Yanluo tactfully withdrew, waving her hand to dismiss the other servants in the courtyard, leaving the young lady and the regent alone.
Looking at Su Ruojin like this, Xiao Yanchu smiled faintly and quickly stepped forward to hug the woman he had thought about day and night.
"Ah Jin, I miss you so much."
Only when she was pulled into a strong chest and smelled a familiar scent did Su Ruojin regain some consciousness.
Xiao Yanchu really came!
Without saying a word, Su Ruojin wrapped her arms around Xiao Yanchu's waist and buried her head in his chest.
She missed him just as much.
If the longing before was transformed into each stroke of the letter paper, now, embracing Xiao Yanchu, this long-standing yearning seemed to materialize and impact Su Ruojin's heart.
It was a bittersweet experience.
The sensation made her nose sting.
She realized for the first time what it felt like to miss someone—a bittersweet feeling, yet mixed with a sweetness she couldn't share with anyone else.
Even though the person is right in front of me, I still miss them so much.
At this moment, there was no sound in the room, only two beating hearts nestled together.
What brings you here?
"I came because I missed you," Xiao Yanchu said softly. He wasn't lying; Yun Hao had sent him a letter asking for help, and he could have easily sent Hu Qing over.
But after receiving the letter, he didn't hesitate and immediately led his troops over.
All the hardships of the journey vanished the moment he saw Su Ruojin.
"Ah Jin, let's get married when we get back. I'll never let you leave me again, not even for a day," Xiao Yanchu said, with a hint of childishness that he himself didn't realize.
Su Ruojin found it somewhat amusing. Although she had indeed been away for quite some time this time, it was only a month or so. Xiao Yanchu was making it sound like she had been gone for years.
However, she had no objection and replied softly, "Okay."
Suddenly, Xiao Yanchu felt a pain on his head. He reached out and grabbed a furry creature, which he pulled off his head.
Mao Mao bared its teeth at him and waved its little paws.
Xiao Yanchu had a bit of a headache; how could he have forgotten about this guy?
Su Ruojin smiled and took Mao Mao from Xiao Yanchu's hands. Mao Mao immediately snuggled into her arms and lay still, occasionally opening its eyes to peek at Xiao Yanchu with a hint of smugness in its eyes.
Ah Jin belongs to it!
Nobody can take it!
If it weren't for the fact that it was Ah Jin's pet, Xiao Yanchu would have really wanted to kick it out.
This eyesore!
Xiao Yanchu then told Su Ruojin everything.
Yun Hao had already written to Xiao Yanchu about his plan and requested his support.
After receiving Yun Hao's letter, Xiao Yanchu calculated the time and personally led his troops over.
Su Ruojin finally understood what Yun Hao's trump card was and why he was willing to believe in her regardless of everything.
The problem was actually with Xiao Yanchu.
Come to think of it, Yun Hao was just a prince who was out of favor and constrained at every turn. He had no maternal family to help him, so he couldn't possibly raise a private army like the eldest prince, nor did he have a maternal family to help him like the third prince.
All he can rely on is his "power".
Leverage existing momentum to become the ultimate winner.
As expected of a disciple of Qingyue Mountain!
Su Ruojin looked at Xiao Yanchu thoughtfully, "So, what is your request?"
Xiao Yanchu is both Yun Hao's senior brother and the regent of a country. She doesn't believe that Xiao Yanchu is only here out of friendship.
Xiao Yanchu smiled indulgently at Su Ruojin, "My Ajin is as smart as ever. I don't ask for much. After Yun Hao ascends the throne, we need to open up border trade with Da Chu, establish a border trading market, sign a hundred-year non-aggression pact with Da Chu, and make the Zhao family the royal merchants of Yun Qi."
In this way, Yunqi and Dachu will be at peace for at least a hundred years, the people can live and work in peace, border trade can be opened, and the people of Dachu and Yunqi can do business with each other, thus boosting the economy.
With the Zhao family now being recognized as imperial merchants, they would no longer face discrimination as before simply because they were a merchant family. With this connection, Su Ruojin could finally rest assured about the Zhao family.
Xiao Yanchu's plan was undeniably thorough.
"Let's go to the palace and take a look," Su Ruojin said, still somewhat worried.
Now that Xiao Yan has come to the Zhao residence, it means that everything in the palace is almost over.
