With a hint of trepidation and anticipation, Xiao Yiyun gladly accepted the invitation to attend this grand and solemn palace banquet.

In the magnificent palace, the lights are on, people are everywhere, and there is a mysterious and majestic atmosphere.

He was dressed in a gorgeous robe, with an upright posture, and walked slowly into the banquet hall like a handsome jade tree. Every step he took seemed to bring a breeze to everyone's hearts.

During the dinner, everyone was toasting each other and laughing.

Xiao Yiyu seemed exceptionally calm, his eyes moving around, keenly capturing all the movements around him.

This time he stepped into the royal palace of the Eastern Kingdom, he had an unshakable and unyielding goal in mind.

His eyes seemed to be scanning the surroundings casually, but in fact every slightest change could not escape his sharp eyes like a hawk.

Time passed by minute by minute, but he was not impatient at all. He just waited silently for the opportunity that would allow him to achieve his goal.

Finally, when the figure that had been haunting him and was so familiar to him slowly stood up and left the table, he left the bustling banquet hall quietly like an agile cheetah.

No one noticed his departure, as if he had never been there.

He finally found an opportunity to meet Qin Rubing away from everyone's sight.

Qin Rubing, whom he had been thinking about day and night, stood there, graceful and elegant, like an orchid blooming in a valley, exuding charming fragrance.

The two smiled at each other, their eyes full of tacit understanding.

Xiao Yiyun whispered: "The situation is complicated now, we need to act carefully."

Qin Rubing nodded slightly to show that she understood.

She leaned slightly closer to Xiao Yiyun and whispered, "I have received news that someone is trying to tamper with the palace banquet."

Xiao Yiyun frowned slightly, "Do you know who did it?"

Qin Rubing said coldly: "It has not been investigated yet, but it is definitely related to Chu Tianxing."

"Rubing, come with me, let's go to the Southern Country." Xiao Yiyu said with anticipation.

Qin Rubing shook her head indifferently. She still had a task to complete.

The Southern Kingdom needs a wise ruler, and so does the Eastern Kingdom.

"If you are willing, I can also give up the throne and travel around the world with you." Xiao Yiyu said seriously.

"No." Qin Rubing stopped him, "The Southern Kingdom needs a wise ruler like you."

Xiao Yiyun held Qin Rubing's hand and said affectionately: "In my heart, nothing is more important than you."

Qin Rubing's eyes flickered, as if she was touched, but she quickly regained her composure.

"Yiyun, I can't be so selfish as to ask you to give up everything for me. We both have responsibilities that we can't give up easily."

Xiao Yiyun sighed softly, "I understand, but I will always wait for you. No matter when and where, as long as you need me, I will be by your side."

Xiao Yiyun wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Qin Rubing:

"Xiao Yiyun, our identities mean that we cannot be together. You are the emperor of the Southern Kingdom, and I am the crown princess of the Eastern Kingdom. There are too many obstacles and responsibilities between us."

After Qin Rubing finished speaking, she turned and left, leaving Xiao Yiyun standing there alone, feeling lost and helpless.

However, Xiao Yiyun did not intend to give up.

He decided to secretly investigate whether there was some kind of conspiracy between the Eastern Kingdom and the Southern Kingdom, and why Qin Rubing was so determined.

What does she mean by "responsibility"?

In the following days, Xiao Yiyun sent his trusted people to collect intelligence, while also closely watching Qin Rubing's every move.
