บท 538: Leaving

When Jiang Yucheng arrived at Huayang Palace, Shangguan Wan was waiting for him. "Yucheng, you're here!"

As soon as she saw him, she happily went up to him, intending to give him a hug.

However, he backed away from her. "Greetings, Your Highness."

Shangguan Wan pouted in displeasure when she failed to hug him. "What are you doing?"

"We aren't married yet, so we shouldn't be meeting in private this late at night. We need to follow palace etiquette," he told her.

"Yucheng, this is Huayang Palace. There are no outsiders here, so you don't have to pay attention to those things. Besides, who will dare to stop me from doing whatever I want?" His reply made her burst into laughter as she reached out to grab his arm. What's there to be afraid of when the entire imperial palace is under my control?

Jiang Yucheng didn't push her hand away this time. He merely swept a nonchalant look at the palace maid next to her.
