She leaned against Mu Beichen, her face expressionless and composed, only her eyes, which were fixed on him, held a hint of desolation and disappointment. She wrapped her arms around his neck and smiled slightly: "Even so, I am still very fortunate. At least in this palace where imperial power reigns supreme, Achen has always treated me very well. Even though I have withered away like a withered flower and fallen leaves in this palace, I have no regrets."
Mu Beichen's heart was pierced by these words. The pressure on her back grew heavier and heavier, and his deep voice slowly escaped his lips: "Yu Qianqian, please believe me just this once? As long as I am here, you will never have the chance to disappear from this world, and you will never leave me."
I believe in you, I have always had unwavering faith in you, simply because I have always loved you deeply — Mu Beichen.
Early the next morning, news came from outside the palace that Prince Han and a group of rebellious officials were plotting a rebellion in Prince Han's residence. They were captured on the spot. Yesterday, their plan was on the verge of success, but today they were like caged birds waiting to be killed.
Therefore, Mu Beichen was in an exceptionally good mood and specially arranged a hunting activity at Wuji Palace.
Behind Qingyun Temple, in the vast forest area before them, apart from a few guards standing quietly not far away, only he and Yu Qianqian were present. The two rode together on a horse, slowly heading straight into the lush green forest.
Mu Beichen didn't spend time dressing up as usual today. He simply tied his long black hair up with an ice-blue ribbon and wore an extremely light ice-blue brown outfit, which made him look exceptionally dashing and capable.
"Your Majesty, you deliberately kept us in suspense for so long, and so many people have been kept awake all morning by your arrival." Yu Qianqian turned around excitedly, her clear and bright eyes fixed on Mu Beichen, scrutinizing him carefully. "But judging from the current situation, it seems Your Majesty is preparing to show off your special skills." She rested her chin on her hand with amusement and said jokingly, "If that's the case, then I can feast my eyes today."
“These days, the autumn air is crisp and clear, perfect for riding and archery. Today, you and I can have a great time!” Mu Beichen said to her with great interest, while glancing away at something else.
Yu Qianqian was gazing at the distant scenery, lost in thought, when suddenly the person behind her cracked the whip and spurred the horse into a gallop. The sudden burst of speed stirred up fallen leaves that flew everywhere, mixing with sand and stones to obscure the distant view like a cloud, and making her sway and stagger.
Ahead, two figures galloped forward, their robes fluttering in the wind as they rode through the vast forest. The horse suddenly stopped at a rugged mountain pass, its neighing echoing in the air. Not far ahead lay a sheer cliff, only a few hundred meters away, yet the mist-shrouded cliff gave it an illusion of being impossibly far away.
Before they could regain their footing, a fiery red shadow flashed past their eyes from the foot of the mountain, like a spark of fire flying by in the wind.
"Come, let your husband teach you how to hunt, step by step." Mu Beichen finished speaking with a wicked smile, holding a bow and arrow in one hand and grasping Yu Qianqian's left hand. His gaze fell on the red fox that had disappeared into the distance. He aimed and aimed again, but before the arrow was released, another black figure rushed into their line of sight.
Yu Qianqian was startled and looked at the figure at the same time as Mu Beichen. She couldn't help but exclaim, "Look, what's that?"
