Just as they were about to go out, the weather, which had been drizzling, suddenly cleared up. However, Yu Chenfeng's face was gloomy. He held Shu Jiaying tightly in his arms, and his expression looked as if Shu Jiaying would disappear if she moved even half a step away from him.
After the carriage arrived, the two of them snuggled up to each other and sat on it. With the driver's quickening of the horse's whistle, they arrived at the palace in just over ten minutes, which would have taken them half an hour.
From the affairs of the harem to the preparations for the ceremony arranged not far from the imperial palace, these were basically all under the responsibility of Yu Chenfeng.
Yu Chenfeng was very worried that something would happen to Shu Jiaying if she left him, so no matter what he did throughout the day, he would take Shu Jiaying with him.
Afraid that Shu Jiaying would feel bored, Yu Chenfeng would ask for her opinion from time to time.
"Do you think there's anything else that needs to be improved on this sacrificial stage?"
Shu Jiaying glanced at the river behind the palace, then at the stage built in the water. She asked seriously, "Achen, did you deliberately have this stage built in this position? It's okay that the four legs of the stage are in the water, but the problem is that they're rotten. I don't think it can withstand people tossing and turning on it, right?"
Yu Chenfeng smiled bitterly.
"This is what the high priest meant."
"Then I understand. Everything you do is under the instructions of the High Priest. What can I say?"
Feeling bored, Shu Jiaying looked around Luo River.
At this time, apart from some guards, the rest working on the banks of the Luo River were eunuchs of lower status in the palace, and those eunuchs also did the work of moving and lifting.
Shu Jiaying didn't want to stay here anymore. She took Yu Chenfeng's hand and said coquettishly, "Achen, it's really boring here. Can I take a walk around?"
"No, you're pregnant now, how can you walk around?"
Shu Jiaying couldn't help but giggle.
"Being pregnant doesn't mean I'm seriously ill. Many of the women in Guangming Village are pregnant, but they don't have to work in the fields either. I'm fine!"
"That won't work either. What if I can't see you, you..."
"Achen, if you keep doing this I'll get angry. I really want to get some fresh air, and I'm just going to walk around. I won't run far, so don't worry, okay?"
Seeing Shu Jiaying's cheeks puffed up, Yu Chenfeng could only compromise and said, "Okay, don't go too far. I'll be really worried if I can't find you."
Shu Jiaying pointed to the sky and assured, "Don't worry, I will never let anything happen to me, because I still have you."
“You…”
Knowing that Yu Chenfeng agreed, Shu Jiaying smiled and left his side.
In fact, Shu Jiaying seemed to be just strolling along the bank of the Luo River, but in fact, she was carefully observing the surrounding terrain, because she had an idea in her mind that if conditions permitted, she would try her best to rescue Shu Zhenmeng.
Trying hard to remember every bit of what she saw, Shu Jiaying secretly planned in her mind. She felt that she should be able to succeed tonight. As long as she could successfully escape, everything would be fine.
After seeing what she wanted to see, Shu Jiaying returned to Yu Chenfeng. She even said in a deliberately cute way, "See, I said I was just taking a walk, didn't I lie?"
Yu Chenfeng had an apologetic look on his face and he tapped Shu Jiaying's nose.
"No, I just wronged you, but I believe that after tonight, everything will be fine tomorrow."
