Chapter 312: Traced her eyebrows

Hu Jingguo came to meet Ying Lili in her chamber before leaving for Mount Jishi. Sheng Li had also reached there and seen them conversing with each other. Hu Jingguo stood up from the chair upon seeing him. "I thought of meeting her before leaving," Hu Jingguo stated. 

"Return as soon as possible. You are my only hope," Sheng Li affirmed. 

"I know. I will not disappoint you," Hu Jingguo confidently said. Sheng Li passed him a smile and told him to go to the barracks where Wang Hao was waiting for him. 

Hu Jingguo turned to go, but then halted at his place. He turned to face Sheng Li and hugged him tightly. "Nothing will happen to the Emperor. I will be back soon." He patted Sheng Li's back. Ying Lili smiled upon seeing how close the two had become. Hu Jingguo pulled himself back and walked away.
