Even if you killed such a foolish person hundreds or thousands of times, it would still not quell the anger in Xuan Yuanhan's heart at this moment.
As the saying goes, there is always something hateful about a pitiful person.
His elder brother, Wang Chong, was so righteous and brave, yet he was so cowardly and weak. It was precisely because of his own cowardice and weakness that he personally caused his brother's death.
Now, what was once a perfectly good family, a family that had just welcomed two new lives, has fallen apart.
But when he thought of Wang Chong's desperate pleas and dying words, Xuanyuan Han had no choice but to finally order, "Release him!"
"Yes." Finally, his master softened in the end, and Wei Ning accepted the order and withdrew.
The long night was about to end, and dawn was approaching.
Xuanyuan Han got up and sat down in front of the bed. Looking at Yi Shangyun's peaceful face as she slept soundly, he muttered to himself, "Thank goodness you're still here!"
From the moment they met, whenever faced with danger, thinking of her always made him feel fearless.
It was as if she had never known what danger was.
"Why is it that you treat everyone so well, yet I always feel a sense of distance from you?"
"Who exactly is Wei Mingxuan to you?"
"I am truly afraid that one day, Wei Mingxuan will suddenly appear and take you away from me, and I will never see you again in this life."
As he spoke, he shifted his gaze to Yi Shangyun's abdomen and said, "And this child who should never have come into the world, what am I to do with him? What am I to do with you?"
It seems that there is no solution to any of these problems.
He was indeed tired, so he got up, went to the side to undress, and then returned to the bedside, lifted the brocade quilt, and lay down next to Yi Shangyun.
Carefully, he slipped one of his arms under the cloud's neck.
He then moved her soft body and pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly.
Finally, he smelled that familiar scent emanating from her body again, a faint herbal fragrance.
The taste was like the most effective medicine in the world, instantly soothing all the pain in his heart.
Unconsciously, perhaps fearing that she would run away from him again if he closed his eyes, he greedily hugged her tighter and tighter.
In a daze, Yi Shangyun suddenly opened her eyes as soon as she felt this suffocating embrace.
Upon seeing that it was Xuan Yuanhan who was behind her, tightly encircling her abdomen with one hand, she instinctively struggled.
She tried to push his hand away, refusing him: "Your Highness, no! What are you doing?!"
Xuanyuan Han closed his eyes, and with a gentle hook of his arm, he pulled her back to him: "Be good, don't move, let me hold you for a while. I'll just hold you like this for a little while, just a little while. I'm really tired..."
Yi Shangyun thought he must be up to something about the child in his belly again, and no matter what he said, she refused to listen and continued to struggle uncontrollably.
Just then, Xuanyuan Han suddenly let out a muffled groan of pain: "Ugh..."
He then warned her, "If you don't want my injuries to get worse, then stop struggling and behave yourself. Otherwise, I don't mind using other methods to calm you down."
"The injuries on your body..." Upon hearing this, Yi Shangyun obediently restrained himself and became quiet, no longer moving around recklessly.
She even carefully and slowly turned around to face Xuan Yuanhan, asking with concern, "Does your injury still hurt? Let me see."
"Is it better not to look at it?" Xuan Yuanhan refused.
However, Yi Shangyun still stared at him intently.
"Are you... sure you want to see this?" Xuan Yuanhan realized her insistence, and looked into her eyes with his deep eyes to confirm.
"Hmm," Yi Shangyun nodded to him.
Only then did Xuanyuan Han pull his arm away and sit up facing him.
Yi Shangyun also sat up and gently reached out to loosen his belt.
In an instant, the bandage on his chest, still oozing blood, was exposed to him.
Yi Shangyun tenderly raised her hand and gently stroked it, seeing that his old wounds were never fully healed and that new ones were always added to them, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.
Seeing her tears streaming down her face, Xuanyuan Han reached out to wipe them away, saying with great heartache, "Why are you crying again? I told you it was better not to look."
Yi Shangyun had seen these shocking wounds on his body before, but only now, after witnessing him being stabbed, did she truly appreciate the sight of his body riddled with holes.
Every single one of his wounds was a testament to how he risked his life to protect the people he wanted to protect!
In that instant, it was as if she herself felt his pain, the deep and shallow wounds making it hard to breathe. Suddenly, she asked him, "Your Highness, these wounds must be very painful, right?"
Xuanyuan Han replied, "With you here, all these wounds have been healed."
Let's set aside the immediate question of how to deal with this massive sandstorm.
As the saying goes, a doctor cannot heal himself; in fact, she herself did not know whether she would be able to give birth safely.
However, if the day of parting were to come, perhaps the person he would be most worried about would be the man standing before him.
At this thought, she suddenly cried out to him through her tear-filled eyes, "My husband!"
Upon hearing the word "husband," Xuan Yuanhan was momentarily stunned.
This was the first time she had addressed him in this way since their wedding.
Yi Shangyun looked into his eyes, and after a while, she said with unprecedented seriousness, "You are the King of Qin of Western Qin, but you are also my husband, my lifelong support. In the future, you will also be the father of my child, my child's lifelong support. If one day, I am really gone, Your Highness... Your Highness, could you also take care of yourself?"
