The war god prince climbs the wall every night, and the princess is angry

Chapter 268 Why is her heart beating so fast?

"Don't underestimate its size; it can't hold much powder, but it's convenient to carry. If you get injured and fall into danger..."

He could hear the woman's gentle voice whispering and giving careful instructions, and Xie Nanyuan looked at the jade belt in Shen Qionghua's palm.

Even if several pieces of high-quality jade were connected together, it could not compare to the whiteness and tenderness of the skin on the palm of your hand.

Xie Nanyuan took a deep breath and calmed down, but he still couldn't suppress the joy that burst out in his heart.

He looked at Shen Qionghua with gentle eyes, his voice filled with indescribable surprise and tenderness, "Is this... something you specially prepared for me?"

Shen Qionghua was still talking to Xie Nanyuan about the purpose of the belt when Xie Nanyuan suddenly said this, which made Shen Qionghua confused for a moment and swallowed back the words he had prepared.

It was indeed specially prepared for him.

After Shen Qionghua heard the news that Xie Nanyuan was going to the war, he went to find Pei Liangchuan and bought all the medicines that might be needed on the battlefield from him.

This was originally nothing, but when Xie Nanyuan singled her out for questioning, Shen Qionghua felt a little uncomfortable, especially since his tone revealed a hint of joy.

It was as if she had something in common with him.

Shen Qionghua pursed her lips and said under Xie Nanyuan's expectant gaze, "Of course... no, this is the medicine I bought from Doctor Pei a while ago."

"I'm in the capital now, and I don't have any use for it anyway. It just so happens that His Majesty is about to go to the battlefield, so I thought I'd just give it to His Majesty. It would be a good use of it."

After saying this, as if afraid that Xie Nanyuan might misunderstand, he added, "Your Highness, there's no need to thank me. Before Prince An and the Yongning Earl's Mansion fell, we were still partners. Doing my best to save Your Highness's life is what I should do."

After the words were spoken, the room fell into silence.

Shen Qionghua felt a little uneasy, and she didn't know why she lied.

But the words have been spoken, and it would be bad to undermine myself.

Shen Qionghua secretly glanced at Xie Nanyuan's expression and happened to bump into his unfathomable black vortex.

The black vortex almost sucked away her soul and devoured it.

Shen Qionghua quickly withdrew his gaze and sat up straight.

Xie Nanyuan raised his sword-like eyebrows, and stretched out his big, bony hands to the basket. He casually took out a few white porcelain bottles, opened the cork of each one and took a look.

In the end, he put all the white porcelain bottles back to their original places. He couldn't hide the smile in his eyes, and his chest seemed to be shaking. He murmured softly, "Little liar."

Each white porcelain bottle was filled to the brim with medicinal powder, with no leftovers.

Only she could come up with such a poor excuse.

He was originally worried about how long he would be gone, and Huo Jing was watching him closely, but now he felt much more relieved.

At least, he knew that Shen Qionghua was not completely untouched by him.

His efforts these days were not in vain.

This is enough.

Even though he is thousands of miles away, he can feel at ease.

"What? What did the prince say?" Shen Qionghua asked in confusion. Xie Nanyuan's voice was too low, almost in a whisper, and she didn't hear it at all.

Xie Nanyuan did not answer her, but just smiled quietly without saying anything.

Seeing that he only smiled and didn't speak, Shen Qionghua thought that Xie Nanyuan didn't believe what she said. Seeing through her clumsy excuse, she hurriedly said, "What I said is true, Your Highness, you——"

Before she could finish her words, she fell into a broad embrace. The cold metal touch made Shen Qionghua's pupils suddenly widen.

After realizing what was happening, Shen Qionghua raised her hand to push Xie Nanyuan.

But Xie Nanyuan has been practicing martial arts for many years and has a strong physique, so how could Shen Qionghua push him?

Unable to push him away, Shen Qionghua began to struggle, "You...you let me go! How can you do this without my consent..."

"Don't move, let me hold you for a while!" Xie Nanyuan interrupted Shen Qionghua, "I'm leaving soon."

Suddenly, Shen Qionghua put down his hands that were resting on the armor.

Feeling that the resistance on his chest had disappeared, Xie Nanyuan smiled silently, his eyes softening.

He raised his hand and touched Shen Qionghua's long, black and smooth hair, then applied a little force, and Shen Qionghua nestled into Xie Nanyuan's arms.

