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

As soon as the words fell, the already existing expressions of fear on everyone's faces instantly magnified infinitely! Everyone's eyes widened, their mouths slightly open, but no sound came out. Because they clearly realized that the current situation had completely left them with no choice.

In this suffocating atmosphere, everyone's bodies began to bend uncontrollably, their knees slowly touching the ground before they prostrated themselves completely. Their movements were perfectly synchronized, as if they had been rehearsed countless times beforehand. Then, they all banged their foreheads heavily against the ground, emitting a dull yet resounding clatter of kowtow.

"We are willing to obey the orders of Prince Nalan!" These words full of awe and obedience were shouted out in unison from the mouths of the crowd, echoing in the entire space for a long time.

At this moment, everyone's gaze was fixed on that figure. Nalan Yanyu stood erect, proudly towering like a sturdy pine tree. His upright posture and majestic presence commanded attention. In that instant, it felt as if time had frozen, and Nalan Yanyu, this brilliant new star, was destined to rise slowly across the vast universe, radiating a dazzling light.

At present, the three states are in a three-way balance of power, and with the addition of the 50,000 soldiers led by Xuan Yi, Nalan Yanyu now controls a full 150,000 troops. Such a huge military force makes it a powerful force that cannot be underestimated in the world situation.

The next morning, just as the eastern sky was turning pale, Nalan Yanyu rushed to the Huaibei town to handle many affairs. Inside the house, Su Yanhua woke up slowly. Before she could fully open her eyes, a maid came forward and served her carefully. She leaned lazily against the head of the bed, looking at the maids who were busy shuttling in front of and behind her with a hazy look in her eyes, but her thoughts drifted away involuntarily. In a trance, Cui'er's familiar face appeared in her mind, and her heart tightened. She thought to herself: Since we parted that day, I wonder how Cui'er and the others are doing now? I guess they must have been brought back safely by the Mo Ce people...

Just as she was thinking, she heard a maid beside her whisper, "Miss, Prince Nalan specifically told her before leaving that he was busy with work today and probably wouldn't have time to come back for dinner with you, so you don't need to wait." Su Yanhua nodded slightly, indicating that she understood. After all, they had just successfully captured the Huaibei area, and there were indeed many urgent matters that needed to be properly handled to ensure stability. "By the way, what about the people outside the protective boundary?"

"Still outside the protective boundary." The maid replied.

After Su Yanhua finished his meal, he came to the outside of the protective boundary. The wind and sand were blowing all over the ground, but the people were entertaining the kind-hearted people as usual.

Su Yanhua walked up to her. The old woman saw her and smiled, "Miss, have you eaten?"

Su Yanhua smiled and said, "I'm done eating. What are you doing?"

One of the patriots said, "Prince Nalan knows we are here to recruit, so he specially gave us a few camels to help us travel faster. After this meal, we will be on our way."

As he spoke, the man pointed to the tall camels on the yellow sand, all of them strong and healthy.

"That's good. By the way, do you know where the man who came with me is?" Su Yanhua asked.

"Is it the man with a cold face and wearing goose yellow clothes?" the man asked.

Su Yanhua smiled and nodded.

"It seems to be heading north."

The sky was filled with yellow sand and dust, and the figure in goose yellow clothes almost blended into the sky and the earth. The figure was so thin that it seemed as if it would be blown down by the wind.

Su Yanhua walked forward and looked into the distance. There was no end to the sand covering the mountains and plains.

"what's your plan?"

Xie Wei was stunned. He turned and looked at Su Yanhua with calm eyes.

She said in a deep voice: "Why didn't you hide last night?"

A ripple flashed across Xie Wei's eyes. He turned back, sat down, sighed, and said after a long time: "Since I was a child, I knew that I was carrying the responsibility and destiny of a sect. My father forced me to learn martial arts because they said I was a martial arts prodigy, but I didn't like it at all. I wanted to become a martial arts master. I practiced martial arts every day, lost my freedom, lost my happiness, and that period was dark. If I didn't practice well, I would be punished. Only Jiaojiao would protect me and become a trace of warmth in my dark world, but the good times didn't last long. In a competition, I lost to Chu Wuqi. My father was so angry that he beat me, but Jiaojiao never protected me again. Her eyes were all on Chu Wuqi..." At this point, he laughed out loud, but it was inexplicably bitter: "My mother doesn't like me, my father doesn't love me, and even Jiaojiao is no longer my warmth. What does it matter whether I live or not?"

Su Yanhua suddenly remembered that she was just like Xie Wei in her previous life. She fell in love with the wrong person, didn't like martial arts, and was a miserable person.

"Have you ever thought about finding something you like?" Su Yanhua said softly.

"Something you like?" Xie Wei looked at Su Yanhua blankly.

"You only have one life, so of course you should live for yourself. When you die, you're just dust. Why bother with those expectations? To put it bluntly, they're just imposing their own unfinished business on others. You're not them, so naturally you can't live for them." Su Yanhua looked at him, her eyes serious and focused. "The first time I saw you, I felt you were very transparent, your emotions were uncontrollable, as if you were floating. Now I know why you're like this. Xie Wei, change your name. I think you should find your own look and treat yourself better. You're just a child of the sky, no different from plants and stars."

After saying that, Su Yanhua glanced at him and turned away.

…………

Su Yanhua stayed in Huaibei for five days. During these five days, Nalan Yanyu dealt with the remnants of Huaibei with thundering means. The protective barrier that had been in place for many years was also withdrawn, and the people who had suffered greatly were welcomed back to Huaibei. A series of measures and system loopholes were rectified.

The carriage drove slowly. Nalan Yanyu looked at her gently and said, "I haven't seen you for a year. You've lost weight!"

Su Yanhua smiled: "Why not talk about you? You look even thinner now than you were back then."

Not only did she lose weight, her whole temperament changed!

Nalan Yanyu smiled bitterly: "When I took this step, I expected it."

Hearing this, Su Yanhua paused her clenched hands. She raised her eyes and asked, "By the way, did Linglong give you the blood coagulation bead?"

Nalan Yanyu nodded lightly: "She told me about seeing you. I was worried about your safety, so when I knew you were in Huaibei, I rushed over."

Su Yanhua was stunned. She heard the old woman say that Nalan never came to Huaibei. Was it because of her that he closed the business earlier?

"What about your knees?" Su Yanhua asked. She looked at her knees covered by a thin blanket and unconsciously held them.

"The blood coagulation beads are too strong and often cause a period of pain, but after it's over, you'll feel much better!" Nalan held the pair of fair hands and said softly, "Don't worry about my legs. It's only a matter of time before they're fully healed."

Looking at the pair of tightly clasped hands, Su Yanhua's eyes felt a little unnatural, but she still did not pull her hands away. She looked at Nalan Yanyu and smiled gently.
