After concluding the inspection, Prince Yan rode away from Yunzhou with his guards. His heart yearned for home, burning with urgency to see Shen Wei again. For this reason, he deliberately abandoned the slow carriage and chose to return on horseback instead.
His black cloak fluttered as his steed galloped fiercely.
A cloud of dust rose along the official road as the figure of Prince Yan, riding at full speed, vanished into the distance toward Yanjing City.
By the side of the road, an extravagantly luxurious carriage stood inconspicuously. The pale silk curtain lifted slightly, revealing a woman veiled behind it. Her phoenix-like eyes, tilted slightly upward, exuded an alluring charm.
She watched the imposing figure of Prince Yan disappear into the distance.
A maid inside the carriage whispered, "His Highness Prince Yan was inspecting Yunzhou. Why didn't you find a way to meet him? With your peerless beauty, he would surely fall at your feet."
