Tuoba Xuan looked up at the girl before him, whose eyes were still clear, and asked in return, "Do you want to be a princess?"
Cui Yulu smiled and shook her head: "I don't want to. I just want to save him and my country. Only with a stable country can I open a clinic and save more people with peace of mind."
A sense of respect suddenly rose in Tuoba Xuan's heart. This young woman already knew how to do things for her country, so naturally he would help her realize this wish.
"I'm willing to help you, but I have a request. I wonder if you can agree to it?"
Just then, Han Yu'an came to deliver medicine and also to check on Cui Yulu's condition.
When Tuoba Xuan saw Han Yu'an enter, he stopped talking and quietly watched Cui Yulu bring him the medicine.
Can you feed me?
He did it on purpose, just to see how Han Yu'an would react?
"It's not convenient for her to feed you, so let me do it. I'm better at feeding you."
Han Yu'an took the medicine bowl from her hand and, without saying a word, put the spoon to his lips.
"Aren't you going to blow on it for me? It's burning hot."
"You're already being generous by feeding me, don't push your luck."
Han Yu'an fed him spoonful after spoonful with some impatience, which made Tuoba Xuan wince from the heat.
Cui Yulu found the two of them inexplicably amusing; they were such a pair of clowns.
"Okay, stop teasing him. He's straightforward and will take it seriously."
Cui Yulu quickly urged Tuoba Xuan to change his tune and apologize, since this was no joke to be made lightly.
"Alright, you stingy man, if you keep this up, I'll support Yulu and Fu Xiaoyu. You're so stingy. I've already taken Yulu as my sworn sister. She's now a princess of my foreign land. Your status is not good enough for her. I'll marry her off to Fu Xiaoyu."
Tuoba Xuan said in feigned anger, but his mouth was so hot from the heat that he could barely speak.
Han Yu'an looked at Cui Yulu and asked, "What are your thoughts? Do you want to marry the prince?"
"Of course, my sister is more than qualified to marry a prince. I think the princes of your Great Yuan Dynasty are not good enough for my sister."
"Alright, this is getting more and more outrageous. I'll agree to your conditions, but you have to agree to mine too. How about you help me save Fu Xiaoyu?"
Tuoba Xuan's hearty laughter echoed throughout the tent, and Han Yu'an felt as if his ears were being subjected to tremendous torture.
“My sister’s affairs are naturally my affairs, and I will naturally help her. However, there is a problem right now. We are short of troops and food, so it will be difficult to advance on Kyoto.”
Tuoba Xuan scratched his head, which was why he had set up camp here.
Cui Yulu looked at Tuoba Xuan and said with a smile, "You don't need to worry about the food problem. I know where there is food, enough for your army to march and fight."
"Really? You really know where there's food?"
Cui Yulu nodded confidently; there was plenty of space available, she just needed to find any cave.
When the time comes, let Roubao take them there, and just say that Roubao discovered it by accident, and that will make perfect sense.
Since the white wolf is their totem, they naturally believe that the white wolf will bring them good luck.
Having received Tuoba Xuan's personal consent, Cui Yulu finally felt relieved.
"You seem to be in a good mood?"
"That's a big thing that's been resolved, of course I'm happy, but you seem a little unhappy?"
Han Yu'an deliberately turned his back to her: "Hmph, how can you be happy after being criticized for such a long time?"
Cui Yulu knew it was because of this, so she quickly went over and took his hand, saying, "Look, when I'm with you, I don't care about the proper distance between men and women, so why do you care about what he said?"
Han Yu'an was amused by her: "You said it yourself, so you can't go back on your word later."
"Why have you become so indecisive? I always keep my word. Besides, it seems like you're the one who keeps changing your mind. You were the one who didn't want me before, so why are you angry now?"
"But I've also said I regret it. I can't live well without you."
"So, our fates have been intertwined from the very beginning, and it's probably going to be hard for us to separate in this lifetime."
Cui Yulu rested her chin on her hands, looking out at the frozen earth. Everything seemed so desolate, yet beneath the frozen earth, countless lush lives seemed to be gestating.
Because it was relatively close to Jingyuan Town, the three of them returned to Jingyuan Town to reunite with their families, arranged by Tuoba Xuan.
When Liu Meie saw that her three children had returned, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.
"Good children, you're finally back! I was so worried about you. Was Kyoto really besieged? How did you get back? Is the Prince alright?"
Liu Meie's rapid-fire questions left the three of them unsure where to begin.
"Everything is fine, so don't worry. Take good care of the family; we're leaving the day after tomorrow."
"Oh, we have to go again? What are we going to do next?"
Liu Meie's smile immediately vanished. They had finally reunited, but now they had to leave again.
"The New Year is almost here, so please don't leave."
“Auntie, we still have some things to take care of, but we will definitely come back for the New Year.”
“Chunying, don’t leave. Stay home and help out. Your sister-in-law is pregnant now, just two months along and the pregnancy isn’t stable yet, so she can’t overexert herself. The shop also needs help, so you should stay and help out.”
Cui Yulu was overjoyed to hear this; all her previous efforts had finally paid off.
"Sister-in-law, this is really great news! I think you're definitely having twins this time."
Cao Qiaoniu blushed and scolded her, "One is enough. I don't want twins. I'm afraid my body can't handle it."
"It's okay, I'm here. This time, I promise you won't suffer during childbirth."
Cao Qiaoniu looked at Cui Yulu gratefully. She really had to thank Cui Yulu for everything. If it weren't for her, she wouldn't even be alive, let alone pregnant.
After finishing lunch, the family chatted for a while, and then Cui Yulu and Han Yu'an decided to go out for a walk.
The two arrived at shop number 12, Jia 1, Changshun Street. The renovation was almost complete, and Fu Xiaoyu was indeed efficient.
"Look, this is my shop. I'll open a clinic here so you can focus on your studies and take the imperial examinations. After you pass the exams, come here and marry me, okay?"
Looking at the exquisitely decorated shop in front of him, Han Yu'an felt grateful to Fu Xiaoyu. He was ashamed of himself for all the things Fu Xiaoyu had done for Cui Yulu.
"Fu Xiaoyu is a good person, we should help him. What if he wants to marry you?"
Cui Yulu glared at him and said angrily, "What are you thinking? I've told you so many times, I know my own identity and have never even dreamed of such an identity. If you keep thinking like this, I'm really going to ignore you."
Seeing that she was really angry, Han Yu'an wanted to quickly go over and coax her.
"Yulu, you're back! I'm so glad you're back. I missed you so much!"
A woman's voice suddenly rang out behind her, and Cui Yulu felt a chill run down her spine. This troublesome woman was here again.
