"Your Highness, Prince Su."

Shen Zhu looked over to the source of the voice and saw the figure of Ming Jiling.

"Sister-in-law, why did you come here alone?"

When Ming Jiling saw Shen Zhu, he immediately walked towards her.

"Imperial Concubine Noble Consort told me that both of you were assassinated. Right now, we are trapped deep in the mountains and our fate is unknown. Shen Zhu immediately explained, and seeing that it was only Ming Jiling, he asked: "Where is Brother Wen? Why isn't he with you? "

"Cousin is injured. Right now, he's in a very safe place to rest and recuperate."

Ming Jiling explained.

"How are your Brother Wen's injuries? Is it serious? "

When Shen Zhu heard this, he instantly felt unease, and asked worriedly.

"It's already been bandaged with medicine, so it's fine."

When Ming Jiling mentioned the matter of Su Zongwen's injury, he could not help but blame himself, "Sister-in-law, don't be too worried, I will bring you to see your cousin now."

"Alright, sorry for the trouble." Shen Zhu nodded.

Just as the two were about to leave, they heard the sound of a tree branch breaking behind them. Ming Jiling suddenly turned around and saw the black clothed man hiding in the grass, preparing to leave.

The man in black took out the signal detonator to lure his companions over.

Ming Jiling's expression changed, he was prepared to kill the man, but then three more people rushed out from behind him and quickly killed the man in black.

Ming Jiling immediately looked at the three of them with a vigilant expression.

Shen Zhu turned his head and saw the three of them. His expression was ecstatic as he explained, "Your Highness, we are on the same side, there is no need to worry."

"Are all of you okay?"

"Young madam, we are all fine."

The leader of the guards said in a deep voice.

Shen Zhu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the three of them safe and sound. "Oh right, let me introduce you to His Highness, this is the Prince Su."

She then said to Prince Su: "Your Highness, these three are the guards Boss Zhou sent to protect me. When Boss Zhou heard that I was going to go into the mountains to look for Brother Wen, he was worried that I would encounter some danger.

After the three of them heard Shen Zhu's explanation, they immediately bowed to him, "Greetings, Your Highness Prince Su."

Ming Jiling reached out a hand to support her, and said gratefully: "No need to be so courteous when we're outside. I'll have to trouble everyone to escort my sister-in-law here today."

"Your Highness is too polite."

The leader of the guards looked at the two and said, "The danger in the mountain is unpredictable. I am willing to escort Your Highness and Young Madam to a safe place."

"I appreciate your kindness, but Master Su is injured, and our goal of going down the mountain rashly is too big, I'm afraid it will attract the attention of the assassins."

Ming Jiling said warmly, "I have already sent a signal earlier that my trusted aides will arrive soon."

"In that case, we'll head back first to report."

The leader of the guards nodded and did not say anything else.

Shen Zhu, "Many thanks to the three of you for escorting me all the way here today. Be careful along the way."

"Thank you, Young Madam."

The leader of the guards led his men and cupped his fists towards Ming Jiling and Shen Zhu, "Goodbye."

"Be careful."

Ming Jiling nodded and watched the three of them leave together.

"Sister-in-law, it's not safe here. Let's go."

Seeing that everyone was walking far away, Ming Jiling opened his mouth.

Before he left, he specially looked around to make sure that there were no movements from his surroundings before bringing Shen Zhu back to the cave.

Su Zongwen waited in the cave for a long time. Seeing that Ming Jiling had not come back, he prepared to go out to take a look.

Just as he got up, he saw Ming Jiling coming back.

Su Zongwen was about to ask him why he had been out for so long.

Before the man could speak, he saw Shen Zhu walking in behind him, and he was immediately stunned.

Right now, the outside of the city was in chaos, especially inside the mountain, it was extremely dangerous. As a weak woman like Shen Zhu, it was really hard for him to imagine how she managed to get here safely.

Su Zongwen was speechless.

The two of them were less than three meters apart.

However, it was as if's feet were filled with lead, she could not move at all, when she saw Su Zongwen, her tears flowed down uncontrollably, the tears blurred her vision, and she wiped them away, crying as she shouted: "Brother Wen!"

She and Su Zongwen had not been separated for even half a month, but today, when they had met again, Su Zongwen had become much more haggard than when he had left the capital.

"Yue Niang?"

Su Zongwen came to his senses, looked at his wife who was crying tears in front of him, and immediately walked over: "Why are you here?"

The man looked at her nervously and spoke with a worried expression.

"I, I'm fine." Shen Zhu shook her head with tears all over her face, as she reached out and hugged her tightly.

It had been a few days since Su Zongwen last took a shower and changed her clothes. The various smells on her body mixed together and brought about a rotten smell, but Shen Zhu did not mind this at all. She did not say a single word and only hugged her husband tightly.

"It's good that you're fine."

Su Zongwen pulled the person apart a bit, then said half-jokingly: "Yue Niang, let go first, I haven't changed my clothes for a few days, my body has long started to stink, and will be smelly to your nose in a while."

"I don't want it."

Shen Zhu tightly hugged onto the man's waist, not wanting to let go for even a moment.

When she heard about Su Zongwen's injuries in the capital, she panicked. At that time, she was extremely afraid, afraid that Su Zongwen would have some sort of accident and leave.

Thus, now that she had finally met someone, she did not want to let go.

"Aren't I standing right in front of you?" Su Zongwen patted her back lightly and comforted her.

"Oh yes, I heard that you were injured. How are your injuries? Is it serious? "

Shen Zhu seemed to have thought of something, and immediately let go, as he anxiously asked.

"I'm fine, it's just some flesh wounds. But you? This mountain is so dangerous, why did you come here?" Su Zongwen pulled Shen Zhu's hand with a face full of guilt, "This place is so dangerous, how did a weak girl like you manage to run over here? What if we meet with danger? "

"You guys were assassinated and hid deep in the mountains. It's still unknown whether you're dead or alive. How can I be at home by myself without worrying …" Shen Zhu lowered his head somewhat guiltily, and immediately explained: "Besides, I'm not here alone. When Boss Zhou heard that I wanted to look for you guys, he sent a few strong people to escort me here. He escorted me all the way until I found Your Highness before leaving."

When Su Zongwen heard that Zhou Muqing had sent guards to protect her, he slightly lowered his head, his expression dark and gloomy.

"Boss Zhou has really thought about it. When we return to the capital, we will personally pay them a visit to thank you."

"I heard you were injured, so I brought some good medicine from Beijing."

Shen Zhu did not see the abnormality in the man's eyes, and nodded in agreement. Seeing that Su Zongwen's complexion was not good, he quickly changed the topic and pulled him to the side of the hay.

"Brother Wen, quickly sit down. Let me see your injury."

Shen Zhu pulled Su Zongwen and sat down on the hay as he spoke. At the same time, he untied the bundle that he had brought.

"No need, it's just some superficial wounds. This morning His Highness has already applied medicine, so it's not a big deal." Su Zongwen immediately reached out and stopped her from searching for the medicine, and said with a pained heart: "Yue Niang, you've worked hard on this journey, you should rest for a while."

After saying that, he looked around him. He had forgotten that there was only a pile of hay here. Where could she sit?
