After conquering seven male favorites, the vicious heroine wants to run away

Chapter 213 You Are Not My Husband
Dan Baiyu gave a muffled "hmm" and carefully reduced the movement of his hands, afraid of hurting her.

An eerie silence filled the tent. Shi Nuanyu, who couldn't stand silence, lost her temper and let him dry her hair while she busied herself with other things under the covers.

Because she couldn't see inside the blanket, the ointment was applied directly to the wound, causing her to chuckle and cry out in pain.

Shi Nuanyu frowned and dared not continue.

Dan Baiyu's eyes darkened, and he paused in his wiping motion. "Your Highness, would you like me to apply the medicine for you?"

I need his help applying the medicine!

Shi Nuanyu refused, "No need, I can do it myself."

How could I let him see me in such an awkward position?

Moreover, in Kyoto he kept referring to himself as her husband, but here he became her subordinate, which clearly meant he wanted to separate himself from her.

Unperturbed by the rejection, Shan Baiyu used his inner strength to dry his hair and approached her without a word.

"We can apply medicine in the front but not in the back. We are husband and wife, Your Highness, you don't need to worry about it."

He spoke in a serious tone, his ears already bright red, and even his breathing became heavier.

Shi Nuanyu blinked and awkwardly held out the medicine bottle to him.

"Then be gentle."

It's already late tonight, and if we delay any longer, I don't know when I'll be able to rest.

She covered herself up and lay face down on the bed, waiting for him to help apply the medicine.

Dan Baiyu let out a heavy sigh, sat down on the edge of the bed, and lifted the blanket. When she saw the broken skin and bruises on her legs, she felt even more distressed. She scooped out a large dollop of ointment and gently applied it.

Inside the tent, candlelight flickered, and they seemed to be drowning in a sticky atmosphere.

A sharp pain shot through her thigh, and Shi Nuanyu groaned, gripping the blankets tightly, too afraid to move.

"Ok?"

It can't be that blisters have formed from the friction.

"All right."

Dan Baiyu coughed twice and withdrew his hand, pulling up the blanket to cover her. After doing this, he felt extremely hot, and his clothes were soaked with sticky sweat.

"I'm going to take a bath; Your Highness, please rest first."

"Hey," Shi Nuanyu hadn't even finished speaking when she saw him heading towards the bathtub where she had just washed up, "That's where I washed, do you want to change to another tub?"

He was just helping her apply medicine, so why was he even more embarrassed than her?

The water ladle fell to the ground, and Shan Baiyu hurriedly picked it up. In one go, he lifted the bath tub and placed it behind the clothes rack.

"No need, the army is short of water."

Shi Nuanyu stared blankly at his actions. He could have moved the shelf, so why was he moving the bath tub?

Then, as if remembering something, she pursed her lips and suppressed a laugh. How could such a dignified general be so innocent?

Hearing the woman's laughter, Shan Baiyu felt extremely hot all over, and when he buried his head in the tub and saw the small clothes on the clothes rack, his face turned even redder.

He could remain calm and composed at the princess's residence, so why has he turned into a brat now?

Shi Nuanyu admired the man's silhouette with great interest, looking at his strong muscles and powerful abs. He truly deserved to be a general who had fought on the battlefield.

Yu Changfeng's muscles were clearly defined and full of power, while Shan Baiyu was strong, with strong and solid arms and legs. No wonder he could lift a bath tub by himself.

Having served in the military, Shan Baiyu was sensitive to things. Feeling the burning gaze on the bed, he didn't know what to do.

I was about to put on my clothes and ask for lodging elsewhere when I remembered the Grand Preceptor's words: Your Highness must not be left alone at night.

After mentally preparing himself, he got out of the bathtub, pretended to be calm, carried the bathtub out of the tent, and then went into the tent and stood in front of the bed.

Shi Nuanyu paused for a moment, then understood and moved to the inside.

Are you going to sleep now?

She regretted asking the question as soon as it left her lips. What else could she be doing if she wasn't asleep so late? She couldn't help but blush, clutching the blanket tightly as she turned to her left.

