————————————————————

Just like her from before, with the same action of running her fingers through her hair, the same warm and affectionate gaze, speaking with the same concern for him, and the same warm smile that made others want to draw near, this person was Zhou Min!

She was truly alive!

Alive in a world where he could touch her, approach her, embrace her…

Thankfully, thankfully he had returned, thankfully he believed his own intuition, otherwise, he would have to go through so many more detours with her…

Her smile was as tender as ever, yet he nearly overflowed with tears.

He strode forward quickly, Shangguan Qi stopped two steps away from Zhou Min. All around was silent, outside the tent, there was only the sound of patrolling footsteps marching in order and the whistling of the wind, passing by like a dull roar or a suppressed sob.

‘Zhou… Min’

His voice trembled with each word, accompanied by an urgent gaze, a confirmation of his unrest.

The person under the candlelight was blurry, ethereal, almost unreal, as if in a dream.

‘Shangguan.’ Zhou Min whispered softly, the corners of her mouth lifting slightly.

That tone, that expression… The deep attraction that came from the depths of his soul made Shangguan Qi’s body tremble uncontrollably; without hesitation, he wrapped his arms around Zhou Min.

The scent and warmth he often longed for in his midnight dreams were there, but she was thinner…

Zhou Min immediately felt the wetness on the side of her neck, and her nose soured for a moment, her arms slowly wrapping around his neck and crossing at the back of his neck.

‘Shangguan Qi, why did you come to find me…

What do you expect me to do?

Shangguan Qi had just received a cryptic message from the Shura Hall saying that the Princess of Zhou might have been seen heading to the border, which instantly made Shangguan Qi, who had just been knocked out and taken out of Wancheng, change his pace abruptly and rush to the border.

He didn’t know if it was true, but combining the information from the Shura Hall, all three of the Zhou nation’s princes were at the border confronting Qi nation, and with the first and second princes encountering troubles, the third prince was also in danger. So, when Shura Hall’s shadow guard spies mentioned that someone resembling the Princess of Zhou might have been treated at the Fuli Inn, regardless of whether it was true or not, he came.

Because, his intuition told him, that was his Min’er!

Shangguan Qi, holding the person he had thought about for what seemed like a lifetime over the past month, no longer wanted to part from her, his arms tightening more and more. If possible, he wanted to merge her into his body, so she would never be separated from him again.

Zhou Min, even though she felt pain from his tight embrace, also did not want him to let go. Her fingers gently combed through the hair on his back, her eyes moist. This man, she loved so bitterly. In her previous life, she longed for him in vain, and now in this life, though he was right by her side, after knowing those things, it felt as though a chasm had formed between them.

Putting aside the wishes of the one who had entrusted her, just considering that her father, the Emperor, might truly be responsible for the death of his mother and maternal grandfather’s family, how could she stop him from seeking revenge against the Zhou country?

Not let him seek revenge? But such deep hatred, how could it be so easily dismissed!

She could feel his love, but how much of the truth did he know? If he knew it all, how much love would remain? Would he hate her for plunging him into such a painful abyss?

‘Your Highness, are you alright? There seems to be men in black who have entered the camp; we have gone to pursue them. Is everything okay on your side?’ came the somewhat worried voice of General Qin from outside the tent.

After Zhou Min came to her senses, she looked up at Shangguan Qi, seeing his composed expression, but she already knew that these assassins and men in black were likely because of him. Although she didn’t know how he managed to enter her tent without alerting the two guards outside, she still spoke up to cover for him, ‘I’m fine here! You may leave!’

‘Yes!’ General Qin glanced at the tent curtain that had been put down, then turned and left.

Shangguan Qi lowered his head and touched Zhou Min’s face, his gaze sweeping over the area of her collarbone, then took her hand and walked out as if no one else was around, and the guards who were just outside were now nowhere to be seen.

But now she had no time to investigate further, as he swept her off her feet and into his arms. Within a few steps, as if carried by the wind, he disappeared into the camp. At the moment Shangguan Qi vanished with Zhou Min, the soldiers outside her tent returned to their posts.

‘What do you think is the relationship between our lord and the princess?’

‘Curiosity killed the cat! However, I’ve heard people in the cabinet say that the princess is to be our Shura Hall’s future mistress.’

‘Don’t fool me, being exiled by our master for five years and not returning to the Shura Hall doesn’t mean I don’t know our master’s temperament!’

‘Ah, it’s not easy either. Like us, we are the people our master placed in the Zhou country’s military camp five years ago, and many who were originally in the hall have now become generals! It’s not easy! I thought we were abandoned by our master, but this time our master actually came in person. Does this mean we can finally return to the main camp?’

‘Less talk, we still have to stand guard, don’t let it be discovered that the princess was taken away by our master.’

The guards’ whispering murmurs dissipated into the air, while Zhou Min was carried by Shangguan Qi all the way, ten metres, Shangguan Qi silent, eyes straight ahead, thirty metres, Zhou Min silently looking back, a hundred metres, Shangguan Qi’s clenched fist, two hundred metres, Zhou Min’s clear eyes like water, three hundred metres, Shangguan Qi’s muscles tensed, four hundred metres, Zhou Min’s smile brimming, six hundred metres, Shangguan Qi’s body temperature rose, and his grip on Zhou Min tightened; halfway up the mountain, their close bodies were scorchingly hot, making Zhou Min feel a bit shy.

It wasn’t until Shangguan Qi brought Zhou Min to a hot spring that Zhou Min, feeling overwhelmed by the heat of his body, gently pushed him away and stepped out from his embrace, walking to the side of the hot spring in surprise. There was actually an open-air hot spring here.

Sitting next to the hot spring, she stirred the water with her hand, indeed it was hot. ‘How did you find out there was a hot spring here?’

Shangguan Qi stood behind her, his eyes burning with intensity, but still trying to calm his emotions, silently pulling out a white porcelain bottle from his bosom, pouring the powder inside into the water. ‘I heard that you had seen a doctor at the Fuli Inn, I went there when I came…’

When the medicine mixed with the hot spring, Shangguan Qi then pulled Zhou Min up, gently undid her clothes, Zhou Min somewhat panicked and pressed his hand that was undressing her, ‘Shangguan Qi, you…’”
