Cai Huan was sent out of the Palace in secret. All the precious jewellery and clothes she accumulated over the years weren't allowed to be worn, and all of her Xia clothes were stripped off. She could only wear an ordinary robe. The most valuable thing currently in her possession was the golden hairpin that Xia Xi secretly gave her.

She saw the golden hairpin and began to wholeheartedly regret it. She knew just how important it was to Xia Xi, but he was willing to give such a thing to her, just to ensure that she wouldn't have a hard time in the future. Whenever she thought of this Cai Huan would feel guilty and at the same time secretly thank the heavens that she didn't get the chance to make an irreversible mistake. At least Xia Xi's body wasn't harmed because of her shameful behavior.

Holding the golden hairpin in her arms, Cai Huan sat on the narrow carriage and truly couldn't help crying this time. She felt uncomfortable, regretful. She remembered when they first came to the Barbarian country. She was young at that time. She was sad because she was chosen but Xia Xi fed her candied fruit and took care of her along the way. When she was sleepy he would even let her sleep on his thigh... and how did she return the favor? She knew that Xia Xi also loved the King very much, but she still deliberately seduced him for her own selfish desires. She also told Xia Xi about it, begging him to fulfill her wish... She saw Xia Xi's kindness and knew that he valued herself, so she triumphantly took advantage of it all..

After Xia Xi went to the temple, although her limelight wasn't as good as Hu Jie's, and although she really wasn't favored, she was still fascinated by the beautiful clothes, valuable jewelry, and power. After Hu Jie died, she even vaguely hoped that Xia Xi wouldn't return to the Palace, leaving her the only one in it. She believed that one day the King would see her in a good light and finally favour her. But she was too undignified and excessive, deliberately going to see Xia Xi in her spare time, deliberately showing off in front of him, and deliberately taunting him...

How could she do so many harmful things at that time?

Perhaps growing up in the Xia palace affected her thoughts to some extent. Everyone there was always scheming on how to climb up unscrupulously, Cai Huan felt that she could do it too, but now she regreted it, she had done too many wrong things.

Cai Huan cried for several hours, she cried until she was exhausted and gradually fell asleep in the carriage. She's been used to living well for several years now, she usually slept on a soft bed covered with a quilt, although she was very sleepy, she still woke up after just two hours of sleep in this cold and hard place.

There was a bit of light coming in from the gaps of the carriage, Cai Huan stretched out her hand to open the curtain and saw a white cloud appearing on the horizon. The carriage was walking on grassland, occasionally she could see piles of messy rocks but couldn't tell where they were, Cai Huan turned towards the Palace servant who was manning the carriage and asked: "Where is this?"

The Palace servant replied without turning his head: "We'll be there soon."

Cai Huan asked: "Are we still in Yudu?"

The Palace servant responded with a perfunctory attitude but Cai Huan didn't dare to complain. There were seemingly no shops in this village, and there seemed to be only two people and a carriage left in this world, it made her panic. She regretted her behavior again. If not, she would've still been sleeping beautifully on her large bed at the moment. When she woke up, someone would wash her up and dress her up, she'd still have a delicious breakfast to eat. Afterwards, she could tease the cat and pet the dog and then go to Xia Xi's place to gossip with him, if she was lucky, she might be able to see the King...
