Chapter 118: Wanting to possess the princess alone is equivalent to losing her forever
"Go and bring over the spy we captured from Nanfeng Pavilion..."
Everyone looked confused.
Could something have happened?
That spy from Nanfeng Pavilion has been imprisoned for more than half a year. Why is he suddenly being brought in for interrogation today?
-
When Huo Xiao climbed in through the window.
Lightning, who was dozing off, cried out in Ma Peng.
Su Yunyao was reading a book with great interest.
As soon as his toes touched the ground, he heard her say, "Mouthless thing."
There seemed to be a hint of displeasure in the tone.
Huo Xiao was startled and knelt on the ground, "I know I was wrong."
Su Yunyao looked up at him with a startled look in her eyes. "Why are you back?"
After saying that, she put down the sketchbook in her hand and sat up slightly straighter.
"come over."
In the past, whenever he said this, Huo Xiao would come over without wasting a second.
But at this time.
He was still kneeling there straight, motionless.
Su Yunyao was full of questions, "What are you doing kneeling there?"
Huo Xiao lowered his eyes, pursed his lips and said, "It is you who have offended the princess. When I return to the capital tomorrow, I will accept the punishment myself."
Su Yunyao stood up, walked in front of him, squatted down, cupped his cheeks with both hands, and made him look into her eyes. "Why are you pretending to be a chaste husband here? Weren't you quite proactive when we were in the general's bed?"
Huo Xiao's ears turned red when he heard this.
Only then did he slowly raise his head and meet Su Yunyao's eyes, "Princess, didn't you just say that I am a mouthless creature?"
Su Yunyao was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing. "I've seen people picking up money before, but this is the first time I've seen you picking up insults like this. I was talking about the male protagonist in the picture book. When did I talk about you?"
Huo Xiao: ...
His originally rosy cheeks were stained with embarrassment.
Su Yunyao grabbed his hand, her slender fingers slipped through the gaps between his fingers, interlocked theirs, pulled him up from the ground, and walked towards the bed.
"I thought you wouldn't be back for a few days."
"I am so eager to go home." Huo Xiao said in a muffled voice. After a pause, he continued, "Princess, I have missed you every day since you returned from Ximen Pass."
"You've been talking more than usual today." Su Yunyao pinched his chin. "You were so scared just now, is it because you were not summoned to the capital?"
"No." Huo Xiao said firmly, "I thought the princess didn't like me..."
All the unfinished words fell between Su Yunyao's lips and teeth.
"Fool."
There were noises in the bedroom that shouldn't have happened.
Pearl, who was guarding outside the door, was alert for a moment.
If it were before, she might have thought that the princess was whining because she was uncomfortable, but now...
Pearl and Coral looked at each other and walked away tacitly.
Agate was bewildered. "What are you two doing? I didn't hear any noise in the room. Is the princess feeling unwell?"
She was about to push the door open and go in, but Pearl grabbed her wrist and said, "Don't go in. The princess is feeling very comfortable. Don't go in."
"But...Princess...listen..." Manjue was so anxious that she couldn't speak coherently. "Is there anyone in the princess' room?"
Zhenzhu nodded solemnly, "General Huo just went in through the window, so you shouldn't go in."
"General Huo?" Manjue's eyes widened in an instant, and she almost cried out in surprise, "When did the princess talk to General Huo... I... How come I don't know anything?"
"Okay, let's go boil some water." Pearl said with great experience.
"Boiling water? Didn't the princess just take a bath? Why is there still need to boil water?" Agate was puzzled.
"Agate, how come you don't understand anything!"
Coral, who had been standing aside without saying a word, couldn't help but sneer.
Thinking about the first time the princess was with General Huo in the general's mansion, Pearl said the same thing to Agate.
But at this time, she looked like an experienced person and began to educate Agate.
The sky in the east was turning pale, and the bedroom finally became completely quiet.
Su Yunyao nestled in Huo Xiao's arms, half asleep and half awake.
"Princess, I want to discuss something with you. I wonder if you can agree to it."
"Hmm?" Su Yunyao replied vaguely, "What? Could it be that you want the emperor to grant us a marriage?"
Huo Xiao's expression froze.
Of course he wanted the emperor to grant him a marriage with the princess.
But he knew that the princess would not agree.
Didn't the princess tell him clearly and plainly a long time ago?
Wanting to possess the princess alone is equivalent to losing her forever.
How could he bear to lose the princess forever?
Huo Xiao held her arms tighter.
"Princess, that's not what I meant. I wanted to say that I spend so little time in Shengjing, and so little time with you. I beg you to do me a favor and reserve a room for me in your mansion. Then, when I return to Shengjing, I can visit you openly, without having to climb over walls and windows like I did today."
Su Yunyao pinched his cheek with one hand and chuckled, "General Huo, aren't you afraid of the world's criticism? A dignified general has become this princess's nameless servant."
"As long as I can be with the princess, I don't care about these things."
Su Yunyao pecked the corner of his lips lightly. "After you report to the emperor tomorrow, come to the mansion and choose a room. The princess's mansion is so big, don't make me search and pick. What room do you mean by a room? I will give you a yard."
Huo Xiao's eyes lit up, "Thank you, Princess."
"Okay, aren't you tired at all? I'm so sleepy, go to sleep."
Su Yunyao was so tired that her fingers had no strength left, and she fell asleep while curled up in the quilt.
Huo Xiao tucked in the quilt for her.
"Princess, I am leaving. I will move to your residence tomorrow."
Pearl saw Huo Xiao coming out of the princess's room and brought Lightning to Huo Xiao's side, "General Huo."
"The princess is tired. Please be quiet and don't disturb her while she is resting."
After saying that, he climbed onto the horse's back and pulled the reins.
Lightning...didn't move!
Huo Xiao: ...
He couldn't help but patted him on the butt, "You can't stay in the princess's house. You don't even recognize your master."
Lightning then reluctantly took a step forward.
When Su Yunyao woke up, it was already past noon.
The emperor's oral order came from the palace, asking her to enter the palace to attend General Huo's celebration banquet.
The original words of the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict were that General Huo had been exhausted from the long journey, and the Emperor, out of sympathy for General Huo, allowed him to have a good rest for a day and scheduled the celebration banquet in the evening.
Su Yunyao yawned lazily.
Is he working hard?
Thinking about how he secretly climbed into bed last night and looked so full of energy.
Su Yunyao felt that she was the one who was really working hard!
No wonder picture books like to write stories about princesses and generals.
Which princess wouldn't like a general with eight-pack abs, great physical strength and handsome looks?
"Got it, I'll go there later..."
