The next day Li Hua left the Imperial City in the carriage sent by Yi Junjie. After sending away Li Hua, when Li Rui stepped back inside the Plum Courtyard, she couldn't help but feel a little lonely.
Li Zhan, Li Mei, and Li Hua all left. No, she was alone to fight her wars. But she comforted herself with the fact that Li Hua would be safe from now on.
That morning, she sat in the front hall for a long time hearing the chirping of birds.
