"No, we were just talking about separation, so there was some sadness, and then Chu Xia cried, we didn't bully Chu Xia, don't worry."

A slightly younger lady said, which made Chu Xia feel a little embarrassed. She lowered her head and didn't look up at Jing Yuan's eyes.

"Oh, I see, I misunderstood, I'm sorry."

Jing Yuan scratched his hair, and then said with some embarrassment. Then he sat back down and waited for them to cook.

I don't know how long it took, but it was finally over. Chu Xia was already busy, and then walked to Jing Yuan's side.

She brought a bowl of rice and handed it to him, and Jing Yuan took it and ate it.

I don't know how many meals he can eat here, but it is estimated that they will be leaving in a day or two.

He made an appointment with Xiao Tan to meet today, probably to talk about leaving. The matter in the city, Xiao Tan has already investigated. So everything is ready and only the east wind is owed, and now as long as he goes back, it's fine. Everyone got up and came to eat. At mealtime, everyone was silent. It is estimated that they all know that they are about to leave, so they are in a very low mood.

No one was talking, and after eating, everyone went about their jobs.

"Chu Xia, you can go out with me for a while. I'm not going to help in the fields today, I have other things to do."

Jing Yuan stopped Chu Xia and then said to her. In fact, it's not a special thing, just to see Xiaotan. They were going to discuss their next plans, so Chu Xia was going as well.

"Is there anything special?"

Chu Xia asked, then looked at Jing Yuan. Although everyone is almost done, there are still a few people here.

So these words were not very convenient to say, so Jing Yuan didn't say any more.

She probably understood Jing Yuan's intentions, so she didn't ask any further.

After Chu Xia finished eating, they left. It was still in that cave that they met Sandalwood.

"Xiaotan, you're here, it's been a long time, is it okay to cut it at once?"

Jing Yuan asked, then looked at Xiao Tan. He and Xiaotan haven't seen each other for many days, and they really miss each other. After all, it turned out that in the house, they had to meet every day, and they were together all the time.

"Okay, don't say that, let's talk about the next plan."

Xiao Tan glanced at him, and then didn't talk to him anymore. If he continued to say this, Chu Xia would have misunderstood.

"I have come into contact with many of the courtiers' children in the city this time, and I have found that they all have some problems to a greater or lesser extent, so these children are the handles of these courtiers, so that we have more bargaining chips in our hands than them."

"Your investigation is very good, even if it is very rewarding, I think we can get out of here. And even here, there won't be any bigger gains in the future, so it's better to go back to the city."

Jing Yuan said this, but Chu Xia was very unhappy in his heart. All along, they fought for the throne. Maybe this is the difference between men and women, women are more emotional than men after meetings, so they are not suitable to participate in state politics.

She remained silent, with her head bowed, not looking at anyone. Xiao Tan seemed to have found Chu Xia and was not in a good mood, so he asked her.

"Chu Xia? What's wrong with you? Feeling bad? Or is something going on?"

He said this to Chu Xia and looked up at him. Probably surprised by her sudden concern.

"I'm fine, I'm just not in a good mood."

Xiao Tan knew that it would be inconvenient for him to ask any more, so he stopped the topic. He looked at Jing Yuan, as if he wanted to know what had happened to Chu Xia. But Jing Yuan didn't look at him, and he didn't respond to this matter.

These two people were inexplicable, which made him feel very uncomfortable too. Now the atmosphere between them is depressing and awkward. He didn't even know what to say, he just wanted to get out of here.

"Then if there's nothing to say, I'll go first."

Xiao Tan looked at Jing Yuan and said this, and then prepared to leave. But Jing Yuan pulled him and didn't allow him to go.

It is estimated that he also feels that the atmosphere between him and Chu Xia is very awkward, so Xiao Tan is here, and there is better between them. If it was really just the two of them, the environment would be even more awkward.

"Xiao Tan, don't leave yet, let's talk about it for a while."

Jing Yuan opened his mouth and said, he just didn't allow Xiao Tan to leave. I had to let him stay here and talk to him.

"Alright then, we'll talk about it later." "Then let's confirm the specific departure time, after all, the villagers here have been asking us, and we can't answer vaguely."

Jing Yuan said this, and then looked at Chu Xia. He wanted to listen to Chu Xia's opinion, after all, this matter had a big impact on her.

"And what do you say? The exact time must be set by you."

