Chapter 09

"Okay. I will send you back to your tent"

Xiao Feng helped prince Jing to the tent and on the way, Xiao Feng noticed prince Jing look at someone as she looks to the side as saw Gao Zhe drunken. Gao Zhe wouldn't have possibly drunk as prince Jing's bodyguard. Weining and Linlin were following them as Xiao Feng motioned toward Gao Zhe and Linlin nodded going towards him Weining stop at the entrance as Xiao Feng and prince Jing entered. Xiao Feng put prince Jing in his bed and was going to go but prince Jing hugged Xiao Feng from the back.

"Xiao Feng, please don't go" Xiao Feng tried to break away from prince Jing but shook her head as she felt something is wrong and her head is heavy.

"Weining!!" Xiao Feng called out and Weining was going to enter the tent.

"Don't you dare to come" Weining was hopeless after all one is a prince and the other is her mistress also the wife of the other party?

Prince Jing pulled Xiao Feng into the bed. Xiao Feng's head was spinning and she start to feel hot she pinch her leg to keep herself sober. Prince Jing starts removing his clothes and after removing the outer robe he was going to kiss Xiao Feng. She couldn't push the prince away because of the headache she closed her eyes. She felt there was no more anyone hovering over her as she opened her eyes.

She felt happy when seeing Shan Yuan as she hugged her for a second and started crying. Then the headache came back as Xiao Feng supported her head.

"A-Shan Yuan, there's something in the burning incense" Shan Yuan let go of Xiao Feng's hug and throw away the burning incense and Weining came in hearing the sound and she kowtowed continuously asking forgiveness.

"I am sorry your highness, I couldn't do anything. I am sorry"

"S-stop" Xiao Feng weakly went towards the bathtub making Weining understand what happened. Xiao Feng went inside the bathtub with her clothes and dived inside hiding her head. She was feeling uncomfortable and hot.

Weining ran outside and made some ginseng to help Xiao Feng get rid of internal heat. At the time Shan Yuan makes Xiao Feng straighten up from the bathtub grabbing her shoulders.

"What are you doing?" Shan Yuan asked. Xiao Feng was drenched and the water was draining from her highlighting her small frame. Shan Yuan's heart broke seeing Xiao Feng like this.

"You go away. I-I was uncomfortable. Let me stay in the water" Shan Yuan looks a little down at Xiao Feng to see almost visible cleavage he let go of Xiao Feng and turns to the other side. Weining came with a teapot.

"Princess drink this ginger tea to cool down. Should I call for the military physician?"

"Don't" Xiao Feng drank the ginger and she stand up from the bathtub the previous uncomfortableness and hotness had faded away. "Just prepare some Mung bean soup" Weining nodded and wrapped Xiao Feng in fur clothes. Shan Yuan was sitting.

"Why are you here?" Xiao Feng asked. Though her words are cruel she doesn't want to be soft.

"What do you mean? If I didn't come in time"

"Thank you" Shan Yuan was speechless and pissed that he couldn't take himself to shout to Xiao Feng.

"I am so mad. I will take his hand today"

"Shan Yuan!" Shan Yuan halt on his way. He was going to cut off prince Jing's hands.

"I am going to stay. I already told royal father about this" Xiao Feng sighed.

"You can't stay here just as you wish, oh wait. Did Bai Qi also come?" Shan Yuan nodded as Xiao Feng went to the table and start writing something. After writing she folded the letter.

"Weining asks Linlin to give this letter to her father. Come back quickly, okay?" Weining took the letter and nodded. She went out with Shan Yuan. Xiao Feng took the knife as she slowly walked towards prince Jing who was lying in the bed unconscious from the hit given by Shan Yuan. She sat down beside him and pointed her dragger on the curves of prince Jing's face and finally on her chest.

"Your highness!!" Xiao Feng sighed after seeing Weining.

"Weining! You scared me"

"You can't kill him now"

"I know, I just tried to comfort myself saying I can kill him anytime and I wasn't going to kill him" Weining sighed relieved.

"Weining, collect the incense and put that back and made it look like it all burned. I am going to do this if not he will not stop this. He dares to do this today, what will he do in the future? So, I want you to witness that I haven't done anything with him today"

"Your highness" Weining nodded with a determined look.

"Weining, I will sleep on the table. In the morning we will go as I slept with him. Help me turn him and put a blanket over him" Weining nodded and make prince Jing in the sleeping position and put the blanket over him and also help to put his wet clothes of Xiao Feng in the hanger.

"Weining, what will happen when that happens?" Xiao Feng asked cluelessly.

"Sometimes you both should have marks like a fight happened," Weining said some important things and they prepared everything. Xiao Feng was sleeping on the table.

It was the morning as Weining came inside and woke Xiao Feng up. Xiao Feng quickly went to the bed and sat down and Weining took the clothes as she had just picked the clothes from the ground.

"Come in" Weining act like she was picking dresses as maids came in and help Xiao Feng to wash and she was changing while the maids helped her to dress up. Prince Jing woke up slowly.

