Chapter 84, first published on Jinjiang (2nd update) "In my opinion..."
When Ruan Yu and Haila arrived at Madam Qiu's tent early in the morning, their mother-in-law was still not up.
Qinggu came out and whispered, "Last night, Madam didn't rest until almost midnight, and it seems she caught a cold."
Hela exclaimed in alarm, "I'm going in to check on my mother!"
Ruan Yu was with her.
Madam Qiu leaned against the couch, looking rather haggard.
"Mother, how are you? Have you called a doctor to come and see you?"
Madam Qiu smiled and said, "It's nothing serious, it's alright."
"We'll have to see a doctor. I'll go and fetch Rein."
Qinggu: "This servant will go."
Hailadao is good.
Both of them accompanied Madam Qiu. Ruan Yu said, "Chao Lu went out early this morning and will come to see Mother later."
Madam Qiu smiled and said, "It's alright. Is there any news today? How is things going on with Ao Han?"
Hela: "Mother, don't worry about these things! There's that King Chen over there, he's so powerful, there won't be any problems."
Ruan Yu could guess her mother-in-law's thoughts and looked at her with some worry. Madam Qiu smiled and said, "That's true, Mother is overthinking it."
"I heard that today in the Golden Horde, the Kereit people were urging the Great Khan to quickly bestow the title of Great Khatun. You tell me, their intentions couldn't be clearer! They just want Naran to be promoted, but even after what happened to Char, they don't seem to feel ashamed! Besides, there's still fighting on the front lines, and the reason they're using is the Naadam festival! What an unbelievable bunch!"
“The Naadam is a major event on the grasslands. It will be held in September, which is indeed less than two months away, so it is only natural,” said Madam Qiu.
Hela was speechless.
"Anyway, I just can't stand their attitude. They're so arrogant. My mother just doesn't want to argue with them."
When this matter was brought up, Madam Qiu's expression indeed became serious: "Hela, Mother will absolutely not compromise on this matter, and you must not mention it to anyone outside."
Hela lowered her eyes: "I understand..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qinggu walked in: "Madam, Riyin has arrived... and... the Great Khan."
Ruan Yu and Haila were stunned for a moment, then stood up.
"Mother, we'll take our leave now."
Haila and Ruanyu went out, and when Hurile came in, the two of them bowed, but Hurile's expression was not very good, and he nodded lightly.
Ruan Yu was a little worried and called out to Hela, "Let's wait here."
Hela paused for a moment, then nodded and said okay.
Thankfully, there was no arguing coming from inside. Ruan Yu was genuinely worried, fearing that the Khan would quarrel with his mother-in-law again over the matter of Prince Chen…
About 15 minutes later, I was sweating profusely.
Although there was no argument, Hurile was clearly a little tired: "Your mother is ill. From today onwards, she will be resting in seclusion and no outsiders are allowed to disturb her."
Ruan Yu lowered her eyes, but Haila became anxious and pressed, "Father Khan, what do you mean by this?!"
Hurile ignored her and walked away. Ruan Yu said, "Never mind, perhaps Mother didn't want to get involved in this conflict in the first place. Resting in seclusion is a good thing..."
...
Inside the golden tent.
The ministers were indeed arguing endlessly about the matter of bestowing the title of Grand Hadun, and to everyone's surprise, King Chen also expressed his opinion.
"In my opinion, Narenhadun is a natural and logical choice."
After he finished speaking, everyone in the hall fell silent.
Black Stone from the Kereit tribe glanced at the other party with considerable approval.
Hurile, however, seemed quite unhappy about his interference in the matter.
But Blackstone said, "Great Khan, the position of Great Khatun is not something you can decide on a whim; it concerns the cooperation of several vassal states. Now that His Highness Prince Chen intends to raise an army to cooperate, why don't you move in the right direction?"
Hurile squinted at Chen Wang and clenched his fist.
"Chao Lu, what do you think?"
Hurile pointed out Chaolu in the tent, and everyone looked over.
In fact, it is now very clear that the Khan favors his fourth son and also has deep feelings for Lady Qiu from the Central Plains.
The Khan clearly wanted to support the other one.
Chaolu lowered his eyes and said, "Father Khan, I am unaware of such an important matter. I leave everything to Father Khan's decision."
Hurile looked at him for a while, knowing he wouldn't get any other answer, so he sighed and waved his hand, saying, "Let's stop here for today. I and Prince Chen have important matters to discuss. You all go ahead."
"yes……"
Black Stone seemed very unwilling and gave King Chen a deep look.
As Chaolu was about to leave, Hurile called out to him, "Chaolu, you stay."
Chao Lu stopped in his tracks.
"yes."
Only Prince Chen, Chaolu, and Hurile remained in the tent.
Hurile paused for a moment and then stated his plan directly: "Chaolu, I intend to make your mother the Great Khatun. What do you think?"
Chao Lu suddenly looked up.
This was the first time his father had spoken to him about this matter openly, which left Chaolu with mixed feelings.
"You know what I mean. Your brothers are all useless. Sooner or later, I will have to decide on a successor."
He gazed intently at his son, Chaolu's heart pounding in his chest.
He never expressed his ambition to his father, the Khan.
When it really came to this, he actually...
King Chen suddenly laughed: "Great Khan, how could I be here for such an important matter? This is not appropriate."
