Chapter 234 The Battle for the Day
The intimacy was interrupted, and Shi Nuanyu tensed up suddenly, instinctively hiding under the covers.

Hua Lingyan groaned and exhaled heavily, protecting the waist of the person in her arms to signal her to relax. Then she turned her head and stared at Wei Cengshi, who appeared at the door, with a displeased expression.

"roll."

Anyone would get anxious if they were disturbed at a crucial moment.

Shi Nuanyu blushed with anxiety, shrinking into his arms and afraid to move. The more nervous she became, the more tense her body became, trying to stop the man who kept moving forward.

"You have not tried it yet, so you may leave now."

The boy on her body had a flushed face and was moving impatiently, regardless of the presence of a third person.

"Sister, please have pity on A-Ling."

Hua Lingyan hurriedly buried her head in the crook of her neck, protecting her tightly.

Provoked, the girl stepped forward, her face flushed with embarrassment. Still not satisfied, she pulled out a booklet from her pocket and pointed to the dates on it.

"Today is my turn to serve you in bed, you idiot! You've taken my day and you're telling me to get out?"

He rushed over after the meeting, only to find that the woman he longed for had been snatched away by someone else, who was even being intimate with him in front of him. He was both angry and aggrieved.

The Black and White Duo are right; if you don't fight for food, you won't get any.

Now is really not the time to discuss this issue, Shi Nuanyu said, her eyes reddening as she suppressed her joy and comforted Shi Nuanyu.

"You can go out now, before we try it. Tonight..."

Before she could finish speaking, her lips were sealed by the boy on top of her.

Hua Lingyan reluctantly uttered, "Change it tomorrow."

After that, he ignored the things he had never tried and held his lover's face beneath him in tender embrace.

Shi Nuanyu felt dizzy for a moment, and she was afraid she wouldn't see the sun rise tomorrow if this continued.

The night was dimly lit, with the wind and rain pattering softly. I drifted off to sleep in the dim candlelight.

When she woke up again, it was noon the next day. Shi Nuanyu woke up groggily, and the soreness in her waist made her feel very uncomfortable.

"After a ridiculous night, I've finally woken up."

The grass and trees along the road moved backward, and when I looked up, the man's handsome face came into view.

"Shan Baiyu, how did we end up on horseback?"

Before she fell into a deep sleep yesterday, she seemed to hear Ah Shi arguing about who had taken over his time for a few days and who had left him without his help for a few days. After that, she knew nothing more.

Dan Baiyu tightened his arms around her, holding her even closer, and felt a pang of sadness as his gaze swept over the marks on her neck.

Knowing the outcome all along, I still couldn't resist wanting more, suppressing the bitterness in my heart and trying my best to keep my breathing steady.

"Nuan Nuan is returning to Kyoto tomorrow. They were kind enough to let us go today, so I'll stay with her."

With that, he spurred his horse onward, eager to reach his destination.

Shi Nuanyu was extremely shocked and blinked hard. Was this the "accompanying" she understood?
My heart was pounding and I was in a panic. I pretended to be exhausted and leaned against him to rest.

Seeing this, Shan Baiyu's ears turned bright red, but he showed no intention of letting go of her waist.

Although they were running on a country road, an ambiguous and awkward atmosphere permeated the area around them. A cool breeze swept by, but it couldn't dispel the heat in their hearts.

"I'm so angry!"

His loud roar startled the mountain birds in the distant forest, and he covered his bruises with indignation.

Hua Lingyan, standing to the side, was also fuming, her face bearing just as many bruises as if she had never tried.

"You idiot, what's the use of you staring at me? You should be watching Shan Baiyu and Tao Huiyan. Look at the situation now..."

He didn't even try to feel the pain, and not only did he lose his chance to serve the emperor, he also got a beating.

"Oops..."

Sitting in the chair, Tao Huiyan contentedly added Shan Baiyu's days to her own name.

"General Shan's move was not a loss; he killed two people and lost three, so it's a draw."

Judging from their actions, apart from Shan Baiyu today, only he and Wei Zengshi remain unchanged. If unexpected complications arise in the future, wouldn't he lose his chance to compete?

Tao Huiyan smiled on the surface, but her mind was racing with calculations.

