His thoughts gradually drifted away, and his actions became more brazen.

"hiss--"

Gu Jingheng felt a sharp pain on his fingertips. The kitten in the quilt was not behaving well.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince?" Nan Jiamu sensed something was wrong and went forward to check.

"It's okay." Gu Jingheng said calmly, "It's just an old injury that hasn't healed yet. Vice General Nan doesn't need to worry."

As he spoke, Gu Jingheng's hand hidden in the quilt covered that soft spot again and kneaded it casually.

Nan Yuan's body was stretched as tight as a bow and arrow, her whole body was stiff, but after having just experienced the situation where she was almost discovered, no matter how unbearable she was, she did not dare to move at all, and could only let Gu Jingheng control her.

But Gu Jingheng was not satisfied with this. He reached his hand down, but was grabbed tightly by two small hands, as if begging for mercy.

Nan Yuan, who was lying under the quilt, was already trembling with fear. She held Gu Jingheng's hand tightly to prevent him from doing anything excessive again.

Her brother is right here, watching them. How dare he do this?

unacceptable!

Gu Jingheng is really going too far!

But no matter how much she thought about it, Nan Yuan didn't dare to make the slightest move, because Nan Jiamu had already noticed something was wrong.

If there is any unusual movement again, how can she face people?

Gu Jingheng seemed to sense her fear, loosened the strength in his hands, and stopped moving downwards.

Nan Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and loosened her grip on Gu Jingheng's hand.

But Gu Jingheng's hand turned in another direction, and slid down along Nan Yuan's slightly open lips, gently stroking the delicate and flower-like lips, rubbing them back and forth with his fingertips.

Nan Yuan's heart was in her throat and she even held her breath, for fear of attracting Nan Jiamu's attention.

"The Xuanjia Army cannot be without a leader for a day. Deputy General Nan has been in the army for several years. Does he have a suitable candidate?" Gu Jingheng's voice was low and hoarse, but there was no special emotion in his tone, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

As he spoke, he pressed his fingers against Nan Yuan's teeth, forcing her to open her mouth.

Nan Jiamu was shocked when he heard this. He didn't know what Gu Jingheng was planning now, so he had to respond carefully: "General Wang in the army is highly respected and his subordinates obey him. Although Lieutenant General Zhang is young, he gets along well with the brothers."

"That's all?" Gu Jingheng asked again, with an intimidating look without even getting angry.

But who could have imagined that such a serious Crown Prince would be playing with a woman's lips and teeth at this moment and doing such a frivolous thing?

Nan Jiamu frowned. Apart from Li Mu's high prestige in the army, he was the most popular one.

He didn't believe that Gu Jingheng didn't know that he was the most suitable candidate, but Gu Jingheng was still asking him who could take on the task.

Was he testing him to see if he had any intention of disloyalty, or was he just asking for his opinion?

Nan Jiamu broke out in cold sweat unconsciously on his forehead. Gu Jingheng was no one else but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince who could decide his life or death with just one word.

If he said something wrong and made him unhappy, disaster might be waiting for him.

Gu Jingheng looked at Nan Jiamu nonchalantly, and then continued: "Deputy General Nan, please feel free to speak."

Nan Jiamu gritted his teeth and replied, "There are still subordinates."

After saying that, Gu Jingheng's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he said, "Then you will replace Li Mu."

Upon hearing this, Nan Jiamu was stunned.

His heartbeat suddenly quickened a few beats. He never expected that Gu Jingheng would give him this position so easily.

Nan Yuan was also stunned when she heard this, and her mouth opened slightly.

Gu Jingheng took advantage of this opportunity and hooked his fingers, gently prying open Nan Yuan's cherry-colored thin lips. His fingers flexibly drilled in and ravaged her territory.

"Hmm..." Nan Yuan couldn't help but moan, but then she thought of Nan Jiamu still being here, so she quickly swallowed the words in her mouth and let Gu Jingheng ravage her mouth.

“Your subordinate…” Nan Jiamu hesitated to speak.

"What? Are you incompetent or cowardly?" Gu Jingheng sneered.

Nan Jiamu was shocked when he heard this, and he knelt down immediately: "I will definitely live up to the high expectations of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Yeah." Gu Jingheng responded lightly and closed his eyes to rest.

After a moment, he opened his eyes and looked at Nan Jiamu, "Deputy General Nan, is there anything else?"

Nan Jiamu looked at the military token in his hand, then came back to his senses and said, "I will take my leave."

As soon as Nan Jiamu left the tent, Gu Jingheng immediately pulled Nan Yuan out from under the quilt.

"Little girl, you are so brave. You dare to bite me?" Gu Jingheng grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms. He pinched her waist tightly with his palm, making her unable to move.

Nan Yuan's cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were red, obviously because she had been crying. She looked at Gu Jingheng with extreme grievance and shouted, "It hurts!"

Seeing this, Gu Jingheng loosened his grip a little, but still didn't let her go: "Does it hurt?"

"I haven't touched you yet, why are you in pain?"

Nan Yuan got out of Gu Jingheng's arms, pulled her clothes together, and sat at the end of the bed, far away from Gu Jingheng. After making sure that he couldn't reach her, she said, "My hand hurts."

Gu Jingheng lowered his eyes and looked at the red marks on Nan Yuan's hands, frowning: "What happened?"

As he spoke, Gu Jingheng pulled Nan Yuan over and kneaded her little hand. It was soft and delicate, but the scar on it was a bit annoying.

Nan Yuan didn't say anything, but pulled her hand back and said, "I should go back, otherwise my brother will be worried."

Gu Jingheng grabbed Nan Yuan's hand, a look of hurt flashed across his eyes: "When will you come to accompany me again?"

"Didn't we just meet?" Nan Yuan tried to pull her hand away, but couldn't.

"But I miss you." Gu Jingheng's voice was a little aggrieved. "Besides, my hands and feet are not convenient now. I can't even pick up chopsticks. Can you bear to see me hungry?"

Nan Yuan was silent. She saw that Gu Jingheng's actions just now did not seem like he had any inconvenience in his hands or feet.

But after all, he was injured because of me. I would feel bad if I ignored him.

"Then I'll come over to have dinner with you tomorrow morning." Nan Yuan finally compromised.

The corners of Gu Jingheng's mouth curved up, but his eyes were still on Nan Yuan, and he bargained, "Come and keep me company tonight."

"The day after tomorrow morning." Nan Yuan said with a straight face.

Gu Jingheng could only compromise and said, "Okay, tomorrow morning."

As he spoke, he stuffed a bottle of ointment into Nan Yuan's hand and said, "This is the scar removal ointment from the palace. It's very effective. Take it back."

Nan Yuan nodded, and without further delay, she walked towards her tent.

It was already late when she returned to her tent. She saw from afar that the light in her tent was off and she breathed a sigh of relief.

She opened the curtain and was about to take out a tinder to light the lamp when a voice sounded from behind her.

"Where have you been?"
