Ye Feng was ordered to enter the room, bowed to Ji Zhen, and informed him of the situation of Yu Jingxi and his party.

The camp outside the study was brightly lit and heavily guarded. In the silence, only the footsteps of patrolling soldiers could be heard. There was an indescribable sense of tension in the air.

Ji Zhen glanced at the brightly lit camp outside the window and asked Ye Feng:

"Young Master Yu, who are you looking for so late at night?"

"Young Master Yu came to see General Yu, but His Highness ordered a curfew for the entire camp, so he did not enter the camp and is waiting outside the camp." Ye Feng replied.

Looking for Yu Bojun?

Ji Zhen's face suddenly turned stern, and he looked at Yu Bojun and asked:

"How could he know you were in the East Camp? If I hadn't informed you today, you should have been in the city. Moreover, he was in the villa of the East Camp, so how could he know when you entered the camp? If he came to look for you now, would he be able to find you?"

Military secrets must not be leaked. Facing Ji Zhen's question, Yu Bojun could not answer a word. He pressed his eyebrows, rubbed his forehead, and thought carefully about the way he came tonight. He felt that there was nothing wrong, so he bowed to Ji Zhen and said seriously:

"Your Highness, I don't know how Jingxi knew that I was back in the camp. But according to military rules, I did not tell anyone about my return to the camp. Your Highness can go with me to see Jingxi. If I lied, Your Highness will punish me according to military law."

Ji Zhen believed Yu Bojun, but the matter of passing a message by note was too sensitive. Yu Jingxi's appearance at this time was quite inappropriate, which made Ji Zhen have to be vigilant. So she said to Yu Bojun:

"In that case, I will go with you and ask Jing Xi in person."

On this side, Ji Zhen and Yu Bojun were walking out of the camp with solemn expressions. On the other side, outside the camp, Yu Jingxi's attendant Mingyue was carefully helping Yu Jingxi adjust the hood of his cloak.

This cloak was given to Yu Jingxi by Ji Zhen. It was made of silver-white soft satin with a red velvet lining. It had a wide hood embroidered with delicate gold thread and was very exquisite. It looked extremely beautiful against Yu Jingxi's jade-like face.

"How is it, isn't it crooked?"

Yu Jingxi looked nervously at Mingyue who was helping him adjust his hood, and looked absentmindedly towards the camp entrance.

He had been here for a while, originally to look for Yu Bojun, but he didn't expect that the person who came to answer him was Ji Zhen's personal attendant Ye Feng. He said that there was a curfew for the whole camp and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

He nodded randomly and told them his purpose. Ye Feng asked him to wait outside the camp without making any comment while he went in to report.

Yu Jingxi looked at Ye Feng's back as he walked away, and a sudden burst of ecstasy in his heart instantly overwhelmed the sadness and depression he had been entangled with all the way. He thought quickly in his mind:

If Ye Feng is here, then Ji Zhen must be here too. When Ye Feng returns to the camp to report, he will only report to Ji Zhen, so will Ji Zhen come out to see him?

He hadn't seen her for a long, long time.

Miss her so much.

The longing hidden deep in his heart was like a spark dropped in the forest. When blown gently by the evening breeze, it turned into a raging fire, burning his heart and making him itchy.

Yu Jingxi stood at the entrance of the camp, and couldn't help but stretch his head to look inside, wishing he could see Ji Zhen immediately.

Young Master Yu's anxious look made the guards at the camp gate a little embarrassed.

The two men looked at Yu Jingxi, who was almost halfway into the camp, and tightened their spears again and again. They looked at each other, struggling between stopping him and ignoring him.

If we stop him, we're afraid that this delicate and weak Young Master Yu will be frightened and something bad will happen to him, and we'll be in big trouble.

If they don't stop him, he will almost step into the camp. This is against the military order of His Highness Qingyan, and they will be beaten with military sticks!

While he was struggling, he heard Mingyue, Yu Jingxi's personal attendant, whispering something in his ear. Yu Jingxi blushed and let Mingyue pull him to the banyan tree outside the camp. He hid behind the tree and disappeared.

The two guards finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Mingyue, who had finally coaxed Yu Jingxi to retreat behind the banyan tree and wait, also finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if he had a hundred guts, he would not dare to let his young master stand with those female soldiers.

He keenly noticed that the atmosphere in Dongdaying tonight was clearly wrong.

Originally, Yu Bojun's attendant came to him and said that the general was ordered to return to the East Camp and would not return to the city tonight. Since Young Master Yu was in the Villa, he asked him to arrange a place for the general to stay.

Mingyue did not doubt it and agreed. Thinking that her young master just happened to have something to ask the general for advice, she quickly told Yu Jingxi about it.

As expected, when Yu Jingxi heard that Yu Bojun was coming, his frown that had been on his face for the whole day finally relaxed a little. He arranged a room, wine and food for Yu Bojun, and waited for his brother to return. But when the moon was at its highest point in the sky, no one showed up.

Yu Jingxi was anxious, so he sent someone to the camp to inquire about the news, and he brought back the news that the entire camp was under curfew.

How can this work?

Yu Jingxi was very upset. His matter might not be resolved until dawn! So he took Mingyue with him and went to Dongdaying to find Yu Bojun in person. However, he did not expect to hear the news that Ji Zhen was there.

Unlike everyone else who was in a panic, Yu Jingxi was in a very good mood at the moment. The haze that had been lingering in his heart for the past few days was blown away by the joy of meeting Ji Zhen, and his face unconsciously turned red.

But this joy was soon replaced by panic. He came out in a hurry, without dressing up, without powder on his face, and without flowers in his hair. Yu Jingxi nervously touched his bun, rummaged through his purse, and said to Mingyue anxiously:

"Mingyue, what should I do? Do I look ugly now? How can I meet Master in this state? How about we go back and put on makeup again before coming back?"

Mingyue looked at her young master who was inexplicably nervous and couldn't help but laugh. She carefully adjusted his hood and comforted him:

"What are you thinking about, young master? As the saying goes, a lotus emerges from clear water, naturally without any decoration. You look very pretty now.

Besides, Her Highness Qingyan is not an ordinary vulgar person. Sir, have you forgotten that last time Her Highness said that the roses in our villa are more beautiful than any other famous flowers and plants! In my opinion, our Her Highness Qingyan is not a person who pretends to be refined. She has a unique vision. "

"What are you talking about? What do you mean by 'our Highness Qingyan'? If others hear it, they will gossip about it. Slap him."

Yu Jingxi's face flushed, and he gave Mingyue a look of shame and annoyance. Mingyue smiled knowingly, patted her mouth lightly, and muttered softly:

"Young Master, you really don't even let me tell you the truth. His Highness Qingyan is obviously very good to you."

"You're so smooth-talking. Hurry up and help me fix my hood." Yu Jingxi finally laughed.

Mingyue, as Yu Jingxi's personal attendant, had a good grasp of Yu Jingxi's thoughts. With just a few words, he resolved his uneasiness, and happily let Mingyue adjust his hood, patiently waiting for Ji Zhen.

Soon, torches flickered in the camp, and soon a group of people came out of the camp. Yu Jingxi looked and saw that it was Ji Zhen and Yu Bojun. He was delighted and immediately stepped forward.
