Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress

"Alright, I’ll send them over first thing tomorrow morning," he said.

Cai Wei walked to the window and said, "It’s getting late, I need to go, you should hurry back to the Crown Prince’s Mansion too!"

Nangong Yi hummed in agreement, but stepped forward to embrace her, burying his face in the hollow of her neck, rubbing tenderly, longing to stay connected. After a while, he whispered softly, "Madam, come back soon, I miss you..."

Cai Wei hummed in response, her heart softened to a mess. She knew if she were to embrace the man right now, what followed would inevitably be a lingering, sorrowful kiss and endless affection. She wouldn’t know when she might be able to leave, so she hardened her heart, pushed him away, leaped out the window, and said softly, "I’m leaving now, you should go back too!"

As she spoke, the white-haired tiger had already appeared in the courtyard. Cai Wei mounted the tiger, waved at the man, and whoosh, disappeared into the courtyard...

Nangong Yi stared blankly in the direction the white-haired tiger had vanished, whispering softly, "Heartless girl..."

That night, he didn’t leave, staying in Cai Wei’s room instead, where her lingering scent remained, elegant and fragrant, just how he loved it.

He lay down, resting on the pillow she usually slept on, tossing and turning half the night before gradually drifting off to sleep...

After a night of travel, as daylight was about to break, Cai Wei arrived in Qing County on the border of Meng slaves.

Qing County was the first stop on her journey north. Since it was still early, and it wasn’t proper to disturb the Shen Mansion so early, she put the white-haired tiger into her Space and followed it in herself. In her newly arranged boudoir within her Space, she had a good sleep. Time passed differently inside the Space; three hours of sleep left her feeling fully rested while only an hour had gone by outside.

After a satisfying rest, she left the Space and went to the street to have breakfast.
