But even if it's a trap, he still has to make the trip.
Returning to Agarwood Pavilion, he hadn't even reached the bead curtain when he saw Su Jin and Xingxing staring at him with wide eyes.
If he guessed correctly, they were probably trying to discern from his face if he'd been scolded.
He lifted the bead curtain and entered the room, saying, "I have to leave the Capital for a period of time."
Su Jin furrowed her brows, "How long?"
"At least half a month."
At most... he didn't know.
Su Jin stood up and said, "I'll go with you."
Xie Jingchen of course wouldn't agree to Su Jin going with him.
He was in a rush to meet up with Princess Jiuling, traveling day and night; Su Jin couldn't bear such hardships.
Even if she could, he wouldn't let Su Jin take risks.
If it truly was Princess Jiuling, the journey would certainly be fraught with peril.
Xie Jingchen didn't bring her along, and Su Jin had no other option.
