Chapter 394: Chapter 394: Then I’ll Kiss You

On the inner bed, His Highness lay neatly on the left side, while the Commandery Princess from her household...

Ugh, she occupied more than half the bed on her own, sleeping spread-eagled with her fair little legs poking out from her wide pant legs.

What was more eye-catching was that not only was the blanket not covering her properly, but the hem of her inner clothes had also ridden up, revealing a stretch of snowy white and soft flesh around her waist.

Miao Zhu scratched her head, unsure what to do, when Leng Yu Yan suddenly turned over, half of her body pressing onto Ye Yiheng.

Miao Zhu panicked, the Commandery Princess was so forward in her approach, what should she do now?

Just as her hand touched the sliding door, Song Guo held it back.

Miao Zhu was shocked, when had this eunuch been behind her?

Song Guo made a silencing gesture, squinting his eyes for a peek at the bed inside before trying to pull Miao Zhu away from the sliding door.

However, this woman was surprisingly strong, and he couldn’t pull her at all.

As a last resort, Song Guo simply had to guard against Miao Zhu suddenly opening the sliding door.

With this guard up, both watched the bed inside closely.

Ye Yiheng woke up first and, seeing Leng Yu Yan without her blanket, covered her with his own.

Oh, oh, oh, they were actually sharing the same blanket now, Miao Zhu tensed, her hand on the doorknob starting to force it open.

Song Guo sensed it and immediately pushed in the opposite direction.

The rustling noises of their tug-of-war clearly reached Ye Yiheng’s ears.

He slightly raised his eyebrows and, taking the chance, kissed Leng Yu Yan on the forehead.

Miao Zhu turned her head and glared at Song Guo, whispering scathingly, "Your Highness has no shame!"

Song Guo retorted, "His Highness is showing love to the Commandery Princess, you know shit!"

To be sworn at like that, Miao Zhu flared up, let go of the doorknob, and grabbed Song Guo by the collar.

Song Guo, not one to show weakness, clenched Miao Zhu’s hand with one of his and with the other dragged her out of the carriage.

Once on the open ground, the two separated.

"You dead eunuch, how dare you curse at me!"

Miao Zhu rolled up her sleeves, ready to throw down.

Song Guo rubbed his nose with a thumb, "So what if I’m a eunuch? The Commandery Princess says I’m a man, are you going to disobey even her words?"

Miao Zhu stared disbelievingly at him, "Impossible! How can a eunuch be a man?"

Song Guo huffed, "If you keep using such language, I will ask His Highness and the Commandery Princess to bestow you to me as a match!"

At these words, Miao Zhu’s anger shot through the roof, it almost seemed like steam would come out of her head.

Finding glaring insufficient, she outright bellowed, "Your Highness is a madman, and you’re a madman too, a lunatic!"

How could she possibly fancy an eunuch?

Upon hearing this, Song Guo quickly moved to cover her mouth, "My dear lady, His Highness and the Commandery Princess are still asleep, do you want to wake both our masters up?"

With Miao Zhu’s crisp and sharp voice, Leng Yu Yan inside the carriage woke up immediately.

Upon waking, she found herself in someone’s arms.

Not only were they sharing the same blanket, but her thigh was also resting on his leg, her lean waist pressed tightly against him.

She tried to get up but didn’t expect the hand around her waist to tighten instantly.

Swallowing her embarrassment, she whispered hoarsely, "Your Highness, Miao Zhu and Song Guo are quarreling, I’ll go take a look."

Ye Yiheng replied lazily, "Kiss me once, and I’ll let you go."

Leng Yu Yan shook her head, unwilling to kiss.

"You kicked me ten times throughout the night, I covered you with the blanket five times, aren’t all these reasons enough for a kiss?"

"You counted that clearly?"

"I’ve always been a light sleeper."

"But at the city gate, I’ve already kissed you, I don’t want to do it again."

He said with a smile, "Then I’ll kiss you."

