When Chu Qingxuan finished packing her things and was about to leave, she couldn't bring herself to take a step.
Chu Qingxuan looked down and saw that Yue Li was holding her leg, preventing her from leaving.
"Yue Li, what are you doing?"
Yue Li bit her lip, looked up at Chu Qingxuan with a tearful expression, and said, "Young Master, you can't go out."
Chu Qingxuan reached out to pry Yue Li's hand away, but Yue Li was too strong, so Chu Qingxuan finally gave up. Helplessly, she asked, "Tell me, what do you want me to do to let me leave?"
Yue Li clung tightly to Chu Qingxuan's leg, refusing to listen to reason. "Even if I die, I will not let you leave the palace."
Chu Qingxuan frowned. Why was this child so stubborn?
She crouched down to be at eye level with Yue Li, and then asked, "Did Shangguan Li tell you to do this?"
Under Chu Qingxuan's sharp gaze, Yue Li nodded slightly, then quickly shook her head vigorously, avoiding Chu Qingxuan's gaze.
Upon seeing this, Chu Qingxuan immediately understood everything.
Shangguan Li had previously said that she was not allowed to come along on this trip south.
Shangguan Li had calculated that Chu Qingxuan was not an obedient person, so he used Yue Li to stop Chu Qingxuan.
"Yue Li, are you Shangguan Li's person, or mine?" Chu Qingxuan asked Yue Li softly.
Yue Li answered without hesitation, "Of course, he belongs to the young master!"
"In that case, I'm heading south, and you're not allowed to come with me."
Yue Li bit her lip, "But... if you do this, the Prince will be angry. He said he won't let you leave the Prince's mansion."
"I won't tell him."
As she spoke, Chu Qingxuan stood up, and by the time Yue Li reacted, Chu Qingxuan had already vanished.
He was fooled by the young master!
Chu Qingxuan left the palace and followed Shangguan Li's entourage, keeping a distance but never leaving their side.
Chu Qingxuan thought she had disguised herself very well, but little did she know that Shangguan Li had already discovered her whereabouts.
"Your Highness, someone has been following us for quite some time. Should I go and take care of him?"
Bai Chen asked.
Shangguan Li slightly raised his hand, indicating that it was not necessary.
"No need, he probably means no harm. I'll go and check on him."
"yes!"
Shangguan Li jumped out of the post station. Bai Chen was about to leave the room when he saw Shangguan Li dragging someone in. He looked at the terrified Chu Qingxuan in shock.
"princess!"
Chu Qingxuan's feet touched the ground as she escaped from Shangguan Li's grasp, looking at him warily.
"Can't you be a little gentler?"
Just now, she was hiding in the shadows thinking about how to get into the post station when Shangguan Li suddenly appeared behind her. Then, Shangguan Li grabbed her clothes and flew up.
Having light-footed skills really makes a difference.
Shangguan Li said coldly, "No, I would like to ask the Princess Consort, why did you come here?"
Seeing that Shangguan Li was already angry, Chu Qingxuan coughed lightly and said, "I heard that the scenery here is nice, so I wanted to come and see it."
Shangguan Li looked at Chu Qingxuan with a deep gaze and said coolly, "I might have believed you before, but now that the Princess Consort says so, I don't believe you."
Chu Qingxuan sighed, realizing that the area had been flooded and was now a wasteland.
She looked up at Shangguan Li with her bright eyes, blinked, and whispered, "Can't I follow you?"
Shangguan Li: "..."
Something unusual must be going on. Shangguan Li coughed lightly and said, "Speak quickly if you have something to say, don't be petty."
Chu Qingxuan immediately became serious and said solemnly, "I want to go out and play."
