Dusk gradually enveloped the wilderness, a crescent moon had risen, and the cool night breeze was blowing across the wilderness.
On the open grassland, captured prey piled up like mountains. A blazing bonfire lit up the hunting grounds, its flames illuminating the excited faces of the people. The meat roasting on the racks sizzled with oil, emitting bursts of rich aroma that stimulated everyone's sense of smell and taste buds.
Everyone looked forward to a sumptuous feast of wild game, especially one they had caught themselves. People laughed and talked loudly, recounting their hunting experiences. The thrilling stories, embellished with embellishment, became even more memorable and filled with pride.
Xie Wanyun's story of saving the emperor from a bear's mouth was spread as if it were a miracle by the guards who witnessed it.
At this moment, she was in the Queen Mother's room, facing pairs of curious and admiring eyes. She patiently dealt with them.
When he looked up by chance, he met the thoughtful gaze of Anyang Princess Li Fengmian.
The two of them hadn't gotten along well over the years, so during this spring search, Li Fengmian also deliberately avoided her.
The two had no contact in the hunting ground during the day, but now that the few female relatives were gathered together, they were bound to interact with each other.
Xie Wanyun felt a little uncomfortable when he saw the ambiguous smile on her lips. Furthermore, he was indeed tired, so he said to the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, I am a little tired. I would like to take my leave first."
The Queen Mother was startled and said hurriedly, "That's right. Look at me, I'm old and confused. Wanyun has worked hard today, go and rest."
Xie Wanyun's residence was in a small palace not far ahead.
As soon as she walked out, she ran into a patrol of guards. The guards stepped aside respectfully when they saw her, their eyes full of admiration.
She rescued the emperor from a bear's mouth, fearlessly facing danger and slaying the bear with her own hands. How many people in the world possess such advanced martial arts and extraordinary courage? And she's a woman.
"Ming-Ming."
Xie Wanyun's body trembled imperceptibly. Apart from Yan Suizhi, no one else could call her that.
She turned around.
Yan Suizhi stood in the shadows, the night breeze blowing gently, the hem of his robe rustling. A bonfire was blazing not far away, his face flickering in the dancing flames, but his eyes shone like stars.
Yan Suizhi's voice trembled. "Meimei, you scared me today..."
Xie Wanyun instinctively looked around. It was already late, and if someone saw them talking here, it would be difficult to explain. Moreover, she felt uneasy when she thought of Li Fengmian's malicious look.
"Mianmei, don't worry. The patrolling guard just left and won't be back for a while. I'll just say a few words and then leave."
How could Yan Suizhi not understand what she was thinking.
Xie Wanyun's heartbeat quickened. Yan Suizhi's eyes were too bright, and the firelight was reflected in his eyes, burning.
"Yan Suizhi, don't stare at me like that." She whispered.
"Meimei, please don't do this in the future, okay? It's too dangerous. Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, I was scared to death just by hearing others tell me about it." Yan Suizhi said hurriedly.
Lord Yan, who was always calm and composed and knew when to act, was thrown into confusion.
Xie Wanyun couldn't help but let a faint smile appear on the corner of his lips.
Yan Suizhi said anxiously: "Don't laugh, I'm serious, Meimei, think about Jinbai, think about..." His words stopped abruptly.
"What are you thinking about?" Xie Wanyun asked.
Yan Suizhi blushed and shook his head. "Never mind. Anyway, don't do this again. You just accepted Jin Bai. Don't you want to watch him grow up? Don't be so reckless in the future."
"I understand. I'll pay attention. I'm going back to my room now. You should go back soon too."
Yan Suizhi knew that she didn't listen to his words. He could only say helplessly: "Go, remember my words, think about Jin Bai."
His voice was so gentle that it seemed to be dripping with water.
“…”
Xie Wanyun wanted to ask how Jin Bai was doing, but was worried that someone would see them if they stayed there for too long, so he just responded softly and quickened his pace.
