Chapter 448

Seeing that Xiao'er still showed no signs of waking up even after taking the soup made from soul-reviving grass, Shangguan Xuanyi, despite his injuries, decided to return to the Imperial Capital immediately.

Zhu Yan had not yet recovered from the unkind words of the man she loved, when her husband had to leave.

Just as Shangguan Xuanyi's party left, a visitor arrived at the house of Magistrate Zhu.

Upon seeing the visitor, Magistrate Zhu warmly invited him to the flower hall and instructed the maid to serve tea.

"Cousin Wen, how do you have time to visit today?"

"Xiyue Country has been destroyed, so we generals stationed in the northwest are now at leisure."

"It is unexpected that the Sixth Prince could overthrow Xiyue Country at such a young age. Finally, the people here can live in peace." If there's no more war and the people live in peace, surely that would elevate his rank once his term ends.
