The convoy and the people withdrew in a hurry.
Xiao Xu opened the windows slightly, leaving enough space for a finger to penetrate between the two windows.
He leaned sideways and glanced sideways.
Left.
He really left.
No suspicion, no other motive.
Isn't this the result she wanted? Why is she feeling a little down?
Sighing, Xiao Xu closed the window, leaned against it, tilted his head slightly, and closed his eyes.
After observing for another day, she will leave.
The reason I gave myself such a short time interval is that I was afraid that I would regret it if I waited too long.
"Shen Yanjin..."
Xiao Xu murmured softly, a certain picture flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips, and a smile appeared on his lonely face.
However, it is fleeting.
Hopefully, he'll find out later, so he doesn't have to leave the big country and search for her everywhere.
Bai Xi walked through the door into the room and saw Xiao Xu, who looked grim. He asked cautiously, "Master Imperial Master, are you feeling unwell? Would you like me to call a doctor for you?"
"No need. I just didn't get enough rest. How's the investigation going?"
"Prince Shun probably won't make any moves in the short term. As for that priestess, I heard from the ghost that she seems to have left the country for some time."
Xiao nodded.
Perhaps, Fu Qiyin has already arrived in the Wu Kingdom.
He was trying to find a way to smuggle back half of her soul.
Bai Xi: "Master Imperial Master, may I ask why you allowed someone to take your place?"
Although it was very rude, Bai Xi still wanted to know. He thought he should do more for the State Master. After all, the State Master had saved his life a year ago. Without the State Master, he would not be who he is today.
"I have something to do and need to leave the big country. This is one of them."
"Secondly...wasn't there a wanted notice a few days ago for someone impersonating me? I've been missing for a year, and everyone in the country, from the royal family to the common people, is probably in a state of panic, even if they don't show it."
If she still doesn’t show up in a dozen days, the big country will probably experience some kind of unrest, so it would be better to find a substitute first and then wait for her to come back.
Bai Xi seemed to understand but not quite, his handsome face was confused. After hesitating for a long time, he finally said one sentence: "Then... Master Imperial Master, can I follow you?"
Want to go to Wu Kingdom with her?
If she was traveling alone, she might have considered it, but she was not traveling alone, and the matters involved were rather confidential, so she could not have made the decision on her own.
"You stay in the great country and monitor Prince Shun's every move. If anything happens, you report it to Prime Minister Shen immediately and he will handle it... As for the person who pretended to be me, you should also help him in secret."
Bai Xi nodded in agreement. Although it was a pity that he couldn't leave with the Imperial Master, the Imperial Master had given him tasks that only he could do...
Thinking of this, Bai Xi disappeared from the room very readily.
…
Wu Jingyi got into the carriage with a cold face, sat on the soft couch, half of her body leaning against the wall of the carriage, and closed her eyes to rest.
It looks very casual, without any restraint at all.
A maid opened the curtain and said, "Master Imperial Master, would you like to take a bath or go directly to see the Emperor?"
Wu Jingyi's heart was pounding wildly with her eyes closed. She even had the illusion that she was going crazy. If she hadn't closed her eyes, her eyes would have betrayed her.
"Go see the Emperor."
In fact, Wu Jingyi wanted to go back to the Imperial Master's Mansion directly!
But doing so is not like the usual style of the Imperial Master.
