After Mo Beichen and Yun Qingluo finished their meal, Yun Qingluo saw that the gold was occupied, so she found another room to rest.
Mo Beichen originally intended to have someone move the gold away, but when he remembered the expression on the face of the dilapidated thatched hut, he suddenly changed his mind.
Immediately afterwards, he summoned the six elders without hesitation and said in a very calm tone, "Look, these are all specially prepared for me by the lady."
The six elders were still ecstatic about obtaining such a huge amount of gold, but when they heard what Mo Beichen said, they couldn't help but look embarrassed.
The meaning behind Mo Beichen's words couldn't be clearer—
At this moment, the Sixth Elder stepped forward, bowed to Mo Beichen, and congratulated him with a smile, saying, "Congratulations to the Lord and his wife on acquiring so much gold."
However, Mo Beichen deliberately emphasized as he corrected, "No, this is all my wife's gold; it was given to me by my wife."
The six elders said: "So what if you have a wife? Having a wife is something else."
"Madam is truly remarkable, Madam is so amazing, congratulations to Your Majesty on having such an outstanding wife."
"Yes, Your Majesty is truly blessed. Your wife is amazing."
Mo Yu stood aside, pretending not to recognize the six elders.
See, they were bribed with just a little gold.
“Of course our lady is the most amazing.” Mo Yu walked up to Mo Beichen and immediately expressed his opinion.
Mo Beichen felt pleased upon hearing these words.
He turned around, and despite his love of cleanliness, he didn't mind the dust on the gold bricks. He picked them up and gave one to each person.
"Well said, reward me." Mo Beichen said loudly as he handed out gold.
Upon witnessing this scene, everyone thought: "If we cling to the lady's coattails, we're guaranteed a worry-free life from now on."
"Alright, take the rest and get it done. You have a month."
The six elders were overjoyed. "Rest assured, Your Majesty, it will be done in half a month."
Money can make even the devil turn the millstone.
With so much money, what is there to worry about?
The six elders were dismissed.
Mo Beichen tiptoed to Yun Qingluo's room and slowly pushed the door open.
When he saw the peaceful, sleeping figure on the bed, a wave of tenderness welled up in his heart.
"She fell asleep so quickly," Mo Beichen murmured softly, his footsteps unconsciously becoming even lighter.
He slowly walked to the bedside and gazed quietly at Yun Qingluo's innocent and pure sleeping face, his eyes filled with tenderness and affection.
Seeing her slightly furrowed brows, Mo Beichen knew she must be exhausted today.
Mo Beichen reached out and gently smoothed the wrinkles between Yun Qingluo's brows, then sat down by the bed and silently kept her company.
Time seemed to stand still at that moment, and the whole world consisted of only the two of them and that peaceful and beautiful atmosphere.
In the quiet night, Mo Beichen's thoughts drifted away.
He recalled all the moments he had spent with Yun Qingluo, and he secretly made up his mind that he would do everything in his power to protect this woman who had captured his heart and to give her happiness and peace.
Yun Qingluo originally wanted to rush back to the Sumeru Continent, but now their identities have been exposed, and the location of the Sumeru Continent has also been exposed to other continents.
If they rush back like this, they might be besieged by other continents along the way.
After much persuasion from Mo Beichen, her master, and her junior uncle, Yun Qingluo patiently began to recover.
When she first arrived in the Sumeru Continent, her health was poor, and Mo Beichen wouldn't let her leave the courtyard. Now that she's recovered, Yun Qingluo doesn't want to go out anymore.
Yun Ying has news from her side, and Yun Qingluo also told her to go directly to Mo Beichen and let him make the decision.
He handed over all the medicine he had to Mo Beichen and explained how to use it.
Aside from the initial shock, Mo Beichen became increasingly busy, and Yun Qingluo could only feel the warmth beside her in the middle of the night. She woke up early the next morning, but Mo Beichen woke up even earlier.
Yun Qingluo had no opinion on this; she was now a hands-off manager, so she could only leave it to Mo Beichen to suffer.
Everyone is busy working for her and for the Sumeru Continent, but she is still stuck in the same place.
Xiao Yi, on the other hand, took it all in stride, saying, "Don't make yourself depressed, or Mo Beichen will have to worry about you again."
"Besides, your most important task right now is to recuperate and restore your strength to its peak so that you can fight alongside Mo Beichen and everyone else, and even lead them forward."
"Moreover, there are still tough battles to fight on the Sumeru Continent, and the journey back will be fraught with hardship. With your current sickly condition, you will not only be a hindrance but also a burden, causing them to pay a heavy price to protect you."
Yun Qingluo took several deep breaths. Yes, she couldn't let her mind wander; she had to pull herself together.
At this critical juncture, she cannot afford to have any accidents; she needs to recover to her previous healthy state as quickly as possible.
She should focus on taking care of her health right now and not think about anything else.
Otherwise, if something really happens, his health will be a burden to everyone.
Every morning, just as dawn breaks, Yun Qingluo gets up and begins his morning exercise.
After finishing a set of Tai Chi, she immediately followed up with a set of Baduanjin (Eight Pieces of Brocade), the flowing movements as beautiful as a poem or a painting.
After her workout, she would eat breakfast and take her medicine on time.
Despite the bitter taste of the medicine making it difficult to swallow, Yun Qingluo didn't even flinch.
Xiao Yi, watching from her online space, felt sorry for her but also silently stayed by her side, supporting her.
And it checks her body every day, adjusting the prescription and decocting the medicine as needed based on her physical changes. It doesn't need to keep an eye on her; once the medicine is ready, Yun Qingluo drinks it willingly.
She was anxious, but she took each step very steadily.
After having lunch and taking a short rest, Yun Qingluo spent the rest of her time in the space, organizing the gold and valuables in the warehouse with Xiao Yi.
These things don't require much mental effort, and can be considered a form of exercise.
"These two items can be melted down into a pair of longevity locks, which can be given to Zeyan and Qianyue respectively."
"And this, it would be nice to make two gold bracelets for Qianyue to wear... no, it would be better to change them to silver bracelets, they are said to be good for the body."
Yun Qingluo suddenly recalled various stories from modern times about little girls wearing silver bracelets.
When a little girl is born, her mother will carefully prepare a silver bracelet for her.
It's a pity that I grew up in an orphanage and never experienced such warmth.
But it doesn't matter, she will give Qianyue everything that belongs to her.
"Then take these two and make them into beautiful hairpins for Qianyue."
Yun Qingluo picked up two small, exquisitely crafted hairpins with a smile on her face.
Just by looking at it, you can tell that this is a top-quality product, and it must have cost a lot of money.
