Fan Yunxi packed simple, plain clothing; since they were going to Baima Temple, she didn't bring any jewelry or hairpins. Before leaving, she left a note explaining that she and Empress Xie were headed to Baima Temple and would return soon.

Fan Yunxi felt a bit apologetic, "Sorry to keep you waiting, Aunt."

Empress Xie, of course, replied that it was no trouble.

However, Fan Yunxi noticed the carriage behind them and found it strange that Empress Xie hadn't brought much luggage, only a single wooden box. "Aunt, is this all you're bringing?"
