"Yes, I'll go right away." Hu Siyi dared not say more and left for the Eastern Palace.
Su Xinyi watched as the Crown Prince applied medicine to his wound and went in to say goodbye.
With a change of clothes and outer robe draped over him, the extent of the Crown Prince's injuries was impossible to tell.
Su Xinyi knew that he was putting on a show of light injuries to spare her guilt. She didn't expose him but just smiled and bid him farewell.
Yan Junchu watched her smile and said, "It's time to go. It's getting close to daybreak. I'll have someone escort you home, lest you encounter patrolling officers on the way."
Su Xinyi nodded and didn't refuse this time, "Then I'll trouble Your Highness."
Yan Junchu looked at her. Even though her expression seemed perfectly calm, it somehow made him uneasy. He said, "You should get some rest too after you get home. Yang Jin will continue the investigation, and Yuan Gang is not to be trifled with. Don't provoke him."
