After sending off her brother who seemed not so happy to leave the cozy city after hearing about the 'struggles' faced by the Emperor in the outside world, Xing started to do what she always did... Reading the memorials.
Xing had arranged for Rijun's protection from Lin Mubai who hadn't heard anything from Chenglie or any of Shihong's people in the past weeks after she left them. Also there were the Imperial guards and also the Huang private bodyguards to take care of him. Rijun had more protection than the Emperor.
When she mentioned that, he whined, "But Mingxia! You were with him! If I'm going with you, I won't ask for protection either.."
Xing didn't know what to say to that brother of hers who trusted her to that extent.
"You are cruel to send me alone, spoony Xia", he knocked her head.
Xing rubbed her head and pouted. This brother of hers never misses his chance to hit her.
