If he had been any slower, the princess's maids might have already replaced all the things from the grasslands with the things brought by the Qing Dynasty.
"Okay." Seeing that the princess wasn't causing any trouble, Hertz's furrowed brows relaxed a little.
He still remembers his father's concubine from his childhood. Although she was gentle, she cried incessantly every day, which annoyed him to no end in his mother's room.
If this princess weren't as prone to crying as that one, he wouldn't be unable to tolerate it.
That evening, Qingyin heard that the Khan would not be coming because he was busy with government affairs, and her eyes lit up. "Yuqin, I need to wash up. Bring me that lily dress to change into."
"Yes, Princess," Yuqin replied happily.
She didn't care whether the Khan of the grasslands came or not; it was his loss if he didn't come. No one would refuse a beauty like a princess.
Yuqin, who had become a die-hard fan of Qingyin, firmly believed this.
After taking a fragrant bath, Qingyin changed into a lily-patterned nightgown with a flowing rose-knot sash tied around her waist. She looked absolutely stunning. Looking at herself in the mirror, Qingyin winked narcissistically. The dress was truly beautiful, but it was too sheer to wear as a nightgown, which was why she hadn't worn it on the way.
When she arrived at the grassland, she was still a little hesitant, but since the Khan wouldn't be coming, she didn't need to worry about it anymore.
Perhaps Qingyin had slept enough during the days of travel, and was no longer sleepy upon arrival today.
Qingyin simply had Yuqin bring her a storybook and started reading.
Under the dim, yellowish light, an otherworldly beauty lay languidly on a bright red bed. Her slender waist and fair, jade-like skin stood out even more against the vibrant red quilt, as smooth and delicate as mutton fat jade, radiating a lustrous glow. Her delicate hands were turning the pages of a book, each turn exuding boundless charm.
Her exceptionally graceful figure, slightly tilted and slumped, outlined a dangerous curve that made one's blood boil.
This scene was firmly imprinted in the eyes of the newcomer, whose eyes seemed to be staring uncontrollably at the beautiful woman in front of him, who was neither a demon nor a fairy.
Hertz stood there dumbfounded. He had finished his business that night and was thinking that he had long ago planned to make a three-point agreement with Princess Zhaoyang, warning her not to cause trouble.
Now, without a second thought, he was certain that the person lounging so leisurely here was his betrothed, Princess Zhaoyang! Forget about the three rules; tomorrow he'd have everyone prepare properly for his wedding with Zhaoyang, hehe.
Hertz covered his nose and thought, but his eyes were fixed on Qingyin without blinking.
Thanks to him, Qingyin spotted Hertz quietly entering the room amidst the intense gazes, and looked up in surprise, "You!"
Then, under Qingyin's surprised and uncertain gaze, she watched as blood gushed out from the suspicious area around the nose of this man who had only loved working in his previous life, flowing out from between his hands.
Then, the handsome, cold-faced man covered his nose and ran away in a disheveled state under Qingyin's shocked gaze.
Qingyin: "..."
Hertz, who had run out, covered his nose and glared at the soldier who was dozing off at the door, then slapped him hard.
The soldier was startled awake. "Who's there!"
Hertz's face darkened: "Me."
Young Wei looked at the familiar, burly man before him, broke out in a cold sweat, and stammered, "Burning Man?"
Hertz glared at the derelict soldier, "Stay put and guard your Great Khan properly! You've lost your allowance for the next three months."
After explaining the punishment, Hertz hurriedly left.
Once Hertz had walked away, the soldiers, having calmed down, recalled the Khan's words and the strange behavior.
The blood that was just exposed when the Khan covered it up must have been blood, right? And the Great Khan's wife—did the Khan see Princess Zhaoyang while he was asleep?
The soldier wasn't very bright and didn't think it through.
Hertz, who had run far away, jumped into the familiar cold pool by himself. It took a while for the heat in his body to slowly subside.
The bleeding from his nose stopped when his throbbing head stopped thinking.
Once Hertz regained his composure, he was still the wise and stern Khan of the steppes. However, this clever Khan dragged several ministers out of bed late at night and gathered them in a tent.
Still half-asleep and wearing their pajamas, the ministers, forcibly awakened by the Khan's men, yawned and fought off their sleepiness, staring intently at the still-damp Khan: "Khan, is something important happening?"
The Khan woke them up right after they finished washing up. Had something major happened that affected the development of their entire grassland? Or was he preparing to attack the Qing Dynasty?
...
Meeting the expectant or excited gazes of the crowd, Hertz smiled sweetly. In any case, this expression, which was used to the cold and ruthless expression of his own Khan, looked creepy and strange to everyone. It was the kind of weird feeling that made everyone's skin crawl.
Xi Tu, being bold, couldn't help but touch the non-existent goosebumps on his arm and cautiously asked, "Great Khan, are you possessed?"
hertz:"……"
His smile vanished, replaced by his usual deadpan expression as he glared at Xitu.
Seeing the familiar expression on the Khan's face, Xitu relaxed. "Thank goodness. I thought you were possessed, Khan. That silly look, like my nephew suddenly getting married, on your face scared me to death, hahaha..."
Everyone: "..."
hertz:"……"
"Xitu, if you can't speak, I, the Great Khan, can sew your mouth shut for you. What do you think?" Hertz squinted menacingly at Xitu, who was still grinning foolishly.
Xitu shrugged, glancing at his colleagues around him who dared not laugh, his eyes unfocused, avoiding the gaze of the sweating man staring at him, and whispered, "Then it's better not to."
