Xiao Yunying followed Luo Sheng into the cabin. She went to the supermarket, thinking that she hadn't rested well recently, so she simply let Luo Sheng knock her unconscious, which would be like catching up on sleep.
When she woke up, Luo Sheng was no longer in the room. She took a wet wipe and wiped her face to clear her mind before leaving the cabin and going up to the deck.
It was already dark outside, which meant I had slept for at least a day.
She had just stepped onto the deck when she heard Luo Sheng call her: "Yun Ying, are you awake?"
Xiao Yunying turned around and saw him jump down from the cargo: "You're awake. You finally had a good night's sleep."
Luo Sheng took off his cloak and draped it over her shoulders: "The sea breeze is chilly, be careful not to catch a cold, let's go into the cabin."
"Let me stay here for a while, the smell inside is too strong."
Xiao Yunying walked to the bow of the ship, looking at the sun in the distance, its rising or setting unclear: "Is this sunrise or sunset?"
"It's sunrise."
"I slept for almost a day and a night?"
"It's okay. You haven't been able to rest properly for over a month. These short naps won't hurt. I was injured once before and slept for almost four days."
Xiao Yunying said with heartache, "You don't need to comfort me about this. Besides, you weren't sleeping, you were practically unconscious."
Luo Sheng realized he had said the wrong thing and quickly changed the subject: "How are you? Are you seasick?"
"It's alright." Xiao Yunying took a deep breath: "The sea breeze is cool, which helps me stay awake."
"Would you like something to eat?"
She touched her stomach: "I'm not hungry yet, I'll see later."
"Alright, there's nothing good on the ship. Let's go to a restaurant for something nice after we get off."
Xiao Yunying asked in surprise, "We can get off the ship in a little while? Is it that fast?"
“I’ve had someone choose a new route.” Luo Sheng pointed ahead: “We should arrive in about half an hour. It’s just that the sea route has been shortened, so we’ll have to travel a bit more by land.”
"That's fine, as long as we don't take a boat."
Luo Sheng took out a piece of paper from his pocket: "Last night I asked someone to find out what things to do and eat around here. Since we're already here, I'll take you to have a good time."
Xiao Yunying touched her lower abdomen: "We can't go sightseeing anymore, we have to go back quickly."
Seeing her movements, Luo Sheng asked somewhat nervously, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No." Seeing that he had completely forgotten about that matter, Xiao Yunying explained softly, "Didn't you say we were going to have a wedding ceremony again? This baby is already over two months along, and it won't be long before the pregnancy shows. If that happens, I won't be able to wear that beautiful wedding dress anymore..."
Luo Sheng hesitated and said, "But..."
"No buts. If you want to reschedule the ceremony, then I want to do it in the best possible way so that you and I don't have any regrets. As for sightseeing here, we have plenty of time in the future. You can come anytime you want."
Luo Sheng grasped her hand: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Xiao Yunying thought of the several ships carrying gold and silver treasures: "Do you need to escort these things back to the capital to report?"
"No need. Have the local prefect send troops to transport them. My men will accompany them."
He had another matter he hadn't mentioned: if he didn't hurry back to take care of things now, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to get it done.
Xiao Yunying always trusted Luo Sheng, and she was sure he could handle anything he promised, so she had no worries.
Once the boat docked, Luo Sheng first took her to the clinic, where the doctor examined her before taking her to eat.
He then wrote a letter and gave it to Wei Xun, asking him to pass it on.
While eating, Xiao Yunying asked curiously, "What kind of message is being sent?"
"Ask if my wedding dress is ready. If not, find a few more embroiderers to hurry up and finish it. The wedding dress must be delivered before we go back."
After they finished eating, Xiao Yunying declined Luo Sheng's suggestion to find an inn to rest for the night.
"I'm not feeling that bad this time. If you're not tired, let's just go and not waste any more time."
Luo Sheng knew she wasn't the type to suffer, so he had a carriage that had been prepared in advance brought over. It was the same carriage that Ying Yi had brought her, but it was more spacious and the mattresses on it were thicker.
As soon as Xiao Yunying stepped out of the city gate, she felt the carriage stop. Just as she was wondering what was going on, she heard Luo Sheng, who was riding a horse outside, say, "Yunying, get off here. Someone wants to see you."
She lifted the curtain and saw the two Ying brothers standing in front of the carriage.
Xiao Yunying was surprised that they didn't leave immediately. She got off the carriage and walked over, saying, "I thought you would leave here overnight."
Ying Yi took out a letter and handed it over: "I can't go back on my word to the young lady."
"You keep your word." Xiao Yunying took the envelope. She knew what was written inside: "I want to ask you two questions. You don't have to answer them, but you can't lie to me."
"May I ask, young lady?"
Have you ever indiscriminately killed innocent people before?
She only agreed to take Ying Zhao off the island, not to release Ying Yi.
Ying Zhao had almost never left the island. Her first mission was to kidnap her. Given Ying Yi's status, if he had killed many people under Feng Yi's orders in the past, she wouldn't have let him go so easily as if nothing had happened.
Whether she was forced or not, she had done it... She didn't want Luo Sheng to show favoritism for her.
Ying Yi's expression remained unchanged, but Ying Zhao became agitated first: "What do you mean? Are you trying to bring up old grievances? If my brother hadn't risked his life to bring people here, who could have saved you!"
Xiao Yunying looked at him and said, "Without your brother, Luo Sheng could easily land on the island. I also have ways to protect myself. As long as I want to leave, Feng Yi can't stop me."
