Chapter 78

As soon as Zhan Yue said this, Jia Shan couldn't help but glance at him. He saw the sparkle in his eyes, and he didn't seem embarrassed at all after learning the truth, which was very different from what he thought.

Jiashan knew that she had lost half the game. She turned away and said lightly, "No more guessing."

She said she didn't guess, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised. Her skin was as white as snow, and she was very lovely.

Zhan Yue smiled and said, "It can be seen that the princess already has the answer in her heart."

Jiashan's face was as bright as the moon, and her eyes were as bright as the stars. She did not answer, but changed the subject and said, "Tomorrow, you will be on duty in the palace again."

"Are you going back to the Princess's Mansion with me tonight, or should I accompany you to stay at the Duke of Anguo's Mansion?" Jiashan's tone softened. When she was having her period, her hands and feet would always feel a little cold. Sleeping with someone holding her at night would make her feel more comfortable, and she would absorb the warmth unconsciously.

When Zhan Yue heard her say this, his expression softened, and he raised the corners of his lips: "Are you willing to stay with me in the Anguo Mansion for one night?"

"I stayed at the princess's mansion yesterday. If I stay here again today, I'm afraid it will get out and it will be bad for your reputation." Zhan Yue's eyes curved slightly, and he whispered, "Or, wait until everyone is asleep, and then I'll come quietly."

Jiashan said with a smile: "Why go to such great lengths? I will go back to the Anguo Mansion with you."

"It's not a dangerous place." Jiashan added.

Zhan Yue smiled and gently called her by her nickname: "Ling Jiang."

Jiashan tilted her head and hummed in a strange way. Zhan Yue then pressed her head against his shoulder with a slight force and said, "Sleep like this."

His shoulders and arms were thick and warm, and Jiashan soon felt like a sleepy person finding a pillow. The worries that he had experienced in the Pear Garden of the Qin Palace in the morning miraculously eased a little when he leaned on his shoulders.

Jiashan felt that it was because Zhan Yue had given her such a strong feeling in both of her lives. Although he did not belong to her in the last life, he still gave her a sense of shock and security in front of Dongzhimen.

In this life, they are husband and wife, and they just need to share everything. Yuankang's eyesight can be cured, so what else can't be overcome?

Thinking of this, Jiashan finally smiled with relief.

She leaned on Zhan Yue's shoulder and slept for a short time, about the length of an incense stick.

By the time the carriage arrived at the gate of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, it was already dark.

Su Yu was holding the bags of medicinal herbs that Princess Qin had insisted on giving her, and Liu Qi went to the backyard to prepare dinner.

After Zhan Yue got off the carriage, he saw Jia Shan yawning and looking listless, like a sleep-deprived little fox slave. He smiled gently and said, "In such a short while, your shoulders almost got wet."

This is making fun of Jiashan, who slept so soundly all the way.

Knowing that Zhan Yue was joking, Jia Shan still couldn't help staring at him with wide eyes. She laughed and scolded, "Nonsense."

"No, I'll punish you to carry me into the palace." Although Jiashan sprained her ankle in the Prince of Qin's palace, she is no longer seriously injured and can walk without any problem. However, when she saw Zhan Yue like this, she felt that he was taking advantage of her and was too "arrogant".

I thought he would definitely not agree.

Although ordinary couples also have the joy of having sex in their rooms, that happens when no one is around and the two of them are having fun. After all, Zhan Yue has reached this position, and he is at the gate of the Duke of Anguo's mansion, with so many people watching. Jia Shan originally planned to tease him, so he went down the steps.

Unexpectedly, Zhan Yue remained silent. In full view of everyone, he half-knelt down in a serious manner.

Seeing Jiashan still in a daze, he turned his head again and said calmly, "Come up."

Zhan Yue was a man who was always innocent and famous for his cold and unruly character. Seeing Zhan Yue like this, not only Jiashan, but even Dancui and Jianlan who were serving beside him were stunned.

Although both the "carrying" and "hugging" postures are intimate acts, their meanings are different in the eyes of others.

"Back" is like having a mountain on your back. The mountain on your back presses you down steadily, putting you in a disadvantageous position.

"Hugging" is different; it is simply a possessive behavior.

Jiashan's heart skipped a beat. She didn't know why, but her eyes felt a little sore. She asked in a low voice, "Do you really want me to carry you on your back?"

Zhan Yue said: "If you don't come up, I will leave."

He spoke firmly, but showed no intention of getting up. He continued to wait patiently for Jiashan.

Jiashan hesitated for a moment, and seeing that Zhan Yue was still squatting there firmly, she slowly climbed onto his back.

This was the first time Zhan Yue carried her on his back, and he smelled very good. The satin shirt he was wearing was just made by someone in Jiashan a few days ago, and it felt very good and had a clean smell.

Jiashan's face was calm, but she closed her eyes calmly on his back. Her cheeks were half red, and she gently rubbed his neck.

Zhan Yue paused for a moment before returning to normal.

He walked slowly, one step deep and one step shallow, until he carried Jiashan back to the couch in the room, and Jiashan finally opened his eyes as if waking up from a dream.

Zhan Yue poured himself a cup of tea. He had always been a man with keen observation skills. Seeing Jiashan rubbing his ankle gently, he thought of the medicinal herbs in Su Yu's hand.

Zhan Yue couldn't help but ask with burning eyes: "Did your foot get hurt?"

Jiashan was afraid that he would worry, so he said lightly: "It was a sprain, but I applied medicine this afternoon, so it's nothing serious."

"It was because the Princess of Qin was worried that I wouldn't fully recover that she asked me to take the medicine back home," Jiashan said.

Zhan Yue was skeptical, so he simply pulled off Jiashan's embroidered shoes and rolled up her trouser legs carefully to take a look.

Jiashan's feet were very white, and her five fingers were round and smooth, with a faint sheen. Her skin was moist and translucent, and her nails were painted with fashionable nail polish. Her feet were not even as long as Zhan Yue's palms.

Zhan Yue smelled the cool ointment on her ankle, so he carefully reached out and pressed her ankle. He stared at her and asked, "Does it still hurt? Can you move?"

A woman's bare feet are the most precious. Although they are already married, Jiashan has never had her feet stared at like this before, so she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

She rubbed her ankle slightly in his palm and said softly, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

"It doesn't look swollen," Zhan Yue's fingers, covered with thin silk, gently rubbed her skin again, and he said, "It shouldn't be a problem."

Jiashan took back her bare feet, hugged her legs and said, "I told you, it's not a problem."

Sensing the embarrassment in Jiashan's tone, Zhan Yue looked directly at her. He looked calm and composed: "I'm not an outsider."

"Are you going to be shy even if you show it to your own husband?" Zhan Yue smiled and raised his eyebrows. "Princess?"
