Hua Yihen lowered his eyes to glance at Xu Chang and said calmly, "While I'm away, Prince Xun's Mansion and Xue Yang will be handed over to you."

Xu Chang was slightly startled, then turned around to take down the black leather whip hanging next to the saddle. He then turned back and asked, "How long will the prince be gone?"

Hua Yihen was silent for a moment and said, "At least one month."

Hua Yihen walked to the horse, flipped over and sat on its back. His movements were smooth and graceful, without any delay.

Xu Chang stepped forward and handed the horsewhip to Hua Yihen, bowing his head slightly to show respect, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, please be careful on your journey."

Hua Yihen nodded slightly, held the reins in his hands, and squeezed his legs. The horse ran smartly, running faster and faster. The cold wind at night blew Hua Yihen's cloak high up, making a heavy sound.

The black clothes and black hair flutter in the wind, and the sound of horse hooves stepping on the wind.

Hua Yihen's back gradually blended into the night, and only the clatter of horse hooves could be faintly heard.

Xu Chang's face was more solemn than ever before, much more solemn than when he knew that the Flowing Cloud Forest really existed; than when he knew the origin of the strange man in black; and than when he knew that Xue Yang was in love with Hua Yihen.

"Where is the prince going?" Su Yang came behind Xu Chang at some point, with his long hair loose and a green robe draped over his body.

Xu Chang was not surprised by Su Yang's sudden appearance. He replied calmly, "I don't know."

Hearing this, Su Yang couldn't help but frown: "You actually don't know?" He paused and said suspiciously: "Are you afraid that I will pester the prince and deliberately not tell me?"

Xu Chang glanced at Su Yang calmly and said, "Whatever you think."

After that, Xu Chang left, leaving Su Yang alone in the wind.

Coming back to his senses, Su Yang shouted at Xu Chang's back: "General Xu, you have changed!!"

In the past, Xu Chang never spoke to her in this tone.

The next day, Lizhou Imperial Capital.

Ji Xingzhi got up early in the morning, had breakfast and went to the Regent's Palace.

Strangely, Xiao Moyan was not in the study or the bedroom today, but in the hall of the palace.

As soon as Ji Xingzhi saw Xiao Moyan, she ran up to him, stood beside him, and did something that stunned everyone present.

Ji Xingzhi suddenly ripped open his clothes, pointed at his neck and said, "Uncle, look."

Xiao Moyan raised his eyes and glanced at Ji Xingzhi's fair collarbone, frowning slightly: "Put on your clothes."

Ji Xingzhi was slightly stunned and suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong. She looked around and found that there was not only Xiao Moyan in the hall, but also several servants serving him. In addition, there was also a woman present.

Ji Xingzhi quickly tightened her clothes and said with embarrassment, "Uncle, do you have guests here?"

It's really strange. Apart from her, almost no one comes to the Regent's Palace, let alone a woman.

A woman! Ji Xingzhi's eyes suddenly widened, and he turned to look at the woman. He was suddenly shocked when he saw her. It was An Huaxin!

I saw An Huaxin wearing a lake green long dress, with a graceful figure, a restrained waist, a beautiful face, and eyes like the starry sky. After not seeing her for many years, she became even more beautiful and elegant.

An Huaxin stood up and knelt on one knee in front of Ji Xingzhi, saying calmly, "Your humble servant, An Huaxin, pays respect to the Emperor."

Ji Xingzhi adjusted his facial expression, revealing what he thought was a very friendly smile. He stepped forward and helped An Huaxinxu up, saying, "General An, please excuse me. Shouldn't you be guarding the Eastern Border? I had no idea when you came to the Imperial City."
