Chu Qianli had no idea that her unconscious action would be so misinterpreted.
She had finished reading the page in the military treatise, and her little finger had inadvertently extended.
It also happened to flip to the next page.
Feng Yexuan's brow furrowed deeply.
Whether it was by accident or deliberate, he did not know.
He only knew that she was lying on his lap like this.
From his angle looking down, her slightly open neckline revealed a expanse of snow-white skin.
The curve was indescribably beautiful.
Feng Yexuan's breathing became erratic, and soon, it was a complete mess!
Did Chu Qianli know?
She was not interested in many things, but military strategy was definitely one of them.
He quickly discovered this as well.
This woman disliked everything that girls typically liked.
Why was she interested in military treatises, which were usually of interest only to men?
"It seems I've underestimated Prince Qi's combat capabilities."
As she read further, a excited smile appeared in Chu Qianli's eyes!
"He is exactly as I thought!"
So, the initial formation was meant to confuse the enemy!
There were no foreshadowing clues in this book, which had led her to misinterpret it at first.
Feng Yexuan stared at her slightly flushed face.
Her shoulder blade was not injured today, so the woman's complexion had finally improved a little.
But his gaze was more focused on the area beneath her neckline.
"If you were Prince Xuan, how would you respond at this moment?"
These words immediately plunged Chu Qianli into thought.
Feng Yexuan felt like laughing. This foolish woman! She had been seen so intimately, yet she was still completely unaware!
He deliberately moved the military treatise closer to his side.
It was now a little further from her fingertips.
Chu Qianli did not notice anything amiss. She soon realized that if she wanted to flip to the next page, her fingers could not reach.
She instinctively leaned forward again.
"If I were Prince Xuan, I would have someone impersonate me, lead a troop, and strike directly at the heart of the enemy."
"However, I would personally remain at the main camp, waiting for the unsuspecting Prince Qi to come and launch a surprise attack. At that time, my vanguard and I could trap Prince Qi in the valley, attacking from both sides!"
Her finger hooked, and the page was turned.
Upon seeing the description on the next page, Chu Qianli's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but exclaim.
"Prince Xuan's plan is indeed as I thought!"
What kind of divine military treatise was this?
The strategies were layered, filled with deceit and trickery, and the designs never ceased!
"Then, if you were Prince Qi, trapped in the valley with the enemy about to capture you like a turtle in a jar, what would you do?"
Feng Yexuan narrowed his eyes, his sharp, icy gaze tracing her back all the way down.
This damned woman!
Seeing her well-defined buttocks, even though she was lying down, his large palm almost couldn't resist reaching out.
It was deliberate!
She must be doing it on purpose!
Didn't she know that this posture would make a man's mind wander!
Feng Yexuan's breathing was extremely disordered. In fact, his hand had already landed on her back and was slowly moving downwards.
Chu Qianli fell into deep thought.
If she were Prince Qi, trapped in the valley, how could she escape?
"I've got it!"
She immediately reached out to flip the military treatise, eager to see if Prince Qi's subsequent combat strategy was the same as she had imagined!
But why had the military treatise moved further away? She couldn't reach it anymore!
Her fingers seemed to be getting shorter and shorter; she didn't know why.
Chu Qianli didn't think much of it and leaned forward again, reaching to flip the page of the military treatise.
The next page contained Prince Qi's combat plan!
"It's just as I thought!" she exclaimed excitedly, wanting to turn and look at Feng Yexuan: "Prince Qi's plan, it's like my... Ah! Feng Yexuan! What are you doing?"
She couldn't turn her head because his palm was pressing down on her.
His scorching hot palm held her firmly, rendering her completely unable to move!
The most terrifying thing was that his presumptuous fingers were actually moving further down...
"You scoundrel! Let go of me!"
She was studying military strategy, and this scoundrel was taking liberties with her while she wasn't paying attention!
"Let go! You... you're going too far!"
But she couldn't break free from his restraint.
That large palm was pressing on her, and she couldn't get up at all. She could only maintain her original posture, still lying on his lap.
This posture... was too ambiguous!
"Let go quickly!" It wasn't that she was too weak, but that his strength was truly immense!
His hand was merely pressing on her, and you could clearly feel that he wasn't even using much force.
Yet, you were completely unable to move beneath his palm!
Absolutely no escape!
"You deliberately lay on this Prince's lap and struck such a pose, wasn't it just to make this Prince do something to you?"
What man could resist such a posture?
If he hadn't had enough self-control, he would have already torn her clothes off by now!
Of course, he had long been eager to do so.
"I didn't do it deliberately!" Chu Qianli was furious! When had she deliberately struck any pose?
"Is that so?" Feng Yexuan sneered, staring at her soft, small body beneath his palm: "Was it this Prince who threw you onto his lap?"
Chu Qianli froze. The previous scene immediately flashed back into her mind.
She... had reached out to turn the military treatise.
But, for some reason, the military treatise kept moving further away from her.
She had also leaned forward continuously to reach it.
Thinking about it, it seemed she had indeed ended up lying on his lap.
But...
"No, you did it deliberately!" It must have been him deliberately making it so she couldn't reach the military treatise!
"What did I do deliberately? Deliberately let you present yourself to me?"
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Chu Qianli's face instantly turned crimson!
How could things have escalated like this in broad daylight?
The study door was even lying on the ground. Anyone passing by outside could see their posture at any moment!
As if on cue, someone from outside indeed arrived!
Chu Huaiyu, supported by Xiao Ya, entered with small, hurried steps.
"Your Highness, Huaiyu pays her respects to Your Highness."
Upon hearing that Feng Yexuan had injured Yu Linglong, she had rushed over immediately.
Chu Huaiyu herself had not expected that she was so important in the Prince's heart!
The Prince had even struck Yu Linglong for her!
One must know that Yu Linglong was the Empress Dowager's most favored attendant.
But she had never expected that upon entering, she would see a girl lying on the Prince's lap.
And the Prince's hand was still... still pressed in that spot...
Chu Huaiyu's face instantly turned crimson.
This... this in broad daylight, without even closing the door, in full view of everyone...
"Your... Your Highness... Xiao Qi... no, Fifth Sister? Why... why is it you?"
The girl lying on Feng Yexuan's lap was actually Chu Qianli!
Chu Huaiyu felt her vision go black, and her body went limp, almost fainting.
It was too much of a shock.
Ya'er immediately went to support her: "Miss, you haven't fully recovered from your illness, you can't be too upset!"
After saying that, she cast a resentful glance at Chu Qianli, who had finally managed to get up from Feng Yexuan's lap...
