Thus, the discussion about whether Lanqin would travel back in time came to an end, and life in the Yuanmingyuan returned to normal. Apart from the Fourth Prince occasionally asking about things in the 21st century and the summer sun growing increasingly scorching, nothing else changed because they knew Lanqin was a modern person.
At this time, Prince Bao's Mansion also welcomed a farewell. Pichu, who came from the grasslands, could no longer get used to staying in these red gates and high walls. He thought about it for a long time and finally made up his mind to come and say goodbye to Xueying.
When Yukisakura rescued Pichu during that war, she knew this would happen.
Pichu, a wild and untamed creature from the vast grasslands, arrived in this bustling capital city. At first, he was captivated by the city's splendor, but soon he found himself bewildered by its rules and regulations.
Having grown accustomed to a free and unrestrained life, Pichu found himself completely unsuited to this life in the capital after spending some time there. Confined within high walls every day, he had no idea what to do.
"Consort, Pichu is here to see you," A'luo said to Xueying, who was painting, as she entered the room.
Xueying put down her pen, tidied herself up, and walked out of her desk, saying, "Bring him in."
"Yes." After saying that, Aro turned and went out, and soon brought Pichu back in.
"Greetings, Master." Pichu has learned to bow since arriving here, but it still looks a little awkward.
Xueying waved her hand and said, "Get up."
However, upon hearing Xueying's words, Pichu did not stand up but suddenly knelt down, which surprised both Xueying and Aro beside her.
Xueying asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's wrong with you? Why are you kneeling down?"
Xueying said, "Master, I'm sorry. I want to go back. I want to go back to the Great Plains."
Before Xueying could speak, A'luo, who always protected her master, rebuked her, "You once said you wanted to be your master's servant for life. How long has it been? You've already gone back on your word. Your master has always treated you well, yet you are so ungrateful."
"I……"
"A-Luo," Xueying said, glancing at A-Luo from the side.
Actually, there was no need to ask Pichu; Xueying already knew why he wanted to leave. She also knew that he had thought about it for a long time before coming here to say these words. So she slowly said, "You, a grassland native, are indeed not used to staying in this secluded mansion."
"I can give you some silver. Take it back and settle down properly. If you can't survive, you can come back for help."
“Master…” A’Luo hurriedly spoke upon hearing Xueying’s words, but before she could finish, Xueying glared at her, signaling her not to continue.
Pichu, still kneeling before Xueying, choked up and said, "Originally, I was supposed to be the master's servant in this life, but now that I'm going to betray my master, how can I still accept my master's money?"
Xueying said slowly, "You were born free, you belong to the grasslands, you belong to yourself. The constraints of the capital city are not suitable for you, so go back."
Xueying sighed softly and continued, "I saved you back then not for your reward. Now that you've grown up and can support yourself, go."
"Thank you, Master." After hearing Xueying's words, Pichu kowtowed to Xueying several times.
"Get up, there's no need to kneel." Then he turned to the maid beside him and said, "Prepare some travel expenses and a horse for him."
So Pichu followed the maid downstairs, leaving the Prince Bao's mansion and the capital city.
