Chapter 83, first published on Jinjiang (1st update) "Since Yu Yu doesn't..."
Ruan Yu also missed him.
It had indeed been several months since the two had last seen each other. When Ruan Yu learned of Chao Lu's disappearance, her heart sank to the bottom. At that moment, she really couldn't care about anything else and just wanted to see him as soon as possible.
Although it was daytime, the servants tacitly refrained from disturbing them. Chao Lu carried Ruan Yu directly to the inner tent, where the two intertwined their necks in a tender embrace. If it weren't for the people coming and going outside, Chao Lu would have almost lost control.
Ruan Yu closed her eyes and let him kiss her, sometimes lightly, sometimes heavily, until a thin layer of sweat appeared on her nose and forehead. The weather was already very hot, and wherever Chao Lu's hands touched, it felt even hotter.
Both of them were breathing uncontrollably until Chao Lu finally grabbed a handful of the mattress beneath him and managed to pull himself away from her.
"Why isn't it evening yet?" he said resentfully.
Ruan Yu blushed and turned to the side to straighten her clothes.
"Father Khan and Prince Chen are probably still waiting for you in the Golden Tent for a meeting. Go and check on them first..."
Chao Lu stepped forward and shook her hand, applying a little force: "Wait for me to have dinner together tonight."
"Um……"
Ruan Yu was also a little flustered. After Chao Lu left, she covered her cheeks and calmed down for a while.
-
"Has Prince Chen arrived in Chaha?"
Pei Du was quite surprised when he received the news in the tent. Liu Yun asked anxiously, "Yes, sir, the people have arrived. What should we do now?"
Chen Wang's uprising can be considered a rebellion, while Pei Du is a member of the court; the two are on opposing sides. Since Chen Wang has troops, Pei Du's best course of action is naturally to leave the Chaha tribe to protect himself. In fact, the Pei family also has troops, but as he had previously told Chao Lu, they intended to observe the conflict from a distance, never venturing into the grasslands. Unexpectedly, their observation has backfired, and the fire has spread to them.
Pei Du also couldn't grasp the thoughts of the Prince of Chen.
He pondered for a moment: "In that case, let's leave Chaha tonight."
Liu Yun had been waiting for him to say those words, and immediately turned around to make preparations.
Pei Du sat in his chair and pondered for a while. Shuang Nian asked cautiously, "My lord, should we greet the Fourth Prince and the Fourth Chancellor?"
Pei Du remained silent; at this moment, it was best not to disturb anyone.
But he himself was also caught in a dilemma.
Chao Lu did indeed go to the Golden Tent in the afternoon.
King Chen was treated as an honored guest, and Hurile hosted a banquet in his honor.
Madam Qiu took leave and did not attend. Only Naren and Yuzhu accompanied her at the banquet. Chaolu felt it was not interesting and kept wanting to go back.
Finally, it was Prince Chen who called off the banquet: "Great Khan, I am not feeling well, let's call it a day."
Hurileben was already in high spirits from drinking, but seeing his thin appearance, he didn't press him: "Your Highness, please take care of yourself."
Prince Chen smiled, nodded in agreement, and then turned and left.
As he was leaving the tent, he ran into Chaolu, who nodded politely to him, but said nothing more.
Prince Chen laughed and said, "I heard that the Fourth Prince has married the Princess of Rong?"
When the topic turned to Ruan Yu, Chao Lu immediately became alert.
"What's the problem?"
Prince Chen smiled faintly: "No, this Si Ke Dun is just someone I have some connection with."
After saying this, he had his attendant continue pushing him forward. Chen Wang's attendant, named A Yuan, whispered, "Your Highness, this servant remembers that Rong Wang only has one daughter. This Si Ke Dun seems to be a pitiful person temporarily taken from the imperial clan to take her place..."
King Chen: "Hmm, go investigate again."
"yes."
