She refused to marry.

Xiao Xuanjing frowned.

Seeing this, Su Wanwan pinched herself with all her might, her eyes brimming with tears, and knelt down in front of the woman, grabbing her sleeve and crying.

"Dear Auntie, we really are refugees..."

Seeing her crying so pitifully, the old woman squatted down and patted her hand, saying...

"Don't blame this old woman, the world is unforgiving, they're conscripting men everywhere these days."

Your brother probably escaped because of this too. Don't harm me and this old man.

There were originally five people in this family, but they were all taken away when Prince Changxin conscripted men...

Besides, your accents don't sound like those of locals, and they certainly don't sound like siblings...

They seem more like a married couple.

With teary eyes, Su Wanwan said pitifully, "Good aunt, you're right, we're indeed not from here. I'm originally from the capital, and my husband and I grew up together."

After I came of age, my family fell into poverty, and my father sold me to a barbarian as a concubine at a high price.

My husband's hair turned white overnight because of this. He searched for me for half a year before finally finding me and bringing me back. But then he was afraid that my father and the barbarians would capture me and take me back.

That's why they've been hiding everywhere. A few days ago, while passing through the area, their fleeing horses and money were robbed.

That's why I had no choice but to go deep into the mountains to gather medicinal herbs and find a new place to rest. My husband isn't in good health, and if he catches a chill, I'm afraid...

Su Wanwan lowered her head and sobbed, no longer speaking.

The old woman looked up at the man standing beside her; he was indeed a young man with silver hair. The woman before her was breathtakingly beautiful.

"Sigh... Come in."

"Mmm..." Su Wanwan sobbed softly, turning to her lord and saying, "Husband, come and thank your good aunt..."

"Don't thank me, we're all unfortunate people, come in..." the old woman sighed, helping the woman up, "I'll make room for you and you can change into some clean clothes."

"Thank you, dear aunt." Su Wanwan bowed slightly, then turned back, her eyes filled with affection, and said, "Husband..."

Xiao Xuanjing's expression turned serious, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he cupped his hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you, Mother-in-law."

Su Wanwan took Jun Shang's hand, her eyes pleading, "Husband, I've said too much, will you be angry?"

Su Wanwan felt a warmth in her heart and nestled in the emperor's arms.

An hour later, the two ate a few steamed buns, took a bath, and prepared to rest.

Xiao Xuanjing lay down, his hands behind his head.

Su Wanwan blew out the lamp, lay down fully clothed, and said, "Your Majesty, I have no choice but to ask you to endure this for a few days."

Xiao Xuanjing frowned. "Is Madam aggrieved?"

Su Wanwan happily turned to the side, looking at the emperor's profile, "I'm not wronged. Sharing a bed with the emperor is a bargain for me."

"Little fox, shameless." Xiao Xuanjing's lips involuntarily curled up.

Su Wanwan smiled gently, gazing at the emperor's profile.

She gripped the emperor's robe tightly and closed her eyes with a sense of peace.

In the middle of the night, she suddenly felt a chill on her back. A cold wind blew by, and she couldn't help but lean against the warm body beside her.

Her hand slipped inside her warm clothes.

In her sleep, this warm body enveloped her tightly.

The next day, Su Wanwan was awakened by the rumbling sound of her stomach.

The moment I opened my eyes, my body froze.

She leaned against the emperor's side, her hand already slipped inside the robe of Feng Chenjun.

The burning heat seared her fingertips, making her afraid to move.

After a few moments of thought, Su Wanwan slowly tried to pull it out.

Unfortunately, he was too nervous, his palms were sweaty, and the sweat stuck to Junshang's chest muscles, making it impossible to pull himself away.

Putting all that aside, Your Majesty has a really good figure; your body is like a furnace.

If I could bring it home to warm my bed... it would relieve a lot of discomfort during my period.

Just thinking about it makes me feel good, and my hands start to wander.

"Madam, have you had enough?"

The emperor's somber, hoarse voice rang in her ears. She quickly withdrew her hand and buried her head in the covers.

"Unexpected, unexpected. It's cold, and the blankets are thin... Your Majesty, please calm down."

Xiao Xuanjing turned to the side and looked down at the bulging mass under the covers.

Thinking about last night's dream, his brow furrowed again.

In his dream, he was taken advantage of by a little fox. What bothered him when he woke up was that he didn't resist in the dream; instead, he seemed to enjoy it.

When I woke up, I felt a small, soft hand resting on my chest, exploring around.

Like a dream, it was somewhat enjoyable and quite pleasant.

Xiao Xuanjing got up, put on the clothes his eldest son had found for him, and walked out of the courtyard.

The courtyard gate was closed; the two elders had gone out early in the morning to sell medicinal herbs.

Su Wanwan got up, dressed, and went to the kitchen.

Several large steamed buns were placed in the kitchen, and next to them stood a jar containing sauerkraut.

He took the steamed buns and placed them on the small table in the courtyard. He then took a small bowl of meat from the jar and said to the emperor, who was looking around, "Your Majesty, it's time to eat."

Xiao Xuanjing walked back. "How is your recovery?"

"It's much better now." Su Wanwan twisted her wrist, which was now able to move freely, though it still hurt a little.

Xiao Xuanjing pried a piece of jade from the dagger. "After you've had your meal, take this to town and exchange it for twenty taels of silver."

Rent a horse-drawn carriage and travel along the official road for half a day to reach the Crown Prince's camp.

"With Prince Changxin gone, no one will take your life."

Su Wanwan frowned, "I am innocent with the young master, and I am not here because of him."

"The little fox let the prince go, which shows she cares a bit. Although I don't know why you came to deliver the grain, I appreciate your kindness."

"Besides, I am imprisoned and cannot protect you. You must go to him to survive," Xiao Xuanjing said.

Su Wanwan's gaze was resentful. "Your Majesty, I let the Crown Prince go because I knew he would definitely become the Crown Prince."

I do not wish for Your Majesty's safety, so I let him go that day in order to plead with him to spare Your Majesty's life in the future.

"My love has always been for Your Majesty... but Your Majesty is as lofty as the bright moon, and my affection is but a gentle breeze."

Xiao Xuanjing's eyes were deep, his hand hovering in mid-air, the jade stone on his fingertips, never falling.

"When His Majesty went to war, I, a humble woman, could not sleep at night, fearing to hear bad news. After the New Year, I heard that I was trapped."

This humble woman travels through the night, hoping to see the Emperor even if there is only a sliver of hope...

"So, Your Majesty, please don't send me away, okay?" Su Wanwan looked up and tugged at Feng Chenjun's sleeve, pleading.

"You know the Princess won't tolerate you, so why do all this?" Xiao Xuanjing sat down.

Su Wanwan smiled gently, "This humble woman is happy. As long as I see Your Majesty, this humble woman is joyful."

If the eldest princess falls, the Su family will surely suffer.

Therefore, for this reason, Lord Fengchen cannot die.

Xiao Xuanjing pondered for a long time, "I now understand the little fox's heart. I have misunderstood you. If I can return to the capital, I will definitely bring you into my residence."

"No need... I'm content as long as I can see that Your Majesty is alive... I dare not hope for a title..." Su Wanwan hurriedly waved her hand.

Xiao Xuanjing frowned slightly, as if deep in thought.

The little fox's thoughts are very deep; what exactly is she thinking?
