Right after Chu Qing said those words about the "father of the little grass", her lower abdomen returned to normal.
It was as if the discomfort just now had been an illusion...
Since the little one was so well - behaved...
She could speed up her way into the embrace of the little one's father!
...
Wei Ying's cold face softened when he saw the familiar figure running towards him in the distance.
It was like the melting of a millennium - old iceberg...
Bateer, standing beside him, was almost moved to tears. Although he didn't know why the Princess of Ning had returned, her return meant that he no longer had to endure the low - pressure atmosphere from the Prince of Ning!
The Princess of Ning was truly a kind - hearted person!
At this moment, in Wei Ying's eyes, there was only that bright figure running towards him.
Wei Ying also quickened his pace and galloped towards Chu Qing.
The two figures raced on their horses, and the others subconsciously stopped, as if deliberately leaving space for them.
As Chu Qing saw Wei Ying getting closer and closer, she excitedly quickened her speed. Focused solely on Wei Ying's ever - charming face, she failed to notice a protruding rock on the usually flat grassland.
The horse beneath her, moving too fast, failed to step over the rock in time. Instead, it stepped right on it. The uneven ground made the horse sprain its foot, and it panicked.
As a result, Chu Qing only felt the horse beneath her suddenly jolt violently, and then...
Was she about to be thrown off?!!!
No way!!!
Was she going to fall off the horse in front of so many people?!!!
Ah...
The most important thing was that she was pregnant!
Chu Qing, her mind in a complete mess, had lost her usual calmness. Naturally, she also forgot that she knew martial arts...
Subconsciously closing her eyes, Chu Qing silently awaited the embrace of the earth.
However...
The expected pain did not come. She did fall into an embrace, Wei Ying's embrace.
The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Wei Ying looking at her with a worried face.
Chu Qing couldn't help but reach out her hand and trace Wei Ying's eyebrows, then slide down until she reached his tightly pursed lips.
Seemingly due to nervousness, his lips were bloodless.
"Qingqing," Wei Ying called out softly, extremely tenderly.
Chu Qing gave him a faint smile and also softly said, "Zi... Zhan."
At this moment, Wei Ying no longer looked like the iron - blooded and cold - hearted man he was just now. His eyes were filled with gentle tenderness.
All because the person in his arms was safe and sound.
Bateer, standing not far away, watched with a smile. The affection between the Prince and Princess of Ning was truly deep!
He saw the dawn of victory once again!
Wei Ying gently put Chu Qing down and then asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"Seeing you, all discomfort has vanished," Chu Qing said, squinting her eyes and smiling brightly.
There was still a faint blush on her face...
After hearing Chu Qing's words, Wei Ying was as happy as a... young man.
Just as the two were getting closer and about to embrace each other, Bateer's voice suddenly sounded beside them:
"Excuse me... shall we go to Kaze Mountain first? My tribespeople are still waiting for me there..."
In his opinion, he didn't know how long these two would be lovey - dovey. His tribespeople were still waiting for him, and he didn't know if they knew that the Princess of Ning had come back. If not, they would surely be worried.
However, after hearing Bateer's words, the gentle smile on Wei Ying's face instantly disappeared. When he looked at Bateer, his face was cold.
Just as Chu Qing was sighing at how quickly Wei Ying could change his expression, this guy coldly said, "Your tribespeople are waiting for you. What does it matter to us?"
"Um..." Bateer was stunned.
This cold water was poured... he had no way to argue...
Chu Qing smiled helplessly, then took Wei Ying's hand and said, "My lord, Lvluo is still there. Moreover... this young man has no ill intentions. Look, he even treated me well with good food and drink. I've gained a lot of weight these days!"
After hearing this, Wei Ying carefully examined Chu Qing.
Sure enough, her little face was rounder. Wei Ying couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch Chu Qing's cheek. The chubby feeling was really nice.
Seeing the Prince of Ning's expression soften, Bateer still tentatively whispered, "Prince of Ning... you..."
"Let's go. Lead the way."
"Sure thing!" The young man finally showed a sunny smile on his face.
So, the large group of people set off again along the Ritu River towards Kaze Mountain.
This time, Wei Ying didn't let Chu Qing ride alone. Instead, he held her in his arms and they rode on the same horse.
The two talked and laughed all the way. Seeing this, the others silently kept their distance.
After all, the grassland was vast and open, and it was unlikely that any fool would lie in ambush here.
Due to Chu Qing's condition, it was already evening when they met up with the Bulanduo tribe.
Lvluo, who had been pacing back and forth because of her worry for her mistress, almost burst into tears again when she saw Chu Qing return safely.
When she saw the accompanying Prince of Ning, after the initial shock, she quickly wiped away her tears and bowed deeply.
Great! Her mistress had finally reunited with the Prince of Ning!
She no longer had to listen to her mistress constantly talking about the Prince of Ning!
...
After Lady Zhou and Yu'er sat down beside Chu Qing, Wei Ying's face turned cold again.
Seeing Wei Ying's constantly changing expressions today, Chu Qing rubbed her temples with a headache. Then she gently said to Wei Ying, "My lord, this incident was a misunderstanding. They didn't kidnap me but invited me... as a guest..." At this point, Chu Qing also felt that this statement was a bit awkward. She could only cough awkwardly a few times and continue, "The people of the Bulanduo tribe have been very kind to me. I've gotten along very well with them."
"What did they invite you for exactly?" Wei Ying got straight to the point.
Chu Qing paused for a moment and replied,
"They need you to help Bateer unite the various tribes on the grassland."
"Unite... the various tribes on the grassland?" Wei Ying raised his eyebrows, a glint of interest flashing in his eyes. Then, when he looked at Bateer again, he changed his previous non -chalant attitude and seriously continued, "What's in it for me if I help you? Aqitu has already had internal strife because of its cooperation with Xiliang. But I've heard that Wumushan and Baharnao are not easy to deal with."
After hearing this, Bateer solemnly repeated what he had said to Chu Qing to Wei Ying.
After listening, Wei Ying narrowed his eyes, hiding his true thoughts.
"Fine, I agree to help you."
...
In the Aqitu tribe...
The chief, Alana, was on top of a woman, moving up and down.
Just as things were getting intense, a small soldier rushed in and reported:
"Chief! Our troops that went to attack the Bulanduo tribe have lost contact!!!"
Alana angrily roared "Get out" and tried to continue, but unfortunately... he was no longer in the right state...
Alana instantly lost his interest. He quickly put on his clothes and walked out of the tent, coldly asking, "What's going on?"
"I heard... it was a black - uniformed army..."
"A black - uniformed army?" Alana frowned. Then, as if he remembered something, he was shocked and exclaimed, "The Black Cloud Army!!!"
It was actually...
"Has the Prince of Ning come to the grassland?!" The woman who had just been with Alana also walked out of the tent. With a rather complicated expression, she said.
This woman was none other than Xu Xin, who had been missing for a long time!
