The next day, when Su Ruojin woke up, the space beside her was empty. She reached out and touched it; the spot was already cold.
Hearing Su Ruojin get up, Yanluo hurried in to help her get out of bed.
"Miss, the Prince has gone to court."
"Hmm, have all the items been delivered to the Prince?" Su Ruojin asked.
"Yunniang sent it over yesterday." Yanluo carefully straightened Su Ruojin's clothes and draped a cloak over her shoulders.
"Master, Second Master, and Fifth Master are also on their way back to Great Chu. They should be arriving soon."
Su Ruojin had received Ye Xunzhi's letter before, and Xiaoyue had now settled down. They had already set off for Da Chu.
"I suppose Senior Ye and the others are still carrying Miss's body. That's good, they're all back, it'll make the New Year more lively," Yanluo said with a smile.
Su Ruojin knew that Yan Luo was right. She was due to give birth next month, and her master had said that he would stay by her side to put her mind at ease.
No one knows what might happen during childbirth. Ye Xunzhi wouldn't feel at ease without Xiao Jin by his side. If something were to happen, he would never forgive himself for the rest of his life.
"Master doesn't like crowds, so if he comes back, he'll definitely go back to Mu'an Village. But it's good that Fifth Master is willing to come to Great Chu with Master."
This can be considered as fulfilling one of the master's wishes.
I wonder if Fifth Master and First Master will return to Xiaoyue this time when they go back to Da Chu.
"Miss, let me help you walk in the corridor." Yanluo brought a hot water bottle for Su Ruojin to hold and warm her hands.
It's still snowing lightly outside, so it's not a good time to go out into the courtyard. Fortunately, the Prince's Mansion has many long corridors, so taking a walk along them is a good idea.
"good."
Even as she was nearing her due date, Su Ruojin made sure to take a walk every day without fail.
Walking down the corridor, Su Ruojin looked at the still gray sky and wondered, "I wonder how things are in the palace."
"Miss, don't worry, with the Prince here, there won't be any problems."

Inside the palace.
When Xiao Chenyi saw Xiao Yanchu suddenly appear in the court, his right eyelid twitched.
As the ruler of a country, he didn't even know that Xiao Yanchu had returned!
This means that he has no control over Xiao Yanchu's whereabouts at all.
So how much power does Xiao Yanchu still possess that he doesn't know about?
Didn't the King of Beili say he could kill Xiao Yanchu and Xiao Bingyi for him?
Now that Xiao Yanchu is back, what about Xiao Bingyi?
Xiao Yanchu returned safely from Bei Li. Could he have found out something?
Thinking about all this, Xiao Chenyi felt a chill run down his spine.
impossible.
impossible!
Xiao Yanchu couldn't possibly know anything. His agreement with the King of Beili was a secret, and no one else could possibly know about it except him.
As for Mo Han's matter, I was originally doing it for the good of Great Chu. Even if Xiao Yanchu disagreed, it can only be said that we have different ideas, and I can't blame him for anything.
Mo Han is now in the hands of the Northern Li people, and the deed is done.
If they were to forcibly take it back, it would certainly disrupt the peace that had just been established between Bei Li and Da Chu, plunging the two countries into war once again.
If Xiao Yanchu takes protecting the Great Chu as his responsibility, he certainly wouldn't dare to easily break this agreement.
As long as Mo Han remains in the hands of the Northern Li people, his agreement with the Northern Li King will still be in effect. He will then work with the Northern Li King to find a way to join forces against Xiao Yanchu.
With this in mind, Xiao Chenyi felt at ease.
