"Princess, you..."
Huo Gang turned around hastily, his face flushed red, and he rubbed his hands in bewilderment. "You...what are you doing? Don't do this...if someone sees us..."
Ge Shuyan opened his arms and hugged Huo Gang from behind.
Huo Gang trembled all over. He wanted to pry open Ge Shuyan's hands, but when he touched Ge Shuyan's skin, he seemed to have no strength left.
"Brother Huo, I'm not just repaying a favor, I...I really like you. You like me too, right?"
During the short time she spent with Huo Gang, Ge Shuyan could feel Huo Gang's special care for her.
Especially the way he risked his life for her...
Huo Gang was extremely confused. Only then did he realize that he did feel a little different towards Ge Shuyan.
Is this... love?
Huo Gang once had a fiancée, but it was arranged by their parents. He had seen his fiancée several times and had a good impression of her, but he did not...
The feeling of blushing and heart beating when being with brother Shuyan.
"Brother Huo, I have been fighting on the battlefield like a man since I was old enough to understand. Everything I do is not for myself. Even coming to the Central Plains to marry a princess is to consolidate my brother's position as Khan..."
Ge Shuyan has been strong since she was young and has never confided her weakness in front of anyone. But when she faced Huo Gang, she wanted Huo Gang to understand her.
She wanted to be comforted by her lover.
"Brother Huo, in my life, I have never been able to make the decision on anything, except this one thing..."
Huo Gang slowly turned around, looked at Ge Shuyan, whose eyes were filled with tears, and couldn't help but reach out and stroke her cheek.
"Brother Huo." Ge Shuyan pressed Huo Gang's hand on his face.
Huo Gang's heart softened and he carefully held Ge Shuyan in his arms.
"Princess……"
Ge Shuyan didn't say anything else, but slowly untied Huo Gang's belt.
Huo Gang's heartbeat quickened, and his remaining sanity made him hold Ge Shuyan's hand.
"Princess, we can't do this. You will have to be checked after entering the palace. If you are discovered entering the palace... well..."
Ge Shuyan didn't let Huo Gang finish his words, she stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips.
Huo Gang's mind went blank.
His whole body was stiff, and he let his brother Shuyan push him and fall to the ground.
The bed curtains were gradually drawn down, the crescent moon outside the window was blocked by a layer of clouds, the stars were twinkling in the sky, and breezes blew by, causing the leaves in the yard to sway gently.
In the distant sky, a meteor streaked across the sky, like a burst of fireworks, which after shining brightly fell straight into the depths.
Everything seemed to have returned to silence.
Ge Shuyan lay in Huo Gang's arms, and the air was still filled with the spring atmosphere after the beautiful moment.
"Princess, I... will take you away." Huo Gang asked tentatively, "Let's leave here and fly away."
Ge Shuyan didn't speak for a long time.
She sat up slowly and stared at Huo Gang in a daze. "Where can we go? If we leave... the emperor will definitely blame the Turks. If the two sides fight again, the people on the border of the two countries will suffer."
"What's more, you are now a member of the Prime Minister's Mansion. If you kidnap the princess who is to be married off, aren't you afraid of implicating Princess An Ning who has done you a favor?"
Huo Gang lowered his eyelids, his mind filled with thoughts.
"Brother Huo, do you regret it?" Ge Shuyan asked in a low voice.
"No." Huo Gang denied hastily.
Ge Shuyan just smiled lightly and lay down next to Huo Gang again.
"I know that this matter...I was too willful. However, I will never regret it. If there are any problems in the future, I will bear them all by myself."
Ge Shuyan leaned on Huo Gang's chest and whispered softly: "I am satisfied to be your husband and wife for one night."
Huo Gang hugged Ge Shuyan tightly, but didn't know what to do until Ge Shuyan kissed his lips again.
When I woke up the next morning, Ge Shuyan was no longer around.
Huo Gang hurriedly put on his clothes and chased after him, just in time to see Ge Shuyan dressed up and getting into the carriage with the help of a maid.
Ge Shuyan looked back at him, and a helpless and sad smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
After sending Ge Shuyan away, Mu Jingrui dealt with all the subsequent matters concerning the Wanchongshan bandits in just a few days.
Sun Jinyao miraculously recovered under Lu Xiangzi's careful care.
Shangguan Wanning stayed by Sun Jinyao's side almost every day, watching the two of them talking and laughing, and their relationship getting better and better. Lu Xiangzi saw it all and was secretly delighted.
"Ning'er, I see those soldiers outside are preparing to return to the capital, let's follow them."
Lu Xiangzi walked into the room and saw Shangguan Wanning feeding Sun Jinyao medicine. He thought this scene was very beautiful.
"Let's go back to Beijing together?"
Shangguan Wanning really had to go back. She had to hand over the things Wang Xiaoyao gave her to her father as soon as possible.
However, her original plan was to travel separately from Mu Jingrui.
after all……
"If we go back by ourselves, the risks are too great. I'm old, the brat and Huo Gang are both injured, and you three girls..." Lu Xiangzi waved his hands repeatedly, "With Mu Jingrui's team escorting us, at least safety won't be a problem."
Shangguan Wanning lowered her head and remained silent.
"Ning'er, if you don't want to see Mu Jingrui, then let's wait before leaving. Once my injuries recover a little, I can protect you."
"Hey, you really don't take me seriously." Lu Xiangzi was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. He just wanted to return to the capital as soon as possible to let Sun Jinyao and Shangguan Wanning get married to avoid any more trouble.
"Forget it, just listen to Master."
Shangguan Wanning walked to Lu Xiangzi's side and massaged his shoulders. "Master, don't be angry. When we return to the capital, I will take you to Mingxianglou for a delicious meal."
"Hmph, I'm not going." Lu Xiangzi left angrily.
Shangguan Wanning smiled and shook her head, then walked back to the bedside and continued to feed Sun Jinyao medicine.
"Do you feel that Master is biased and always treats you particularly well?"
"Hasn't he always loved you the most? You are his only disciple."
"Actually... you too. He taught me his medical skills, and he taught you without reservation. You also learned a lot, but you never called him Master."
Sun Jinyao didn't say anything and remained silent.
Shangguan Wanning did not ask any further questions. After putting Sun Jinyao to bed, she went back to her room to rest.
At night, Shangguan Wanning sent Grape and Lutong away, put on sleepiness and prepared to go to bed.
For some reason, she felt dry mouth and hot body, as if there was an uncontrollable heat flowing through her body.
She felt more and more uncomfortable and could not help rolling around in bed.
A dark shadow appeared beside the bed. Shangguan Wanning wanted to scream, but no sound came out.
"It's you?" She saw the man's appearance clearly and asked with difficulty, "What do you want to do?"
