Смертная любовь в эпоху Северной Сун

Глава 101

Seeing that he was changing the subject as usual, Rongyue felt annoyed but helpless, so she could only continue his question by asking, "What?"

"Hehe, why don't you take a guess, General?"

She gave him a cold, dismissive look: "Not in the mood!"

He lightly tapped his palm with his feather fan, glanced at Rongyue, and smiled ambiguously: "The general's old flame is coming!"

The cold expression immediately turned serious: "Ye Fan! This general doesn't mind letting you taste the whipping again!"

Recalling his experience of being beaten, Ye Fan flinched and quickly put on a fawning smile, "General, please don't be offended, please don't be offended, I was just joking! You should save that 'bloated backside' treatment for someone else, I'm too unlucky to deserve such treatment! But—" He changed the subject, deliberately drawing out his words, "It's true that an old friend of yours is coming to visit soon..."

An old friend? Rongyue raised her eyebrows suspiciously: "Who?"

Ye Fan's smile grew even more ambiguous: "Of course, it's the little prince who would risk his life to shield you from an arrow..."

His expression froze for a moment: "The Second Prince?!"

He smiled but remained silent. "General, this young prince of Nancha Kingdom isn't so easy to deal with! Heh heh, this time you're in for a real headache!" Ye Fan thought gloatingly, fanning himself with his feather fan.

Rubbing her temples, Rongyue was troubled and utterly helpless: Why did he come?

When do you estimate he'll arrive?

He counted on his fingers, pretending to think, "I sent someone to Nanling to pick him up three days ago. I reckon he should arrive around today..."

"What?! You received the news three days ago?!" Rongyue glared at the composed Ye Fan, her anger barely contained. "You're only informing me about something that happened three days ago today?!"

He shrugged helplessly: "The general didn't ask. Besides, why bother the general with so many important matters every day with such a trivial matter? I can handle it all by myself!"

"Ye Fan! You..."

"Mistress! Mistress! Sha Ye, can you hear that? It's the mistress's voice, it's the mistress!! The mistress must be there, there! The mistress..."

"Your Highness, please slow down..."

"The mistress..."

Upon hearing Tuoba Chen's voice, Rong Yue froze abruptly, glared fiercely at Ye Fan who was watching the show, and then lifted her robe and stepped out of the tent.

Just as she reached the tent entrance, Tuoba Chen outside lifted the curtain and rushed in. Rongyue couldn't dodge in time and bumped into Tuoba Chen's warm chest.

"Second Prince, mmm..." Her lips barely parted before a powerful suction robbed them of all their breath! Pressed against her lips, Tuoba Chen's slightly rough lips moved wildly, their forceful friction and his tongue prying open her teeth. Like a thirsty lone traveler in the desert, he savagely swept through every inch of Rongyue's mouth, sucking and swallowing, not letting a single drop of saliva he so desperately craved escape... Any words were superfluous. At this moment, Tuoba Chen only wanted to truly feel her, to feel her real, tangible presence, no longer just a fleeting image in a dream...

Tuoba Chen's frenzied actions left Rongyue stunned. Her breath was filled with his masculine scent, his handsome face was so close to hers, and her body was pressed against his warm chest… It seemed as if her entire being was enveloped and enveloped by him. This feeling was unfamiliar to her, frightening, and she instinctively wanted to escape this suffocating and chaotic atmosphere…

But when her subordinate's emaciated body silently told her how infatuated its owner was with her, she froze once again, her large almond-shaped eyes filled with bewilderment and an indescribable bitterness...

Seeing his master passionately kissing a man, Sha Ye hurriedly looked away in embarrassment, his old face turning bright red. Previously, when Lord Qian had privately asked him if his master had such a penchant, he had flew into a rage, punching Lord Qian until his face was a swollen mess, earning Lord Qian the nickname "Qian Pighead" ever since! He truly never expected that his master… would actually… like men…

With swift reflexes, Ye Fan quickly set up the tent curtain, concealing the passionate scene inside. Pulling the stunned Sha Ye aside, Ye Fan led him to a round wooden table, forcibly pressing Sha Ye onto a round stool. He then sat down, gently fanning himself with a feather fan, leisurely observing the two kissing passionately at the tent entrance.

