267 Affair of the Kerchief

Xing was surprised to see an entire village celebrating the victory welcoming the returned soldiers. But the one who got her attention was Haru who was there with gifts.

Since they decided to stay there for the night, the Emperor asked Haru to join them too since he knew Xing would like it and only he could figure out what she is thinking apart from his brother.

The Emperor expected her to tell him where she went that day when she went missing but she wasn't willing to talk to him much,which surprised him. He did go a little too far that day when he shouted at her but she was in the wrong too and he thought everything would get better soon. Seems like that is not going to be the case. She is not even looking at him when they are in private as she was in deep thoughts and she had the do-not-disturb expression on her face all the time. Even Bai Li was ignored that surprised him.
