The leading officer coughed awkwardly, then remembered his business. With a stern face, he pulled out a portrait. "The government is apprehending a thief, and you are hereby ordered to..."

Bi Xie looked at him and said, "He is my lover. My parents do not allow our marriage, so we eloped here last night." As she said this, her face turned red, and she pulled the blankets tighter around him, kissing his forehead. "Once we are settled, I will marry him."

The person in her arms trembled slightly, and the sharp fingers around her waist pierced her skin.

The head constable was even more embarrassed. He had come to arrest a thief early in the morning, but instead of catching the thief, he had caught a pair of lovers. Remembering the orders from above, and seeing that Bi Xie was not the person in the portrait, he said impatiently, "When the government is handling cases, make your lover hold his head high."

When Lin Jinwei saw that the yamen runners had no reaction after looking at Bi Xie's face, he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that it was really a misunderstanding, and they were not there to arrest them.

"Ah Yun, since the officials are handling the case, don't be shy, let them see you," Bi Xie ruffled his hair and coaxed him softly.

The group of constables felt that this woman had no demeanor of a head of household and was spoiling the young man too much!

But when the young man raised his delicate and pretty face, the constables were stunned. Such a captivating face! No wonder he could seduce a woman into eloping with him, no wonder the bed was in such disarray, no wonder the two of them hadn't gotten up yet. This face was simply a curse! With such a stunning lover, one would be willing to die on the bed...

Seeing the female constables practically drooling, Bi Xie frowned in displeasure, turned the boy's head back, and simply covered his head with a blanket. "Have you all seen clearly, gentlemen? My lover is someone the government wants to arrest?"

The constables reluctantly withdrew their gazes. The lead constable glanced at the bedding one last time, somewhat regretful that he couldn't look at it any longer. He turned around and said seriously, "Let's go. It's not the man who broke into the prison. Let's look elsewhere..."

A group of yamen runners went out to continue banging on and kicking the doors of other rooms.

Lin Jinwei glanced at the tattered cloth scattered on the ground with a complicated expression. His forehead twitched involuntarily. Without daring to raise his head, he said, "Your Highness, there are no extra clothes. I'll go out and buy a few clothes and also ask a doctor to come back and take a look at you."

Han Yun mumbled an "Mmm" under the covers.

Hearing the footsteps leave and the door close, he abruptly pushed aside the covers, his face flushed with anger as he glared at Bi Xie, "Get your legs off me!"

Bi Xie stared at that angry little face for a while, then slowly moved his leg away, but he was still nestled in her arms. No matter how she moved, their skin would inevitably touch. She moved several times, but he was not satisfied. Gradually, both of their faces turned red.

She heard him speak from above her, his voice tinged with embarrassment and barely suppressed anger: "Xu Xie, where are you going to hit your knee?"

"Let go!" He tugged at the blankets, his face flushed red with anger, trying to get off her.

"No way," Bi Xie's face turned as red as a ripe tomato. She was worried that the yamen runners would be hard to fool, but with her upper body already naked, and now that the blankets were loosened, it would be really a disaster.

"What are you afraid of?" Han Yun was furious. She was a woman, and even if she was exposed, it wouldn't affect her future marriage.

Bi Xie rolled her eyes: "What are you afraid of? I didn't take off your underwear, you should let go." This is indeed a matriarchal society, but she is a modern person.

His lips moved, his eyes glared at her, his face seemingly turning blue with anger. "You just want to see me? I won't let you have your way. Go see your husband!" He slapped her hand away and said fiercely, "Don't touch me!"

Bi Xie was speechless. If she told him that she had not only touched him, but also stripped him naked and took a warm bath with him last night, would he stab her with a dagger?

Ru Hua: "Definitely, so host, you'd better hurry up and win over this villain."

Bi Xie stared into his handsome eyes, her throat suddenly tightening as she said, "Then can you move a little? It's not very nice to be hugging like this." He pressed down on her, telling her not to touch him, but no one knew who was pressing against her chest, her face flushed and her breath coming in gasps.

"Who wanted to hug you?" His ears and neck turned red with urgency. He hurriedly let go, but then touched something soft that made his scalp tingle.

Bi Xie sighed, wondering when Lin Jinwei would return. Although he had closed the door when he left, it was still too awkward to be naked like this. She reached out and pulled the bed curtains over her upper body, quickly wrapped them around her waist, tied a knot, and turned around to see Han Yun clutching the bedding, staring straight at her.

She curled her lips into a flirtatious smile and lightly tapped his forehead. "What are you looking at?"

Han Yun was jolted back to his senses by her tap, his guilty eyes darting around as he stiffened his neck and said, "It's none of your business... I didn't see anything." She moved so fast, what could he possibly see?

That's just too arrogant!

Bi Xie stopped teasing him and picked up her clothes from the ground. They had been torn so badly by her that they were no longer wearable.

Han Yun sat on the couch with his arms crossed, watching her pick up her clothes and then bring over some porridge from the table. He suddenly felt a little dazed, always feeling that she was a general, yet not a general. Would a general really do so much for him? Along the way, he hadn't seen a trace of the general in her, but when she spoke of Kuiyang Kingdom, her resolute expression of wanting to protect it clearly showed that she was a general.

Bi Xie sat down on the bed with the porridge in her hands, scooped up a spoonful, and said, "Are you hungry? Have some porridge to tide you over." She heated it with her internal energy.

He stared at her intently, his stomach rumbling with hunger. He hadn't eaten much on the way here. After hesitating for a moment, he sidled up to her, took a sip of porridge, and while drinking, looked at her, asking the question that had been on his mind, "Why are you being so nice to me?"

"Was I bad to you before?" Bi Xie raised his eyelids slightly.

He swallowed the porridge, his eyes dimming. Was he good to him? He had been raised without worrying about food or clothing for eight years, how could he not be good?

"It's not as good as it is now," he muttered softly.

Bi Xie pretended not to hear: "Huh? What did you say?"

He immediately shut up, glared at her, and took another sip of porridge: "It's nothing. I just said this porridge is awful, it has no flavor at all."

Bi Xie smiled, then suddenly looked down at him and said, "I'm not lying to you this time. I really didn't summon those people."

He trembled, his eyes instantly reddening: "So what?" he said, his lips pressed into a straight line, his voice hoarse as he stared at the bowl of porridge, "I won't believe you anymore."

Bi Xie sighed. It seemed that regaining the villain's trust in her was a long and arduous road ahead.

Lin Jinwei returned in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. As soon as he closed the door, he showed a solemn expression. A middle-aged doctor carrying a medicine box was pushed in, panting, "Where is the patient? What's wrong? It's so urgent, it's making me feel like I'm about to die."

"Don't come in!" Before the middle-aged doctor could even enter, a hoarse command suddenly came from behind the curtain, "Pass in the clothes."
