Xie Yuxiu's hand slowly slid from Yu Jinzhi's face to her shoulder: "Haven't you always wanted to go back? Let's set off tomorrow and return to Beijing."

"Have a good rest, and we'll talk about the rest after we get back." Xie Yuxiu seemed calm, but Yu Jinzhi knew that the more nonchalant he acted, the more serious the consequences might be.

When Xie Yuxiu left the tent, Yu Jinzhi did not stop him. It made her feel as if nothing had happened. The eve of a storm is always peaceful.

Xie Yuxiu didn't even go back to the tent that night, and Yu Jinzhi...didn't ask a single question about anyone.

next morning

At daybreak, Qingyu came to tell Yu Jinzhi to get up. Xie Yuxiu ordered to return to Beijing immediately. When she came out of the tent, she saw Xie Yuxiu in the crowd. He had already boarded the carriage and seemed not to have noticed her.

Yu Jinzhi pursed her lips and had no intention of going forward, but went to the carriage at the back. The furnishings inside were no different from when she came, but it seemed to be warmer than when she came.

"Princess, I'm afraid his majesty is really angry this time. You should..." Qingyu's face was also full of worry.

Yu Jinzhi immediately stopped her from saying the next thing: "Don't say anything more. It has come to this point. Is there anything that can be salvaged?" She was also angry.

Qingyu was helpless, but she always felt uneasy in her heart.

The carriage sped along, and Yu Jinzhi could clearly feel that it was much faster than when she came. She didn't know if it was because she didn't sleep all night and didn't get enough rest last night, so she felt dizzy all day.

She had been reading a book, but now she can't keep going. I kept rubbing my head tiredly.

"Is the princess feeling unwell? How about I ask them to stop and rest for a while?" Qingyu also noticed it.

Yu Jinzhi shook her head: "No, I'll sleep for a while." She didn't want to delay the trip, and the longer she delayed, the more torment she would suffer.

Qingyu didn't know what to say after hearing this, so Yu Jinzhi put down the book in his hand and prepared to take a rest.

Although she felt dizzy, the carriage was stable and she fell asleep quickly. When she woke up again, Yu Jinzhi found that the carriage had stopped.

"What's going on?" Yu Jinzhi asked in a daze.

Qingyu stood by her side and explained: "Your Majesty asked the convoy to rest here for a while. How is the princess feeling? How about I ask the imperial physician to come and take a look?" she asked.

Yu Jinzhi lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out. Xie Yuxiu's carriage was parked in front.

"How long will it take to get to the capital?" Yu Jinzhi asked.

"I'm afraid it will take more than an hour to get there." Qingyu replied.

More than an hour? So fast? Last time, it took almost a whole day to walk from the capital to the camp, and today it only took half a day.

"No need, I feel much better now." Yu Jinzhi didn't want to go to see the imperial physician with a lot of fuss.

She lowered the curtains, and the book she had just read was still on the table. Yu Jinzhi suddenly thought of the day she came, when she also fell asleep and leaned on Xie Yuxiu.

When he woke up, his body was numb.

and also……

"I'll give you a month to think about it carefully and see if you can find out what I like." Xie Yuxiu's words reappeared in Yu Jinzhi's mind.

What could he like?

Yu Jinzhi sighed. Perhaps because she was getting closer and closer to the capital, she became more and more nervous. Because she didn't know what kind of situation she would face when she returned.

A quarter of an hour later, the carriages reorganized and set off.

It was so quiet inside Xie Yuxiu's carriage that you could hear a pin drop. He had hardly said a word since this morning. The only thing he said was that he had asked the carriage to be repaired for fifteen minutes.

Wang Yi felt suffocated waiting nearby. This feeling was too wrong. This had never happened before. Even if His Majesty was very angry, he couldn't remain silent.

He could still offer some advice before, but in this situation, he doesn't dare to say a word.

He only prayed that His Majesty would not do something that would make him regret when he returned this time. As an outsider, he actually saw the relationship between Xie Yuxiu and Yu Jinzhi very clearly.

As the saying goes, those who are involved are often confused, while those who are on the sidelines can see things more clearly. Your Majesty really cares about and is worried about the princess, and has even changed a lot for her.

Although he had done many things to hurt the princess in the past, at least he cared about it now. But what he feared most now was that if Xie Yuxiu did something irreparable because of a momentary impulse, he would definitely regret it later.

The carriage went all the way to the capital, and Xie Yuxiu didn't even let anyone greet them. The huge crowds of people made it hard to breathe.

Yu Jinzhi was helped down from the carriage by Qingyu. As soon as she stood firm, she saw Xie Yuxiu getting down from the carriage. However, Xie Yuxiu still didn't look at her, and she didn't mean to go forward.

"Go to Zichen Palace." Xie Yuxiu's tone remained unchanged.

Wang Yi's waist is also getting lower and lower, and the storm is coming...

"Princess, let me accompany you back." Qingyu said, and the "back" naturally refers to returning to Jiayu Palace.

but……

"Princess." A young eunuch came from not far away.

Yu Jinzhi knew him. He was the person who served Xie Yuxiu.

"His Majesty has ordered that the princess and her companions should go to the Zichen Palace together." said the young eunuch.

Yu Jinzhi clenched her hand holding the handkerchief slightly. She knew that what was supposed to come had come.

"Got it." Yu Jinzhi replied.

She looked at Xie Yuxiu who was already walking away in the distance, and wondered in her heart what he wanted to do.

When Yu Jinzhi arrived at Zichen Palace, Xie Yuxiu had already sat down in the main seat. She looked at the person at the top and sat down next to him without any hesitation.

Upon seeing this, Wang Yi looked at Yu Jinzhi once more. Although His Majesty had always told Yu Jinzhi not to care about these empty formalities, she still paid her respects very politely every time.

What happened today? In this situation, she actually dared to ignore Xie Yuxiu and just sit down beside him?

Wang Yi glanced at Xie Yuxiu cautiously again, and found that his Majesty did not seem to want to blame him, so he simply shut up.

As for Qingyu...I was almost scared silly just now.

"Bring it up." Xie Yuxiu's light words made Yu Jinzhi's breathing disordered.

It was easy to guess who the person brought here was. But... was Xie Yuxiu planning to deal with him here?

What exactly did he want to do? Yu Jinzhi was a little confused for a moment.
