Free Web NovelChapter 1741: Chapter 1351: Some Sleep Well, Some Lie Awake
Gu Changsheng had no idea what Zhou Mu was thinking. To be honest, her mind was in turmoil right now!
She was someone who seemed carefree in others’ eyes, and to be frank, that wasn’t incorrect. When it came to matters of relationships, Gu Changsheng had always been indifferent, never considering them as essential to life. To some extent, even the feelings Zhou Mu offered were something she accepted passively.
Not to mention the various things she’d encountered in the Valley of Forgetfulness over the past few days, just Zhou Mu’s promise of this sentiment being worth waiting for was enough to make Gu Changsheng feel restless!
After investigating Yu Lianyi’s condition and seeing that the Medicine Immortal Old Man had followed along, Gu Changsheng was reassured enough to act as a carefree Shopkeeper and returned to her room!
This time, no matter how worried Diao Chan’s gaze was, Gu Changsheng simply took off her clothes, kicked off her shoes, and lay down on the bed!
She hoped that all these worries would disappear after a good sleep!
Living on was the most important thing!
The future was unknown, and she didn’t want to waste too much energy on these trivial matters!
Ever since she carried Yu Lianyi back to the Guesthouse, everything had been chaotic. She hadn’t even had the chance to check on Shi Wujue’s condition or to see if the rusted strange key she brought was the one she was looking for!
Ah!
Just sleep!
No matter how big the concern, it could wait until she was awake!
Right now, she was so tired!
An unprecedented fatigue, both physically and mentally exhausted!
She pulled a thin quilt over her head, blocking out all the sounds from outside. Gu Changsheng closed her eyes and told herself not to think about it! Not to think about anything!
When it’s time to sleep, one must sleep, and no matter how big the issues are, solutions can be found when they arise...
The long night stretched on, the prairie nights feeling more vast than those in the Central Plains!
Gu Changsheng shut her door tightly, pulling the quilt over her head, leaving the outside world, but there were still those who stayed awake all night!
Such as Shi Wujue and others...
Such as Borjigin Nian!
In the same Guesthouse, it seemed to be split into two by an invisible line, half occupied by the Northern Mongolian Honor Guard and the Hidden World Clan people, and the other half by Gu Changsheng’s Dark Night Army and others!
At this moment, even though the night was deep, one room within the Northern Mongolian Honor Guard’s quarters still had lights burning!
"Princess, stop pacing. If you’re really worried, we can go ask your sister-in-law once it’s daylight!" Beauty Sai, seeing Borjigin Nian pacing restlessly back and forth, spoke up with a slight headache.
Borjigin Nian naturally knew why Gu Changsheng left the Guesthouse at Yanmen Pass. Of course, those like Borjigin Lvchi might not notice Gu Changsheng’s departure, but Borjigin Nian, not being an outsider, had ways of knowing about Gu Changsheng’s news, even within the Northern Mongolian Honor Guard!
"I heard they came back in a pitiful state, bloodied—no idea how they are now or if they found what they were looking for..."
Upon hearing this, Borjigin Nian stopped with a worried expression.
Beauty Sai and Li Ji were both people Gu Changsheng sent to protect herself. As the Northern Mongolian Princess, Borjigin Nian had never been involved in court affairs, but she understood the principle of using people she trusted. The reason she didn’t hide things from these two was that when she told Gu Changsheng the whereabouts of the three keys, even though they weren’t inside the carriage, they were still guarding outside the carriage!
The people Gu Changsheng trusts, Borjigin Nian chose to trust unconditionally!
"Princess need not worry, who are they to get into trouble? Earlier, I sensed their presence returning, though a bit chaotic, probably just tired from the journey, shouldn’t be any problem!" Li Ji, not liking to talk much, remained quiet. Hearing Borjigin Nian’s words, Beauty Sai started to comfort her softly, "Princess, you must have forgotten that your sister-in-law is a renowned Divine Doctor. Even if they were injured, it wouldn’t be a big deal! Besides, I just heard some commotion outside. Although it wasn’t convenient for me to check, it seemed to be your sister-in-law’s presence. She’s not one to stay still, who knows what trouble they’re up to..."
In Xunyang City, Beauty Sai always called Gu Changsheng sister-in-law. This title was meant to change, but since Gu Changsheng didn’t mind, Beauty Sai didn’t avoid it!
Hearing Beauty Sai’s words, Borjigin Nian was slightly relieved, looked at the night outside the window, and couldn’t help but sigh, "Not returning to Northern Mongolia, I worry, returning to Northern Mongolia, I’m even more on edge. I don’t even know how my Father King is now..."
"With such a filial daughter like you, Princess, King of Northern Mongolia will surely be safe. Once Northern Mongolia gets through this calamity, he can enjoy life playing with his grandchildren!" Beauty Sai smiled upon hearing this, responding immediately. She naturally had heard of the entangled matters between Borjigin Nian and Yue Xilou...
Borjigin Nian heard this, and not only did he not show surprise, but his expression became even more gloomy!
