The prince loves me like his life, but I force him to rebel

Gu Nianzhi lowered her head slightly, trying to hide her shyness, but her slightly trembling eyelashes betrayed her inner unrest at the moment.

"What's more... I want to continue what they just interrupted..."

Sima Yao stared at Gu Nianzhi in front of him with a playful look on his face.

She was completely different from the previous her at this moment, but no matter whether it was the proactive and brave Gu Nianzhi or the shy and passive Gu Nianzhi in front of him, Sima Yao couldn't help but be moved.

His eyes were filled with deep love and attachment, as if he could never see enough.

When Gu Nianzhi heard Sima Yao's words, her face turned even redder and she lowered her head even lower. The blush seemed to spread to the base of her neck.

Her hands trembled slightly, trying to break free from Sima Yao's hand, but seemed reluctant to do so. She bit her lips, feeling both happy and nervous and shy.

Sima Yao looked at Gu Nianzhi's adorable appearance and liked her more and more.

He approached Gu Nianzhi gently and whispered in her ear: "Nianzhi, do you know that my feelings for you are as deep and warm as this sunset."

Gu Nianzhi's body trembled slightly, and he raised his head, his eyes meeting Sima Yao's. At that moment, it seemed as if time had stopped.

The two of them just stared at each other quietly. Everything around them seemed to no longer matter. Only the affection and love in each other's eyes flowed.

The sun was setting slowly over the mountain.

On this high mountain top, their shadows were stretched out by the setting sun, like a beautiful and moving picture.

……

The sun was setting, and the fireball that was originally hanging high in the sky was now like an old man, slowly sliding down towards the horizon. The brilliant afterglow was like a golden veil, gently sprinkling on the earth, making everything around it look like a dream.

Dusk begins to appear, as if it is a mysterious curtain quietly drawn by nature. The faint shadows begin to spread in the corners, interweaving with the gradually dimming light, creating a quiet and slightly mysterious atmosphere.

Gu Nianzhi gently leaned against Sima Yao's chest, her face pressed against his warm clothes, feeling his strong heartbeat.

Sima Yao leaned against a big tree with one arm around Gu Nianzhi. They seemed to be intoxicated in the tranquility and beauty of the moment and were reluctant to leave this place of love that had special significance.

"Let's go back. General Shu won't be able to find us and will be worried." It was Gu Nianzhi who broke the silence first. She raised her head, her eyes full of tenderness and concern. "Besides, it's too late at night, and the mountain road is rugged and not very safe." Her voice was as gentle as the breeze.

"Okay." Although Sima Yao agreed verbally, he held Gu Nianzhi tighter in his arms, as if he wanted to cling to this moment of tenderness for a little longer.

Suddenly, as if he had made up his mind, he leaned over and launched an attack on Gu Nianzhi's lips.

At that moment, it seemed as if the air around them became hot, their breathing intertwined, and each other's heartbeats were clearly audible.

The two were immersed in this charming and lingering atmosphere, unable to part.

Sima Yao's kiss was passionate and affectionate, as if he wanted to pour all his love into this moment.

Gu Nianzhi was slightly stunned at first, and then she gradually responded. Her hands unconsciously hugged Sima Yao's neck, as if she wanted to get closer to him. Their lips were attached to each other, as if they had forgotten everything around them, only each other existed.

However, Gu Nianzhi gently pushed him away. Her face was flushed, and there was a hint of shyness and reluctance in her eyes.

"Your Highness, we must go back." Her voice trembled slightly, as if she had not yet completely calmed down from the passion just now.

"Don't call me Prince when we're here." Sima Yao's eyes revealed a hint of dissatisfaction and desire, and his voice was low and magnetic.

"Brother Yao..." Gu Nianzhi blushed and called softly. As soon as she said that, she suddenly remembered that she was several years older than Sima Yao, and it seemed inappropriate to address him like that. A trace of embarrassment and hesitation flashed across her face.

Before she could change her words, Sima Yao quickly claimed this "Brother Yao".

"I like this name. From now on, when we are alone together, you should call me this. If you call me Prince again, I will definitely punish you." There was a hint of cunning and ambiguity in his eyes.

"How will the punishment be?" Gu Nianzhi asked curiously, with a playful look on her face.

