He came to the capital specifically to see Xiao Tang.

Even if it costs him his life, he wants to take this woman away.

But when he actually saw it, he panicked.

This woman has changed; she has become a complete stranger.

Xiao Tang shook her head: "Young Master Murong, I think you have really misunderstood something. I am just that kind of woman. Why would I, a perfectly good Regent's Consort, not sit and run away with you? I might even be chased to the ends of the earth by the Regent."

She spoke solemnly and respectfully.

Murong stared blankly at her.

After a while, he finally pulled out the medicinal herb, which was only the size of a thumb, from his clothes.

He handed it to Xiao Tang with difficulty.

She accepted it without hesitation.

"Have a safe journey, I'm off now." Xiao Tang jumped off the carriage and waved.

His expression was remarkably calm, as if he were bidding farewell to a friend he had almost forgotten.

It was precisely this composure that caused Murong Ze's heart to ache to the point that even breathing became difficult.

Xiao Tang gently touched her forehead, not out of pity, but because she felt a little embarrassed.

Others felt sad, but she felt nothing at all.

He patted the horse's rump and said, "Take care."

After saying this, she turned and headed towards the city gate without looking back.

Murong gazed longingly at her retreating figure through the car window, but all he saw was a resolute and ruthless expression.

This is probably what is meant by leaving no room for maneuver.

After returning to the Prince's Mansion, Xiao Tang thought that the villain would be hiding from her again.

Unexpectedly, I ran into Yan Jiu as soon as I went in.

Yan Jiu's eyes flickered slightly. When he met her gaze, he explained softly, "Your Highness, the Prince said... he is waiting for you in the study."
