Hearing the commotion outside, Xie Yunzhou knew that he had to leave. His eyes were filled with reluctance.
He reached out and caressed the girl's cheek. "Have a good rest. I'll protect you."
Shi Xi nodded obediently. "I'm relieved to know that you're by my side."
With a familiar person by her side in this huge palace cage, the uneasiness in Shi Xi's heart calmed down a lot.
Even at night, she no longer had nightmares.
Shi Xi slept until the sun was shining brightly when she was woken up by Sena.
"Princess Consort, Princess Consort, wake up."
Shi Xi moaned, her voice soft and coy. "What's wrong?"
"The Queen has invited you to the garden to enjoy the flowers. The First Prince will also be there. You should get up and wash up," Sena said respectfully.
"No." Shi Xi covered her head with the blanket and rejected her directly.
The corner of Sena's eyes twitched.
That was the Queen!