Yi Shangyun was clearly choking up, heartbroken and unable to continue speaking.
Upon hearing the words "Husband," and the admonition, Xuan Yuanhan hurriedly reached out and pulled her into his arms, saying, "Yun'er, what are you doing? Why are you suddenly saying such things? Don't leave me, never leave me, I won't allow it, I won't permit it..."
Yi Shangyun was already crying her eyes out, unable to express the things on her mind, so she hugged his waist tightly.
As soon as Xuanyuan Han finished speaking, he lowered his head and gently kissed her eyes, eyebrows, and her soft red lips...
It seemed as if it wanted to soothe all her sadness and sorrow.
A ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds and mist, illuminating the earth and all things in the world.
Yellow sand stretches endlessly, camel bells ring out...
Early in the morning, Yi Shangyun was forced to ride ahead of Xuan Yuanhan, and the two of them galloped forward together, leaving the military camp to inspect the grassland.
"His Highness the Prince of Qin is so gentle with His Highness the Princess!"
"His Highness the Prince of Qin and His Highness the Princess are such a perfect match!"
"His Highness the Prince of Qin and His Highness the Princess are truly loving!"
"His Highness Prince Qin and His Highness the Princess are truly a match made in heaven!"
"Your Highness, please hurry up and give birth to a baby for His Highness Prince Qin!"
...
Wherever he went, everyone looked at him with envy and he received everyone's blessings.
However, upon hearing these words and seeing the completely different looks people gave me, I realized that they were quite different from usual.
Yi Shangyun covered her face tightly with her hands, not daring to raise her head, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, this is too embarrassing! Please put me down quickly..."
Unexpectedly, Xuanyuan Han loudly proclaimed in public: "You are the Princess of Qin whom I personally welcomed into my home with three letters and six rites, four betrothal gifts and five gold pieces, eight-bearer sedan chair and ten miles of red bridal procession. What is wrong with riding on the same horse as me?"
At this moment, someone in the crowd chimed in, "Yes, yes, His Highness Prince Qin is absolutely right. Your Highness, you must be a good girl and listen to me..."
"Your Highness..." Yi Shangyun could only bury herself in Xuan Yuanhan's arms, blushing with embarrassment.
Xuanyuan Han, however, was overjoyed on his own.
Even before the sandstorm arrived, the shifting sands along the way were already no longer anchored and were exposed again.
The two walked side by side. After thinking for a long time, Yi Shangyun finally couldn't help but speak up: "Your Highness, I still believe that only with the help of the Desert Divine Spring can this quicksand be controlled!"
Immediately afterwards, he took out the jade-colored porcelain bottle from his person and went to the side to test it: "Your Highness, let me demonstrate for you."
After watching Yi Shangyun's demonstration, Xuanyuan Han said, "It's not that I don't trust you; I've never doubted your intelligence and wisdom. It's just... going deep into the desert again will be even more difficult because of the fear I had before!"
Unexpectedly, Yun, seemingly having forgotten the pain of her wound, said, "I'm not afraid..."
Xuanyuan Han stared intently into his eyes and said, "I know you've always been fearless. But I am afraid..."
"Your Highness..." Yi Shangyun continued to look at him persistently.
Xuanyuan Han retorted, "Have you forgotten that you just told me that I am the King of Qin of Western Qin, but also your husband, your lifelong support. In the future, I will also be the father of our children, and our children's lifelong support. As for me, aren't you the same? I also hope that you can cherish yourself occasionally."
Such a deep and affectionate gaze almost made Yi Shangyun fall for it, but she quickly came to her senses and said softly, "But there are some things that someone has to do!"
Xuanyuan Han seemed to have already made up his mind, but he said with absolute certainty, "But that person is definitely not you..."
Just as Yi Shangyun looked at Xuan Yuanhan's profile with a face full of doubt, Xuan Yuanhan said, "This time, I will personally lead the men to retrieve it!"
Yi Shangyun immediately exclaimed, "Your Highness, you mustn't... Your Highness is the Prince of Qin of the Western Qin Kingdom, a man of noble status. How can you do something so dangerous, something that is almost certain to kill you?"
Xuanyuan Han then reminded her, "Have you forgotten that you are still the noble legitimate princess of the wealthy and powerful Dongning Kingdom on the Lingkong Continent? In my vast territory of Xiqin, do you think you are more qualified than me to do this?"
"I... Now that I have married you, I am a citizen of the Western Qin Kingdom, and it is only right that I do my best to share Your Highness's burdens!" Yi Shangyun stammered, hurriedly trying to find a reason to answer.
Xuanyuan Han looked at her with doting eyes, then put a hand on her shoulder and said, "You married me, not Western Qin. Be good, stay here and wait for me to come back!"
After saying that, he placed a deep kiss on her forehead.
"Your Highness, please don't..." Yi Shangyun looked at him with reluctance.
Xuanyuan Han went over and mounted his horse, saying, "Don't worry!"
So he spurred his horse and led his men away, weary from their journey...
