After the tragic death of the daughter of the emperor, she returned to her former marriage and refus

"Okay." Yan Yunshu carefully folded the letter and handed it to Xu Jinghuai.

A pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes rolled around twice and said, "No need to send me off, I can go back by myself."

"deliver."

"No, I'd rather not. How can I trouble His Royal Highness King Huai, who is so busy with affairs of state and has forgotten to eat and sleep, to send me back? In this icy and snowy place, I'd better walk back step by step. If I freeze to death on the roadside, I hope His Royal Highness King Huai will send my body to my grandfather. Remember not to send my body to the Prime Minister's Mansion. They will not let me go even if they die."

Xu Jinghuai's face was full of black lines and he was speechless.

"There's no need to be so serious. I'm not that busy yet. I'll just send it off if I say so."

"That's really not necessary. I'll leave now. Your Highness, please remember to collect my body."

“Send, send, send, send, send!! It’s not forced!!”

"Alright, since Your Highness Prince Huai wants to send me off so badly, then I'll let you do it! It would be even better if Your Highness could also take the opportunity to help me show my father some power..."

Yan Yunshu said this with a sly smile on her lips.

"..." Upon hearing this, Xu Jinghuai fell silent. As smart as he was, how could he fall into her trap of half-heartedly accepting and half-rejecting?

"I want my father to stop whipping me, and stop locking me up in the woodshed..."

That sly smile didn't fade.

Xu Jinghuai's expression, which was a little speechless just now, gradually became solemn. After hearing the last sentence, he clenched his hands tightly, and his face, which had been as cold as ice for thousands of years, exuded an oppressive chill, as if he wanted to kill people without being seen.

Yan Yunshu counted on her fingers, one by one, "Don't always call me an evil creature, a beast..."

Xu Jinghuai's face became colder and colder. Yan Yunshu kept nagging for a long time, and finally finished. She raised her head and saw Xu Jinghuai's serious expression.

"Is it because there are too many to remember? It doesn't matter if you can't remember. Just tell him and leave him alive." After Yan Yunshu finished speaking, she looked at Xu Jinghuai inquiringly.

Xu Jinghuai had a sour face and didn't say anything.

She felt a little uneasy.

She was testing Xu Jinghuai.

She knew that she had the benefits that Xu Jinghuai wanted. For Xu Jinghuai, these benefits were just icing on the cake, not essential.

But it is better to add icing on the cake than to kick someone when he is down. He has to take it even if he doesn't want it!

But Xu Jinghuai was, after all, her mortal enemy in her previous life, and also her enemy with whom she quarreled every day during her childhood in this life. Even when she was a teenager, she often verbally humiliated him for Xu Jingye and was extremely presumptuous.

He might even harbor a grudge against her!

So she really couldn't be sure.

Is he really willing to "use each other" with her?

But in her plan, she needed his help! She really needed him! He was indispensable!

Seeing that Xu Jinghuai had not responded for a long time, she anxiously grabbed Xu Jinghuai's sleeve.

"Xu Jinghuai, my grandfather is Lord Wen, a veteran of three dynasties!"

In this life, she had never thought of involving her maternal grandparents in this matter. Right now, she just wanted to "threaten" Xu Jinghuai. If you don't cooperate with me, I will use my maternal grandparents to pressure you!

Xu Jinghuai's expression turned even uglier. He said in a low voice, "Let's go."

After saying that, he put a cloak on Yan Yunshu and then walked forward on his own.

I didn’t say yes, and I didn’t say bad either.

Yan Yunshu stood there in a daze for a moment, then hurriedly caught up with him.

"Xu Jinghuai!! You believe me!!!"

Although she doesn't have the ability to bewitch others like Yan Shuyao, she has a sincere heart to help him, and this heart is still sincere and passionate!

In the carriage, Xu Jinghuai looked at Yan Yunshu's flattering face, but thought that Yan Yunshu had the ability to bewitch others.

Over the past few years, she had been making things difficult for herself because of Xu Jingye, who ignored her feelings and wasted her efforts.

What’s the difference between how Xu Jingye treats her?

The only difference may be that.

She did not hurt herself physically, but her heart had already been stabbed to pieces by Yan Yunshu, leaving nothing behind.

Now, she is flattering me and asking me to marry her!

Marry her, but her words showed that she had not completely let go of Xu Jingye!

It’s really abominable!! But so what!

He still couldn't let it go! He couldn't refuse.

So, when Yan Yunshu walked into the prime minister's residence alone.

He endured it again and again, but finally spoke.

"Yan Yunshu, you must live well."

Yan Yunshu smiled.

He agreed.

He took a few steps back and watched her disappear.

He got on the carriage. Beside him, Xu Jinghuai's trusted guard, Ying Feng, who was also the secret guard on the beam today, was puzzled. "Your Highness, didn't you say you would accompany Miss Yunshu in?"

"She never thought of asking me to go in and help her. It was her family matter, her face and dignity. She said she could handle it, so I trusted her one last time."

"But Miss Yan Yunshu didn't say she could handle it!"

"You do not understand."

"Oh!"

"How's the investigation into the Moon-Watching Battle going?"

"Your Highness, the clues have been cut off in Hulu Alley, and we are searching door to door."

"Well, we must find out. No clues in the alley can be missed." Xu Jinghuai's face was heavy.

It was a brutal war.

In the autumn of a year ago, the border of Tianze Kingdom was repeatedly invaded and harassed by its neighboring country Hansha Kingdom. Hansha Kingdom occupied several border cities of Tianze Kingdom, burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of atrocities.

The emperor was furious about this and appointed the second prince Xu Jinghuai to go to the border in person to drive out the enemy and save the people from danger.

Xu Jinghuai lived up to everyone's expectations and recaptured all the cities in just over a month. Afterwards, he commanded and dispatched troops day and night.

Rebuild homes and recuperate together with the people.

Everything is moving in a good direction.

Unexpectedly, a few months later, the city where he was stationed was suddenly invaded by the army of Hansha Country. The other side obviously came with a purpose and attacked Wangyue City where he was like crazy. Suddenly, there was a continuous war outside Wangyue City, and smoke rose everywhere.

Xu Jinghuai, who was guarding Wangyue City, immediately sent people to ask for help from the court, and then quickly joined the battle. He used his extraordinary calmness and wisdom to withstand the army's crazy attacks again and again. A few days later, the Hansha Kingdom, which had been besieging the city gate for a long time but failed, suddenly changed its strategy and surrounded Wangyue City without any scruples.

It was a snowy day, just like today.

He stood on the city gate, looking into the distance with a deep gaze. The fact that the Hansha army could adopt a siege strategy so confidently made Xu Jinghuai realize that this was a losing game.

Reinforcements will not come after all.

The food reinforcements requested a month ago have not arrived.

A spy appeared in Tianze Imperial City and blocked Wangyue City's request for help.
