In the Jade Water Pavilion, Consort Zhen chatted warmly with Feiyue’er, often asking if she was comfortable.

Xiao Ming sat watching them, quietly planning when to return to Qingzhou. Now that he was married, he saw no reason to stay longer in Chang’an.

The recent assassination attempt left him with a shadow over his mind — Chang’an was unsafe.

Just like every regional lord tried to avoid leaving their own territory, Xiao Ming felt the same. Once on another’s land, he couldn’t guarantee his own safety.

Besides, now that he had Feiyue’er as his wife, he didn’t want any accidents in Chang’an.

While the two ladies laughed, Xiao Ming spoke up: “Mother, I plan to return to Qingzhou in five days. I won’t stay longer — this place isn’t safe.”

Consort Zhen nodded. She didn’t try to stop him. The assassination also worried her deeply.

“Yes, better to return early. The waters in Chang’an are muddy — every extra day brings danger. Also, your territory needs managing. If left too long unattended, there could be trouble. Prepare and go back soon.”

Feiyue’er knew about the assassination and did not oppose but asked, “Has the assassin been found?”

“According to Father, it was either the Second Prince or the Jin merchants colluding with the northern tribes. Both are most likely,” Xiao Ming said thoughtfully.
