Xie Xuanchen looked at the reluctant Mu Mingtang in front of him and sighed softly, “I’m going to chase Ye Luji, so I don’t know where I will go.”
Xu Qilang, who was standing next to Xie Xuanchen, had his eyes practically bulging the longer he stared. Wasn’t this a secret? Just now Xie Xuanchen had even reminded everyone with a cold face not to reveal their whereabouts.
Everyone looked at Xie Xuanchen with disbelief, but he was completely unbothered. He touched Mu Mingtang’s hair with his lightly armoured hand and said softly, “I’ll be back soon, don’t worry.”
Mu Mingtang’s heart started beating fast when she heard that he was going to chase Ye Luji. She could tell by looking at the situation of others that they were in a hurry and Xie Xuanchen had no time to waste. Therefore, she could only hold back her worry and said, “Don’t get hurt, I’ll wait for your return.”
Xie Xuanchen looked at her and smiled softly, “Okay.”
After saying that, everyone got on their horses one after another, obviously intending to set off. Xie Xuanchen didn’t move as he said to Mu Mingtang, “Go back first. It’s not safe for you to be alone after I leave.”
His posture indicated that he would not move until Mu Mingtang went back. Just at this time, 5th Madam Xu and the others came over. Xie Xuanchen saw Mu Mingtang enter the house with his own eyes before he got on his horse and chased the team that had been urged several times.
5th Madam Xu saw this scene as soon as she came out. She clicked her tongue and said, “Your Highness and the Prince have a really good relationship— almost like a newlywed couple. That idiot from my family left with him as well, but in the end he didn’t even have the time to tell me anything.”
Mu Mingtang was often teased and so she was used to it. She exhaled softly and said, “He always just leaves whenever he wants to, I’m so worried.”
5th Madam Xu’s teeth hurt when she heard this, so she deliberately smiled and said, “Hey, young couples like you are almost stuck together at this point seeing as how you two can’t be separated for even a day. Now it’s just the two of you, but what will happen when you have children in the future?”
Mu Mingtang blushed when she heard this, “It’s not like that.”
5th Madam Xu has been dancing with knives and spears since she was a child, which was why she had a carefree temper and speaks in a non-euphemistic manner. She came closer and asked quietly, “You have been married for almost 2 years, haven’t you? Do you two already have one then?”
Mu Mingtang’s face turned redder and redder, “No.”
“Not yet? Seems like His Highness’s hit rate is not very good— or did you two avoid it on purpose?”
Mu Mingtang blushed so much that she was speechless. 5th Madam Xu laughed loudly when she saw her face. 1s Madam Xu followed them and was confused when she saw the younger’s face, “What did the 5th younger sister say? Why is she laughing like this?”
5th Madam Xu laughed even louder. Mu Mingtang was embarrassed and moody. Knowing that she could not defeat these people, she quickly returned to his room.
The news that the Emperor ceded the 3 towns in the north caused an uproar and the people were indignant when they heard it. In fact, the Emperor regretted it after announcing it. However, by this time the envoy had already left the city with the imperial edict, so even if the Emperor wanted to chase him back, he had no other options.