On Pei Du's side, Liu Yun arranged everything in one afternoon. As darkness fell, the three of them, master and servant, prepared to leave first.
Unexpectedly, they had not gone far from the tent when they were suddenly blocked by Prince Chen's men.
The person in the wheelchair had his back to Pei Du and seemed to be admiring the moon.
"The Pei family of Hedong is a prestigious and influential family. When I was still in the capital, I was an old friend of your father. According to etiquette, you should call me uncle."
Chen Wang's wheelchair slowly turned around, and Liu Yun and Shuang Nian were shocked!
This Chen Wang, a newcomer, seems to have known all along that they were here, and he even came to ambush them tonight!
His meticulousness is frightening!
Pei Du was clearly a little surprised, but only for a moment, and then he respectfully bowed to the Prince of Chen.
"uncle."
King Chen smiled and said, "There's no need to rush. Stay with me on the grassland for a while longer."
Pei Du lowered his eyes, clearly having no better solution at the moment.
It can only be that.
-
The Khan got extremely drunk tonight, and even though there were no more guests to entertain, no one could stop him.
He drank it by himself.
Naren was too lazy to try to persuade her anymore; she was also feeling quite annoyed.
The second attack on Aohan was not led by Chaolu, nor by her son.
Her original plan to use this battle to help Charles establish his authority was completely shattered.
And her position as Grand Hatton...
Granny You whispered, "In my opinion, the root cause of all these things is that lady from the Central Plains. As long as she is around, she is always a thorn in our side."
"You make it sound so easy. My sister couldn't do anything about her before, and now that Chaolu's status is rising, it's not such an easy thing..."
This is precisely what's troubling Naren.
"Let's contact our grandfather first. We must make sure the Great Khan selects the Great Khatun in the next few days."
"Hey, the Naadam festival is coming soon, and Dahadun has to take charge of it. Don't worry."
...
The sky in July.
It's incredibly hot and humid.
Inside the tent where Prince Chen was located, the servants busied themselves in an orderly fashion.
All the necessary items were prepared, showing that the prince had indeed made thorough preparations for this trip.
It was late at night, but King Chen was still wide awake, as if waiting for someone.
Finally, the guards brought the person in.
The other person was blindfolded, but upon seeing who was standing before the table, they were shocked and immediately knelt down.
"Your Highness, I greet you!"
King Chen slowly raised his head and stared at his old friend.
"Get up, General Yang."
The person kneeling on the ground was Yang Hu, who had disappeared for several days. He looked a little haggard and slowly stood up.
"You've suffered. You were looking for Chaolu that day, weren't you? My men didn't recognize you and accidentally injured you."
Yang Hu was a little agitated: "I'm fine. Knowing it's Your Highness, I'm relieved..."
Prince Chen's emotions were also somewhat complicated. He put down the scroll and said, "I didn't expect you to trust me so much..."
"My faith in the Prince is the same as my faith in the Prince."
Chen Wang's eyes flickered slightly as he recalled the figure he had glimpsed during the day.
"She sent you to follow Chaolu?"
"Yes! Madam was worried that someone might harm the Fourth Prince on the battlefield, so she had me accompany him from the day he set off, but we still couldn't prevent it. It's my incompetence..."
"It's not your fault; perhaps the other party is too insidious. So... can you tell me who she suspects?"
The undercurrents swirling on the grasslands were unknown to King Chen.
Yang Hu was perhaps the one who knew the most.
For reasons unknown, Yang Hu recounted everything that had happened in the past six months.
Including what I saw that night.
After hearing this, King Chen fell into a long silence.
"Six Taiji?"
He seemed quite puzzled.
This is something Yang Hu hasn't been able to figure out.
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. The Third Prince was drugged by the Sixth Prince that day."
A Yuan was also confused.
“I understand why the Third Prince and the others have motives regarding Narenhadun, but I haven’t noticed the Sixth Prince’s motives before. Moreover, it seems that the Sixth Prince and the Fourth Prince have a rather good relationship…”
King Chen: "It seems that things on the grasslands are far more complicated than we imagined..."
