Chapter 56 (First published on Jinjiang) 056 (2nd update) Let's talk...

Inside Lady Qiu's tent.

Hurile held the person in his arms, his eyes filled with worry.

"A-Wan, why didn't you say you were sick for two days?"

Madam Qiu, her eyes closed and face pale, said, "I'm fine, just a cold."

Hurile stroked her face: "You don't need to worry about Chaolu's situation. My son will never give anyone another chance to make a move. I have already ordered three hundred more elite soldiers to be sent to Lingzhou. He is working for me. If anyone dares to touch him now, I will not let them off easily!"

Suddenly, Madam Qiu hugged the Khan's waist, saying, "Thank you, Khan..."

Hurile was taken aback, his expression softening completely, and he couldn't help but hug the person in his arms tighter: "Awan..."

As if he had longed for this tenderness for a long time, the man seemed a little flattered, his eyes brimming with emotion...

"The grasslands have been quite turbulent lately. Once I've cleared away all the obstacles, how about I take you back to Jiangnan?"

Madam Qiu clenched her fists.

"real?"

Khuril chuckled: "Of course, I'm getting old too. Chaolu is married now and can stand on his own. In my old age, I don't have many ambitions anymore, so I'll go back to your hometown to take a look..."

Buried in Hurile's chest, Lady Qiu suddenly smiled bitterly.

Great Khan, don't you think this promise comes a little too late?

But now, she no longer cares about any of that.

And without realizing it, I became the very thing I hated most.

...

Kar tribe.

After receiving the letter, Una looked dejected. She sat in front of the mirror, her long hair disheveled and her face haggard.

At that moment, Yimin walked in: "Una, I heard your mother-in-law sent a letter."

Una looked up and said, "Mom..."

"What did the letter say?"

Una: "See for yourself."

Yimin took it, glanced at it, and a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes: "Qiqige is pregnant?"

"Um……"

Yimin's expression also became complicated: "She and Bayar have only been married for a little over two years?"

"More or less."

Emin grew anxious and stepped forward to grasp her daughter's hand: "Una, but you and Damu have been married for almost four years, and your belly..."

Una's expression changed: "Mother, I don't want to either."

Yimin: "You and Damu weren't using contraception, were you? Is your sex life still normal?!"

Una hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's normal..."

Although she and Damu were not particularly intimate, they were always a couple who respected each other very much, and Damu did not have any other women.

"That won't do. Mother actually wanted to say last time that I need to get a doctor to take a look at you," Yimin said anxiously.

Una: "...Mother, can we not talk about this now? I'm not in the mood." "What nonsense are you talking about? Are you still sad because of your uncle's matter? My silly Una, there are so many things more important than this right now! Didn't you hear what your mother-in-law said? Your father is very happy and wants Bayar to go to Aohan. This matter should have been handled by Damu!"

Yimin was very anxious at this moment. She did not expect that Gesang to be so troublesome. Taren's rise to power was a sure thing, but he messed it up. Now the leader has not been decided yet, which has prevented her daughter and son-in-law from returning to Chaha.

Una pursed her lips, not responding. She was indeed immersed in the grief of her uncle's death, and she didn't understand why everyone was so indifferent to it.

Not to mention my parents, even my cousins ​​were only thinking about who would inherit the leadership; not a single one of them was saddened by my uncle's death...

Not a single person...

But she was truly saddened for her uncle. She had grown up by his side since childhood, and it could be said that her relationship with her uncle was sometimes even deeper than that with her father...

But Una couldn't tell anyone this.

Yimin was only concerned about her grandson, so she immediately arranged for someone to fetch a doctor, and said that if Una couldn't find a problem, she would also try to have Damu examined...

Una listened, feeling only irritated...

-

Ruan Yu has been in Lingzhou for four days and has not left the residence.

This morning, Xuan Niang received news: "Madam! I just heard that the Sixth Young Master has contacted that witch doctor and will arrive tomorrow!"

Ruan Yu was overjoyed: "Really?"

"Yes! It's a message just sent by the Sixth Young Master!"

Ruan Yu immediately instructed Qing Guo: "Prepare a room in the upper wing and invite the witch doctor to stay there. Make sure to observe proper etiquette."

"Yes, this servant will go and prepare it right away."

Just as Ruan Yu made the arrangements, Afu sent another message: "Madam, Lord Yang has woken up!"

Ruan Yu was both surprised and delighted, and immediately stood up.

When she arrived at Yang Chong's courtyard, Chao Lu also rushed over.

"My husband."

Chaolu walked to her side and took her hand in one go: "I've heard about it, let's see what the herdsman has to say."

Li Yin took Yang's pulse inside, and when he came out, he was both surprised and delighted: "It's amazing, truly amazing! Guard Yang is much better! It seems the poison has been neutralized!"

Everyone was overjoyed: "You are truly a miracle doctor!"

Although Riin was happy, he was also a little puzzled: "But...but I only used some common antidotes. To be honest, I don't even know which medicine worked...This is really strange..."

Chao Lu: "Who cares? As long as it works, that's fine. You've worked hard!"

Chao Lu reached out and patted him on the shoulder. Li Yin chuckled and said, "Although the poison has been neutralized, there are still some symptoms on the skin. I'll grind some ointment and give it to Guard Yang."

