As the two descended the mountain, they encountered soldiers who were searching for them.
Feng Ji saw the two of them and leaped to their side. "It seems that Princess Weiyang and General Shen are alright."
Mu Chenshuang responded and explained, "Last night, a sudden heavy snow fell on the mountain. We were chased by wild animals and couldn't get down the mountain for a while. Fortunately, there was a cave where we could hide."
The three of them were not at the camp last night, and the emperor probably already knows that. Feng Ji must have come up the mountain to look for them.
"It's good that you're alright. Where is Crown Prince Junheng?"
Shen Nanzhi replied, "The wild beast we encountered last night was controlled by someone. To prevent it from harming people again, we split up for the time being. However, we haven't found anything unusual along the way. I wonder what the situation is like for Crown Prince Junheng now."
Feng Ji wasn't worried, but he was puzzled. Was Jun Heng deliberately letting the two of them be alone?
Just as he was about to say something, he noticed the ribbon wrapped around Mu Chenshuang's hand out of the corner of his eye. He looked down and recognized it at a glance as the eye band that Fu Junheng wore.
"Princess Weiyang is injured?"
Mu Chenshuang subconsciously raised her hand. She felt flustered when Feng Ji stared at her, and her hand tightened involuntarily. She didn't know what she had to be flustered about.
"It's just a minor injury."
Feng Jiqian's lips curled up, revealing a smile that was hard to decipher.
"It's good that you're alright. Then you two should go down the mountain and report the situation to His Majesty. I'll go find Crown Prince Junheng first."
"good."
As soon as Mu Chenshuang and Shen Nan descended the mountain, they went to pay their respects to the emperor.
Feng Guche breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that the two were unharmed.
Shen Nanzhi reported the situation from yesterday.
"Crown Prince Junheng should be fine; Prince Xiaoyao has already gone to look for him."
Feng Guche looked at Mu Chenshuang with concern and asked, "Chenshuang, why did you go up the mountain without permission yesterday?"
Mu Chenshuang nodded and said in a steady tone, "Yesterday, the wild beast suddenly became frenzied. I went up the mountain to investigate the situation. I am guilty for not informing Your Majesty in advance."
Shen Nanzhi continued, "I was worried that Shuang'er might be in danger, so I went up the mountain to look for her."
It is understandable that Shen Nan is worried about Chen Shuang.
Junheng's reason for going up the mountain is probably the same as Shen Nanzhi's.
Instantly.
Feng Guche's eyes deepened, and his gaze toward Mu Chenshuang became more intense.
He sternly reprimanded Mu Chenshuang, "Alright, you were frightened last night, go and get some rest."
"yes."
Mu Chenshuang and Shen Nanzhi turned and left the royal tent. As soon as they stepped out, they saw Feng Xilan waiting outside the tent.
Shen Nanzhi met his gaze, his expression serious, his eyes dark, and then he respectfully bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Feng Xilan glanced at Mu Chenshuang and saw that she seemed unharmed, which relieved him. Even though he knew she and Shen Nanzhi were here, he still didn't know what he was doing here.
"General Shen, there's no need for such formalities."
Feng Xilan didn't say much.
Shen Nanzhi and Mu Chenshuang then took their leave.
Feng Xilan stood still, her hands clenched tightly behind her back.
Shen Nanzhi escorted Mu Chenshuang back to her tent. He wanted to say something to her, but didn't want to disturb her rest, so he said, "I'll come see you again at noon."
Mu Chenshuang responded.
Mu Chenshuang returned to her tent and had only rested for a short while when Feng Ji suddenly found her and said that Fu Junheng had suffered a backlash from the poison due to overuse of his internal energy.
Mu Chenshuang was shocked. Fu Junheng could not exert his internal energy excessively due to the poisoning, but after the last treatment, he could use his internal energy steadily. Just who was the other party that could make him exert his internal energy beyond the limit, causing a backlash from the poison?