"This is the punishment."

Sima Yao put his arms around Gu Nianzhi's waist and kissed her lips again.

This time the kiss was more passionate and deeper than before, as if it wanted to capture her soul.

Gu Nianzhi struggled slightly at first, but then gradually sank into his enthusiasm and began to respond.

In this passionate kiss, time seemed to stop. They forgot everything around them and were only immersed in their love for each other.

"We, we really have to go back."

After a long time, Gu Nianzhi panted and reminded Sima Yao again.

There was a hint of reluctance in her eyes, but she also understood that she had to leave this place now.

Sima Yao finally stood up, with a look of wanting more on his face.

He pulled Gu Nianzhi up, and their eyes met, and they saw the deep affection and attachment in each other's eyes. They smiled at each other, and that smile was full of sweetness and happiness.

The two mounted their horses and walked slowly on the mountain road back. The sound of horse hooves echoed on the quiet mountain road, as if telling their story.

Sima Yao gently embraced Gu Nianzhi and let her lean on his arms. Gu Nianzhi closed her eyes slightly, feeling his warmth and care.

As the night deepened, the surrounding scenery became blurred, but their hearts were closely connected, as if nothing could separate them.

Just like when they came, there were two of them on one horse, but this time Sima Yao was so close to Gu Nianzhi in front of him, and his hands were restlessly rubbing Gu Nianzhi's waist.

The warm touch seemed to carry a slight electric current, causing Gu Nianzhi's heartbeat to speed up slightly.

"Don't go to Huaiyuan's tent tonight."

Sima Yao whispered in Gu Nianzhi's ear, his breath blowing on Gu Nianzhi's neck, bringing a tingling sensation.

"Is your Highness jealous again?" Gu Nianzhi tilted his head slightly, with a smile on his lips and a hint of cunning in his eyes.

"After all, you are already mine. It will be inconvenient to be in the same room with General Shu." Sima Yao added, with a hint of unquestionable firmness in his voice, "Not to mention, I will have sleepless nights."

Gu Nianzhi chuckled, and the crisp laughter echoed in the silent night sky, as if a string of silver bells were gently swaying.

"Your Majesty, although I stayed in General Shu's tent, General Shu was out on patrol those nights, and I slept alone the whole night. Please don't let your imagination run wild."

Gu Nianzhi's voice was soft and gentle, as if she was comforting a child.

Gu Nianzhi's words made Sima Yao's heart skip a beat, and his brows furrowed even tighter.

Shu Huaiyuan has always led troops without paying attention to details. Even if he is patrolling in the camp, he does not need to go out in person.

Even if he was asked to patrol at night personally, it would be impossible for him to stay away from the tent all night.

By doing this, was he intentionally giving up his tent to Gu Nianzhi to sleep in?

Countless questions surged in Sima Yao's mind, and his thoughts began to run fast. He tried to find some clues from Gu Nianzhi's words, trying to sort out the clues.

Sima Yao fell into deep thought, his eyes became deep and sharp.

He began to recall every bit of his time with Shu Huaiyuan, trying to find something unusual. Shu Huaiyuan was a brave general who had killed countless enemies on the battlefield and made great achievements. He and Sima Yao were also good friends for many years, and they had a deep friendship. However, at this moment, Sima Yao had to re-examine their relationship.

"Nianzhi, are you sure General Shu is really out on patrol every night?"

Sima Yao's voice was low and magnetic, and his eyes were fixed on Gu Nianzhi, as if he wanted to see some clues from her face.

Gu Nianzhi looked at Sima Yao's serious expression, and a trace of doubt surged in her heart. She didn't understand why Sima Yao suddenly asked this question so persistently.

"Your Highness, I am sure. General Shu is indeed out on patrol every night and has never returned to the camp."

There was a hint of firmness in Gu Nianzhi's voice, and her eyes were clear and bright, without the slightest hint of evasion.

Before Sima Yao could figure out the illogicality, lights appeared in front of them, and the two of them were unknowingly not far from the tent.

"Brother Yao, we're here."

With a hint of anxiety on his face, Gu Nianzhi quickly got off the horse.

Turning around and looking at Sima Yao who was still riding on his horse, she said seriously, "We are too close. If the soldiers in the army see us, there might be rumors. We should be a little more careful."

