He Ruojin whispered: "Will Ling'er fall asleep?"
Sheng Zhiyu just remained silent for a moment and then said: "Open the door first."
Hearing this, Luo Yi had no choice but to respond and force the door open.
There was no one in the room.
Sheng Ling was not there.
"Has Ling'er gone out?" He Ruochen walked around the room and asked Luo Yi.
Luo Yi shook his head dejectedly and said: "No, the doctor told the princess not to go out to see the light during this period, and the princess agreed obediently. I think the princess stayed in the house all day and never went out. The princess can't be You must have run out in the middle of the night..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Yi's heart skipped a beat and he didn't dare to say any more.
But I don’t understand what the princess is doing when she goes out...
He Ruojin looked around the room again without giving up, and finally saw Sheng Zhiyu standing in front of the table, seemingly reading a letter.
He Ruojin had a bad premonition in his heart, so he walked over bravely, not wanting to believe it, but he had to ask softly: "Your Majesty, is it Ling'er's letter?"
Sheng Zhiyu nodded, showed him the letter, frowned and said, "Ling'er is going back first."
There was nothing written in the letter, just a few words, saying that she was going back to Beicheng first and asked them not to worry.
Sheng Zhiyu didn't look good, because he knew that Sheng Ling had been well-behaved and sensible since he was a child, which was very reassuring. Sheng Ling didn't seem like someone who would do such worrying things.
The only possibility is that something happened to Sheng Ling himself.
He Ruojin sat down slowly and read the letter many times, over and over again, as if she couldn't get enough.
He seemed to be repeatedly confirming the content of the letter and making sure that he had read it correctly.
Sheng Zhiyu looked at him, then frowned and turned to ask Luo Yi, "Did anything happen to Ling'er these past two days?"
Luo Yi looked confused, shook his head and said, "No, the princess has been in a good mood these past two days."
As he was talking, He Ruojin suddenly folded the letter carefully, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I want to... rush back to Beicheng overnight."
Sheng Zhiyu frowned and said, "No, you stay with the army to rest while I go find Ling'er."
He had repeatedly promised Xi Li in the letter that he would bring their daughter back safe and sound, so how could anything happen to Sheng Ling at this juncture
"No." He Ruojin said and knelt down in front of Sheng Zhiyu, "Please agree, Your Majesty, I really can't worry about the princess."
Finally, Sheng Zhiyu agreed to He Ruoxin and took only a few people with him back to Beicheng, letting Sheng's army rest and then be led back to the city by the deputy general.
Sheng Zhiyu and the others finally returned to Beicheng before the year before.
Because they were in a hurry all the way, they were all covered in wind and frost when they returned to the city.
After Ji Xili got the news, he left the palace early and waited outside the city to wait for Sheng Zhiyu to return, regardless of the freezing weather.
The He family was the same, waiting outside the city very early.
When the sound of horse hoofbeats came, Ji Xili saw the shadow of the army in the distance. She was so happy that she couldn't wait any longer. She couldn't wait to get on the horse and ran towards the distance.
She was riding very fast, and not long after she saw Sheng Zhiyu, she called him loudly, and Sheng Zhiyu heard the sound and saw that it was Ji Xili coming on horseback, so he immediately sped up and ran over.
Their two horses were originally a pair, but now they met and almost bumped into each other.
Sheng Zhiyu reined in his horse first, and Ji Xili also stopped. Then he saw Sheng Zhiyu, who was covered in frost and snow, panting and getting off his horse, and lectured her: "Get down quickly!"
Ji Xili was as happy as a flower when she saw him, and she jumped down obediently and fell into his arms.
