Chu Qianchen's eyes were sore and her gaze slowly moved downwards. At the front of the team was a figure that was so familiar that it was almost engraved in her bones. He just bumped into her field of vision.

The young man in silver armor rode a black horse with its hooves stepping on the snow, and his crow-feather-like black hair was tied up with a black gold carved flower crown.

As he got closer, his face became clearer. His eyebrows were as dark as ink, his eyes were as bright as stars, his nose was high and straight, his thin lips were pure red, and his beautiful facial features made up a face that was extremely handsome.

The armor on his body made him look heroic, like a bright and cold moon, awe-inspiring and unapproachable, with a hint of dignity in his coldness.

The golden sunlight poured gently on him, and the silver armor reflected a layer of dazzling light, as if he was a god descending to earth.

At this moment, everything around seemed to have lost its color.

There were more than a hundred people in this group, but in Chu Qianchen's eyes, he only saw this one person.

It’s the prince!

Gu Jue, Gu Jiuxia.

Chu Qianchen silently repeated his name in her heart, staring at him intently, her eyes filled with tears, which kept sliding down her white jade face.

She finally saw him again.

In her previous life, when she was kicked out of the Chu family, she had nothing and was helpless.

At that time, she was raised to be cowardly and mediocre, and she didn't even have the ability to survive on her own.

It was he who picked her up and taught her carefully... allowing her to be reborn from the ashes like a phoenix, and become what she is today.

Chu Qianchen's eyes were dazed for a moment, and his eyes were blurred with tears.

She started studying medicine for him, but it was too late by then. She couldn't save him and could only watch him getting weaker and weaker until he died.

When Gu Jue died, she was in agony and felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.

She felt that the world was unfair. He was such a good person, why did he die instead of someone else?

Master Lin Miao once said that people are good at forgetting. No matter how deep the wound is or how intense the pain is, it will heal one day, and her pain will eventually heal.

However, the wound in her heart caused by him never healed.

After his death, her only goal in life is to avenge him!

And she did it!

Chu Qianchen's gaze followed his figure without blinking, and the noise around him was blocked out.

At this moment, Chu Qianchen was grateful to God for allowing her to be reborn at this time and giving her the opportunity to see him again.

Gu Jue on the horse seemed to sense something. When passing by Ya Ming Teahouse, he looked up. His eyes were sharp, releasing a fierce murderous aura, like a sharp sword being unsheathed, with chilling air all around. It was the murderous aura that came from fighting on the battlefield and experiencing the trials of life and death.

Chu Qianchen subconsciously retracted his head and patted his chest lightly.

Almost got discovered!

The prince is still so perceptive!

Chu Qianchen was a little slow to realize, why was she hiding?

She could just look at it openly like the people on the street!

Chu Qianchen felt as if something had exploded in her mind, and everything went blank. At this moment, Amber's excited voice rang in her ears: "Girl, the King of Chen is over there, should we throw a few flowers down there as well?"

Chu Qianchen finally came back to his senses and looked out the window with burning eyes.

On the street, the people were throwing fresh flowers, silk flowers, handkerchiefs, etc. towards Gu Jue's team, like a colorful rain of flowers falling.

Yes! Everyone else is throwing flowers, so she wants to throw too!

Chu Qianchen was just about to ask Amber for flowers when she heard Amber say in annoyance, "It's a pity that I didn't bring any flowers, young lady. How about I ask the waiter?"

Why didn't I think of preparing flowers in advance? Chu Qianchen was annoyed for a moment. It would definitely be too late to ask the waiter for flowers now, so she simply took off her sachet!

Although this sachet was not embroidered by her, the spices inside were mixed by her herself!

Chu Qianchen quickly leaned out of the window again and threw the purple sachet towards Gu Jue, then quickly retracted his head for fear of being discovered.

Her movements were as smooth as flowing water, fast and neat. Gu Jue on the horse only saw a pair of beautiful and clear phoenix eyes, with slightly red and misty eyes, as if she had just cried.

Immediately afterwards, a purple sachet was thrown towards him.

Then, the owner of the phoenix eyes disappeared.

On the way into the city, so many flowers, purses, and handkerchiefs were mostly thrown at Gu Jue. Gu Jue rode his horse slowly, and not a single leaf touched him. However, because of his phoenix eyes that were washed by tears, he was distracted for a moment, and the sachet fell on his left shoulder.

Gu Jue: “…”

He raised his eyebrows, reached out his hand and lightly brushed away the sachet on his shoulder, then rode his horse forward.

"Ninth Uncle, you haven't been back to the capital for four years. Father has been thinking about you."

Walking alongside Gu Jue was Gu Nanjin, the crown prince of the Great Qi Dynasty. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a bright yellow robe embroidered with five dragons. He had an elegant temperament and a smile on his lips, which made people feel good about him at first sight.

Gu Jue's handsome face was calm and expressionless, with no emotion to be seen. He said calmly, "Thank you for your concern, brother."

Gu Nanjin added: "My father has prepared a feast for Uncle Nine today to reward him for his hard work in guarding the North for four years."

Behind Gu Jue, there were nearly a hundred cavalrymen wearing all black armor. These were the ones who had returned from the north with Gu Jue.

The group drove towards the imperial palace amid the cheers of the people along the way.

Whenever a general returned to the capital, he had to first report to the palace and hand in the tiger talisman.

After an incense stick of time, Gu Jue and Gu Nanjin dismounted in front of the palace gate and were led into the Wuying Palace by a eunuch.

The Wuying Hall was magnificent and majestic, but on the white marble steps outside the hall, only the chief eunuch Chen Su was there.

The corners of Crown Prince Gu Nanjin's mouth twitched and his eyes flashed.

According to etiquette, at this time, the emperor should have brought all the civil and military officials here to welcome Gu Jue, and this was also written in the memorial submitted to the Ministry of Rites earlier.

Chen Su flicked her silver whisk, bowed to Gu Jue with a smile, and said in a shrill voice: "Your Highness, the Emperor has something urgent to attend to. I hope Your Highness will stay here for a while."

What this meant was that Gu Jue should stand in front of the Wuying Palace and wait to meet the emperor.
