When she pushed the door open, Leng Yu, who was standing at the window, sighed secretly.
They had been married for fourteen years, and during that time they had only slept in separate beds twice.
The first time was fourteen years ago, because he disagreed with adopting Huaiyu, and they had their first quarrel. At that time, he had been in the military camp, and they slept in separate beds for several days.
This time, because of Huaiyu, she slept in a separate bed from him again.
He didn't want to persuade her to come back. Since she wanted to be quiet, he would give her enough time.
The relationship between them must be based on mutual respect. This is what she had said to him at the beginning.
So tonight, even if he had trouble sleeping, he would respect her.
Luo Lan, lying on the bed, was also troubled by his worries and couldn't fall asleep.
The cold bed, the cold room, and her gloomy mood made her feel trembling all over.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Princess, I have brought you a stove."
It was Ah Hong's voice. She hurriedly shouted towards the door as if she had found a life-saving straw:
"Come in quickly."
The door creaked open, and Ah Hong came over to her with a stove in her hand and carefully placed it. Then she took out a hand warmer from her pocket and handed it to her. She tucked the corner of the quilt for her and said worriedly:
"Princess, it's so cold, why are you here alone?"
Luo Lan shrugged and replied helplessly:
"I want to be quiet. By the way, why are you here?"
Ah Hong yawned, scratched his head and replied:
"The prince asked me to bring you a stove. He said it was cold in the room and he was worried you would get cold."
Did he ask Ahong to deliver the stove?
A sarcastic smile appeared on Luo Lan's lips. She didn't know whether to thank Leng Yu for his concern or blame him for his ruthlessness.
She then waved to Ah Hong,
"You should go back to sleep first."
"Princess, are you...really okay?"
"fine……"
The words she spoke were so weak that they carried an unquestionable majesty.
Ah Hong said "oh", bowed to her, turned around and walked away.
The place was peaceful again, but there was a hand warmer in her hand and a stove in the room, which made her feel much warmer.
She lay down again, covered herself with the quilt, and held the hand warmer in her hands, but her heart just couldn't warm up.
He didn't come to persuade her to go back, but asked Ahong to bring her a stove.
That's good, she can live here until she enters the palace.
In this way, after she enters the palace, if he really selects concubines and appoints them as his wives, she won't be too sad!
She admitted that she was deceiving herself. As a person who traveled from the 25th century, with the idea that loyalty in marriage is necessary, she would not accept a polygamous life.
Leng Yu was destined to be sleepless that night, and she slept uneasily.
Just after the hour of Xu, Huang Yun reached the small village where Teng Gexiang lived. As soon as she arrived at the door, someone came to take her horse's reins as usual. She walked to the house with ease and knocked on the door. Then she heard Teng Gexiang's voice from inside.
"Come in."
She pushed open the somewhat heavy door and lifted the heavy curtain, and then she saw Tenggexiang sitting by the fire.
Seeing her come in, Teng Gexiang patted the edge of the kang beside him and greeted her:
"Come quickly, come to Father, it's warm here."
Huang Yun frowned and did not do as he said. Instead, he stood opposite him and bowed politely.
"Father, why did you call me here?"
Teng Gexiang's face darkened at this moment. He looked at Huang Yun, narrowed his eyes, and asked angrily,
"Have you grown so independent? You don't listen to your father anymore, do you?"
"I dare not disobey you. You asked me to be a spy in Daning State, and I did everything you asked. You asked me to stay here for five years, and I did the same. How could I disobey you?"
Teng Gexiang took a deep breath and asked through gritted teeth:
"Then why didn't you listen when I told you to sit here? And why are you so polite to your father? Have you forgotten your status?"
Huang Yun frowned, then replied calmly:
"You're being overly suspicious. You're the King of the North Sea Kingdom. You said that no one can disobey you, no matter who they are. I will never forget my identity. My name is Teng Yunmeng, known to others as Princess Yunmeng. I'm a spy planted by the North Sea Kingdom in the Daning Kingdom, a chess piece in your hands."
"presumptuous."
Seeing the dissatisfaction in Huang Yun's words, Teng Gexiang became a little angry. He continued to shout loudly:
"Are you blaming me? It was your own decision to ask you to come to Daning. Do you think I agreed? You've been here for five years, and your engagement with Prince Daji hasn't been fulfilled yet. For this, I've repeatedly explained to others that you were sick and that you didn't want to leave home so early. Do you know how hard it is for me?"
"Hahaha……"
Huang Yun suddenly raised her head and laughed, her laugh was miserable.
"why are you laughing?"
There was a hint of confusion and anger in Tenggexiang's eyes.
Huang Yun stopped laughing, looked at him fiercely, and said word by word:
"You are really smart. After using me in Daning Kingdom, you are sending me to Nanping Kingdom now. But I must remind you, don't forget what you promised me. Otherwise, I will go and tell Leng Yu right now that you, the King of Beihai Kingdom, are operating right under his nose. If he knew, he would definitely be very happy."
"Shut up."
Teng Gexiang scolded her harshly, "I will do what I promised you, but your engagement with Prince Daji cannot be broken. When you return safely from Daning Kingdom, you can bring your mother and marry her to Nanping Kingdom. It's a great place with abundant resources!"
"I won't marry. You promised me this, but I won't obey. After I return from Daning Kingdom, I will take my mother away. As for where we go, it has nothing to do with you. You have no right to interfere. As the king of a country, please don't break your promise."
Hearing this, Teng Gexiang's face darkened for a moment, and then he asked in a muffled voice:
"Do you really want to leave me? You are my only daughter. Do you know how much I have missed you all these years? I ran all the way to see you during the New Year, and yet you said such words to me. You...you really disappoint me."
Huang Yun felt a little ironic about these words. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly and replied with disdain:
"Thank you for remembering me, your daughter. However, you came here on New Year's Eve. Don't say you came here just to see me. You have other purposes. You know better than anyone. You didn't call me here to reminisce about the past, did you? If you have anything to say, just say it! It's so late, and if you don't worry about my safety, I am worried about it myself."
Teng Gexiang was once again speechless. He frowned and nodded angrily.
"Okay, let's get down to business. Have you met Leng Yun's child in private?"
Huang Yun nodded, "I have seen it."
"Well, you must make good use of this child. You can't waste this good chess piece."
