After a while, when the singer finished his rites, Yun Qing finally couldn't stand it anymore and turned to go outside for some fresh air.

Li Yunshu frowned repeatedly and followed her out.

The corridor outside was empty and deserted. Just as Yun Qing was about to have some peace and quiet, she heard Li Yunshu call out to her sternly from behind: "Sister."

Yun Qing turned around: "Why are you here?"

"I'm a little worried about you."

The girl walked over, gently knelt down and rested her head on her knees, a barely perceptible coldness flashing in her eyes: "Sister, tell me the truth, has the young emperor harbored any improper thoughts about you?"

Li Yunshu wasn't stupid. With the information she got from Uncle Jiang and Diancui, the little emperor's gaze was practically irrefutable proof!

What she was more worried about was whether the young emperor had done something to her during the time her elder sister stayed in the palace after her return.

Li Yunshu was too perceptive. Yun Qing sighed softly, "Yunshu."

“Sister!” Li Yunshu looked up at her, pursed her lips, and said sullenly, “I know you care about the world, but there’s no need to throw yourself into it. Go to the northern desert, and you can still do what you want. If you have no interest in the young emperor, you might as well leave as soon as possible. Why be trapped in this cage-like capital?”

Li Yunshu's suggestion was the best solution. If it's truly unintentional, then it's best not to give them any hope at all; keeping them around will only make things more complicated.

But……

Yun Qing lowered her eyes and pondered for a long time before slowly saying, "Yun Shu, I don't really want to leave."

Li Yunshu was stunned for a moment: "Sister, you are right about..."

"I don't know." Yun Qing gently poked her cheek. "Don't look so gloomy. Don't worry, I'll figure it out."

Li Yunshu nodded: "But sister, you must not wrong yourself. If you want to leave, your parents and I will help you."

"Yes, I know." Yun Qing helped her up and said, "You go back first, I'll stay a little longer."

Li Yunshu knew that she needed to think for herself at this time, so she didn't insist: "Okay."
