Chapter 927: Why Not Tell Her?

Su Yingxue slowly got up and, taking advantage of the fact that it wasn't light out yet, tiptoed over to Chu Yihan and said, "Your Highness, grandpa gave me a task to return to Jiang Du City first. He wants me to see Sister Jinyan and find out what problems have arisen between her and my brother, so I won't be leaving with the main army."

Chu Yihan's hand, holding the teacup, stiffened, followed by a low, "Hmm."

Hmm?

That was rather cold.

Su Yingxue licked her lips and said, "Then I... will get ready and leave first."

Chu Yihan still responded with, "Hmm."

"Your Highness, do you not have anything else to say?" Su Yingxue was starting to feel frustrated.

His constant "hmm-ing" made her think he needed to visit the privy upon waking but was embarrassed to say so in front of her.

Chu Yihan finished his cup of tea, his lips pursed, his expression slightly cool, "Be careful on the way, I have arranged for Mo Qi to protect you."

Su Yingxue pouted, "Oh."
