She is right.
He could hardly move a step in this deep palace. Once she extended a helping hand to him, who knows how many people would focus their attention on him. He had long been accustomed to it, but Jun Li was different. If someone set their sights on her because of him.
He couldn't put her in danger just for the sake of a little warmth.
However, he was reluctant to let go of this warmth.
Perhaps, he should make a choice. If he wanted to be close to her and make sure she had no worries, he could only pave a path for her and create a garden for her.
Jun Shihuai hung the bow and arrow on his back again. Jun Li was still sitting on the ground, but Jun Shihuai had already bent down and grabbed her hand. Before Jun Li could react, he exerted a little force and Jun Li moved towards him. He moved quickly and the next second, he picked Jun Li up horizontally.
As long as Jun Li looked up, she could see his firm chin and tightly pursed lips.
"Royal sister, let's go."
Looking at him like this, he must have his own ideas. Jun Li suddenly felt relaxed all over and her feet didn't hurt anymore. She nodded and put her arms around Jun Shihuai's neck.
Her sudden intimacy made Jun Shihuai's body stiffen. This was the first time the two of them were so intimate. The last time was when he helped her with her hair. At that time, he wanted to hug her to see if her body was really so warm.
Today, he finally got what he wanted, but he didn't expect that this warmth would make him want to cry. He had lived in this palace for fifteen years and thought that he was like the grass in the yard, living a miserable life and maybe withering away one day. But he didn't, because she reached out her hand to him, so he would hold her hand tightly and never let go.
Jun Shihuai didn't dare to look down at her, for fear that she would see the light flashing in his eyes. He could only greedily hug her tighter and tighter.
Jun Li nestled in Jun Shihuai's arms, smelling his scent, and fell asleep unknowingly. When she woke up, she was already in the tent. Wen Yu was guarding her side. Seeing her wake up, he hurriedly brought her warm water. After Jun Li drank two sips, her dry throat was moistened. There were many people talking outside, and the flickering light of a fire was shining on the tent.
"Is it night already?"
"Princess, it's been more than an hour since nightfall."
"How did the princess come back?"
When Wen Yu mentioned this, she couldn't hide her fear on her face. Jun Li saw her expression and was immediately puzzled. Wen Yu said, "After the princess left, I stayed outside the tent and only went in to light the fire after dark. Who knew that when I came in, the princess was sleeping soundly. I was startled and waited here for her to wake up."
Jun Li nodded. It seemed that Jun Shihuai had thought it through, so he secretly sent her in, fearing that she would be discovered. Seeing Wen Yu still looking at her with suspicion, Jun Li made up a lie: "Hunting was too boring, so I came back a long time ago. You were distracted at the time, so you may not have noticed me coming in."
After she said that, Wen Yu was not so sure. After all, she had been outside the whole time, and maybe she really had been distracted. Otherwise, how could the princess have come in? After figuring it out, she excitedly said, "It's so lively outside. Princess, are you going out?"
