Everyone in the hall retreated. Liang Chongyue walked up to Yan Yang, who was already unconscious, and grabbed the iron chain tied around his neck, making a loud clashing sound.

"Host, you should go and rest too. If he dies, the monitoring machine will automatically sound the alarm."

The system was yawning on the side. It was too excited just now and seemed to have twisted its hand. It was a little painful. It would go find Sister Yunling to press it later.

"You take a rest first. This princess is not sleepy yet, so it's a good opportunity to read more."

The system knew the host's situation and did not try to persuade him. It walked downstairs to chase Sister Yunling.

Liang Chongyue took a candlestick from the side, pointed it at Yan Yang's remaining eye, reached out to pull open his eyelids, and was about to take a closer look at his condition when he met Yan Yang's eyes. The next second, the man who should have been dying with slightly dilated pupils locked his eyes with Liang Chongyue, narrowed his eyes dangerously, and gave Liang Chongyue a wicked smile.

Liang Chongyue was frightened by his reaction and subconsciously slapped Yan Yang in the face.

Yan Yang's face was already covered in blood after being beaten by the system. Liang Chongyue slapped him, and the wound on his face oozed blood slightly, flowing down along his knife-like jawline and dripping onto the white cotton cloth that bound him.

"Miss, are you reluctant to let me die?"

Liang Chongyue didn't expect Yan Yang's vitality to be so tenacious. The hand that had just slapped him was stained with his blood, which was sticky and had a fishy smell.

Liang Chongyue suppressed her disdain and smiled at Yan Yang:

"Yeah, if you died, where would I find such beautiful blue eyes?"

After she finished speaking, Yan Yang's eyes lit up obviously and he looked at her in surprise.

Liang Chongyue put down the candlestick, turned around and washed her hands before sitting back at the desk. She ignored Yan Yang's burning gaze and concentrated on reading her book.

Yan Yang coughed up a mouthful of blood. Apart from the burning wound on his face, there was nothing else wrong. He quietly watched Liang Chongyue reading a book, and it was unclear whether his eyes were on the person or the book.

"My lady, if you have ambitions for the throne, why don't you agree to the marriage? I am willing to use the power of the entire northern border to help you ascend the throne."

Liang Chongyue happened to see a place that could solve her current confusion, and did not respond to Yan Yang's words immediately.

"My dear young lady, you have already made outstanding political achievements since you were young. Any one of them is enough to make an emperor's name immortal. Whether it is your two deceased brothers or those princes who have not yet grown up, none of them can compare to you. If they ascend to the throne, the destruction of Daxia will not be far away."

"I know that the young lady is loyal to the emperor and patriotic. Naturally, she wouldn't want to see Daxia destroyed by an incompetent emperor, right?"

Liang Chongyue had already read the last few chapters of "Forty-two National Strategies". Yan Yang was really noisy, so Liang Chongyue picked up the candlestick beside him, blew it out, stood up and walked towards Yan Yang.

"This princess is the guardian princess of Daxia. As long as I am here, the King of the Northern Territory does not need to worry about the safety of Daxia."

After Liang Chongyue finished speaking, she stuffed the candlestick directly into Yan Yang's mouth. The size was just right.

Disdaining the blood on Yan Yang's face, Liang Chongyue used a handkerchief to pad the blood before pinching Yan Yang's face to prevent him from moving.

Yan Yang whimpered, and with his remaining eye he looked at Liang Chongyue aggrievedly, like a young wife.

"If you make another sound, I'll break your jaw and make you unable to speak again."

After Liang Chongyue finished speaking, Yan Yang stopped talking, but Liang Chongyue knew that he was definitely not scared by his two words.

After Liang Chongyue finished reading the last few pages, the candle on the desk was almost burned out and the light in the hall became much dimmer.

Liang Chongyue did not let Yunling keep watch. After packing up the "Forty-two National Strategies", he got up, replaced the candle with a new one, and relit it.

When I turned around and met Yan Yang's gaze, I realized that he was not asleep yet.

Liang Chongyue took the candle from Yan Yang's mouth and threw it into the trash can beside him.

After Yan Yang stretched his sore mouth, he looked into his eyes and said word by word:

"The plague at the border is your fault?"

Before Yan Yang could even finish his words, he smiled and continued:

"The one who knows me best is the eldest lady."

"Why did you do this? The plague isn't that serious. You're the one who has the ability to make this a big deal, but you didn't."

While talking to Yan Yang, Liang Chongyue was looking at his physical monitoring report. Looking at the data, his body was recovering at a slow pace.

Liang Chongyue studied medicine in her previous life. The slowness in the data, when projected onto the human body, is an extremely terrifying recovery speed. Even when she had the Fire Jade on her body, Yan Yang's recovery speed was not as exaggerated.

Liang Chongyue was very interested in this ability, but she had experienced it before. It might come at a great price, and only she knew the hardships and dangers involved.

"Because the young lady's family is there, and one has already died. If more die, the young lady will be angry with me."

Yan Yang had a loving and flattering smile on his face. The end of the scratch on his face had begun to heal, although it was not obvious. However, Liang Chongyue had been paying attention to his every move and soon noticed it.

Liang Chongyue's gaze lingered briefly on the wound on Yan Yang's face before shifting his gaze.

"You can even kidnap me, and you still care about these things?"

Liang Chongyue had taken off most of her hairpins and jewelry, leaving only a white jade hairpin to hold her hair up. One side of her hair fell in front of her, and under the bright candlelight, she was incredibly beautiful.

"What I regret most now is that I didn't tie the young lady tightly to my side like this, and let you escape."

When Yan Yang said this, his eyes narrowed, as if there was a surge of ink in them, and a strong possessive desire was struggling in them like a trapped beast, almost erupting and surrounding Liang Chongyue.

Liang Chongyue lowered her head and smiled faintly, disdainful and indifferent. Yan Yang's emotions, whether real or false, could not cause any ripples in her.

Yan Yang didn't see the smile clearly, but he knew that a man like him would naturally not be in Liang Chongyue's eyes.

It was true that he was responsible for the plague at the border, but he did not make a big deal of the situation for her sake.

The purpose was to buy him time to go back and give it a try. The army sent from the northern border was completely wiped out at the border, and the army left in the northern border would certainly not be able to withstand the fierce attack of Daxia.

The marriage was his selfish desire, and it was also to alleviate the threat of the Great Xia army. If he could achieve both, it would be the only blessing in his unfortunate life. If he couldn't, it was also expected.

After all, King Xia is not a short-sighted beast like the old man, and Liang Chongyue is not someone who is willing to be inferior to others.

"It doesn't matter if you don't believe me. I came here today to discuss a deal with you. After I finish speaking, I hope Miss will consider it carefully and give me an answer."
