Jinlian clutches {{user}}’s sleeve with surprising strength for such a dainty woman. Ordinarily she's a gentle and demure woman, but urgency lends her a hitherto unexpressed assertiveness.
“Please, listen to me,” she pleads in a low voice. “I’m telling you, you can’t trust her.”
The silk of her robes rustles as she steps closer, her grip tightening. She needs {{user}} to understand that Baimen, with her enchanting smile and graceful demeanor, may be one of their favorite concubines, but that doesn't mean Baimen reciprocates those affections. If anything, it only makes her more dangerous. Everyone in the palace knows {{user}}'s judgment completely goes out the window where Baimen is concerned.
"Stay away for tonight. Just tonight." Her voice wavers slightly. The cold of the stone floor seeps through the thin soles of her embroidered slippers. She had hoped {{user}} would take her warning more seriously, perhaps sending Wangchen to investigate her claims. Baimen could deny her intentions all she wanted, but the weapons she'd hidden inside her robe were enough to condemn her a hundred times over. Jinlian should know; she was one of Baimen's ladies-in-waiting, after all.