Sima Yao sat quietly on the horse and did not speak immediately.

His eyes were deep and complex, as if he was thinking about something.

Of course he knew that although homosexuality existed in the military camp, it could never be publicized. Once discovered, the person would be punished according to military law.

As a distinguished prince, perhaps no one would dare to use military law against him easily. However, if someone held on to this matter, the one who would be hurt would definitely be Gu Nianzhi.

He absolutely didn't want to see Gu Nianzhi get into trouble because of him.

Sima Yao let Gu Nianzhi lead the horse, while he sat upright on the horse's back and did not get off for a long time.

The moonlight shone on him, outlining his tall figure, and his eyes revealed a barely perceptible hint of helplessness.

After a while, he slowly said, "From now on, you and I really can't be too close in front of everyone."

“I understand, Your Majesty.” Gu Nianzhi’s call of “Your Majesty” caused Sima Yao to feel a surge of complicated emotions.

This name was like an invisible barrier, instantly cutting off the tenderness that had just sprouted between them.

He knew more clearly that they had truly returned to a world full of secular views and rules. The relationship between the two could no longer be as free as it was today on the top of the mountain.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I know my limits." Sima Yao felt a pang of pain in his heart as he looked at Gu Nianzhi's forced smile. He wished he could hug Gu Nianzhi tightly in his arms and tell him his true feelings, but he couldn't.

He opened his mouth and was about to say a few words to comfort Gu Nianzhi, but at this moment, the soldiers in front discovered the two of them.

"Who trespasses into the military camp?" With a loud shout, several soldiers quickly stepped forward and surrounded the two men in an instant.

Their faces were stern, their weapons were tightly grasped in their hands, and their eyes were full of vigilance.

After seeing that it was the prince's mount and that the person leading the horse was Mr. Gu, a popular figure beside the prince, they were stunned for a moment, then quickly knelt down and shouted in unison: "Greetings, Your Majesty."

"Please stand up. You all have worked hard." Sima Yao waved his hand and said calmly.

Gu Nianzhi stood aside, a faint smile on his face, and nodded to the soldiers.

Then, the two entered the camp. After walking a few steps, a soldier came running over. Because he ran too fast, he was slightly out of breath when he approached: "Your Majesty, General Lin has returned to the camp and is looking for you. He said he wants to discuss something important."

Sima Yao frowned slightly, thought for a moment and then said, "Let him come to my tent."

However, just as Sima Yao finished speaking, he heard Gu Nianzhi's stomach growl.

His heart softened immediately, thinking that Gu Nianzhi must be hungry, so he immediately changed his words and said, "Let him go to General Shu's tent. Also, send someone to send some food to my tent."

Sima Yao dismounted and handed the reins to the soldier beside him. Then he turned to look at Gu Nianzhi, his eyes full of concern: "Nianzhi, follow me to the tent first."

Gu Nianzhi nodded, and the two walked side by side towards Sima Yao's tent.

"Stay here and have a good meal. I'll be back soon."

Sima Yao looked at Gu Nianzhi gently, his eyes full of concern.

Gu Nianzhi quickly responded, "Don't you want me to come along? I can give you some advice if you need any help."

Gu Nianzhi wanted to help and didn't want to just wait here. She hoped to face various things with Sima Yao.

Sima Yao shook his head gently, reached out and touched Gu Nianzhi's head, and said, "You are tired today. Now that the situation is settled, there is nothing for you to worry about. Just wait for me to come back."

His tone was firm yet gentle, as if everything was under his control.

After saying this, Sima Yao turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait a moment."

Sima Yao turned around and his eyes fell on Gu Nianzhi, whose face was flushed. He raised his eyebrows slightly, with a faint smile on his lips, and said jokingly: "Why? Can't bear to leave me?"

Gu Nianzhi's face suddenly turned even redder, like a ripe apple.

She bit her lip, her mind full of thoughts. She thought, since she was going to be in the same room with Sima Yao tonight, and her secret of being a woman dressed as a man could easily be discovered during such an intimate interaction, it would be better for her to tell him in advance so that he could be mentally prepared.

"I have a secret. I'll tell you when you come back."
