Coming out of the palace, it was already at sunset, with the horizon filled with the glow of twilight.
It was stiflingly hot inside the carriage, so Xiao'er lifted part of the curtain, looking at the hustle and bustle on the street, and letting in some fresh air.
The weather in May was already oppressively hot, she wondered how she would get through July and August.
As the carriage passed an alley, Xiao'er saw two familiar figures.
"Stop!" Xiao'er hurriedly told Zhao Yong.
Although Xiao'er called for a sudden stop, Zhao Yong was not surprised at all, as if he had been fully prepared to follow Xiao'er's orders.
With a light "whoa", the carriage came to a steady stop. Neither Mrs. Liu nor Xiao'er had the inertia of leaning forward due to the sudden halt.
The people sent by Shangguan Xuanyi were really different, they could even make an emergency stop with the carriage smoothly.
"What's wrong?" Mrs. Liu looked at Xiao'er curiously.