"There's no need. I acknowledge your strength. I've heard you have a son who, if you seize the throne in the future, will be given to him, right?"
"Yes, the Khan is right."
"And what about yourself?"
King Chen laughed: "I'm old and disabled. In my old age, I might want to make up for the regrets of my youth. It wouldn't be bad to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to spend my old age."
To make up for regrets?
Hurile's fists clenched so tightly they cracked.
"What if this regret can't be made up for?"
King Chen: "How will we know if we don't try?"
The two stared at each other, their eyes filled with a hostility that only the other could understand.
Chao Lu was confused and simply remained silent.
King Chen said, “Actually, the Khan knows very well that the position of Great Khatun belongs to Naren. It’s useless for you to force Chaolu here. Besides, I think Turing is also a good candidate for the position of Khan.”
Both father and son looked at King Chen. Hurile said, "Ha?! It seems that King Chen knows all about the Taijis of my grasslands! You don't need to worry about this matter! Please."
Chen Wang curled his lips, having never intended to stay any longer.
It seemed to him that Hurile was merely struggling with his own ridiculous obsession.
Footsteps sounded outside the tent.
Suddenly, a servant knelt down outside—
"Your Majesty, something has happened to the Third Prince!"
Hurile frowned.
...
Since his return, Char has been under strict protection by Naren.
Only the shaman goes in each day to treat the Third Prince.
Yuzhu, on the other hand, had been depressed ever since she heard about what had happened in the front-line camp.
They probably felt ashamed and didn't want to go out at all.
Baoyin came to see her early this morning.
"Sister-in-law, don't you want to go see your brother?"
Yu Zhu sneered, "What's so interesting about something like this?"
Baoyin: "Sister-in-law, you can't think like that. Third Brother only made a small mistake. If everyone thinks it's a small matter, then it will pass. But if everyone thinks it's unforgivable, then it really won't pass. I heard that today the Kereit tribe put pressure on the Khan again to elevate Mother to the position. Looking across the entire grassland, there is no one more suitable than Mother. Brother still has a great chance in the future..."
Yu Zhu pursed her lips.
"Sister-in-law, go and see your brother, and try to persuade him. He's all alone and quite pitiful... isn't he? If he listens to you, our good days are yet to come."
Yuzhu was persuaded by Baoyin.
So he and Baoyin went to Charles's tent.
The gatekeeper saw that it was Yuzhu and did not stop her, and Naren was not there at the time.
But to everyone's surprise, as soon as Yuzhu went inside...
Then I saw Charles laughing and arguing with the woman again.
Baoyin was shocked!
"Who let me in!"
Naren strictly forbade any woman from approaching the Third Prince, under penalty of death.
But now...
Yu Zhu had only heard about it before, but now that she had seen it with her own eyes, she immediately staggered.
"No……!"
"Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law, don't look!"
Baoyin stood in front of Yuzhu, but Yuzhu was already furious!
"Charle! Where do you put me?!"
She was pregnant, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen!
Anger surged within her, and she pointed at Charles, too livid to utter a single word. Then… she frowned and clutched her lower abdomen…
"It hurts so much...my stomach hurts so much..."
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, what's wrong?" Baoyin stepped forward and helped Yuzhu up.
"My stomach hurts so much..."
Baoyin glanced down and pursed her lips.
"Third Brother, aren't you coming over?"
Baoyin turned around and glanced at Charles.
Charles was like a walking corpse, utterly insane.
...
Yuzhu miscarried.
When the news spread, Naren rushed back, and Hurile arrived at the tent at the same time.
A scene of chaos.
This is a great disgrace, and the entire Chaha tribe has heard about it.
Naren was furious and immediately rushed over with the herdsman.
Both Charles and Yuzhu were in poor condition at the time.
Especially Yuzhu, after the midwives went in and took a few glances, for some reason, they rushed out as if they were frightened.
"What's the panic!"
The Great Khan arrived.
Naren went to see Char first, unaware of what was happening here.
"Great Khan, it's a monster...a monster..."
Hurile was already in a bad mood, and when he saw the other party talking nonsense again, his anger rose from his heart.
Explain yourself!
Madam Qiu did not come, but Ruan Yu and Haila were alerted and rushed over.
The old woman knelt down on the ground: "What's in Sankedun's belly isn't a fetus, it's not..."
Hela: "What are you talking about! What else could it be but a fetus? I'm going in to check!"
Ruan Yu suddenly grabbed her and gently shook her head.
At this moment, King Chen's men also arrived.
"Your Majesty, the Prince said that he heard that Sankhtun is not in good condition. Prince Chen has brought with him the famous physician Li Su from the Central Plains, who may be able to help."
Hurile frowned.
Ruan Yu advised, "I've heard that it's the reincarnation of the famous Hua Tuo, Father Khan... perhaps..."
Although Hurile was reluctant, he eventually nodded, as it concerned his grandson.
Doctor Li arrived quickly, apologized, and went inside.
Of course, the veterinarian also went in.
Unfortunately, they all turned pale after seeing Yuzhu's condition.
Unheard of, unheard of.
Li Su took a closer look and frowned.
Women who miscarry usually only experience a gush of blood.
There were still living creatures under the bedding under the bed of the Khedrup.
Some of the maids mustered up the courage to take a look, but they were all so frightened that they fainted.
What they saw was not blood at all.
Instead, it surged along with the bloodstains, teeming with countless insect eggs.
