The next day.
Lei Xing had originally planned to leave early so she would have enough time to spend at each of her stops. But then she woke up and was notified that the Emperor ordered that she wait for his return from Court.
Lei Xing frowned but even if she was worried that he still wanted to come along, she could not outrightly disobey his orders and runoff. It would be super suspicious, not to mention asking for unnecessary friction in their now wonderful relationship. And she understood it was all out of worry for her, so she had no choice but to wait for him to return so she could reassure him some more.
