Chapter 849: Simply seeking your own humiliation (2/2)

Her rage was false, but she really did want to get up. If they kept on, who knew how shameless his hands would get?

Long Feiye smiled coldly. “This crown prince thought you’d lost all sense of shame when you said you liked me. Looks like I misunderstood! Then is princess still planning to give me face with this ‘deep love?’” As he finished, he let her go. Baili Yuanlong was no fool, so he couldn’t go too far with his acting.

Han Yunxi stood up and back away in awkward straits as she straightened out her clothes and exclaimed, “Long Feiye, we’ll do as you say. Although East and West Qin aren’t in an alliance, this princess still hopes that we can respect each other and stick to the terms during this ceasefire!”

Long Feiye languidly smoothed out his own robes as he rose to his feet, voice cold. “This crown prince is still worth that little bit of trust.” Then he turned to leave, but stopped at the door to shout, “Baili Yuanlong, still not leaving?!”

Baili Yuanlong and his men finally regained their senses and hurried after him, their hearts filled with admiration. His Highness still has ways. He’s the only one who can handle a woman like Han Yunxi.

As everyone left, Han Yunxi remained rooted to the spot with her heart pounding. She waited a while before walking outside, but Long Feiye was long gone. It left her with an unspeakably empty feeling.

“His Highness returned to the barracks?” she asked Xu Donglin in a low voice.

“To the training fields. Don’t worry, mistress, Baili Yuanlong will definitely be rebuked, “ Xu Donglin chuckled softly.

There was no need to say just how many drills Baili Yuanlong went through under Long Feiye’s orders. After this time’s experience, he’d probably never dare to act reckless again. If he didn’t move, no one else in the army would dare to find trouble for Han Yunxi, either. Her move of “killing the chicken to scare the monkey,” with a few words of support from Long Feiye, had ensured her safety in the East Qin barracks.

When night fell, Han Yunxi assumed that Long Feiye would return. She already had Xu Donglin take him a message, but no matter how she waited, Long Feiye didn’t come back. The night watch was left to the mermaid soldiers, so Han Yunxi couldn’t move about freely. She could only sit around until Xu Donglin used an excuse of delivering something to come over and tell her the news. Long Feiye had received an urgent message at the training grounds and left temporarily with Baili Yuanlong in tow. Neither of them would return for the next few days, so he couldn’t see her.

“Where did he go? What urgent business?” Han Yunxi asked anxiously.

“It should be military affairs. Mistress, unless His Highness tells us, this subordinate can’t find out the details either,” Xu Donglin said helplessly. Han Yunxi understood. These were military barracks, after all, which ran by its own set of rules. She wrote a letter to Gu Qishao and called Xu Donglin over to tell him to send it out personally. Its contents told Gu Qishao the entire truth and her current whereabouts.

She wouldn’t help Long Feiye or Ning Cheng when it came to the Wind Clan, but Gu Qishao and Mu Linger were two outsiders caught up in this mess. They had the right to the facts. Once Xu Donglin left, Han Yunxi cleaned things up a bit and prepared to sleep. The sound of training gradually faded as the night grew darker until silence fell upon the army grounds. Yet Han Yunxi tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Perhaps it was because she’d been separated from Long Feiye so long that they hadn’t spent enough time reunited yet, but she couldn’t fall asleep after missing his face for just a few hours.

Long Feiye, where are you now? What are you doing?

She shut her eyes and reviewed all the scenes that had happened that day. There was him “humiliating” her, his every word and action, then the two days they had spent entwined together. His coldly handsome face, his deep eyes, his scorching passion, coarse kisses, and the sweat that had dripped off the end of his nose, his strength, his gentleness…

Han Yunxi turned over and buried her face in the pillow. She suddenly felt an impulse to seek him out because she missed him too much. Heavens, night really makes people lose all reason!

At this moment, a guard suddenly spoke up from outside. “Princess, Miss Baili requests an audience.”

Baili Mingxiang?

Han Yunxi had already changed into sleepwear, so she was too lazy to change back. There were no servant girls at the military barracks, which truly made things inconvenient. She didn’t emerge, but shouted loudly, “Let her in!”

When Baili Mingxiang entered the tent, she remained standing outside its inner partition to make a respectful bow. “West Qin princess, can Mingxiang come in to speak a few words with you?”

Han Yunxi hesitated before she said, “Come in.”

Baili Mingxiang carefully lifted the curtains and walkd inside, only to see Han Yunxi sitting lazily in bed with a single layer of nightclothes. Typically, most woman would be retiring to bed with all their clothes neatly worn. Even nightclothes were buttoned up completely, yet Han Yunxi had left them all loose as they draped on her form and revealed the wine red top covering her up inside.

Although Baili Mingxiang had served her at Leisurely Cloud Pavilion, she had rarely ventured upstairs into the bedroom. This was her first time seeing how Han Yunxi went to bed. Baili Mingxiang was already more reserved than the typical female, so she was startled by the sight and didn’t dare to stare. She knelt on her knees with he head bowed, and finally said after a while, “Esteemed wangfei…”

How long had it been since someone called her that? Han Yunxi almost missed it in a fit of sorrow. That title represented all of her unforgettable memories from the past. But she still cut Baili Mingxiang short. “What do you mean by this?”

Xu Donglin had long given her Long Feiye’s warning: she had to be prudent and cautious. Although Baili Mingxiang was a good girl, she was still Baili Yuanlong’s daughter…