"You wake up?" Prince Jing slowly sat straight in the bed as a few hand men started helping him.

"My whole-body ache" The maid's giggle and a few marks on prince Jing's neck were visible.

"What are you laughing at? Do your work!!" Weining glared at the maids.

"Did we two? Both" Xiao Feng looks at prince Jing.

"What do you think?" Again, servants giggle. Prince Jing ran to Xiao Feng.

"So, you forgive me?"

"You should freshen up now" Prince Jing nodded like a child as Xiao Feng chuckled. Who would doubt their relationship after seeing their sweet conversation?

After prince Jing freshens up Xiao Feng was helping him to wear clothes. After that, she tidied the collar of his clothes and put on the cloak, and tie it.

"When I was young, I couldn't help my father nor uncle to tie their cloth. Every time I did it was ugly. Though it was ugly they would wear it out and say it was tied by me" Xiao Feng said making him believe that she has opened up to him.

"Weining is breakfast ready?"

"Yes, your highness"

Linlin was in a restaurant. Bai Qi was wearing a red moon soldier outfit and Shan Yuan came out wearing black colored dress hair was pulled in a ponytail with a red colored ribbon. Linlin gave him a tray with a few things.

"This is the token; this is the pendant you wear always. This is the fan. These are weapons and finally a mask. Wear this, don't take off it in front of others since prince Jing knows you. Now you're Feng Liang" Shan Yuan nodded.

On the tray, there was a red-colored jade pendant with the word Feng carved. The fan had the words "Forethought is easy, repentance hard" written with red pearl tassels at the end of the fan. The black mask had hidden phoenix drawings. Shan Yuan wore the mask and the jade and then took the fan in his hand.

"Father let's go. Princess is waiting" Xiao Feng and prince Jing were taking breakfast as a guard came in.

"Prince, princess consort, Red moon army is here"

"Let them in" Xiao Feng stands up and went towards the entrance and 3 people came inside.

"I pay respect to princess royal grand on behalf of red moon" general in command, general Mu said.

"Please stand up, uncle Mu. It's been a long time since I last saw you"

"That's right, princess royal grand. You have lost weight" he said glaring at her daughter.

"I did my duty well" Everyone chuckled in the room.

"We can talk, Gao Zhe, Linlin show them their tents"

"Yes, your highness" They went outside of the palace.

"Your highness, I will go back to my tent" Before prince Jing respond Xiao Feng had already run to her tent. Suddenly irritated Linlin and Shan Yuan came inside.

"Did you spend the night with prince Jing?" Xiao Feng heard someone listening from outside of the tent.

"Yeah, is there any wrong? We're wife and husband" Linlin stomps out.

"You all can go" All maids went out leaving Shan Yuan, Weining, and Xiao Feng in the tent. Linlin came back after going outside.

"The man went to the main tent but did you spend the night together?" Xiao Feng looks at Weining as Weining sighed and explained everything.

"Xiao Feng! You're tormenting yourself" Linlin said making Xiao Feng look at her lap snaking her palms through the face and stop there.

"Dismiss"

"Your highness"

"Please" Xiao Feng begged as she want some quiet time. They nodded and courtesy before going out but Shan Yuan stayed. Xiao Feng started rubbing her forehead and temples because of all the stress. Shan Yuan went behind her and start messaging her shoulders.

"Why are you still here?"

"How do you know it's me?"

"I-I, Weining, and Linlin don't have such big hands"

"Liar!"

"Then what?" Xiao Feng turns and looks up at Shan Yuan. Shan Yuan bent down and smell near her neck.

"Because of this?" Xiao Feng pushed him away and look front.

"O-of course, not" Shan Yuan chuckle seeing frustrated Xiao Feng.

"Okay, I will not joke around with you"

"It's not a joke though" Xiao Feng mumbled.

"Did you say something?"

"N-no"

In the Wei kingdom, the third prince and Wei's generals with one more man who looked like the head of the people were discussing when a soldier ran to them and said their food arrived. Xiao Feng and others also were in the main tent discussing all.

On the seventh day after the food was destroyed in the plain land, the two armies were facing each other. The snow had stopped.

In the Sui army, there was prince Jing, Xiao Feng, and red moon's general in command in a row. Besides, there was Linlin near Shan Yuan and beside him Bai Qi and other generals. The head of the Wei army was also wearing a mask. Beside him was the 3rd prince.

"I heard cousin Xiao was granted princess royal grand. Congratulations!" Xiao Feng smiled.

"Thank you, older cousin. I am honored"

"I wouldn't dare. Princess royal grand is a higher rank than me. My fifth brother was blessed but what a pity. I heard that prince Jing and princess royal grand are not in a husband-wife relationship"

"Sorry to hear, third brother but" prince Jing was cut off by the masked man.

"Ah Feng, it's been a while. You have lost some weight. Doesn't my fifth brother take care of you well when I was not around"