Yang Hu: "Your Highness! If only you could help the Madam, she has had a very difficult time these past few years!"
When Yang Hu got emotional, his eyes also reddened.
After pondering for a long time, Prince Chen slowly said, "It's kind of you to trust me so much. You should go back now."
"Your Highness..."
"Don't let her know that you're coming to see me tonight."
Yang Hu was puzzled.
Prince Chen smiled and said, "I haven't figured out the situation yet. Let's not let her get involved in the open."
Yang Hu suddenly realized, and wiped away his tears again: "Yes."
After Yang Hu left, King Chen gave instructions to his guards.
"Immediately send men down to investigate. Remember, the things I need to investigate are to be done separately, and no word is to be leaked."
"yes……"
...
"hiss……"
Chao Lu returned to his tent, and after bathing, Ruan Yu helped him change his dressing.
He was much more seriously injured when he was training horses before the New Year, but he didn't make a fuss then.
The skin and flesh wounds were almost healed by now, but he kept shouting.
Does it hurt here too?
Before Ruan Yu could exert much effort, Chao Lu frowned and said, "It hurts."
What about this?
"It hurts too."
He looked at the person with a somewhat pitiful expression.
Ruan Yu frowned, looking a little puzzled.
“If you blow on it, it won’t hurt anymore,” Chaolu suddenly said with a smile.
Ruan Yu realized what was happening and suddenly reached out and pinched him on the leg: "You think you're Buhe!"
Chao Lu laughed and reached out to hug her.
Ruan Yu had already taken a bath, and a faint fragrance wafted around her.
She was wearing a very thin ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress).
Chao Lu's gaze kept drifting to the snow-white skin below her neck, and he couldn't help but sigh deeply.
"The Central Plains also has its advantages."
Ruan Yu asked, puzzled, "Why did you suddenly come to this conclusion?"
"This skirt, I can just pull up the waist and I'll look absolutely stunning, isn't that great?"
Ruan Yu looked down and her cheeks turned red.
She turned her head, put down the medicine bottle, and walked towards the bed, not wanting to pay attention to him. Chao Lu wasn't in a hurry either, since he had plenty of time tonight.
And he did just that, gently pulling from behind, grabbing Ruan Yu's skirt and lifting it up.
"Chao Lu! Let go!"
"Don't loosen it."
Suddenly, Chao Lu slipped under her skirt.
Ruan Yu's eyes widened.
"I told you, it's very convenient." Chao Lu's voice was hoarse. Ruan Yu was stunned. She tried to cover up the scene in front of her by grabbing something to cover herself, as if not seeing it meant that the people below could do whatever they wanted.
"Isn't Yu Yu hot?"
"Shut up..." Ruan Yu bit her lip, raising her beautiful neck slightly.
"Since Yu Yu doesn't mind the heat, I don't mind the stuffiness either."
Ruan Yu used to love this layered dress the most.
But from that day on, she vowed never to wear it again!
-----------------------
Author's note: Today is the last day of the holiday, so I'll be posting three chapters as soon as I finish writing them.
But actually, I couldn't finish writing this part even at midnight. I've been working on the most important plot line in the outline since National Day.
I've already sped up the writing, but because the storyline is quite long, I can't gloss over it. If you really don't want to wait, you can come back after I finish writing.
This article is expected to be completed by the end of October.
As for the character card for Chaolu that I ordered before, it hasn't been delivered yet because that artist is too difficult to book and the production cycle is too long, so I haven't dared to urge him... I've ordered two more chibi versions, which might be available next week.
I also signed up for that illustration event. I've never done it before, so I'll look into it. If it works out, I'll commission more illustrations, and maybe I can give them away in a raffle.
Those who like Chaolu and Yuyu can keep an eye out for them.
