Cui Lingyao watched, her eyes slowly turning red.
"I'm not dead yet. Don't be a crybaby,"
Xie Jinbai pinched her rosy cheek and coaxed her with a smile, "Don't worry. I'll make sure to live a long life. I'd never let you become a widow."
Cui Lingyao: "..."
She just stared at him, her eyes still red.
Xie Jinbai sighed, took her by the wrist, and led her inside.
The carriage had stopped right at the entrance to his study.
A moment after they went inside, they reached the rear courtyard.
Xie Jinbai glanced around and asked the person behind him, "Where are the two Daoists?"
"With the Princess Consort staying here, it wasn't appropriate to have other men on the premises, so they've been moved to a separate courtyard," Li Yong said. "This subordinate will go and summon them now."
"There's no rush," Xie Jinbai said, raising a hand. "Prepare some hot water first."
With that, he led her into the room.
The door slowly closed.
