Tong Li lay motionless in Junxu’s arms, her eyes closed as she tried to forget that the person beneath her was poisoned, and that the person beneath her who had promised to help her escape was the victim of a plan by her and her sister to never leave Yizhou.
Tong Li clenched her fists tightly, ‘She’s lying to you, she’s lying to you, don’t be softhearted.’
Junxu smiled faintly. No one would believe her in this situation without believing their own blood relatives, but what does it matter whether they believe it or not? What she, Junxu, wants to do has nothing to do with the thoughts of strangers.
‘Your Highness, it seems you are doing well.’
Tongli suddenly got up from Junxu’s arms. Junxu, on the other hand, looked indifferent, standing up unhurriedly and bowing

‘Oh, Your Highness is being modest. The city lord has been busy with affairs and has never given Your Highness a welcome. This evening, I have finally found some time to show Your Highness around Yizhou and let you get to know the local customs.‘
’Lord Qu, it’s fine to call me Junxu. How dare I not go along with the city lord’s banquet invitation? I’m just a bit apologetic for asking for so much.‘
’Your Highness has the royal bloodline of the Qin Empire, so you should be called Your Highness. Haha, shall we have a carriage waiting to welcome Your Highness when the time comes?’
‘Thank you, Lord Qu, and please also thank Lord Junxu for me.‘
’Your Highness, I cannot thank the Lord Mayor on your behalf. You have revealed military secrets to us, so we are practically family. Hahahaha.‘
’Lord Qu, you are too kind.‘
’Then I will take my leave. Your Highness, please don’t see me out.‘
’You go ahead, my lord.”
He turned his head and saw Tong Li standing behind him with his head down. Junxu said in a deep voice
