Yu Guiwan tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. She had originally planned to rest early so that she could prepare to leave early tomorrow morning, but she just couldn't fall asleep. She was worried about her mother and Xie Sui.

Yu Guiwan simply got up from the bed, picked up her clothes and put them on herself, then quietly walked out of her room and went next door.

She quietly opened the door of Xie Sui's room. Xie Sui, who was also awake in bed, heard the noise and looked towards the door. In the darkness, he could only see a blurry figure slowly walking towards him.

Seeing someone approaching the bed, Xie Sui immediately closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Yu Guiwan walked to the bed, squatted beside it, propped up his head and admired Xie Sui's sleeping face. No matter how much he looked at Xie Sui's face, he could not get enough of it. He was indeed the most handsome man in the capital.

She bravely stretched out her hand and traced Xie Sui's outline bit by bit.

The warmth of her fingertips was transmitted to Xie Sui, as if tickling his heart, causing his eyelashes to tremble slightly. Yu Guiwan didn't notice the movement at all. She just felt her legs were numb from squatting, and she was about to pinch them.

The warm feeling suddenly disappeared, Xie Sui suddenly opened his eyes, met Yu Guiwan's eyes, and subconsciously reached out to grab her hand.

"Don't leave."

He shouted softly.

Yu Guiwan widened her eyes and immediately understood, "You didn't sleep?!" Her tone was slightly surprised, and Yu Guiwan immediately remembered what she had done to Xie Sui just now.

Not only did he stare at him for a long time, he also took action!

Thinking of this, Yu Guiwan's face turned red.

Xie Sui coughed lightly to hide his thoughts and let go of Yu Guiwan's hand.

As soon as he let go of her hand, Yu Guiwan wanted to stand up. The numbness in her legs made her look a little painful. She stood up despite the numbness and said to Xie Sui, "I'm going back to rest."

"What's wrong with your leg?" Xie Sui noticed that something was wrong with Yu Guiwan and was about to get out of bed immediately.

Yu Guiwan quickly stretched out his hand to stop him, "It's nothing, my legs are just a little numb." Yu Guiwan felt a little embarrassed when he said this.

"Then I'll give you a squeeze."

Xie Sui spoke subconsciously.

"Cough cough cough..."

Yu Guiwan's face turned even redder, and she started coughing out of fear. She hurriedly said, "No, no, it's not numb anymore." After standing for a while, she felt that her legs were almost healed.

As she said this, Yu Guiwan was about to leave, but after taking two steps, she stopped again.

No, why is she shy?

Now that the truth has been revealed and they are a married couple, why should she be shy?

Thinking of this, Yu Guiwan turned around. Xie Sui had already gotten out of bed and was about to catch up. When she stopped, Xie Sui also stopped. She looked at Xie Sui and asked, "Can I sleep here tonight?"

Xie Sui's expression shifted from disbelief to shock. "I'll have someone bring another quilt over right away."

"No need." As he said that, Yu Guiwan had already reached the bed.

"Aren't you coming over yet?" Yu Guiwan urged Xie Sui when he saw him standing there in a daze.

……

After a while.

The two of them slept on the same pillow. It was quiet all around them. They were so close that they could only hear each other's breathing and heartbeats. An ambiguous atmosphere spread.

The moment Xie Sui lay down beside her, Yu Guiwan regretted it. It seemed that she could not sleep even more in such an atmosphere.

It was inevitable that two people would have physical contact when covering themselves with the same quilt. Their fingertips touched each other, and Yu Guiwan quickly moved away, but the next second she was enveloped by a cold touch.

His hands were still very cold, so it seemed he had to think of another way.

Yu Guiwan closed her eyes as if nothing had happened. Xie Sui saw that she did not avoid him, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

After a while, Yu Guiwan fell asleep without knowing why. Xie Sui, on the other hand, could not fall asleep at all. He carefully turned his body to look at Yu Guiwan, his eyes filled with tenderness, affection and reluctance. At this moment, he wished that time could stop at this moment.

*

The next day.

When Yu Guiwan got up, Xie Sui also got up. Yu Guiwan thought that it was the noise of her getting up that woke Xie Sui up, and couldn't help but ask, "Did I wake up His Highness?"

Xie Sui shook his head. Yu Guiwan had no idea that Xie Sui had not slept at all. He just kept lying sideways and looked at Yu Guiwan all night.

Xie Sui's stubborn voice echoed behind her again, "Don't call me Your Highness. I want to hear you call me by my name."

"Okay, Your Highness." Yu Guiwan wanted to tease him. Seeing Xie Sui's face darken, he chuckled twice and said, "Let's go have breakfast together."

With just these words, Xie Sui regained his composure and walked to the dining hall with Yu Guiwan.

When the two of them went to the dining hall, Yang Nian had already arrived. There was a dark circle under his eyes, which showed that he had been worried all night and had not slept.

Yu Guiwan didn't say anything. The three of them ate in unusual silence, and no one said a word.

As Yu Guiwan was about to leave, Yang muttered a lot, and Yu Guiwan wrote it all down. Because His Majesty had given her a team of soldiers, she would wait until they arrived before leaving together.

Suddenly, a figure came towards them on horseback.

"Xu~"

Pei Jin pulled the reins and stopped in front of the group, then dismounted swiftly. He looked as if he was about to go on a long journey. Yu Guiwan looked at him and asked, "Young Marquis Pei, are you going to the border too?"

Xie Sui, on the other hand, was not surprised at all. He seemed to have guessed that Pei Jin would also be going. He looked at Pei Jin and said, "Xingji, thank you for your help."

"Don't worry." Pei Jin naturally understood what Xie Sui meant. He and Xie Sui had been friends for many years, so he would definitely protect his wife and bring her back safely.

"The team has already arrived outside the capital and is waiting. Princess, are you ready to depart now?"

Yu Guiwan glanced at Yang Nian and Xie Sui, having already said her goodbyes. She immediately turned around and jumped on her horse, glancing at Pei Jin. "Let's go." Bei Li followed suit and got on his horse.

Only when their figures disappeared from sight did the two return to the palace together.

……

The three of them rode out of the city gate at full speed and arrived at the outskirts of the capital. At this moment, a group of people stood in front of them. At a rough glance, there were about a hundred people.

"Princess, don't underestimate the small number of people. These are all elites who have fought on the battlefield." Pei Jin explained, fearing that Yu Guiwan would think that the number of people given by His Majesty was too small.

Yu Guiwan nodded without giving it much thought. Instead, she felt that the fewer people there were, the better. This would make things easier. "Young Marquis Pei, please don't address me as Princess outside of the room."

Pei Jin paused, and was about to ask what to call her from now on?

He heard Yu Guiwan speak cautiously: "Just call me Beiyin. Like Beili, I am a guard of the young Marquis Pei." She had to conceal her identity when going to the border. Using a fake identity might save her a lot of unnecessary trouble.
