At dawn, she woke up on a bed with a quilt and she was the only one in the tent.

Where was Big Block of Ice?

She looked around and finally became clear headed and got up.

When Chu Qing-Yan got out of the tent, she saw Xi Ning holding a basin of water. She had her head lowered while waiting outside the tent.

Just as she was about to talk to Xi Ning, in an instant she felt everyone's gaze turn to herself all at once. She lifted her head in puzzlement, and saw that those people immediately turned their gazes elsewhere, pretending to be very busy.

Chu Qing-Yan felt these people were very strange, but first she had to freshen up. She turned to look toward Xi Ning and found out that today's Xi Ning was also very strange. From the moment she exited the tent, she hadn't said a single word.

"Xi Ning?" Chu Qing-Yan couldn't help but open her mouth to call her.

Seeing Xi Ning lifted up her head and her eyes whirled about beaming with smiles to look at her. "Master, do you want to wash your face and rinse your mouth?"

Chu Qing-Yan lifted a hand to stroke her chin, sizing her up with a face full of suspicion. "Speak, what's going on? How come I just got up and all around me is very strange?"

One only heard Xi Ning laugh mischievously. "Master, last night you..." She lifted a hand to point at the tent behind her master.

Chu Qing-Yan followed her finger and looked in that direction, and immediately understood. She lifted her hand and slapped her it down saying disapprovingly. "Silly little girl, so young, how could you think of those matters that can't nourish the mind?"

She deliberately raised her voice, in order to let Fire Spirit's group that was straining their ears to hear her words.

Xi Ning said in puzzlement. "Doesn't have nourishment? There isn't ah. It's Honorable Fire Spirit and them that said it early this morning. Master's courage is too small, therefore, therefore——" Therefore you ran into His Highness's tent.

Chu Qing-Yan's face turned black, she felt it was she whose thought went crooked. She turned her eyes to swipe the surroundings and saw everyone nod as if they had agreed ahead of time.

Little consort, your courage was too small!

Chu Qing-Yan was so angry there was flames shooting out of the top of her head. What's wrong with having little courage? Is a person not allowed to have a weak point?

"Master, your courage is even smaller than Xi Ning's. In the future, Xi Ning will accompany you!" Xi Ning said this very seriously.

Chu Qing-Yan felt as if her knee had been hit by an arrow, she wanted to cry but lacked the tears as she said. "Thank you Xi Ning."

Arriving at the place where the meal was being served, the tables were all joined. Chu Qing-Yan w sat down on the chair with a dejected expression. Her illustrious name ah. With great difficulty, she had established it during the period when Big Block of Ice suffered injustice. Now in one night, it had fallen and returned to original point!"

"Yan girl, I heard last night you——" Only the Retired Emperor, that guy, would mention what shouldn't be mentioned.

Chu Qing-Yan waved her hand without any strength and perfunctorily said. "I know, you also want to laugh at me for my lack of courage. Laugh ah, laugh ah——"

The Retired Emperor, amused by her, laughed heartily. "Yan girl, I am not talking about this."

"Then what do you want to say?" It was hard to come by that the Retired Emperor didn't laugh at her for lacking courage. Her spirit couldn't help but be more alert and vigorous. Looks like the Retired Emperor wasn't the kind of person to hit a person when they are down. She won't be at odds with him about the pastries from before.
