Chu Changning tightened his grip, turned to the side, and looked at him with a mocking expression.
"The dignified Second Prince of Lanling Yan was so angered by a few provocative words that he lost his mind. He said he would serve you every night, and you believed him. If Helian Ye knew, he would probably laugh his head off."
"Quick-witted and eloquent."
He grabbed her waist and whispered.
"Then tell me, what did you do while you were eating and living together?"
"Didn't your guards investigate last night? Do I need to tell you myself?"
Yan Beimo tightened his grip on her waist. "Speak."
Chu Changning looked away. "We haven't met many times. Although we share a tent, I sleep on the floor dressed every night. We haven't even held hands. Don't be crazy."
"---"
"Foolish, running off to the borderlands to be a slave for others."
Chu Changning retorted, "You're not stupid. You were provoked into acting like a lion with its mane standing on end by just a few words from him."
As soon as she finished speaking, the atmosphere around her changed, and she stopped talking at the right moment.
In truth, Yan Beimo knew that Helian Ye was doing it on purpose, but when he thought about how long they had spent together, a strange jealousy raged wildly in his heart, growing uncontrollably and making him want to kill.
He stared at her for a long time without saying a word.
The royal hunting grounds covered a vast area. The camp was heavily guarded by the Imperial Guards. Standing on the high platform, the group could see grasslands, forests, shrubs, abundant water sources, and pleasant scenery.
When Yan Beimo arrived on horseback, everyone was already in position, with thousands of banners fluttering in the breeze.
Shen Yan sat in the main seat and narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw Chu Changning following Yan Bei Mo.
Chu Changning noticed his gaze, looked up, and bumped into Helian Ye, who was smiling at her from the side.
Their eyes met, and she immediately looked away.
Why didn't you take a closer look?
His cool voice reached my ears.
Chu Changning wrapped her arm around his and sat down with him.
"I noticed His Majesty's gaze, so I looked up."
That petty scoundrel.
Yan Beimo put one arm around her waist, his gaze seemingly drifting towards Helian Ye.
Helian Ye's face was pale, and he noticed the provocation. His eyes darkened slightly.
The grassland reflects the white clouds, and herds of animals roam the depths of the dense forest.
Shen Yan stood up, drew his bow and nocked an arrow.
Suddenly, Prince An burst into laughter.
"Young Master, aren't you going?"
All eyes turned to them.
Helian Ye leaned back in his armchair, his glassy eyes gleaming in the white light.
“A thief broke into the house yesterday and injured me, so I can no longer ride and shoot.”
The young master of the Western Regions was injured in the palace, which greatly alarmed everyone.
Shen Yan glanced sideways, "What's going on?"
"Your Majesty need not worry, there is nothing to worry about."
At this moment, Yan Beimo, who had slowly risen, looked at him and said gently, "Since you are alright, get on your horse."
"---"
Helian Ye stood up, his devilish face showing a hint of arrogance.
"I am deeply grateful for the invitation from Lord Yan, and I will gladly accept."
The sound of strings and the howling wind brought wild beasts fleeing from the depths of the dense forest.
Shen Yan leaped onto his horse, and with a whoosh, the horn bow in his hand shot out, and the group instantly sped across the vast and boundless land like arrows released from a bow.
Only some officials' wives remained on the Deer Terrace.
Chu Changning breathed a sigh of relief and quietly ate the pastries in the golden cup.
After the Southern Dynasty was destroyed, Princess Jinling fled to Yandu to save her life. Little did she know that she would one day return.
The noblewomen of Kyoto all glanced at her, seemingly casually.
Some of the women who had been bullied by Jinling looked at her with disdain and would occasionally say something sarcastic.
Chu Changning pretended not to hear and continued eating.
"Madam, the imperial physician said that the dosage should be controlled."
Frostmoon behind him spoke up in a reminder.
Chu Changning paused slightly, then turned around. "Go back to the main tent and get a cloak. I feel cold."
Shuangyue frowned almost imperceptibly, but dared not say anything, and left silently.
As soon as she left, Chu Changning immediately descended from the deer platform and headed towards the densely packed tents behind it.
There were many soldiers around her, so she bypassed the main tent and headed towards a secluded spot.
“A-Wan”.
Chu Changning paused, and before he could turn around, he was captured and led to the back corridor.
"Why is it you?"
Helian Ye laughed, "Don't you want to see me?"
Chu Changning took out the fake marching map and handed it to him.
“That’s dangerous. Just send a guard.” She paused, then looked at him seriously. “I also want to remind you, young master, that some of the Eight Princes of the North are having illicit affairs with Yan Bei Mo. Be careful.”
Helian Ye chuckled, waving the marching map in his hand. His pair of crystal eyes were like lotus flowers blooming in the depths of hell, alluring and bewitching.
"I hope the princess from the Central Plains isn't lying to me."
"nature."
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned to leave, but Helian Ye grabbed her wrist.
Chu Changning instinctively shook off the object and turned around.
"What's wrong?"
Helian Ye moved close to her.
"Don't forget, you owe me something."
The two were standing very close, and she could smell his unusual fragrance. She quickly stepped back.
"Has the young master decided what he wants?"
At this moment, the sounds of music and drums came from the distant Deer Terrace, adorned with pearls and colorful tassels, and his voice, amidst the clamor, reached my ears.
"How about you sleep with me?"
Chu Changning felt a chill run through her body and frowned.
"Young Master, please don't joke around."
Helian Ye chuckled, his sculpted features exuding the allure of a foreign youth, his captivating charm undeniable.
"So scared?"
Chu Changning knew he was being deliberately ambiguous, and recalling what happened last night, she said calmly.
"Young Master, do not deliberately provoke Yan Beimo, lest you ruin the plan."
He crossed his arms, his bright red, smiling lips appearing even more alluring.
"This is the first time I've seen Yan Beimo, that vengeful madman, look so embarrassed. I'm quite pleased."
Chu Changning, "---"
She didn't want to argue anymore and turned to leave.
But as soon as she rounded the tent, she saw a man in a long, dark white robe standing quietly in an open space not far away, looking at her.
Chu Changning's heart skipped a beat as she realized that the people behind her had followed, and she gritted her teeth inwardly.
Helian Ye deliberately followed Yan Beimo to provoke him.
"My Lord".
Yan Beimo glanced at the two of them, his expression neither sad nor happy.
Chu Changning didn't know what he was thinking, and dared not speak rashly.
"What did the Marquis of Yan hunt down?"
From afar, Helian Ye spoke with a smile.
Yan Beimo wrapped one arm around her slender waist, his smile not reaching his eyes.
"Young Master, have you hunted anything good?"
"A wild fox, too bad it got away."
Yan Beimo raised an eyebrow, "Household fox."
After saying that, he put his arm around her waist and walked back.
This is Nanyuan, a place with lush vegetation and tents scattered all around.
Yan Beimo glanced at the people behind him out of the corner of his eye, casually found a tent, and pushed her inside.
The tent was surrounded by weapons, but there was no one there.
Chu Changning steadied himself and was about to explain when he pinned her against the doorway, ripped open her clothes, and pressed down on her.
"Do you think he knows what we're doing in there?"
Chu Changning shuddered and muttered, "You're insane."
Yan Beimo was scolded, and then he grabbed her and squeezed her hard, making her gasp in pain.
Before she could even catch her breath, cool, light kisses landed on her slender back.
Chu Changning struggled and twisted around, "There are people everywhere here, don't go crazy."
