Xiao Yuhan was speaking with an imperial officer when Wang Jingyuan and Yan Qiufeng returned. About twenty imperial soldiers were cleaning up the scene and dragging the dead assassins together, while more stood guard around the perimeter of the area.
"Ah. Qiufeng, Miss Wang, you have returned." Xiao Yuhan waved them over. "You were gone for quite some time, Miss Wang. We were getting worried."
"Sorry for making you worry, Your Highness. I was chasing after the archer, and he's a very fast runner." Wang Jingyuan said apologetically.
"A-Feng, see, I told you Jingyuan mei-mei was fine." Yan Qiuyun came up to Wang Jingyuan. "Jingyuan mei-mei, he was so worried about you pursuing the assassin alone that he ran off after you before the guards even came. Imagine that—he ditched the crown prince and his older sister."
