Shen Nanzhi tightened the reins and dismounted.
He spotted Fu Junheng immediately, who was also looking at him sideways.
Shen Nanzhi walked up to Fu Junheng and said, "Crown Prince Junheng is also here."
Even though Fu Junheng was wearing a black veil and eye bandage, one could still feel the power in his eyes, and his aura was unusually cold. "General Shen is here too."
Their eyes met, and an invisible, suffocating pressure filled the air.
Linglong stood to the side, completely at a loss for what to do, her heart pounding with anxiety and nervousness.
Shen Nanzhi did not respond to Fu Junheng's words, but merely raised his lips slightly, his eyes cold and clear. He withdrew his gaze, looked at Linglong, and asked, "Is Shuang'er not at the manor?"
Linglong blinked and suddenly came to her senses, then said nervously, "Miss... is at the manor." After saying that, she hurriedly said, "Then General Shen, please wait a moment, I'll go in and tell Miss."
Previously, Shen Nanzhi could enter the mansion directly without needing to announce his arrival, but given the current situation, she dared not let General Shen enter directly. It would be better to inform her young lady first.
Shen Nanzhi didn't say anything, and handed the pastry box in his hand to Linglong, "These are the pastries your young lady said she wanted to eat yesterday. Take them in and let her try them first."
Linglong reached out and took it. "Okay."
Now she just wants to leave as soon as possible; she feels like she's suffocating if she stays even a moment longer.
Just as Linglong was about to turn around and go inside, she spotted Wei Xu riding up on horseback. Could it be any coincidence?
When Wei Xu saw the two people standing outside the door, he could feel a strong sense of oppression even from a distance. He felt inexplicably guilty and even regretted why he had to run into these two at this time. But he couldn't turn back now, so he could only bite the bullet and dismount.
Wei Xu stepped forward, suppressing his inner panic and unease, and greeted, "General Shen, Crown Prince Junheng."
Fu Junheng completely ignored him, not even giving him a glance. Shen Nanzhi, on the other hand, responded with a sound.
Wei Xu stood there, feeling an indescribable panic. His feet were almost unsteady on his feet, and he wished he could find a place to hide immediately.
Seeing this, Linglong said, "Young Master Wei, please wait here for a moment."
Wei Xu was puzzled and hurriedly asked, "She asked me to come today. I'll go in with you..." The oppressive atmosphere around him made him so anxious that he couldn't stay there for even a moment longer.
As he was speaking, he was about to step forward and leave with Linglong, but before he could finish his sentence, he felt two sharp blades shooting towards him. He froze on the spot, his eyes filled with terror, and he couldn't utter a single word.
Linglong didn't linger; she should hurry back and inform her mistress.
Upon hearing Linglong's report, Mu Chenshuang's face darkened instantly. They really had all come together. Shen Nanzhi and Wei Xu were alright, but Fu Junheng had to come knocking on their door. Wherever he was, people would suffocate.
"Let Shen Nanzhi and Wei Xu in!"
Linglong was taken aback. "Then, Miss, wouldn't you offend Crown Prince Junheng by doing this? After all, Crown Prince Junheng helped you before."
Mu Chenshuang countered, "Or should we invite all three of them in?"
That does seem rather unrealistic.
"It's alright, you can go!"
It's not the first or second time that she's offended Fu Junheng.
Linglong arrived at the door but did not see Fu Junheng. Just as she was wondering, Shen Nanzhi replied, "Crown Prince Junheng has already left."
Linglong said "Oh," and breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that they left. "Then General Shen, Prince Wei, please come in!"
Shen Nanzhi strode into the mansion, with Wei Xu following closely behind. He felt less depressed after Fu Junheng left.
At this moment, a carriage that had been not far away stopped at the street corner.
Sudden.
A figure appeared beside the carriage and said respectfully, "Your Highness, they have gone inside."
The moment the words were spoken.
The carriage curtains were lifted, revealing a chilling blast of air.
