Seeing the surprise on Yu Qinghan’s pretty face, Zhao Huai smiled and said, “Perhaps it’s because of Madam’s guidance. Before, I was struggling to get started, but now it’s much simpler.”
Yu Qinghan nodded at his words.
Her husband’s words made sense; having someone to guide him would indeed greatly increase the success rate.
Next, Yu Qinghan looked at Zhao Huai with a sincere gaze and instructed:
“Qi travels through the meridians and gathers in the pubic region, which means husband has broken through to the first level of refining qi and has officially embarked on the path of cultivation. From now on, you must diligently practice and not slack off.”
“I understand, I will work hard in my cultivation.”
Zhao Huai nodded solemnly, then smiled and touched her serious face:
“Otherwise, how can I grow old together with Madam?”
Yu Qinghan’s cheeks flushed, her eyes full of gentleness, and she softly said:
“When did my husband’s words become so sweet?”
“As long as my wife enjoys hearing it.”
Zhao Huai could not resist leaning closer as he looked at the delicate face before him.
“Why not now...”
“Boom boom!”
Just as they were engaged in their intimate conversation, an untimely, urgent knock came from outside, as if some significant matter had occurred.
“Unbelievable, it had to happen right now.”
Zhao Huai muttered, his train of thought disrupted.
Yu Qinghan, covering her mouth with a smile, urged, “Alright, go on.”
“Fine, I’ll go open the door.”
Zhao Huai spoke, then stood up and walked towards the door.
With a dead fish eye, he impatiently opened the bolt.
Once the door was opened, however, the person he saw was somewhat unexpected.
“Brother Yan, what’s the matter?”
Zhao Huai was surprised, as the doctor, Yan Jing, was standing at his door with a serious expression.
“There’s been an incident.” Yan Jing said solemnly.
“What happened?”
“My Princess, do you really want to teach Young Master Zhao cultivation? He is already quite old, and I estimate it will consume a lot of resources.”
“It is worth the expense. Even if I have to spend all my pills, I will assist him in his cultivation.”
Yu Qinghan accepted the panacea and replied seriously.
The maid sighed softly, “Sigh, Young Master Zhao is really lucky to have married such a virtuous wife as the Princess. If the veteran generals in the army saw this, they would be dumbstruck.”
“Alright, if there’s nothing else, you may leave.”
The maid asked, “Princess, since your father’s old wounds have recurred, won’t you go back to see him?”
“Father is sick again?”
Yu Qinghan furrowed her brow, a trace of concern in her eyes.
“Yes, he has been bedridden for three days now. The imperial physician said it’s a relapse of the hidden injury he sustained on the battlefield.
Yu Qinghan scoffed, “When did they both become so understanding? Back when the kingdom was first established, they argued ceaselessly over their fiefs.”
“This servant does not know. After all, the Crown Prince has been staying by His Majesty’s bedside day and night, showing great filial piety. Even the civil and military officials are praising him.”
“Well, then, let him take care of it. He can use this opportunity to show his filial piety.”
Yu Qinghan spoke indifferently.
The maid helplessly said, “Yes, understood. This servant will take her leave.”
With a ‘whoosh,’ her figure leaped up and passed through the skylight, disappearing into the night.
“Madam, I’m back.”
From outside the bedroom door came Zhao Huai’s voice.
Yu Qinghan pulled open the skylight and, carrying the medicinal herbs, walked out the door, asking:
“Husband, what was it?”
Zhao Huai explained, “A friend came to deliver a message, saying there was a murder tonight. It must have been the work of a demon, so he advised me to be careful.’
In reality, he was very clear that it could not have been the work of a demon. He said this only as an explanation for his wife.
“Madam, what’s that in your hand?”
Zhao Huai suddenly noticed the bundle of herbs in Yu Qinghan’s hand and couldn’t help asking curiously.
Yu Qinghan smiled and explained, “These are the medicinal herbs I selected for my husband. They can temper the body and speed up the refinement of spiritual qi. For someone at your current level, the effects would be significant.”
“Don’t worry, it won’t cost much, and you don’t need to worry. Although my dowry isn’t much, it’s more than enough to buy you medicine.”
Upon hearing this, although Zhao Huai was momentarily stunned, he felt deeply moved and tenderly said:
“Madam, you are truly wonderful.”
“Let me reward you properly.”
