Yue Chanjuan's heart tightened. Was it about to begin again? Are they going to continue being the bait?
"This time, who is the prince's guest?"
Yue Chanjuan's smile was cold and indifferent. Since when did their conversation have nothing to do with profit and scheming?
She was the chess piece in his hands, being pushed to the edge of the cliff time and time again. No one knew when she would slip and fall.
"Do you think that This King gave you the spring of wine just to make you act as bait again?"
Tuoba Fei did not open his eyes. His tone was indifferent and without any ripples. There was a faint smile on his face. Was he really that unbearable in her heart?
"Isn't that so? Or, my lord, you don't want me to know who the big fish is this time? I should not have asked, please do not take it to heart. "
Yue Chanjuan lowered her eyes. Right now, she was just a bait, what qualifications did she have to ask too many questions? Except, she wanted to know who she was dealing with this time, and which large fish she was going to catch. She hoped that she'd be able to prepare in advance. This wasn't too much.
However, she could not say such a thing in front of him, nor did she dare to say much. Everything that had happened that night had long been deeply engraved in her heart. The reverence for him grew, but the reliance grew less and less.
If Forton the Dog King was a hungry wolf, then he was a fierce tiger that made the hungry wolves tremble in fear. If Forton was a devil, then he was the Ghost King. In the face of obedience and awe that Rendon did not have, she felt it rising from the bottom of her heart. If the person in her room that night had been him, not Rendon, she did not know if she would have had the courage to refuse.
Or perhaps, it was useless to refuse. In front of him, she had already used up all her tricks.
Tuoba Fei opened his eyes and scrutinized her. Did she resent him in her heart?
"Are you resenting This King?"
"I wouldn't dare. How could Chan Juan dare to resent Your Highness? She could only feel gratitude towards him. If the Prince didn't arrive in time, how could I have escaped from the hands of Prince Rong? "
However, she thought to herself, "If you hadn't told me to follow Sard to Xumi, I wouldn't have nearly become a ghost under the iron hooves of ten thousand horses. I wouldn't have almost died and become a cripple. I would never have been humiliated by King Rong and almost robbed of my innocence.
"Come here."
Tuoba Fei stretched out his hand as he saw the distance between Yue Chanjuan and him, as well as the reverence she held towards him.
Yue Chanjuan hesitated for a split-second. She reached out her hand and placed it in Tuoba Fei's hand.
Tuoba Fei exerted a little strength and pulled Yue Chanjuan into his embrace, hugging her slender waist.
"Is Your Highness so suitable?"
The apathetic tone made Tuoba Fei somewhat sullen. "Don't use such a tone to speak to me. I'm very tired. Be obedient and stay in my arms."
Tuoba Fei closed his eyes and took a sniff of the faint, chilly fragrance off Yue Chanjuan's body before calming down all of a sudden. Fatigue welled up in his heart as he laid on the bed and tightly embraced Yue Chanjuan in his arms.
Yue Chanjuan wanted to ask, what was he doing now that he was holding her in his arms?
She was now the fiancée of crabapple and pear alone, the future big fawn of the big moon.
He was the Left Sage King of the Great Moon Branch, a person who relied solely on trust from his senior brother. The two of them should have avoided fighting against one another. If someone were to see what was happening right now, she would simply ignore it. He didn't want to offend her and even if he left her alone, he wouldn't kill her.
But what about him? Could he still preserve Prince Xian of the Left's power and everything?
She wanted to push Tuoba Fei away. No matter what, she did not want him to get into trouble no matter what he did and almost let her die.
"Don't move!"
Tuoba Fei angrily tightened his arms and whispered into Yue Chanjuan's ear, "This king has only hugged you for a short while. Are you so disgusted now?"
"Your highness, if anyone sees you and hears you, I am afraid it will harm your highness."
Tuoba Fei laughed. "This King thought that you didn't want This King to treat you like this. Are you truly worried for This King, or unwilling?"
Yue Chanjuan let out a long sigh. "Your highness is tired. Have a good rest."
"Chan Juan, you're still the one who loves me. I just want to be like that night and hug you and go to sleep."
Yue Chanjuan bit her lips. Tuoba Fei's single sentence had once again stirred up everything that happened that night. She couldn't help but blush as she thought of everything that happened that night, his arrogance and humiliation that night. She was completely embarrassed in front of him and knelt at his feet …
"If you don't want to go back alone, then stay here for a few more days. Why don't you say that you're unwilling to part with me? Even if it's a lie, why not say it?"
Tuoba Fei's voice became lower and lower as he hugged Yue Chan and fell into a deep sleep. Yue Chan glanced sideways at Tuoba Fei's handsome and tired face, not understanding why he was so exhausted. It was as if every time she saw him, he was always graceful and calm.
"Is it because the matter with Hound of the Dogs and the matter with Kun Mi is too troublesome?"
Yue Chan did not move. She quietly laid on top of Tuoba Fei's body. Under the faint sunlight, the fresh smell of grass entered her nostrils and she couldn't help but calm down.
Lying in Tuoba Fei's arms, she too closed her eyes and unknowingly fell asleep.
After an unknown amount of time had passed, a soft call came from outside the tent, "Your Highness, Your Highness …"
Her voice was very soft, but it did not stop. Suddenly, Yue Chanjuan woke up. She was still in Tuoba Fei's embrace. Just a moment ago, she had been in Tuoba Fei's embrace, and she too, fell asleep.
Gently pulling himself out of Tuoba Fei's embrace, he walked to the entrance of the tent and opened the flap. "What happened? Your Highness fell asleep, please let Your Highness rest for a while."
"Princess, your subject greets the Princess. Your subject knows that Your Highness should rest for a while, but the Northern Marquis of Great Karma has invited Your Highness to come. Your subject doesn't dare to not report."
"Alright, I'll go ask the prince to get up."
Yue Chan knew that the people surrounding the tent were Tuoba Fei's trusted aides, so there was no need to worry about Tuoba Fei sleeping in her tent.
"Tuoba Fei, wake up."
As her hand made contact with Tuoba Fei's handsome face, Yue Chan's heart couldn't help but tremble violently as an inexplicable emotion rose in her heart. He thought too much, just like what he did earlier. He could sleep in her embrace for a while.
"I got it, bring me some water, get me a basin of cold water."
Yue Chanjuan took out the basin and had the maidservant bring a basin of cold water. She soaked the towel in the cold water and twisted the towel between her fingers. The cold water made her involuntarily shiver.
He walked in front of Tuoba Fei and used an ice-cold handkerchief to cover Tuoba Fei's face as he gently wiped his face. Tuoba Fei took the handkerchief and placed it over his eyes. A moment later, he took it off and said, "I'm leaving. I'm going to see the northern town's marquis. You'll be able to go back very soon."
As she watched Tuoba Fei walk out of the tent, Yue Chanjuan gazed into the distance. If she returned, where would she be able to return to? Where could she find a place to rest?
He put on the fox fur coat and walked out of the tent, strolling in the army. In the distance was the jade door, and even though he could not see the jade door from here on out, he could vaguely see the mountain outside.
