The Rebirth of a Daughter: My Lord, I Will Never Be a Concubine

"What are you standing there for? Sit down."

The gentle person still had a gentle smile on his face.

Su Yanhua sat down, and the blue-white glazed teapot in front of her emitted a faint mist.

"Your injury hasn't healed yet, is there anything you need to say now?"

Nalan did not answer, but picked up the tea handle and walked towards the teacup in front of Su Yanhua.

Su Yanhua was about to stop him, but found that there was not tea leaves in the teapot, but milky white tea.

Smelling the very sweet scent, Su Yanhua asked doubtfully: "What is this?"

"I know you don't like tea, so I made some milk tea these days. Try it."

Su Yanhua took a sip and found it tasted just as sweet and delicious as she had imagined.

"You don't like tea because tea leaves are bitter. Milk can neutralize the bitterness of teh tarik, so you should like it."

Su Yanhua asked, "Why did you suddenly give me this to drink?"

Nalan Yanyu concealed all emotions in his eyes and showed a hint of seriousness.

"I want to tell you a long story. Would you like to listen?"

For some reason, Su Yanhua suddenly felt a little panicked. Her hand stopped and she didn't know what to say. A thought flashed through her mind, but she was still not sure.

Her mind told her that she shouldn't know, but her emotions forced her to put down her teacup and listen.

"When I was born, a red light suddenly appeared in the sky. Others said that my birth was an auspicious sign. My father doted on me in every way, and my mother became famous because of her son. Those people treated me with great respect, almost to the point of having everything they wanted. But suddenly one day, another country invaded, and we were defeated again and again. Many cities were destroyed, and the entire palace was in ruins. That day, my father asked me angrily: Aren't you an auspicious sign? Aren't you a person of good fortune? Why did you suffer such a crushing defeat? I didn't understand anything at the time. I only knew that those who were dressed in fine clothes and fed me were far away from me. Those who usually treated me with respect beat and scolded me every day. Even my mother suffered a lot of humiliation to protect me. In the end, she was slandered for adultery and jumped into the river to die.

From heaven to hell, that's just like that. Without my father's love, I was like a rat beneath a city wall, someone who saw me wanted to step on me. At that time, I hated this palace with all my heart, hated everything, and in my heart, I secretly hoped that this country would be destroyed. Perhaps the heavens heard my prayers. That night, the flames of war raged. A man in armor and armed with a gun came and killed those who had bullied me. At that moment, I was extremely rampant. He saw me in the corner, and just when I thought I was going to die, I saw a flash of shock in his eyes. Then he dismounted, spread his battle coat behind me, and held me tightly in his arms. I sat on the horse, gradually moving away from the place where I was born. At that moment, I was no longer myself.

When Su Yanhua heard these things, she felt as if her heart was hit hard by a heavy hammer, and a storm was set off in her heart. The strong sense of shock surged into her heart like a tide, making it impossible for her to calm down for a long time.

All the mysteries that had troubled her and puzzled her were solved at this moment, and all the questions found reasonable explanations.

Recalling the moonlight white tea leaves she saw that day, its unique aroma and color still linger in her nose and eyes; there was also the mysterious secret guards who suddenly appeared in Liuwang Village, who moved swiftly and silently, as elusive as ghosts; and in the thrilling assassination incident in Wuhua Mountain, there was another group of well-trained killers who appeared, they were cold-blooded and ruthless, and every attack went straight to the vital point... This series of seemingly unrelated events, now perfectly pieced together like pieces of a puzzle.

It turns out that all of this is because Nalan Yanyu has been trying hard to hide a shocking secret!

"Are you the prince of the previous dynasty?" Su Yanhua asked with difficulty.

This is not a question but an affirmation.

Even when talking about painful things in the past, Nalan Yanyu's tone was very calm, as if he was telling someone else's story like a bystander, and his face was unexpectedly calm.

"I am the seventh prince of the previous dynasty, and the only surviving prince of the previous dynasty."

He said this very lightly. To him, the identity of a prince was like wind and rain, and he had no attachment to it at all.

Su Yanhua didn't expect that such a huge secret would be told to her so nonchalantly by Nalan Yanyu.

"Is that man in armor Lord Nalan?" Su Yanhua asked, "He destroyed the previous dynasty. Don't you want revenge?"

Everyone knows that Lord Nalan is a leading figure of his time, his renown known far and wide. Back in the day, as the previous dynasty crumbled and collapsed, it was Lord Nalan who, with his extraordinary wisdom and ruthless tactics, single-handedly shattered the foundations of its seemingly impregnable rule. It's no exaggeration to say that the previous dynasty's downfall is the most powerful testament to his prowess! Consequently, rumors abound: Without the assistance of a man as wise and courageous as Lord Nalan, how could the late emperor have successfully established the now-mighty Yunqin Empire? And could Nalan Yanyu, a prince of the previous dynasty, truly remain calm and uncomplaining in the face of the devastation of his country and family?

"My father is the one who gave me a second life. He didn't kill me that day because I look so much like his deceased child. He kept me here, hiding it from the late emperor. He was incredibly kind to me, teaching me to read, write, and learn poetry. He gave me so much. Even after Linglong was born, he cared for me in every way and never neglected me. In my father's eyes, I was his most beloved child. Compared to that palace where everyone insulted me, what's the point of revenge?"

Yes, one is a reminder of a devastated region, and the other is a paradise of care and tolerance. Everyone knows what to choose!

"Why are you telling me this? Aren't you afraid that I will betray you?"

Su Yanhua knew Nalan Yanyu was no ordinary man, so how could she easily believe that he never worried about his true identity being revealed? If that were true, why did he secretly and meticulously train so many secret guards? There must be hidden secrets and huge dangers hidden in this.

After careful consideration, Su Yanhua boldly speculated that the assassins who went after Nalan Yanyu on Wuhua Mountain were most likely sent by the current emperor! This astonishing discovery made her realize that the emperor might have begun to have deep doubts about Nalan Yanyu's identity.

Since ancient times, the hearts of emperors have been difficult to fathom. When suspicions arise, they often adopt a ruthless mentality, preferring to kill a thousand by mistake rather than let a single one go. Now that the Emperor has begun to suspect Nalan Yanyu, he will undoubtedly strike with ruthless mercy. Furthermore, if Nalan Yanyu's true identity were ever confirmed, each new person who knew would represent a potential danger and threat to the Emperor. Therefore, the Emperor's blade would only draw closer and closer to Nalan Yanyu's neck, until he was utterly dead.
