"What are you saying, my wife? Your husband must consider the impact," Qin Yuhang's hand returned to her chest, slipping inside her clothing, his rough hand covering both soft mounds, causing a light tremble in Ye Hui's body: "Then let's shake them off."
Qin Yuhang squeezed his horse's sides; Sai Xue, a well-trained war horse, immediately understood his master's intention and galloped off.
The Eleventh didn't understand, wanting to chase on horseback, but the Tenth stepped forward and blocked him: "Just follow from far behind, don't get too close, you understand."
The Eleventh frowned, then comprehended his brother's meaning, slowing down, driven by a mysterious impulse, staring intently at the distant figures. But the distance was too great, with tall plants blocking the view, revealing nothing.
The passage continues with the characters traveling to Shaping County near the desert's edge, eventually heading to Moon Crescent Lake, a sacred lake for the Qiang people. The narrative describes their journey and the local customs, with the military escort enjoying the lake while being mindful of the presence of the prince's wife.
Ye Hui sighed regretfully: “What a good lake, polluted by these people. From now on, it will be filled with lice and sweat stench. The sacred lake is no longer sacred.” She originally wanted to drive everyone to the Qiang tribe and wash by herself, but now even if she were given a mountain of gold, she would not use the bathwater these people had used.
