"Ah Ning, it's alright, I'm here, it's alright."

Xiao Xuan's gentle voice reached her ears, but Ning Yin couldn't hear anything clearly; she only felt a buzzing in her ears.

My body seemed to be out of control, trembling uncontrollably.

She could see nothing and hear nothing, letting the man hold her tightly in his arms.

When they returned to the East Palace, it was already the next morning. Ning Yin was carried by Xiao Xuan all the way back to Changxin Palace.

Just as he was about to step into the hall, Xiao Xuan was surprised to see Wang Yuan dressed in a magnificent palace gown, walking excitedly toward him.

Their eyes met, and Wang Yuan's face immediately turned pale.

Completely unaware that Xiao Xuan's eyes had narrowed into dangerous slits, he merely glanced at her coldly before carrying Ning Yin directly into the bedchamber.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you're finally back..."

Upon seeing this, Su Xin and Granny Zhang hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"Suxin, go and invite Imperial Physician Chen; Granny Zhang, go and fetch a bowl of soothing porridge..."

"But let people in after Aning wakes up."

As he gave the instructions, Xiao Xuan carefully placed the person on the bed and covered them with a blanket.

Ning Yin was already asleep. She had cried for a long time last night, and Xiao Xuan had been holding her and comforting her until she was tired from crying and fell asleep. Only then did he carry her onto the carriage and take her back to the East Palace.

She must be exhausted; let her get some sleep first.

Although Xiao Xuan himself was exhausted, the thought that Wang Yuan was actually in Changxin Palace made his eyes turn cold and dark.

After leaving his bedchamber, he first took a bath and changed his clothes, and then ate some breakfast.

Chen Dechang stood to the side, somewhat apprehensive, with a layer of cold sweat on his forehead.

He had no idea how that wretched maid had managed to run from the side hall to Changxin Hall...

"Chen Dechang, what's going on!" Xiao Xuan said coldly.

Chen Dechang hurriedly knelt down to explain.

"Your Highness, it must be those few lazy servants who failed to keep a close watch on this lowly maid. But I have already sent someone to take her back."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuan's eyes darkened further. He tapped the table lightly with his fingertips and spoke again.

"Is there any movement from Huguo Temple?"

"Your Highness, everything is normal at Huguo Temple. We are just waiting to send that lowly maid over the day after tomorrow."
