Xin Li's entourage was the first group to come out from Yun Li forest. However, there wasn't any one of them who was smiling, only gloominess covered the entire entourage. The entourage advanced in high-speed towards the campsite unlike how they went out.
In front of the entourage, the Emperor was leading a carriage that had not gone in the forest with them in the beginning. As everyone watched, they were slightly puzzled. Had the Empress joined the Emperor along the way?
When the people at the campsite saw a glimpse of the Emperor's expression closely, they could see that the Emperor's face was like a brewing wind before a storm. Those deep black eyes looked as if they could explode a hurricane anytime. Moreover, everyone else didn't have a better expression and they all looked like they had lost their spirits.
One thing after this chapter, I can foresee the hate befalling on the Emperor's head rn heh. Another thing to think of...would Hui Lan really kill the Emperor after this tho...aiya he better be careful.
Edit: I accidentally published this before the scheduled time, so surprise hehe, see you tmr noon (GMT+7)
