Thinking of that scene, Luo Nianxi couldn't help but tremble, then nodded solemnly.

"Okay, it's a deal."

No matter what, she had to see Leng Yiyan first. Only by seeing him could she persuade him to withdraw his troops.

At this time, Chu Hanxiang looked into her arms and asked in confusion,

"What's that on your chest?"

Luo Nianxi quickly tightened her arms and shook her head.

"Nothing much, just some women's stuff."

Chu Hanxiang looked alert and gloomy.

"I can send you out of the city, but you can't take anything from my Prince's Mansion."

He saw how nervous she was about stuffing the item in her chest, and seemed to expect that it might not be an ordinary thing.

During the time she stayed in the Prince's Mansion, he rewarded her with many good things.

She is in the Prince's Mansion, so he can pamper her and reward her with everything.

Now that she was leaving, he would not allow her to take the things from the Prince's Mansion back to Pingyang State.

Luo Nianxi frowned. She was carrying a four-pound blanket in her arms. If she shook it out now, how would she explain it? If Chu Hanxiang dug deeper, then Leng Rujing's childbirth would be out of the question. What would she do then?

"Your Highness, the things you gave me are all in my room. You can ask someone to check. The things in my arms are women's things and are not suitable to be shown in front of others. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Chu Hanxiang's face turned cold in an instant.

"Come here, follow Princess Xi in with a few maids, and check what she brought with her."

It seems that he is determined to see what is in her arms, and he wants to send a few maids in. He is probably afraid that there are not enough people, so she will do something!

If she had known that he had such suspicion, she should not have brought out the four-pound quilt. What should she do now?

She looked at Chu Hanxiang sharply. His eyes no longer had the previous doting look, but were filled with suspicion.

"If Your Highness really wants to investigate, then come with me to the backyard! There are many people here..."

After saying that, she held the things in her arms, strode forward, and headed straight for the backyard.

Chu Hanxiang frowned in confusion and followed him. A guard behind him wanted to follow him, but he raised his hand to stop him.

Luo Nianxi came to the backyard and went straight to an abandoned dry well. Without saying anything, she lifted the well cover. Before Chu Hanxiang could react, she took out the things in her arms and threw them directly into the dry well.

Seeing this, Chu Hanxiang was about to come over to stop her, but found that it was too late.

Then she took out a lighter from Bao'an Hall, picked up a handful of dry grass leaves, lit them, and threw them into the dry well.

Thick smoke billowed out of that dry well...

She did this to destroy the body and eliminate all traces, leaving Chu Hanxiang with no way to trace the body and leaving him speechless.

Only when she saw the fire in the dry well extinguished and black smoke continued to billow did she clapped her hands and turned to look at Chu Hanxiang.

"The things in your Prince's Mansion will stay in the Prince's Mansion. Is that all right?"

"you……"

Chu Hanxiang was so angry at her that his face turned green.

"Chu Hanxiang, don't worry. I said this is my underwear and I won't show it to others. I hope you can understand. Also, all the things you gave me are in Qiuxiang Garden. Not a single thing is missing. To be honest, I am very grateful for your care for me for so long. I hope you won't embarrass Leng Rujing after I leave. This is my last request to you."

She had never spoken to him so gently, but this was the last time she spoke to him.

His heart ached and his fists were clenched tightly.

But now, he could no longer keep her. If he forced her to stay, it would be against the will of heaven and he would be despised by the people and his ministers.

He is the crown prince, and he has to consider the people and soldiers of Northern Chu.

He nodded,

"If you can use your own strength to make Leng Yiyan's 100,000 men withdraw, then Leng Rujing and Chu Hanrui's engagement will still be fulfilled, and the marriage between the two countries will still count."

After hearing Chu Hanxiang's words, Luo Nianxi felt a little more at ease.

"Okay, I will convey my original words to him and try my best to persuade him to withdraw his troops. Now, take me out of the city."

After leaving these words, she was about to walk towards the front yard, but Chu Hanxiang suddenly stopped her.

"Xi girl..."

She looked back and saw him looking at her with red eyes.

"Xi girl, although I have no chance to marry you in this life, I am content to have the chance to live under the same roof with you for so long. From now on, we will be well. You must remember that if Leng Yiyan dares to bully you, come to me at any time. Even if I am alone and try my best, I will protect you."

His words touched her deeply, and she nodded heavily with a smile on her face.

"Well, thank you. I hope you and Hu Jiaoyue's child will be born soon. I hope you will have many children and be blessed."

Until now, Chu Hanxiang still doesn't know that it was Luo Nianxi's credit that made Hu Jiaoyue pregnant.

However, she didn't want Chu Hanxiang to know that after leaving here today, she didn't want to have anything to do with this place anymore, except Leng Rujing.

Chu Hanxiang sighed reluctantly, shook his sleeves, nodded to her, then walked towards the front yard.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were on the two of them. The black smoke that had just come out of the backyard made these people seem to understand what had happened.

……

Leng Yiyan, along with his eight generals and tens of thousands of soldiers, rode on horseback, looking at the tightly closed city gates, waving his sword, and reminded the people on the wall:

"I'll give you three more days. If you don't come out to fight, we'll attack the city."

Hu Zhongguo on the city wall had a solemn expression on his face. It was not that they did not want to go out of the city to fight, but they had no chance of winning.

They are now trapped in a jar. How can it be easy to repel the enemy's 100,000-strong army with only tens of thousands of people stationed in the capital?

The most important thing is that they are afraid of Leng Yiyan. He once fought against ten thousand people alone on the battlefield, which is why he was given the title of God of War General.

Leng Yiyan has been extremely anxious these past few days. He was afraid that the people of Northern Chu would implicate Luo Nianxi and Leng Rujing because of his presence at the gates of the city, so he never dared to attack the city. He thought that he could scare the other side by constantly clamoring at the gates of the city.

Suddenly, the city gate of Northern Chu State, which had been tightly closed, slowly opened, and Leng Yiyan and others hurriedly looked over there.

After Luo Nianxi and her maid Bai Lan walked out of the city gate, the gate slowly closed again.

Chu Hanxiang stood on the city wall, watching Leng Yiyan and his men riding towards her on horseback. He smiled contemptuously and waved his hand.

When Leng Yiyan was only ten feet away from Luo Nianxi, he waved his hand, and countless arrows fell from the sky...

This scene made Luo Nianxi open her eyes wide in horror.

"Leng Yiyan, be careful..."

As soon as she said this, Ling Xiao and others rode their horses and rushed over like crazy to block the arrows that were raining down like dense raindrops. At the same time, Leng Yiyan kept waving the sword in his hand, knocking down the arrows that were rushing towards him.

He rode his horse to Luo Nianxi and stretched out his hand to her. She raised her hand and was about to get on the horse when an arrow shot directly at Leng Yiyan. Luo Nianxi turned around and sat directly in front of him. The arrow hit her chest solidly.
