"Your Highness, men and women shouldn't be so intimate with each other. Please let go!" Cen Xue felt a sense of panic in her heart. What would he do to her next?

She was a woman standing tall, his sister-in-law. She only felt gratitude towards him, only friendship existed between friends. Or perhaps from the very beginning, she had regarded Helian Jue as a family member, because he was her twin brother!

"Cen Xue, Ben Wang likes you. How about you become Ben Wang's consort?" Helian Jue had wanted to ask her a long time ago, but he couldn't find an opportunity.

However, not long after, he heard that someone was approaching and curious to see who it was, so he hid behind the aquatic plants. When he saw that Cen Xue actually had the courage to take off her clothes and bathe here, he couldn't help but have a very resolute thought sprout in his heart.

Cen Xue didn't expect him to say such a thing to her. Oh god, what was going on?

"Your Highness, did you get something wrong?" How can I be your consort? " The more Cen Xue thought about it, the more she felt that something was amiss. That wild kiss of his and that hug of his were all real.

"No …" This King has taken a fancy to you, so I like you! " Helian Jue's words were firm. No matter what her reaction was, he would make sure of her.

Cen Xue inwardly cried out that this was not good. This man couldn't be for real right? How could she escape now?

"That... Your Highness, can we talk about this later? Can you let me go now? " Cen Xue did not dare to reject him as well. She was afraid that if she forced him into a corner, he might even rape her.

Helian Jue didn't want to force her hand and slowly released it. The moment Cen Xue gained his freedom, he wanted to run but was stopped by Helian Jue, "What are you running for? Weren't you here to bathe?"

"I... "I'm done washing. Prince, you should wash slowly …" Cen Xue had been freed, how could she dare to stay here with him for a while longer.

"Since you have finished bathing, then tell This King, do you like This King? Are you willing to become This King's wangfei? " Helian Jue tightly held onto her arm, but he wasn't sure if she would let go.

Cen Xue's face was bitter. How was she supposed to answer that question without angering him and letting him know what she was thinking?

Looking back at him, she laughed awkwardly, "Hehe, Your Highness, isn't what you just said a little too child's play? We've only been like this for half a month, and yet you're already saying such words. It's too sudden, but I think it's too fast. We'll be together for at least two or three months, right?"

"Good …" This king has given you time. When you return to the capital tomorrow, you will be staying at the Duke Palaces. This king will make you fall in love with me and will definitely make you willingly marry me and become this king's only wangfei! " Although Helian Jue had fought on the battlefield for many years, with his temper, Cen Xue felt that it was much easier to deal with him than standing tall.

"Alright …" Cen Xue readily agreed. She would find a way to enter the palace as soon as possible and leave his mansion. As long as she could return to his side, anything would be solved.

The two of them remained in a stalemate for a while, until a gust of night wind blew, causing Cen Xue to shiver uncontrollably. He immediately let go of her hand and walked towards the grass by the shore, saying as he walked, "I'll keep watch for you, quickly wash up. Don't wash for too long, you'll catch a cold."

Cen Xue looked at his back as he left. Forget it, now that things had come to this point, she would bravely continue to sink her long hair into the river. What she should see had already been seen by him, so he would just treat it as him wearing a bikini at the pool.

Helian Jue was lying in the grass and listening to the sound of the river. He was a man of honor and did not peek a single glance at Cen Xue. Instead, he had been lying in the grass and staring at the night sky.

Occasionally, she would turn her head to look at where he was. The dense grass covered his tall body, allowing Cen Xue to quickly wash herself clean. She then ran back to the shore to retrieve her clothes and hide in the grass, changing into her new clothes.

"My prince, I'm done. We can go back now." Cen Xue stood by the shore and called out to him.

Helian Jue heard her shout and got up from the grass. He picked up his clothes and walked towards her while putting on his clothes.

In the dark of the night, Cen Xue saw the tall and big man walking towards her. The silhouette in the darkness seemed to let her see the mountain for a moment, but when Helian Jue walked in front of her, Cen Xue instantly felt clear-headed. He was Helian Jue, not her Helian Li!

"Let's go. What are you so engrossed in?" Helian Jue took her hand, but when he saw her glazed gaze, he couldn't understand what was going on with her.

Cen Xue was dazed for a moment. Closing her eyes, she calmed herself down before slowly raising her head to look at him, "It's nothing, let's go …"

Helian Jue held her hand and the two walked side by side, but their thoughts were completely different. Helian Jue looked at Cen Xue beside him, thinking that she was slowly accepting him, that she had a place in her heart.

Silence. Cen Xue had wholeheartedly thought of him as Helian Shan just now. She was willing to let him hold her hand because she wanted to feel Helian Shan by her side and treat him as Helian Shan.

Helian Jue sent her back to the front of the tent and watched her leaving. No matter what, she wanted to become his woman.

The next day, the army set off once again. Cen Xue was dressed all in magnificent attire today, which left many in the crowd dumbfounded. They had always known that Cen Xue was a great beauty, but they never expected her to dress up like this today.

