Having left the door of the east wing room, Li Xianyun was still worried about the few children. She looked at Youlan and said, "Youlan, you stay here to accompany them to sleep. Their families should be here by morning."
"Yes."
Seeing Jinwu looking hesitant to speak, Li Xianyun smiled and said, "Guard Jinwu, you stay and protect Youlan. If even a single hair of Youlan's is missing, you alone will answer for it."
Jinwu's eyes lit up, the gloom completely dissipating as he quickly smiled and said, "Thank you, Princess Consort."
As soon as he finished speaking, he realized he should first seek the permission of his own Khan, as he was under the direct command of the Khan.
Jinwu turned towards Yelu Yan, bowing with his arm across his body, and said, "If I may report to the Khan, may I...?"
Yelu Yan kicked Jinwu with his foot and said, "Whatever the Princess Consort says goes. Even I must listen to the Princess Consort. Why do you ask me for permission?"
