The reborn beauty is pregnant again and again

Chapter 805: The Coveted Minister's Wife 154

Youzhu didn't quite understand the meaning of his smile, but she didn't want to continue asking him and make the atmosphere even more awkward, so she just raised her glass to toast.

He Yuxiang took two sips and then stopped drinking.

You Zhu laughed, "You've always been a big drinker, why did you drink so little today?"

He Yuxiang glanced at Jiang Nanqiu in his arms and said, "My wife doesn't like me drinking. It would be fine if she wasn't here, but now that she's here, how dare I make her unhappy?"

He Yuxiang gently stroked her face and asked, "You don't like me drinking, right?"

Hearing this, Jiang Nanqiu felt a little sad, as if she saw her former husband, and she nodded in a trance.

This situation caused different reactions when other people saw it.

The palace maids in Changyuan Palace were trembling, Youzhu was silent, and her confidants and others were almost furious.

When the banquet was over, He Yuxiang said a few polite words, told You Zhu to do as she pleased, and then left with Jiang Nanqiu without any reluctance.

Shocked by He Yuxiang's words at the banquet, Jiang Nanqiu was dazed after returning home and was slow to react no matter what He Yuxiang said.

Seeing this familiar expression, He Yuxiang couldn't help but smile. He couldn't tell whether this woman was poison or medicine to him.

If it was poison, then since he had her, the pain and scars in his heart were healed little by little, new flesh and blood grew, and he began to smile from the bottom of his heart.

But if it is a good medicine, he has always set a goal and will never change it easily, but recently he has made exceptions again and again for her, even to the point of not distinguishing the severity of the consequences. Just like this time, leaving Youzhu aside and ignoring her is obviously more harmful than beneficial, which is not in line with his usual style of doing things.

However, he can only do this and then respond immediately, change his plan, minimize the losses, or turn them into convergence.

After all, whatever happened to Youzhu was easy to solve. If this daughter was foolish and stubborn, even gods would not be able to save her.

He Yuxiang didn't know that his subconscious inference was completely based on the fact that once bitten, one becomes afraid of the rope for ten years, and he instinctively chose the lesser of two evils.

Inside the West Hall, Youzhu sat by the window railing with a wine cup in her hand, drinking while looking at the bright moon in the sky.

She knew what He Yuxiang was dissatisfied with.

But there are some things that she would never give up easily, even to a rare and precious man.

Ashina’s previous experience was a lesson for her. No matter how much she liked him, how could she be the second fool to be seduced by beauty?

So Youzhu did not retreat, but kept his troops in place and waited and watched the situation develop.

He Yuxiang treated Youzhu as a distinguished guest, and his words and attitude were not disrespectful. However, he always took the mute girl with him, and took great care of her. Even when Youzhu hinted that she wanted to leave and talk alone, he did not let the woman leave, and still held her in his arms.

"My wife is not an outsider. There is nothing she cannot listen to. Besides, she is jealous. Even if you and I did nothing, she will be upset and have wild thoughts when she goes home. In the end, I will still suffer."

You Zhu couldn't help but look at Jiang Nanqiu.

Jiang Nanqiu kept his head down the whole time and did not make eye contact with anyone except He Yuxiang.

She looked not like a favored pregnant concubine, but rather like a prisoner in shackles.

Seeing this scene and thinking about the fact that this woman had someone she loved, Youzhu became more and more certain that she was just a tool and He Yuxiang was just using her to anger her.

So she smiled and said nothing, keeping calm.

After returning to the room that night, Youzhu's confidant was forced into speaking.

"My Lord, what does Lord He want?"

Youzhu finally told her, "He wants the title of queen and half of the Turkic kingdom."

The confidant couldn't help but tremble, "What?"

Youzhu said, "I promised him that if he helped me overthrow Soto and his daughter, I would make him a powerful queen and rule the Turks with me."

The confidant asked anxiously, "What do you mean by assisting the Lord? This matter is obviously his personal vendetta!"

You Zhu said, "That being said, it is undeniable that he has made a lot of contributions to my waiting. I broke my promise first. Let him vent his anger first, and I will have a good talk with him after he calms down."

Seeing his master's confident look, the confidant suddenly asked an extremely offensive question involuntarily, "Master, have you and Lord He ever..."

Youzhu smiled, "You want to ask, have I slept with him?"

The confidant lowered his head and whispered yes.

Youzhu said, "Don't worry, I dare not easily touch such a femme fatale. Look at how he played Ashina like a fool, and how he kept this mute girl by his side. This man does things by any means necessary, and he doesn't care about any moral principles. If I accidentally get pregnant with his child, no one in the Turkic region will be able to suppress him in the future."

Fortunately, He Yuxiang was not the kind of person who was extremely lustful. He would stop at the right time every time, at most just hugging her. Otherwise, she would not know how to refuse. Last time, she took the initiative to give him some sweet treats, but he was unlucky enough to miss it.

In short, for a person like him, it would be too easy for him to support someone who is related to him by blood and legitimately marginalize others.

This is also the reason why You Zhu knew that He Yuxiang was capable but did not dare to give him too many troops.

With only a few scattered imperial guards, he was able to suppress his own troops on the surface. If he was given real power, the Turks might have to change their names in the future. Even though He Yuxiang had no reason or motive for this, she was still subconsciously wary.

Youzhu's words shocked her heart so much that they finally turned into a silent sigh.

In the bedroom, He Yuxiang was feeding Jiang Nanqiu medicine when suddenly an inconspicuous, gray-faced, short man came in.

He knelt in front of He Yuxiang and muttered a lot of words that Jiang Nanqiu couldn't understand.

It was neither the language of the Great Wei, nor the language of the Xia Kingdom or the Turks. I didn't know where it came from. He Yuxiang replied to her with the same words, and the man kowtowed and left.

After this person left, He Yuxiang was in a daze for a long time.

Jiang Nanqiu looked at his face, wondering why he had such an expression.

He Yuxiang suddenly said, "I have a child named Murong Yanjin."

Jiang Nanqiu was shocked and looked at him straight.

This was the first time he mentioned Jin'er. She always thought that he had forgotten that he had this child.

He Yuxiang lowered his head and gently stroked her belly, "Brother is older than you, so he has to choose first."

Jiang Nanqiu was confused by what he said.

What to choose?

He Yuxiang understood the look in his eyes, but just smiled and did not answer.

You Zhu thought she had figured out He Yuxiang's psychology and didn't take Jiang Nanqiu seriously at all.

But after witnessing the two of them getting along, she gradually developed some strange feelings. Even if she was wrong at first, wasn't He Yuxiang going too far? Why did he have to act so realistically?

Could he really be interested in such a face and such unpresentable behavior? Or was he insulting Youzhu in the same way he had insulted her before?
