Cut off my tendons in my hands and feet to make me marry? Prepare to die!

In the prince's carriage, Feng Xiaolou leaned his head out and looked behind him.

Seeing Yue Zihuan staggering away from Yue Ran, she felt uneasy.

Did cousin Zihuan pass on the message?

"how?"

A deep voice sounded in her ears.

Chu Hantian cast an inquiring look at Feng Xiaolou.

Feng Xiaolou frowned slightly and said hesitantly:

"Sister Yue Ran doesn't look easy to mess with..."

How is it that the woman was so different from the one described in Hall’s letter?

Since they met today, she felt that everything was going wrong and all the arrangements so far could not be implemented smoothly.

Chu Hantian's eyes were slightly cold, and he said in deep thought:

"She is indeed more difficult to get along with than I thought."

He was greatly surprised that Yue Ran whipped Hall in public today.

She had taken Hall away without any doubts at the beginning, and she had taken good care of him over the years.

How could he become so cruel?

As expected, her hands were stained with blood on the battlefield, and her character was different from that of an ordinary noble lady.

Chu Hantian pursed his lips, with a hint of annoyance in his eyes.

If Hall's line is not important enough, he will have to do it himself.

Although Yue Ran is beautiful, she has been on the march for five years and has a rough temper and is brutal. Now even her appearance has been ruined.

If he had to have such a woman standing by his side in the future, it would be a great shame.

But for the sake of the overall situation, he can only endure for a few days. In the future, he will make Yue Ran pay a hundred times the price.

"Xiao Lou, if we have to follow the second plan, I'm afraid you will be wronged."

Chu Hantian held Feng Xiaolou's soft hand, the coldness in the corners of his eyes disappeared, and his eyes were full of pity.

Feng Xiaolou smiled faintly:

"For the sake of your highness's great cause, Xiaolou is willing to go through fire and water."

She knew that Chu Hantian loved her for being indifferent to fame and fortune.

It’s a pity that Yue Ran doesn’t care about Hall as much as the rumors say.

Even Hall himself did not expect that Yue Ran would whip him in public.

It was a waste of her years of correspondence with Hall, and all her plans were in vain. An orc is an orc, unable to distinguish between true feelings and false intentions, a stupid and useless person.

It seems that Yue Ran treats her so-called savior just like this.

Jinluan Palace.

Emperor Shengwen sat high on the dragon throne, looking at the heroic female general in the court, and his heart was filled with joy.

Beiliang, which had invaded Da Chu for more than ten years, finally asked for peace, which was something that the previous emperor had not done.

"Good! As expected of the daughter of King Dingbei, a good father will have a good daughter, and a family of generals will produce a brave woman!"

"Pass on my decree. The entire Dingbei Army will be promoted three levels. The generals will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold, and the soldiers will all be rewarded heavily!"

"Yue Ran, the commander of the Dingbei Army, is brave and good at fighting. He has made many outstanding achievements. He has the style of his father. He is named General of Cavalry and rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold!"

"I also allow you to ask for a special reward. As long as it does not violate national laws and human ethics, I will agree to it."

"Yue Ran, what reward do you want?"

Yue Ran raised the corners of his lips slightly, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

In her previous life, she was deceived by Yue Zihuan and just wanted to keep a low profile. Not only did she decline this special reward, she also declined the promotion to General of Cavalry.

She will never be stupid again in her life.

Yue Ran knelt on one knee and boldly looked up at Emperor Shengwen:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

"I do have something I would like to ask for your Majesty's approval."

Emperor Shengwen kept smiling and nodded slightly.

He felt a little regretful in his heart. He was too happy just now and gave Yue Ran the privilege in excitement.

If she wanted to ask for military power for the other male members of Dingbei Palace...

He must find a way to refuse.

Emperor Shengwen quietly clenched his palms.

Yue Ran knelt at the bottom of the stairs and spoke loudly:

"I beg Your Majesty to allow me to marry freely throughout my life. No one can force me to marry!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Emperor Shengwen and all the civil and military officials in the court secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Women are women, they only think about marriage and are easy to control.

As if afraid that she would regret it, Emperor Shengwen immediately waved his hand:

"I agree! In my Great Chu, no one, whether royal family or civil or military officials, is allowed to force Yue Ran to marry!"

Yue Ran thanked him with a smile.

For a moment, the emperor and his ministers were all happy.

Only Crown Prince Chu Hantian frowned slightly, and looked at Yue Ran inquiringly with his dark eyes.

