Zhang Qing sighed, "That scene just now must have scared you, right?"
Chuanwen didn't speak. She wasn't frightened just now, but her awe of life made her silent for a moment. She had seen many big scenes and even experienced life and death. Just now, Zhang Hui vomited blood, and a living person collapsed in front of her, which made her feel the fragility of human beings once again.
Zheng Yan could sense something was off about Chuanwen. She wasn't speaking now, so he assumed she was genuinely frightened by what had just happened, a hint of worry in her eyes.

Chuanwen asked a completely unrelated question, and Zhang Qing remained silent for a while before saying, "I should go back and sort this out."

Unable to hear Chuanwen's thoughts, Zhang Qing remained oblivious. Chuanwen bid them farewell, but before returning to the palace, he first went to Su Yue's residence in the capital.
Chuanwen had never been here before. Although she knew the exact location from the plot, it still took her a while to find the place, as she was a bit directionally challenged.
