"Is the Prince out of his mind?" Ye Qichi was stunned for a couple of seconds before blurting out a few words.

"..." Xie Ruotong was left speechless.

"Don’t worry about his kindness." Ye Qichi didn’t care at all, "Anyway, there’s no possibility between us. However, I want to ask you, what do you want to do after you have taken your revenge?"

Xie Ruotong paused for a moment.

She shook her head, "I haven’t thought about it."

"Then wander the world with me when the time comes." Ye Qichi smiled.

Xie Ruotong frowned, "You want to wander?"

"Who wants to stay in a court where you might lose your head at any moment? Of course, I’ll wander. We’ll make loads of Silver and flirt with tons of pretty boys."

"Pretty boys?" Xie Ruotong really couldn’t understand the wild words of Ye Qichi.

"Hehehe." Ye Qichi laughed slyly, "You’ll know when the time comes."

Xie Ruotong always felt it wasn’t anything good.

What Ye Qichi was thinking.

Can’t do it with the heart, doing it with the kidneys is fine too.

In this life, isn’t it all about living unrestrainedly?!

The two returned to their tents, preparing to go back for dinner.

Just when they reached the entrance, they saw Xiao Wu again.

Xiao Wu could clearly sense the Princess’s disdain for him.

He didn’t like it either.

But the Prince insisted that he come find the Princess.

He braced himself and said, "The Prince has asked the Princess to come to his tent, to have dinner together."

Ye Qichi frowned.

This guy, what kind of drugs is he on?!

Xie Ruotong, however, took it calmly.

She knew that the Prince’s feelings for the Princess were definitely not as indifferent as the Princess thought.

Ye Qichi was planning to decline outright.

After thinking for a moment, "I’ll get myself ready and then go, you can go back first."

"Yes." Xiao Wu didn’t think much further.

He was still quite touched in his heart.

The Princess finally spoke up.

And even knew to dress up a bit before meeting the Prince.

Xiao Wu left happily.

After he left, Ye Qichi spoke to Xie Ruotong, "Go tell Bai Mowan that Xiao Jinxing invites her to join him for dinner."

"..." Xie Ruotong stared at Ye Qichi with wide eyes.

That might not be a good idea, right?!

"Go on, go on, trust me, it’s fine." Ye Qichi urged.

"But will Bai Mowan believe it?" Xie Ruotong worried.

"She won’t believe it. But since it’s about Xiao Jinxing, even if Bai Mowan doesn’t believe it, she will still go to check, and then she will see Xiao Jinxing waiting for her to dine together."

"The Prince is waiting to dine with you." Xie Ruotong felt compelled to clarify.

"He’d rather be with Bai Mowan. It’s just that because he locked me up for two days, he thinks to make it up to me, seeing me let Bai Mowan accompany him, he will know I don’t mind."

"I think, the Prince might get so annoyed by you that he’ll die." Xie Ruotong murmured.

No, he won’t; he will be grateful.

Grateful that she facilitated him being with Bai Mowan.

Seeing that Ye Qichi was determined, Xie Ruotong left to call Bai Mowan.

Ye Qichi calmly returned to her tent.

Nonsense.

Of course, she couldn’t dine with Xiao Jinxing tonight.

No matter what Xiao Jinxing’s purpose was, if she went today, Bai Mowan would surely find out.

She had just told Bai Mowan about her relationship with Xiao Jinxing, now if she did something this ambiguous, wouldn’t Bai Mowan think she was deceiving her, and hate her to death?!

She didn’t want to cause any trouble.

Ye Qichi couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

Being a character in a book, it’s really hard.

...

Bai Mowan entered Xiao Jinxing’s tent tentatively.

Xiao Jinxing, with his back to her, heard her coming and said in a somewhat cold voice, "You’re here?"

Bai Mowan glanced at the sumptuous dinner before her.

She could clearly sense that Xiao Jinxing was waiting for her.

That’s when she let her guard down and responded, "Yeah."

Xiao Jinxing smiled lightly at the edge of his mouth.

He put down the scroll in his hands and turned around.

His eyes clearly paused for a moment.

At this moment, upon seeing Bai Mowan, he visibly froze for an instant.

Then, his gaze shifted to Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu was also on the verge of tears.

He was certain he had spoken to the Princess.

He also didn’t know why it was General Bai who came.

"Xie Ruotong just said you asked me to join you for dinner, I thought she was deliberately lying to me, but it turns out it’s true," Bai Mowan said with a smile, "Why did you let Xie Ruotong call me?"

He wondered if Xiao Jinxing was deliberately passing something to Ye Qichi.

He wanted to show Ye Qichi his feelings.

He recalled what Ye Qichi said this afternoon.

Ye Qichi said her relationship with Xiao Jinxing was just a transaction.

She was half-believing at first, but now she believed it more than ever.

Her mood had also improved a lot.

Xiao Jinxing’s expression darkened.

Without much thought, he knew it was Ye Qichi who intentionally had Bai Mowan come over.

Thus, Ye Qichi was still angry.

Intentionally letting Bai Mowan come seemed magnanimous, but in truth, it was a form of covert jealousy.

Xiao Jinxing suppressed his internal emotions.

He said, "Please, have a seat."

"Okay," Bai Mowan was in a good mood.

The dinner today was evidently made with care.

Xiao Jinxing must have also noticed her recent bad mood, so he probably felt somewhat guilty about what he said that day, thus he specially came to apologize.

Of course.

Xiao Jinxing was definitely the Prince.

There were many things she wouldn’t say out loud, not wanting to make him lose face.

She knew his intentions were good.

The two of them ate dinner.

"Brother Xing, do you not have an appetite?" Bai Mowan noticeably saw that Xiao Jinxing wasn’t eating much.

Xiao Jinxing did not respond.

"Brother Xing?" Bai Mowan furrowed her brows, her tone displeased.

Not only was he eating very little, but he was also distracted.

Xiao Jinxing came back to his senses, "Hmm?"

"What are you thinking about?"

Xiao Jinxing realized what she meant, and he said, "Thinking about military matters. I’ve decided, we can’t delay cutting off Beimu Country’s food supply. Tomorrow, I’ll arrange for personnel to go and scout."

Bai Mowan felt slightly better after hearing Xiao Jinxing say that.

So, he was thinking about military matters.

She had thought that Brother Xing was growing impatient with her.

She said, "Tomorrow morning, we’ll discuss it with father. I also think we should act sooner. Delaying for too long will only make the people of Gujiang City suffer."

Xiao Jinxing nodded.

"Brother Xing, eat more, you’ve lost weight since you arrived at the border city," Bai Mowan actively served Xiao Jinxing the food.

Xiao Jinxing responded. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The two continued to eat.

Xiao Wu shook his head from the side.

He muttered to himself.

The Prince was just thinking of the Princess, The Prince was just thinking of the Princess.

The things the Prince could not say out aloud.

He really wanted to help the Prince tell General Bai.

But he dared not.

He was afraid of being beheaded.

After the dinner.

Bai Mowan talked with Xiao Jinxing about some military matters before leaving his tent.

After she left.

Xiao Jinxing then put down the battle map.

The matter of deploying troops tomorrow, he had actually had ideas for a long time.

At this moment, he couldn’t help but look in the direction of the tent door.

"It’s still early; maybe the Princess hasn’t gone to sleep yet," Xiao Wu spoke out.

Xiao Jinxing gave a sharp look.

"I’ve said too much," Xiao Wu quickly acknowledged his mistake.

But suddenly, Xiao Jinxing stood up and walked out with big strides.

Xiao Wu puckered his lips.

The Prince is really saying one thing but meaning another!
