The General's Darling Is Delicate-Chapter 362 - 224: We Can’t Keep This Child

Next came another round of threats commonly used by the King of Bianliao.

With Bianliao, with the people, with the position of General, subtly hinting at a seizure of power.

Yet Yelyu Lie only responded with five words: "Then come and take it."

Without further pause, he took his young wife’s hand and slowly walked out of Heyong Palace.

"Husband... Ah!"

As they left the palace gates, Yun Chunnuan barely opened her mouth before the man scooped her up horizontally into his arms.

She hurriedly wrapped her arms around his neck, fearing she might accidentally fall, "We’re still in the Royal Palace, quickly put me down."

"No, what’s the big deal about the Royal Palace, if Nuannuan likes to snatch, then let her."

Outside the hall, there were eunuchs and palace maids serving, who, hearing this, were so frightened that they immediately bowed their heads, not daring to breathe deeply.

Yun Chunnuan was also shocked by him, wanting to smooth things over, but she heard him laughing lowly, "No more carriage, as your husband I’ll carry you back."

Yun Chunnuan dared not say anything, fearing he might say more audacious words in front of the palace attendants.

Such matters should be schemed in secrecy, how could one speak openly of them?

"Did you all hear what the General said?"

The four palace attendant quickly knelt on the ground, looking bewildered, "The servant (maid) heard it, the General said he would carry the wife back to the General Mansion."

"And what else?"

"Anything else? Please enlighten us, General’s wife!"

All four palace attendants were trembling like leaves; they were merely the lowest class of eunuchs (palace maids)! Dutiful and diligent, otherwise, they would not be standing outside in the cold!

Whether it be the King, the General, or the Great Xia Princess, they could not afford to offend any of them!

These words just listen and forget, who dares to speak them otherwise?

Just wishing for the General’s mercy, to spare their lives!

The atmosphere remained tense, the pressure becoming suffocating.

After a while, that sweet and soft voice rang out again, "Husband, let’s go home."

The tall man, like a small mountain casting a shadow over the palace attendants, finally left. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

The four palace attendants nearly collapsed to the ground, warning each other not to speak recklessly, if someone dared to harbor malicious thoughts, they would die together!

All four were old hands in the palace, fully understanding the logic within; speaking of it, even to the King, to create discord between the King and the General would yield no advantage, instead leading to their death.

Thus, they must not say, absolutely cannot say!

"Husband, you truly have a lot of guts! Couldn’t this matter be discussed at home?" Yun Chunnuan broke out in cold sweat as she finally stepped off the high jade stone steps of Heyong Palace.

Unexpectedly, her husband, who was usually extremely cautious about such matters, was unconcernedly smiling and said, "Silly girl, do you think he wouldn’t know even if I didn’t say it?

The Commander’s Seal is in my hands, among the 200,000 troops at the border, at least 150,000 are loyal to me. If I’m willing to serve him, then he is the King.

If I’m unwilling, let Tie Muhun come and take it, I’m waiting!"

Yun Chunnuan’s arms around his neck trembled slightly, "Husband, have you truly decided?"

"Once the bow is drawn, there’s no turning back."

His voice was steady, without a trace of fear.

Yun Chunnuan hadn’t expected a single trip to the palace to stir such trouble.

Though they hadn’t fought directly as the last time, yet... it seemed even more severe.

"Nuannuan, are you afraid?"

"Not afraid, just worried about your future in the court..."

Mentioning the civil and military officials, Yelyu Lie suddenly fell silent.

Time and again, he had chosen to endure, mainly because of those people.

"Nuannuan, there’s something I’ve yet to tell you."

Today’s incident suddenly made Yelyu Lie understand.

Husbands and wives working together can break barriers.

Some matters he could certainly handle alone, but keeping them hidden from his young wife would only add more obstacles.

She seemed delicate, yet her nature was resilient and unusually clever, absolutely not the kind of woman who merely hides behind a man and reaps benefits.

Yun Chunnuan smirked, and under the bright lights, her black shiny eyes were as sly as a little fox, "Let me guess, is it because our wedding was too grand, causing some civil servants and a few rival military officers to be displeased with you?"

Yelyu Lie stopped in his tracks, looking surprised, "How did you know?"

"Really? I just guessed."

Yun Chunnuan was truly guessing.

Initially, she thought her husband had been coerced by the King of Bianliao, but upon closer thought, her husband wouldn’t be so easily manipulated.

Unless there was something compelling him, preventing him from acting as wilfully as he desired.

He already had intentions to rise up, certainly not a decision made on impulse.

Those who could restrain him couldn’t possibly be just one person.

Initially, Yun Chunnuan thought he was worried about the people, if he were to rise up, it would be treasonous, whether he succeeded or not, he would be criticized in secret.

But in her view, ninety-nine percent of the Bianliao people supported her husband.

Furthermore, when the Imperial Tutor vacated his residence, unwilling to be their neighbor, everything had been peaceful the year before.

Only after the wedding this happened.

She then had such an inference.

"Yes." Yelyu Lie sighed, and told his young wife everything that had happened in court over the past two months.

He thought she would feel sad afterwards, and be concerned as he was.

Who knew this little fellow was truly unrestrained?

Angrily she rebuked, "Why are they complaining about our wedding being extravagant? The silver was saved by my husband being frugal!

Even without yours, I could earn it myself!

The people are becoming wealthier day by day, the Royal City is becoming more prosperous, do they even consider who is contributing to that!

Ah, I’m expected only to contribute, even a little gain is a sin?

Why should this be!

I not only want a grand wedding, but when I have a child, I’ll hold an even more lavish full moon and anniversary celebration for the baby!

It’s my silver, I can spend it how I like!"

As she mentioned a child, the indulgent smile on Yelyu Lie’s lips suddenly froze.

Even his footsteps came to a halt.

Yun Chunnuan naturally noticed, and suddenly recalled the events that transpired earlier in the palace.

She glanced around, and whispered, "Husband, my belly..."

"Let’s talk at home."

Yelyu Lie could openly say he wanted to rebel, but when faced with the young gentle one’s queries, he was extremely cautious, not daring to say a word.

Yun Chunnuan also understood the severity of the issue and didn’t ask further.

Obediently, she leaned against the man’s chest.

Upon reaching the Imperial Road, she wanted to ride the carriage home, but Yelyu Lie didn’t even loosen his grip, carrying the young gentle one back home all the way.

"Nuannuan, the child must not be kept."

His first words upon returning home were that the child couldn’t stay.

Yun Chunnuan held her abdomen, her eyes filled with shock, "Why?"

Yelyu Lie was equally at a loss.

At the arrival of the child, he had not yet felt the joy of being a father, and was already faced with such misfortune.
