Liu Sisi, unable to bear the separation, changed into a sturdy outfit and followed closely behind on a small horse.
She escorted the party all the way out of Macheng County, not willing to turn back even when they were far away.
Di Yelei also looked back frequently, sending his followers to urge Liu Sisi to return, and only when they were about to leave the boundaries of Macheng County did she reluctantly stop her horse, allowing the party to walk away as her tears poured down.
Di Yelei left, and at the same time, the Princess of Xixia Country, Lin Xiner, departed too.
Once Lin Xiner left, it seemed as if Zhao Yuanlang's main pillar of support was gone; he was sickly all day, unable to muster any energy for anything.
Liu Sisi was summoned to see him, but she was greeted by the sight of Zhao Yuanlang with a piece of gauze over his forehead.
"Ruyu, you've come, take a seat quickly."