Reluctantly pulling his lips away, Tuoba Chen gently stroked Rongyue's cheek with one trembling hand, while his other hand, as if afraid Rongyue would disappear, never left her slender waist. Feeling Rongyue's hot cheeks and her fluttering eyelashes, the empty valley in his heart was gradually being filled.

"My mistress, I miss you so much..." A thousand words cannot express all my feelings, but this simple yet sincere love confession is the best I can say.

She understood the weight contained in those simple words. Unsure how to respond, Rongyue lowered her eyes and remained silent.

"Please, don't leave me again, please!" With his chin resting on Rongyue's head, Tuoba Chen's face was filled with pain, his eyes tightly closed, as he pleaded softly.

Her eyes flickered. She neither agreed nor refused, remaining silent. No one could guarantee the future; perhaps silence was the best answer at this moment.

"Mistress, I'm in so much pain without you, it's truly unbearable. Mistress, you may hate me, you may despise me, but I'm determined to stay with you for the rest of my life!"

"Little Third, I used to think my elder brother was crazy. The dignified Crown Prince had driven himself mad for a mere woman, falling ill with lovesickness and almost dying. But after meeting you, I truly understand that love can really make people lose their minds..."

"Why won't you appreciate my kindness? Why, mistress? I'm so unwilling, so unwilling..."

...

"Ahem, shouldn't the two of you be done catching up by now?" Seeing Tuoba Chen rambling on and on, Ye Fan, who had been listening in, finally couldn't hold back any longer and spoke up to indicate that there were other onlookers present.

The unfamiliar voice immediately put Tuoba Chen on alert. There was an 'outsider' in this military tent!

He possessively pulled Rongyue closer to him: "Who are you?"

Tuoba Chen's possessive actions almost made Ye Fan laugh. A mischievous glint appeared in his eyes as Ye Fan stepped closer to Rong Yue, extending his hand to her shoulder in a seemingly intimate manner, and said ambiguously, "As for who I am, I believe my general will give you a good explanation." Ye Fan spoke the words "my general" with extreme gentleness and affection, which infuriated Tuoba Chen!

His general? When did the mistress become his?! The mistress clearly belongs to Tuoba Chen!

Tuoba Chen forcefully pried Ye Fan's hand off Rong Yue's shoulder, his jealousy overflowing. But fearing his questioning tone would displease Rong Yue, he suppressed his inner turmoil and gently asked, "Xiao San, is he a guard in your army?" In Tuoba Chen's memory, only guards had such authority to enter and leave the general's tent. But it seemed no guard could speak to the general so brazenly… Just who was this damned man?!

glaring at Ye Fan, who seemed eager to stir up trouble, Rong Yue said calmly, "I don't have any military guards in my army. He's just my military advisor."

"Military Advisor?" Tuoba Chen asked, puzzled. This title was quite strange; he seemed to have never heard of this official position before.

Rongyue replied casually, "Just a minor official offering advice."

"What? In your eyes I'm just a minor official? This really hurts me! We've shared a bed and pillows, and you're still so heartless..." Ye Fan sighed, accusing him with deep resentment.

The ambiguous words struck Tuoba Chen like a thunderbolt! Shared a bed, shared a pillow? That damned man!!

Seeing Tuoba Chen's ashen face, tightly pursed lips, and trembling body, Rongyue felt a pang of pity. She patted his back and explained, "It's not what you think." Then, she gave Ye Fan a warning glare.

Rongyue's comforting words made Tuoba Chen's expression improve slightly, but the anger and jealousy in his heart still made his face look very ugly.

Knowing that everything should be done in moderation, he hurriedly approached the round table, grabbed Sha Ye whose mouth was agape like a duck egg, and dragged him back towards the tent entrance before he could even sit down properly.

"The two of you continued your conversation. I must take my leave now..."
