Sister, you traveled through time too?

Xia Jie actually couldn't explain why, and he didn't understand why he wanted to go back so badly.

But the feeling in his heart grew stronger and stronger.

What made him feel even more surprised was that the messenger who would deliver the message every seven days or so was nowhere to be found.

The end of the year was approaching, and there was still no imperial edict from the imperial city asking him to return and report on his work.

He had no right to return without being summoned, but he packed his bags and decided to go back to the imperial city alone.

Seeing this, Jiang Hao happily packed his luggage and decided to go along.

The two set out very early and were on the road at daybreak.

I had just walked a short distance when someone quickly caught up with me.

"Young General! Young General, please stay!"

The man shouted.

Xia Jie tightened the reins and stopped. Not many people in the army called him "little general". Only those around his father called him that.

When the man came closer, Xia Jie recognized that he was the unknown deputy general beside his father.

"Why did Deputy General Liu stop me?"

Xia Jie asked in a normal tone.

Upon hearing this, Deputy General Liu looked at Jiang Hao who was beside Xia Jie, hesitant to speak.

Suddenly, Xia Jie frowned and said:

"How dare you! Captain Jiang is one of us, and is also your Highness's confidant. Is there anything you can't say?"

Lieutenant General Liu then nodded and carefully took out a black cloth bag from his arms.

"The old general asked me to hand this item over to the general."

"The old general said that you must personally present this item to His Highness."

After Lieutenant General Liu finished his instructions, he saluted and left.

The black cloth bag was held in Xia Jie's hand.

At that moment, Xia Jie felt that the wind was so strong that it made his eyes inexplicably sore.

Jiang Hao did not say anything, nor did he ask what was in the bag. He just followed Xia Jie silently and rushed to the imperial city.

Xia Jie didn't even open the bag. He knew what was inside without even opening it.

He was too familiar with it; this was the fate of the entire Xia family.

His father didn't know why he wanted to go back to the imperial city. His father just wanted his wolf cub to be safe no matter where he went.

The imperial city is like a den of dragons and tigers. My father handed over this item because he wanted Your Highness to protect him.

Keep yourself safe.

I also want to tell Your Highness that everyone in the Xia family is loyal.

Xia Jie was running at full speed, holding the black cloth bag close to his chest.

But the things in the bag seemed to be heating up, making Xia Jie feel hot and uncomfortable.

The endless snow-capped mountains in the distance and the never-ending falling snow in front of us seemed no longer cold.

……

【Imperial Palace】

Xiao Yun'er was very sleepy, but she couldn't close her eyes.

Whenever she recalled Cui Ling's tragic death, she was still horrified.

She didn't know what had happened to Xiaoyu, or whether he was still suffering.

Xiao Yun'er hasn't closed her eyes for several days. As soon as she closes her eyes, endless nightmares are waiting for her.

She was tied up on the couch. There was a warm heating in the room, but she felt as cold as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

The room is magnificent, and contains countless rare gadgets and a wide range of ornaments.

This was the palace that Hu Che carefully prepared for her.

Xiao Yun'er could see the yard from the open window, where there were two huge banyan trees.

The banyan tree hangs down its beautiful branches, which are as dreamy as a swing and are covered with thick snow, which looks very beautiful.

But the more she stared at the two trees, the more ironic it seemed.

She remembered that in her favorite park as a child, there were two huge banyan trees with branches hanging down like swings, which were very beautiful.

She always loved going there.

She once blinked her starry eyes and naively told her brother that she wanted two banyan trees of the same size, one for her and one for him.

Later, when she grew up, she realized that there was no room for two trees that big in her home.

As she grew up, she gradually realized that many things cannot be obtained just by wanting them.

Now looking at the trees in the yard, she felt ironic and was powerless to struggle.

At first she would shout, scream, and struggle, but after being tied up for so long, she realized that no matter how much she struggled, it would be useless.

She just wanted to know how Xiaoyu was doing, whether the illness had recovered, and what the situation was.

She was too ashamed to face Xiaoyu, but she also wanted to see her.

Just then, the door opened.

A beam of light came in from outside, and standing at the door against the light was Hu Che.

Xiao Yun'er just felt unlucky and turned her head away without looking at him.

Hu Che ignored Xiao Yun'er's expression. He walked over with a smile and took out a bowl of sweet soup from the servant beside him.

It was the taste of fermented glutinous rice balls. Xiao Yun'er didn't say anything, but just frowned and controlled her sore eyes.

"I cooked your favorite fermented glutinous rice dumplings and added honey."

Hu Che sat next to Xiao Yun'er, his eyes and brows were gentle. He gently stirred the spoon and the fragrance filled the whole room.

Xiao Yun'er didn't say anything, but turned her head away and kept her mouth shut.

She fought with silence.

Hu Che just smiled, his tone coaxing a child:

"Alas, you are still as naughty as when you were a kid."

"It seems that you don't want to hear any news about her."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Che saw Xiao Yun'er suddenly turn her head.

He couldn't help but smile, and looking at his sister's angry eyes, he felt in a good mood.

"I'll tell you after I finish drinking it."

Hu Che gently scooped up a spoonful and brought it to Xiao Yuner's mouth.

Xiao Yun'er stared at Hu Che and drank the sweet soup in silence.

"She woke up, recovered from her illness, and knew everything that happened."

"She knows everything, including you, a liar."

Hu Che put down the bowl and spoke lightly.

Xiao Yun'er only felt her breathing stagnate, she even had difficulty breathing, her heart began to beat violently, and the panic made her at a loss as to what to do.

She must hate herself.

Xiao Yun'er thought so.

I was the one who deceived her. It was all my fault.

But she really didn't want to be hated. Inexplicably, she wanted Xiaoyu to not hate her.

Even if I never forgive her, I still pray that she won't hate me.

Xiao Yun'er was in a state of confusion, tears streaming down her face. She was silent for a long time before she dared to ask:

"Is she okay?"

Hu Che finally heard Xiao Yun'er speak, smiled slightly, and said:

"great."

"She's crazy."

The moment Xiao Yun'er heard these words, she instantly became excited and struggled hard.

"Asshole! Asshole!"

Xiao Yun'er cursed and screamed, wanting to kick Hu Che to death.

She couldn't imagine how desperate and devastated Xiaoyu must be. How could it be possible? How could it be possible?

How could she go crazy when she is so rational and strong?

Xiao Yun'er found it hard to accept this and was about to lose control.

She couldn't imagine what Hu Che had done or said to Xiaoyu to force her like that.

"Hu Che! I'll kill you!"

Xiao Yun'er screamed with red eyes, her heart ached so much that she couldn't breathe, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

She couldn't even speak completely anymore, she just cried like she was dying.

Xiaoyu, why are you crazy?
