Women disguised as men went to the battlefield and the emperor bowed down in submission.

Seeing Lin Ruoshui's thoughtful expression, Amur, still wanting to relive their past, reached out and touched Lin Ruoshui's chest.

Before they could succeed, a man's voice rang out from outside: "Reporting to the general, something terrible has happened! Last night, three men died in the general's wife's room. The general's wife was violated and seriously injured, and now she is barely clinging to life."

Amur couldn't believe what he was hearing. He quickly got up, opened the door, and asked, "How is this possible?"

A servant said, "It was last night, and this morning, the maids in the madam's courtyard discovered it."

"Who dares to be so bold?"

"General, the three dead men were confidants of Prince Lu."

"What? They deserved to die! Good riddance!"

"I wonder if Prince Lu will hold this against us."

"His men defiled my wife, shouldn't they die?"

"Yes, they deserve to die."

Do you know who did it?

"I don't know, but those three people were all killed by having their throats slit, and their manhood was also destroyed."

"What?! Protect the scene, I'm going to take a look."

The servant left, and Amur, dressed neatly, glanced at Lin Ruoshui, said nothing, and turned to leave.

When Amur arrived at his wife's room and saw his wife covered in filth and bruises, his eyes reddened.

He and his wife were childhood sweethearts with a deep and loving relationship, never imagining that his woman would suffer such persecution.

Amur clenched his fists and ordered his men to wrap the general's wife in a quilt and carry her out.

Amur observed the three already cold corpses and discovered that they were actually three martial arts masters under the command of King Lu.

Unexpectedly, they were killed silently; the killer must have been a top-notch expert.

Amur said to his men, "Investigate, investigate thoroughly, inside and out."

Amur was terrified by the presence of such a top-notch expert beside him; if that person were to attack him, he feared he would be powerless to resist.

When King Lu received news that three of his top fighters had been killed, his first suspect was Amur.

King Lu summoned Amur and made him kneel in the snow.

Amur dared not speak out in anger. His wife had been humiliated, and he could not avenge her. Now he himself had to kneel in the freezing cold as punishment. The resentment in his heart grew heavier and heavier, as if an invisible mountain was pressing on his chest, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

Snowflakes began to fall from the sky. Ling Ye, holding an oil-paper umbrella, slowly walked to Amur's side.

When King Lu saw that the man he loved most was holding an umbrella for Amur, a flame of jealousy ignited in his heart. This flame was scorching and fierce, as if it wanted to burn Amur to ashes.

Amur didn't understand why Lingye was acting this way, so he asked, "Young Master, what do you mean by this?"

Ling Ye said, "General, I heard that the Princess Consort is still alive and waiting for you to return. If you continue to kneel here, you will probably not be able to see her one last time."

Amur was very heavy-hearted, but he still dared not get up and leave.

Seeing that Amur was still so spineless, Lingye squatted down and patted the snow off Amur's shoulders.

Seeing this from afar, Prince Lu nearly ground his silver teeth to powder.

Lingye took Amur's hand and handed him the oil-paper umbrella.

Amur held the umbrella, not daring to throw it away, afraid of offending Ling Ye, who would then whisper in Lu Wang's ear.

From the perspective of Prince Lu, he believed that there must be a secret affair between Amur and Lingye.

Ling Ye returned to the house and said to Prince Lu, "Your Highness, I would like to go outside to enjoy the snow."

The Prince of Lu cherished his newly acquired beauty so much that he couldn't bear to say a harsh word to her.

He thought to himself, "It's good to let him go out for a walk, so that I can make my move against Amur."

Prince Lu said, "Ling'er, go on, wear more clothes, and come back quickly if you get cold. I have important matters to attend to, so I won't stay with you any longer."

Ling Ye nodded, put on his fox fur coat, and went out.

Ling Ye arrived near Lin Ruoshui's courtyard and blew a whistle. Lin Ruoshui, who was lying sprawled out inside the house, heard the whistle and immediately leaped onto the roof.

Ling Ye looked up at Lin Ruo, who was peeking out from the roof, and Lin Ruoshui was also looking at him.

The two locked eyes, and Ling Ye used his mind-reading ability to say, "I've almost lit the fire, all that's left is for you to pour some more oil on it."

Lin Ruoshui gave Ling Ye a thumbs up to express her appreciation.

Ling Ye turned around and walked away arrogantly.

Lin Ruoshui leaped to the outside of Prince Lu's courtyard. The guards at the gate were so stunned by Lin Ruoshui's beauty that they did not stop her for the time being.