Beauty Sai regretted her words as soon as they were out!
She couldn’t help but raise her hand and give herself a small slap on the mouth!
Look at this mouth of hers, always mentioning things that shouldn’t be mentioned at the worst times!
What kind of place is this?
This is where the Northern Mongolian Honor Guard is stationed!
Why are they appearing here? Isn’t it because Borjigin Lvchi used the King of Northern Mongolia as a threat, compelling Borjigin Nian to agree to the alliance marriage...
Ah!
At present, Borjigin Nian is heading north to get married!
At this time, mentioning the person she admires deeply is like stabbing a knife into her heart, isn’t it?
Beauty Sai regretted endlessly, wanting to offer comfort, but seeing Borjigin Nian only lower her gaze with a gloomy face, without any intention of speaking, she didn’t know how to open her mouth...
Li Ji noticed this and couldn’t help but turn her head, casting Beauty Sai a sharp look!
Receiving Li Ji’s gaze, Beauty Sai felt a pang of guilt!
With pursed lips, she felt quite helpless!
Blaming her?
When Gu Changsheng sent them to protect Borjigin Nian closely, he emphatically advised them to talk more with Borjigin Nian, whether in good times or bad, to prevent her from overthinking. There’s no need to mention Li Ji, who’s naturally taciturn; if she also didn’t speak, then in this hostile Northern Mongolian Guard, would the three of them just remain silent?
Beauty Sai also felt quite aggrieved, as none of the three spoke, she didn’t know how to break this silence, and for a moment, she missed her two children still in swaddling clothes...
"Princess, overthinking is useless, sleep!" Li Ji’s hoarse voice, with concise words, sounded.
Upon hearing this, Beauty Sai immediately snapped back to reality, quickly putting away her thoughts of missing her children, and spoke up, "Yes, Princess, sleep. If you have anything you want to know, you can ask your sister-in-law directly tomorrow, can’t you?"
Borjigin Nian heard this, turned her head, her deep eyes full of concern, "Can I go to see her?"
"Of course you can!" Beauty Sai heard Borjigin Nian’s words, immediately spoke, with a face full of the obvious, "Princess, you’re not a prisoner, how come you can’t walk freely?"
"But that Lvchi, my Father King..." Borjigin Nian heard this, immediately expressed her concern.
"Princess!" But, before Borjigin Nian finished speaking, Beauty Sai interrupted her words in a deep voice, raising her eyebrows and continuing, "Father and daughter are of one heart, the Princess has already agreed to Borjigin Lvchi’s alliance marriage request for the sake of the King of Northern Mongolia. However, Princess, you must remember never to let anyone lead you by the nose; even though you’ve agreed to this alliance marriage, you are still the sole Legitimate Princess of Northern Mongolia! Second to none in authority, compared to you, what’s Borjigin Lvchi? If the King of Northern Mongolia weren’t in their hands, I, Beauty Sai, would be the first to deal with him; treating people with dignity means receiving dignity in return. The Princess has already been threatened by him, he should be more aware. If he wants to treat the Princess as a prisoner, he should at least ask me and Li Ji if we agree. Princess, do you think your sister-in-law sent us just to protect you?"
Beauty Sai was an Itinerant World person, inevitably having a bit of an aura of the Itinerant World, Borjigin Nian heard this, and immediately widened her eyes, eyes full of confusion.
"We are still the Princess’s face! Princess is a good friend with a life-and-death bond with your sister-in-law, so the Princess’s dignity is my sister-in-law’s dignity as well! No matter where you are, even if under a low eave, you can’t lose dignity!" Beauty Sai heard this, snorted arrogantly, and said deeply, "Princess, if you want to see your sister-in-law, just go; if you want to go anywhere, do anything, just follow your heart. If Borjigin Lvchi dares to stop you, then don’t blame Li Ji and me for being ruthless, we’ll just have to kick him around a bit!"
With that, Beauty Sai turned her head, raised her eyebrows towards Li Ji, saying, "Li Ji, isn’t that right?"
Li Ji, being cold and distant, seemed difficult to approach, but she acts quite responsibly!
Hearing Beauty Sai’s words, although she didn’t speak, she still gave face by nodding coldly!
Borjigin Nian saw this, her originally tumultuous heart suddenly calmed down, nodding, she spoke with firm determination, "Yes! No matter what, I’m still the Legitimate Princess of Northern Mongolia, lose the person, but not the momentum, Borjigin Lvchi took what he wanted, now if he becomes arrogant, I can only let you guys kick him around a bit!"
Borjigin Nian spoke this, adopting Beauty Sai’s Itinerant World tone, sounding quite roguish.
Beauty Sai heard this, couldn’t help but smile, and then urged Borjigin Nian to quickly rest!
Borjigin Nian, despite being uneasy, finally rested under Beauty Sai’s comfort; meanwhile, in Gu Changsheng’s backyard, things were far from calm, especially in Shi Wujue’s courtyard, which was heavily guarded, with palace attendants and guards surrounding it in multiple layers, the inside was brightly lit, as if it were daytime...
