Chapter 96 Sleeping on the Same Bed

"General Huo."

Ji Yan walked up to Huo Xiao and bowed.

Huo Xiao nodded and was about to return to the tiger tent, but Ji Yan quickly blocked his way and said, "General Huo, I have something to say."

Huo Xiao's eyebrows were filled with a hint of displeasure. Thinking of the princess still waiting for him in the tent, he said, "It's getting late. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

"General Huo, where are you going?" Ji Yan had no intention of backing down. He stretched out an arm and blocked his way.

Huo Xiao paused, "This doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, right?"

"General Huo, the princess is in the tiger tent. Why don't you rest somewhere nearby after washing up, but go to the tiger tent instead?" Ji Yan looked puzzled.

Huo Xiao's eyes turned cold, and he slowly turned his head, his gaze falling on her face, "You have overstepped your bounds. This is not your business."

"Huo Xiao."

Seeing him walk away in a flutter, Ji Yan took two quick steps and grabbed his cloak.

"Don't think the princess really likes you. She's doing this simply because the emperor is wary of the military power you hold. She's doing this for her younger brother. She had this in mind when the late emperor was still alive. How come after all we've been through, you still can't see through it? She's just using you."

"Use me?" Huo Xiao sneered. "So what if you use me? In this world, everyone is constantly wavering between using others and being used by others. What I regret most now is that the Emperor and the late Emperor both wanted to arrange a marriage between me and the eldest princess, but I rejected them all."

"What?" Ji Yan's breath hitched, "Are you crazy?"

"What if you're crazy?" Huo Xiao sneered.

Now he is willing to become one of her many men in order to get the princess. Is there anything crazier than this?

When the late emperor and the emperor had granted the marriage, he refused it even at the risk of disobeying the order, because he knew that the eldest princess had another man in her heart.

And now...

He was actually able to convince himself that in order to stay by her side, he was willing to become one of her many princes-in-law.

If it were in the past, don't even think about letting him share a woman with others.

Even if it is an unrelated person, he would do such a thing.

He would give me a look of disdain.

crazy?

It's just love.

"The Princess has someone she loves. Everyone in the court knows that she likes Lord Shen, and Lord Shen is highly regarded by the Emperor. If you didn't have these 300,000 troops at your disposal, do you think she would be willing to even glance at you? Now that your brother is like this, I can't watch you go astray!"

Ji Yan pulled at his cloak, trying to pull him back.

It took a long time to pull.

...didn't pull it.

"Don't use my brother to pressure me. Don't even mention that you are not my sister-in-law today. Even if you are my sister-in-law today, you can't interfere in my private affairs!"

There was a hint of warning in Huo Xiao's tone.

"According to what you said, I am really glad that I have the power of this heavy army in my hands, which is why I have won the favor of the eldest princess."

"A sister-in-law is like a mother. Now that Huo Kang is unconscious, I have to take care of your affairs." Ji Yan insisted, "Huo Xiao, wake up a little. You are the only heir of the Huo family now. Are you really willing to be the princess's servant? Even if the princess is willing to continue the Huo family's incense, the emperor will not agree. Once you become the princess's consort, you will no longer be able to take concubines and have children. Do you want to be controlled by her for the rest of your life?"

Huo Xiao sneered, "What good would it do if it continued? Letting my child continue to hold that military power that could cost him his life at any moment? If I didn't have these 300,000 troops at my disposal, would the Emperor still be wary of me?"

Maybe the princess will also show a little more sincerity!

Even if he doesn't become a prince consort, he will not be able to accommodate anyone else in his life except the eldest princess.

However, Huo Xiao did not say this.

After a pause, he continued, "I will pretend I didn't hear what you said today. You don't have to worry about my affairs from now on. If the emperor is really afraid of the military power in my hands and wants to take my head after the war stabilizes, he will not implicate the Ji family or you in the slightest."

Ji Yan's fingertips trembled violently. "You entered the tiger tent tonight and climbed into the eldest princess's bed. Tomorrow morning, the entire army will know about it. Do you really not care at all?"

Huo Xiao ignored her and walked straight towards the tiger tent, raising his hand to lift the curtain of the tiger tent.

A warmth came over her face, with a hint of sweetness that belonged only to the eldest princess.

Su Yunyao seemed really sleepy and had fallen asleep.

Huo Xiao took off his cloak, casually draped it over the back of a chair, lifted a corner of the quilt, and lay down on it.

He hugged the princess from behind, his nose touching her black hair.

Smelling the sweetness on her body, he slowly closed his eyes.

He had been standing outside for a long time and felt a chill.

The moment Su Yunyao lay down, she was awakened by the chill.

But she had just fallen asleep and was very sleepy, so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes.

She turned over, snuggled into his arms, found a comfortable position and fell asleep.

It was such an ambiguous posture, and it was the first time the princess slept with him on the same bed, but he couldn't even think of anything romantic at this moment.

Just like the princess just asked him, aren’t you tired?

How can I not be tired?

During these five years, there was a string in his heart that was always stretched so tight that it was about to break.

Countless sleepless nights, waking up from dreams over and over again.

He is really tired.

Five years.

He finally destroyed Xijing in this land and avenged his father's death, but he did not feel the expected joy in his heart.

On the contrary, it is even heavier.

Although Prince Xijing and Sang Ye had been captured, the eldest prince Sang Yi and the third prince Sang Ning were nowhere to be found.

To cut the grass, you must remove the roots. Sang Ning is brainless and is just a chess piece at the mercy of Sang Ye.

But Sang Yi is different. If it weren’t for Sang Ye coming up with that thing, the gunpowder that the princess mentioned.

Sang Yi is the next king of Xijing.

The fact that Sang Yi has been able to dodge so many assassination attempts by Sang Ye over the years proves that this person must be no ordinary person.

He wants to enter the princess's mansion and become the princess's man. What is the real meaning?

He definitely didn't use Daxia's support to help him regain the throne.

Such an excuse is too clumsy and too obvious, and anyone can guess it. Given Sang Yi's shrewdness, he would definitely not do such a stupid thing.

Since the Prince of Xijing wrote this to him in his own handwritten letter, he must have also given it to the Emperor.

What is he plotting?

Huo Xiao felt a headache and he couldn't remember when he fell asleep.

When he opened his eyes again, he was awakened by the cool touch of lips.

He grabbed the restless hand in a daze.

Su Yunyao's teasing voice came to my ears, "General Huo has already climbed into the bed, and you still want to establish a chastity arch and not be touched?"

Huo Xiao suddenly opened his eyes and met Su Yunyao's playful gaze.

"Princess...Princess."
