Chapter 424 The wife I married wasn't a dairy cow.
Duolan fell off her horse, but Yelü Mingyao was displeased and spurred her horse forward, saying:
"Qiu Ziyue, return Duolan's life."
Qiu Ziyue couldn't see, so she pulled on the reins to try to move forward, but Qi Yuxuan held her tightly and she couldn't move.
Qi Yuxuan gestured to Zhao Wanqing with his eyes.
Zhao Wanqing spurred his horse forward and said, "You, Yelü Mingyao, are you good?"
"I'll show you what you've got today, without Qiu Ziyue lifting a finger."
When Yelü Mingyao saw Zhao Wanqing blocking her way, she immediately shouted:
"Qiu Ziyue, do you think you're perfect? You've been blinded this time. It seems even the heavens aren't letting you off the hook. You coward, come and fight me one-on-one."
Qiu Ziyue angrily said:
"Yelu Mingyao, I haven't settled the score with you for insulting my husband last time."
Now you're looking for death again. Let my sister, Miss Zhao, teach you a lesson first.
Yelü Mingyao was furious and confronted Zhao Wanqing.
Knowing he was no match for her, Yelü Mingyao turned and fled, riding away and declaring:
"Qiu Ziyue, I'll let you off this time, but I won't let this go."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Langyu said to Yelü Abaoji:
"Yelü Khan, Qiu is Ziyue's senior brother. Today, as his family..."
"Take her home and ask Yelü Khan to stop fighting and obstructing us."
Then, Qiu Ziyue said:
"Yuxuan, Cunxu, friends, let's go."
Yelü Abaoji nodded slightly.
At this moment, Amu caught up with Qiu Ziyue.
"Miss Twilight Sparkle, these are silver needles that the eldest prince asked me to deliver. Please accept them."
"No, I don't want to owe him too much of a favor. Thank you," Qiu Ziyue said.
"Miss Qiu, what are you saying? This is something I was willing to give you, and besides, your eyes..."
"If not treated in time, there is a risk of blindness," Yelü Bei said.
"So be it, I don't want to owe anyone too many favors anyway. Goodbye."
Qiu Ziyue patted Qi Yuxuan's hand: "Yuxuan, take me home quickly, I feel so tired."
"Alright, my wife, I'll take you home now," Qi Yuxuan said, pulling on the reins and riding away.
Li Cunxu, Qiu Langyu, and the others also left one after another.
It was getting late, and everyone was tired and exhausted, so they found an inn to stay in for the time being.
The night was deep, the candlelight flickered, and a faint medicinal fragrance filled the room.
Qiu Ziyue leaned against the headboard, her eyes filled with worry and unease.
Li Cunxu looked into Qiu Ziyue's eyes and said softly:
"Fortunately, no vital organs were damaged, but he needs to rest. I'll pick out a few good prescriptions to use."
His voice was deep and warm, like a warm fire in winter, dispelling the chill in Qiu Ziyue's heart.
The moonlight was like water. Qiu Ziyue hugged Qi Yuxuan and asked in a low voice:
"My lord, last time that Yelü Mingyao tried to take liberties with you."
Isn't she hotter than me? Aren't you tempted?"
Her words carried a hint of jealousy, yet also a touch of insecurity.
Qi Yuxuan was taken aback for a moment, then understood what she was thinking, and smiled as he gently pinched the tip of her nose:
"You're always overthinking things! Did Leng Feng gossip about you again?"
Listen carefully, you'll always be the most important person in my heart. At that time, I had my eyes closed, I couldn't see anything!
Qiu Ziyue lowered her eyes, her voice slightly choked:
"But... Yu Xuan, I'm not perfect. I'm flat-chested and not very curvy."
"Besides, I've already had a child, isn't my figure out of shape? Do you still want me?"
Qi Yuxuan laughed upon hearing this, reached out and pulled her into his arms, his tone extremely doting:
"Fool, how many times have I told you—I love you for who you are, who cares about whether you're curvy or not?"
I married a wife, not a dairy cow! Besides, in my eyes, you're a fairy, understand?
Qiu Ziyue was amused by him and stopped crying while laughing, saying coquettishly:
"You're just making fun of me!"
"Over the years, you've led me astray,"
Qi Yuxuan blinked. "But I like it."
Time passed slowly, and the atmosphere inside the room became increasingly warm and inviting.
