Yue Chan Juan's body was covered in sweat as she tiredly lay in the middle of Tuoba Fei's arms. Tuoba Fei pulled the blanket over Yue Chan's body and gently embraced her.
"Your highness is sending troops to repel Lou Lan?"
"If you have nothing else, you will not send someone to invite This King."
"Your highness is busy, if you have the time, you will naturally come. How could your concubine dare to disturb your highness so often?"
Yue Chan's tone was slightly sour. She had no relationship with Tuoba Fei at all. Although they already had Tuoba Fei's flesh and blood, they still had no relationship with him and it was not appropriate for her to invite him over often.
"When did you invite This King here without any business?"
"Your highness is busy with the affairs of the kingdom and has countless concubines at home. Your concubine can't attend to you now, if you dare to disturb your highness."
Tuoba Fei smiled. "Is that so?"
Yue Chan hugged Tuoba Fei's waist tightly. "Chenqie wishes so much that I could be by your side everyday. But chenqie also knows that this is impossible. Your highness would visit Chenqie every few days. Chenqie is already very satisfied, how can I dare to expect too much? "
That low and helpless voice carried an indescribable softness that made Tuoba Fei's heart soften.
"It's only a matter of time before we send troops, Lou Lan. Moreover, for this matter, the Grand Kang has already sent many military supplies, fodder and other items far surpassing what is needed to subdue Lou Lan."
"Your highness wants to eliminate Lou Lan?"
"What do you think?"
"Chenqie is ignorant. Your highness has already made arrangements. Chenqie requests Your highness to enlighten me."
Yue Chan shifted her gaze towards Tuoba Fei's handsome and elegant face, becoming more and more respectful and submissive in front of him. He was her man, her monarch, and even though he was not alone in this matter yet, she believed that one day, that lofty position would belong to this man before her.
"How dare you put on an act in front of me? You should know that you don't have to pretend to be stupid in front of me.
"Hehe, chenqie is really a little muddle-headed right now. I don't want to think too much into it. Prince, why bother with chenqie?"
"Just because of your stomach, I'll let you off."
Tuoba Fei gently placed his head on Yue Chanjuan's stomach to listen carefully. Suddenly, his belly swelled up as if there was something inside of it. He lightly touched Tuoba Fei's face.
"Haha, this little guy is kicking me."
He had already had a few children. However, like now, he could only feel the movements of his fetus a few times by pressing his face against his own woman's belly. These few times, they were all placed on Yue Chan's stomach.
"Perhaps the little guy sensed the arrival of his father, and was greeting the prince."
Yue Chanjuan's face was filled with the gentle glow of a mother. She did not want to ask any more questions, she only wanted to enjoy this moment of peace and happiness to her heart's content.
Now, she was finally going to have a child of her own. Having a descendant was the continuation of her life.
"Chan Juan, before long, your son will be born. You don't have to worry about anything anymore."
"Yes, chenqie follows the order. With your highness here, chenqie has no need to worry."
Yue Chan leaned into Tuoba Fei's embrace. Smelling the comforting scent in his embrace, she unconsciously fell asleep.
Tuoba Fei smiled gently as he looked deeply at Yue Chan Juan's dimples and her protruding belly. He hugged Yue Chan and let her fall asleep in his arms.
"Prince …"
A soft call sounded out, letting Tuoba Fei understand that there was an urgent matter for him to attend to. Otherwise, no one would dare to disturb him every time he stopped at Yue Chanjuan's place.
He gently pulled out his arm. His arm was already a little sore, so he covered Yue Chan with a blanket and fox fur coat. Seeing that fiery red fox fur coat, Tuoba Fei's heart warmed. The crabapple pear was lonely because it had already been given to her as a mink fur coat, but she had always used this fur coat that he gave her.
The Wu Lan sisters entered. After kneeling down and kowtowing, they carefully waited on Tuoba Fei as he put on his clothes and shoes. Tuoba Fei stood up and walked towards the door. The two of them knelt on the ground and respectfully saw him out the door.
"Your Highness."
Asuna and the Sumeru soldiers bowed, their hearts filled with bitterness. The man in their hearts was their master's daughter, and their only consolation was that they would be able to catch a glimpse of her from time to time.
In this way, it was already sufficient for the two of them.
"Your Highness, I have an urgent military report for you."
"Bring it here."
The Sumeru Army soldiers handed them over and Tuoba Fei walked out of the barracks to board the carriage. Only then did he open it and take a careful look.
"Sumeru soldier, have you completed the task I instructed you to do?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, this servant has already followed Your Highness's orders, I absolutely do not dare to let anything go wrong. Otherwise, this servant will go to Jingze and supervise this matter."
Tuoba Fei gently closed his eyes. The Xumi Army didn't dare to say anything else as they knelt down beside Tuoba Fei's feet, awaiting his orders.
"It's a matter of respect. Someone is taking care of it, there's no need for you to go."
"Yes."
"Huntress, your impetuous aura has not been completely removed. You have not dealt with the matters in the northern border well."
Tuoba Fei indifferently threw the military information in his hands at Asuna's face. "Look for yourself."
Ashi took the report in fear. He glanced at it for a few moments before bowing deeply at Tuoba Fei's feet. "This servant deserves to die. I failed to accomplish what the king ordered me to do. Please bestow punishment upon me."
"Your impetuous and arrogant temperament, after so many rounds of training, you still refuse to remove it. But, is This King too lenient with you?"
"Servants deserve to die, your highness, please calm your anger."
Ashes heavily kowtowed, not daring to look up at Tuoba Fei.
"Sumeru army, it's inconvenient for you to interfere in matters of respect. After all, you are the leader of the Xumi Clan."
"This slave is only the prince's slave, and will do as the prince commands."
"I need you to personally take care of the matter regarding Lou Lan's expedition this time. I want you to make the arrangements before the army does."
"Yes, your servant obeys your order to bid farewell to Your Highness."
"Keep an eye on Lou Lan. Report any news at all times."
"Yes, your servant obeys."
The Sumeru soldier kowtowed, pushed open the door of the carriage and jumped out. He then mounted a horse and galloped away.
Ashes knelt down in fear at Tuoba Fei's feet. "My lord, please be merciful and allow this servant to go to the northern border. I will definitely settle this matter well, and when I return, I will ask you to punish this servant."
"Go. If you don't properly control your impetuous arrogance, don't blame This King for punishing you severely."
"Yes, this servant will remember your highness's lesson, and will never dare to delay your highness' matter again."
"Go. Hurry up and come back. Remember not to reveal your identity."
"Yes, it's all your servant's fault. Your servant will definitely return as soon as possible."