The imperial examinations are tomorrow after he returns to Kyoto, and he needs to take them before then…

Despite the passing days, his expression remained unchanged, his indifferent eyes fixed on the medical text. During this rescue mission in various villages in northern Xinjiang, he diagnosed unfamiliar ailments, unable to discern any other thoughts in his mind.

Qinghe smiled gently, his every gesture exuding elegance. He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and slowly spoke, “The trip to the Northern Frontier has come to an end. I trouble you all to return to your positions today.”

Tao Huiyan's gaze faltered for a second before returning to normal. "Isn't the Imperial Advisor going back with us?"

Before Qinghe could reply, she got up and straightened her clothes, which had been wrinkled from sitting.

"I will be staying in the northern frontier for a while longer, so I won't see you off."

The mere thought of monopolizing business in northern Xinjiang filled him with uncontrollable excitement.

Tao Huiyan left, and Hua Lingyan silently followed. It seemed that his sister hadn't been satisfied with his service yesterday, so he was determined to learn a thing or two.

Feeling extremely frustrated, Wei had no desire to stay with the two brothers, so he reluctantly followed them out.

"You little idiot, wait for me."

He will one day reclaim all the days he has lost that he has been able to serve the emperor.

Seeing that everyone had left, Qinghe withdrew his gaze and looked at Fusheng, who was still flipping through medical books.

"Is there any progress?"

The Emperor and Empress's words from that night were still vivid in his mind: when the time came, he would not have to abide by the agreement, and at that time, no one would be able to spy on that bright moon anymore.

Fusheng paused in his reading, then replied indifferently without looking up, "No, the Frost Poison is difficult to cure."

As twins, they have many things in common, but the only difference is that he considers himself more rational than his brother.

"Brother, don't do something you'll regret."

He closed the medical classic, stood up, and left calmly.

The smile in Qinghe's eyes did not diminish. He calmly picked up the teacup and drank the tea, which had already gone cold. The coolness of the tea seeped into his body as it entered his stomach.

Silly brother, Mingyue is so wonderful, they can't bear to give her up.

Once the real enemy is dealt with, that matter should be put on the agenda.

A flicker of amusement crossed Qinghe's eyes as he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve.

"Go and send a message to the Crown Prince of Beilin."

He wanted to see how those people would sleep soundly.

In the far north, the court was rife with intrigue and turmoil. Court officials began to take sides in order to protect themselves or preserve their wealth and status, while a few remained neutral.

The number of people supporting the crown prince and the second prince was evenly split, and for a time, undercurrents were surging in the Northern Lin court.

The second prince was running himself ragged trying to win over more people, while Yu Changfeng spent his days leisurely feeding fish in his mansion.

After a while, Wu Liang hurriedly ran to the courtyard to report, "Your Highness, the King has summoned you to the palace."

Yu Changfeng's smiling eyes suddenly darkened, and he casually placed the fish food aside.

"That old man is still alive. Is it because he hasn't taken enough pills, or because he hasn't received enough gifts from beauties?"

One sentence sent chills down the spine of the unscrupulous man: just a few days ago, the Second Prince sent over countless beauties, who were then immediately sent to the palace by the Crown Prince.

There are probably countless beauties in the palace now.

He remained silent, too terrified to speak, for in his heart His Highness the Crown Prince was the rightful ruler of Beilin.

Yu Changfeng calmly sat back down in his chair, showing no intention of rushing to the palace.

"What did you find out?"

Wu Liang replied respectfully, "I heard that it was the Second Prince who suggested a marriage alliance between Bei Lin and Dong Chen. The marriage partners are Your Highness and Princess Fu Le, and Princess Fu Le is already on her way to the marriage."

He spoke every word without missing a single one, but in his heart he felt sorry for Princess Fule, who was being used as a tool and sent around.

"It's that little girl."

Yu Changfeng could figure out the reason after a little thought. Although he had secretly gone to Tao Mansion to spend time alone with Nuannuan during Nanyue, a thorough investigation could reveal the reason.

His second brother was deliberately trying to make things difficult for him. That pig-brain could come up with such a plan; someone must have been devising it behind the scenes.

"Tell that old man that I have an incurable disease that causes impotence, and tell him to find someone else."

Although the excuse was absurd and illogical, the unscrupulous man knew that His Highness the Crown Prince would definitely cause a great uproar in order to achieve his goal.

The news that His Highness the Crown Prince will not be able to perform tomorrow will spread by word of mouth.
