Chapter 1018: Chapter 1020: The Enthronement of the Prince (5)

Li Rui Zhu said, "They’ve already set the date; my aunt’s efforts are useless now. What can we possibly do?"

Seeing Li Rui Zhu so sad, Madame Du hesitated, dismissed everyone around her, and whispered, "My child, rest assured, your father has already sent someone to Liaodan with a letter. Saknu has always been fixated on that slut, and once he gets the news, he will take action for sure. Just hold on!"

"Daughter is also aware of Saknu’s situation, but distant waters cannot put out a nearby fire. They will be married in another two months. By the time our messenger reaches Liaodan’s Prosperous Capital and Saknu hurries from there to our Great Jin Dynasty’s Capital, time will have turned again. Two months... Is that enough?" Li Rui Zhu lifted her tear-stained face, looking up at her mother.

Madame Du said, "My child, rest easy. Your father has sent the fastest horseman with the letter. Saknu will definitely arrive on time. You don’t know how awesome Saknu is. I’ve heard that when the old Khan died, the position of Khan in Liaodan had been inherited by Prince Trulu, son of Lady Wuya Ji. Trulu’s men were everywhere in Shengjing, but Saknu, with just three thousand men, forcibly took back the Khan’s position. Furthermore, he ordered the slaughter of all male members of the Liaodan Imperial Family and reduced the Imperial women to slave status, confining them in a big tent in Liaodan’s Prosperous Capital for men to... sigh, let’s not talk about these vulgar matters. Anyway, that man is extremely powerful. If he desires that slut, The Prince will never get to marry her peacefully; it is most likely that Saknu the savage will snatch her away!"

Upon hearing this, a bit of a smile appeared on Li Rui Zhu’s pale face. She smiled for a while but then grew worried again, "Yi is also very capable, hardly inferior to Saknu. What if they are evenly matched, and Yi refuses to let go even if it kills him? What then?"

"My child, don’t worry. Your father, the Great General, didn’t earn his title for nothing. If necessary, he will lend a hand to Saknu. In any case, your wish to marry The Prince shall be fulfilled. The position of The Princess Consort is assuredly yours," Madame Du said with full confidence, reassuring Li Rui Zhu, whose face, once full of worry, now burst into radiance, with sparkling eyes.

Madame Du smiled affectionately, "However, to be The Princess Consort, you also need to be in good health, don’t you? Look at you, so weak and ailing. How could The Prince fancy you in such a state?"

With that, she called out to the door, "Granny Zeng, bring your miss’s medicine over quickly."

Granny Zeng hurried in and handed the medicine to Madame Du.

As Madame Du fed her daughter the medicine, she scolded, "From now on, no matter what happens, you mustn’t abuse your body like this, understand?"

Li Rui Zhu nodded shyly, obediently responding, "Mother, daughter understands..."

That night, when Nangong Yi sneaked into Cai Wei’s room, Cai Wei was sitting cross-legged on the couch, waiting for him.

"Madam, why are you still up so late?"

As soon as Nangong Yi came in, he opened the folding fan in his hand and sat at the side of the couch, gently fanning Cai Wei. The weather had become unbearable in July, especially at night; the room felt like a steamer, hardly a place for anyone to stay.

Cai Wei said, "I was waiting for you!"

Nangong Yi raised an eyebrow, smiled teasingly, and said, "Missing your husband?"

"Tch!"

Cai Wei scoffed coldly, dismissing the man’s vanity.

"I need to make a trip to Lingbei to bring back all the glass there and also to check on the business prospects. I’ve already sent Zhao Yun and Du Yongqi’s family to develop the market in Lingbei, but it seems their strength alone is a bit weak. So, I’m thinking about helping them out and take the lead!"
