Refusing to Serve Me? Then Off With Your Head!

Chapter 25 The Best Way to Warm Up

The coldness of the Great Qi was out of my expectation.

I had no idea if it was my body that was off, or my head that was off—– I believed it was the latter. When I entered the land of Qi, I really wished I was an animal that had long fur so it could protect me from the cold.

Unfortunately my wish was too weird for the gods to accept, so in the end, I could only endure this ice cellar that was the Great Qi.

As for Crown Prince Feng Zhao Wen; perhaps he was a beast by nature, even though he didn't have the thick fur of a beast, walking around the snow-covered ground while wearing a big cloak make him appear so handsome and casual. He didn't even shiver from the cold. How amazing.

I truly didn't understand how it was possible, so when he didn't notice, I would secretly touch his hands, like when I was handing him a cup of tea. His fingers felt warm in contrast to my cold one. I was secretly disappointed—— We ate the same thing, drank the same water, wore the same clothes yet why were we so different?

Feng Zhao Wen froze a little; lifting his head that was buried inside a document to look at me. After that, he returned to reading the document. Two hours later, when Tian Bing Qing came to clean up the documents he had read, he gave him an instruction, "Bring a hand stove over."

Tian Bing Qing stood near the entrance of the carriage with a bitter expression, shrinking his neck and not moving.

I looked at the snowland outside. The Crown Prince's entourage had to brave the snow and the cold for the journey; his request was making other people's lives even more difficult. I quickly expressed how hot I felt and how I didn't need any hand stove.

Feng Zhao Wen lifted his head to glance at me, before lowering it to resume his business again.

Tian Bing Qing gave me a grateful look before collecting the documents Feng Zhao Wen had read.

On the second day, I began to regret my reckless decision.

It was truly embarrassing.

On our journey back to the Great Qi, I shared a carriage with Feng Zhao Wen. That was nothing. I had shared his bed and tent for half a year without any incident. But that morning, I woke up and was greeted by a patch of naked skin.

My body was nestled against a broad chest, giving me warmth that I had not felt for days. I slept soundly the previous night, I didn't have any nightmare. Honestly, I would rather face the nightmare in my dreams than to face this scary situation after waking up.

I quietly raised my face that was tucked against his chest, weeping tearless cry as I looked at the drool stain that I left pooling on top of his jade-like skin. I secretly looked up and was greeted by a pair of crystal-like phoenix eyes. Maybe it was because he just woke up from his sleep, Feng Zhao Wen's voice sounded particularly magnetic. "Awake?"

I was scared witless. I could feel my heart racing inside my chest as I replied him hastily, "Not yet! I must be having a nightmare!" Facing Feng Zhao Wen's murderous face, I buried myself inside the quilt and refused to come out.

Feng Zhao Wen didn't really say anything. He flipped open the quilt and called for Tian Bing Qing to wash it.

I stole a look at Feng Zhao Wen's oppressive presence inside the carriage. I gradually found it hard to breathe. "Your Highness, why don't I sleep in Tian Bing Qing's carriage tonight?"

Tian Bing Qing who had been waiting after Feng Zhao Wen, kept looking back at me to send me looks. When he heard what I said, he immediately rejected my suggestion, "The carriage I am in is already full........ Yes, full.........." After he said that, he jumped off the carriage and ran off.
