"Reporting to the emperor, this subordinate suspects that it's the vice general Liu Yangao. This person normally doesn't perform too arrogantly, but he doesn't seem to be such a good person." Ye Feng recalled the way he saw Ye Xiwen bullying the small soldiers behind their backs and recounted the story from his mouth.

Fu Yuheng did not have much of an impression of this person, but he had heard of his name before. It was said that his hometown was in the capital, but his family had declined, so he had entered the barracks to make a living.

"That Liu Yangao has returned with you?" Fu Yuheng frowned.

Ye Feng shook his head, "No." Fu Yuheng had never thought that he would actually hide the truth regarding the border region from him, but he did not ask him about it. "Are you injured?" Ye Zichen looked him up and down, but didn't find any blood on him.

"This subordinate is uninjured. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty." Ye Feng bowed.

After the two had finished talking, Sun Gonggong walked out from behind the screen. He had vaguely heard the conversation between the two just now, but seeing Fu Yuheng's contemplative appearance, he did not dare to inquire further.

And when Ye Feng came out of the hall, the first person he thought of was Li Ruotong. It was just that since there were so many people in the palace, they did not dare to openly meet her. They could only call a palace maid and take out a jade bracelet, instructing the palace maids to deliver the item to carrageenan, before stuffing her with one tael of silver.

The palace maids had been in the palace for a long time, so they were not surprised by this matter. They kept the silver and rushed to carrageenan's courtyard.

The news of Ye Bodyguard and General Shen returning to the capital had already spread far and wide. Li Ruotong had always been concerned about Ye Feng's condition, and had even received the news a long time ago. She had only heard from the servants that she was discussing matters with the Emperor, so it was inconvenient for him to disturb him.

She was just anxiously pacing around the courtyard when she saw an unfamiliar face of a palace maid who was about to enter when he was stopped by a guard at the entrance.

"Wait!" "Let her in!" Li Ruotong's face revealed a burst of happiness. At this time, other than Ye Feng, she really couldn't think of any other reason to ask the palace maids to come and find her.

"But someone asked you to hand over something to me?" Li Ruotong's eyes lit up, and her tone lightened up a little.

The palace maid was stunned at first, but quickly recovered and took out the jade bracelet, "This is what Ye Bodyguard told me to bring back to the Empress." The palace maid lowered his head and secretly looked at Li Ruotong's expression from the corner of his eyes. He guessed that the two might have a special relationship, his ears were slightly red, it was unknown whether he was shocked or embarrassed.

Li Ruotong snatched the bracelet from the palace maid's hands. Doing that would be like admiring a rare treasure. But what else is there to say? " She looked at her expectantly, waiting for her reply.

However, the palace maid's words evidently caused her to be somewhat disappointed. "No, Ye Bodyguard only said that he must hand this over to the Empress."

With just that one sentence, the palace maid could feel the aura around Li Ruotong become sluggish, "I understand, you can leave now." Ye Zichen twitched his mouth to the side, while his entire face was filled with displeasure.

However, she still had to go. This was their secret signal, so she had to go meet him at the fake mountain.

Previously, she had already meticulously dressed up and was just waiting for him to send a message.

"In that case, there should be no problem …" He mumbled to himself as his eyes swayed left and right. The red blush on his face was like the glow of sunset.

It was already late at night, and the weather was gradually getting colder.

Ye Feng had been standing at the foot of the fake mountain for a long time. He wondered if she was happy and if she had thought about him. "At this time, a familiar figure could be seen approaching from afar, strolling towards us." Ruo Tong... " Her voice was low and hoarse, but it also had a bit of a choke.

Even though he was known as the number one guard, in front of her, he was nothing more than a man led by his beloved.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." Li Ruotong felt the scorching gaze from him, and felt even more embarrassed. Her entire face was slightly flushed, and the handkerchief in her hand was in disarray, "Are you injured? "Did you take good care of yourself in the military camp?"

Suddenly thinking about Ye Feng's whereabouts these days, he started to worry again. The person in front of him had become a lot thinner than before, even his cheekbones had become a lot more prominent.

Seeing her looking all over his body, Ye Feng was moved. He immediately pulled the girl in front of him into his arms, wishing that he could completely merge her into his own flesh and blood.

"Feng …" Li Ruotong comforted her gently, but the tears that were accumulated in her eyes betrayed her emotions.

The two talked for a long time until the sun started to set. Finally, Li Ruotong was able to calm herself down and looked at Ye Feng innocently: "Feng, if you don't need to in the future, don't do such a dangerous thing, right?"

Ye Feng looked at her and nodded. However, this was only to let her feel at ease. With his identity, it was destined that he wouldn't be at ease. Besides, there was no need to say anything unnecessary. If the king wanted this official to die, then this official had no choice but to die.

"Have you been to the Elder Sister Consort Xian?" Li Ruotong suddenly gasped in a low voice and slapped her forehead. However, she was too busy being warm with Ye Feng that she forgot about her. After General Shen returned to the capital, she went back to her residence. No one had told her about her injuries.

"I will send someone to inform the Concubine Xian, do not worry too much." Speaking of this matter, Ye Feng felt a burst of guilt in his heart. General Shen had been severely injured, but in the end, he was still unable to protect Ye Feng. From an angle that Li Ruotong could not see, a hint of dejection flashed past his eyes. Although he was called the number one guard, he could not even protect a single person.

Night slowly spread and he did not want to stay any longer, just in case the other Palace Masters saw that Li Ruotong was still injured. Thus, she did not stay any longer and went back to her own place, but she had her own thoughts.

Li Ruotong was happy, but Ye Feng was worried.

"Empress, a servant has sent word that the general's health is not too bad anymore, but he still needs some time to recover. Empress, I hope that you do not worry too much." Lian Yun pushed open the door and entered, his tone carrying joy and rejoice.

At this moment, Shen Qingwan was pouring a cup of tea and pouring it into her mouth. Hearing that, she shook her hand and poured the entire cup of tea onto her body. The corners of his mouth could not help but rise, as she did not care about the water stains on his body. "Got it, thank the person who sent the message."

Lian Yun sighed. His wife was like this, always not caring about her own situation. As she replied, Lian Yun quickly used a handkerchief to wipe off the water droplets on her body.

"Empress, the general has returned safely. You should rest early." She helped Shen Qingwan to the side of the bed, and only withdrew after Shen Qingwan nodded her head repeatedly.
