"How could I possibly rest easy letting you wander off alone? If something unexpected happened to you, how could I bear the responsibility?" Bai Fengyu secretly regretted his words and tried to make amends, "If your disappearance leads to a war between two nations, wouldn't we both become sinners?"
"As a Commandery Princess bestowed only as a temporary honor, who would care about my whereabouts?" Zuo Xiangning said with a bitter smile, "As for my family, I will explain to them myself."
Bai Fengyu looked at Zuo Xiangning for a while and then nodded, "Alright. I promise you, if conditions allow, you can leave at any time."
"It's a deal!" Zuo Xiangning happily descended the mountain.
From a distance, she saw Zuo Xiangyu talking to the Fifth Prince by the carriage, with three maidservants and the coachman standing not too far away.
Zuo Xiangning looked around and noticed no sign of Zuo Zixi.
Just as she was wondering about this, she saw Gu Zhiqing climbing up the stairs toward her.
