That same day, Xi Yan submitted a farewell letter to the Beili Emperor, stating their intention to leave the capital in seven days.
The Beili Emperor had been searching for over a month without any sign of Xi Fengying. He couldn't help but suspect that she might have left the Capital City on that very day. Although it seemed a bit far-fetched, it was also the most plausible explanation.
After all, the Capital City had been turned upside down several times. Even an ant hiding for that long would have had to come out for food. Yet for over a month, there had been no movement, and the city gates were unusually quiet.
The Xi Yan embassy had also been under surveillance for many days, but not a single suspicious person was seen.
They knew better than anyone whether or not the embassy had any hiding places.