In the quiet night, silent emotions spread in the air, and the candle that was about to burn out was emitting its last heat.

The dim candlelight reflected on the bronze armor, reflecting a cold and sharp light. The shadows of the two people hugging each other were stretched very long, and it was unknown whose heart was beating so fast.

"You must protect yourself well... and return triumphantly as soon as possible... Xiyao and I will be waiting for you in the capital to return and trample Prince An under our feet."

In the end, it was Shen Qionghua who spoke first, her face buried in the cold armor, her voice muffled.

Xie Nanyuan couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard her caring words that revealed a hint of concealment.

He stroked her long, soft, black hair and laughed so hard that his chest shook. Shen Qionghua could hear his strong heartbeat.

"Well, with your encouragement, I will definitely end the battle as soon as possible and return victorious soon."

After a pause, he said viciously, "While I'm away from the capital, stay away from Huo Jing."

Shen Qionghua was speechless. How could this person always link everything to Master Huo?

"Mr. Huo and I have already made it clear. Your Highness, please stop being so sarcastic."

"Have you explained it clearly?" Xie Nanyuan snorted disdainfully, "The way he looks at you is not innocent."

If it weren't for the fact that Huo Jing had a relatively upright character and outstanding knowledge, and if he hadn't dared to covet him, he would have found a way to transfer him away when Huo Jing was appointed to an official position.

The more she talked, the more excited she became. Shen Qionghua struggled out of Xie Nanyuan's arms and angrily said, "You think everyone you see has bad intentions. So, I can't marry anyone else besides you?"

"No!" Xie Nanyuan said domineeringly, "Whoever dares to snatch the woman I like will be stomped on by me!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qionghua's eyes widened and she looked at him in disbelief.

Xie Nanyuan didn't dare to do so originally, but today he noticed that Shen Qionghua's attitude had changed, and he was about to go to the battlefield. He was sure that Shen Qionghua would not be angry with him, so he dared to speak frankly and express his thoughts.

"You! You are simply unreasonable!" Shen Qionghua was so angry that her face turned red.

Xie Nanyuan nodded in agreement, "This king is just so unreasonable."

What does he need to be so reasonable for?

If he becomes reasonable, will Shen Qionghua marry him?

Her rosy cheeks were like delicate, tempting flowers, so beautiful they were about to be picked. Xie Nanyuan couldn't help but reach out and pinch them. "Be obedient, or I won't be worried when I go to the border. You don't want me to get hurt because I'm worried about this, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qionghua slapped his hand away, her chest heaving in anger.

How dare he threaten her with such a thing!

It's his own life, he can take it or not!

Anyway, he is injured and he is the one who feels the pain!

Who are you threatening here?

Shen Qionghua was still sulking, not noticing that Xie Nanyuan's gaze on her lips was becoming increasingly deep.

He unconsciously approached slowly, and his warm breath sprayed on her cheek. Shen Qionghua suddenly came to her senses, quickly took a step back, raised her hand to cover her lips, and looked at Xie Nanyuan vigilantly.

"what you up to!"

Xie Nanyuan paused for a moment, then gave a wry smile.

It was still too hasty, but just letting him hold her tonight was already a big improvement.

Glancing at the sky outside, Xie Nanyuan reached out and rubbed the top of Shen Qionghua's head, saying, "Take good care of yourself while I'm away from the capital. If you have any questions, go find Pingning."

Shen Qionghua nodded.

Xie Nanyuan looked at her quietly, as if he wanted to engrave his current appearance into his mind. The room became quiet again, with only the sound of his violent heartbeat remaining.

"The time is almost up, then... I'm leaving..."

Shen Qionghua pursed her lips and nodded slowly.

Xie Nanyuan's face was tense. He picked up the jade belt and the basket, stepped out of the window, and disappeared over the courtyard wall in a few moments.

The house fell into complete silence.

Shen Qionghua stood for a while before sitting down again. There seemed to be some noise in the room.

After looking around the room, Shen Qionghua realized that it was his own heartbeat.

She raised her white, tender, and slender hand and pressed it against her chest, feeling the violent beating inside.

Strange, why is her heart beating so fast?

Before Shen Qionghua could figure it out, a deep voice rang out from the courtyard wall, "Shen Qionghua!"
