Ye Jiuxiao's sudden appearance was likewise unexpected for Chu Nanli.
She had clearly learned from Zhuang Lin that it would take Ye Jiuxiao at least five or six days to return to the capital.
What she did not know was that Ye Jiuxiao had rushed back specifically for her.
Upon learning that Chu Nanli was pregnant and being watched over by Ye Yunting's men, Ye Jiuxiao decided to return to the capital ahead of schedule.
He had nearly finished his business in the Southern Border, and after delegating the remaining tasks to his subordinates, he led his men back to the capital first.
The journey that normally took at least five to six days was brutally condensed to four.
Up till now, he had been without sleep for a day and a night.
Fortunately, he had not arrived too late.
"I have always respected Uncle Emperor, but even so, Uncle Emperor should not involve Empress Grandmother in this matter, should he?"
Ye Yunting's inner turmoil had reached its limit.
