Jiang Mingyue saw her husband, Yang Yun as she headed towards her courtyard after a brief visit to the Princess' . Noticing that Yang Yun doesn't seem to see her presence, Mingyue followed his gaze towards the yard where Prince Lu Wei resided .
"What are you thinking about?" Mingyue grabbed her husband's arm and hugged it tightly .
"I'm worried . "
Mingyue glanced towards the prince's courtyard, and then she looked at Yang Yun's face . She knew that the Emperor had commanded both Yang Yun and Vice General Fei Liu to guard both the Princess Lingchen and Prince Lu Wei well .

"What are you worried about?" Mingyue asked . "The Prince will recover soon . You don't trust my ability?"
Yang Yun faced her with a small smile on his face . "How can it be? If my wife said he would recover, then, the prince will recover . " He touched Mingyue's chin and pulled her lightly for a kiss .
"Don't worry too much," Mingyue said after a while . "With you and Vice General Fei Liu here, nothing would happen . Besides, didn't my brother arranged this trip well? No one would be able to guess that the Princess is here with Prince Lu Wei . "
"You are right," Yang Yun pulled his wife into his embrace and patted her soft hair . When Mingyue could not see his expression, Yang Yun turned to look towards the prince's courtyard again . His eyes darkened with various thought going through his mind .
The first time Yang Yun saw Prince Lu Wei at the welcoming banquet, Yang Yun could not help but feel that the Prince looked somewhat familiar . Looking at the Prince's body and posture, he knew that the prince was someone who practiced martial arts frequently . However, after observing the prince for a while, Yang Yun could not figure out when or where he had last seen the Prince .
Yang Yun had a feeling that something terrible was going to happen during the Spring Hunt . When they rescued Prince Lu Wei in the hunting ground, Yang Yun's suspicion around the Prince arose again . He was worried that the Prince might self orchestrated to harm himself to get closer to the Crown Princess with an evil intention .
However, the Prince had done nothing to harm Princess Lingchen so far . From the wound on the Prince's stomach, Yang Yun could not deny that a wild animal indeed attacked the Prince . The Prince's life was in danger if the princess' group did not stumble upon him . He could die without Mingyue's treatment . Even with this knowledge, it did not stop Yang Yun from being wary around the Prince .
After days past by, the anxious feeling Yang Yun had inside him does not fade away . Instead, it only grew stronger . Yang Yun did not know what was bothering him . He only knew that he did not like this feeling .
The next morning, the uneasiness in Yang Yun's heart intensified . Because of this, Yang Yun went to inspect the guards and horses countless of times, and even the guards were starting to get anxious .
"What is wrong with you?" Vice General Fei Liu asked after he caught up with Yang Yun . Fei Liu glanced at the soldiers who greeted him and nodded .
"Vice General, what do you mean? What is wrong with me?" Yang Yun asked . His expression showed his puzzlement .
Fei Liu watched the young man's face briefly before he spoke again . "You're going back and forth checking this and that . I know that you wanted to ensure the Princess and Prince's safety, but you're making everyone else anxious with your action . Tell me . What is it?"
Yang Yun took a deep breath and slowly exhaled . "Nothing . I guess . I am just too worried . " He subconsciously touched his heard . "Just that, I have a bad feeling that something might happen . "
Fei Liu patted Yang Yun on his shoulder . The Vice General was also worried over this trip back to the capital city . But acting as Yang Yun did will not help anything .
"We have done everything we can to ensure the Crown Princess and Prince's safety," Vice General Fei Liu said . "A few of our men are scouting the route back . The route is clear . The weather is looking good . Stop worrying too much . Or you might jinx it . "
Yang Yun forced a smile . "I understand . "
"Now get ready . We will depart to the capital city once Her Highness is ready . "