He didn't expect Yue Ran to ask for such a favor.

He didn't expect Emperor Shengwen to agree so quickly, and he didn't even have time to stop him.

What’s going on with Yue Ran? Why is everything different from what he expected?

He had already planned to sacrifice a little of his looks to make Yue Ran fall in love with him, and would find a way to get rid of Yue Ran only after the Dingbei Army recognized him.

Now that Yue Ran has the imperial edict from his father, if it is used to force him to marry her as the Crown Princess, how will he respond?

Only a noble woman like Xiaolou, who is as elegant as a chrysanthemum, is worthy of being his legal wife!

Chu Hantian lowered his eyes slightly, hiding the anxiety in his heart.

We should try to do something about Hall's line.

At least the master-servant contract between him and Yue Ran still has great value.

After the court was dismissed, Chu Hantian chased after Yue Ran and tried to stop her to talk.

"General Yue!"

Yue Ran walked briskly.

"General Yue!"

Yue Ran chatted and laughed with many generals.

"Yue... Huh... General Yue!"

Yue Ran was getting further and further away from Chu Hantian.

Finally, a eunuch with extremely fast legs ran forward and stopped Yue Ran. She suddenly realized what was going on and looked back, seeing Chu Hantian, who was panting.

"I did not hear the call from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

Yue Ran smiled and raised her hand in salute.

Chu Hantian frowned slightly, feeling that she was being perfunctory.

At this moment, he wanted Yue Ran to feel good about him, so he had to ignore this feeling of incongruity.

Chu Hantian suppressed his breath and smiled elegantly and casually:

“Ranran is still so naughty.”

After saying this, Chu Hantian felt very aggrieved.

If it weren't for his ambition, why would he be so hypocritical towards any woman other than Feng Xiaolou?

Whatever, it's just a show.

Yue Ran also felt nauseous.

Before she was fourteen, Chu Hantian often called her Ranran.

But now that I am reborn as a human being, everything has changed and nothing is the same.

The person in front of her is not only her childhood sweetheart, but also the culprit who cut her tendons in her hands and feet and sent her to marry in the enemy country!

"Your Highness, you and I are both grown up, and it is really inappropriate to call us children."

Yue Ran's face was extremely respectful and there was not a single flaw to be found in his expression.

Chu Hantian didn't care and smiled even more gently:

"Ranran, you are being too distant. There is no need for us to be so distant. Just call me Brother Hantian as before."

He knew that she had been in the military camp for too long, and she would inevitably feel ashamed when she saw someone as noble and elegant as him.

Yue Ran smiled and said nothing.

Chu Hantian has mentioned Hall intentionally or unintentionally:

"Ranran, although your orc is wild and difficult to tame, he has been with you for many years after all. He was punished at the city gate today. Didn't Ranran go too far..."

"Why not send him back to Dingbei Palace and talk it out in private?"

Yue Ran took a deep look at Chu Hantian:

"Your Highness is very concerned about my orcs."

Chu Hantian kept smiling and nodded reservedly:

"Since he is Ranran's contracted orc, if I hurt him, Ranran will definitely feel bad. I am worried about you, Ranran."

Yue Ran lowered her eyes and smiled, hiding the sarcasm in her eyes:

"He is just an ignorant orc. Even if he is beaten to death, it doesn't matter. Your Highness is worrying too much."

Chu Hantian himself replaced several contracted orcs, both men and women. If anyone offended Feng Xiaolou, those in a good situation would be immediately released from the contract and driven out of the palace, while those in a bad situation would be killed on the spot.

Those orcs who were released from their contracts were ostracized and suppressed when they returned to their own tribes, and they suffered terribly.

Chu Hantian talked for a long time, but Yue Ran just wouldn't listen.

He felt annoyed and thought Yue Ran was arrogant and tyrannical, and he would never say anything to her.

"Ranran, be obedient. Release the orc and take him home to raise. Don't let the people criticize you behind your back."

Yue Ran said with a hint of meaning:

"Since it is Your Highness's request, I will go and solve this matter."

Chu Hantian felt something was wrong when he heard this, but Yue Ran had already taken his leave and walked away in big strides.

That night, the werewolf Hall, who had been hanging at the city gate for most of the day, was finally let down by several Dingbei Army soldiers and carried onto a carriage.

Hall lay quietly in the carriage, rubbing his bruised and swollen wrists, a sneer on his lips.

This time, if Yue Ran doesn’t kneel down in front of him and admit her mistake, he will never look at her again!
