Chapter 521: Chapter 521

In the pitch-dark night, she wore a black cloak and a hooded hat, riding a towering black horse, concealing herself within the darkness. As she encountered the other party’s three horses, the speed of her horse only slightly decreased—a result of her attire, the two parties merely glanced at each other swiftly as they brushed past.

In the dim night, she saw that the opposite party was made up of three tall men riding three horses.

The trio from the other side felt that she was somewhat petite, her entire figure crouching on the horse’s back clad in black, unrecognizable except for her especially bright eyes piercing through the dark.

Merely one hundred meters after parting, her sharp command, "Go," made those who were galloping pause, each turning their heads to look back.

Oblivious to their reaction, she continued to urge her horse forward with successive "Go, go, go." After they stopped, the ears of those at the forefront grew sharper; seeming sure of something, they looked back at the person trailing behind them, "Sir..., that voice just now, was it—"

"Considering the direction she came from, obviously from the Yuxi Camp, could it be, sir?"

The man who returned to his senses gazed solemnly at their back, his horse sensibly circled following his hand on the rein and turned around.

"You two go check the camp, I will follow her immediately."

"Yes, be very careful, sir, and send a message immediately if anything happens."

"Mm." His voice was deep and hoarse, as if he hadn’t drunk water for many days, sounding quite raspy. With a gentle tug on the reins, the majestic horse raised its hooves and charged away into the dust.

"In fact, we don’t even need to look to know, that is undoubtedly our future Empress."

He questioned—could there be another woman in the Yuxi Camp? In a place where even the cooks are male, aside from her, how could there possibly be another woman?

Ming Yue chuckled, "This girl, is she trying to escape at the last moment? Doesn’t she realize it’s too late?"

"Our Lord has been traveling day and night ahead of the main troop, isn’t it just to meet her sooner? Yet it’s fortunate for us, isn’t it just like she’s delivering herself to us?"

Soon, low pleasurable laughter from two men resonated on the official road....

Meanwhile, Tangyuan, as she walked, turned her head back repeatedly, sensitively, because she seemed to hear the sound of horse hooves behind her.

At this time, could something have happened at the camp?

Yet, as she mentioned the "camp," she abruptly pulled the reins.

"That’s not right, could those three people I just passed also be heading to the camp?"

Around eight or nine in the evening, it wasn’t very late. She had also felt unease instinctively which prompted her to choose this time to leave. Fortunately, she didn’t have many belongings, and all that could be stored in the "space" was already packed, allowing her to embark on a sudden journey. Generally, those coming from outside or leaving from inside should primarily be heading to Yuxi Camp.

Usually, she wouldn’t care who arrived at or left the camp, but wasn’t it precisely because of this sensitive period that she felt increasingly anxious?

With this realization, she eased up, after all, she still had to greet the arriving royal procession. Thus, on this road at this time, there wasn’t much of a problem going back and forth.

Just as she delayed, someone had caught up with her, and she had barely covered 100 meters when a black shadow leaped, landing steadily behind her. Tangyuan let out a loud scream, but the latter grabbed the reins and her collar to spin her around and then securely tucked her into his arms.

Tangyuan looked up, reached out to lift her cloak trying to see who it was, but the person rudely snatched away her cloak, and with his right hand pressed her head towards him, his kiss overwhelmed her without any warning. She beat him, pushed him, even tried to bite and kick him; however, he anticipated all her moves and resolved them, until the kiss grew more passionate and tender. As she regained her composure and smelled that familiar fragrance, she suddenly realized who it was, and he gave her a chance to breathe.

"My Yuanyuan, have you finally remembered me?"

After that, another deep kiss followed; his kiss was so fiery and domineering that she couldn’t resist, for her entire being had melted in his arms like water.

Was the longing of two years only from Rong Heng’s side? After two years of sorting out her feelings, she had also come to understand her heart cared for him.

"Where were you trying to escape to?"

After a frenzied kiss, only their chaotic breaths remained between them.

He, gasping heavily, embraced her waist; she clasped his neck, their legs entwined, in a position too strange and awkward to describe.

Even the horse, not knowing when, had stopped, perhaps too strained carrying both of them?

Rong Heng’s horse followed at a leisurely pace behind them, showing much intelligence.

Rong Heng found a patch of grass, leisurely led the horses over, then carried her and jumped down.

Afterward, he lay down on the grass, holding her; she sat on him in an extremely shy posture trying to escape, but he turned over, pressing her beneath him.

"You’ve lost a lot of weight."

The busy days in the camp had made her inadvertently lose weight due to high-stress work, she didn’t even reach 110 pounds, which was pretty much her initial goal. Not the pitifully thin type, but slightly plump for a girl of five foot one, though 88 to 99 pounds would be the skinniest weight, she felt 100 pounds was already fine, daring not hope for less.

He had never held her before, at most had lifted her, but just after meeting, a few moves had made him realize, her figure was truly something.

Now, the distance between her and him was as close as it could possibly be, his warm breath sprayed on her face, making her cheeks increasingly hot.

Her hands still pressed between them, preventing him from completely pressing down, and he too, careful not to press on her, supported himself on either side of her shoulder. While she remained silent, he tilted his head and nuzzled her nose with his, "My Yuanyuan, why aren’t you speaking? Is it because you missed me too much, unable to cope?"

Unable to bear such emotionally unsettling close contact, Tangyuan forcefully pushed him aside and escaped from his control, quickly moving away.

"You, don’t come any closer,"

Rong Heng, worried his eagerness had frightened her, resignedly accepted her motion and stayed put obediently.

"I’ve missed you so much, truly have. How did you manage not to contact me at all for two years? Yuanyuan, must we become so unfamiliar to each other? Didn’t you feel how much I missed you just now? Why do you want to leave? Is it because of my arrival?"

His sequence of questions left Tangyuan speechless for a long while, silently tilting her head to stare at him; in the dark night, her eyes sparkled, and something seemed to roll down her cheek.
