Chapter 486 Tell her to use it sparingly!
"It can't be said to be absolute, but you not only saved Ayao at that time, but you will also influence the outcome of the war between the two countries to some extent in the future."
Zong Que held her fingers. “We are all human, not gods. No matter how we plan, there is no absolute divine calculation. Any factor can cause the future situation to change. This is the reality of politics. Stand firm in your position. After this, every step is uncertain. No one can say for sure whether they live or die. Everyone is the same.”
"So don't feel burdened. Whatever you can do, whether it's a small thing or a big thing, is good and important to me."
After parting ways in Jiangnan, Zong Que spent most of his time recuperating from his injuries. He knew what Lu Yangyang had gone through, and he knew that there must have been many difficulties and dangers involved. Her energy was limited; she could not necessarily save everyone, nor could she guarantee that she herself would be safe and unharmed.
She may be impulsive and make imperfect judgments, but she has never changed her original intention and is doing her best to walk her own path, which is the most important thing.
Lu Yangyang stared blankly at Zong Que. In fact, she had a lot to say to him and a lot to ask him. She had been confused all the way, and she didn't really know what was right or wrong. She only knew that at the time, her inner voice told her that she should do it this way. She could also be impulsive, feel regret, and reflect on whether she had made any mistakes.
She viewed His Highness as both a teacher and a friend, the person she trusted most subconsciously throughout her growth.
He was always able to answer all her questions.
But before she could even ask, he had already given her the answer.
That kind of heart-to-heart feeling, as if they were kindred spirits, seemed to transcend all the senses in an instant, leaving a mark on her heart that was gentler and more steadfast than any budding affection.
It caused her heart rate to become unbalanced.
The rhythm is out of control.
Lu Yangyang heard a voice in her heart, a very unique and firm voice, speaking to her...
It's so good to have Your Highness.
She gazed at him almost greedily, wanting to remember what he looked like at that moment—no, she wanted to remember every single one of his features.
He looked down at her, their breaths mingling softly, and slowly drew closer.
Just as he was about to touch her lips, he paused slightly, gently brushing his brow against hers, and chuckled softly, saying, "It's a little hot."
Lu Yangyang snapped out of her panic and hurriedly touched her own forehead with her palm, then touched his forehead. "Why am I a little hot?"
Zong Que chuckled: "Perhaps I am a little bit like that too."
Lu Yangyang agreed wholeheartedly: "With so many wounds on your body, you're very prone to getting a fever. Don't bother me, I need to treat your wounds quickly. This place is so damp, it's not good for healing."
Then, in a serious manner, he quickly treated Zong Que's wounds.
Zong Que continued telling her about what had just happened: "The reason why the Nalan family is able to wield such a large army is related to their original tribe. They hold high positions in the Northern Yan Dynasty, and they can now command quite a few tribes. Sending Princess Nalan to A Yao and using her connections to establish contact with those tribes and set up trade channels will also elevate her own status. Then, those tribes can send her back to Northern Yan. Even the Emperor of Northern Yan won't easily cause trouble. If you want her to take care of Li Duan in Northern Yan, you must first protect her identity."
Lu Yangyang immediately understood his intention.
If we try to send Nalan Yunyan back to Northern Yan now, what would that make her? A runaway bride? Or someone who couldn't stand the marriage proposal and ran away? Where would that leave the Northern Yan emperor's decree? Even if Nalan Yunyan has her father's protection, she has openly defied the decree for the marriage proposal, and she will likely face a bad end. Even if she returns to Northern Yan, she will face a lot of trouble.
However, if the tribes that the Nalan family once led recognized Nalan Yunyan as a princess, supported her, and sent her back, then the Northern Yan emperor would have to redefine Nalan Yunyan's importance. If he arbitrarily punished Nalan Yunyan, it would be tantamount to disregarding those tribes.
The Northern Yan army is now strong and well-equipped, largely thanks to the support of those tribes. The Northern Yan emperor would never easily offend those tribes, and naturally, he wouldn't care about Nalan Yunyan's elopement. For the Northern Yan emperor, a mere marriage alliance is certainly not as important as those tribes.
If Nalan Yunyan could bring back the supplies that the tribes in the trade market desperately needed and facilitate the transaction, then given her status in the Nalan family, she would naturally gain the approval of those tribes.
Lu Yangyang's eyes lit up as she thought about it. If Nalan Yunyan could return to Northern Yan smoothly and fulfill her promise to help Xiaoli, that would naturally be a good thing. Even if she couldn't, this action would still be able to divide the power of a part of the tribes and prepare for future battles to bring Xiaoli back.
Kill several birds with one stone.
"Your Highness's idea is absolutely brilliant!" Lu Yangyang couldn't help but exclaim.
Zong Que was already exhausted. He had reached his limit to talk to her for even a short while. He vaguely heard her voice and, without realizing it, lowered his head and fell asleep on her shoulder.
Lu Yangyang noticed the weight on her shoulders and realized that Zong Que had fallen asleep.
She had already treated the wounds on his hands and pulled open one of his shoulders. But the moment she pulled down his bloody, tattered undergarment, she was still horrified by the messy scars on his shoulder. There were several arrow wounds on just his shoulder.
He suffered a great deal of injury at that time.
How did they manage to endure it and persevere?
Lu Yangyang's tears fell without warning, and she hurriedly raised her hand to wipe them away, afraid that they would fall on his wound and make things worse.
Zong Que breathed on her neck and mumbled, "Call the guards in, arrange this matter, send Princess Nalan away, separate her from her maid, and leave now."
If His Highness could leave Nalan Yunyan here, then even if he were to kill her, he would never let her leave. Every minute that is delayed increases the uncertainty.
"Someone come here!" Lu Yangyang quickly called out, and soon a guard came in. Lu Yangyang quickly told him Zong Que's arrangements and asked him to make the arrangements immediately.
As soon as the guards left, Nalan Yunyan called out, "Lu Yangyang, Lu Yangyang, come out here!"
Lu Yangyang had no choice but to help Zong Que lie down first, and then went out. Nalan Yunyan had already had her mouth covered by the guards and was glaring at Lu Yangyang with her teeth bared.
Lu Yangyang took out a small medicine bottle from her body, walked quickly to Nalan Yunyan, and handed it to her, saying, "This is a life-saving medicine in critical moments. Give it to Li Duan for me and tell her to use it sparingly!"
