Liuli took her people to the horse grounds and led out the horses, a total of five hundred of the finest Dayuan steeds capable of traveling a thousand li in a day. Ling Hua changed into sturdy riding attire and, after placing a soft cushion atop the horse's back, mounted without a word and headed straight for the Capital City.
She must reach the Capital City within five days.
She wanted to see if Yan Qing would keep his word and marry her or not.
Wangshu, Xiyu, and others accompanied Ling Hua back to the capital while Xiao Zhen's own people stayed at Ling Mountain. They would choose another day for Prince Ye Rui to secretly arrange for the escort of Xiao Zhen to Hengchuan Prefecture.
On the day that Ling Hua left, Ye Rui invited Xiao Zhen for a drink.
