Early the next morning, Xiaoru heard what the people in the palace were talking about. But when she asked, they remained silent and refused to answer. Xiaoru felt even more strange.
"Xinxin, can you tell me what's going on?" Xiaoru asked Xinxin tentatively while Xinxin was waiting for her to dress up alone.
"Miss, you'd better not know." Xinxin still tied a flower bun for her.
In the morning of this morning, Shangguan Yi had also read out the imperial edict: to confer Wang Xiaoru the title of Princess Qianhe, and to go to Kihara to get married ten days later.
After a leisurely ride on horseback, they finally arrived at Netherworld Valley in two days.
The previously ruined valley was now prosperous, and those coquettish poisonous flowers were still blooming as beautifully as ever. At first glance, who would know that this place was once littered with corpses
Shangguan Yi took Xiaoru and flew to the bamboo house. Although no one has lived there for more than half a year, except for a lot of dust, there are no other major problems.
Xiaoru came to the study room. The tip of the brush had hardened and there was still some ink stain left. The books on the bookshelf were still neat. Xiaoru selected a few medical books and exited.
"Xiaoru, let's go. How about we go to the grassland where we rode horses last time?" Shangguan Yi showed rare tenderness, but Xiaoru just wanted to stay here for a while.
Xiaoru held a medical book and sat on the guardrail beside the corridor, all her thoughts focused on the book. Just like when I lived with Yinger and the others a few months ago. Shangguan Yi could only take a bamboo chair and sit next to her.
"Your Majesty, please go back first. There are still many things for you to deal with. I want to live here alone for a while." Xiaoru closed the book and looked at the sunshine outside.
"Xiaoru, are you blaming me for sending you to get married?" Shangguan Yi couldn't sit still anymore and stood up, "I know you will complain. But, don't you understand?"
"Understand what? It doesn't matter. I don't care what kind of fate I will have. Now that I can help Xue'er and you, it can be considered that I have repaid Shangguan's father and Ying'er's mother for taking them in."
"Xiaoru, do you really not understand? Actually, I..." Before Shangguan Yi could finish speaking, Xiaoru interrupted him rudely.
"I don't want to talk about these issues."
How could Xiaoru not know what Shangguan Yi was thinking? He abolished the queen out of anger for her, he grounded Concubine Xiao for her, and he even stopped looking for other concubines for her.
But her heart was not with him, so what if he said it, it would only increase the embarrassment between the two of them.
"No, no matter what, I want you to understand that I like you." Shangguan Yi stubbornly wanted to finish the sentence. After saying this, he returned to the palace, leaving his best secret guards to protect her.
"Miss, it's snowing outside." It started snowing not long after coming here.
When Xinxin entered the living room, Xiaoru was sitting there reading a book, which was a book about disguise.
"Miss, don't read all the time. It's bad for your eyes. Let's go out and enjoy learning." Xinxin pulled Xiaoru out without any explanation, and the book in Xiaoru's hand fell to the ground.
This valley may be located deep in the mountains, so it is colder than outside and the snow comes earlier.
After staying like this for a few days, Shangguan Yi came to pick up Xiaoru with a guard of honor.
Xiaoru got up earlier than before. When she opened the window to get some air, she seemed to see that there was still light in the study. Is it Xinxin? The book she dropped on the ground that day disappeared. Did she take it
Xiaoru was going to the study to find out.
