"Your Majesty!"

As soon as Bian Jingsheng returned to the prefect's residence, he saw Zhu Qing'an hurriedly coming towards him, his eyes flashing with anticipation.

Bian Jingsheng avoided her gaze and didn't even dare to look directly into Zhu Qingan's eyes.

"Is there any news about Mr. Shen?" Zhu Qing'an asked nervously.

It has been four days since they arrived in Chongzhou. During these four days, Zhu Qing'an spent every day in fear and full of anticipation.

This morning, Bian Jingsheng's subordinates seemed to have discovered some clues, and Bian Jingsheng hurried out. She thought that there would be good news this time.

"Sorry..." Bian Jingsheng lowered his brows. He just felt guilty for disappointing Zhu Qing'an every time. He even wished that he was the one who got into trouble.

If it were me, Zhu Qing'an wouldn't be so sad.

Even though she knew what was going on, she received another disappointing answer. Zhu Qing'an staggered and before Bian Jingsheng could help her, she had already held onto the table by herself.

"No news is also good news, isn't it?" Zhu Qing'an looked at Bian Jingsheng, the smile on his face made people feel more uncomfortable than crying.

Zhu Qing'an was very thin at this time, and his once charming eyes were filled with sorrow, and his whole body looked like it was about to break.

Even Magistrate Wu who was following behind couldn't bear to watch any longer. In the past few days, they had witnessed with their own eyes how worried Princess Yongfu was about Master Shen. Unfortunately, the two of them had only arranged an engagement but had never gotten married. Such deep affection was really sad.

"Well, Mr. Shen must be safe!" Bian Jingsheng said dryly. Even he might have some doubts about Shen Shixin's survival at this time.

It has been such a long time, if the person is still alive, why is there no trace at all?

But if the person is dead, then the body should also float up.

"Princess, you must take care of yourself!" Bian Jingsheng looked at Zhu Qing'an and couldn't help but express his concern. He was afraid that if Zhu Qing'an continued like this, she really wouldn't be able to hold on.

Zhu Qingan forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I won't fall!"

Shen Shixin hasn't come back yet, how could she fall down? She must be fine.

At this moment, Chuan Bai almost trotted back, his voice full of excitement, "Your Highness! There's news about Master Shen!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Bian Jingsheng's whole body tensed up, and he turned around and walked out. Even though he had been busy all day and even though he hadn't even had lunch yet, he just wanted to find Shen Shixin as soon as possible.

"Your Highness!" Zhu Qing'an chased after Bian Jingsheng and said stubbornly, "I want to go with Your Highness!"

Bian Jingsheng wanted to refuse. After all, Zhu Qingan didn't look very good at the moment, but he couldn't bear to see Zhu Qingan's lost look.

In the end, I still compromised.

"The people below found Master Shen in a village far from the river!" Chuan Bai said, glancing at the princess who was running away. "Master Shen is not in danger!"

In fact, secretly, Chuan Bai hoped that something would happen to Shen Shixin.

Zhu Qing'an's heart was pounding. There were several horses parked at the door. Bian Jingsheng jumped on the horse and stretched out his hand towards Zhu Qing'an.

"It's difficult to travel at night, we must bring Mr. Shen back as soon as possible!" Bian Jingsheng explained.

Zhu Qing'an thought about meeting Shen Shixin, and without any hesitation, put his palm into Bian Jingsheng's palm.

Bian Jingsheng exerted force and pulled Zhu Qing'an onto the horse and sat him in front of him, but he did not touch Zhu Qing'an, instead kept a distance from him.

"Chuan Gu, prepare a carriage and a doctor!" Bian Jingsheng said, and rode away on horseback.

The night wind felt cold on her face, but Zhu Qing'an's heart was burning at this moment. She hoped the horse could go faster and faster.

While riding his horse, Bian Jingsheng's eyes were on Zhu Qing'an in front of him.

He looked at Zhu Qing'an's black hair. At this moment, she seemed to be in his arms, and he could hold her in his arms with just a little effort.

There was a moment when he really wanted to do this, but reason made him remain a gentleman.

Bian Jingsheng hopes that this road will be longer so that he can spend more time with her.

But the road always has an end, just like him and Zhu Qing'an. No matter how reluctant he was, he could only watch her jump off the horse impatiently and run towards another person.

He reached out his hand, but only touched the hem of her skirt fluttering in the wind.

"Your Highness..." Chuan Bai stood aside, looking at his own prince's lost expression, and couldn't help but speak up to remind him.

Bian Jingsheng dismounted and followed Zhu Qing'an into the farmhouse. Before he entered, he heard Zhu Qing'an's choking voice.

"Shixin..." Zhu Qing'an stood in the simple thatched hut, looking at Shen Shixin who was still alive sitting there, tears falling uncontrollably.

She worried day and night, and now seeing Shen Shixin still there, Zhu Qingan felt that God had mercy on her again.

Shen Shixin hadn't expected Zhu Qing'an to appear here. Shouldn't Zhu Qing'an be in Ancheng? Could it be that she came to Chongzhou because of him?

"Princess!" As soon as Shen Shixin opened his mouth, Zhu Qing'an suddenly hugged Shen Shixin.

"That's great! It's so great that you're okay!" Zhu Qing'an cried and laughed. She could only hug Shen Shixin tightly, feeling that Shen Shixin was still alive.

As long as he is alive, that's enough.

Shen Shixin has always known his limits. Even though he and Zhu Qing'an have already been engaged, they have never crossed the line in their relationship. Now that Zhu Qing'an is hugging him so excitedly, he feels confused and a little uncomfortable.

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern, Princess!"

Compared to Zhu Qing'an's excitement, Shen Shixin seemed much calmer. He even held Zhu Qing'an's shoulders and pushed him away slightly.

At this time, Zhu Qing'an did not notice Shen Shixin's actions. She was immersed in great joy.

"Are you injured?" Zhu Qing'an looked at Shen Shixin carefully, and then shouted outside, "Where's the doctor? Hasn't the doctor arrived yet?"

"Your Highness!" Shen Shixin also noticed Bian Jingsheng standing at the door at this time, and hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Bian Jingsheng stepped into the thatched cottage and his eyes fell on Shen Shixin, unable to distinguish between joy and anger. He had just seen clearly that Shen Shixin seemed very estranged from Zhu Qingan.

"I have been ordered to come to Chongzhou to rescue Lord Shen. How is Lord Shen?" Bian Jingsheng asked in a businesslike manner.

Shen Shixin replied, "The river was turbulent at the time, and I was swept away and passed out. After I woke up, I was rescued by a female doctor. I continued to have a high fever and was unconscious for the past two days. I'm sorry to have troubled you, Your Highness!"

Zhu Qing'an listened to Shen Shixin's words and thought about how dangerous the situation was at that time, so he also breathed a sigh of relief.

"I am just following orders. But Princess Yongfu came all the way to Chongzhou for Lord Shen. She was worried day and night. After hearing the news about Lord Shen, she hurried here!" Bian Jingsheng snorted coldly.

He wanted to let Shen Shixin know how much Zhu Qing'an had paid and what a treasure he had obtained.
