Lu Fenying turned around and left the yard with a bunch of people.
The main courtyard instantly fell quiet. All the servants were hugely relieved, but even now, they were puzzled as to why the crown prince had flown into such a rage over a couple of plum blossoms.
Qian'er came out of the garden with the helpers and said, "It's alright. This was all my fault. I'm sorry."
"Please don't say that, miss. You really risked yourself to save us. I thought I was dead for sure," said the maid who had escorted Gu Bailu when she toured the main courtyard; she still held some lingering fear.
"That's right. Nobody whom the crown prince punishes has ever survived. You really saved our lives, miss." The butler was carried away from the long bench. "I thought I was doomed."
"Okay, hurry and get the butler's wounds treated. Since the crown prince let you off, hurry and go about your business."
