Seeing Shen Jinchen's life hanging in the balance, Cen Xi was already panicked and furious. She never expected that a dog she had always ignored would start barking at her like that; she was never one to swallow her anger.

Even though she's exhausted now, she's still more than capable of dealing with a high-ranking Ser.

She reached out and instantly grabbed Shang Se's neck, saying coldly:

"Did I ask him to save me? It was your master who insisted on risking his life to save me. I've disliked you for a long time. Don't think I didn't hear your usual nonsense outside. I used to just disdain fighting with a small fry like you. Today you're asking for death, and I won't stop you."

After saying these words, Cen Xi threw Shang Se down the city wall without hesitation.

Seeing this, Fengqin quickly flew down to catch Shangse, saying, "Madam, please don't take it to heart. He's just angry because he saw that the young master was injured."

"It's only been a few months, but your relationship with him has progressed rapidly! He still needs to find a quiet place to heal his injuries. Come back to Governor Jun's residence with me!"

After seeing what Shen Jinchen, the guard, had done, Jun Jianchou finally understood what had happened. His initial jealousy subsided somewhat, and he finally said something normal.

"Okay, he really won't die?"

"Okay! I'll carry him, you come with me."

Jun Jianchou nodded, picked up the unconscious Shen Jinchen, and stepped down from the city wall.

"good."

After Cen Xi responded, he quickly followed Jun Jianchou toward the residence of Governor Jun.

That night, Shangyang City was initially besieged at all four gates. However, thanks to Prime Minister Shen's prior preparations, he mobilized troops outside the city to launch a counter-siege against the rebels. Furthermore, Cen Xi and Jun Xiaoqiao intervened. A massive siege battle ended with lightning speed.

The people and soldiers in the city were all dumbfounded. They originally thought the plague would take their lives, but the plague was quickly eradicated by Governor Shen and Governor Jun with swift and decisive measures.

After the plague ended, they thought they would die in the chaos of war again, but the war ended at dawn and the enemy returned empty-handed.

Such good news instantly dispelled the worries of the people surrounding the city. The next day, some people even volunteered to help the soldiers clean up the battlefield.

The three people who were truly holding off the enemy's main force are now in a bad situation.

Shen Jinchen is still in a coma. Even though Jun Jianchou treated his internal organs, his high fever persists.

Cen Xi felt an unprecedented panic. She still remembered the fear she felt last night when the arrow pierced Shen Jinchen's body—an extreme fear of losing him. It was the fear of losing the one she loved.

She had never believed that he cared about this person before.

And this time…

His selfless rescue seemed to have disrupted some kind of balance. She feared she would never be able to say it again, that she had no connection with this person whatsoever, and yet Jun Jianchou had returned.

As for Jun Jianchou, after returning to the Jun family, before he could even indulge in some melancholy, he had to save Shen Jinchen under Cen Xi's burning gaze. The past was gone, and even if his feelings remained, he probably couldn't bring himself to say them. Even if he was unwilling and wanted to utter his questions, he couldn't ask them in front of Shen Jinchen now.

Last night, when Jun Xiaoqiao arrived at the North Gate, the enemy's offensive was fierce, and it seemed the gate was about to fall. Just as he was preparing for a desperate last stand, the chaotic troops outside the city were surrounded. Within two hours, the soldiers inside and outside the city, working together, completely encircled the enemy.

Overjoyed, she was about to go and tell Cen Xi about it when she heard that Cen Xi had encountered a formidable enemy. Shen Jinchen had been seriously injured while protecting her and had now been taken back to the Junci residence by Jun Jianchou.

She had no choice but to compose herself and hurriedly ran towards Governor Jun's residence. As soon as she entered, she encountered Jun Jianchou and a young boy sitting opposite each other.

"You're so spineless, saving your rival in love. No wonder your mother ran off with someone else."

Jun Xiaoqiao, a little girl of about six years old, rested her chin on her hand and looked at Jun Jianchou with disdain.

"He's not your mother. And don't talk to your master like that. I can save my rival if I want to. What does it have to do with you, little brat?"

Jun Jianchou looked at him, his words sharp and uncompromising.

"Tch, all talk and no action. I don't believe you can watch my mother and that person get along without getting annoyed."

Upon hearing Jun Jianchou's words, the little boy rolled his eyes and unleashed a sarcastic remark without any hesitation.

"So what if you're an eyesore or not? You little brat, mind your own business and don't worry about the rest."

Jun Jianchou stood up, glared at the child, and then prepared to leave.

"Cousin, you're back?"

When Jun Xiaoqiao saw that he was about to leave in anger, she quickly stopped him and greeted him with a smile.

She had heard that Jun Jianchou was a reincarnation of Yu Kuang, and that they were relatives in their previous life and in this life as well. It would be a shame not to greet this Gui Jianchou.

So they had to chat for a bit, especially since he knew in his past life that Yu Kuang liked Cen Xi, and now Shen Jinchen was injured because of Chen Xi.

This tangled and complicated relationship, hmm! It certainly kept her gossipy heart burning. So right now, she really wanted to know what was going on in the mind of this person she had secretly loved for so long, pursued for two lifetimes, and even let slip away the cooked duck.

"Um!"

Jun Jianchou glanced at him, wondering which family's young lady she was. Since he didn't know her anyway, he simply nodded and greeted her.

"You don't recognize me?"

Seeing how cold he was, not even willing to give her a second glance, Jun Xiaoqiao opened her mouth so wide it could have swallowed a goose egg.

"Who are you? Why would my master know you? You really are a woman, always trying to chat up my master. Indeed, this world is full of shameless women."

Before Jun Jianchou could speak, the boy next to him spoke up indignantly.

"You, you, you...you little brat, how can you be so ill-mannered? What shameless woman? I'm his cousin, cousin, okay!"

When the little boy finished speaking, Jun Xiaoqiao almost fainted from shock. She just wanted to have a good chat with Yu Kuang and maybe tease this frustrated man a bit. She never expected the little boy to mistake her for a shallow woman.

"Cousin? There are many women in the Jun family. I rarely stay at the Jun family's house, so I don't know you. May I ask which branch of the family you are from?"

When Jun Jianchou heard that he was his cousin, his resentment lessened a bit.

"Yu Jin's daughter, Yu Weiwei, now you know, right? I know everything about you and Cen Xi!"

Jun Xiaoqiao plopped down next to Jun Xiaoqiao and said.

"Yu Jin's daughter, Yu Weiwei?"

When Jun Jianchou heard her say those words, he immediately felt a strange sense of familiarity. It was like a feeling from a very modern past life.

Then he blurted out:

"You're a time traveler too?"
