Chapter 234: You didn't do anything wrong
It was rare to see the Retired Emperor looking worried, Chu Qing-Yan couldn't help but walk over.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you? Are today's pastries not to your taste?" Right now she could only think of this reason.
"No." The Retired Emperor shook his head.
"Then what is it?" Chu Qing-Yan asked curiously.
The Retired Emperor glanced at her, then lightly shook his head. "Yan girl, I ought to be going."
It was so sudden that Chu Qing-Yan stared blankly. "Grandpa, where do you want to go? Not going to go together with us?"
"No, I need to stroll around other areas, so I won't be going together with you guys." Although the Retired Emperor's tone had a trace of reluctance to part, his manner of speaking was quite firm.
Chu Qing-Yan knew that once he made a decision, it would be hard to change so she nodded her head. "Did you tell his Highness?"
"In a while!" The Retired Emperor smiled, immediately after it seemed as if he thought of something and said to her. "Yan girl, along the way it was more difficult than what you imagined. If you don't want to continue, then let Xu'er know and he would send you home."
