The imperial envoy’s eyes widened. He wanted to reach out and rub his eyes, but he didn’t dare, so he could only stare at each other.

Xiao Tianyao opened the official document and glanced at it, the coldness around his body increased.

Like the imperial decree sent by the emperor before, Xiao Tianyao was still asked to return to the capital. But this time there was one more order, that was— the emperor has sent someone to take over the army in Xiao Tianyao’s hands.

Of course, the emperor used very polite words. He only said that the person sent was just temporarily taking over the military power in his hands. He wanted Xiao Tianyao to have free time when he return to the capital.

As if to convince Xiao Tianyao that what he said was true, three “temporary” words appeared on the official document, repeatedly emphasizing that Xiao Tianyao could ignore it if he wanted to.

“Hmph…” Xiao Tianyao sneered and threw the scroll on the table. The imperial envoy jumped in shock, sweat broke out from behind, opened his mouth, but couldn’t say anything.

Without raising his head, Xiao Tianyao spread out the paper, grinned the ink, picked up the brush, and wrote a letter. Before the ink was dry, Xiao Tianyao sealed the letter and threw it into the box. With a flick of his finger, the box flew to the kneeling imperial envoy.

“Take the letter, then get out!” Xiao Tianyao said in disgust.

The loud sound came from hitting the imperial envoy’s head, but he didn’t dare to say a word. He quickly packed the box with the letter: “Yes, yes, yes, this humble one will retire.”

After receiving Xiao Tianyao’s reply, the imperial envoy didn’t dare to stay for long, he even ran out, climbed on his horse, and ran away. He didn’t even dare to rest. It wasn’t until he ran several dozen miles that he realized that he forgot to resupply.

Without food and water supplies, what will he do for the next few days?

It was not a good idea to enter the town with an important official letter from the court.

“I finally understand why no one is willing to run this errand. It’s really hard.” The imperial envoy wanted to cry. He could only survive by hunting and fetching river water.

The arrival of the imperial envoy made Xiao Tianyao’s mood a little worse. He handled a few official duties patiently and looked out from time to time, but he had never seen Lin Chujiu.

As lunch was approaching, the guard brought Xiao Tianyao’s food in, put it down gently, and was about to leave when he heard Xiao Tianyao say: “Where is wangfei?” Did she pack up?

“Wangfei…she’s gone!” Poor guard, he was caught by Xiao Tianyao. He had no choice but to speak.

“What?” Xiao Tianyao’s voice remained the same, but there was a clear change in his tone. Anyone who had been with him would know that Xiao Tianyao was unhappy.

The guard carefully swallowed his saliva and said bravely: “Wangfei said… It’s better to leave early, to not miss the town and find a play to stay early.”

Although the guard didn’t understand what was going on, seeing Lin Chujiu walk so casually, and didn’t even come to see their prince before leaving, he knew something was going on here.

“When did she leave?” Xiao Tianyao suppressed the anger in his heart, but his hands clenched into fists with blue veins revealed his current mood.

“Half an hour ago.” Before leaving, she also met the eldest prince of the central empire. However, the guard didn’t dare to say this, because he was afraid that after saying it, their prince would be even more unhappy.

Before their princess left, she met a lot of people and even said goodbye to the Jinwuwei soldiers, who had been protecting her during this period but didn’t come to say goodbye to their prince.

Well, Lin Chujiu had to do so because the Jinwuwe soldiers sent her to the carriage.

However, no matter what, it was a fact that Lin Chujiu didn’t speak to Xiao Tianyao before she left. And this fact made Xiao Tianyao very annoyed, very very annoyed… …
