Bai Ruozhu bid farewell to the two and found a chance to read Jiang Yichun's letter. The letter stated that he had accepted a mission to secretly return to the Capital City and publicly claimed he was going to the Southwest to mobilize troops with General Ma Tongfang of Zhenan. He instructed Bai Ruozhu not to leak this information. He also mentioned that the Emperor had entrusted him with most of the Shadow Guard, so she needn't worry about his safety. Additionally, he said he would return in two months and urged her to take care of herself.
At the end, he instructed her to burn the letter after reading it. She had no choice but to fold the letter, called Jianqi to strike a flint, and watched as the paper with his handwriting turned to ashes.
