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

Su Yanhua, who was standing by, was shocked when she saw this and hurriedly shouted, "General Lian, you must not chase after him rashly..." However, her shout was still a step too late. At this time, Lian Cheng had already galloped out on his horse, chasing after him like an arrow. In the blink of an eye, the two of them disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Oh no! Yan Jingchuan must be intentionally trying to lure General Lian into pursuit," Su Yanhua frowned.

General Li's expression suddenly changed, and he cried out in shock. For a moment, everyone present was thrown into panic.

At this moment, Su Yanhua's heart sank. She quickly turned around, only to find Nalan Yanyu standing quietly before her. Nalan Yanyu looked calm and said slowly, "Don't panic. I've already sent reinforcements."

Hearing this, Su Yanhua was stunned at first, then showed a look of surprise, muttering to himself: "They actually sent someone there?"

But he had already sent people there less than five seconds after hearing the news?

"Did you know that Yan Jingchuan would set an ambush?" Su Yanhua asked.

"I don't know, but the guards who were investigating yesterday noticed something different on the road near the moat, so I sent someone to investigate the cause."

Since there are doubts, why let Liancheng go to fight?

It is impossible that Nalan Yanyu was unaware of Liancheng's temper, and he did not come out to stop him at the critical moment. The moment Liancheng caught up with him, he... appeared!

Things like this made Su Yanhua think more!

Is it what she thought?

…………

"Yan Hua, have you rested?"

Nalan Linglong's concerned voice came from outside the door.

Su Yanhua, who was sitting on the bed, came back to her senses and said, "Not yet, what's wrong?"

"I see you haven't had dinner."

"I'm not hungry. I just want to be quiet."

The air gradually became quiet. Su Yanhua looked around. Rouge, powder, polished bronze mirror, mahogany tables and chairs, and curtains hanging in front of the bed were all carefully arranged.

"Your brother personally arranged your room and didn't let me get involved!"

Nalan Linglong's words still appeared in my mind.

The color was so fresh and elegant, just like the Nalan Yanyu she knew, but for some reason, today's Nalan Yanyu gave her a strange feeling. This feeling came too suddenly, making it difficult for her to accept it for a while.

She knew that after going through all this, people would change. When she saw Nalan Yanyu again, an inexplicable feeling lingered in her heart. She thought she was unfamiliar with him, but today he...

Su Yanhua gently closed her eyes, as if trying to shut out her turbulent thoughts. However, a slight noise outside the door shattered the tranquility. The tightly closed door slowly opened, followed by the sound of steady and firm footsteps, which came closer and closer.

Su Yanhua opened her eyes at the sound, and saw Nalan Yanyu's face, like a carved jade, gradually becoming clearer before her. Under the dim, flickering candlelight, her once frosty features suddenly took on a softer quality. Her eyes, in particular, shimmered like the waters of a deep lake, revealing a captivating gentleness and delicacy that captivated her.

"Why don't you eat?" Nalan Yanyu asked softly, with a hint of concern in his tone.

Su Yanhua stood up slightly, walked around him lightly, and walked to the chair beside her and sat down. She lowered her head, gently fiddling with the corner of her clothes, and replied in a low voice: "Not very hungry..."

Nalan Yanyu pursed his lips. After a moment's silence, he slowly walked over to where Su Yanhua sat, taking a seat across from her. His face was as calm as water, as if he were lost in thought, his entire being radiating an invisible aura of power. For a moment, the room was silent save for the occasional subtle crackle of the burning candle.

After a while, he slowly spoke: "Are you confused about what I did today?"

Su Yanhua raised her head and said nothing.

"I am merely an unfavored prince of the previous dynasty, but Jin Yao is different. She was born into a wealthy family, so those generals obey her orders, not me. Don't be fooled by their respectful courtesy towards me, as they are afraid of my tactics. However, if I want them to truly submit to me, adding fuel to the fire is not enough; a little help in times of need will strengthen their hearts."

"Yan Hua, I have no choice but to do this. I need them now. I need them to help me seize and stabilize my kingdom. Therefore, I can only use these tricks that I used to look down upon to win people's hearts."

"Others may think I'm cruel, but I don't want you to think I'm that kind of person. I need your understanding more than anything I've done, because your thoughts are more important to me."

Faced with Nalan's sincere words, Su Yanhua's heart was in turmoil. She knew that his path was difficult and every step was painful, but when she heard it from his mouth, the resentment just now disappeared.

Yes, Nalan had no choice, never had one. He was not strong, so he could only be manipulated. Being strong was difficult, but being strong enough to become someone you hated was even more difficult. She should understand him, not question him. "I'm sorry, I really didn't think about it that way. I just couldn't fully accept it for the time being. But Nalan, I still want to sincerely thank you for telling me so much. I can understand everything you did. Compared to the methods you are taking now, I actually hope that the two of us can be honest with each other and not hide anything from each other."

Hearing this, Nalan's handsome face curled up slightly, a faint smile forming. He reached out and gently grasped Su Yanhua's soft, fair hands, saying firmly, "Just two weeks ago, I secretly arranged for Jin Yao to go to Qingzhou. Now that Yan State has suddenly launched a fierce offensive, the situation is extremely critical, so I must have her rush here to reinforce us as soon as possible!"

Su Yanhua naturally understood that Nalan was asking for her opinion on the matter, but she couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. She thought Linglong must have let something slip and leaked the information.

You have to know that the number of troops that Yunzhou can mobilize is very limited, only a mere 40,000. Facing such a fierce attack from the State of Yan, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, it is indeed urgently necessary for Yan Jinyao to lead the army to provide support. Thinking of this, Su Yanhua nodded slightly and replied softly, "Everything is up to you. I will obey you!"
