[Brother Sumire must be very tired.]

"Why are you talking so much?!"

Jin Jin raised her hand to strike Cao Canjun, but Cao Canjun turned around and dodged.

"Yes, let's go."

"His Majesty must be getting anxious waiting in the palace."

"Hurry, hurry! That bastard Xi Jing actually used me to threaten Father into ceding the Five Continents of Youji!"

Yun Duoduo clenched her little fists in anger.

"That's such a despicable tactic!"

Jin Jinzhi, with Yun Duoduo in tow and Cao Canjun following behind, rode their horses, which were tied to tree stumps, back to the palace at breakneck speed.

...

The horse galloped all the way to the palace, where Yun Duoduo sensed the oppressive atmosphere.

Yun Beiye and the Empress Dowager were in a bad mood, and no one in the entire palace dared to speak loudly, let alone laugh or joke.

When everyone saw that the King of Jibei had returned with Princess Yourong, the heavy weight on their hearts finally lifted.

"Father!"

Jin Jinzhi carried Yun Duoduo down, and Yun Duoduo ran to the Zichen Palace to find Yun Beiye.

"Duoduo!"

"You're finally back! I was so worried about your father."

Yun Beiye held Yun Duoduo tightly in her arms.

"Father, Duoduo will be alright. Duoduo is so smart, even if she is captured, she can escape."

"Father, the five continents of You and Ji must never be ceded!"

Yun Duoduo looked at Yun Beiye with a nervous expression. She glanced at Zhao Zhongquan beside her. Judging from his expression, Youji Wuzhou should still be safe.

"Don't worry, my decree hasn't been issued yet."

"If you haven't returned by tonight."

"Father had no choice but to cede it."

"Father, you mustn't!"
