“You know how to ride a horse?” Yelu Yan observed Li Xianyun with interest.

Looking down on someone?

Li Xianyun suppressed the shyness in her heart, raised her eyes to him, and with her red lips slightly parting she said, “This concubine can ride a horse.”

Her tone was firm, playful, and adorable.

When Li Xianyun saw Yelu Yan’s increasingly fervent gaze, she hastily swept her gaze aside and unconsciously pursed her rosy lips.

Yelu Yan, upon seeing this gesture, couldn’t help but recall the scene from the previous night when she kissed him. His Adam’s apple bobbed, and after pausing a moment, he opened his attractive thin lips and said, “Be careful.”

“Mhm, this concubine will take her leave.”

Li Xianyun bowed to Yelu Yan and then hurriedly left with Youlan and Zhuo Ma.

Yelu Yan watched her fleeing figure with a smile curving at his lips, his mood very buoyant.

During this time, Xiao Dilu had been frowning at Yelu Yan’s reactions.

Yelu Yan was deeply shrewd, and typically his joy and anger were not apparent, but now it was clear that he was in a good mood.

Li Xianyun had only been here for a few days, and the Khan had changed his ways—what would become of them in the future?

This cunning and detestable woman from the Han Ethnic Group absolutely could not stay.

“Khan,” Xiao Dilu called out.

Yelu Yan then pulled back his gaze, walked over to the bed, sat down on a chair next to the bedstead, and looked at Xiao Dilu before asking, “Teacher, how do you feel today?”

“Much better,” Xiao Dilu said.

This young girl’s medical skills are truly exquisite.

Thinking this, Yelu Yan stretched out his hand to open the food box, and a fragrance of rice wafted out.

He took out the millet porridge and roasted buns and placed them on the table, saying, “Have some food.”

Xiao Dilu said, “Thank you, Khan. Your servant will eat in a moment.”

He paused, then said, “Khan, you also heard what that woman said just now. She said she couldn’t guarantee that she wouldn’t develop feelings of affection for you in the future, essentially admitting that her intentions towards you are not pure. Your servant is right; she is a spy sent by Houtang, harboring ulterior motives against you and plotting against Khitan. Such a woman should no longer be allowed to stay by your side.”

Yelu Yan, hearing that Li Xianyun was plotting against him, felt not the slightest bit of anger; rather, there was a feeling he was reluctant to admit.

That feeling, like a clear spring, trickled slowly in his heart, making him feel comfortable and pleased.

Seeing Yelu Yan lost in thought, Xiao Dilu called out, “Khan.”

Yelu Yan snapped out of his reverie and looked at Xiao Dilu, speaking indifferently, “Teacher, this Khan knows his limits.”

Xiao Dilu nodded. Yelu Yan had always been clear about gratitude and grudges, could distinguish right from wrong, had clear objectives, and was restrained and reserved. He would surely not indulge in romance.

Actually, he knew that his worries were unnecessary. He understood Yelu Yan very well and was very confident in him; Yelu Yan would never harbor any feelings for that woman. However, years of being overly cautious had gotten him used to preventing problems before they arose.

That woman was definitely not someone easy to deal with because she appeared to be flawless. Not only was she beautiful, but she also had a good nature, was kind to people, graceful and led with superior medical skills.

She was akin to a perfect blade that probably very few men could resist. It would be hard for anyone not to be moved by her.

She was as frightening as the femme fatale in the books, impossible not to guard against.

Xiao Dilu said, “Khan, it’s good that you understand. You have come this far to achieve what you have today, which is indeed very difficult. At this moment, Khitan is in disarray, and hearts are unsettled. We also have those with malicious intent watching us covetously. At this critical juncture, we can’t afford any mistakes. Now that you’ve recognized the woman’s true nature, please dismiss her quickly; don’t keep her around you.”

Yelu Yan didn’t respond but instead picked up the porridge and passed it to Xiao Dilu, saying, “Teacher, please eat.”

Seeing that he seemed to have taken in the words, Xiao Dilu took the porridge and lowered his head to start drinking.

Yelu Yan seemed to glance casually outside the door, where Li Xianyun had departed.

After leaving the inner chamber, Li Xianyun bid Wu Mu farewell and then said to the accompanying Huo Dun, “Guard Huo, I had prepared two roasted buns for Minister Xiao earlier. If he doesn’t feel unwell after eating them, he can have some staple food tonight, but not too much, as overeating is not good.”

“Yes!” Huo Dun responded with a salutary gesture.

After delegating her instructions, Li Xianyun proceeded towards the palace gate with Youlan and Zhuo Ma.

Seeing no one around, Li Xianyun asked with slight annoyance in a soft voice, “When did the Khan arrive?”

Zhuo Ma replied respectfully, “Replying to Your Highness, right when Minister Xiao said you had intentions, the Khan arrived.”

Li Xianyun brought a hand to her forehead, her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed. Didn’t that mean he had heard every word she said?

Now, the misunderstanding had greatly escalated.

Yelu Yan would certainly think she had a favorable impression of him.

Seeing her distressed expression, Youlan comforted her, “Don’t worry, my lady. You didn’t say anything wrong, and what you said was particularly good.”

Li Xianyun turned to look at Youlan, wondering how letting Yelu Yan misunderstand that she might harbor romantic feelings for him could be considered good?

On the very day of their wedding, Yelu Yan had said he wouldn’t get emotionally entangled with her. If he thought she had ulterior motives towards him, her life ahead would be difficult.

Meanwhile, these two silly girls were feeling pleased about it, happy on her behalf—what was she supposed to say to them?

Zhuo Ma and Youlan looked at Li Xianyun with smirking, suggestive expressions.

Finally unable to bear it, Li Xianyun stopped and scrutinized them, “I noticed something off about the two of you this morning, the weird looks in your eyes. Did something happen?”

Zhuo Ma and Youlan glanced at each other and shook their heads like rattles.

It was a clear case of protesting too much.

Li Xianyun moved forward and said, “Alright, if you’re not going to talk, then later on… the iced porridge…”

The princess’s method of coercion was somewhat adorable. Couldn’t she use another method?

However, it had to be admitted that the method was quite effective.

In the sweltering heat of summer, sipping a bowl of cold, sweet, fragrant iced porridge is one of life’s great pleasures.

Zhuo Ma and Youlan quickly followed her, unmistakably not wanting to miss out on the iced porridge.

Smiling, Youlan said, “My good master, let’s just talk.”

Li Xianyun stopped, clasping her little hands behind her back and asked cutely, “Alright, speak.”

Youlan, with a blush on her face, turned to Zhuo Ma and said, “You tell her.”

Zhuo Ma’s face was also slightly red as she replied, “You tell her, after all.”

Seeing the reactions of the two, Li Xianyun’s curiosity about the matter grew even more, and she was quite sure that this hard-to-disclose matter was related to her as well.

“Alright, then this princess… ”

There she goes, threatening again.

With no choice left, Zhuo Ma said, “Your Highness, do you not remember what happened last night?”

“Remember what?” Li Xianyun was thoroughly confused, in a complete fog.

These two, with their roundabout way of speaking, were nearly driving her insane.

After a moment’s hesitation, Youlan said, “Last night, when you went out with the Khan, it was the Khan who carried you back.”
