The nightmare from four years ago seemed to have begun once more.
"Your majesty, it's getting late and Princess Bei Yue has a weak body. Why not let her go back and rest?"
The Empress walked up and softly exclaimed. Under the elegant makeup, no one saw how pale her face was.
"Yes, it's getting late. But I don't want Bei Yue to go back alone." The Emperor raised his head and looked around in a circle, his gaze landed on the Crown Prince. "Zhan Ye…."
"Emperor." Xiao Yao Wang suddenly voiced his opinion stopping the Emperor from this foolish decision. How can he let the Crown Prince take Princess Bei Yue back?
If the Crown Prince actually did so, who knows how many people are going to talk behind Princess Bei Yue's back about this? They would say that she isn't worthy of respect. In the Empress and Crown Prince's heart, they wouldn't be happy with Huang Bei Yue.
He didn't want her at such a young age to offend all these important figures already.
"Well, this minister is planning to leave the palace right now. How about letting this minister protect Princess Bei Yue on the journey back home?"
The Emperor also realized that making the Crown Prince do so wasn't the best decision. Since Xiao Yao Wang offered, the Emperor granted him permission.
Huang Bei Yue thanked the Emperor and sighed in her heart. The Emperor's action almost scared her.
But then again, it was probably because they are related by blood. The impression that the Emperor gave her was pretty good. From her childhood memories, she could see that the Emperor really loves Huang Bei Yue.
To these types of people, she will do her best to repay them back!
After leaving the palace, it was the same as when they had come here. She was in the same horse carriage as Xiao Yun. However this time Xiao Yun didn't seem to be as arrogant anymore and didn't brag to her about this or about that.
The atmosphere within the horse carriage was very quiet. Huang Bei Yue closed her eyes to rest. Xiao Yun looked at her and in her heart, she wanted to kill her so badly! When she thought about how angry the Emperor was, she halted that thought.
"Third sister, did you sleep?" Xiao Yun probed.
Today she didn't complain to the Emperor. This led Xiao Yun to be very confused. Is she that dumb?
It didn't seem so. The Huang Bei Yue now didn't look like the weak and stupid girl! There was a feeling of uneasiness in her heart but she couldn't explain the cause of it.
"No." Huang Bei Yue bluntly replied, not opening her eyes.
After today's events, she also knew that Xiao Yun not only inherited the bloodline of Xiao Yuan Cheng's father's summoning skills, but also his cleverness.
What she said today led Huang Bei Yue to see her in another light. She would never have thought how detailed Xiao Yun's mind was. She's the type to not act carelessly during times of danger.
Xiao Zhong Qi during that time most likely would've been scared to the same extent as Xiao Yuan Cheng. Xiao Ling, of course, was even more terrified.
Xiao Yun forced a smile, saying: "After a couple days, you're going to begin school at Ying Yang College. Even though you don't need to take the admissions test to get into the school, you should still buy some school materials. I will let my mom bring you some."
She is obviously trying to please Huang Bei Yue in order to let Xiao Yao Wang help her refine Marrow Cleansing Pill and also because the Emperor's anger had scared her.
"Okay." Huang Bei Yue didn't refuse. They're using her money so why not?
She agreed but that doesn't mean she owed them anything! That also doesn't mean she will help Xiao Yun.
Seeing that she accepted, Xiao Yun felt a little better. It looked like, Huang Bei Yue is really grateful that Xiao Yun's mother sent her medicine every day.
In the entire Princess Zhang's Prefecture, only Xiao Yun's mother was slightly nicer to her. It would be weird if Huang Bei Yue isn't grateful to her!
Thinking up to here, Xiao Yun's doubts diminished.
