Shuying caught up with him in small steps, her eyes like waves, looking at his resolute and cold face, she couldn't help but raise her thin eyebrows, "Your Highness, Miss Gu has delayed you for some time, please order Miss Gu to be sent back to the capital first."

"What about you?" Rong Zhen turned his head expressionlessly and looked at Shuying. His mind recalled the words Gu Yunru said. She only had a few days left. She might be gone before she even reached the post station.

"Ahem, Your Majesty, don't worry. Shuying is only worried about Miss Gu." Shuying's pretty face turned pale, her bright eyes gently circled around Rong Zhen, and then she whispered softly, "Shuying was born with a short life. I am very grateful to Miss Gu for being able to meet Your Majesty this time."

"Don't say that. I will have the doctor heal you and send you back to the palace."

Shuying felt a little tangled in her heart. From his tone, it seemed that he didn't want her to stay here at all. She lowered her eyelids dejectedly, sighed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, the deep palace is just a gorgeous prison for me. If I can accompany you, you, Shuying is willing to do anything."

Looking at her determined and bright eyes, the loneliness on Rong Zhen's face did not dissipate for a moment.

Rong Zhen returned to the front of the camp, and Huang Zijun walked in and bowed to report the latest progress of tomorrow's itinerary. In short, the journey can't be delayed any longer, and seeing that the sandstorm is about to come, everyone must hurry to the post station.

The next morning, when Gu Yunru opened her eyes, she found Qingxing looking at her with a worried look on her face. She smiled and said, "I'm not dead yet?"

"Miss, what nonsense are you talking about? You are very lucky and will live to be a hundred years old."

Tears flashed in Qingxing's eyes, but when she heard the young lady's nonsense, she forced herself to hold them back. As she spoke, she wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, and at this time Huang Zijun also walked in from outside with some dry food in his hand.

"My lady, the prince specially appointed me to stay here to take care of you before you set off. I wonder if you are going to go to the post station or return to the capital next." Gu Yunru frowned and looked at Qingxing and said, "What does he mean? Has Rong Zhen abandoned us and left first?"

Qing Xing pursed her lips and nodded awkwardly, "Yes, because everyone has to hurry, the prince took them back to the post station first. Um...Miss, then shall we go back to Beijing?"

Qingxing was not quite sure about the young lady's idea, so she waited until the young lady woke up before asking for her opinion.

Huang Zijun is a loyal and honest man, and he is also very skilled in martial arts. Gu Yunru was flattered that he sent such a big figure to protect her.

When asked about Shuying's whereabouts, it turned out that she had followed the prince's team. It was unclear whether she was worried about Rong Zhen or Shuying. Gu Yunru looked at Huang Zijun with a firm face and said, "Take me to the post station."

She obviously felt that her body had recovered a lot. After packing her luggage, she started riding on the horse and rushed to the post station.

Not far away, there was a purple figure staring at their direction. No one expected that Gu Yunru could actually hold on all the way to the end of the competition.

There was a flash of coldness and murderous intent in Zi Luo's eyes, causing beads of sweat to flow down from between her brows.

"General Huang, why haven't I seen you in the palace before?" Gu Yunru and Huang Zijun and others rode side by side on horses and chatted along the way, which could also relieve their boredom. Huang Zijun looked ahead, not smiling.

"I have been working at the post station and the Security Office, managing the affairs of the Saiwai merchant caravan. I just returned to the court recently, but I didn't expect that there would be chaos on the border as soon as I returned. So, Your Majesty, please prepare to quell the rebellion yourself."

After saying this, Gu Yunru nodded thoughtfully.

Qing Xing looked shy and awkward all the way, which was somewhat inconsistent with her usual silly image. He knew that she had someone in her heart, but Huang Zijun was unromantic and a steely straight man, even steelier than Rong Zhen.

"I wonder how old General Huang is and whether he is married?"

Gu Yunru asked him loudly. Looking at his three-dimensional profile, his long sword-like eyebrows were deep in his temples, and his lips were tightly pursed, it seemed that he had never smiled before.

When Huang Zijun heard Gu Yunru's question, he lowered his head somewhat unnaturally and said, "Not yet."

"Not yet. I heard that General Huang followed the prince since he was young. He must be about the same age. Now that he is this old, shouldn't he get married?"

Qingxing followed behind Gu Yunru, her face as red as an apple. She would cover her face and cough from time to time, trying to remind Gu Yunru not to ask about everything.

Huang Zijun's face inevitably turned red, and he looked straight ahead, pretending not to hear anything. This Huang Zijun really has no sense of humor at all. I don't know what Qingxing sees in him.

As they walked, they saw a purple shadow standing in the golden desert. Gu Yunru stared at the purple shadow and soon remembered that it was she who killed Xiuyun and wanted to take her life. Seeing this, Qingxing hurriedly said, "General Huang, be careful ahead."

Huang Zijun slowly raised his head, his deep tiger eyes staring at the purple figure motionlessly, and slowly walked towards her, "Who are you?"

What deep hatred did this woman in purple have against her that she never let her go all the way? Her pair of charming eyes were very bright, as if she had seen her somewhere before. If her veil was taken off, she might be able to recognize her. Her slightly cold eyes clearly revealed a cold murderous aura.

"You don't need to know who I am." The woman's voice was very low, as if she was deliberately disguising. Gu Yunru stared at her figure, and some fragments flashed through his mind, but he was not sure.

"I remember now. It's you who wants to harm Miss Gu." Huang Zijun narrowed his eyes and quickly recognized the person. He held the hilt of the knife in his hand, waiting for the other party to unsheathe it.

Zi Luo raised the corner of her mouth coldly, and suddenly threw out a few silver needles from her sleeves. The silver needles were so small that they were difficult to distinguish, but Huang Zijun quickly knocked them to the ground. Unfortunately, Qing Xing was hit by a needle in the shoulder and soon fell down.

"Qing Xing!" Seeing her fall heavily into the desert, Gu Yunru hurriedly dismounted and helped her up. Fortunately, the silver needle did not contain any poison, but was coated with a knockout drug that would make people faint.

Huang Zijun and the purple woman started fighting, and the situation was difficult to determine the winner for a while. She then dragged Qingxing to a shady place and removed the silver needle from her shoulder.

"Qingxing, wake up!" Gu Yunru slapped her face fiercely, but Qingxing didn't react at all, as if she was soundly asleep. He had no choice but to take off the hairpin on her head. She had specially set a mechanism on the hairpin, which had a silver needle.

He slowly inserted the silver needle into her vagina. Qingxing blinked and finally responded. On the other side, Zi Luo knew that she was no match for Huang Zijun, so she released a smoke bomb and disappeared in the golden warm sun.
