Sui Sui's voice continued, "Master, the baby's heartbeat is unstable. Master, please don't get too excited. Your movements were too erratic just now, which affected the baby."
Because Sui Sui noticed something was wrong with the baby immediately, she released some spiritual power to protect the fetus, which is why she didn't notice the abnormality in her lower abdomen in time.
Mu Chenshuang then sat cross-legged on the thick tree trunk, took a deep breath to calm her mind, and slowly channeled her inner energy to stabilize the fetus while resisting the chill emanating from the forest.
"Sui Sui, how about we stay here?"
Sui Sui nodded happily, "This place is very good, full of spiritual energy."
Mu Chenshuang leaned against the tree trunk, bent her left leg, placed one hand on her knee, tilted her head back slightly, calmed her breathing, and began to close her eyes to rest.
Sui Sui, in spirit form, lay peacefully asleep on Mu Chen Shuang's head, absorbing the spiritual energy of the mountains.
Right now.
Standing not far from the tree, a pair of golden eyes were fixed on the red figure leaning against the tree trunk. Her ink-black hair fluttered in the wind, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the woman's quiet and beautiful profile. She was stunningly beautiful, like a painting, and seemed unreal.
Fu Junheng stood with his hands behind his back, quietly watching. Everything around him seemed to have become nothingness, except for that touch of red.
Mu Chenshuang was completely unaware that someone was watching her.
Time passed by, and the sky gradually darkened, with the temperature dropping lower and lower.
A cold wind howled, leaves rustled, and danger lurked silently within.
Mu Chenshuang's eyelids trembled slightly, her brows furrowed, and she looked wary. She clearly sensed that there were quite a few people approaching her.
This is probably aimed at her.
She remained motionless, her eyes closed, her expression composed and serene, as if she had not noticed anything amiss.
Sudden.
Several sharp arrows were shot towards Mu Chenshuang, and the killing intent instantly filled the air.
Mu Chenshuang suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze sharp. Before she could retaliate, the attacking arrow was snapped in two by a leaf that had pierced through it.
Mu Chenshuang was startled.
Immediately afterwards.
A dark blue figure suddenly appeared beside her.
Mu Chenshuang stared at the man who had appeared before her in surprise, "You..."
The man didn't leave; could it be that he's been following her the whole time?
However, before she could recover from her shock, a strong force grabbed her waist, and with a spin, the black-clad man wielding a sword who was attacking her was kicked away by Fu Junheng.
immediately.
The men in black, hidden in the forest, launched a fierce attack, raining down arrows like locusts.
Fu Junheng broke off a tree branch, gathered his inner strength, and with a flick of the branch, a powerful force deflected the arrow back.
Cries of pain rang out, and Mu Chenshuang quickly retaliated against the archer.
Fu Junheng's brows furrowed as he watched Mu Chenshuang's actions.
A black-clad figure hidden in the shadows was seen aiming a bow and arrow at Mu Chenshuang.
"careful."
As Mu Chenshuang turned to dodge the attack, Fu Junheng suddenly appeared in front of her, catching her and landing her steadily on the ground. He let out a muffled cry of pain.
"Fu Junheng!"
Mu Chenshuang didn't have time to think much before she saw that his arm was bleeding, and the fabric at the edges was already soaked.
Seeing Fu Junheng injured, the men in black were filled with righteous indignation and pressed their advantage to launch an attack on them.
Sudden.
The leader of the men in black had his throat slit.
The man wielding the longsword flashed past, his crimson blood splattering across the sky, yet his sword remained unstained, like a god of death in the dark night, inspiring fear in all who beheld him.
The men in black were intimidated by this imposing aura and dared not attack rashly.
After a shout of retreat, the black-clad man who had been spared fled quickly.
He didn't give chase. He sheathed his sword, flipped over, and landed steadily in front of Mu Chen Shuang. The murderous intent in his eyes vanished instantly, replaced by tenderness as he looked at her with concern. "Are you hurt anywhere?"
Mu Chenshuang gazed at Shen Nanzhi's handsome and composed face, and the light in his eyes when he looked at her was just like the memory in her mind.
How desperate he would be if he knew that Mu Chenshuang, his childhood sweetheart, was no longer there.
"I'm fine," Mu Chenshuang replied. "You...why are you here?"
Shen Nanzhi replied, "After I finished speaking with His Majesty, I went to look for you, but you were not in the tent. I happened to run into the young lady of the Prime Minister's residence, who said you had gone up the mountain, so I rushed over to check on you. I'm glad you're alright, Shuang'er."
Mu Chenshuang raised her lips slightly and responded.
For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
The injured man beside him seemed to have been completely forgotten. Fu Junheng's pupils contracted slightly as he watched the two of them gazing at each other tenderly. Beneath his handsome face, which was devoid of any discernible emotion, a certain feeling was surging, while his eyes remained unusually cold.
Mu Chenshuang seemed to sense something and glanced at Fu Junheng, her gaze falling on his injured area. Because of Fu Junheng's special physical condition, if his injuries were not treated in time, the wounds were very easy to become infected.
"Crown Prince Junheng has been injured and needs to return to the palace for treatment as soon as possible."
Just as Mu Chenshuang was about to speak, Shen Nanzhi spoke first, his words implying that he should go back first.
Fu Junheng's deep, dark golden eyes met Shen Nanzhi's. The two were evenly matched in terms of physique, height, and imposing aura.
Their eyes met, and an invisible undercurrent was surging within them.
