Ye Qichi lay in the carriage, and when she received the news that Xiao Jinxing wouldn't leave with her, she showed no reaction.
Instead, it was Lu You who had finally calmed down, sniffled, and started crying again, "Princess, you are like this, yet the Prince doesn't come to accompany you back?"
Ye Qichi remained indifferent, changing to a more comfortable position nonchalantly.
She was used to Xiao Jinxing's actions towards her.
"Let the coachman head back," Ye Qichi instructed Lu You.
Lu You, with eyes red, ordered the coachman to drive away.
Xiao Jinxing just watched as the carriage disappeared in front of him.
Liu Li respectfully said, "Your Highness, the Empress Dowager is waiting for you."
Clearly urging him.
Xiao Jinxing nodded slightly.
Liu Li pushed Xiao Jinxing toward Empress Dowager Wen Jingtang's sleeping quarters.
Wen Jingtang was half-reclining on a soft couch, feigning sleep, with two Palace Attendants fanning her.