Since she was still in his embrace, Leng Yu Yan dared only to shake her head slightly. After all, this man was incredibly strong; if she resisted forcefully, she’d end up at a disadvantage.

It wasn’t just a disadvantage, it would probably draw Song Guo and Miao Zhu over to watch.

At that moment, his slender fingers pinched her chin, and his cold, thin lips slowly covered hers.

Leng Yu Yan closed her eyes, pursing her red lips.

Seeing this, he pecked her on the cheek.

The touch was fleeting, as light as a feather brushing past, or as if skimming the very tip of her heart.

Instantly, her face flushed with color.

Ye Yiheng felt greatly pleased, and with a light scratch on the tip of her nose, he chuckled softly.

Outside, the arguing Miao Zhu and Song Guo returned to the carriage; although they didn’t get along, breakfast still had to be prepared.

Subsequently, the sounds of pots and pans clanked into being.

Hearing this, Leng Yu Yan didn’t rush out either, preferring to laze in bed a bit longer, but feeling obliged to sit up because of a certain someone.

Miao Zhu was preparing breakfast, and Song Guo wanted to help, but she simply wouldn’t allow it.

Unable to help her, Song Guo tore some dry rations to feed the wolf pup.

Miao Zhu snorted, "You’re so attentive to this little dog, one might think it’s your son!"

Song Guo pointed at her nose and lowered his voice, "You blind woman, this isn’t some dog, it’s a wolf cub! It’s not my son, it’s the wolf son of His Highness and the Commandery Princess!"

Hearing this, Miao Zhu stood astounded, pointing at the inner room, speechless for a long time.

She wanted to cry, the Commandery Princess was too pitiable!

The Crown Prince was infertile, and yet he had duped their Commandery Princess into co-parenting a wolf son!

Thinking this, Miao Zhu’s annoyance with Song Guo grew, and dropping the pot in her hand, she grabbed his collar and laid into him fiercely.

Song Guo, usually so affable, was furious, "Why are you hitting me?"

"You! With your good looks, why become an eunuch when you could be anything else?"

Hearing this reason, Song Guo lost his temper entirely.

"Did you say I am handsome?"

Miao Zhu paused, "Did I? Well, even if I did, my point was to ask you why you chose to be a eunuch?"

"I come from poverty," he uttered tersely, unwilling to say more.

Miao Zhu fell silent as well; after a while, she said softly, "I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have pointed out your sore spot."

"It’s okay," Song Guo forced a smile.

Gao Yuan went to the border of Prince Zhenbei Mansion’s territory overnight and was surprised to find quite a number of soldiers secretly on the move.

Upon receiving this information, he rode back to Prince Zhenbei Mansion without rest, spurring his horse on through the night.

Before Li Yuyue, he reported every detail of what he had witnessed.

Hearing the news, Li Yuyue felt even more unsettled.

"Secretly find out whose soldiers they are."

"Yes, Princely Heir."

"Proceed with caution, do not alarm the snakes in the grass!"

"I understand."

Li Yuyue waved Gao Yuan away.

He then fell deep into thought. The border of Prince Zhenbei Mansion’s territory was still within Tiansheng Territory; this meant the forces were not foreign, but from within Tiansheng Territory itself.

That no one had reported this situation before indicated the people behind it held significant power and that they did not want Prince Zhenbei Mansion to be aware.

Could it be that his sister and the Crown Prince met with some unfortunate incident in the capital city, and these people did not want Prince Zhenbei Mansion to offer help, thus setting up an ambush at the border?

No, their ambush couldn’t possibly stand against the Northern Garrison, so this ambush wasn’t aimed at them.

This time, the Crown Prince returned to the capital due to the passing of the Empress Dowager, not the Emperor.

If it were the Emperor who had died, it would inevitably provoke a fight for succession among the Princes, putting the Crown Prince in direct danger.

But now, what exactly was the purpose of those ambushes?
