Chapter 1248_1

The twelfth month of the year, the weather was exceptionally cold, and it even started to rain recently!

After discussing with everyone, Shangguan Xuanyi decided to mobilize the troops on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Since Shangguan Ruixi did not return to the Imperial Capital, before Shangguan Xuanyi sent out the troops, he dispatched Feng Sheng to secretly escort Princess Ling'er and Shangguan Wanru back to the Imperial Capital.

To prevent any mishaps, Xiao'er helped both of them apply make-up so well that they were unrecognizable to the average person.

When Xiao'er heard that Shangguan Ruixi had arrived, she harshly berated Shangguan Wanru and even slapped her twice. Shangguan Wanru cried non-stop and after waking up the next day, she stopped talking completely!

Perhaps the shock was too much for her. Hence, she was constantly submerged in her thoughts, refusing to respond to anyone who tried to converse with her.
