Zijin must be worrying about me now.
"I handed it to you to prevent body searches when entering the palace, but no one has searched me yet."
"Then let me rescue Master!" Meiduo suddenly realized something, her tone excited for a moment, then quickly covered her mouth with her small hand, "I, I can use the dagger to gently pry open the slats on the window, and Master can get out through the window, or I can steal the guard's keys—"
"No!"
Gu Lan quickly spoke up to stop her, the boy's dark eyes suddenly became as sharp as awls, displaying an expression Meiduo had never seen before, serious, making her heart race.
"Meiduo, everything is under Master's control. You must trust Master and never act rashly, okay."
Gu Lan realized she might have scared the little girl, so she coughed lightly and softened her voice.
Meiduo nodded blankly, her eyes red as if she might burst into tears at any moment: "But... I also want to do something for Master. I don't want to see Master suffer."