When she came out of the tent today, Helian Jue had already discovered her figure. After considering it over and over again, he let her sit in his carriage. Once the army entered the city, he let her return to the prince's mansion first.

The aunt's face was full of smiles as she knew that Cen Xue would definitely follow the prince back to the prince's mansion. As expected, her guess was right.

As for the last three military prostitutes, they watched as Cen Xue sat in the prince's carriage. They were extremely envious of her, and a look of jealousy hung on their faces. However, with their birth, it was impossible for them to climb onto the prince's soft bed.

The speed of the army was very fast today, and they had not rested since morning. Cen Xue opened the car door and looked outside. Looking at the sky, it was probably noon, and her stomach was growling loudly.

Helian Jue turned his head to look at the carriage and saw that she had stuck her head out. He immediately turned around and rode his horse to her side and asked, "What happened? Are you feeling uncomfortable sitting here?" Helian Jue thought that she had been in the carriage for too long and felt uncomfortable.

Cen Xue looked at him awkwardly, but she could not endure the hunger. She could only whisper to him, "Prince, I'm hungry. I'd like to go and relieve myself …"

So it was like that. Looking at the color of the sky, it was indeed time to let the army rest for a bit and eat some rations. They would reach the capital very soon. It didn't matter if they rested for a bit.

"There's a box of pastries in the carriage. Take it out first and let This King propose to the great general to rest for a while." Helian Jue said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Cen Xue nodded her head furiously. After he left the window, she found a box of pastries among the greetings. It was placed in an exquisite wooden box and after opening it, Cen Xue drooled upon seeing it.

Inside were osmanthus cake, red bean cake, horseshoe cake, and some pastries that she could not name. In short, if she bit into them, they would truly be sweet to the bones.

Delicious...

Just as he ate the two red bean cake, the carriage suddenly stopped. Helian Jue's tall and burly figure followed him into the carriage. Seeing her happily eating, her handsome features became even more enchanting along with his smile. "Get off the carriage, This King will accompany you to convenience you!"

"Puff …" When Cen Xue's pastries heard his words, they were all spouted out. What with what?

Seeing her reaction, wasn't Helian Jue a bit too big?

"This King only wants to stand guard for you. There's no place to hide around here. Do you want to think it through?" He wasn't a lowly person, so how could he do such a vulgar thing? At the very least, he loved to be a prince.

Cen Xue ate her last mouthful of pastries and looked out the window. There were soldiers resting at the same place. If it weren't for him, those soldiers would definitely have peeked at her with interest.

"Many thanks, Your Highness …" Cen Xue saw that there was still an oil-paper umbrella in the carriage. She also picked it up and followed him out of the carriage.

After staying in the horse carriage for the whole morning, it would have been strange if he had not wanted to take advantage of Cen Xue's presence. Cen Xue followed him, and Helian Jue brought her to a bush at the side of the road, and pointed to a spot behind it.

Yu Wen Tai had personally witnessed Helian Jue's care for Cen Xue. He actually put down his prince's status to take care of an ordinary girl. What could this mean? It only meant that the boy had fallen for Cen Xue!

An hour later, the army had set out once more. With their current speed, it would only take six hours for them to return to the capital.

"Your Majesty, General Yuwen's army is about two hours away from the capital. May I ask if Your Majesty is willing to personally go out of the city to receive them?" The moment Zhao Chengde received the news, he immediately rushed over to report.

He continued to wholeheartedly read the imperial reports, but at the same time, he also replied Zhao Changde, "Let the Imperial Tutor bring Yuwen Tuo to welcome them. Tonight, they will have a good night's rest, and tomorrow, they will celebrate at the palace by themselves."

"Understood …"

Upon receiving the king's order, the Imperial Tutor personally brought Yuwen Tuo to the city gate tower to welcome the army. Looking from a distance, one hundred miles away, the Imperial Tutor saw a cloud of dust rising into the air.

"Ta'er, from now on, you have to be like your father and be completely loyal to the country, making a great military achievement!" The Imperial Tutor, Dan Xiong, was the grandfather of Dan Yu Wu, and could be considered to have watched the children grow up.

Looking at Yuwen Tuo, who had already grown into a robust young man, Dan Xiong said with a tone of anticipation and appreciation.

"Yes …" Ta'er will definitely do it. She will definitely follow her father's example and do it even more outstanding than her father! " Yuwen Tuo lowered his head to face Dan Xiong. His expression was unwavering, making him very satisfied.

After an hour, the figure of the great army was almost within reach. Yuwen Tuo supported the old man down the city wall and waited for the great army to arrive.

Yuwen Tai could already see the people outside the city from a distance. It was only the Imperial Tutor and his Ta'er. The joy on his face could no longer be concealed and he unconsciously let his horse run faster. He had not seen his son for over a month.

Cen Xue had already opened the window of the carriage and stretched out her neck to look outside. As she got closer, she could already clearly see the two words' Kyoto '. Cen Xue thought to herself,' Shi, I'm back … ' I'm back...
