The concubine was charming and alluring, and the ruthless prince coaxed her day and night.

Chapter 115 Be Gentle, I'm Pregnant

Coming to her senses, Xu Jiaojiao subconsciously raised her hand and touched her face.

Very well, it seems the sleeping veil can't be removed either...

Zhao Yunzheng, who caught a glimpse of her actions, was both annoyed and amused.

It's not like she doesn't know he knows everything, yet she still cares about the veil.

Before Xu Jiaojiao could speak, he grabbed her hand and said in a low voice, "Don't make a sound, come with me..."

Xu Jiaojiao: "??"

To avoid alarming Jia Rong, Xu Jiaojiao lowered her voice as well: "Where are you going?"

Zhao Yunzheng didn't respond to her, but just kept pulling her behind the screen.

On the other side of the screen was Jia Rong lying on the bed looking at a sketchbook. Xu Jiaojiao was completely confused and had no idea what Prince Chen was going to do.

However, Prince Chen did not intend to take her to find Jia Rong, but instead crawled out through the hole in the torn tent.

The tents had holes in them?

Xu Jiaojiao's pupils dilated, only then realizing that Zhao Yunzheng was still holding a sword in his hand.

No, what is Prince Chen going to do?

Should we kill her to silence her?

Xu Jiaojiao was numb: "Um, Your Highness..."

Before she could finish speaking, Prince Chen frowned and turned to look at her: "Don't speak yet!"

At this hour, many people are still awake. Jiao Jiao is dressed as a maid and is not wearing a veil. If someone sees her, it will be difficult to explain.

Xu Jiaojiao, who was taken aback by the harsh words, fell silent for a moment.

Following Prince Chen, the two took shortcuts and soon left the camp.

Xu Jiaojiao was startled again.

This road is great!

I didn't notice it during the day, so I quickly wrote it down!

After leaving the camp, Prince Chen quickly led her to a bamboo courtyard, which was deep in the forest and very secluded.

Once inside, Zhao Yunzheng closed the door behind him.

The room was pitch black, and Xu Jiaojiao felt a little uneasy.

"Your Majesty...?"

She called out softly, and the man's familiar embrace answered her.

Unlike the usual crisp and cool aura, the man's body was burning hot, and his breath was scalding.

Xu Jiaojiao stiffened as she felt the man's hands roaming over her body.

Noticing her change, the man paused slightly, his voice hoarse with suppressed emotion: "Jiaojiao, someone has given me an aphrodisiac..."

Xu Jiaojiao's hand suddenly tightened.

Yes, she had noticed that Prince Chen was acting strangely back in the tent, but he had grabbed her and run away without her noticing, so she hadn't thought about the reason.

Recalling the scene where Su He insisted on escorting Prince Chen back to his camp, Xu Jiaojiao immediately knew who had drugged her.

Seeing that she didn't move or speak, the man loosened his grip slightly: "Jiaojiao, is it alright?"

Xu Jiaojiao's heart skipped a beat, and her nose suddenly felt sore.

This person...

As someone in a position of power in this era, even though he was in such distress, he still thought about respecting her wishes and feelings.

It's really hard for her not to be soft-hearted...

Moreover, from the time they met until now, Zhao Yunzheng has never done anything to wrong her in the slightest; on the contrary, it was she herself who…

To be fair, it's normal for people to get angry when it comes to acting. But she herself was the one who thought about running away as soon as the truth came out.

At that moment, Xu Jiaojiao felt she had let Zhao Yunzheng down.

In particular, even though he had been given an aphrodisiac, he was still able to maintain his rationality, push Su He away, and forcefully run to find her.

Xu Jiaojiao sighed inwardly, raised her hand to wrap around the man's neck, and affectionately nuzzled his neck: "Be gentle, I'm pregnant..."

Reason had long since vanished, and Zhao Yunzheng, on the verge of collapse, suddenly regained his composure.

Realizing what Xu Jiaojiao was saying, Zhao Yunzheng instantly lost all feeling of the extreme pain he was experiencing.

