Watson frowned, trying to sort out his thoughts. He knew that this question was very important to Gu Yufei, and he didn't want to give a wrong answer easily.

Watson took a deep breath, looked into Gu Yufei's eyes, and said honestly: "Princess, the prince consort did talk to me about some things, but whether he clearly expressed his affection for you is my speculation."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Gu Yufei's eyes, but she quickly concealed it and said with a smile, "It's okay, Watson. Thank you for your honesty. Since the prince consort didn't say it himself, I'll just treat what you said just now as a joke."

Watson felt a little guilty. He actually felt that the two of them were attracted to each other. But why didn't he confess his feelings? Perhaps the prince consort had other plans.

Watson said softly, "Miss Qiu Shuang, if you want to know the Prince Consort's true thoughts, perhaps you should communicate with him directly."

Gu Yufei stood there, her brows furrowed, thinking to herself. An idea flashed through her mind. If Duan Yu could help her, perhaps they could return to Jiang State more smoothly.

With Duan Yu's ability, he will definitely be able to find a solution to the problem.

Gu Yufei took a deep breath and calmed herself down.

Gu Yufei said softly, "Watson, I have an idea. Maybe you can help us return to Jiang Country more smoothly." Her voice was gentle and sincere.

Watson raised his head and looked at Gu Yufei, with a hint of doubt in his eyes. He didn't know why Gu Yufei suddenly made such a request, but he nodded and motioned Gu Yufei to continue.

Gu Yufei explained their current predicament and her ideas to Watson in detail. She believed that Duan Yu could find a safe way for them to return home.

"Miss Qiu Shuang, wait until you meet the prince consort and then make this request to him. I believe he will agree." Watson analyzed based on his experience.

Gu Yufei suppressed her pounding heart. She came to Gu Yunfei and the others and persuaded them to go with Watson.

Under Watson's guidance, Gu Yufei and Gu Yunfei carefully returned to Duan Yu's military camp. Duan Yu had been waiting for a long time and had specifically instructed Watson to have them wear Du Guo's military uniforms to conceal their whereabouts.

Gu Yufei and Gu Yunfei quickly changed into their military uniforms, their postures erect and their eyes determined. The color and style of the uniforms were completely different from what they had worn before, but they did not feel uncomfortable at all, as if they had long been accustomed to this disguise.

After donning their uniforms, they blended seamlessly into the atmosphere of the military camp. They marched alongside the other soldiers, their steps in perfect order and with strict discipline. No one would doubt their identities, as their appearance and demeanor were indistinguishable from those of genuine Duguo soldiers.

When Duan Yu saw Gu Yufei, a hint of surprise flashed across his face, but he quickly controlled his emotions and pretended to be calm as he continued to walk forward. He didn't want Gu Yufei to see his excitement, nor did he want her to think that he cared about her.

However, his pace could not help but quicken, the desire in his heart driving him closer to Gu Yufei. When he reached Gu Yufei, he stopped and said lightly: "Long time no see."

"It's been some time..." Gu Yufei's expression was a little unnatural.
