Su Luo's eyes widened in horror as she grabbed a bronze mirror from the dressing table and shielded herself with it at the crucial moment.
A cracking sound was heard.
The bronze mirror suffered a heavy blow and turned into a shattered web of cracks.
Inside the mirror's layer was a kind of sleeping powder.
Upon impact, it would scatter into a fine dust and bore into the enemy's nostrils.
This was a mechanism left to her by Prince Aisi, one she had not expected to be put to use so soon.
Seizing the opportunity, Su Luo pushed off with her feet and leapt out the window.
As she looked outside, the scene before her eyes startled her.
Several people lay in the courtyard, haphazard and still.
Lei Yun was among them, but it was unclear whether they were dead or alive.
In the heat of the moment, Su Luo had not seen if the hunchbacked old man had fallen for it.