Xiao Tan looked at him puzzled, this matter has nothing to do with him, why should it be related to him. It was originally a matter between him and Chu Xia, so why did you have to tell him?

"Chu Xia, you can talk about it, I want to hear your opinion."

Jing Yuan directly called Chu Xia's name and asked her to speak. Chu Xia was already in a daze, just heard him call himself, and then came back to his senses.

"What shall I say?"

She looked at Jing Yuan in confusion, not knowing what they had just said.

Because they had been talking about the struggle for royal power, she was very uninterested, so she didn't listen carefully. All she cared about was when she would leave, but they didn't mention it. But when they talked about it, she was running away again.

"I mean, when do you want to leave? We'll figure out the exact time and tell the farmers."

Jing Yuan seemed to be a little unhappy because Chu Xia hadn't listened to them all this time. This made him feel that he was very unvalued, and he felt that Chu Xia despised them very much. Maybe he's thinking too much, but he's just not happy right now.

"I'm free, I'll just listen to you."

She said this, and Jing Yuan seemed to be even more unhappy. I was asking for her opinion, but she said so.

"Then the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, we will leave. When you send some chariots and horses to pick us up, it will be the morning after tomorrow."

Jing Yuan didn't want to be angry with Chu Xia either, so he decided directly. He told Xiao Tan about it, and then told him about it.

"Okay, then you can get your bags ready, and we'll go straight away."

Jing Yuan nodded, and then Xiao Tan left first. At this point, there were only two of them left. The atmosphere was quiet and no one spoke.

Chu Xia seemed to feel that what she had just done was indeed wrong, she didn't listen to the conversation between the two of them, and her attitude was indeed a little bad. She also obviously felt that Jing Yuan seemed to be a little angry with her.

"I'm really sorry I didn't listen to you just now. But I'm really in a bad mood because of this parting. I'm really sorry that it may have affected some of my emotions."

Chu Xia was apologizing to him, hoping that he could not pursue this matter. She really didn't mean it, and she knew she was wrong.

"It's okay, I don't blame you."

Jing Yuan was indeed a little unhappy, and then his tone was a little indifferent. His unhappiness was evident in his tone, and Chu Xia heard it clearly.

But she really didn't know how to apologize, and there were some grievances that sat there with her head bowed.

"Okay, I'm really not angry, let's go back quickly."

Jing Yuan looked at her and couldn't bear it in his heart. They're still in this cave, so they're going to hurry back. When it's late, it's not safe to go back.

And they are about to leave, and they have to talk to the peasants.

"Okay, let's go."

Chu Xia saw that he had forgiven himself, and his mood was much better. He quickly stood up and said happily.

After that, the two of them went back to the village, and it was just getting dark. The farmers have also returned, and now it is

At the time of dinner.

"Where have you two gone?" We haven't seen each other all afternoon. I thought you were leaving, and we were worried for a long time."

A farmer in the village said this, he had just seen the two of them coming back from the other side of the mountain. Then he hurried over and spoke to them and asked them.

"Uncle, you're joking, how could we say goodbye without saying goodbye. We're leaving the day after tomorrow, so we'll get together tomorrow."

Jing Yuan told him this, and after the farmer heard this, he let out a long sigh. I am reluctant to let them go, but there is no way to keep them.

"Well, okay, I'll go back and tell them."

"Thank you so much, then we'll go first."

The uncle nodded, and then Jing Yuan took Chu Xia away.

Tomorrow they will have a big party, or more precisely, a farewell party. It was held for Chu Xia and Jing Yuan, and the villagers of the whole village would participate.

"After a while, you will go and pick some fresh vegetables, and then you will go and kill a few cattle and sheep, and you will take a few women to the forest to pick fruits, and then the strong men will come and set up the tables and chairs, and then go and chop wood."

A man of more prestige in the village instructed everyone here and arranged for the work to be carried out. Everything was going in order, and everyone was busy.

No one is lazy, everyone is very conscious. Everyone understands the importance of this meeting, so they are all very active.

Jing Yuan and Chu Xia saw this posture and were particularly moved in their hearts. They really didn't expect that the villagers here would hold such a large party for them.

"Village chief, you really don't need this, it's too wasteful."

Chu Xia walked beside the village chief and then said this to him. The village chief was a little unhappy when he heard this, and he had always regarded them as very important guests. Of course, you want to treat your guests with the best, how can you be perfunctory.
