The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder, a bit like the scent of a battlefield. Mo Xunxun took a deep breath and told herself in her heart, this isn't the border anymore, this is the Imperial City, this is a bustling metropolis.
From now on, she would never have to live those days of constant fear again.
Ming Mei noticed Mo Xunxun's body trembling and asked her, "Is it too cold? The wind's strong in this hallway, let's go inside."
Mo Xunxun gave a slight smile and nodded. "Mm, it's a little cold."
Ming Mei quickly took her hand and led her in. "Then let's not stand here. It's already the middle of the night, you've been on the road for so long before finally getting here, go get some rest."
Kang Chen also said to Jian Yi, "You're back now anyway, there'll be plenty of time to talk later. Take Xunxun upstairs to rest, the butler's already prepared a room for you two."
Jian Yi nodded. "Then we'll head up first."
Mo Xunxun glanced at Ming Mei.
