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

In Qingzhou City

The maid came to report: "Princess, the prince has sent news that Yan Jingchuan is attacking Yunzhou and asked us to go to support him."

The bright and beautiful woman who was resting with her eyes closed in front of her gently opened her eyes, her face was cold and clear.

"Yan Jingchuan has truly rebelled. Now even he dares to attack me!"

The maidservant said, "The young monarch must be furious at the princess's betrayal. The fifth prince was also forced into this situation, so it's not surprising that this happened!"

"Send the order down, reorganize and return to Yunzhou immediately!" Yan Jinyao asked hesitantly, "What unusual movements have occurred in the Xing Clan?"

The maid pursed her lips and was silent for a moment before she said, "Master Xing is on his way to Yunzhou. He should be attending the Yunzhou recruitment meeting!"

"Prince, can you tell me when the recruitment meeting will begin?"

"No, but probably in the next few days."

Yan Jinyao waved her hand and the maid retreated.

Nalan Yanyuzhao hurried back to Yunzhou for two reasons. First, the recruitment conference was approaching, bringing together talented individuals from all walks of life. Such a grand gathering would naturally be filled with intrigue and deception. Various factions would be secretly plotting, waiting for an opportunity to strike, and a bloody storm was inevitable. Therefore, a sufficiently strong military force was essential to maintain order and security. Second, Nalan Yanyuzhao was concerned that if she stayed in Qingzhou too long, cultivating connections and winning over the people, the people of Qingzhou would no longer be loyal to her.

As for the matter of supporting Yunzhou, Yan Jinyao simply smiled softly upon hearing it. She knew Yan Jingchuan well; he was nothing more than a reckless man who only knew how to wield a sword. Even without her personal assistance, with Nalan Yanyu's ability, he would definitely not be defeated.

Back in the day, Nalan Yanyu was like a flawless white jade, radiating a warm luster, like fairy dust, untainted by the slightest trace of worldly air. However, times have changed, and now Nalan Yanyu has begun to dabble in political schemes and calculations, learning those insidious and cunning methods.

But she didn't know what Nalan Yanyu's purpose was in holding this recruitment meeting?

Yan Jinyao frowned, and the depression in her heart gradually deepened.

I heard that he is going to get married?

.........

On this day, the sun blazed down beneath the ancient city walls. Yan Jingchuan, as usual, stood there, cursing at the crowd atop the walls. However, unlike before, this time he wasn't alone. A large group of soldiers surrounded him, joining in this massive display of insults. The deafening shouts and curses rose and fell, like rolling thunder and the roar of passionate war drums, rumbling endlessly.

Meanwhile, the soldiers towering high on the city walls, though still filled with rage, did not impulsively rush down with their weapons in hand, ready to engage the enemy in a desperate battle. Liancheng, in particular, appeared even more composed and composed, standing firm on the city wall like an indestructible mountain.

At this moment, Su Yanhua stood quietly on the city wall. Her beautiful eyes would occasionally glance at the enemy soldiers below who were shouting and cursing, but more often she would casually fiddle with her slender fingers, as if the noisy scene below the city could not affect her inner peace at all.

The insults from outside the city continued to come, noisy and harsh.

Suddenly, a deep male voice sounded from beside Su Yanhua: "Miss, aren't you angry about this?"

Su Yanhua turned and saw the person speaking was a general. She had some impression of him; he often followed Liancheng around, and she thought he must be someone who shared Liancheng's ideals and shared the same hatred. She had heard others mention that his name was Liu Simou.

Facing Liu Simou's question, Su Yanhua smiled faintly and replied calmly, "Why should I be angry? Letting them yell and curse like this is just a waste of my energy."

Hearing Su Yanhua's answer, Liu Simu couldn't help but chuckle. He then leaned closer to Su Yanhua and asked in a low voice, "Do you know why the Crown Prince has always refused to order us to kill Yan Jingchuan, and even ignored Yan Jingchuan's insults at the city gate?"

"Why?"

She did have this question in her mind, and she had been looking for a suitable opportunity to ask Nalan Yanyu about it. However, Nalan Yanyu was so busy with his affairs that she never found the opportunity to communicate with him.

"You have to know that Yan Jingchuan is a capable general under Yan Jinyao's command! Although Yan Jinyao betrayed the Yan Kingdom, she still cares deeply for this nominal brother and protects him very well. Therefore, even if Prince Nalan wanted to deal with Yan Jingchuan, he would probably be hesitant and would not dare to act rashly!"

"Then why do you tell me these things?" Su Yanhua asked suspiciously.

Liu Simu sighed softly, and after a moment's silence, he slowly spoke, "Forget it, forget it. At this point, it seems I am the only one left to act as the reasonable person. Although the Crown Prince may not care about this, the people of Yunzhou City will never tolerate it like the Crown Prince! When they hear that the Crown Prince has been insulted like this, they will surely be furious and filled with righteous indignation. What's more, Yan Jingchuan has been insulting him here for ten consecutive days. The negative impact this has brought to the people in the city is simply immeasurable..."

"So, you actually hope that I can step forward and handle this matter?" After some thought, Su Yanhua finally understood the deep meaning of Liu Simou's words.

Liu Simu smiled faintly and said mysteriously, "Miss, if you are willing to come forward, that would be great! First, it can help the prince solve his problems; second, it's because you really can't stand such unwarranted insults; and third, it will give you a legitimate reason to deal with this matter!"

Su Yanhua became interested: "Does he have a legitimate reason?"

She and Yan Jingchuan had no relationship at all, neither relatives nor any grudges against each other, so what legitimate reason could she have for joining this battle? Everyone was puzzled by this.

At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out: "It's because your biological father died at the hands of Yan Jingchuan!" As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt striking Su Yanhua's heart, making her stunned in an instant.

In an instant, Su Yanhua felt her mind go blank, as if the entire world had frozen in that moment. And the heartstrings that had been buried deep in her heart, supporting her to move forward, suddenly snapped under this sudden impact.

Liu Simou, who was standing by, keenly noticed Su Yanhua's abnormality. He whispered, "We, as generals, have to obey the orders of Prince Nalan. We really have no choice. However, young lady, you are not a subordinate of the prince, so you don't have to be bound by him. If you come forward to resolve this difficult problem this time, I believe that the people of Yunzhou will be grateful to you!" After that, Liu Simou respectfully shook hands with Su Yanhua, then turned and slowly left, leaving Su Yanhua standing there alone, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.
