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

Nalan Yanyu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile as he replied, "I wasn't feeling hungry at the time." Then, as if changing his expression, he quickly put away his smile, turned his head back to his cold and ruthless look, and mercilessly ordered them to leave: "This prince has no need for these things at all. Leave immediately!"

Such a ruthless rejection made Lianzhu pause. Her almond-shaped eyes were filled with tears. She stubbornly handed the things to the guard outside the door and said angrily: "Anyway, I did it, I'll leave it here!"

After saying that, he turned around and ran away, disappearing without a trace.

Everyone looked at each other, but no one said anything.

Nalan Yanyu was not affected at all. He looked at Nalan Linglong who was still standing and asked, "What are you still doing here?"

Nalan Linglong raised her head: "I'm not giving this to you, I'm giving it to Yan Hua!"

"Yan Hua, come quickly, I've been stewing it for hours!"

Facing Nalan Linglong's shout, Su Yanhua was very amused. She looked at Nalan Yanyu, who happened to open his lips and said gently: "Go, go back after you finish eating, and go to bed early!"

Su Yanhua nodded, turned and left.

…………

"I really don't know whether you really don't care or are just pretending not to care!" Nalan Linglong said with a disappointed look.

"What do you mean?" Su Yanhua sat on the edge of the bed and picked up the soup.

"Have you seen the woman who appears again and again?" Nalan Linglong said, "She likes brother!"

Su Yanhua's hand paused slightly.

"She's General Lian's younger sister, Lian Zhu. General Lian is from the State of Yan, a descendant of a prominent official from the previous dynasty. He has a very close relationship with his brother, and he only has this one sister. As soon as Lian Zhu saw her brother, her eyes never dropped. You know, this woman is quite scheming..."

"Xinji, I think she is quite friendly!" Su Yanhua said.

Her behavior reflects the thoughts of a young girl in every way, and she looks like she is well protected!

"Look, you've been fooled. This is her cleverness. She used the little white flower's tricks to deceive brother's sympathy. After all, she looks pitiful and pretty. Which soldier in the barracks can escape her eyes? Fortunately, brother has never been fooled by her. You have always been in his heart." Nalan Linglong said at the end, his brows relaxed.

Su Yanhua's grip on the spoon tightened, and she changed the subject: "Are all the generals around Nalan Yanyu from the State of Yan?"

Nalan Yanyu once revealed that during the thrilling fall of the previous dynasty, he and a noble imperial sister were the only ones to escape. And the moment he decided to rebel, Yan Jinyao rushed to his side without hesitation. Therefore, deducing Yan Jinyao's true identity is not difficult.

However, Yan Jinyao, concealing his actions from everyone, secretly tracked down those remnants of the previous dynasty who had managed to escape the catastrophe, and secretly hid them within the Yan State, carefully cultivating them. Alas, the ignorant Emperor of the Yan State was completely unaware that his important officials had been sidelined! It's no wonder that after Yan Jinyao and his people left, the vast Yan State was instantly reduced to a hollow shell.

As for the war that is about to break out tomorrow, it can be imagined that it must be a hasty decision made by the young and energetic emperor in anger.

At this moment, Nalan Linglong showed hesitation on her face and said softly: "Yanhua, about the death of General Su..." She knew very well in her heart that the death of General Su would always be a deep scar in Su Yanhua's heart that would be difficult to heal.

What's more, nowadays, Yan Jinyao is not only the biological sister of her brother Nalan Yanyu, but also the most critical and indispensable helper in her brother's game of fighting for the world.

Su Yanhua has little hope of revenge.

"I have forced myself not to think about it these days. I also know that the moment Nalan was captured, Yan Jinyao had to kill his father in order to save Nalan's life, but I can't completely ignore it. But I understand that for Nalan, I must endure it..." There was a bitter look on Su Yanhua's lips.

After all, Su Bing's death was just a victim of war. She knew that Yan Jinyao should not be blamed in the overall situation, but she couldn't let it go.

.........

As darkness fell over the land, and all was silent, a sharp, rapid blast of a horn suddenly pierced the night sky, shattering the stillness. The Yan army surged forward like a surging tide, their speed far exceeding anyone's expectations. Clearly, these enemies were filled with rage and were advancing with fury.

At that moment, the enemy could no longer suppress their rage and finally decided to take action. Groups of enemy soldiers rushed forward like a surging tide, holding flaming torches high in their hands and throwing them into the moat without hesitation.

Instantly, the fire spread rapidly, the flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire battlefield. The river, which had been flowing peacefully, now seemed to have transformed into a fiery dragon, tumbling and roaring, emitting suffocating heat and thick smoke.

At the same time, deafening cries of killing and the sound of clashing rang out on the battlefield. Strong soldiers tightly grasped massive clubs several meters thick and then, with all their might, slammed them against the city walls. Each impact resounded like thunder, shaking the entire city wall.

This situation lasted for several hours until noon, when the shouting and sounds of fighting gradually stopped.

In the military camp

"Report—"

A soldier rushed in and said to Nalan Yanyu who was sitting in the main seat, "Prince, they have stopped the attack, and the moat has not been affected at all."

After several hours of gunfighting and collisions, there was no impact at all. For the enemy, it was a heavy blow.

Many soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that the girl has foresight, otherwise we would be at a loss as to what to do if they resorted to fighting with gunfire!" One of the generals said with a gentle look.

"General Li is too modest. I just pointed out the problem that everyone can see, just a little earlier." Su Yanhua had some good impression of General Li.

"If the enemy knows that a fierce attack is ineffective, they will definitely not adopt this method. We can't let them continue to attack like this without attacking." said one of the generals.

"Obviously, the enemy must be furious after launching such a fierce attack right from the start. There's no need to take any action for the next few days. Once they've vented their anger, it's time for the real battle."

Nalan Yanyu stood up and his voice reached everyone's ears: "Leave him alone for the next few days, and send someone to keep an eye on him at all times."

"yes--"

As Nalan Yanyu had predicted, the enemy's offensive momentum showed no sign of weakening for several days, but instead grew even more ferocious. As if devoting all their strength to this attack, they continued to attack without holding back. After each attack, the enemy retreated like a tide, only to regroup briefly before surging forth again.

Sometimes, they choose to launch a surprise attack in the middle of the night; other times, they choose to launch an attack before dawn, when our defenders are exhausted and least vigilant.

Over time, this irregular and frequent attack method made it difficult for everyone on Nalan Yanyu's side to sleep peacefully, and even those battle-hardened generals couldn't help but feel a little resentful.
