Yun Bixue understood that if it weren't for her, he would have let chaos take over in the imperial capital, instead of letting the imperial capital continue to remain peaceful, contrary to his plan.

 He was doing it in consideration of her, fearing that should the situation get out of hand and things become too chaotic, she would be affected, or even suffer an agitation and affect her health.

 Yun Bixue understood how meticulous this man was.

 Precisely because she knew how wonderful he was, she wasn't calculative with him when they were having a cold war some time ago, and was never angry with him.

 On the contrary, she felt even more heartache for him.

 The next day, Xie Limo went to work, and Yun Bixue let Yun Dong accompany her.

 Previously, Yun Dong was a.s.signed by her to investigate Fei'er's matter in Country F.

 But the man behind Chu Fei'er was someone from the Ye family, and they had connections with the Xies. Hence, Xie Limo asked her to bring Yun Dong and the rest of the Yun family's men of sacrifice back, and arrange someone from the Xie family to go instead.

Thus, Yun Dong returned.

 Such an arrangement was good for her. With Yun Dong by her side, she felt more grounded.

 For a few consecutive days, while Xie Limo was at work, it was Yun Dong who kept her company.

 Yun Bixue noticed something, and that is, when Yun Dong and Xie Liu were together, they were like quarrelsome lovers.

 Xie Liu was clearly a quiet person, yet when facing Yun Dong, he spoke quite a lot.

 Yun Bixue would be glad to see Yun Dong get together with Xie Liu.

 Yun Bixue continued to take a stroll every day. She also got someone to check on suspicious characters in her surroundings. Finally, Yun Bixue narrowed down her suspects.

 This evening, Yun Bixue asked Yun Dong to go on a walk with her, but she also sent some protective guards in the dark.

 Shortly after, Yun Bixue turned around and said in one direction, “After looking for so long, are you not coming out?”

 There was no answer, but Yun Bixue continued, “Your Highness!”

 Xiajun Yanwu's countenance changed slightly. Only then did she slowly walk out with Wu Yin. She took a deep look at Yun Bixue and said with a smile, “How did you know I'm here?”

 This was the first time Yun Bixue saw Xiajun Yanwu in person. There was a very slight hint of surprise in her eyes when she saw her.

 This princess was indeed very beautiful, so beautiful that one could not take their eyes off her. Even though she was dressed normally, her beauty and air of n.o.bility could not be hidden.

 With one hand supporting her tummy, Yun Bixue answered with a smile, “I've always known. I thought Princess wanted to see me, so I've been waiting all along.”

 Xiajun Yanwu said, “Very smart. No wonder he's so attentive towards you.”

 Yun Bixue's eyes narrowed. She knew that by “he”, Xiajun Yanwu was referring to Xie Limo.

 If her sixth sense as a woman was right, this princess very likely was interested in her Mr. Xie.

 Yun Bixue said, not showing much reaction, “You've just returned to the country and should be very busy, Princess. Why are you wasting time on me every day?”

 Xiajun Yanwu was a straightforward person. She replied honestly, “Because you have something I'm interested in. Or perhaps put it this way, I'm very curious.”

 Yun Bixue smiled. “I'm so heavily pregnant right now. I really have no idea what about me you're interested in, Princess. Don't tell me it's the baby in my tummy? But no matter how beautiful you are, my child can't see it.”

Xiajun Yanwu's face stiffened. She realized this Yun Bixue was not as harmless as she looked. She was eloquent, and every sentence she said could shut one up.

 This was the first time she saw someone who did not give face to her to this extent, someone who disregarded her, a princess.

Xiajun Yanwu took several steps forward and said when she got near Yun Bixue, “Do you know that by saying something like this, I can totally punish you for being disrespectful to me?”
