The wind is howling outside the window.

The rain suddenly got heavier, and the big raindrops hit the eaves and window sills. The study was very quiet, Ji Zhen tilted his head and looked carefully at the expression on Ye Feng's face.

He always had a blank expression on his face, as if nothing in this world had anything to do with him.

"Who are you jealous of?" Ji Zhen raised an eyebrow.

Ye Feng did not answer. He held a strand of Ji Zhen's hair in his palm, lowered his eyes and looked at her for a long time, then suddenly asked:

"When will His Highness return to the northwest?"

Ji Zhen sat up straight and made eye contact with Ye Feng.

Like all qualified secret guards and attendants, Ye Feng's eyes were always calm and he rarely showed his emotions.

He has looked like this since Ji Zhen picked him up three years ago, and has never changed in the past three years.

Perhaps, this is Ye Feng's shell to protect himself. Or perhaps, he was born like this. Ji Zhen had no intention of finding out the truth. She kept a proper distance between herself and Ye Feng, and only asked him to be loyal to her.

"You don't like it here?" Ji Zhen's eyes searched Ye Feng's face, observing his expression.

"I don't like it." Ye Feng replied, "There are too many people."

"Oh, do you think there are too many people in the capital, or do you think I have too many male favorites?"

Ji Zhen laughed, half jokingly, with a hint of self-mockery. The dark eyes of Night Breeze trembled, and he squeezed the hair in his hand tightly. After a long while, he let go, stood up, knelt on one knee in front of Ji Zhen, bowed his head and said:

"Your Highness, I dare not interfere in the inner court. I have overstepped my bounds, and I ask Your Highness to punish me."

Uh...Ji Zhen couldn't laugh anymore.

As the Princess of Qingyan County, many people have always begged her for mercy, and the person in front of him is the first one who asked her to forgive him.

She was just joking in response to the male favorites in the yard today, so why did Ye Feng get angry?

That’s right, although Ye Feng’s face was calm and nothing could be seen, Ji Zhen could clearly see that her follower, who had never had any emotions for thousands of years, was angry.

I just don't know what he's angry about. I want to ask, but seeing him kneeling on one knee, I'm afraid I'll just add fuel to the fire. So I stand up and speak hesitantly:

"Excuse me..."

Before he could even utter the word "not guilty", Ye Feng interrupted him:

"Your Highness, please forgive me." The calm voice became a little colder and harder.

This guy...he even dared to interrupt her. It seemed that he was very angry.

But what happened? When I separated from him outside the city yesterday, he was apparently fine.

Ji Zhen stared at Ye Feng's drooping face for a long time, but couldn't figure out what was going on. He sighed and squatted down in front of Ye Feng in a very ungraceful manner. He tilted his head and asked directly:

"Angry?"

Ye Feng froze, lowered his head even lower, and said:

"My subordinates dare not."

"Hmph, I think you're very brave." Ji Zhen raised her eyebrows. She knew her follower too well.

In the northwest, she saved his life, and he vowed to be her shield and sword, to protect her. He was almost inseparable from her. During the march, she slept in the tent, and he kept watch outside the tent. No matter when and where, Ye Feng would always stay within ten feet of Ji Zhen.

He is taciturn but meticulous, remembering every one of Ji Zhen's preferences. And Ji Zhen is also aware of the turbulent emotions beneath his seemingly calm face.

But Ji Zhen had never tried to figure out the reasons behind the turmoil.

After all, as Ji Zhen said, everyone has some privacy. Ye Feng being her follower doesn't mean he is willing to strip himself naked for her to see.

So this directly led to the fact that now she saw Ye Feng was in a bad mood and she didn't know how to comfort him.

Ji Zhen scratched her head in embarrassment. Her half-wet clothes stuck to her body. She squatted on the ground, and the moisture from the wet clothes went straight into her body, which made her very uncomfortable. So she stood up, paced left and right, and then gave up thinking.

"Ye Feng, look up." Ji Zhen changed her previous soft and tentative voice, and her clear and beautiful voice was filled with a sharp and decisive tone.

Every word Ji Zhen said hit Ye Feng's trembling heart. He couldn't help but look up and look into Ji Zhen's pure eyes.

"Your Highness..." Night Breeze murmured.

"You have to remember what I say now, understand?"

Ji Zhen spoke very seriously, and Ye Feng could not help but straighten his spine, extinguish the faintly entangled emotions in his heart, and look at her seriously. Ji Zhen looked at Ye Feng's serious expression, very satisfied, and continued seriously:

"I'm not good at coaxing people, so even if I know you're in a bad mood and angry with me, I don't know how to coax you. But remember, I'm not completely unaware of your feelings now, it's just that I'm willing but unable to. Just think of it as me coaxing you, and don't be angry, okay? Or, you can tell me why you're angry and what I can do to calm you down, that's fine too."

Ye Feng was stunned. Seeing Ji Zhen so serious, he thought there was something important for him to do, but he didn't expect that she just wanted to coax him.

But, is there any woman in this world who coaxes a man like this?

"Go ahead and tell me. If you choose not to tell me now, you are not allowed to be angry anymore. Just take a nice hot bath. Do you understand?"

Ji Zhen looked at Ye Feng's surprised face, knowing that he had taken her words to heart, and waited patiently for Ye Feng's answer.

At this time, the door of the study was knocked three times, and Wen Daoxing's voice sounded outside the door:

"Your Highness, I heard that you caught a cold in the rain, so I asked a doctor to check your pulse."

"come in."

Ji Zhen signaled Ye Feng to get up and sat back at the head of the room.

Wen Daoxing pushed the door open and walked in, followed by four servants holding Ji Zhen and Ye Feng's clean clothes, and a doctor.

Wen Daoxing walked in and bowed respectfully to Ji Zhen. His sharp eyes swept over Ye Feng who was standing beside Ji Zhen. The half-damp robe and the slightly wrinkled collar did not escape his eyes. He frowned slightly, glanced at Ji Zhen, took the clothes from the servant, and said:

"Your Highness, please change your wet clothes first."

"Ah."

Ji Zhen nodded. She really hated the feeling of having damp clothes stick to her body. So she stood up and planned to go to the quiet room in the study to change her clothes.

When he turned around, he saw his clothes half wet by the night wind, so he instructed him:

"Go to the bathroom and take a hot bath first, then change into clean clothes. Remember, use an extra bucket of hot water and soak slowly. Don't come out until all ten of your fingers are wrinkled."

After saying that, he turned around and pointed at the attendant holding Ye Feng's clothes, and instructed:

"You go with him and supervise him."

"Your Highness..."

Ye Feng's ears turned red, which was rare. He looked at Ji Zhen in disbelief. He couldn't believe that she actually arranged for someone to supervise her bathing! Did she think he was a three-year-old child?

Ji Zhen glanced at Ye Feng who was having a hard time speaking, and decided to take a step back out of mercy, so he said to the attendant:

"Yefeng is shy, you can just stand guard outside the bathroom door. Don't let him out until your fingers are wrinkled."

Ye Feng's ears were completely red, but he didn't say anything. He took a quick step with his long legs and walked out.

He really couldn't guess what outrageous words Ji Zhen would say next, so he didn't dare to stay any longer.

Wen Daoxing saw everything, followed Ji Zhen who walked into the quiet room with a big laugh, presented her with the clothes, looked at her deeply, and said:

"Your Highness is really considerate and thoughtful to the Night Guards."
