By the time Mo Lingwei and Chen Shaobei galloped to the barracks, they found only Shen Ningning sitting in a warm tent, with Jiang Zhi keeping her company.
Mo Lingwei rushed forward in large strides.
His cool, jade-like gaze swept over the little one from head to toe.
"Are you okay?" He breathed a sigh of relief, seeing she was unharmed and showed no signs of having cried.
Shen Ningning's small face had already been washed sparkling clean.
Now, her large, dark eyes and pink, tender lips broke into a lovely smile.
"I'm fine, Brother. Aren't you busy with court affairs? Why did you come all the way out here?"
Chen Shaobei stepped forward and said, "Someone just reported that the Commandery Princess was being mistreated here, so the Crown Prince rushed over at once."
Jiang Zhi shot to her feet, her eyes wide.
"Forgive me for speaking out of turn, General Chen, but one of the soldiers under your command is absolutely black-hearted."
