The Princess and Her Rough-Rider Khan-Chapter 557 - 556 be more serious (first update)

The Imperial Palace of Yue Nation was resplendent and majestic.

Having received the news of Yelu Yan’s severe injury, the Khan of Yue Nation said "good" several times in front of his confidants, "As long as Yelu Yan dies, my Yue Nation will never have to live at the mercy of others again."

He had already forgotten that it was Yelu Yan who had led the Khitan army to save them when foreign enemies invaded, breaking the siege of the Imperial City.

"Murong Ce does have some skills. Tell the envoy from Houliang that Yue Nation is willing to provide financial and grain support to him in secret, aiding Houliang in the battle against Khitan."

"The Khan is wise."

As evening approached, the sun withdrew its rays, and the western sky’s sunset also slowly sank into dusk.

The inner chamber of the Hall of Diligent Governance was bathed in a goose-yellow warm glow.

Because the performance required authenticity, Li Xianyun had no choice but to stay close to Yelu Yan.

After dinner, Yelu Yan became increasingly restless, urging her constantly.

"Xianxian, it’s getting late, you should go bathe and change your clothes."

But it had only just gotten dark.

Li Xianyun sat on the Taishi Chair next to the bed, hooking a soft silk armor with a golden hook, without even lifting her eyelids, "It’s early yet."

"But your husband feels uncomfortable. Bring some hot water, I need to wash."

It was normal to bring hot water for a wash when injured.

Yelu Yan was truly annoying, incessantly clamoring if she didn’t agree.

Li Xianyun, harried by his noise, had no choice but to have people bring the hot water to the bath chamber.

The bath chamber was located between the inner and outer chambers, so even if someone entered, they could not see inside.

Youlan, with two maids, placed enough hot water for two people to use in the bath chamber, then spoke from the outer chamber, "My lady, would you like me to bring the hot water in for you?"

Li Xianyun’s voice drifted over leisurely, "No need, you all go down, I will handle it myself."

Youlan answered and led the two maids out, closing the door from the outside.

After the noise subsided, Li Xianyun placed the unfinished soft silk armor into a basket and prepared to get up.

Yelu Yan, however, pulled her back, "Your husband will wash by himself."

Saying so, he got up from the bed.

Li Xianyun dared not get too close to him; whenever she was near, Yelu Yan would always get handsy, and she couldn’t get anything done.

Seeing that he had risen, Li Xianyun couldn’t stop him and let him go, "Just wash a little, be careful not to wet the wound."

"I know." Yelu Yan said and circled around Li Xianyun’s side, bending down to plant a heavy kiss on her delicate cheek, "Can’t wait, can you?"

Li Xianyun lightly slapped his arm, and rebuked with feigned anger, "Be serious."

She had asked him to wash just a little, not to hurry him.

Yelu Yan laughed, "Your husband is very serious, seriously thinking..."

He emphasized the words "tease you" slightly, thick with flirtatious meaning.

Li Xianyun gave him a sidelong glance, which only made him laugh more merrily.

He went to wash, humming happily, and soon the bath chamber was filled with the sound of splashing water.

Yelu Yan had always been full of vigor, never sparing her, always finding ways to torment her, and Li Xianyun had long since grown accustomed to it.

She was actually quite looking forward to their wedding night; after all, the feelings on a regular day and on the ceremonial night would be quite different.

But with Yelu Yan injured, even restraining himself, he could still agitate the wound.

That’s why Li Xianyun seemed so resistant.

However, a sudden thought flashed across Li Xianyun’s mind.

This thought immediately made her face flush and her heart race, her entire countenance became shy and bashful as she thought to herself, Li Xianyun, Li Xianyun, you really shouldn’t.

Knowing Li Xianyun always liked cleanliness, Yelu Yan dared not take it lightly, and was always very thorough each time he bathed.
