Three days later, the autumn hunt arrived as scheduled.
Qi Yu and Li Mingjue mingled with the marching troops, following the vast crowd to a royal hunting ground on the outskirts of the Imperial City.
On the platform, seated were the Emperor and Empress of Luoyue Country, both with somewhat stiff expressions, no hint of joy visible.
Having stayed in the palace for several days, Qi Yu was naturally aware of the loveless relationship between the two.
She also knew what had caused their rift.

"A marriage alliance?" The Emperor of Luoyue Country, upon hearing this news, looked somewhat surprised.
The Empress, on the other hand, darkened in countenance.
