Marquis Xuanping had not anticipated running into Long Yi here at all. Long Yi was still wearing the same mask he had put on upon entering the Princess Mansion, one that he had hardly taken off since.

——Perhaps he had changed it for a new one at some point, but it was always the same style.

How strange. Wasn’t Long Yi supposed to have gone northeast with Ah Heng to negotiate peace with the State of Chen?

When he left Quyang in search of medicine, Xiao Heng had not yet arrived at the northwestern border, so naturally, he had no idea that Long Yi had already parted ways with Xiao Heng.
