Chapter 209 Concubine Su shamelessly occupies the bed
Su Tingwan dressed herself neatly and arrived outside Prince Heng's tent, but the soldiers stopped her. "It's very late now, and the prince is resting. No one can enter without the prince's permission."
She said, "I am the prince's concubine, can't I be too?" What are these soldiers doing? In fact, she didn't know that this order was given by Xie Shang.
"The prince never said he wanted the concubine to go in," the soldier said awkwardly.
"Your Highness, it's me, Wanwan! It's so cold outside, please let me in!" Su Tingwan didn't care anymore. Anyway, she had decided to share a tent with Xie Shang, so she could take care of him and prevent that Physician Ye from having any wicked thoughts.
Inside the tent, Xie Shang had indeed gone to sleep. He didn't know that Su Tingwan would come at this hour. He thought the Su family would take care of her and they could talk about it tomorrow.
In fact, it took Su Tingwan at least two hours to tidy herself up. The soldiers were all asleep, and they needed to set off earlier the next morning.
These days, Xie Shang has been traveling by carriage, but the carriage hasn't been going too fast, and we haven't dared to let him ride in the carriage all the time. We need to make sure he gets a good rest at night so that he can recover from his injuries, which is why the journey has been a bit slow.
She persisted outside, so Xie Shang frowned and said in a deep voice, "Let her in. Go and invite Guard Lin over; I need to speak with him."
Su Tingwan glared at the soldier. Today, she was dressed in an exceptionally flamboyant manner, and she swayed her hips as she entered the tent. Anyone who didn't know her would think she came from a brothel.
The soldier shuddered, took a step back, and hurriedly went to fetch Lin Feng.
After Su Tingwan came in, Xie Shang also sat up from the bed. She plopped down in front of Xie Shang and said, "Is Your Highness's injury better? Let me take a look."
Her hair fell over her chest, and despite her prominent breasts, she didn't feel cold. She had put on makeup and lipstick, and her gentle and tender appearance was completely different from her previous demeanor. The style of her clothes was also very different from what she wore in Shengjing, and was quite inconsistent with her usual attire.
He remembered that Su Tingwan liked to wear close-fitting clothes, looking clean and refreshing, even somewhat heroic. When did she change?
Xie Shang said, "You're almost fully recovered. Why didn't you stay in Shengjing? You ran away on your own..."
"I didn't run away on my own. It was Her Majesty the Empress who allowed me to return to the border. Who knew I would encounter bandits and lose my luggage?" Her voice was weak and barely audible, and she looked extremely aggrieved.
Xie Shang was puzzled. There were indeed many bandits on the road, and they became more rampant as the year drew to a close. Su Tingwan had also brought guards, but the guards died, yet she escaped unharmed. Although she knew martial arts, her skills were not very good.
He was also skeptical and didn't point it out to her. Xie Shang deliberately said, "Tomorrow, the King will send someone to the market to buy you some clothes and jewelry, and then send you back to the border..."
Upon hearing this, Su Tingwan immediately became anxious, "I'm not going back."
"Didn't you say you haven't been home for a long time? Go stay for two months and then come back."
Su Tingwan hugged Xie Shang and snuggled against him, saying coquettishly, "I can't bear to leave Your Highness. I don't want to go back. Wherever Your Highness goes, I will go. I want to stay by Your Highness's side and take care of you."
Xie Shang felt unwell, and his body was stiff. He had two injuries, one in his leg and one in his back. The arrow in his leg almost cost him his leg, and it took him a long time to recover and be able to walk again.
He gave Su Tingwan a push, "Get up first."
"No, I want to stay with my husband."
"You're pressing on my wound..."
Su Tingwan shifted her position and then tried to pull down his pants, "Ah, I'm hurting Your Highness, let me see..."
"I'm fine, you can get up now." Xie Shang was speechless. Su Tingwan's intentional or unintentional teasing had no interest in him whatsoever; on the contrary, he felt somewhat impatient and disgusted.
At this moment, Lin Feng suddenly burst into the tent and saw Consort Su climbing on top of the prince, preparing to take off his pants. He exclaimed, "This humble servant has come at the wrong time."
Just as he was about to leave, Xie Shang said coldly, "Come back."
After being yelled at, Su Tingwan became obedient. Xie Shang pushed her away and got out of bed alone. He was calm and composed. "Prepare a tent for Consort Su."
"Ah! Now?" It's almost dawn, Your Highness, please stop bothering everyone.
"Not now. What did I send you here for?" Xie Shang said in a deep voice.
"No need for that. I can share a room with the Prince. We're husband and wife." Su Tingwan quickly stopped him. She had already made up her mind. She would stick to Xie Shang like a leech and make him have a child with her.
"I am injured, and the bed is too small..."
"It's alright, I don't need to sleep in the bed, I can sleep on the floor. I just want to take good care of Your Highness." Her voice became soft and sweet, almost pleading, looking pitiful. "It's so late, I'm really tired, Your Highness... please let me stay. I promise I won't bother you."
Back then, he would hold her and sleep with her without her even having to beg him, but now he makes all sorts of excuses. Does he really hate her that much? Does he really not love her anymore?
Su Tingwan felt a chill in her heart. She had no choice but to leave the Su family home. She then said, "Then I'll trouble Guard Lin to escort me to my father's tent!"
Lin Feng was dumbfounded. Should he take her or not? She had legs and feet, couldn't she go by herself? Why did he have to take her?
Xie Shang felt increasingly disgusted. Wasn't Su Tingwan's decision to have Lin Feng escort her to General Su's tent a clear indication that he didn't like her?
The fact that they were able to defeat the Hu tribe so quickly and return to the capital in complete victory is a great achievement for the Su family. The Su family has been stationed on the border for a long time and has a good understanding of the terrain, which made their counterattack even easier.
He disliked Su Tingwan's attempts to manipulate him and use the Su family to suppress him.
Su Tingwan believed that Xie Shang's victory was entirely due to the Su family, which indirectly negated Xie Shang's abilities and all his efforts.
Xie Shang gestured for Lin Feng to leave, then turned to Su Tingwan and said, "Go to bed and sleep!"
Upon hearing this, Su Tingwan quickly climbed onto the bed and moved to the inside, making room for most of the bed. "Your Highness, please come to the bed as well. I don't take up much space."
This hour was truly awkward; Xie Shang had never wanted a day to end so quickly.
He sat on the edge of the bed, feeling the pain in his back wound return. He glanced at Su Tingwan, who was deliberately striking a seductive pose, and picked up a book. "You go to sleep first. I'll read for a while."
So he turned to the side and started reading by himself, not wanting to pay any attention to her.
Su Tingwan thought that Xie Shang hadn't been with a woman in a long time, and that seeing her so alluring, he would touch her. But she was wrong; Xie Shang had absolutely no interest in her.
Seeing that he wasn't sleeping, she was also exhausted, so she snuggled into the warm blankets and quickly fell asleep.
Xie Shang glanced at her, put down his book, and left the tent. The soldiers on night duty saw him come out and respectfully greeted him, "Your Highness."
"It's nothing. I just couldn't sleep, so I came out to take a look."
The soldiers could hear everything that was happening inside. They felt embarrassed for the concubine. Was this impatient behavior really the daughter of the general?
Xie Shang then ordered people to investigate the bandit hideout that Su Tingwan had mentioned.
