Had she known that Xuan Shuang would leap out of the darkness and excitedly spread her arms to block Ning Xi'er's path...
Ning Xi'er only regretted not releasing Zheng Ye.
If Zheng Ye were here, he should have jumped up and given Xuan Shuang a good beating!
The horses neighed violently, and fearing that they would alert the sentries of the desolate region, Ning Xi'er couldn't hold them back and directly put the horses into her spatial storage.
Xuan Shuang excitedly stepped forward, showing no remorse whatsoever.
After calming down, Ning Xi'er asked, "How did you end up here?"
After all, she returned two days later than agreed.
Xuan Shuang remained excited, "His Highness instructed us to take turns guarding outside, waiting for your return..."
Ning Xi'er frowned slightly. Xie Zhun's calculations were so accurate?
Did you know she'd be back tonight?
Looking back, I realized I had misunderstood.
Xuan Shuang probably meant that Xie Zhun had been making them wait outside...
I waited for two days.
Ning Xi'er couldn't help but smile.
They also keenly realized that since Xuan Shuang and the others were able to sneak out, it meant that the supervisors and soldiers were not guarding them properly...
It shouldn't be too strict.
Ning Xi'er then asked, "How is everyone?"
Xuan Shuang was more lively than Xuan Feng, and seemed to have a lot to say, just waiting for Ning Xi'er to ask him.
Hearing Ning Xi'er ask this, he immediately beamed and began to speak:
"Everyone is well, but I'm worried about the Princess..."
The prince, too, practiced walking every day after the princess left, and the skin on his cane was chafed raw from using it...
The prince also had a poor appetite and ate very little, which worried Eunuch Xu, the Duke of Huguo, and his wife terribly...
Everyone is eagerly awaiting your return!
Ning Xi'er's lips curved into an even higher smile.
Knowing Xuan Shuang's characteristics, she tends to exaggerate when she speaks...
If you didn't know him, and Xie Zhun, you would really think Xie Zhun was a pampered baby who couldn't live without her...
Even so, as one approaches the gates of the desolate realm, one can still feel a sense of lightness within.
"Don't tell His Highness yet..."
Ning Xi'er gave her instructions and then disappeared.
Xuan Shuang disappeared into the darkness, circled around to the back, and returned to the tent next to the villager's house.
During the days Ning Xi'er was away, everyone stayed in the tent she left behind.
Oil lamps and candles were in extremely short supply, and the rest of the tents were completely dark...
Apart from Xie Zhun's.
The tent flap was slightly lifted, and Ning Xi'er slipped inside.
In the darkness, the person lying down suddenly opened their eyes, their pupils shining brighter than obsidian.
Xie Zhun didn't speak, but slowly sat up.
Seeing that he moved quickly and without any hindrance, Ning Xi'er couldn't help but feel happy.
It seems that Xuan Shuang wasn't exaggerating entirely; Xie Zhun did indeed practice diligently while she was away.
Ning Xi'er sat obediently in the corner, silent and quietly observing Xie Zhun.
Xie Zhun's eyes rippled slightly as he looked towards the tent entrance...
A gentle night breeze lightly lifted the tent flap...
Ning Xi'er clearly noticed that Xie Zhun seemed to feel a moment of disappointment.
A sudden glint of light appeared in his eyes, then abruptly disappeared...
Did he perhaps think that the wind had just blown up the curtains and that he had returned?
Indeed, that is true.
Xie Zhun was about to lie down when he suddenly saw a long, slender shadow outside the tent...
Ning Xi'er then saw that his upper body had sat up again, upright and proper.
Xie Zhun cleared his throat, and the figure indeed moved closer.
Xuan Shuang is truly outstanding!
Ning Xi'er told him not to tell Xie Zhun, so he went to find Xuan Feng and asked Xuan Feng to tell Xie Zhun.
Xuanfeng didn't come in to check and report as usual, but instead leaned against the tent entrance, speaking in a low voice:
"Your Highness, the Princess Consort has returned!"
Xie Zhun's pupils contracted slightly, and he abruptly threw off the blanket.
Before he could get up, he belatedly realized what was happening and sat back down on the mattress.
He placed his hands in fists on his knees, slowly lifted the bricks, and looked around the tent, examining every corner.
His lips were pressed tightly together, and his brows were slightly furrowed.
It seems like they are enduring something.
After Xuanfeng finished reporting, he wisely left.
They consciously retreated to a short distance to prevent anyone from appearing and disturbing the prince and princess.
Xie Zhun calmed himself and sat there for a long time, but there was no movement whatsoever...
Suddenly, she lifted her leg and crawled back under the covers.
Not only did he close his eyes, but he also pulled the blanket up to cover his face...
Don't show it to others either.
"hehe......"
Ning Xi'er suddenly chuckled. Why is this person suddenly acting so childish?
Despite clearly hearing her voice, Xie Zhun remained motionless, as if in a fit of pique.
Ning Xi'er approached, pulled the blanket down, revealing Xie Zhun's dark eyes and puffed-up face...
"Hahaha......"
Ning Xi'er laughed even harder.
Xie Zhun lay in the cup, feigning anger, his raised eyebrows making him look exceptionally handsome.
Ning Xi'er burst out laughing, lying face down on the blanket, unable to straighten up.
