Shocking! The actress was dragged to the regent's bedchamber every night.

Su Wuli looked down at his legs.

He was wearing armor, and the metal plates on his legs gleamed with a dim, cold light in the lamplight, looking hard and rigid.

I didn't even have a chance to say anything.

Yu Chen had already reached out and taken the folded blanket from the side, unfolded it, and stuffed it onto his lap.

The blanket was folded in several layers, and when she sat down, she sank in slightly, feeling so comfortable on the sofa that she almost hummed out loud.

He tucked the blanket in and made sure she was seated securely before letting go.

Su Wuli was really hungry.

However, my fingers were still trembling when I picked up the chopsticks. Because I was in a hurry, the tips of the chopsticks poked twice in the plate before I could pick up the food.

Just as it was brought to my lips, it trembled and fell back into the bowl.

Yu Chen simply reached out and took the chopsticks and bowl from her hands.

Su Wuli paused, before she could say anything.

He had already picked up a piece of food and brought it to her lips; the tip of his chopsticks had already touched her lower lip.

She instinctively opened her mouth and ate it.

"You eat too," Su Wuli mumbled, her mouth full of food.

Yu Chen picked up another bite and handed it to him.

Su Wuli chewed and swallowed, "You eat too."

"You can eat after I've finished feeding you." The man picked up a piece of green vegetable and handed it to him.

She suddenly stopped chewing and looked up at him.

Yu Chen's gaze fell on the corner of her mouth.

Su Wuli wanted to say that she could do it herself, but she met the man's gaze.

There was absolutely no room for negotiation.

"Aren't you tired?" he asked.

She opened her mouth, and he fed her another bite.

I ate most of a bowl of rice and half of the vegetables.

Unable to eat any more, Su Wuli turned her head away from the chopsticks he offered.

I'm full.

Yu Chen looked at the remaining rice in the bowl and the leftover food on the plate, and didn't let her eat anymore.

He put down the bowl and reached out to put his arm around her waist.

Then they carried her, blanket and all, and placed her on the felt mat next to them.

Su Wuli settled herself down against the neatly folded blanket.

Yu Chen then picked up the bowl and ate the rest of the food using the chopsticks she had used.

Afterward, he collected the bowls and plates into a tray and took it out to place outside the tent curtain.

When the curtain was lifted, a chilly night wind blew in, and Su Wuli shivered.

A moment later, Yu Chen lifted the curtain and walked in, carrying a basin of water.

Steam rose from the water's surface, drifting gently in the light of the oil lamp.

He placed the basin of water next to the low table, squatted down, and tested the water temperature.

"You can't take a shower now." He looked up at her. "Wash your face."

"Hmm." Su Wuli tried to sit up from the felt.

It's much better than before; at least walking is easier now.

She soaked her handkerchief in hot water, wrung it out, and covered her face with it.

The heat seeped in through the gaps in the handkerchief, steaming away all the fatigue of the day.

I closed my eyes, and the handkerchief felt warm on my eyelids like a steam eye mask.

Then he turned the handkerchief over and wiped his neck.

The water had cooled down a bit, so she put the handkerchief back.

Yu Chen took the handkerchief out of the water and washed his face with the hot water she had used.

Then he took the washbasin and went outside.

Su Wuli sat back on the felt mat and waited for him to return.

When the curtain was lifted, he had a blanket in his hand.

Yu Chen first placed the blanket on the low table, then turned his back to her and began to remove his armor.

The shoulder straps were below his shoulders, and he reached for them a couple of times. Su Wuli, seeing this, subconsciously stood up, walked behind him, and helped him untie the straps.

The shoulder armor slid off her shoulder and landed heavily in her hands.

The metal sheets were stacked one on top of another, still warm from his body heat.

Su Wuli placed the shoulder armor to the side.

He then unbuckled his belt, breastplate, and arm guards, taking them off one by one and placing them on the low table.

The inner garment beneath the armor was probably worn down by the weight of the armor over a long period of time.

It was then placed on his back.

Standing behind him, Su Wuli could clearly see the outline of the man's shoulder blades appearing and disappearing beneath his clothes.

She glanced at it once and then looked away.

Yu Chen removed the last piece of armor and turned around.

Su Wuli stood behind him, still clutching the ribbon in her hand.

He took the ribbon from her hand and placed it on the low table.

He then walked to the side and laid the two blankets side by side on the felt.

One was placed at the bottom, and another was folded in half and placed on the headrest.

He squatted down and pulled the blanket out again, making sure it was flat before straightening up.

I picked her up from the chair and put her in the blanket.

Su Wuli's back was pressed against the soft blanket, her head resting on the end that was folded twice.

Yu Chen sat down next to her and reached out to untie the sash of her outer robe.

Su Wuli looked down at his fingers as he gently tugged at the sash, causing the outer robe to fall open.

Then he pulled the collar aside, revealing the thin inner garment underneath.

She thought she was going to sleep.

"Let me give you a massage to relax your muscles," he said, placing his palm on her calf.

Press your thumb against the calf muscle and slowly push downwards.

Su Wuli gripped the edge of the blanket, biting her lip to swallow the sound that almost escaped her throat.

The large hand pressed down a few more times.

My legs gradually went from stiff to flexible.

When his thumb pressed against the back of her knee, she couldn't help but groan.

It came out of the nose and was soft like a cat's meow.

The sound was exceptionally clear in the quiet tent, and her face flushed instantly.

Footsteps could be heard outside the tent, and patrolling soldiers were walking past.

The sound of boots clattering on the grass could be clearly heard through the canvas in the quiet night.

Not to mention her groan just now.

Yu Chen paused, looking at her with a slight smile. "So comfortable?"

He had a slight smile on his face.

Su Wuli's face turned even redder, the heat spreading from her neck all the way to her ears.

This doesn't sound like he's asking about massages; it feels like he's talking about something else entirely.

She turned her head away, not daring to look at him, and buried her face in her arms.

Yu Chen chuckled and stopped teasing her.

He moved his fingers away from behind her knees and pressed up to her thighs.

Su Wuli gripped the blanket tightly, her nails digging into the fibers.

Biting her lip, she suppressed the sound that was about to escape, making her throat tighten.

When the large hand pressed on her waist, her body arched slightly.

Su Wuli bit her lip and swallowed the sound back, only letting out a whisper.

Yu Chen paused for a moment.

He looked up at her.

Su Wuli's face turned bright red, from her cheeks all the way to her earlobes, and a white mark appeared on her lips from being bitten.

Yu Chen looked at the white mark on her waist and moved his fingers away from her waist to her knee.

His eyes changed slightly.

"It's not soundproof here," he said with a warning.

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli's heart skipped a beat.

Footsteps approached again outside the tent, this time even closer than before.

And there were people talking, but I couldn't hear what they were saying.

Su Wuli turned her head to look at him, lowered her voice and squeezed out, "I didn't say anything."

Yu Chen's gaze fixed on her in place.

Su Wuli paused, realizing that he wasn't talking about whether she made a sound or not.

He was thinking about something else that made him speak.

Su Wuli lowered her eyes, not daring to look at him. "Then... what should we do?" Her voice was very soft. "I... I'm not making a sound anymore."
