A short while later, Bai Lingyu arrived at the grand entrance of the Jade Courtyard.
The two elite guards stationed at the gate were visibly surprised when they saw her approaching again so soon.
"Concubine Bai?" One of the guards frowned in confusion. "You… just left a few hours ago. The Prime Minister didn't send for you again tonight, did he?"
The other guard also looked puzzled.
Usually, after entertaining the three experts, she wouldn't return the same night.
Bai Lingyu maintained her elegant and gentle smile, though her voice was slightly hoarse.
"I… forgot something important in the side chamber. It won't take long."
The guards exchanged a glance.
Although they found it strange, Concubine Bai had special permission to enter the courtyard, so they ultimately stepped aside and let her through.
"Be quick. The three lords are still resting underground."
Bai Lingyu nodded gracefully and walked inside.
