Chapter 518 Embarrassment
Such an injury would take even the most powerful general a year or two to recover.

He seemed very uncomfortable. He occasionally glanced at Yun Xi quickly, then lowered his eyes to look at his hands.

Yun Xi's appearance made him feel surprised, happy, frightened and embarrassed.

He didn't know what to say and could only silently endure the complicated emotions.

Yun Xi looked at him with mixed feelings. She knew he had done something wrong, but she also understood his inner regret and self-blame.

She didn't know how to face him, but she didn't want to give up on him.

Yun Xi stood there, feeling mixed emotions.

Although she was reluctant to give up Xiao Yushi in front of her, there was always a lingering feeling of discomfort in her heart.

The relationship between them has never been so delicate as it is now.

In the past, their interactions were either distant and cold, or tense and there were even tit-for-tat quarrels.

After taking a deep breath, Yun Xi spoke quickly, with a hint of determination in her voice: "I came here this time to tell you something. Your secret departure from Beijing to Lingnan will sooner or later be exposed. Instead of waiting passively, it is better to take the initiative to plead guilty, and perhaps there will be a glimmer of hope."

Upon hearing this, Censor Xiao opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.

Ever since returning from his injury, he has actually become indifferent to life and death.

He had survived the battlefield and even if he was held accountable now, it would only mean death. He no longer cared.

"Don't tell him about Li Dui for now." Yun Xi added, not wanting to involve more people in this turmoil.

Censor Xiao nodded slightly to show his understanding.

He looked up at Yun Xi, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes: "I agree with your approach. This is the best option at the moment."

Yun Xi didn't delve into the other meanings of his words, as long as he agreed. However, when Xiao Yushi mentioned that he wanted to have a meal with her, she felt an inexplicable resistance in her heart.

They had never had such a peaceful time together, and such scenes made her feel a little uncomfortable.

But looking at Censor Xiao's expectant eyes, Yun Xi finally nodded.

She told herself that it was just a meal and there wouldn't be much trouble.

Yun Xi was speechless. Censor Xiao seemed very happy to have such time, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.

He kept asking about Yun Xi's recent situation, and even mentioned the emperor's arrangement of marriage for them.

"When is the wedding date set?" Censor Xiao asked curiously.

"December 30th." Yun Xi replied indifferently.

"Soon, soon!" Xiao Yushi counted the days, with a glimmer of envy in his eyes: "Your grandfather will definitely hold a grand wedding for you. He loves you so much."

Yun Xi was silent for a moment and did not respond. The wedding in her mind was not what her grandfather had imagined.

Suddenly, Censor Xiao asked in a trembling voice, "Will you...will you leave the Censor's Mansion?"

Yun Xi looked up at him, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes: "Yes, I will leave from the Imperial Censorate."

Censor Xiao seemed a little shocked. He looked at Yun Xi, his lips trembling, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, no words came out.

There was an unspeakable emotion in his eyes, as if he had a thousand words to say but didn't know where to start.

"Okay... okay." Xiao Yushi finally murmured these two words, his voice full of emotion and relief. His heart was full of melancholy.

He was afraid that he would not be able to see his daughter's wedding...
