After a long time, Yu Qingluo felt that the pressure on her body suddenly relaxed, the blocked air entered the tip of her nose again, and her brain gradually returned to clarity.
Ye Xiudu still hugged her tightly and did not let go. He pressed his forehead against hers and said in a hoarse voice, "Qing'er, don't say such things again. I apologize to you, okay?"
Yu Qingluo held his clothes tightly with her hands, her chest was rising and falling, and she was still exhaling loudly.
Her legs were a little weak, and most of her strength was still supported by Ye Xiudu.
"Nannan didn't disobey you. He's so good and loves you so much. How could he disobey you?" Ye Xiu held her waist and lifted her up, his voice low, " It was my fault that I didn't think highly of him, and I won't do it again."
Yu Qingluo raised her eyes slightly and glanced at him.
Ye Xiu gently touched her eyes with his fingers. This was the first time he saw such a fragile Yu Qingluo. The panic in her eyes was so intense that even she didn't know how strong it was.
It was his negligence. He should not have allowed Nannan to hide this matter.
"No, you are not allowed to make the decision without permission to let Nannan become the heir of the Mongolian people. Otherwise, I will kill you." Yu Qingluo finally breathed smoothly, and the fingers holding the clothes on his chest suddenly tightened, gritting his teeth and speaking every word. said.
She didn't know what the rules of the Mongolian people were, and she didn't know if Ye Xiudu wanted to obey Meng Lu's orders. But Meng Lu's words before leaving worried her. He said that Ye Xiu Du would agree to Nan Nan being the heir. He was so confident that she worried that in Ye Xiu Du's heart, the sense of national mission would be more important than flesh and blood.
Who knows if the Mongolian people have such messy beliefs and secrets, but if Ye Xiudu really dares to make his own decisions regardless of her and Nan Nan's wishes, she will definitely not let him go.
Ye Xiu sighed secretly. In this way, Qing'er was angry with him not entirely because he had people following her. What's more, I'm afraid it's the deep meaning behind what she just said.
"You must have some confidence in me." Ye Xiudu rubbed her face, "There is indeed an unwritten rule in the Mongolian tribe. The patriarch is succeeded by a man with a flower-shaped birthmark on his body, and he must be succeeded by the previous one. The clan leader selects himself and only those who are recognized by everyone can do it. For hundreds of years, there have been countless people with flower-shaped birthmarks who want to become clan leaders, and the dark competition among them is no less than that within the royal family."
Yu Qingluo frowned. Sure enough, the Mongolian people were not a very noble place.
Ye Xiu smoothed her eyebrows alone and continued, "Any Mongolian man with a flower-shaped birthmark on his body will, in a sense, be a Mongolian for life. As long as the Mongolian people are in need, they must return to the Mongolian people and make contributions. But Qing Qing Son, to me, the Mongolian people are not as important as you and Nannan, and no one is as important as you."
"So, if you have some confidence in me, I won't force Nannan to do something he doesn't want to do. Unless he wants to be the leader of the clan himself and he has that interest, I will not instill in him the ideas of the Mongolian people."
Yu Qingluo's eyes flashed involuntarily, and her expression softened a lot when she looked at Ye Xiudu.
With a thought in his mind, the latter moved his thin lips forward to kiss the tip of her straight nose.
But Yu Qingluo snorted coldly, pushed him away and took a step to the side, "This time, it's better to keep your word. You go out, I'm hungry, I want to eat."
Ye Xiu patted her forehead alone. It seemed that her worry was gone, but her anger was still there.
Well, it seemed that it was not that easy to calm her down for a while. But fortunately, I am less angry and less irritable.
"Qing'er, I'm hungry too, let's eat together."
With a "pop" sound, Yu Qingluo slapped her chopsticks on the table and sneered at him, "Aren't you going out?"
"..." Ye Xiudu stood up immediately after sitting down, "... you eat slowly."
Yu Qingluo hummed softly, stared at him as he went out and closed the door, and then took up the chopsticks again.
When Ye Xiu came out of the courtyard alone, he saw Nan Nan squatting aside, staring at a stone in a daze.
He knew that he was outside the window at that time, and he was afraid that he might have heard Qing'er's words.
Ye Xiudu carefully picked up Nannan and said, "You must be hungry. Let's go have dinner."
"Dad, I didn't disobey my mother." Nannan grabbed the edge of her clothes, tightened it suddenly, and then slowly let go.
"I know, and your mother also knows that what she said just now was all angry." Ye Xiu touched his head alone, looked at his slightly red eyes, and said softly, "Your mother is just worried about you. She wants to Let me teach you a lesson. She knows what your temper is like, and she is also tired today. Let’s let her have a good rest and see her again tomorrow, okay?”
Nannan nodded, still feeling a little down, and put his arms around Ye Xiudu's neck, resting his entire head on his shoulders.
Ye Xiudu was also very unaccustomed to such a lifeless Nan Nan. He gently stroked his back with his palms and carried him all the way to the flower hall.
It was the first time that Nan Nan ate so little. He was just putting rice grains into his mouth one grain at a time. Ye Lan Sheng, who was watching from the side, felt very sad.
On this day, the atmosphere in the palace was unprecedentedly gloomy, and the servants did not dare to say another word.
And Shen Ying and others understood more clearly who the real master in the palace was now.
Hey, I must not offend Miss Jade in the future.
Ye Xiudu did not return to Yu Qingluo's house that night, but that night, Yu Qingluo slept very uneasily, as if... something was missing, and she was not used to it.
So when she woke up the next morning, she looked obviously sleepy and low in energy.
Aunt Xiao still had her breakfast delivered to her room, and she still read the medical books silently. She didn't even step out of the room the whole morning.
Nannan also got up early in the morning, but he didn't know what he was doing, and he ate in a hurry.
And under such a strange atmosphere in Prince Xiu's Mansion, the sky in the Imperial Capital also changed.
The air outside was very dull. Yu Qingluo opened all the windows, but she still felt that the air was very depressing, as if a storm was coming soon.
Sure enough, just after lunch, heavy rain poured down, and the ground and roof were quickly wet.
Just as the thunder started to sound, Aunt Xiao ran in from outside in a hurry and whispered, "Princess, something happened."
She put the book in her hand on the table, and Yu Qingluo frowned slightly. She really didn't like this weather.
"What happened?" Grandma Xiao's expression was serious, and it didn't look like it was a trivial matter.
