Li Yunyan looked up at him, her big eyes brimming with tears.
Fu Luo smiled slightly, "Alatan Tana came, and after she returned, they all encountered misfortunes. If you don't want me to know about these things, I will pretend I don't!"
Li Yunyan sighed and tacitly agreed, "Aqi, I just didn't want you to worry!"
"I know!"
He hugged her tighter. "I only hate that I'm not capable enough. You're pregnant, and you still have to worry about these things for me!"
"So, Princess, you don't need to worry about me when you want to do whatever you want! I've always been your armor, not your weakness!"
Li Yunyan's eyes welled up with tears. The fact that a king of a country could say such things to her moved her deeply.
She hugged his waist tightly, all the anxiety of the past few days turning into gratitude. "Aqi! Thank you!"
Fu Luo kissed her lips, "I only beg Your Highness, never to abandon me!"
"I won't! I won't abandon you!" Li Yunyan's voice choked, and tears welled up in her eyes again.
He gently wiped away her tears with the back of his hand, his voice hoarse and tender, tinged with amusement, "Princess, you've cried too soon!"
After saying that, he suddenly bent down again.
Overwhelmed with emotion, he couldn't help but call out her name.
"Yan Yan..."
"Yan Yan..."
Li Yunyan gently cooperated with him, responded to him, and hoped that he would give more.

Yuanxia Kingdom.
The capital city, the residence of the Marquis of Ningguo.
Su Ting'an sat in his study, holding the letter he had just received. A faint smile appeared on his lips, adding a touch of warmth to his usually aloof and cold face.
"My lord!" The servant Zhongxin knocked on the door from outside.
"Come in!"
His voice was gentle and clear, without a trace of joy or anger. He had already carefully put the letter away before Zhongxin came in.
Zhongxin only dared to push open the door after obtaining his permission. He took only two steps inside before bowing and saying, "My lord, General Meng requests an audience!"
Su Ting'an has now not only entered the cabinet and become the most trusted minister by His Majesty's side, but has also inherited the title of Marquis, upgrading from a junior Marquis to a full-fledged Marquis.
His father, now an old marquis, spends his days raising fish and playing with birds, and aside from urging him to get married soon, he doesn't care about anything else.
He nodded slightly. "Please invite General Meng in!"
"yes!"
Meng Qingye strode in from outside, entered the study, and closed the study door behind him.
Su Ting'an cupped his hands in greeting: "Brother Meng!"
Meng Qingye returned the greeting: "Brother Su!"
Meng Qingye sat down in the chair next to him as if he knew the place well, and asked anxiously, "Brother Su, today is the day the message comes from over there. Is there any new news about the princess?"
Upon hearing the word "princess," a hint of tenderness flickered in Su Ting'an's eyes. He opened the drawer and took out the letter he had just placed there.
"See for yourself!"
Meng Qingye eagerly took it, opened it, and began to study it word by word.
A year ago, once their strength allowed, they tried to send someone to Beishuo to infiltrate the imperial court and secretly protect the princess.
However, the newly appointed King of Beishuo was exceptionally capable, and his army was strictly disciplined, so his men could never find a suitable opportunity to infiltrate the army.
Until six months ago, the princess wanted to set up a workshop called "Milk Powder Processing Plant" and was recruiting people from outside. Their people took the opportunity to sneak in.
Every now and then, the princess would visit the milk powder processing plant to instruct the workers on how to make milk powder.
She sold milk powder made from milk to Yuanxia Kingdom, opening up trade routes between Beishuo Kingdom and Yuanxia Kingdom. This brought more income to the people of Beishuo Kingdom and allowed the people of Yuanxia Kingdom to drink nutritious and healthy milk.
When the first letter about the princess was sent back from Beishuo, the two of them drank happily all night in this study!
They finally learned that the princess had not suffered; she was doing well and even had a child!
Neither of them felt jealousy, but rather immense envy for the fortunate King of Beishuo!
Their princess was born to be loved by the most people!
As Meng Qingye read the letter, he chuckled softly from time to time. The usually serious and unsmiling General Meng now had a gentle expression on his face.
Actually, the letter didn't contain any confidential information. It simply recorded in detail the princess's expression, mood, every word she said in the factory, every facial expression, the color of her clothes, and so on.
This mundane and somewhat boring content became the thing they looked forward to most each month!
After reading the letter, Meng Qingye read it again from beginning to end, then carefully folded the letter and handed it back to Su Ting'an.
"Brother Su, how much longer?"
Su Ting'an held the letter in his hand, stroking it, and slowly said, "It'll be ready soon!"

Five months later.
Fu Luo returned home early and dismissed the servants.
He strode up to Li Yunyan and whispered in her ear, "Yanyan, get ready. In two days, I'll take you back to Yuanxia Kingdom!"
Li Yunyan looked up, "So sudden?!"
"Um!"
Fu Luoyouqi nodded firmly, "I just received news that the emperor of Yuanxia Kingdom has died suddenly, and his five princes are either dead or crippled. The royal family is less than one-tenth of its members."
His eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty light. "Yanyan, I'll take you back and reclaim everything that belongs to you!"
Li Yunyan could not hide her excitement.
However, less than three years have passed, and the current development is already almost in line with the plot, which is a whole year ahead of schedule!
Furthermore, at that time, only a small portion of the royal family of Yuanxia Kingdom died in the internal struggle for the throne; the majority were massacred after the army of Beishuo Kingdom occupied the palace!
And now, before the Northern Shuo Kingdom's army has even moved, they have already been almost all killed!
Li Yunyan nodded, "Okay! I'll go and get Yuzhu and the others ready! Erqi and Qiqige are coming with us, right?"
"Of course we'll go together!" Fu Luoyouqi said firmly, "We're family, we'll never be apart!"
"What about the Northern Shuo Kingdom?"
He lowered his head and kissed her. "Thanks to Yanyan's idea of ​​preserving milk, the people of Beishuo now have a stable income, live in peace and prosperity, and their lives are gradually improving. With Father Khan at the Imperial Court and Tuoba Gegen in the army, there won't be any trouble!"
Moved, Li Yunyan threw herself into his arms, nestled her face against his chest, felt his warmth, and snuggled against him affectionately.
Her voice was full of guilt, "Aqi, you were doing so well as the King of Beishuo, but you had to accompany me to Yuanxia Kingdom. I really feel that this is very unfair to you!"
He stroked her soft hair and said with a gentle smile, "Silly girl, there's a saying in your Central Plains: 'You are not a fish, how can you know the joy of a fish?' In my heart, you and the child are far more important than the throne!"
He cupped her face in his hands and teased, "Besides, it's not like I'm no longer the King of Beishuo. Can't I go on a private visit to Yuanxia Kingdom?"
