Standing nearby, Shi Yixi gave Jin Yan a brief look and a small shake of his head before climbing into the other carriage.
Once they had boarded the horse carriage, the captain and his elite soldiers mounted their warhorses.
Without sparing Jin Yan another glance, the captain ordered calmly, "Move out."
As they departed, Jin Yan clenched her hands so tightly that her nails dug into her palms.
Noticing blood dripping to the ground, her personal maidservant was startled. She quickly took Jin Yan's hand, opened her clenched fingers, and wrapped the wounds with her own handkerchief.
"Seventh Princess, you are bleeding!" she exclaimed in heartache.
Sensing the pain, Jin Yan looked away from the disappearing sight of the horse carriage and ordered, "Return to the room."
Noticing her anger, the personal maidservant lowered her head and answered, "Yes, Second Princess."