"What did you say?!"

The room was dimly lit, but the man's eyes shone like cold stars. The surprise in his eyes and his slightly trembling hands made Xu Jiaojiao's heart soften even more.

A gentle smile played in her eyes as she lightly kissed Zhao Yunzheng's lips, her arms slowly sliding down his neck. "I've been thinking, I've missed you terribly these past few days..."

Zhao Yunzheng's mind went blank for a moment. His large, well-defined hand gripped the back of Xu Jiaojiao's head, deepening the kiss that was filled with longing and tenderness.

As the kiss deepened, Xu Jiaojiao felt that the man was about to explode, but he abruptly stopped kissing her, carried her to the bed, and then, after uttering a single sentence, burst out of the door like a flash of light.

"It's late. You should rest here. I'll be right back!"

Xu Jiaojiao, her clothes half-undone: "???"

No?

Prince Chen? He ran away?

Thinking of Prince Chen's appearance, Xu Jiaojiao couldn't sleep.

She dressed, got out of bed, walked into the courtyard, and carefully looked around the small courtyard.

The courtyard was hidden in the woods, and the trees surrounding it were arranged in a strange way, as if they were some kind of mechanism to prevent outsiders from entering.

The night wind blew, and the shadows of the trees swayed, creating a rather eerie and unsettling atmosphere.

Xu Jiaojiao felt a chill run down her spine and went back inside.

Using the dim moonlight, Xu Jiaojiao found the candles and flint inside the house.

Lighting a candle provided some relief from the suffocating silence.

By candlelight, Xu Jiaojiao noticed that the room was simply furnished. On the table by the window were the Four Treasures of the Study, a half-open map, and several letters.

The bookshelf next to the table was densely packed with bamboo slips, each with a small wooden plaque carved with a person's name hanging on it.

Xu Jiaojiao glanced at it briefly.

The map on the desk was a map of the northern border defenses. The envelope was labeled with words such as "Northern Border," "Southern Prefecture," and "Secret Letter." Xu Jiaojiao didn't recognize many of the names on the bookshelf, but she could roughly guess that they were all related to government officials.

Curiosity made her instinctively want to look through the bamboo slips and letters, but reason told her not to act rashly.

This is probably Prince Chen's "underground office," used specifically to handle things that can't be brought to light.

Given Prince Chen's status, I'm afraid everything here is related to the political situation in the court, which could lead to turmoil in the court and the country, or even a change of dynasty.

She had no desire to be involved in politics. For a nobody like her, the less she knew, the better. At least until she gained power, she had to learn to refrain from seeing what was improper.

Xu Jiaojiao glanced out the window, her thoughts racing.

I wonder where Prince Chen has gone...

Could it be that he went back to Su He to vent his anger?

Thinking of Su He, Xu Jiaojiao felt a little irritated. She raised her hand and rubbed her head, forcing herself not to think about it.

At that time, in the camp.

Jia Rong, who was dozing off while looking at the picture book, suddenly felt a cold wind blow by, which made her shiver and wake her up from her drowsiness.

"Caiyun! Has the charcoal gone out? Why is it so cold?"

The maidservant quickly lifted the curtain and went into the inner tent to check the charcoal fire: "The charcoal fire is burning brightly and has not gone out. If Your Highness feels cold, I will go and fetch another wool blanket."

"How could that be?" Jia Rong reached for the cloak by the bedside and put it on. "I clearly felt a cool breeze. It couldn't be my imagination."

As she spoke, she felt another chill.

Jia Rong shivered again and pulled his cloak tighter around himself.

Following the direction the wind was coming from, she hesitantly went around to the back of the screen.

Seeing the large hole in the tent through which the wind was rushing in, Jia Rong: "???"

"Who did this?!"

A howl, laced with anger and shock, echoed through the night, startling many who were half-asleep...

Meanwhile, in the adjacent tent...

Su He, who had finally managed to make an opening in the tent and sneak inside, was completely stunned.

Where are people? ? ?