Lin Ruoshui entered the courtyard with an air of nonchalance. When she saw Amur kneeling in the snow, she rushed up to him, sobbing, and said, "General, why are you suffering here? In this freezing winter, kneeling on the ground will surely cause you to fall ill. What should we do? Please get up, General."

The alluring voice reached Prince Lu's ears, sending shivers down his spine.

Prince Lu felt the reaction in his body. He couldn't believe it; just hearing a sound was enough to make him feel aroused.

He walked with unsteady steps to the door and stared blankly at the woman in front of him.

She was so beautiful! Standing there, she was like a snow fairy, radiating a dazzling light that made her presence impossible to ignore.

Her skin was as white as snow, her eyes as bright as stars, and her hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, gently brushing against her fair skin, as smooth as silk.

Her beauty took the Prince of Lu's breath away, as if time itself had stood still.

Prince Lu appeared before Lin Ruoshui in an instant and asked, "May I ask who you are, young lady?"

Amur was startled, while Lin Ruoshui was overjoyed.

Amur spoke first, "This, this is a beauty that I found to present to Your Highness."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ruoshui hurriedly said, "General, didn't you say you wanted me to stay with you for a few more nights and to treat me better? Why are you giving me away today?"

Amur said, "Don't talk nonsense, this is Prince Lu."

Lin Ruoshui feigned surprise, glanced at Prince Lu, and said to Amur, "General, are you abandoning me? We were so affectionate last night, and now you don't want me anymore?"

Amur felt as if he had been struck by lightning. Was this woman trying to kill him?

Seeing that the tension between the two wasn't high enough, Lin Ruoshui rushed over and hugged Amur, saying, "Your Highness, I'm already yours, you can't abandon me."

Amur was furious and shoved Lin Ruoshui away.

Lin Ruoshui leaned into Prince Lu's arms, and Prince Lu embraced her slender waist, his heart fluttering.

Lin Ruoshui hurriedly got up and pushed Lu Wang away.

Her push enraged Prince Lu.

He roared, "Amur, you brought such a beautiful woman here, and instead of presenting her to me immediately, you secretly kept her to defile me. Do you still respect me?"

Amur knew that King Lu valued beauty most, and the first thing he did upon arriving in Humusa was to have him search for local beauties.

Now that the Prince of Lu knows that he has found such a beauty and has taken her for himself, I wonder what crime he will be charged with.

Amur knelt and moved a few steps toward Prince Lu's feet, saying, "Your Highness..."

Lu Wang interrupted him, saying, "Shut up! Guards, drag Amur away and give him a hundred lashes."

Amur hurriedly said, "Your Highness, we are facing a formidable enemy. You still have a use for me. Please give me another chance."

Ling Ye stepped out from behind Amur and pleaded, "Your Highness, a hundred lashes can kill a man. Do you want to take the general's life?"

As he spoke, he gazed at Amur with deep affection.

Lu Wang was initially moved by Amur's words, but when Ling Ye pleaded for him, a murderous intent filled his eyes.

He said, "Men, give them another twenty lashes."

Lin Ruoshui knelt down with a thud and said, "I beg Your Highness to show mercy and spare the general's life. After all, he and I have already consummated our marriage. Please let him go for my sake!"

After hearing her finish speaking, Prince Lu became even angrier and said, "Add another thirty strokes of the military rod."

Seeing that the more the two pleaded for me, the angrier King Lu became, Amur hurriedly said, "Stop pleading for me! Are you trying to kill me?"

Lin Ruoshui thought to herself, "Idiot, I'm just trying to get you into trouble!"

Ling Ye followed Lin Ruoshui's example and knelt down to plead for Amur.

Lin Ruoshui immediately started kowtowing, and Ling Ye followed suit, making it feel like a traditional wedding ceremony.

Ling Ye bent down and made a face at Lin Ruoshui, and Lin Ruoshui made an even uglier face at him.

Seeing that the couple were both pleading for Amur, King Lu said sternly, "Guards, drag Amur into the water dungeon and behead him tomorrow as a warning to others. I hereby appoint Li Tingxuan, the deputy commander of Humusa City, to temporarily take over his duties."

Amur was dragged away, and Prince Lu eagerly stepped forward to help Lin Ruoshui and Ling Ye up.

He took Lin Ruoshui's hand and said, "My beauty, would you be willing to follow me?"

Lin Ruoshui nodded shyly.

Without saying a word, Prince Lu picked her up and carried her horizontally.
