88 The Distance Between Them

Xing felt like something was off with Shengli and as she was about to pass the gate but was stopped by the guards and they asked for a security check even though she showed them her Huang family token. Xing's eyes were focused on Shengli as she thought he'd hear this ruckus and would come for her aid but he was just reading the letter and it made Xing sulk and she even forgot about the White Tiger Token she had in her hands.

My Prince, why do I feel like the distance between us is larger now even when you are right before me? I felt much closer to you even when I didn't know about your whereabouts for ten years!

Luckily, General Zhong Huojin who entered the palace just then noticed the guards being noisy with Xing and he helped her get out. Xing thanked him sincerely which surprised him greatly as Xing was surprised he helped her too.
