As the day of the grand wedding approached, Empress Mo sent an old palace maid to teach Cai Wei the numerous etiquettes required for the enthronement ceremony and to familiarize her with the rules and affairs of the palace. Cai Wei was also busy preparing a generous dowry for herself, bustling about every day in high spirits. Consequently, the trip to Lingbei had to be temporarily shelved.
She did not know that at this very moment, in Lingbei, a wolf on the grassland was lying in wait with a greedy eye, ready to capture her!
To make amends for his faults, the housekeeper Daru had thoroughly investigated Cai Wei's divine methods and not only learned of her development plans in Lingbei but also her regular visitation schedule. This information was relayed to Saknu who made a decisive move, travelling directly from Shengjing to Lingbei, waiting for his prey to fall into the trap!
