Chapter 192 - Returning to Xiongnu Tribe
Chapter 192: Chapter 192, Returning to Xiongnu Tribe
He Chuan was lying on a rocking chair in the Library Pavilion. He had tea in one hand and a book in the other, enjoying a short and beautiful day.
Because he was returning to Xiongnu Tribe the next day, he didn’t know when he would be able to enjoy himself like this again.
However, tonight would probably be very busy because Empress Changning was sitting at the side, reviewing the memorials. She had to squeeze He Chuan dry in the limited time.
“There is nothing to worry about in this world, but people’s hearts are often disturbed!” He Chuan said slowly.
“I didn’t expect Husband even to know poetry.” Since last night’s in-depth exchange, Changning had called him Husband.
He Chuan didn’t care about how she addressed him. Whether it was Little Eunuch He, Master, or Husband, they were all just titles. Moreover, they had already done it as husband and wife.
“I don’t know anything. I want to wander and see more. This world is far more wonderful than I imagined.” He stretched lazily. As expected, this kind of life suited him better.
The world’s troubles were too dull.
“Since you like this kind of life, why don’t you want to stay? I promise that no one will disturb you. I can also come over to rest occasionally. Let’s work hard to have a few more children and choose a boy to continue the He Family’s lineage.” Changning walked to He Chuan’s side with the memorial in her hand and lay in his arms.
She felt the warm embrace of the man she loved and was reluctant to part with him.
“When I’m tired, I’ll naturally come back here. The gods and devils are a threat after all.” He Chuan tightened his grip on Changning’s delicate body. Staying in the palace of his own accord was definitely different from staying in the palace because of others.
He didn’t like to be bound. As for having more children to inherit the family line, he didn’t even exist here.
He was not a person in this world and would not stay here. It was not a problem whether he had someone to offer him any incense or not.
“Then let’s hurry up and get down to business!” Changning wasn’t embarrassed at all. There were no outsiders here anyway, so she took He Chuan’s hand and walked into the room.
He Chuan shivered, not sure if it was an illusion. He felt that he had to pay the price.
…
People had their own joys and sorrows, and the moon had its ups and downs.
Princess Changning gently stroked her lower abdomen and looked at the white clouds in the sky.
She had asked the Imperial Physician and found that there was a high chance of getting pregnant in the next two days. However, He Chuan’s departure still made her sad.
He Chuan had spent the entire day rushing back to the Xiongnu Tribe on the grassland.
“Young Master, you’re back!” Cai Lian, who was gnawing on a beef leg, raised her head and said in surprise.
She knew that He Chuan’s return meant that the matter with the Great Zhou Dynasty had been resolved.
“Did anything happen in the grassland?” He Chuan slowly sat on the chair and asked about the Xiongnu Tribe’s situation over the past two days.
“There is indeed something big. The First Prince suddenly became a half-step saint cultivator, and most of the Xiongnu forces are on his side. The Eldest Princess and the Third Prince came to find you twice, but I sent them away.” Cai Lian wiped her greasy mouth and began to explain the recent situation.
The First Prince’s breakthrough into a half-step saint cultivator was within He Chuan’s expectations.
With the help of the mysterious Imperial Advisor, it would be very easy to break through.
He just didn’t know if the First Prince would be like Qarhan Buroq, who would lose his mind if he overused his strength.
In comparison, the person behind the scenes who taught Lana was stronger.
As such, there was more than one god in the Xiongnu Tribe.
Would there be any conflicts between gods and devils?
The “Anecdote of Qizhou” was too one-sided.
However, it would be solved sooner or later. Now, he only needed to support Lia to take the throne, and the people hiding behind the scenes would jump out.
“It seems that the Eldest Princess and the Third Prince can’t sit still anymore. I wonder if someone will die!” He Chuan touched his smooth chin. It was a good thing that Lia had recently taken the pill and gone into seclusion.
She could be temporarily removed from the battle, and when the outcome of the battle between the First Prince, the Eldest Princess, and the Third Prince was decided, Lia would then intervene. He Chuan didn’t want to expose his existence too early. The god that left his aura on him wasn’t in Xiongnu, which meant that he had a higher status.
He needed to figure out the specific situation first.
Speak of the devil. The Third Prince came to find him again and happened to meet the Eldest Princess.
The two siblings didn’t even greet each other.
From this, it could be seen that the battle had already reached the point of white heat.
“Greetings to the Eldest Princess and the Third Prince.” Cai Lian politely greeted them and then served them tea.
After all, the Central Plains had been a state of etiquette since ancient times. Although these two siblings were a little annoying, they were still guests, and there was no reason to neglect them.
“Master He Chuan, you’ve been in seclusion for two days. I’m sure you’ve made great progress.” The Eldest Princess had a devilish figure, a high nose bridge, blue eyes, a white neck, and skin as smooth as jade. Her waist was like a water snake, and her curves were extremely alluring.
It seemed that she had dressed up carefully.
As she spoke, she kept winking at He Chuan. As long as this man was willing to bow down to her, she didn’t mind giving up her body.
“Vixen! You’re shameless!” Cai Lian cursed in her heart.
“I heard that Master He Chuan likes beautiful women, so I specially chose a pair of twins. They are the best in both appearance and figure. As long as I could have a word with Master He Chuan, they will be sent over tonight.” The Third Prince was not to be outdone, and he also used beauty to seduce him.
He Chuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. If he had known this would happen, he would have pretended to be greedy. The gold and silver would have been of some use.
Now that everyone in the Xiongnu Tribe knew about this, it would be difficult to change his lecherous image.
Cai Lian, of course, knew what kind of person He Chuan was. Seeing her Young Master’s dark expression, she tried her best not to laugh.
“It’s a pity that I encountered some problems during my closed-door cultivation. Recently, I’ve been feeling that I have the will but not the strength. I need more rest.” He Chuan quickly changed the topic.
Whether it was the Eldest Princess or the beautiful twins, he had no interest in them.
Even if he was interested, he wouldn’t accept them, because accepting them meant that he was willing to jump ship to their side.
He had his own principles, and since he wanted to help Lia rise to power, he would not change his goal.
The Eldest Princess and the Third Prince would definitely be able to hear such obvious words of sending the guest off.
“Hmph, so what if you’re half-step away from the peak of the saint cultivator realm? That wretched girl, Lia, will never be able to take the position. I hope you won’t regret your choice today.” The third Prince left without looking back.
In the face of such a meaningless threat, He Chuan’s heart did not waver at all. He even wondered how this kind of person had the confidence to compete for the throne.
“I don’t think Master He Chuan will be angry with the pig, right? Why don’t we work together first, get rid of the First Prince, this obstacle, and then compete fairly?” The Eldest Princess took a step back and wanted to cooperate.
Now that the First Prince had become a half-step saint cultivator, Tetumtan would definitely be more inclined toward his son.
The scales of victory had tilted, so cooperation was the best way.
“Eldest Princess, you’ve asked the wrong person. This has nothing to do with me. I’m just a teacher who taught Lia Kung Fu.” He Chuan took a sip of tea. He didn’t directly refuse, nor did he agree.
As for whether or not they should work together to get rid of the First Prince, that was something Lia and the Eldest Princess needed to consider.
He would not waste his brain cells to participate.
