Hu Feng looked at Bai Zhi. When he looked at her, he saw her beautiful eyes filled with thousand stars, shining and radiating with wisdom.
Under the moonlight, her fair white skin seemed to be dyed with a thin layer of jade, making it looked moisturized and smooth. Her tall nose, cherry red like lips, and jade-like cheeks, were faintly glowing red.
Hu Feng bowed his head and imprinted a kiss on her pink cheeks, then he touched her gently. At that moment, he felt like he had been struck by lightning, and his whole body became numb.
Bai Zhi's hot face became hotter and hotter. She stretched out her arms and pushed him. Unexpectedly, she forgot that they were in a high place. Her feet were still hanging in the air, but her body fell over in the trunk.
However, this time, she didn't get scared, at least not the same as when she fell on the red fruit tree.
Because he was by her side, she knows that she will be alright. She was sure that he will save her.
Hu Feng jumped down from the trunk and held her arm with one hand, then twisted his heels on the air. Bai Zhi became dizzy. Even after landing on the ground, she felt like her surrounding was turning upside down.
Hu Feng's warm lips touched her ear, and his low and ambiguous voice sounded: "You must have done it on purpose. How does it feel for the hero to save the beauty?"
Bai Zhi punched his chest with her little fist and shouted: "It's you who've done it on purpose. If you didn't… … how can I fall?"
"What if I don't? I can't understand you-" A smug smile appeared on his handsome face that seemed to be can scratch people's heart.
Bai Zhi was so annoyed with the man in front of her. She has always been calm, she doesn't easily get panic. She can handle everything with ease.
But when she was with this guy, she always suffered a loss and she been taken advantage of by him.
The most annoying thing was that she doesn't feel angry at all… …
"Well, seriously." Her heart was throbbing, even if her heart shouldn't be throbbing now.
Hu Feng shrugged his shoulders: "I have always been serious, aren't you?"
Bai Zhi was speechless. She looked at him in the eyes, and instead of refuting him, she directly said: "Today, I met Marshal Wang, he is old, his body is in a bad condition, but he traveled a thousand miles and come in here, why do you think he did?"
The smile on Hu Feng's face was reduced by three points. And his eyes showed a trace of guilt: "Naturally, it was for me. If it's not because of me, he can stay in the capital for the rest of his life and enjoy life with his children and grandchildren. Why would he come here again?" He was not the only marshal in the imperial court, but he came. His purpose was obvious enough, right?
Bai Zhi nodded her head: "You guessed it right, but you must not know that there is a doctor beside Marshal Wang. This doctor stayed with Marshal Wang so he didn't think of looking for another doctor. People said that he was a good doctor, but who would have thought that he was a poison doctor."
Hu Feng's face drastically changed, then asked quickly: "Tell me, what is going on?"
Bai Zhi narrated everything that happened in the marshal's tent today. Hu Feng, who listened to it, was so angry that he punched the tree trunk with all his energy.
Bai Zhi sighed, then stretched out her hand to hold his wrist and pulled his hand from the trunk. She said softly, "You must have guessed who is behind the scenes, right?"
Hu Feng nodded his head: "Who else but him? Over the years, he has been targeting me everywhere, trying to push me out. I live far in the northwest, while he lives in the capital, but he accused me over and over again in front of imperial father with false charges. I never cared about him. I never cared about the throne."
