Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 1033 Chasing the Clouds 01

Yuwen Ying has been very troubled lately.

Her elder brother, Yuwen Tuo, sent a letter from Nanmeng, saying that he had been seriously injured while suppressing bandits and was now in critical condition. He wanted to see her and urged her to return home immediately.

At this time, Yuwen Tuoren was still in Southern Mongolia, in the Daganlu League.

Lu Beimo is a man of his word. He promised to return the Daganlu Alliance to Yuwentuo, and several years have passed, yet the Chu family army has indeed shown no intention of waging war against Yuwentuo.

Even earlier, Chu Yueli developed a type of potato suitable for the climate of southern Mongolia and had the seeds sent to Yuwen Tuo.

Now, this new variety of potato has also been planted in Daganglu League, with a very high yield, which has solved the famine problem for many people.

After the conflict subsided, everyone focused on developing agriculture in the already impoverished southern Mongolia, and the lives of the people improved day by day.

However, her older brother has been "injured" frequently in the past two years, and each time he was so badly injured that he seemed to be about to die.

Yuwen Ying only went back once, and after discovering that she had been deceived, she immediately returned to the Northern Frontier.

I never went back after that.

I don't know if the injury is serious or not.

In her opinion, it was mostly fake.

The envoy, General He, said sincerely, "Princess, the Prince is indeed seriously injured and has lost a lot of blood. The doctor said he won't last more than three months. You see, it has already taken me more than half a month to get here. After this round trip, I don't know if the Prince can hold on."

Seeing that Yuwen Ying remained silent, General He continued, "Princess, even if you really like this place in the Northern Frontier, at least go back and see the Prince first, okay? The Prince has always been thinking of you. If... if he can't see you before he leaves, the Prince will... surely not rest in peace."

"Are you cursing my brother? Aren't you afraid your words will come true?" Yuwen Ying rolled her eyes at him.

General He quickly stopped talking, but still advised, "This humble general... this humble general certainly hopes that His Highness can recover, but His Highness really wants to see you right now. If the princess comes back with this humble general, perhaps His Highness will be happy and his injuries will improve. Princess, you don't really want to see His Highness get hurt, do you?"

Yuwen Ying glared at him again, but didn't say anything.

Of course, she didn't want to see her brother get into trouble, but this time, her brother was probably just trying to trick her into going back.

Southern Mongolia is relatively peaceful now, and even if there are occasional raids, it's unlikely that my brother would personally be involved, so the possibility of him being seriously injured is slim.

However, she has indeed stayed in the northern border region for quite some time now—four years, which is neither a long nor a short time.

What's most frustrating is, what was the point of her staying here for four years?

Sure enough, even General He raised this issue: "Princess, even if you don't want to see the Prince, you should think about why you still want to stay in the Northern Frontier. The Northern Frontier is someone else's territory; after all, this is not your home."

There were some things General He dared not say, but the prince said he must make things clear to the princess.

So, after hesitating for a moment, General He finally mustered his courage, looked at Yuwen Ying, and lowered his voice:

"Princess, the Prince knows you like the Ninth Prince of Dongling, but the Ninth Prince doesn't like you at all. Not only does everyone in the Northern Frontier know about your feelings for the Ninth Prince, but even the people of the Daganlu Alliance know. It's so obvious. If the Ninth Prince really had feelings for you, would he have let you go through the prime of your life?"
