"There's nothing urgent today, so I'll go in and sit for a while." Shen Nanzhi's sword-like eyebrows relaxed, and he smiled gently.
Shen Nanzhi's smile was like a gentle breeze, and Linglong couldn't help but sigh in her heart that if it weren't for the appearance of Crown Prince Junheng, her young lady and General Shen would have been a very well-matched couple.
However, such thoughts only flashed through Linglong's mind. Mu Chenshuang and Fu Junheng were mutually in love and a match made in heaven. There was no one more suitable than them.
"General Shen, please come in." Linglong lowered her eyes, stepped over the threshold, and led the way.
Shen Nanzhi sat down only a few steps away from Mu Chenshuang, and from his angle, he could clearly see Mu Chenshuang's profile.
Soft light fell on Mu Chenshuang's delicate profile, her high nose bridge seemed to be shrouded in a halo, and her slowly trembling eyelashes were like two small brushes, as if a kitten's paws were scratching at his heart.
Shen Nanzhi was stunned for a moment, but fortunately, the clinic was busy and noisy, and his seat was in a very remote spot, so no one noticed him.
Mu Chenshuang spent the morning taking the pulses of three patients with difficult and complicated illnesses and prescribing medicine.
"Take the medicine according to my prescription. If you want to, you must stop eating meat, spicy food, and greasy food." Mu Chenshuang raised her eyebrows slightly and instructed a patient.
The patient left with a face full of gratitude. The clinic was closed for lunch, and Mu Chenshuang took advantage of the lunch break to walk behind the curtain to where Shen Nanzhi was sitting.
Mu Chenshuang was somewhat surprised that Shen Nanzhi had been sitting there all morning, neither having any urgent business to discuss with her nor willing to leave.
She had heard that Xishuangying was not as orderly as before, and Shen Nanzhi should have been very busy, but she did not expect that he would have the time and leisure to sit here and watch for a whole morning.
"Nanzhi, did something bad happen to you? Is there something you want to tell me?" Mu Chenshuang's dark, bright eyes shone with a gentle light, making Shen Nanzhi even more affectionate.
Shen Nanzhi smiled slightly and said half-jokingly, "If there's nothing wrong, can't I just sit down and see you?"
He was using a joke to express his true feelings. He wanted to say something more, but Mu Chenshuang leaned back slightly to avoid suspicion and straightened her posture.
"Nanzhi, stop joking. I'm being serious." Mu Chenshuang suddenly remembered the secret letters that Fu Junheng had given her, which contained correspondence between high-ranking officials of Jiang Kingdom and Tianzhao Kingdom.
She felt she should find a time to be honest with Shen Nanzhi about this and discuss what to do next.
Mu Chenshuang was about to speak, but then she thought about how crowded and unpleasant the clinic was, so she could only hesitate and say, "Some things are starting to look promising, but we still need to be careful."
Mu Chenshuang's voice was deep and her gaze was sharp. Shen Nanzhi was unconsciously suppressed by the aura she exuded, and subconsciously put aside his other thoughts, his handsome face becoming serious.
"Hmm." After a brief silence, he spoke about what had been bothering him these past few days, "There have been frequent personnel changes in the Xishuangying army recently, with unclear responsibilities and chaotic management. I have no choice but to come here to clear my head."
Although Shen Nanzhi didn't say some things explicitly, Mu Chenshuang understood them all at once.
It seems that after studying under Lord Mu in the army for some time, Feng Mo Ran is eager to get involved in military affairs.
The extremely shrewd Feng Mo Ran is no longer satisfied with expanding his influence in the imperial court; he has already begun to extend his reach into the military camps.
