Chapter 208 Exploration
Yu Guiwan walked to an empty alley and stopped.
"Come out."
Yu Guiwan didn't look back. She heard footsteps behind her. The person behind her was approaching her, but Yu Guiwan still stood there unmoved.
Then Yu Guiwan heard the sound of a heavy object falling behind him.
"Princess, it has been dealt with."
Bei Chu walked out from the darkness, came to Yu Guiwan's side, and leaned forward, "Princess, the prince has sent his subordinates to pick you up."
"Lead the way."
Yu Guiwan nodded and left with Bei Chu.
……
Xie Sui had been eagerly waiting for Yu Guiwan to come since early morning, pacing back and forth in the room until he saw Yu Guiwan coming, and his eyes lit up.
"Awan."
Xie Sui couldn't wait to run out and hugged Yu Guiwan who was coming towards him.
Seeing this, Bei Chu did not move forward and immediately retreated tactfully.
Yu Guiwan hugged Xie Sui, and neither of them spoke, just hugging each other quietly for a while.
After a moment, Xie Sui finally let go of Yu Guiwan. "Let's go inside and talk." Xie Sui extended his hand to Yu Guiwan. She smiled at Xie Sui, took his hand, and followed Xie Sui into the house.
Entering the house, Yu Guiwan noticed the dark circles under Xie Sui's eyes. She gently stroked them and asked, "Didn't you get enough rest last night?"
Xie Sui shook his head and didn't tell the truth.
"How are things going in the palace?"
Xie Sui changed the subject.
Yu Guiwan wasn't someone who could be easily carried away, so he said sternly, "Xie Sui, you didn't get enough rest."
Seeing that changing the subject failed, Xie Sui immediately moved closer to her and said, "Awan, I was wrong. I can't sleep without you by my side." He looked at Yu Guiwan with aggrieved eyes.
Xie Sui was indeed not lying. He was used to having Ah Wan by his side.
Now that she's gone, it's even harder to fall asleep at night.
Yu Guiwan's expression remained serious. "Don't think I can forgive you just because you said that." Her eyes were filled with heartache as she said this. "I'll stay here and rest tonight."
Xie Sui, who was originally sullen, raised his eyebrows when he heard the second half of Yu Guiwan's words, "Really?"
Yu Guiwan didn't answer Xie Sui's question, but instead asked, "The King of Zhao has already agreed, but they want Princess Yong'an to stay in Zhao."
"However, we have reached an agreement with King Zhao for a month. If we can resist the foreign enemies within a month, they will give up the marriage proposal."
There was no surprise in Xie Sui's eyes. He knew that they would try their best to get more favorable things for Xia Kingdom.
"You don't have anything to say?"
Yu Guiwan looked at Xie Sui's calm face and asked back.
Xie Sui shrugged and said, "I know you can definitely handle the tasks assigned by my royal brother, so I'm not worried. There's only one person who worries me." As he said this, Xie Sui looked at her affectionately.
"If you want to go back to the palace, you have to take Yong'an with you and let her cover you. Got it?"
What Xie Sui is most worried about now is Yu Guiwan. Not everyone can enter the Zhao Palace if they want to. The best way is to disguise himself and go in with Yongan.
Yu Guiwan nodded quickly and said, "I know."
"Have you eaten tonight? Have you taken your medicine?"
She suddenly tilted her head to look at Xie Sui and questioned him. Xie Sui dared not tell the truth and reported everything he had done today, including whether he had eaten well.
……
White House.
After returning from the palace banquet, Bai Huaxu did not rest, but instead practiced sword in the yard under the moonlight.
Halfway through his sword practice, a guard came up to him.
"Sir, the person who followed is gone."
Bai Huaxu stopped when he heard this and placed the sword casually on the stone table. "That didn't surprise me. I've seen her skills that day."
"Have you found out anything about Xia Country?"
Bai Huaxu asked again. When he met the two people in the restaurant that day, he had a vague guess in his mind that they were from Xia, but he did not expect that one of them was Princess Yu Guiwan of Chen. Now it seems that there is only one person who can be protected closely by Yu Guiwan.
Princess Yong'an, Xie Zhiyi.
These two people are quite brave. They walk around the restaurant in such a brazen manner when they first arrive.
The guard bowed and continued, "We've checked. Yu Guiwan's information is consistent with what that person said. As for Prince Xie Sui, his whereabouts are still unknown."
"Keep looking."
Bai Huaxu gave the order and turned back to the house.

The next day, Yu Guiwan woke up before dawn. She had calculated the time last night and had to rush back to the post station before dawn so that no one would find out that she had not returned all night.
Yu Guiwan had just sat up when Xie Sui, who was still asleep, felt the movement beside him. He frowned slightly and opened his eyes, "Awan." His voice was a little hoarse after just waking up.
"Well, I'm here."
Yu Guiwan turned her head to look at Xie Sui, then leaned over and kissed his forehead. "It's still early, you should sleep a little longer. I'll come and have dinner with you tonight." She coaxed Xie Sui softly.
"it is good."
Yu Guiwan coaxed Xie Sui to sleep again, and then she left quietly.
……
When she returned to the post station, the sky was just beginning to turn pale. Yu Guiwan did not go through the main gate but chose to climb over the wall to enter the post station. She tiptoed and jumped up.
Just as Yu Guiwan's toes touched the ground, she heard a familiar voice, "Princess Chen really doesn't care about small matters. She hasn't returned home all night and now she's actually climbing over the wall to get in."
There was a hint of displeasure in Nangong Yi's tone.
Yu Guiwan looked at Nangong Yi standing in the corner with a hint of hostility in her eyes. "I didn't expect that Master Nangong still couldn't change his habit of monitoring me. He just said that we were friends a few days ago. Is this how Master Nangong treats his friends?"
When Nangong Yi heard this, a trace of panic flashed across his face, and he quickly explained: "I didn't mean to monitor you, but I didn't see you come back when Master Chu came back last night."
"But I didn't expect you to not come back all night. I didn't mean to monitor you."
"I hope Master Nangong really thinks so, then we can be friends."
There was always a hint of alienation in Yu Guiwan's tone. She was not a cold-blooded person. It was true that Nangong Yi was her savior, but she already had Xie Sui now.
She couldn't possibly know Nangong Yi's feelings and still keep him hanging, right?
If he could understand it earlier, she wouldn't have to do this. After all, she felt that Nangong Yi was a very smart person, and it would be great if they were friends.
Nangong Yi didn't say anything and lowered his eyes.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Yu Guiwan said, "Then I'll take my leave first." After that, Yu Guiwan turned and left, leaving Nangong Yi alone and lonely there.
friend?
"Can we really only be friends?"
Nangong Yi murmured, his eyes full of loss.