Looking at Qiu Ziyue's slightly tired appearance, Qi Yuxuan said softly:
"It's late, my wife, you should go to sleep."
However, Qiu Ziyue pouted and said with a wronged expression:
"You still dare to talk! Are you disgusted with me now? You don't even want to kiss me anymore. Do you think I'm blind?"
Qi Yuxuan was both amused and exasperated, and ruffled her hair:
"How can you think so much, you she-devil? I told you to go to sleep first."
"I'm just worried about you being tired, there's no question of me complaining. If anyone should complain, it's you who should complain about me."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Ziyue blushed and lowered her head shyly.
A moment later, she mustered her courage and took the initiative to approach Qi Yuxuan, gently kissing his lips.
This move startled Qi Yuxuan slightly, but he responded even more enthusiastically.
The two lowered the curtain, shutting out all the noise from the outside world.
In the quiet of the night, they expressed their deep affection and longing for each other in their own way.
Amidst tender emotions, the rites of marriage unfold slowly, needing no words, only the deepest resonance of the soul...
Meanwhile, Li Cunxu, in the next room, was filled with mixed emotions.
Hearing the soft moans coming from the intimate interaction between Qi Yuxuan and Qiu Ziyue, he plugged his ears with cotton cloth.
He was jealous and angry.
He grew angrier the more he thought about it, and suddenly sat up, went to the table, and started drinking alone.
He thought to himself, "It was all Zhu Wen's fault for ruining things last time. Otherwise, Ziyue and I would have consummated our marriage. I'll make sure to destroy him in the future!"
Without realizing it, he crushed the wine glass in his hand and then threw it away violently.
"Bala"
A crisp sound shattered the passion between Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan.
“Yu Xuan, Cun Xu,”
"Ignore him, let's continue."
Qiu Ziyue blushed and bit Qi Yuxuan's shoulder, too embarrassed to make a sound.
The next morning, Qiu Ziyue woke up and vaguely saw Qi Yuxuan sleeping soundly beside her.
A happy smile appeared on his lips.
At this moment, all doubts and anxieties vanished, leaving only endless sweetness and satisfaction.
Last night, everyone except Li Cunxu slept well.
When everyone saw Li Cunxu with dark circles under his eyes, they covered their mouths and chuckled.
Upon noticing this, Li Cunxu shouted:
"What are you laughing at? What's so funny?"
No one paid him any attention.
After breakfast, we finally embarked on our journey back to Jinyang.
Along the way, the sun shone on the earth, and a gentle breeze blew the snow off the trees, bringing a touch of coolness and freshness.
Qiu Ziyue, Qi Yuxuan, and Li Cunxu sat in the carriage.
Although his face was still pale, his spirits were much better than before.
They hadn't gone far when suddenly dust billowed ahead, and the sound of rapid hoofbeats approached from afar.
Everyone immediately became alert, placing their hands on the hilts of their knives in preparation for any unexpected situation.
However, as the two horses drew closer, the crowd realized that the newcomers were Yelü Bei and Amu.
"Yelü Bei!"
Li Cunxu was the first to shout, his tone tinged with surprise.
Yelü Bei reined in his horse and stopped a few steps away from the group.
He stood tall and straight, his gaze steady, while Amu beside him remained silent, only nodding in greeting.
"Why are you here?"
The group paused their journey, dismounted, and inquired.
Yelü Bei took out a delicate silver needle from his bosom and handed it to Qiu Ziyue.
“Qiu Ziyue, since Tu is determined to give it away, I have no reason to take it back.”
His voice was deep and gentle.
"I hope Miss Qiu recovers soon."
Qiu Ziyue took the silver needles, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside her.
She looked up, wanting to say something, but unsure how to express her gratitude, and could only whisper:
"Thank you..."
Yelü Bei smiled slightly and turned to look at Li Cunxu.
"If Prince Jin has the time, why not personally perform acupuncture on Miss Qiu? It would be much faster than using herbal medicine."
Li Cunxu frowned slightly, seemingly puzzled by Yelü Bei's actions, but did not ask further.
He nodded and said solemnly, "Okay, I will keep that in mind."
Yelü Bei did not linger, but clasped his hands in greeting and mounted his horse.
"Goodbye."
Before he finished speaking, he had already spurred his horse and galloped away with Amu, leaving only billowing dust behind.