"Okay, go ahead."

Hasturing and the others were delighted to hear this and rushed over.

"That kid Yang Chong, he survived a great calamity and is sure to have good fortune in the future!" Although Has was sharp-tongued, his eyes were also red.

We're all brothers who've been through thick and thin together; everyone sees through it but keeps quiet.

Turing: "Fourth Brother, good news! Father Khan has sent three hundred elite soldiers to reinforce our forces."

Chao Lu: "I've heard about this too. Go and make arrangements for these people."

"yes."

Charles arrived upon hearing the news. "Is Guard Yang alright?"

Chao Lu: "It seems everything's alright. Why did you come back so early today, Third Brother?"

For the past few days, it has been Charles who has been negotiating with the people from the Central Plains.

Charles smiled slightly: "I have good news and bad news. Which would you like to hear first?"

Chao Lu was taken aback and frowned: "Bad news."

Charles: "It's not exactly bad news, but we've caused quite a stir here. It seems that Pei Du already knows about it and says he wants to come and see for himself, probably to find out what's going on."

Chao Lu was taken aback: "No, don't let him come!"

Ruan Yu: "..."

Charles smiled and said, "It's too late. I've already agreed. Fourth brother, Pei Du is an official from Chang'an. Don't be fooled by how much the prefect talks to us. He's the one who makes the decisions behind the scenes. With such a big thing happening here recently, we can't hide it from him. It's good to have him come and see for himself. It will put his mind at ease and we can entertain him at the mansion. That way, things can proceed more quickly."

Chao Lu was agitated and his brows furrowed deeply.

Ruan Yu: "Third Brother is right. Let's host a banquet to entertain them."

Chao Lu: "..."

"Third Brother, what's the good news?" Turing asked.

Charles: "The good news is that they said they want to personally discuss the establishment of the border trade supervisory authority with the Fourth Prince, who proposed the plan."

Chao Lu: "…………"

Talk, talk? What a load of rubbish!

...

Chao Lu stormed back to his room, followed by Ruan Yu, who closed the door behind him.

Why are you so angry?

Chao Lu turned to look at her, pursed his lips, and said, "I hate that person."

Ruan Yu sighed helplessly: "It's not because of me?"

Chao Lu fell silent.

"That's tacit agreement. Don't you believe me?"

Chao Lu quickly leaned closer: "No...of course I believe you...but..."

The memory of his conversation with this person still makes him very angry.

Ruan Yu could guess a little bit, but since Chao Lu hadn't told her what they had talked about that day, she wouldn't ask rashly.

Ruan Yu thought for a moment and sat down on the edge of the couch: "If I remember correctly, Pei Du received great praise from the emperor for his essay on business during the imperial examination that year, and he immediately became the second-place scholar. It is evident that he has more foresight and insights into how to get rich through business. Your Highness can benefit greatly from talking with him."

Chao Lu's face instantly darkened: "You admire him that much?"

Ruan Yu looked back into his eyes: "I'm just stating the facts."

Chao Lu snorted, walked over, and sat down next to her.

“Recently, it’s been Third Brother and them discussing this. I just mentioned an idea, but he insisted on talking to me. His real intention is not what it seems.”

Ruan Yu: "...My husband can say this now, he has made great progress."

Chao Lu looked at her with an even more complicated expression.

Ruan Yu chuckled and stopped teasing him.

"Alright, just treat this as important business. Only discuss important matters with him. Why worry so much about other things? Didn't you promise me before you left that I'd meet him if you asked me to come along? If you really mind, then don't ask me to come..."

She reached out and wrapped her arms around Chaolu's neck, trying to ignore the smell of jealousy emanating from him, and this tactic was indeed effective.

Chao Lu's expression softened, and he relaxed completely. He reached out and hugged Ruan Yu, letting her sit on his lap.

"You are not allowed to show your face."

He suddenly hummed.

Ruan Yu was taken aback: "Of course. What would I do if you men were discussing things? At most, I would just arrange tea, snacks, and meals."

Chao Lu hummed twice more and leaned in to kiss her.

“Let’s talk. It’s not that I’m afraid of him. He may be very knowledgeable, but he may not understand the actual situation on the grassland.”

That makes sense, and...

Ruan Yu suddenly smiled.

Chao Lu: "And what?"

Ruan Yu leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Your Highness once conquered the grasslands and subdued snow wolves and gyrfalcons... In terms of martial prowess and military skills, he is certainly not as good as you. You each have your own strengths, so why should Your Highness belittle yourself..."

Her voice was incredibly beautiful, and her words were as sweet as honey.

Chao Lu felt half of his body go numb, and his heart felt as if he had drunk a jar of honey.

His eyes grew increasingly deep, and suddenly, he reached out and pulled Ruan Yu into his arms, leaning in to kiss her lips!

"Let me taste it to see if it really has been coated with honey."

Ruan Yu: "..."

Chaolu's learning ability is indeed very strong. Now she clearly knows where to explore first to make her soften up faster.

Ruan Yu's breathing quickened, and the man's low laughter slowly exploded in her ears—

“What Yu Yu said is very true. My writing skills are not as good as his, but I have ways to please Yu Yu…”

After saying that, he moved his lean waist.

Ruan Yu: "..."
