reported to the commander of the Imperial Guard, "My lord Commander, we have yet to find any trace of the assassin.""Could you conduct a thorough search" the commander of the Imperial Forest Army aske..."Go back to your own bedchamber and let go!" This posture made him extremely awkward. Su Ziyi's face darkened, and he instinctively struggled to get up.

Imagine, a man who is seven feet tall, who would like to be hugged so tightly by another man

"Ugh… Don't move, or your wound will open again. If it opens again, I'll have to trouble you with rebandaging it, and that would be so embarrassing." This trick worked every time. Zhao Tianyu held him tightly, pressing his body against his own even closer, so close they could almost hear each other's heartbeats.

"Where do you look ashamed" Su Ziyi glared sideways, immobile with anger.

For some reason, he felt as if the place he touched was on fire, burning hot.

"Since I traveled thousands of miles to support you, don't make a fuss. Just let me hug you, okay I promise I won't do anything wrong. To help you resist the Northern Army and the Western Hades Army, I haven't closed my eyes for days, I'm really tired." Ignoring his struggles, Zhao Tianyu buried his head in his neck, his face pale and his brows furrowed with exhaustion.

A warm breath sprayed on his neck, Su Ziyi's body stiffened again and again, his heart beating uncontrollably faster. The hazy feeling in his heart became slightly clearer.

No longer struggling, he turned his head and pursed his lips to look at him, his warm, narrow eyes gazing deeply into his profile.

It's undeniable, there was a certain fondness in his heart for him, even a touch of liking.

He thought, if he were a woman, perhaps he would truly fall in love with him. But why was he a man instead

Her eyes drooped slightly.

He just couldn't get past this level, no matter what he did.

"Alright, but I dislike this position." After a moment of contemplation, Su Ziyue abruptly switched their positions. "Like this."

Today, he only tolerated him because he was the victim. That's how Su Ziyì comforted himself as he drifted off to sleep.

"This position is uncomfortable for me..." This time, Zhao Tianyu was the one feeling awkward.

Damn, what's with this woman's posture

"Don't move, or your wound will open. I won't care if it does," Su Ziyue said with a suggestive smirk.

But...

"Aren't you tired If you keep talking nonsense, get out of here." Su Ziyi was too lazy to listen to his ramblings and directly used his own words to shut him up.

Zhao Tianyu: "..."

This is what it means to move a stone and smash your own foot!

Well, forget it. She's just a little woman anyway. Besides, there's no one else in this bedchamber. No one will see her like this, and I get to sleep in my wife's arms. Why bother with so many petty worries

The second day dawned overcast and gloomy, with occasional rays of light piercing through the clouds, yet failing to bring any warmth.

Su Ziyi usually woke up early, but today, she slept until noon in Zhao Tianyu's arms.

His eyelashes trembled slightly, Su Ziyix's eyes fluttered open.

"Morning!" Before he could even see what was in front of him, Zhao Tianyu pressed a kiss onto his lips, his voice a little husky, "Ziyi, I'm in so much pain, please help me, okay"

"Hmm" Su Ziyi was caught off guard by his intimacy and didn't react immediately to his words.

"That's it." With a nudge, Zhao Tianyu grabbed his hand and placed it on his own younger brother.

Feeling the burning firmness in his hand, Su Ziyi’s mind exploded instantly. He jerked his hand back, his dark eyes flickering with flames, and his temples bulged with anger. “You, you scoundrel! Shameless wretch! To have such filthy thoughts about me!”

“It’s not my fault, men are more impulsive in the morning. Especially when you’re lying beside me, if I don’t react at all, then am I still a man” Zhao Tianyu innocently leaned closer, saying it as if it were the most reasonable thing in the world.

"How could this be right, you still have the audacity to argue! Get out of my sight!" He couldn't agree with him at all. Su Ziyi reached out to take the Qingfeng sword.

Zhao Tianyu was quick-witted and agile. With a single flip, he pinned the other person beneath him. A frenzied, wet kiss rained down like a storm, leaving no room for breath. “Mmm… you, mmm…”

"Stop, you said you wouldn't lay a hand on me!" Su Ziyi's lips were swollen from the kiss, and it took her much effort to finally push him away.

"I didn't lay a finger on you, I only used my mouth." Zhao Tianyu's eyes were deep, he leaned down and kissed his lips again, a hint of desire swirling in his eyes.

"You! Too much!" Su Ziyi's face flushed, whether from anger or shame, as she pushed his chest wildly with both hands.

“Ugh… it hurts!” With a frown, Zhao Tianyu suddenly covered his wound and groaned in pain.

Seeing this, Su Ziyi was taken aback and immediately stopped struggling. His voice took on an unintentional nervousness, "What's wrong Did I hurt your wound"

He raised an eyebrow, Zhao Tianyu smirked triumphantly, and laughed with pleasure, "Well well, so concerned about my wounds, and saying you don't like me."

Gazing at the faint smile on his face, Su Ziyi instantly realized that he had feigned pain to retaliate against her. The anger in her heart, which had just subsided, flared up again instantly, "You lied to me!"

This person really goes to great lengths.

Su Ziyi, admit it, even if you say you hate me, deep down you actually care about me. Zhao Tianyu chuckled softly.

"Nonsense! That didn't happen!" Without even thinking, Su Ziyi immediately denied it, his ears burning red again.

Zhao Tianyu pinched his crimson earlobes, a teasing smile on his face. "Hey Why are your ears red again Couldn't you have gotten embarrassed by what I said"

"No!" The furious shout shook the entire tent.

"Tsk, not honest at all. What's the point of saying it out loud I wouldn't laugh at you." Zhao Tianyu arched his eyebrows and gazed into his eyes with a suggestive look, "I'll only love you to death."

"..." Rong Yue stood outside the dormitory for half an hour silently.

He swore, he really wasn't trying to eavesdrop. He had already called out three times, but no one had noticed him!

After much deliberation, he thought for a moment, and then somewhat embarrassedly raised his voice, "Ahem! Your Majesty, the minister dares to disturb you."

"Su Ziyi, what brings you here" Su Ziyi's expression hardened as he immediately pushed Zhao Tianyu aside. After putting on his clothes, he invited Rong Yue in.

Trying her best to control her gaze and not glance at a certain part of the bed, Rong Yue slightly bowed to Su Ziyi and said with a grave expression: "Your Majesty, I have urgent news. The emperors of Bei Ling and Xi Ming each lead 400,000 troops and have arrived under our Lingtian City. Their momentum is strong. If this continues, I'm afraid we will find it difficult to defend Lingtian City today."

"I can't bear to watch this, I must defend!" Having said that, Su Ziyi donned a suit of armor from his bedside and put on his sword. A fierce aura of anger flared in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, what is this" Rong Yue was startled.

Su Ziyi said in a deep voice, “I will personally lead the troops. Now Dongyue is losing ground at every turn, and the morale of the army has long since collapsed. Only by my personal presence on the battlefield can I boost their morale, so that we might have a chance to hold onto Lingtian City!”cause of jealousy and anger, she momentarily lost her composure. Seeing the impatience on his face, Zhao Ruoqing came to her senses, her face paled, and she nervously said, "No, Ye Gege said that it...
