Chapter 819: Escape (4)

Lin Ziyin had in fact already made it very clear to him that she would not stay in the North Country, nor would she harbor any thoughts towards him, the Second Prince.

The two of them were like that—one inside the room, the other outside—neither speaking for the duration of an incense stick. Finally, Alhatu left the courtyard with a look of dejection on his face.

As soon as he left the courtyard, maids and guards seemed to spring up from nowhere, standing motionless in the yard.

Lin Ziyin sat inside the room, her heart undisturbed by any of Alhatu's words. For her, Alhatu was a stranger, perhaps even an enemy. It's just that, in the North Country where she was surrounded by enemies, Alhatu's behavior was somewhat gentler.

What she had said to Alhatu was merely a temporary strategy because her mind was completely preoccupied with considering how the people sent by Chu Suifeng would take her out of the North Country.
