"yes."
Those people immediately scattered.
Fang Mu was stunned. The person who came was not the one who was chasing him, but his master Chi Mu.
He tried his best and threw the sword in his hand hard to the ground, making a noise.
The sound quickly startled the people nearby.
A group of them surrounded Fang Mu and approached him cautiously, and finally confirmed his identity within three steps.
"Master Fang Mu!"
There was joy in the man's voice, and he quickly brought the person to Chi Mu.
"Your Majesty, we have found Master Fang Mu."
Chi Mu also squatted down and reached out to touch Fang Mu's forehead. "Fortunately, he doesn't have a fever. Let's take him back to our camp first."
The group returned to their temporary camp.
At this moment Fang Mu had already fallen asleep.
An unknown amount of time had passed before he woke up and saw the unfamiliar surroundings. He was very alert and wanted to take his sword, but found that it was missing.
He cautiously lifted the tent, only to see his brothers warming themselves around a nearby fire.
Although he also saw Chi Mu in the crowd.
He took two quick steps forward and knelt on the ground, looking a little choked up.
"Greetings, Your Majesty. It's all my fault. If I had been faster, I wouldn't have... Is Your Majesty injured?"
Chi Mu waved his hand, "How is Shen Yuerong? Has she escaped the control of the General's Mansion? Where is she now? Has she been placed in the palace?"
During the days he was trapped here, the hesitant look on Chen Yuerong's face that day kept echoing in his mind.
Only now did he understand that Shen Yuerong might have sincerely wanted to ask him for help at that moment, but was afraid of getting him into trouble.
"Miss Shen has already escaped from the general's mansion and successfully divorced the general. She is now temporarily living in the Shen family. I left Taohua by her side, so it shouldn't be a big deal."
When he heard that Taohua was protecting Shen Yuerong, he felt relieved.
"That's good."
Seeing this, Fang Mu expressed his doubts.
"Your Majesty, there is something I don't know whether I should tell you or not."
"you say."
"I have been following you all the way, looking for the prince's whereabouts, but I have never found him. I have encountered many assassinations along the way, and even met him. If my guess is correct, all of this is the work of the prince."
"That's right."
Chi Mu took a pot of hot wine from the hand of his subordinate beside him and handed it to Fang Mu.
"This bamboo forest is a little strange. The temperature is too low. Drink some hot wine to warm yourself up before continuing to talk."
"yes."
Fang Mu took two or three gulps of hot wine, and his body gradually felt warmer.
"This group of people were originally going to deal with other things, and dealing with the subordinates was just a convenience, but later, their target became the subordinates."
Fang Mu couldn't figure this out no matter what.
He shouldn't be the target of these people.
"Perhaps it's because they can't find me, and they think you're my confidant, so finding you is like finding me."
These people are quite smart.
"When does the prince plan to return?"
"We will set off tomorrow."
He had wanted to leave a long time ago, but someone found traces of Fang Mu in the bamboo forest, so he spent a few more days looking for Fang Mu?
They were almost chasing each other, forming a closed loop, but after a long time, no one found each other.
"Then let me go and explore the way for you, my Lord?"
Chi Mu shook his head. "There are so many people here, why would we need you? Just take care of your wounds."
"yes."
Chi Mu asked him to stay and sent others to scout the way ahead. Then the group rushed back to the capital at full speed.
On the way forward, we did not encounter much resistance and it was three days later when we arrived in the capital.
Chi Mu looked at the Shen family gate which had been repaired properly, and was in a dilemma for a moment.
At this moment, she is the only one left in the Shen family.
As a foreign man, it would be inappropriate for me to visit her rashly, but I would also feel uneasy if I couldn't see with my own eyes that she was doing the same as before.
"Your Majesty, won't you go in?"
A familiar voice came from behind him. He turned around and saw Taohua standing behind him.
Taohua was wearing the clothes that Shen Yuerong had just bought for her, and she looked quite like a daughter.
"Why are you dressed like this?"
From the time they met until now, Chi Mu had never seen his subordinates act like such a girl.
"The lady bought it for us. She said that she would treat us better no matter what. After all, we are not the only ones accompanying her now."
Chi Mu nodded knowingly, "Is she okay now?"
Taohua nodded, "If the prince is worried about the young lady, he can knock on the door and come in. It just so happens that the young lady asked about the prince a few days ago."
He was still somewhat hesitant.
After all, if he had paid more attention to the relationship between Shen Yuerong and Fu Hengyu before, perhaps this disaster could have been avoided.
"Fu Hengyu... is this embarrassing for her?"
Taohua was startled, but immediately responded, "He doesn't dare now."
He could instantly sense the nervousness and helplessness of the person in front of him. "You followed me out. I can tell what you are thinking at a glance. Did the general do something to let her down?"
"Yes, but the lady said...she hopes that these matters can be handled by her, so...it's not that I don't want to tell you."
Want to solve it yourself?
Chi Mu was stunned on the spot, then he said, "Since she wants to solve it herself, then let her do it. But you have to make sure she is safe and don't put her in danger again."
"I understand."
After hesitating for a while, Chi Mu finally did not knock on the door, nor did he follow Taohua. Instead, he turned around and went back to the palace.
Everything that happened that day was too coincidental, and the emperor's sudden dispatch seemed like an attempt to cover up the truth.
"Chen Gu, check for me what good things have happened in the capital recently? Especially His Majesty and the Crown Prince, what has the Crown Prince been doing recently?"
"I heard that... the prince seems to be getting very close to the prince's concubine recently. The two of them are in love with each other, which is really beautiful."
Addicted to women?
Only Your Majesty would believe this reason.
"Keep an eye on the prince. I feel like he has something to do with the incident at the General's Mansion. Let's investigate... who is the Du family?"
"Du, are you talking about... the concubine in the general's mansion? I have already checked her out and shown you the information. There is nothing special about her. If there is anything special about her... it is that she once danced for the crown prince."
"Dancing for the prince?"
"I heard that the daughter of the Du family has a unique palm dance, and her dancing posture is extremely beautiful and enviable, so the prince specially paid a large sum of money to get her."
