She snuggled closer to Xiao Heye, her thin shoulders trembling... She seemed to be crying, but Xiao Heye couldn't hear the crying; he could only hear his own heartbeat.

It's getting more and more intense, more and more out of control...

It was late at night when Su Tiyue left Yelan Pavilion.

It was still snowing outside, falling heavily from the sky like willow catkins or pure white cotton, drifting lightly and freely in the wind.

Looking around, the entire palace was a vast expanse of white, like a silver-clad landscape, a breathtaking sight.

Knowing that the roads would be slippery in the snow and it would be inconvenient for the servants to carry the sedan chair, Su Tiyue did not ride in the sedan chair but walked back.

Back at the Brocade Palace, Su Tiyue finally felt much more at ease when she collapsed heavily onto her soft couch.

However, she was too delicate and caught a cold wind on her way back from Yelan Pavilion, and fell ill that very night.

The next morning, just after Su Tiyue finished taking her medicine, Qingwu walked in happily from outside, her eyes crinkling with joy, and said:

"Your Majesty, someone from the manor brought a message saying that our master was released by the Zhenfu Division last night and returned home safely."

"real?!"

Liu Wan and Su Tiyue said in unison.

Qingwu smiled and nodded: "It's absolutely true, Your Majesty, are you relieved now?"

"It's good that you're alright..." Su Tiyue finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this news.

So, Xiao Heye released her father in the middle of the night yesterday? Su Tiyue left Yelan Pavilion, and Xiao Heye released him right after?

But he clearly said he would think about it...

I originally thought that Xiao Heye, who was so vengeful and cunning, would not let people go so easily.

The matter of Prince Rong was largely due to his help. The case had only been closed for a few days when her father submitted a memorial impeaching Xiao Heye... Regardless of whether Xiao Heye was a traitor or not, he was still a benefactor to the Su family, wasn't he?

So when Su Tiyue went to Xiao Heye to plead for her father, you could tell he was unhappy.

Judging from Xiao Heye's various behaviors, Su Tiyue felt increasingly unable to figure out his thoughts.

Indeed, it's hard to guess what a eunuch is thinking...
