Bai Ruozhu smiled without revealing any emotion. The Fireflies wouldn't fly incorrectly, so there were only two possibilities: one, Song Yi's men caught Chushuang and hid her in Empress Shangzi's palace, but Empress Shangzi was unaware. Two, there was something suspicious about Empress Shangzi.
For some reason, Bai Ruozhu thought the second possibility was more likely. There was no evidence, just intuition.
She had also considered whether Empress Shangzi might be under control, but judging by all signs, Empress Shangzi's character hadn't changed, and she hadn't made any strange moves, so she probably wasn't affected by the Poisonous Insect.
The only suspicious thing was her unexpected relationship with Prince Wen De.
"The Emperor is protected by the gods; otherwise, we wouldn't have smoothly found the Dragon-seeking Grass," Bai Ruozhu replied with a smile.
