"In two days. You guys can freely explore the Capital and enjoy yourselves before we head out." Bai Xifeng said.
"How about you? Are you coming with us?" Xie Lanying asked.
"I will probably be stuck handling my business preparations here. Plus, I have a strong feeling I am about to be officially summoned." Bai Xifeng narrowed her eyes, a faint glint flashing in her gaze.
"Summoned? By whom?" Xie Qingge asked, looking genuinely confused.
"The Royal Family, obviously." Xie Lanying guessed correctly.
"Bingo. When I left the Capital City previously alongside my father and brother, the royal family was utterly furious because I managed to slip entirely out of their grasp." Bai Xifeng snorted with disdain. "The royal family, especially the Emperor, is terrified of my father's military authority. So, the old fool naively assumed that if he kept me hostage in the Capital, he could easily use me as leverage to control my father."
