After leaving Shangjing, they travelled for a day and arrived at Zijing Pass.
It was already late, and Li Yuebai lay down in his bedroom with his clothes on. He soon fell into a deep sleep but was awakened by a nightmare in the middle of the night.
After waking up, he lost his sleepiness for a while, and his body began to feel uncomfortable. His muscles were a little sore from not being used to long-term exercise, his joints were a little painful, and his head was a little dizzy.
Just when he wanted to get up and go out for a walk and exercise, the door opened.
The figure standing at the door was clearly illuminated by the moonlight. It was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still wearing a black inner garment. Because it was cold at night, he had casually put on a cloak. The bright moonlight flowed over him, showing a strange color.
“Why didn’t you sleep?” Murong Nan frowned and looked at Li Yuebai on the bed.
“I slept and woke up.” Li Yuebai explained.
As soon as the words came out, he felt something was wrong.
This naughty kid thought I was asleep, so why did he come to my bedroom?
“Oh.” Murong Nan didn’t care, he just walked into the bedroom, turned around and closed the door, thought for a while, and locked it. He walked to Li Yuebai’s bed, sat down, and was about to lift the quilt.
“What’s the matter?” Li Yuebai was a little panicked by his weird behavior and shrank back subconsciously.
“I came to see you.” Murong Nan raised his eyebrows calmly and whispered, “Does it hurt?”
It hurts, many places hurt, but it’s really embarrassing for a man of seven feet to complain about this, so Li Yuebai just shook his head and said, “I’m fine, go back to sleep.”
“Let me see.” Murong Nan pulled off the heavy, inferior coarse cloth quilt without saying anything.
Li Yuebai was still wearing clothes under the quilt. The white Hu clothing outlined a very good-looking figure. The belt and leather boots had been taken off and placed under the bed. Due to the obstruction of the bed curtain, only a small part of the moonlight could penetrate, and the specific situation could not be seen clearly.
Murong Nan took a candle from the bedside table, lit it, held it in his hand, and took it to the bed, shining it carefully.
Li Yuebai was hit by the sudden light and subconsciously covered his eyes with his hands.
This moment of negligence gave Murong Nan an opportunity to climb onto the bed and occupy half of the bed.
The not-so-big bed suddenly had one more person, and it became crowded. Li Yuebai only felt the young man’s hot body temperature coming through his clothes, and his warm breath close to his ears, and then the belt around his waist was pulled.
This was intolerable.
“Murong Nan, what are you going to…” Li Yuebai emphasized his tone and called the prince’s real name.
“…” Murong Nan was so fierce that he actually blinked and showed a few unhappy expressions. He loosened his hands and said, “Sir, do you hate me?”
Li Yuebai was almost choked by him.
Breaking into someone’s room in the middle of the night, getting on the bed and stripping clothes, and pretending to be wronged?
But… pretending to be wronged was really useful. Li Yuebai suddenly didn’t have the heart to be mean to him anymore.
A moment of weakness brought disaster.
Murong Nan pretended to be wronged, raised his eyebrows, and gently touched the inside of Li Yuebai’s thigh with his right hand through the clothes.
“Um…” This action looked very light, but it caused an indescribable burning pain. Li Yuebai almost cried out in pain, but fortunately he held it back in time.
Seeing his reaction, Murong Nan suddenly became serious.
“You are injured.”
No longer patient when taking off his clothes, Murong Nan pulled out the knife he carried with him from his waist, cut the cloth, and tore it into pieces.
The most tender skin on the inside of the thigh was exposed – it could be seen clearly under the candlelight – the originally fair and smooth skin was now rubbed red, blisters had appeared, and there were several serious places with broken skin, which was horrible.
“…” Li Yuebai took a breath of cold air.
Riding a horse for a long time would cause friction. Warriors who were used to riding horses were naturally not afraid of it, as they had already practiced it. However, Yun Weizhi’s delicate physique was not so good.
“Don’t move.” Murong Nan said in a deep voice, and then he took out a few small bottles of ointment from his pocket.
Li Yuebai was stunned for a moment, and his heart softened – it turned out that this child was worried about him from the beginning and brought him medicine on purpose. It was rare for a boy of this age to be so meticulous.
“I’ll do it myself…”
“I said, don’t move.” Murong Nan patted Li Yuebai’s uninjured parts lightly, and then he lowered his head and licked the injured part.
“Hmm…” Li Yuebai’s legs trembled because of his action, half because of pain and half because of shame.
The injured part was originally very sensitive, and it was actually slid over by the soft and moist tongue tip like this, making it feel itching and painful, which made people have many bad associations. What’s more, it was illuminated by the candle, and everything could be seen clearly. It was simply like… a midnight tryst.
And this person was still… His Royal Highness the Crown Prince…
Li Yuebai closed his eyes, subconsciously reached down with both hands, and grabbed Murong Nan’s hair.
Murong Nan didn’t care at all. He was like a beast, focusing on the food under his mouth, without any distractions. After licking the wound, he applied ointment.
“Okay, okay…” Seeing that he really had no distractions, Li Yuebai blushed even more, and even his voice became unconfident.
“You have a good rest, we will continue on our journey tomorrow.” After Murong Nan packed up everything, he left a dragonfly kiss on Li Yuebai’s forehead and left.
It was not until the next morning that Li Yuebai remembered a very important thing.
He could clearly ask the system to help him open a little trick!
In the following days, because he got used to exercise and riding horses, and with the protection of the system, such embarrassing injuries never appeared again.
After arriving at the Northwest Military Camp, the two did not go to investigate openly, but avoided Shan Hengxin’s eyes and ears, adopted a secret visit method, investigated everywhere, and spent many days. In the end, they not only found a lot of evidence, but also found several witnesses who were stranded outside – several surviving soldiers under Wang Yi.
These were enough to prove that Wang Yi had indeed sacrificed himself, while Shan Hengxin was incompetent, neglected his duties, and treated his subordinates harshly and claimed credit.
So they took the evidence and witnesses and turned their horses back.
The journey to the northwest was long, plus the time to collect evidence in the military camp, it took half a year to go back and forth. When the two returned to Shangjing, it was already the end of October.
As soon as he returned to the palace, Murong Nan met with his father, talked with his father for a long night, presented the evidence and witnesses, and everything was clear.
Li Yuebai returned to Qingxin Pavilion and continued to discuss with the system.
“Ding.” The system calculated: “The emperor’s trust in Shan Hengxin has dropped to 0%, and his trust in Zhao Ne has dropped to 10%”
“What about Concubine Hui?”
“The emperor’s trust in Concubine Hui has dropped to 50%.” The system said.
“Okay.” Li Yuebai nodded.
“Concubine Hui still has 50% trust. Isn’t the host disappointed?”
“System, you probably forgot.” Li Yuebai said: “Concubine Hui’s program has not started yet.”
