For some reason, when Yin Su carefully helped her remove the strands of grass from her hair and buckled the clothes on his head one by one, that serious expression made Shuxi's mind suddenly recall what Eunuch An had told her a few days ago.

”Imperial Concubine Xi, hurry up and help the emperor birth a young prince. ”The way the people talk now is too unpleasant to listen to.”

”His Majesty is too busy. He deals with the affairs of the court every day and night. How can he have the time to care about the affairs of a girl?” Before you returned to the palace, the Emperor was not even close to a woman … ”

Thinking of the scene just now, her face reddened slightly. When she extended her hand out to him, her palms actually began to sweat a little. He pulled her hand, and with a single push, her body soared into the air and sat down in front of him in a comfortable position. He firmly held her in his arms.

The horse rode rather slowly, and the scenery on both sides was endless.

”Eunuch An should be anxious.” Shuxi casually said this in order to avoid an awkward silence.

”A Xi, how have you lived all these years? You can't even ride a horse. ”

”I'm in a place where I don't need to ride a horse.” Sixty percent knew the reason Yin Su asked this question, but she still wanted to know where she had disappeared to during these past few years. He did not trust her, and his eyes could not bear a grain of sand. Liu Xi wanted to explain this to him, but how could he do so? Would he believe it?

”What kind of place?”

”A very peaceful place is another world. There is no war there, no murder there. Everyone is free and equal. As long as you work hard, you can live without worry.”

”In the entire dynasty, I will do my best to give you this world, so no matter how good it is, A Xi, you must not go back.”

Yin Su hugged her tightly, his low voice gave her a sense of security.

She nodded slightly and did not give him this promise, because deep down in her heart, she wanted to go back to those days of peace.

At such a fast speed, Shuixi forcefully suppressed the panic in her heart and tightly pulled on Yin Su's clothes to prevent herself from falling down. The wind stung her eyes. She could only close her eyes and feel the wind.

Fortunately, his speed was quite fast. Before long, he could see the surrounding palaces. People were busily coming and going, and smoke was already rising from the kitchen.

Yin Su then slowed down his horse and slowly rode it back.

When Eunuch An heard the sound of the horses, he had long been waiting outside the manor compound to welcome them.

He walked up to the horse and bent his back 90 degrees, wanting the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine Xi to step on his back and dismount.

However, Yin Su completely ignored him. Embracing Sixxi, he leaped down from the horse's back, and landed safely.

Yin Su threw the rope to him.

”Get up.”

Only then did Eunuch An get up.

”Your servant has already tidied up the house. Your majesty and Empress should go take a rest first.”

He was leading the way ahead while Yin Su and Xia Xi were walking behind.

Although this palace was only used for hunting and living for a few days a year, it was managed by a special person. Thus, the environment was elegant and everything was in order. This house's eaves and interior were completely masculine, without a single trace of femininity. In fact, as long as it was something that Die Ye took, there would be as many things that she placed on it as she could, which showed that in the past few years, there hadn't been a single woman who had come here.

They had been rushing about for a long time and were a little tired now, so they slept soundly while hugging each other. When they woke up, the sun had already set outside the palace.

”Still tired?”

”Not tired.” Shuixi replied obediently.

The two of them then went to the outer room. Eunuch An had already prepared dinner for them to eat, and when he saw that they had arrived at the outer room, he hurriedly brought them in from the courtyard.

The two finished their meal. The sky was already completely dark, and the moon hung in the sky above the trees. The sky was filled with stars that shone brightly. The air here was refreshing, and at night, one could smell the fragrance of the earth.

Eunuch An reported to Yin Su while he instructed the palace maids to clean the dishes.

”Your majesty, Imperial Concubine Xi, the person in charge of this palace, Lord Shun, has built a bonfire outside in the grass. She has prepared some programs to invite the two of you to walk over.”

Yin Su looked at Shuxi, asking her if he should go over and take a look.

Shuxi nodded, ”I want to go.”

”Alright.”

The two of them had not even walked two steps before Yin Su came to a stop again. He returned to his room alone, took out his cape, and draped it over Sixxi's body.

”The cool of the night in the mountains.”

”Shuxi's heart warmed as she whispered to him …”

”Thank you.”

Lord Shun had also put in a lot of effort. The site was laid out on a flat grassland, with guards on both sides to ensure it was safe. The bonfire's crackling sounds were quite exuberant.

Before the program had even started, it had already created an extremely lively scene.

Perhaps because Yin Su's expression was not as grave as usual, the officials accompanying him and Master Song were not nervous, and could freely arrange things.
