Before departure, Meng Qianqian invited Wang Rou and Lin Xiaoru to visit Zhou Nanyan at the Imperial Palace.
When they learned she was heading to Miaojiang to visit relatives, the three were surprised but felt it was within reason.
The three were reluctant to part.
Zhou Nanyan was the most expressive; every emotion of hers was written plainly on her face.
She hugged Meng Qianqian tightly, crying with reluctance, "Sister Meng, how long will you be gone? You won't settle in Miaojiang and never come back, will you?"
Meng Qianqian gently touched her cheek and said, "I'll come back."
As for how long it would take, even she couldn't be sure.
Lingshan was in the southwest, bordering Miaojiang. This trip to Miaojiang was not just to treat Changle's illness but also to seek revenge against the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion.
"Sister Meng, sneak me along with you..."
Zhou Nanyan was truly unwilling to let Meng Qianqian go.
