"Tomorrow we return," he continued again making the woman in front of her frown. He knew his little sister very well. If his guess was right, perhaps his sister had run away from the kingdom again, riding a horse alone. The same as usual.
Sometimes he is surprised by his younger sister, her inherent behavior is no different from men, he who incidentally as her older brother often shakes his head at the behavior of his sister, Princess Li.
"I just arrived, Brother. Can't you accompany me to see this kingdom first?" said the woman, clinging to Prince Shen Zue's hand. Although her behavior tends to be similar to that of a boy, it doesn't mean that her spoiled attitude as a girl doesn't exist and that's what sometimes makes the Prince wonder.
"Come on, Brother."
"Just one day. Come on," the woman whined.
"Just one day," Prince Shen Zue replied.
"Yasshhh," said Princess Li while swinging one of the clenched hands, feeling very happy.
(Yaashhh is a term that Jia Li often uses when she is feeling happy. It can be interpreted as a pronoun for Okay, okay, hurray, and the like).
"Then book a room next to mine," said Prince Shen Zue who was immediately nodded by his younger sister.

The night is getting late, the sound of the animals is getting louder and louder. So cold, bone-chilling cold.
Fu Xie Lan suddenly woke up from her sleep, it felt like her body no longer felt weak and the dizziness and nausea that had been bothering her before were also gone.
Feeling completely refreshed, like someone who wakes up in the morning.
Looking around, her brow furrowed. The figure that usually entered her view was now nowhere to be found anywhere her eyes looked.
'"Where is he going?'" her monologue then lowered her legs off the bed. Slowly walked to the side of the window that seemed to be tightly closed.
The dress she wore before had been replaced with a new one. Not a men's clothes, but a white dress without any frills or embellishments. Just plain white.
Making her petite body look so pure and innocent.
The girl opened her bedroom window slowly, the moon did hang in the clear sky without the slightest cloud.
Trying to look down, She found no one.
She stretched out one hand, feeling the cold night breeze. Very cold, but she likes it.
She smiled slowly, closing her eyes. Relaxing her body, for a moment she felt like she was living alone in this world, without any burdens and any problems.
"Enjoying it?" a voice suddenly came from behind her, it was Gu Yi and as usual, the man hugged her without a word.
Fu Xie Lan lowered her hand, opened her eyes, and turned her head slightly to see the face of the man behind her.
"Are you done with your affairs?" asked Fu Xie Lan quietly.
Gu Yi was stunned to hear the girl's question, but only for a few seconds, and then chuckled.
"Em... Were you waiting for me?" replied the man.
"I just woke up," said Fu Xie Lan. She deliberately didn't ask 'From where?' or 'Where he go?' because she knew that the man who was now her husband had his affairs. Yes, affairs that she probably shouldn't know too.
This is just Fu Xie Lan's guess because the man often disappears without news, and often he returns with the smell of blood on his body. That's what made her think like that. Call it that Fu Xie Lan was trying to understand the man.
Suddenly a knock on the door sounded so loud that the two figures immediately turned to the source of the sound.
Fu Xie Lan wanted to leave but was restrained by Gu Yi.
"Just let me open the door, Queen," he said.
The man opened the door and met Wan Lie there.
Gu Yi looked at the figure in front of the room with one eyebrow raised.
"You know? You shouldn't have disturbed your daddy's first night," Gu Yi said in a slightly lowered voice. Of course, he was very upset with Wan Lie, he had not done anything with his wife and his son had come to disturb him.
"Who?" Fu Xie Lan drew closer towards the door.
"Wan Lie, it's me Wan Lie," said the young man. He didn't want to bother his parents, but he had to do it for a reason.
"What's going on?" asked Fu Xie Lan, at that time she was already next to Gu Yi who was standing behind the door.
"It's about Hao," said Wan Lie
Fu Xie Lan looked around for a moment, then looked at the young man again. "Come in," she said then gave the young man space to enter the room.
"But Xie Lan..." Gu Yi protested but immediately stopped his sentence because his son was already in the room. The movement is so fast, and in the end, he just sighed, massaged his painless forehead while he closed the door tightly, creating a barrier so no one could hear their conversation.
"Stay where you are, don't try to get any closer," said Gu Yi warning Wan Lie not to approach Fu Xie Lan.
Of course, the young man complied with a sullen face. Can't his father give him a day's freedom to be closer to his mother?
"What do you want to say?" asked Fu Xie Lan landing her body on the bed with her eyes not leaving Wan Lie who was standing on the side of the wall of the room right in front of her.
As for Gu Yi, the man sat right next to Fu Xie Lan.
Wan Lie who saw his father's attitude just rolled his eyes in embarrassment and didn't immediately answer Fu Xie Lan's question.
"I feel Hao weaken, Mom," Wan Lie said after a few seconds of silence.
Gu Yi who heard the young man, rooted to the spot. He wanted to speak but seeing Fu Xie Lan's expression, which seemed normal, made him give up.
"Since when?" the girl asked.
"I'm not very clear Mom, it's just that I only noticed it earlier when I just entered the room," Wan Lie replied.
"Bring it here," asked Fu Xie Lan stretched out both her hands, asking for Hao who was curled up in the young man's arms.
Of course, Wan Lie approached and gave the little furry creature to his mother.
However, Gu Yi's figure suddenly stood up and blocked him.
"No," said the man.
"Let me take the place of Fu Xie Lan," added Gu Yi, immediately grabbing the hairy creature's tiny body.
Wan Lie could help but see his father's attitude towards him.
Although he wanted to be angry, after all the man in front of him was his father.
After handing over Hao….. no, but rather snatched by his father, Wan Lie walked over to the chair in the room and sat there. He looks at the two figures in front of him.
