The dragon-phoenix twins were frightened during an outing from the palace, so Shangguan Yun instructed the young couple to stay put inside the palace and spend time with the children.
In the cradle of the sleeping palace at Fenglin Palace, Gu Jiao looked at the two little ones more excited than little birds and wondered where anyone saw they were scared.
They acted like nothing was wrong, didn’t they?
"I’m going to the military camp," Gu Jiao said.
The two little ones pouted in an instant.
"No crying," Gu Jiao said calmly.
The two little ones held back their sobs, looking wronged.
Wu Sixi, who was serving on the side, felt heartbroken. The young masters were only five months old; did the mother have to be so ruthless? Couldn’t she see they were startled and needed their mother’s comfort?
As if they really needed it, they were just pretending to be pitiful.
Gu Jiao couldn’t possibly misunderstand her own children, could she?
It seemed that in the past two months, the two little ones had learned quite a bit of drama from the palace.
Gu Jiao resolutely headed to the Black Wind Camp.
Back when Gu Jiao returned to Zhan Country to get married, the Black Wind Camp had accompanied her with five thousand military officers; Wei Renchong and Zhao Dengfeng were among those who first learned that Gu Jiao was a woman and had seen her true appearance.
But the rest had not seen her.
Among them was Li Shen.
After winning the battle, Li Shen immediately went to see his elderly mother. Later, when Gu Jiao returned to Zhan Country, he was also eligible to accompany her, but he stayed in Shengdu to take care of his mother.
Just as Gu Jiao reached the gate of the military camp, Li Shen rode out from inside.
Today, Gu Jiao was dressed as a woman, in a long indigo dress, with a simple single-coil bun, her hair ribbon and sleeves fluttering in the morning light, exuding an ethereal demeanor.
The military camp wasn’t a place for women, and if a woman did come, she was expected to dismount.
Li Shen was about to sternly stop her, but then he saw her face.
She possessed an indescribable beauty, with girlish charisma and a hint of boyish aura, an extraordinary beauty.
Li Shen, who had never judged people by their looks, actually stammered.
The soldiers guarding the camp were equally astounded.
Which family’s young lady was this?
Had a celestial being descended to earth?
