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

"Hmm," Yu Chen responded. "Are your legs still sore?"

After she finished speaking, she paused for a moment and tried to curl her legs up.

My inner thighs are still sore, but it's much better now. "Much better."

Yu Chen reached under the blanket and touched her thigh, pressing his thumb against the muscles on the side of her leg and slowly pushing with the same force as last night.

"Can I still ride today?"

Su Wuli looked at him and nodded again.

She then pulled her leg out of his palm, crawled out of the blanket, and stood up with her shoes on.

Then, bending over, I folded the blanket. After folding it twice, it wasn't neat enough, so I took it apart and folded it again.

Yu Chen sat up, reached out and took the blanket she had folded halfway, quickly folded it up and placed it aside.

Su Wuli squatted down to find her outer robe.

He had folded her outer robe and placed it on the low table last night; she picked it up and put it on.

After breakfast, the soldiers began packing up the camp, dismantling the tents one by one.

Feng Xi led her horse over.

Su Wuli glanced at it and froze.

The saddle is different now.

[Remember the fastest online novel website: 202ᴋᴋs.ᴄᴏᴍ]

The saddle I rode yesterday was standard military equipment, with a wooden base and a thin layer of felt on top.

hard.

It hurts so much that the inside of her thigh is still burning.

I changed my outfit today.

The base is still made of wood, but a thick pad has been added on top.

It's wrapped in black leather, and it looks soft.

She reached out and pressed the cushion, sinking into it.

It's very soft.

Yu Chen walked over from the side, holding a riding whip in his hand.

He glanced at her hand on the saddle, "Try sitting on it."

Su Wuli stepped onto the stirrups and flipped up, the cushion supporting her softly.

It covered her hips and legs.

Su Wuli tried to move around and shift her position.

The cushion sank slightly into her body, but it wasn't uncomfortable.

She felt so comfortable that she almost groaned out loud.

She looked down at him, her eyes crinkling with laughter, "So comfortable."

Yu Chen nodded and then handed her the riding whip.

Su Wuli took it and held it in her hand.

He turned around, walked to his horse, and mounted it.

Shadow Falcon and Feng Xi also mounted their horses.

The column began to move.

Su Wuli rode her horse behind Yu Chen as she did yesterday, with Yingjun and Feng Xi on either side.

I looked down at the soft saddle.

She hung the riding whip on the saddle, gripped the reins with both hands, and swayed gently with the horse's steps.

The morning light shone from the east.

After the group had been traveling for about an hour, the pace of those ahead slowed down.

Su Wuli didn't know what had happened; she only saw that the cavalry in front of her had changed from two lines to one, and the horses' speed had changed from a brisk pace to a slow walk.

She turned her head and glanced at Feng Xi.

He was also looking ahead, his face expressionless.

As if sensing her gaze, Feng Xi turned her head and whispered, "They're lining up ahead."

Su Wuli nodded and looked away.

At noon, the group stopped at a riverbank.

The soldiers led their horses to drink water and squatted by the river to wash their faces.

Some people took out dry rations from their bags and started eating.

Feng Xi dismounted, walked to her side, and took the reins from her.

Su Wuli stepped down from the stirrups and steadied herself by holding onto the saddle.

Yu Chen walked up to her, looked down at her, and asked, "Are you tired?"

"It's alright." She shook her head.

"Drink some water," he reminded him.

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli took her water pouch off her horse, opened the lid, and took a sip.

She then naturally handed him the water pouch.

Yu Chen glanced at him, reached out and took a sip, then handed it back to her.

She screwed the cap on and hung the water bag back on the horse's back.

He looked at the road ahead, which turned a corner by the riverbank and was blocked by a grove of trees, its end nowhere in sight.

Yu Chen walked to the riverbank, squatted down, and splashed water on his face.

Water droplets dripped from his chin, landing on his armor and running down the gaps in the metal plates.

Su Wuli stood there watching his back.

He had broad shoulders and a tight belt around his waist.

She looked down at her toes, which brushed against the grass.

"Young Master Su—" Feng Xi's voice came from the side, then stopped abruptly.

Su Wuli looked up when she heard this, and saw Feng Xi standing a few steps away.

His mouth was open, but his face had an expression as if he had said something wrong.

He glanced at Yu Chen's retreating figure and quickly shut his mouth.

Seeing his hesitant expression, Su Wuli asked, "What's wrong?"

Feng Xi opened his mouth.

"Speak," Yu Chen said without turning around.

"There's some shade over there, Young Master Su, would you like to rest there?"

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Yu Chen again.

Su Wuli looked at the shady spot he was pointing to.

It was a large tree by the river, its shadow spread across the ground.

"Hmm." She said as she walked over and squatted down under the shade of the tree.

Feng Xi stood a few steps away and did not follow.

Yu Chen stood up from the riverbank, shook the water off his hands, and turned around to look at her sitting in the shade of a tree.

I walked over and sat down next to her.

The edge of the tree shade just covered the two of them, and sunlight filtered through the leaves and fell on his shoulders.

The team rested for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before setting off again.

The sun moves from the east to its zenith, and from its zenith to the west.

Compared to yesterday, Su Wuli felt much more comfortable today.

Once they arrived at their destination and set up camp, Yu Chen left as he had the day before.

Having learned from experience, she went inside the tent herself after it was set up.

I don't know when I fell asleep.

After dinner, an oil lamp was lit in the tent.

She lay on the felt mat and flipped through a few pages of the book she had gotten from Yu Chen.

I didn't understand it very well; I couldn't absorb a single word.

I simply closed the book, placed it on the low table, pulled up the blanket, and closed my eyes.

He didn't come back.

Footsteps came and went outside the tent.

I don't know how long I slept, but I always felt cold in my drowsy state.

The blanket was wrapped tightly around her, and the cold wind seeped in through the gaps in the canvas, brushing against her cheeks.

She was so cold that she curled up her legs and tucked her hands under the blanket, leaving only her face exposed.

She heard it when the curtain was lifted.

The footsteps were very light, and the sound of armor clashing was also very soft.

It was clearly suppressed on purpose.

Yu Chen stood by the low table for a while.

Su Wuli turned over, and the blanket slipped off her shoulders.

She touched the blanket a couple of times but couldn't find it, so she withdrew her hand.

Yu Chen came over and pulled the blanket up to cover her shoulders.

Su Wuli opened her eyes and saw him standing in front of her, still wearing his armor.

The light from the oil lamp fell on his face, casting the shadow of his brow bone below his cheekbone.

She reached out and grabbed his wrist, her eyes not yet fully open, her voice still nasal from just waking up and a hint of grievance in them.

Why are you so late coming home?

Yu Chen looked down at her hand, her fingers delicately gripping his wrist.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"It's cold," she said, her voice still sleepy.

Yu Chen released her hand, stood up, and began to remove his armor.

She then lay down wearing her undergarments.

Su Wuli immediately snuggled into his arms, pressing her face against his chest.

The man seemed to be surrounded by a furnace; his skin underneath was burning hot.

He warmed up the coldness on her body.

The blanket was still the same blanket, but Su Wuli suddenly felt warm after he lay down.
