Mu Chenshuang stared in surprise at the man before her. He had wheat-colored skin, an extraordinary appearance, and a pair of deep, weathered eyes.
Images of the once handsome and dashing young man flashed through her mind; now he was calm and resolute, and the starlight in his eyes had turned into deep wisdom.
Shen Nanzhi looked at the stunned woman in his arms, a smile curving his lips. "Shuang'er, it's been a long time."
A simple sentence, yet it contains so much emotion.
Mu Chenshuang blinked and came back to her senses, replying, "Long time no see."
At this moment.
Feng Guche and Shen Biyun walked over quickly.
Shen Nan released Mu Chenshuang's waist, turned around and walked towards Feng Guche, kneeling on one knee with his fists clasped, "Your subject pays respects to Your Majesty and Your Majesty the Empress."
Feng Guche stepped forward to help Shen Nanzhi up, "Get up quickly, get up quickly, Nanzhi, you must be tired from your journey."
Shen Biyun asked with concern, "Were you injured just now?"
"Your Majesty, I am unharmed."
With the arrival of Shen Nanzhi, everyone's attention was focused on this young and promising general. He was of noble birth and had already achieved great success at the age of 21. He had countless military achievements and was another young and promising general with both literary and military talents after the Prince of Xiaoyao.
Feng Guche ordered a thorough investigation into the beast's rage, as it was in a fit of rage. To be on the safe side, the investigation would be conducted today, and the hunt would resume tomorrow.
Feng Guche patted Shen Nanzhi on the shoulder, his eyes showing his high regard for this talented general. "Nanzhi, come with me and tell me about the border affairs."
"yes."
As Shen Nanzhi followed, he glanced back at Mu Chenshuang, his emotions undisguised.
Mu Chenshuang was at a loss for words. She was no longer the Mu Chenshuang he had known since childhood.
Shen Nanzhi turned around and met Mu Chenshuang's gaze, a tender and affectionate sight in the eyes of everyone.
Everyone knows that the two were childhood sweethearts, a perfect match made in heaven.
Unable to accept the fact that Mu Chenshuang had become the Crown Princess, Shen Nanzhi resolutely stayed to guard the border. Now that Mu Chenshuang and the Crown Prince have divorced, Shen Nanzhi is rushing back to the capital. His purpose is obvious.
Even though Mu Chenshuang is divorced, she is still the white moonlight in the heart of the chosen one, how can this not make people envious and jealous.
Especially at this moment, Xiao Qingyu and Mu Yazhi were praying that the black bear could kill Mu Chenshuang with one swipe of its paw.
Only Xue Jiajia stepped forward to inquire about Mu Chenshuang's condition, asking, "Are you alright?"
Mu Chenshuang looked away and said to Xue Jiajia, "I'm fine."
Xue Jiajia nudged Mu Chenshuang with her shoulder, "General Chen is back, are you happy?"
Mu Chenshuang did not answer her question, but said indifferently, "Miss Xue also likes to listen to gossip?"
Xue Jiajia said without any hesitation, "Of course." Then, she tiptoed and whispered in Mu Chenshuang's ear, "Crown Prince Junheng rushed to save you immediately, but unfortunately he was a step too late for General Chen."
Everyone else was terrified and ran away, but Xue Jiajia was brave and stood still, so she clearly saw Fu Junheng rush forward.
Upon hearing Xue Jiajia's words, Mu Chenshuang looked at Fu Junheng, only to see him walking straight towards her with a somber and unfathomable expression.
Fu Junheng stopped in front of Mu Chenshuang, looked down at her, and asked, "Are you injured?"
His husky, magnetic voice didn't convey much emotion.
Mu Chenshuang looked up at him and said calmly, "It's nothing."
Their eyes met, and a brief silence ensued, making it impossible to discern the emotions hidden within Fu Junheng's eyes.
Fu Junheng said nothing more, turned around and left, his aloof figure indifferent and distant.
Feng Ji stepped forward and said with concern, "Princess Weiyang, go back to your tent and rest well. Don't hurt yourself."
After Feng Ji finished speaking, he followed Fu Junheng's footsteps. He didn't dare to get too close because he could clearly feel that Fu Junheng was in a bad mood.
Xue Jiajia originally wanted Mu Chenshuang to teach her archery, but Mu Chenshuang suddenly said, "I want to go into the mountains to take a look."
Xue Jiajia was shocked. "Are you crazy? You were almost killed by a single palm strike just now. Who knows if there are any angry wild beasts in the mountains?"
Mu Chenshuang didn't say anything. Her purpose in coming here was to go deep into the forest so that Sui Sui could absorb enough spiritual energy.
The toxins in her body were gradually cleared, and her internal strength was restored to 80-90%, enough to resist the cold air in the forest.
Just then, she was going to investigate the reason why the black bear suddenly went berserk. In that instant, she clearly realized that the black bear was provoked into anger by someone, but it just so happened that it rushed in angrily when she was alone.
It's hard to believe this is just a coincidence.
After resting in her tent, Mu Chenshuang went into the mountains alone.
The deeper you go into the mountains, the stronger the spiritual energy becomes.
Sui Sui felt the abundant spiritual energy and woke up from its slumber. It happily absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy and its spirit was immediately refreshed, but it still sensed that something was wrong.
"Master, Master, I sense the restless aura of wild beasts in this forest."
Mu Chenshuang flipped and leaped, landing on the tree trunk. She lowered her eyes and sensed the surrounding atmosphere.
