Chapter 96 The Princess's Delicate Body 2

Gu Li touched his scorched face and said hesitantly: "Aren't you hot?"

The girl's gentle voice suddenly rang out in the cave. Shang Que threw two more pieces of firewood in with a trembling hand.

He reacted and dodged the rising fire in a hurry. When he turned around, he saw the girl with a smile in her eyes.

No one would know how much redness rose on his already flushed face. Shang Que's heart was beating faster and faster, and he said hesitantly: "No... not hot."

In fact, it was a little hot, but he didn't dare to say it.

"If... the princess is hot, I can turn down the fire."

Gu Li dragged his weak body to sit up, and seeing his silly look, he couldn't help but chuckle.

Shang Que was stunned, and his eyes inadvertently swept over Gu Li's body.

The wet cloth was tightly attached to the girl's exquisite body, outlining her figure vividly.

In an instant, Shang Que turned his head sharply as if he was burned by fire, and stammered: "The princess... the princess' clothes are wet, I will go out, you can..."

The words he uttered seemed to burn his tongue, and Shang Que disappeared before he finished speaking.

During this period, he almost tripped over the rocks in the cave.

Gu Li hissed softly as she took off her soaked clothes and hung them by the fire, the smile on her lips growing bigger and bigger.

It was the first time she had seen such a pure "him".

Really...

"Young General, what's your name?" The soft voice floated out of the cave, and Shang Que, who was blowing in the cold wind, shuddered again.

"I am Shang Que." The muffled four words came out, but Gu Li was stunned for a moment.

Shang Que...

There was also this person in the original owner's memory, who was swallowed by a mountain torrent while looking for the princess in the middle of the night.

Now, the person who should have died appeared in front of her.

Gu Li couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips, and said to the outside with a smile: "Thank you, young general Ha Shang, for saving my life."

Now, the people outside didn't reply anymore.

Shang Que hugged his shoulders and stared at the faint shadows of the trees in the distant mountains. The cold rain hitting his face could not cool him down at all.

The princess is so beautiful.

This thought flashed through his mind, and the young general held the sword at his waist with some shame.

He couldn't blaspheme the princess like this!

Gu Li was unaware of the entanglement of the people outside the cave. She used fire to dry her clothes until they were about 70% to 80% dry, and then said: "I'm fine, come in, general."

"No, I'll keep watch for the princess." Shang Que's voice was tense, showing some nervousness.

When the princess was unconscious before, he was afraid that she would have an accident, so he had to stay in the same room with her.

Now that the princess is in good health, how can he blaspheme the princess again?

Gu Li smiled and stroked his slightly damp hair, his voice becoming softer and softer: "Young General, the cave is a bit big, I'm afraid."

The soft voice penetrated into Shang Que's heart like a breeze. He hesitated for a long time and strode into the cave.

"Young General, are you willing to come in?" Gu Li curled his lips and smiled at Shang Que, who was tense.

"I'm sorry." Shang Que only glanced at Gu Li's collarbone, which was slightly exposed due to the wrinkles of his clothes, and lowered his head.

The smile on Gu Li's lips deepened: "What offense? The young general saved me, and I can't even thank you enough."

Shang Que pursed his lips, sat down with his back to Gu Li, and said in a muffled voice: "It's my job, Princess, you are too polite."

He was eighteen years old, actually not young anymore.

Gu Li yawned, wrapped himself in Shang Que's cloak, and said sleepily: "It's late, young general, don't you want to sleep?"

Shang Que stared at the blazing bonfire and said in a muffled voice: "Princess, go to sleep, I'm not sleepy."

When marching on the grassland, it is possible to not sleep for a few days, but not sleeping for one night is not a big deal.

His nervous breath came out through his back without any concealment, and the viciousness of Gu Li's eyebrows and eyes became more and more obvious.

This guy is so green that makes people want to take a bite.

"The mountain road is tiring, and the general doesn't sleep. How can he have the energy to protect me tomorrow?" The rustling sound of fabrics rang out. Gu Li wrapped in his cloak sat by the fire and looked at him sideways: "Huh?"

The moment she looked over, Shang Que felt his heart beating violently.

It was even more violent than the first time he went to the battlefield to kill people.

"I..." His voice was a little hoarse and a little at a loss: "I'm really not sleepy."

He had several reasons to convince the princess in his heart, but he only uttered such a dry sentence.

After Shang Que said it, he wanted to slap himself in the face.

What happened today?

It's like a cat has eaten my tongue.

"Okay." Gu Li nodded with a little disappointment, and rubbed back to the mountain wall: "Then I'll sleep by myself."

After a long time, the sound of even breathing came from a distance, and Shang Que breathed a sigh of relief, and added firewood more diligently.

Can't let the princess get cold.

The next morning, when Gu Li woke up, the bonfire in the distance was still burning, and the thick ashes announced its efforts last night.

But the person sitting next to the bonfire had disappeared in the cave long ago.

Gu Li raised his hand and touched his hot forehead, dragging his weak body out.

Outside the cave was silent, the soldiers were lined up in neat rows, and only the sound of horses' hooves was heard.

The young general, with his back to the soldiers, had a stern breath, and did not look at all flustered as yesterday.

"Is the princess awake?" Shang Kui turned around the moment he heard the footsteps, and saw Gu Li's eyes bright.

Gu Li tugged at his cloak in the cold wind and chuckled, "General, good morning."

"Good morning..." Shang Kui opened his mouth and responded with a red face.

Instantly, the horses stopped pedaling.

Their commander was replaced?

"It's getting late, Princess, let's go." Shang Kui returned to his normal state when he got to the point, and said very quickly: "If the journey is smooth, we can return to the palace before noon."

The princess has suffered a lot outside these two days, and it's time to go back to the palace to recuperate.

"Thank you, General." Gu Li nodded, and then looked at the carriage without a footstool with some embarrassment.

She is now a weak and helpless young lady.

Shang Kui noticed her embarrassment and whispered an apology.

The next moment, Gu Li was carried into the carriage by a pair of strong arms.

Before he could say thank you, two hot sweet potatoes were stuffed into his hands.

"Our military rations are rough, Princess, you can have some breakfast first." The cold young general was unusually considerate at this moment.

"Thank you." Gu Li smiled and lowered the curtain.

At that moment, Shang Que felt as if he had lost something.

Due to the mountain torrents, the group took a detour before reaching the Prince of Yan's Palace.

In front of the palace, the Prince of Yan paced back and forth.

The moment he saw the carriage, his eyes lit up and he went to greet it: "Changning, you are back? Did those people hurt you? Are you in serious condition? Were you scared yesterday?"
