For her, there was only one option!

She knew in her heart that Chu Yan wanted to go back. After all, he was the Emperor of Chu!

“Let’s go back to the capital.” She said in a low voice.

It was only a moment of silence, but for Chu Yan, it seemed that it had been a lifetime.

His uneasy mood finally relaxed the moment she spoke.

Ecstasy surged up and swept through his body. He extended his long arm, grabbed her arm, and brought her into his arms: “Zhi’er, Zhi’er, thank you.” Thank you for not leaving me anymore, thank you for being with me.

Bai Zhi buried her head in his chest. Her heart was heavy, stuffy, and unhappy. It seemed that she had lost something at this moment.

A very valuable thing.

What was it? Freedom? Herself?

She doesn’t know!

Life was so unpredictable that you will never know what will happen next.

She got used to the peaceful life in Liu County, but now it seems she has to get away from it.

Gu Boyang looked at the yard in front of him and sighed again and again.

If he wasn’t worried about Bai Zhi he would rather stay here. He didn’t want to be involved in the struggle for power of the ancients. Where he didn’t know how he will die.

“Brother, if you like here, please stay.”

Gu Boyang shook his head: “That’s no good. What if Lin Yang came to pick you up with a spaceship one day? If I’m not beside you, how can I go back with you?”

Bai Zhi laughed: “What are you talking about? How can it be possible?”

Gu Boyang said: “What’s impossible? We can come, why can’t he?” Thinking of Lin Yang, Gu Boyang couldn’t help joking: “Other girls expect their lover to be the prince who rides the white horse. Look at how well you are doing. Not only do you have a prince who rides the white horse, but also the bamboo horse who drives the spaceship. Alas, I envy you to death.”

Bai Zhi rolled her eyes at him and said, “Don’t talk nonsense, clean up quickly.”

At the corner, a dark purple robe flashed away. Chu Yan closed his mouth and walked back without saying a word.

Zhou Awu followed behind him and asked in a low voice: “Your Majesty, what is a spaceship?” Lin Yang. wasn’t that the owner of the booklet?

Chu Yan didn’t answer but still strode forward. Zhou Awu didn’t help him, but he didn’t walk a step wrong. Looking at his eyes, they were not as dull as usual, and his eyes were bright.

Zhou Awu quickened his pace and said to Chu Yan, “Your majesty, walk slowly. If Zhi’er saw it, she would be suspicious.”

Hearing this, Chu Yan slowed down. His vision was slowly recovering. It was still blurred, but he was enough to see the road.

The imperial guard found the antidote in the seventh prince’s house. He had taken it three days ago. But to let Bai Zhi go back with him, he had to continue to pretend blind and play the bitter trick to the end.

*

On the way back to the capital, to observe Chu Yan’s condition, Bai Zhi shared a carriage with him. While Zhou Awu rode a horse, and Gu Boyang and Xiao Qing shared a carriage.

Seeing Chu Yan asleep, she just snuggled up beside him to rest. She was too tired on the way, so even though the carriage was bumpy, she felt drowsy. After a while, an even breath sounded.

It was cloudy today. The curtains and door curtains of the carriage were closed. It was quite dark in the carriage. Chu Yan’s bright eyes opened in the dark.

Looking at the person beside him quietly, he saw Bai Zhi snuggling beside him. His heart became warm and soft.
