The missive of regretted marriage was hijacked by the Hua Family, and they even made tens of thousands of copies of the Empress Dowager's decree of marriage annulment and posted them across all the provinces and counties. This news soon reached the hands of Yun Chi.
At the end of the letter from Ma Yi, he asked how he should act.
By this time, Yun Chi had already reached the border of the foreign country in the Southwest Territory. He reined in his horse, finished reading the letter, and then stood still on the spot, lingering for half an hour, before crushing the letter in his hand and continuing on his way without a word.
He sent no reply back to Ma Yi.
The Capital City was already experiencing summer, but as they moved southwest, the temperature became increasingly cooler. The vegetation in the Southwest Territory was just beginning to sprout, and the travelers on the road were all dressed in thick clothing.
Ever since Hua Yan left, Yun Chi spoke very little along the way.
