The Xuan Prince's expression seemed rather displeased tonight.
After Feng Jinrui returned with the young girl named Xiao Yao, the two had been hiding in the tent, and no one knew what they were doing.
Deep into the night, Feng Jinrui had still not emerged.
"Your Highness, there's candlelight in the tent. This subordinate also heard them conversing, and it seemed… they were chatting quite merrily."
"Also…" Leng Ji, who was tasked with actively gathering information, reported cautiously, "Also, it seems they are working on something. The two of them… are both lying on the ground."
Judging by the shadows cast from the tent, they were indeed lying on the ground.
Feng Yexuan's brows furrowed even tighter.
Lying on the ground, what were they trying to do? Utterly preposterous!
"Your Highness, shall this subordinate go in and take a look, to see what they are doing on the ground?"
"Did I order you to spy on them?" When had he ever given such an order?
It made it seem as if he was very eager to know what they were doing!
Leng Ji was startled and immediately realized his mistake. He quickly said, "No, it's just that this subordinate is curious. How could Your Highness be interested in the affairs of two little ones? Heh, hehe…"
He gave a couple of dry laughs.
After thinking about it, he also felt that His Highness would naturally not care about such trivial matters.
That girl named Xiao Yao, although a girl, looked very young.
Moreover, she wasn't good-looking at all, and there was no way she could have that kind of relationship with the Fourteenth Prince.
It was just two children playing.
So, there was nothing to be concerned about.
"Well, it's getting late. Perhaps Your Highness should rest early, and tomorrow morning…"
"Do I look like I'm already tired?" Feng Yexuan snorted coldly.
Leng Ji's mind suddenly felt a prickling sensation.
Then, what… should he do now?
His Highness hadn't rested yet, and he couldn't possibly sneak off to rest himself, how would that be proper?
"Your Highness, then…"
Feng Yexuan suddenly stood up.
Leng Ji quickly asked, "Your Highness, where are you going?"
Feng Yexuan didn't know where he was going either. Perhaps, he was just feeling a bit restless and wanted to take a walk.
In fact, tonight, he should have been on his way to see Li'er.
But unfortunately, he was still in the military camp, lingering and not moving.
What was he thinking?
Unconsciously, he walked to the outside of Xiao Yao's tent.
He stopped his steps.
Leng Ji looked at the two figures on the tent and indeed, they were still lying there.
"Your Highness…"
Feng Yexuan's gaze deepened, and Leng Ji immediately and wisely closed his mouth.
The two stared at the two shadows on the tent.
They were lying on the ground, but they were lying separately, with no hint of impropriety.
It was just two children, who knew what they were playing together.
He suddenly had a strong urge to go in and see, but just as he took a step, he abruptly pulled his foot back.
Was it because the presence of this little girl in the military camp was hindering his progress to meet Li'er?
No, how could that be?
No one could stop him from seeing Li'er.
Perhaps, he just wanted the meeting in the imperial city to appear more grand.
Perhaps…
Feng Yexuan walked away, his tall back exuding a cold and resolute aura.
Keep away from strangers.
Leng Ji didn't even dare to chase after him.
He always felt that after Xiao Yao appeared, His Highness was very strange.
Leng Ji looked at the two figures on the tent again, still not knowing what they were doing, and was very curious.
Finally, Leng Ji couldn't resist. He ordered some tea and snacks to be prepared.
Using the excuse of delivering food, he lifted the tent flap…
…Half an hour later.
Inside Feng Yexuan's tent.
"They fell asleep?" Feng Yexuan frowned, his temples throbbing inexplicably.
"Yes, staring at a box… This subordinate doesn't understand what's in this box either."
But the two of them, they truly stared at the box, lying on the ground motionless, and fell asleep.
It was simply unbelievable!
Feng Yexuan finally couldn't help himself and personally went to Xiao Yao's tent, lifting the tent flap…
