The Empress’s entourage had entered the territory of Beiming, but they seemed to have encountered some obstacles recently.
According to the messages that had been sent back, it would still take about four to five days to arrive.
“Is she really in the entourage?” Feng Yexuan wasn't sure what he was thinking.
Leng Ji couldn't understand either. “Your Highness, if Her Majesty the Empress isn’t in the entourage, what would happen?”
Only within one’s own army was it safe.
“Did they… see it with their own eyes?”
“Of course, everyone saw it with their own eyes. Moreover, Fu Ning has been guarding Her Majesty the Empress’s side.”
Leng Ji subconsciously glanced towards the guest room door.
But perhaps even he didn’t know what he was thinking.
His Highness was the same, what was His Highness thinking?
“Your Highness, do you want to go back and personally welcome Her Majesty?”
The path they were taking was slightly different, but the road ahead was the same.
If His Highness set off now, taking the official road from Qingxi Town to the Dragon Ascending Kingdom, he could meet up with the Empress’s entourage in at most two days.
No, with His Highness’s speed, one day and one night would be enough.
Leng Ji had even prepared himself mentally, thinking His Highness might set off at any moment.
But to his surprise, Feng Yexuan fell silent.
“Your Highness?” Leng Ji couldn’t figure out what he was thinking.
Leng Ji had actually already ordered the luggage to be packed.
With the two parties so close, it would only take a day and a night for His Highness to see Miss Chu.
Didn’t His Highness long to see Chu Qianli quickly?
At this moment, from the guest room, Feng Jinrui and Xiao Yao, who was carrying a bundle, were coming out together.
No one knew what the Fourteenth Prince had said to her, but Xiao Yao looked quite happy at the moment.
She didn’t seem as sad as she was earlier.
However, upon seeing Feng Yexuan standing in the courtyard, the smile on Xiao Yao’s lips faded considerably.
She pursed her lips, carrying her bundle, and walked up to Feng Yexuan.
It was evident that she was somewhat unwilling, but she seemed to have been persuaded by the Fourteenth Prince.
“Your Highness, please, for the sake of my contribution to the people of Qingxi Town, allow me to follow the entourage back to the imperial city.”
After thinking for a moment, a hint of light appeared in her eyes. “Your Highness, don’t worry, once I reach the imperial city, I will leave immediately and will not delay the army!”
Although she felt it would be fine to travel alone, her master was worried.
Her master had instructed her to follow Prince Xuan’s army, and she had to obey her master.
Feng Yexuan stared at her, not speaking, his expression not very pleasant, but he didn’t seem angry.
Xiao Yao was already mentally prepared, as this noble prince was capricious and difficult to get along with.
Feng Jinrui said softly, “My Fourth Imperial Brother means he doesn’t object.”
Xiao Yao immediately smiled brightly and said, “Thank you, Your Highness.”
“Jinrui, let’s go.”
“Fourth Imperial Brother, I’ll take Xiao Yao back to the military camp first.”
Feng Jinrui picked up her bundle and walked away with her.
They looked like a pair of good friends, just short of holding hands!
Even Leng Ji found it strange. “When did the Fourteenth Prince become so close to a young lady?”
Although this young lady looked like a child who hadn’t grown up.
But the Fourteenth Prince had always disliked being close to women!
The Prince beside him gave no response.
Leng Ji couldn’t help but secretly glance at him.
He saw that he was just staring in the direction Feng Jinrui and Xiao Yao had left, his eyes deep, as if lost in thought.
For a long time, he remained in this posture, silent.
Leng Ji felt it was necessary to remind him. “Your Highness, so, are we still going…”
“Go back, organize the three armies, and set off immediately at dawn tomorrow.”
Feng Yexuan walked away.
After taking only two steps, he suddenly remembered something.
Were they just discussing whether or not to turn back and welcome Li’er?