Looking at the woman's back, Shan Baiyu felt a chill in his heart. Even if they talked it out, did she still not want to sleep in the same bed with him?
Did his hesitation during the day hurt her feelings?
Full of questions, I rolled onto the bed and reached out to touch it, but why was it so far away even though it was so close?

When she felt uncomfortable sleeping on her side, she turned over to lie flat on her back, and the man's hand happened to rest on her shoulder.

Shi Nuanyu asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Those eyes, brimming with sorrow, seemed to hold the look of someone who had been wronged.

Startled, Shan Baiyu withdrew his hand, not daring to look into her eyes. He hurriedly closed his eyes and pretended to fall asleep, but his disordered breathing gave him away.

Seeing his reaction, Shi Nuanyu boldly guessed, "Are you perhaps thinking about some nonsense?"

She slowly approached the man, placing her fair hand on his strong arm.

"Shan Baiyu, are you still doubting me because of what happened during the day?"

Upon hearing this, Shan Baiyu could no longer maintain his facade. "No, I believe Your Highness, but..."

I believe her, but I don't believe the royal family.

I don't want him to make wild guesses anymore, and I don't want the two of us to misunderstand each other because of these things.

Shi Nuanyu pressed half of her body against the man, not giving him a chance to escape.

“I have never mentioned that memorial to my father or mother. They ordered me to handle the matter in the memorial. You don’t need to worry. My father has never doubted the Shan family army.”

The soft body against his skin stirred his heart, making him feel hot all over.

Dan Baiyu's body stiffened, and he swallowed to ease the tension in his heart.

“I believe what Your Highness says. The Shan family was born to protect, and has never thought of rebelling.”

Exhausted from holding her head up, Shi Nuanyu slumped against him, "I suspect that letter is related to A-Ling."
I told him about the Shan family's matter. The Censorate couldn't even see me, but after I spoke with them, I received news.

She was worried that Ah Ling might have paid some price to get the news, as she hadn't seen him for several days and wondered if he was alright.
While he was in her arms, thinking of other men, Shan Baiyu's eyes dimmed and her heart ached.

Perhaps it's because he's stingy, or maybe it's his possessiveness that's causing the problem.

He comforted him gently, "Young Master Hua is alright. I met him on the day I went to Tianlang Village. He was with Young Master Wei."

Shi Nuanyu's eyes lit up. "Would they come here?"

She hadn't seen him for a long time and really missed him; she also wanted to tell Ah Ling that she had found his sister.

Dan Baiyu told him the truth, "I don't know. His Highness's disappearance has attracted the attention of many forces, and they went to deal with those people."

Seeing her worry, he continued to reassure her, "Your Highness need not worry. Young Master Hua and Young Master Wei are highly skilled in martial arts and will be fine."

Indeed, as the male protagonists of this book, unless they want to die, virtually no one can kill them.

Thinking of another person, Shi Nuanyu continued to ask, "Is there any news about Tao Huiyan?"

Dan Baiyu felt increasingly depressed. "Boss Tao is well. He is currently on his way to Southern Xinjiang."

The Grand Preceptor sent a message that after attacking the Northern Frontier, they would need assistance from many parties, so these people gathered together to handle the affairs of the Northern Frontier.

Shi Nuanyu hesitated for a moment, "Are Qinghe and Fusheng alright?"

"Your Highness," Shan Baiyu suddenly hugged her, speaking with sorrow, "Doesn't Your Highness ask if I'm doing well, if I'm eating well, or what I've been busy with these past few days?"

They asked everyone else, but not him.

The jealousy in his heart was like a flood threatening to overwhelm him.

Shi Nuanyu didn't know why he was like this.

The man's arms were tightly wrapped around her waist, making her feel a little uncomfortable. She twisted and turned, trying to break free.

For some unknown reason, Shan Baiyu was ignited, and he could no longer contain himself and questioned him.

"In Your Highness's heart, are they the only ones who are most important?"

Dan Baiyu has an avoidant personality.
