Long Xuan was informed that his Royal Uncle had arrived. He had just reached the coaching inn when he saw Chu Jiu standing like a block of wood outside the courtyard gates. He raised an eyebrow. "What are you standing here for?"
Chu Jiu darted a look at him and did not reply. All she said was, "If you're here to see His Majesty, you should come by tomorrow."
Long Xuan took a look at the courtyard and nodded his head in understanding. "That's right. Royal Uncle and Royal Aunt had just reunited after being separated for so long, they must have a lot to say to each other. I'll come by tomorrow."
A look flashed in Chu Jiu's eyes, but she said nothing.
Long Xuan was about to leave when he suddenly heard a strange sound coming from inside. He paused for a moment before looking at Chu Jiu. "What was that noise?"
"Was there any noise? I didn't hear anything." Chu Jiu had her hand on the hilt of her sword, but she looked cold and calm as usual.
