Chapter 153 - 120: His Darling娇娇
The sky grew darker, and the pitch-black night gradually enveloped the entire earth.
Outside, the night was as cool as water, the bright silver moonlight draped like pure silver, while inside, spring was warm and flowers were in full bloom.
The fragrance of plum blossoms was refreshing, and Yelyu Lie frowned tightly, his deep and dark eyes shimmering brilliantly.
His gaze was like that of a wolf, fixated on prey seemingly within reach, yet his smile was so warm, as if ice and snow melted into the same hue of the earth, cherishing his little darling in his heart.
"My Nuannuan."
He looked at the person in front of him as if seeing a delicious little lamb, while he was just a useless big bad wolf. After painstakingly dragging it out of the sheepfold, he bit down, only for his teeth to break!
He could only watch the little lamb bounce around in front of him, flaunting, and even mocking him!
And he had no solution whatsoever!
The young girl gradually began to feel scared...
A pair of soft, tender little hands nervously groped around.
Suddenly, she touched something hard, like parchment, under the pillow.
With eyes turning red, Yun Chunnuan glanced at that thing, murmuring softly with a nasal sound, "Yelyu..."
As soon as her soft voice came out.
It was interrupted, "Husband!"
The man with dark green eyes corrected in a low and hoarse voice.
"Hu...husband... calm down! I... I have something to tell you..."
How could Yelyu Lie calm down at this moment?!
But since his little darling said there was something, especially at this moment, it must be something big!
Yelyu Lie struggled to steady his heavy breathing, "Speak! Quickly!"
He only saw his obedient little darling lick her lips and suddenly say, "Eternal chill, all things are silent, the heart desires calm, I wish to be alone, mind and spirit united, breath should follow, interspersed as if spare, unchanged in ten thousand changes, neither foolish nor angry, without desire or pursuit, without giving and forsaking..."
Yelyu Lie: "?!"
"What scripture are you reciting?"
"Just...it’s a scripture! Do you understand the ’Heart Clarity Spell’? As the Mighty General of Bianliao Country, you must always remember that everything is empty, and you must not indulge in female charms."
After the dark green eyes became suspicious, he sneaked a glance at the parchment in the small hand of his little darling.
He pulled it out from under the pillow, flipped through it, and his already dark complexion seemed to worsen.
With a low growl, he yanked the thing out directly.
Intending to tear it apart, but was stopped by his little darling.
"To hell with the ’Heart Clarity Spell’! Today, I’m going to indulge in the charms of women!"
After that, the Barbarian General did not appear again.
Yun Chunnuan closed her eyes heavy with sleep and slept until the evening.
Upon waking, Qiao’er asked politely at the door if she wanted a bath now.
Yun Chunnuan indeed wanted a bath, and when the hot water was quickly delivered, she thought it was just a coincidence that Aunt Ye boiled water at dinner time.
But Qiao’er said, "Not at all! We maids already had dinner long ago, it was the General who instructed Aunt Ye to keep hot bath water ready, so you could bathe whenever the Princess woke up.
The General also said he had some matters to attend to and might return late, instructing you to sleep first, but assured that no matter how late it was, he would definitely return so you wouldn’t worry."
She didn’t dare to say more, nor did she dare to ask, only secretly observing while constantly speaking good words for the General.
Afraid the Little Princess would be so angry, she would escape again!
Qiao’er grew more and more fond of the Little Princess, to the point she didn’t even want to marry anymore! She just wanted to stay by the Princess’s side for life!
But today, it seemed she caused trouble...
Yun Chunnuan sighed lightly upon hearing this.
He might return after she falls asleep, only to leave before she wakes up.
What happened today, not only did she not want to face, but he even more so didn’t want to face.
The two of them had been so heartbroken before, and except for the fact that she wasn’t a time traveler, she had said almost everything.
Today, they just barely...
With watery eyes, she glanced at the flustered young girl in front of her, "Qiao’er, there’s no need to blame yourself, today’s matter has nothing to do with you, just remember to be more cautious in the future, never to be exploited by others again."
Qiao’er nodded repeatedly, "I know! From now on I will be wary of ill-intentioned people! But Princess, are you and the General really alright? Will you be alright in the future?"
Because on the Little Princess, the loose robe she wore slipped to her elbow.
Unexpectedly, their Great General was so ’terrifying’!
She couldn’t imagine how the General, who doted on the Princess so much, could bear to ’bully’ her?
Yun Chunnuan hurriedly lifted the fallen robe, blushing, "No problem, don’t overthink. By the way, how’s Lian Qiao doing? Any news on the cause of death of that Holy Daughter?"
She quickly changed the subject, but saw Qiao’er’s serious face, "Second Aunt woke up, but she was trying to harm herself. If it weren’t for that Central Plains Doctor giving her some medicinal powder, she would still be causing trouble now... Her face, I’m afraid, is beyond saving... Princess, you don’t know how much Second Aunt cares about her face.
The man who harmed Second Aunt said that her face was as white as snow, all because she used milk mixed with pearls every day to make her skin as fair and delicate as the Princess’s; little did she know, instead of whitening, it... harmed herself.
Second Aunt is foolish, thinking she owed the Princess for previously poisoning her, so when that person approached her claiming to be the Princess, Second Aunt, who was skilled, paid no heed, being used to being in charge at the General Mansion. Who knew she would fall victim like this..."
Qiao’er described Lian Qiao’s miserable situation, all because of her Princess, her eyes unknowingly reddening.
Yun Chunnuan listened, feeling uneasy in her heart.
Considering visiting her, but recalled that the Barbarian General insisted on accompanying her to do so...
"What about the cause of the Holy Daughter’s death? Why poison me?"
Qiao’er shook her head, "That, I don’t know... Oh, Wu’er was taken away today, no one in the mansion dares to serve Second Aunt, these past two days, it’s been that Central Plains Doctor taking care of her.
Princess, you don’t know how obnoxious he is! He extorted two hundred taels of silver from the General! Two hundred taels! My God, the General Mansion must be cleaned out by that wretched doctor! A hundred taels a day for care!
I was thinking of saving some money for the General by taking care of Second Aunt for two days myself, then finding a maid to replace, but the General refused, saying that not a single person caring for the Princess in this courtyard should be reassigned! Even when so ’poor’..."
Qiao’er pouted, and every time she thought of the two hundred taels silver extorted from the General, her heart ached.
But her soft little hand suddenly knocked on her head, "Don’t badmouth my husband! He’s not poor, just frugal! Also, you actually thought about going to serve at Lian Qiao’s place? Wow Qiao’er, having second thoughts?"
Qiao’er could tell the Princess was joking, so she wasn’t flustered, just teasing, "Princess used to call the General a stinky barbarian, now you call him husband, seems like..."
The little girl’s gaze was ambiguous, scanning the Little Princess all over.
Yun Chunnuan, exasperated, wanted to slap her, but the little girl ran to the door.
Given her disheveled state of dress, she was unfit to chase after.
So she stood angrily before the bathtub, saying to the little girl at the door, "Go see what the General is doing, and if it’s not important, tell him I urgently need to see him, to return quickly."
Yun Chunnuan only thought that their matters must be calmly and clearly discussed.
She forgot... she still needed to bathe...
