When she reached “Feng Wu,” she wanted to take “her” hand.
But —
“Xiaowu” stared at her with cold eyes.
What?
Startled, Chaoge stumbled back.
She looked at “Feng Wu” in fright.
Meanwhile, “Feng Wu” glanced at her, before walking into Jun Linyuan’s tent.
Of course, this “Feng Wu” was in fact Jun Linyuan.
The real Feng Wu wanted to talk to Chaoge, but she had to maintain her image as Jun Linyuan. Hence, she had to walk into Jun Linyuan’s tent as well.
Soon, they disappeared through the doorway.
Chaoge was speechless.
She looked at the tent in confusion and astonishment.
She asked Qiuling, “What do you think happened to Xiaowu?”
Qiuling shook her head.
Chaoge rubbed her chin. “Is she mad at me because my level is higher than hers now?”
Qiuling rolled her eyes at her.
Chaoge said, “No, Xiaowu isn’t like that. In that case, is it because she’s in love?”
Qiuling looked confused.
Chaoge scratched her head. “Xiaowu has been telling us that she doesn’t like His Royal Highness, and never will, but now… Why is she like that now?”
Qiuling was speechless.
The more Chaoge spoke, the more scared she became. She was almost in tears when she said, “Qiuling, do you think we’ll still have Xiaowu by this time next year?”
Qiuling shook her head and found Chaoge a little ridiculous.
She yawned and went back to her tent.
“Qiuling, where are you going?” Chaoge asked.
“We’re setting off for the imperial capital tomorrow. It’ll be a tiresome journey. Miss Chaoge, get some rest.” Qiuling waved at her.
After knowing her mistress all these years, Qiuling believed that Feng Wu had to be doing this for a reason. Once she got what she wanted, she would be back to normal.
As for being in love with a man… Her mistress wouldn’t do such a thing.
The following day.
Before they set off, Emperor Wu sent Wang to get Jun Linyuan.
Feng Wu was woken up. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at Jun Linyuan. “I’m so sleepy. Make him go away…”
Jun Linyuan nodded and told Feng, “Send him away.”
“Wait!” Feng Wu jumped to her feet. “Does your father want to see you?”
Jun Linyuan nodded casually.
Feng Wu said, “Fine. I’ll go see him before he gets angry again.”
Jun Linyuan frowned and looked at Feng Wu. “You don’t have to go.”
Feng Wu said grumpily, “That’s Emperor Wu, the most prominent figure in the empire. You’re so careless.”
After quickly washing her face, Feng Wu was about to leave the tent. Jun Linyuan frowned and said, “Your hair is messy.”
Feng Wu asked, “How? It looks good to me.”
Jun Linyuan said, “The left side is higher.”
Feng Wu checked in the mirror and saw only the tiniest difference. She rolled her eyes at Jun Linyuan and said, “You’re so fussy.”
Jun Linyuan asked, “What did you say?”
Feng Wu said, “Never mind. You won’t understand. I’m off to see your father!”
After taking a few steps, she stopped abruptly and looked back at Jun Linyuan.
