Gu Yang lowered his head to see Princess Chang staring intently at him, her eyes as gentle as water. He immediately showed an awkward but polite smile, and said, "You're awake."
"You're fine."
Her lips were pale, somewhat cracked. The moment she opened her mouth, her voice was weak, devoid of the dominance she embodied during their previous encounter.
With those words, she broke free from Gu Yang's arms, took off a pendant from around her neck and forced it into his hand, while gently scratching his palm.
"I will come back for you."
Princess Chang left him with a charming smile, then turned around and left.
A palace maid who had been waiting nearby draped a red cloak over her.
Suddenly, she transformed back to the original, haughty princess and instructed, "To the palace."
Gu Yang lowered his head and saw in his hand a seal of the Nine States, which still carried her body heat.
Once he got the seal from the jailer in the celestial prison, he would have four seals.
