An Ning woke up and knew what ti it was.
Wasn’t she just in the sa room with Xiao Jinxing in her mory?!
Why couldn’t she rember the process at all?
And how did she end up falling asleep?
Her clothes were still on her, except for the military uniform that had been removed. The nightclothes underneath were still there.
So did Xiao Jinxing put them back on for her?!
If he dressed her, why didn’t he change them for a new set?
Such acts of consideration.
Xiao Jinxing still needs to improve.
An Ning thought while moving her body slightly.
Did she sleep too well?!
She actually didn’t feel any soreness after sleeping together.
Or was Xiao Jinxing extrely gentle?!
An Ning pondered for a while longer.
She really couldn’t rember the process of sleeping with Xiao Jinxing.
When exactly did she fall asleep?!
"Madam, are you awake?" Suddenly, a respectful female voice ca from behind.
"Mm." An Ning responded.
A woman cautiously walked in behind the screen and knelt in front of An Ning, "I am here to assist Madam with dressing and washing."
"You are..." An Ning was surprised.
"My na is Liu Wen, a soldier under General Xie’s command. His Majesty specifically assigned to serve Madam," Liu Wen replied with respect.
An Ning nodded slightly.
Liu Wen ca forward and cautiously helped An Ning out of bed.
"What ti is it now? How long have I slept?" An Ning asked.
"To answer Madam, it is already the hour of Hai, and Madam has slept for a full five hours." Liu Wen answered.
Had she slept that long?!
No wonder her body still felt a bit soft.
And she was starving too.
"It’s so late, where is His Majesty?" An Ning asked again.
"His Majesty is still in the army discussing military affairs with the generals and hasn’t returned yet. His Majesty instructed that once Madam awakens, she may bathe or have a al first," Liu Wen said respectfully.
An Ning thought it over, "Let’s eat first."
She feared she might starve in the bath.
"Yes, I will imdiately arrange for a al to be sent to Madam."
Liu Wen left.
She quickly returned.
And continued to assist An Ning with changing clothes and washing.
An Ning rose from the bed and stood up.
The mont she stood up, her legs went weak.
Liu Wen hurriedly supported An Ning.
Was it because she was too hungry, and her body lacked energy?!
Since arriving at Mobei, she really hadn’t eaten well, it’s been two days of hunger now.
But then she thought, perhaps it was because of what happened with Xiao Jinxing...
She walked towards the dining table.
Liu Wen served her als.
"Where are the people I brought?" An Ning suddenly asked.
Only then did she rember Guan Yu and the others.
"Rest assured, Madam. His Majesty has already settled them properly. Starting tomorrow, they will join the military camp and beco part of the army."
"..." When did she say Guan Yu and the others should join the army?!
Guan Yu and Liu Lai might be so aggrieved that they could cough up blood now.
After eating and drinking her fill, An Ning felt like she truly ca back to life.
"Let’s bathe now."
Thinking that Xiao Jinxing wasn’t going to return so early.
Today Feng Xiyun ntioned that Xiao Jinxing has been busy with military affairs and only sleeps at midnight.
"Yes." Liu Wen said respectfully, "I will imdiately have the bath prepared for Madam."
"Are there new clothes?" An Ning asked.
"Rest assured, Madam, His Majesty has prepared everything for you."
An Ning nodded slightly.
She felt inexplicably warm inside.
Though waking up without seeing Xiao Jinxing by her side made her feel a little... disappointed.
But after all, military matters take priority now.
With Liu Wen’s assistance, An Ning lay down in the bathtub.
The warm water covered her body, and it was as if all her fatigue vanished, making her feel so comfortable.
An Ning lay in the bathtub, eyes closed, savoring the mont.
She also thought about so things.
The battle with the Cang Kingdom should be imminent now.
Before going to war, Xiao Jinxing must root out the traitor.
Without doing so, it’s like a ti bomb that could explode at any mont.
Last ti, at the border, Xiao Jinxing used his life to lure the spy out with a hook.
This ti...
She really didn’t want Xiao Jinxing to take any risks.
Last ti he almost lost his life.
An Ning beca so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn’t notice anything unusual around her.
By the ti she noticed sothing amiss, a cool pair of lips had already pressed against her lips.
Was it because he had co from outside? The Mobei night was truly bone-chilling.
She felt it deeply.
At this mont, Xiao Jinxing’s lips felt like a thin sheet of ice.
Only, much softer.
An Ning’s heart beat a little faster.
Her face also grew flushed.
She opened her eyes, only to see Xiao Jinxing’s face so close, his long, thick eyelashes cast a deep shadow under the candlelight, making one feel like sinking...
