Chapter 348 Return and Reunion

"Report—!" The guard rushed into the study, barely able to contain his excitement: "Your Highness! Master Mu is back! He's already at Shili Pavilion outside the city! And...and he's with two other people!"

The guards only felt a gust of wind pass by, and Yun Qing was no longer in the study.

Outside the Shili Pavilion, the dust-covered black-armored soldiers finally caught sight of the outline of Jiangzhou City.

Mu Qingcheng and Mu Yao rode in a carriage, while the others rode on horseback.

In the past few days, Mu Yao has gradually emerged from the shadow of imprisonment, and a smile has gradually returned to her face. She no longer clings to Mu Qingcheng in fear.

Inside the carriage, she remained nestled close to Mu Qingcheng, the two chatting happily.

"Master Mu, Master Mu, look! Who's here...!"

Mu Qingcheng got out of the carriage and stood on it, gazing into the distance.

Dozens of light cavalrymen galloped towards them, kicking up dust, and the leader was none other than Yun Qing. Mu Qingcheng's tense nerves finally began to relax the moment she saw Yun Qing.

Yun Qingxing rode up to her, reined in his horse, and immediately locked his gaze on Mu Qingcheng. He quickly looked her up and down and saw that she was not injured, but looked tired, though her eyes were still clear and bright. He was slightly relieved.

"Warm and cozy...!!!"

He leaped off his horse, walked a few steps to her, grabbed her waist with both hands, and lifted her directly from the carriage.

Mu Qingcheng gasped in surprise as she fell into a warm embrace. Their eyes met, and a thousand words condensed into one: "From now on, you're never allowed to leave again!"

"Hmph!" Mu Qingcheng said coquettishly, "Who was it that insisted on kicking me out?"

Yun Qing hugged her tightly, her eyes welling up with tears: "It was my fault, I'll never let you leave me again!"

Mu Qingcheng felt Yun Qing's body trembling slightly. She knew how afraid this person was of losing her, and her heart was filled with boundless tenderness.

She unconsciously put her arm around Yun Qing's waist, only then realizing that Yun Qing seemed to have lost a lot of weight. She tenderly stroked Yun Qing's back and buried her face in the crook of his neck.

"Yunqing, you've lost weight again. Have you not been eating properly...?"

"Without you, I can't eat...and I can't sleep!"

Didn't I tell you not to worry?

"How could I not worry! Nuannuan, please don't do such dangerous things again. What would I do if something happened to you...!"

"cough……"

A soft cough rang out untimely, startling the two who were immersed in each other's presence.

Mu Qingcheng then realized that they were already surrounded by a circle of black-armored soldiers. Although the soldiers had turned their backs, they were standing so close that they must have heard every single word of those passionate words spoken earlier.

A blush instantly spread across her cheeks, even her earlobes felt hot. She gently pulled away from Yun Qing's embrace, taking half a step back. Her eyes darted around in a panic, and when she caught sight of the Duan siblings standing there dumbfounded, she remembered the important matter and hurriedly tugged at Yun Qing's sleeve.

"Yun Qing, this is Young Master Duan, Duan Muchen. And also Sister Mu Yao. I... I brought them all back."

Yun Qing naturally reached out and grasped the hand that was holding his sleeve, gently stroking the back of her hand with his fingertips, as if in silent pampering, and said softly, "I know, Nuan Nuan is really amazing!"

Yun Qing's gaze slowly shifted from her face, and when she looked at the others, her eyes held a hint of coldness.

Duan Muchen's heart skipped a beat. Was the temperature dropping too quickly? He wasn't quite used to it yet!

"Young Master Duan has suffered!"

Duan Muchen quickly came over and bowed to Yun Qing: "This humble subject, Duan Muchen, along with my younger sister Mu Yao, pays our respects to Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Yun Qing offered a slight gesture of support: "No need for such formalities. You two have had a long journey. Now that you have arrived safely in Jiangzhou, I will immediately send someone to see the Prince of Zhennan. Your father will surely be relieved to know that you are safe and sound."

His gaze swept over the faintly visible wounds and haggard faces of the two men, suggesting they had suffered a lot in the past few months. His tone was tinged with concern: "Right now, the most important thing is your health. You can rest assured and stay in Jiangzhou to recuperate!"

Duan Muchen was shocked and secretly glanced at Yun Qing. So this was His Highness the Crown Prince, and he was indeed so handsome!

There are too many rumors about the Crown Prince in the capital, the most common being that he is ugly... Is this the ugly, ruthless, and woman-averse Crown Prince of legend?

It’s really better to hear once than once see.

Yun Qing didn't say much, but quickly ordered his subordinates to prepare a carriage, invite a famous doctor, and escort the Duan siblings back to the city to settle down.

Once everything was arranged, his gaze shifted back to Mu Qingcheng, and the passion within him rekindled. He mounted his horse and reached out his hand to her.

"Come here." The voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable allure.

Mu Qingcheng placed her hand in his palm, and the next second he steadily pulled her into his embrace, making her sit in front of him. His hot chest pressed against her back, and his arms wrapped around her, firmly grasping the reins, confining her to his own private space.

"drive!"

With a soft shout, his horse reared up, leaving his subordinates behind, and galloped towards the city.

"Master! Wait for me!"

Seeing that her master had left, Mo Xue urged her horse to chase after him, but was stopped by some of the older black-armored soldiers!

"Oh dear! I say, young general! Your head's growing so fast, but why don't you grow any smarter?"

"Heh! Your eyesight isn't good either!"

"Sigh! Isn't it because our young general is still young and inexperienced?"

Mo Xue was stopped from leaving, and he said anxiously, "What are you talking about?..."

"Hahahahaha..."

This caused many people to burst into laughter!

The wind brushed past his ears, ruffling Mu Qingcheng's hair and tangling it with his flowing black hair. Behind him was his steady heartbeat, and all around him was his warm presence. Mu Qingcheng slowly relaxed his body and leaned back, like a weary bird finally returning to its nest.

The sound of horses' hooves was rapid, yet it created a silent, lingering melody.
