Lu He carefully supported Guo Yulan and said with a worried look on his face, "Miss, you know He Yue's character and personality very well!"

"But what kind of person is His Highness Prince Shu? You've only known him for a short time, and most of what you know is just hearsay."

"In my humble opinion, what He Yue said must be true. She never makes things up, and she certainly never speaks nonsense."

"So, Miss, you must think twice before you act. Don't be fooled by appearances. After all, you can only know a person's face but not his heart. We still need to ponder the depth of this matter."

Guo Yulan slowly closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled, as if she wanted to expel all the troubles in her heart with this breath.

However, when she opened her eyes again, they were still filled with deep sorrow and helplessness.

In fact, deep down in her heart, she firmly believed that what He Yue said was true. After all, the trust they had built up over the years could not be easily shaken overnight.

However, whenever she thought of Mu Nanfeng, that indescribable emotion surged into her heart like a tide, instantly drowning her originally clear mind.

For Guo Yulan, Mu Nanfeng is not just an ordinary person, he is also the love that has been hidden in her heart for a long time and cannot be let go.

This feeling is like a burning flame, hot and strong, so she would rather choose to escape from reality than face the truth that may hurt this relationship.

On the top of Longtan Mountain, the wind and clouds were changing rapidly, and the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed as if water could drip out.

In this dangerous place, the Queen Mother was secretly escorted back to the palace by the Dragon Guards. These people were dressed in black and moved quickly and secretly, as if they had merged into the darkness.

They surrounded the Queen Mother and walked cautiously along the rugged mountain road.

The other dragon guards were busy and orderly cleaning up the aftermath of the battle. The blood and broken weapons on the ground were testimony to the fierce battle that had just taken place.

The dragon guards looked serious and moved quickly, carefully searching every corner and not missing any clues or leftovers.

Some were responsible for cleaning up the bodies and placing them properly, while others were checking to see if there were any survivors.

Although the whole scene was busy, it was well-organized, showing the well-trained and disciplined nature of the Dragon Guards.

When Hong Shan returned to Mu Nanfeng's side, Mu Nanfeng asked nervously, "Didn't I ask you to protect Yue'er? Why are you back?"

Hong Shan bowed and replied, "Your Highness, Miss He and her family left together. Miss He asked my subordinates to come back to protect Your Highness."

Mu Han, who was not far away, saw Hong Shan saying something to Mu Nanfeng. He also saw Mu Nanfeng asking Hong Shan to send He Yue away.

God knows how much he wants to see if He Yue is safe. He doesn't know when He Yue was captured by the Queen Mother.

For He Yue's safety, he also asked several Dragon Guards to secretly protect He Yue and the others.

Unfortunately, he has a lot of things waiting for him to deal with as the emperor, so he cannot meet He Yue in person. Jiang Lingchuan is also helping Mu Han deal with the follow-up matters.

Mu Nanfeng stared intently at the figure not far away - Mu Han. His eyes seemed to be spewing fire, and the hatred in his heart kept surging like a surging tide, and the unwillingness was like a cancer, growing wildly in his heart, almost devouring him completely.

Every time he saw Mu Han, the memories of being humiliated and despised would uncontrollably flood into his mind, like sharp thorns piercing his heart, making him feel excruciating pain.

He hated himself for being so incompetent despite having modern ideas, and was defeated by Mu Han, a puppet. He hated the unfairness of fate even more. Why did all the glory and halo belong to Mu Han alone?

At this moment, Mu Nanfeng clenched his fists, his nails dug deep into his palms, blood slowly seeped out, but he felt no pain at all.

Because compared to the physical pain, the resentment and unwillingness in his heart are the real demons that torment him.

Mu Nanfeng turned around and said, "We are no longer needed here. Take our people and leave!"

Hong Shan hesitated for a moment and decided to say, "Your Majesty, I have something to ask Your Majesty to decide."

Mu Nanfeng said expressionlessly, "What else?"

Hong Shan said, "After I escorted Miss He down the mountain, she and her family were together. One of the children was a survivor from the original village. He recognized me as the one who destroyed the village."

Hong Shan looked at Mu Nanfeng cautiously as he spoke, and Mu Nanfeng smiled at Hong Shan.

Suddenly, a slap hit Hong Shan's face. "Look at the good things you have done. If you do it, you should do it cleanly. You are becoming more and more useless."

Hong Shan knelt down hurriedly and said, "I deserve to die. I deserve to die."

Mu Nanfeng walked forward with a gloomy face, and each step seemed heavy and powerful.

However, after only a few steps, he suddenly stopped and slowly turned his head.

His eyes were as sharp as torches, staring straight at Hong Shan, who was still kneeling on the ground and kowtowing behind him.

Hong Shan's forehead was broken and blood had stained the ground red, but he seemed unaware of it and continued to kowtow.

Seeing this, Mu Nanfeng's rage intensified. He shouted, "Why are you still kneeling? Are you going to keep kneeling until dark? Get up quickly, take your men, and bring them all back to the palace! If you can't handle this, then, you really don't need to live! I don't have that much patience to waste time with you here!"

After saying this, he waved his sleeves, turned around and strode away. After hearing the prince's words, Hong Shan's face straightened, not daring to be negligent in the slightest. He quickly jumped up from his seat, bowed respectfully and said, "Yes! Please rest assured, your Highness, I will do my best and sacrifice my life to never let you down again!"

He straightened his back, his eyes were firm and resolute, as if he was ready to face all difficulties and obstacles.

Mu Nanfeng led Hong Shan and the others down the mountain quickly. Jiang Lingchuan looked at Mu Nanfeng's anxious departure and asked, "Your Majesty, what happened to Prince Shu that made him leave so hastily without even saying hello to you? Don't you blame me?"

Mu Han turned around suddenly, a hint of anxiety on his face, as if he suddenly remembered something extremely important.

He stared intently at Jiang Lingchuan and spoke rapidly, "Ahchuan! I'll leave the situation here to you and the Duke of Zhenguo. I have something extremely urgent to deal with right now, and there's no time to lose!"

Mu Han didn't have time to explain. After saying those words with a gloomy face, he turned around and left resolutely.

The dragon guards following closely behind him were all agile and marched in step. They quickly disappeared from Jiang Lingchuan's sight like a black torrent.
