The carriage slowly headed towards Yanjing.

In the carriage, Murong Che held the person in his arms and looked at Shen Mi's face carefully.

His fingers fell on the girl's lips. The girl's breathing was even and she was in a half-asleep and half-awake state.

Outside the carriage, Fu Ying rode a horse and handed a piece of cake into the carriage.

"Fourth Master, I'm afraid Second Miss Shen hasn't eaten for a few days."

"kindness."

Murong Che took the cake in his hand, carefully tore it into small pieces, and fed it to Shen Mi bit by bit.

"Here, eat it."

Although Shen Mi closed his eyes and felt dizzy, he was still conscious.

She stuffed a small piece of pancake into her mouth, mixed it with cool water, and swallowed it subconsciously a few times.

In this state of half awake and half asleep, her strength gradually recovered.

However, she was too sleepy and her head was dizzy. She could smell Murong Che's faint sandalwood scent and a hint of blood in her nostrils.

The man's chest was pressed against the back of her head, and Shen Mi could faintly hear his heartbeat.

After an unknown amount of time, she seemed to be dreaming again.

In the dream, I was in the Shen family’s study.

Marquis Pingyang sat at the desk and waved at her.

"Mi'er, come, come to daddy."

"Now, Daddy has to go first."

"Daddy will go to the underworld and atone for his sins in front of your mother."

"Mi'er, listen to Daddy and live well."

“Dad…Dad!”

In the dream, Shen Mi rushed over like crazy, but could only watch the shadow of Pingyang Hou disappear in the room.

She struggled to wake up, breathing in big gulps of air.

In the swaying carriage, Murong Che held her in his arms with one hand, supported his chin with the other hand, and dozed off leaning against the carriage.

Shen Mi slowly approached him and called out softly.

"Fourth Master."

Hearing her voice, Murong Che opened his eyes.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he stretched out his slender fingers to wipe her lips.

"woke up?"

"Fourth Master." Shen Mi approached him.

Murong Che quickly pulled down his sleeves to cover his wrists.

"Having a nightmare again?"

Shen Mi nodded and pursed her lips.

"Thank you, Fourth Master."

"Are we going back to Yanjing?"

Murong Che smiled and said, "If you don't go back to Yanjing, where else do you want to go back to?"

Shen Mi raised her eyes slightly and looked at him, "Luo Qingwan and the others?"

"died."

"Dead?" Shen Mi frowned.

"But what if Liguo blames me?"

Murong Che sighed: "They kidnapped our Great Yan's Crown Princess, which is a capital crime."

Shen Mi lowered her eyes and murmured in a low voice: "I don't want to be the Crown Princess."

Murong Che hugged him and his voice fell into her ear.

"As long as I live, you will never be the Crown Princess."

As the sky gradually darkened, the carriage slowly drove out of the desert and arrived at the territory of Dayan.

Shen Mi sat in the carriage, worried.

"I wonder how Yunlan is doing?"

Murong Che said: "She is fine. It was only when she ran to Prince Rui's Mansion that I knew something happened to you."

Shen Mi pursed her lips and said, "Then Fourth Master, how did you find me?"

Murong Che lowered his eyes and looked at Bai Ze who was lying at his feet, then reached out and stroked Bai Ze's head.

"Yes, it can recognize your breath."

"Bai Ze." Shen Mi smiled and reached out to touch Bai Ze's ear.

"Bai Ze is such a good boy."

But the word "child" sounded like a needle pricking Murong Che's ears.

He carefully reached out and held Shen Mi in his arms.

He slowly placed his lips on Shen Mi's ear.

When the burning breath came, Shen Mi could feel that Murong Che's breathing was unstable.

Unexpectedly, the man behind her opened his lips and bit her ear carefully.

"Fourth Master..."

Shen Mi felt a tingling sensation all over her body and turned her head slightly to look at him.

"Fourth Master, are you born in the Year of the Dog?"

Murong Che moved his lips away and released his hand.

His breath was disordered: "Nothing, I just noticed that your ears are different from others."

Shen Mi said: "Different...different, you can't bite it."

Murong Che whispered, "Okay, I won't bite anymore."

The carriage went non-stop towards Yanjing City, taking the shortest route, and finally arrived in Yanjing City in the afternoon of the next day.

There were shouts and children laughing on both sides of the street.

However, the more this kind of atmosphere there was, the more uneasy Shen Mi felt.

After a while, the horse neighed suddenly and the carriage stopped on the street.

A clear male voice came from outside.

"Fourth Master, there is news from the army that something has happened."

Murong Che drew aside the curtain and saw a guard standing in front of the carriage.

He looked at Shen Mi beside him.

"Go back first, and come to me if you have anything."

Shen Mi pursed her lips, nodded slowly, and reached out to hold his hand.

"Fourth Master."

Murong Che paused slightly and looked at her.

"what happened?"

Shen Mi said: "Thank you, Fourth Master."

"I will repay the Fourth Master for saving my life."

The man suddenly smiled and wiped her lips with his slender fingers. "Go back first, and we'll talk later."

He ordered the groom in front, "Send Miss Shen back to the Shen Mansion first. I'm going to the military camp."

"Yes, Fourth Master."

Murong Che got off the carriage, mounted his horse with his guards, and wielded the whip, heading straight towards the military camp.

Shen Mi looked at the receding figure and suddenly felt reluctant.

He said to the groom in front of him, "Let's go to the side door of the Shen Mansion."

"Yes, Miss Shen."

As it was getting dark, Shen Mi's carriage slowly headed towards the Shen Mansion.

The closer we got to the Shen Mansion, the more desolate we felt.

Gradually, a cry could be heard from afar.

Shen Mi slowly opened the carriage curtain and looked in the direction of the Shen Mansion.

There were dense dark clouds over the mansion, crows were flying in groups, and the faint sound of a woman crying could be heard.

She suddenly felt uneasy and said to the groom, "Don't go to the side door, go to the front door, quickly!"

The coachman turned the horse around, whipped it, and rode straight to the main gate of the Shen Mansion.

In the dark night, Shen Mi hurriedly got off the carriage, and when she looked up at the gate of the Shen Mansion, she almost lost her balance.

In front of the mansion, there were a few more white lanterns, and two doormen in mourning clothes stood at the door.

From inside the mansion, one could faintly hear the cries of Old Madam Shen and her two brothers.

Shen Mi's eyes were red, and she lifted her skirt and ran towards the Shen Mansion.

"Daddy, Daddy, what happened?"

"Daddy..."

As soon as she reached the front yard, a maid in mourning clothes ran up to her, crying breathlessly.

"Second Miss, why did you come back just now? Where have you been?"

"Master, Master...Master is gone."

The maid's words were like a bolt from the blue.

Shen Mi widened his eyes and murmured.

"I don't believe it. I don't believe that Daddy is gone. I don't believe it!"

“Dad…Dad.”

When Shen Mi Chong rushed into the mourning hall with her skirt lifted up, she saw everyone in the Shen family kneeling in front of the hall and crying.

Kneeling in the front was Lin.

When Lin heard Shen Mi's voice, she turned her head and glared at her fiercely.

She got up from the ground, walked to Shen Mi, and raised her hand to slap Shen Mi.

Just as she waved her hand, her wrist was grabbed hard by Shen Feng.

Shen Feng said sternly: "Can you beat my sister?"

Lin angrily scolded: "Shen Feng, if it weren't for her being the calamity star of the Shen family, if it weren't for her insistence on returning to Yanjing, how could your father have been killed by her!"

"She and Shen Li are both the calamities of the Shen family!"
