Wen Hu clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Yes!"

...

Changsui City.

Outside the gate of Jing Palace.

Yuan Xiu was originally waiting inside the Jing Palace behind the gate, but upon hearing the news that Yuan Yun was about to arrive, he excitedly came to the outside of the Jing Palace.

There was still no sign of Yuan Yun and her entourage on the distant streets. Yuan Xiu looked around, then looked up at the sky and sighed, "It seems like I haven't left the palace for quite some time."

Wei You quickly said, "Now that we're out, why doesn't Your Majesty walk a little further?"

"Let's go, let's go!" Yuan Xiu strode forward, his pace gradually increasing, and then he laughed heartily as he walked.

The further they went, the more pedestrians they encountered, and the denser the guards became for Yuan Xiu.

Upon seeing Yuan Xiu's entourage and the imposing presence, some of the more perceptive people immediately recognized him and knelt down.

Yuan Xiu pointed ahead and asked, "My imperial sister and nephew came this way, didn't they? If I miss them, I'll chop you both up!"

Wei You said, "This is the right road, there's no mistake!"

Yuan Xiu asked with suspicion, "Zhao Cheng is full of tricks. What if he plans to take his son sightseeing after entering the city?"

Wei You's face immediately fell; upon reflection, it really was a possibility!

Yuan Xiu pointed at Wei You and said sternly, "If you miss this opportunity and fail to give the Imperial Sister a pleasant surprise, I will really chop you up!"

Wei You was now in a bind, unable to back down, so he confidently declared, "I'm betting my life on this, Your Majesty, you can just keep going!"

"Hey! I trust you!"

Yuan Xiu gave Wei You a doting look, then strode forward with large swings of his arms, walking with a powerful and unrestrained air, as if he didn't recognize anyone. But as he walked, his pace gradually slowed down.

But this slowdown was only temporary, and soon Yuan Xiu ran forward as fast as he could.

At this moment, Yuan Xiu was nothing like an emperor; he was more like the little snot-nosed boy who ran towards his sister in the snow more than a decade ago.

"Hahaha, Your Majesty, you're back!!!"
