Rebirth: Find a General as Your Backer

At this moment, Su Lianxue's anger was like a surging tide, almost overwhelming her.

Since arriving in the capital, she has always kept a low profile and acted cautiously, but today she encountered such a blatant act for the first time.

Someone actually dared to openly cast admiring glances at her in front of her.

"Your Highness, I feel terribly dizzy." Su Lianxue frowned slightly, her voice weak, and she looked as if a gust of wind could blow her away, feigning a sickly appearance.

At first, when Chu Mohan heard this, he thought she was just pretending.

After all, the arrival of Chu Moyu, this uninvited guest, did indeed disrupt Su Lianxue's leisurely enjoyment of the scenery.

He knew Su Lianxue's personality; she was usually clever and cunning, and it wasn't impossible for her to use some tricks in this kind of situation.

However, as time went on, he keenly sensed that something seemed amiss.

Su Lianxue's slightly trembling body, tightly closed eyes, and increasingly pale face all stirred a sense of unease in his heart.

Just then, Zhou Qi, who was standing to the side, widened his eyes and anxiously asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

The sharp cry of surprise was like a thunderclap, instantly exploding in Chu Mohan's ears and startling him.

In an instant, his mind went blank, all his thoughts were replaced by worry, and his face was full of concern for Su Lianxue's health.

Almost instinctively, he turned to Xue Huai beside him without hesitation and ordered, "Dock immediately!" His voice carried an unquestionable authority.

Xue Huai also looked at the princess with concern, forgetting that he was supposed to avoid the second princess!

As soon as the boat docked, Chu Mohan picked up Su Lianxue without saying a word and hurriedly left, leaving the two people on the boat looking bewildered, as if time had stood still at that moment.

After a while, Chu Moyu and Ling Shuqing finally came to their senses.

Chu Moyu bit her lip lightly, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes. She couldn't help but snort coldly, saying in a tone full of sarcasm, "Su Lianxue really has some tricks up her sleeve."

Chu Moyu didn't even address Su Lianxue as "sister-in-law," which was extremely disrespectful.

In Chu Moyu's heart, he looked down on Chu Mohan from the bottom of his heart.

After all, Chu Mohan's birth mother was just a lowly foot-washing maid. In the strictly hierarchical harem, such a background was utterly contemptible.

Moreover, he was sent to a remote place like Mofang City when he was young. In Chu Moyu's eyes, such a place was barren and desolate, so how could he have any good upbringing? In addition, after hearing that he had come to the capital, he had been going against her noble older brother Chu Moyao at every turn, which made her hate Chu Mohan even more.

Although she is the second princess, the ranking of princesses is separate, so although she is the second princess, she is also Chu Moyao's younger sister, and is younger than Chu Mohan.

In her eyes, her brother Chu Moyao was like the sun high in the sky, noble and radiant. Someone like Chu Mohan, who came from a lowly background, was simply incomparable to him.

It was precisely because of this that Chu Moyu was easily provoked by Su Lianyi, became dissatisfied, and came specifically to cause trouble for Su Lianxue.

Seeing that Chu Mohan and Su Lianxue had already gone far away, Chu Moyu had nowhere to vent his sarcasm, like a wild beast that had been provoked but had nowhere to bite.

She vented her anger on the servants around her, glaring at them fiercely and berating them incessantly. The servants all lowered their heads, not daring to utter a sound.

Ling Shuqing watched the Prince Rui gradually disappear into the distance, her eyes involuntarily revealing deep affection.

As a woman herself, she was perceptive and saw through Princess Rui's tricks at a glance.

However, despite seeing through everything, she was still filled with disappointment.

Perhaps, in His Highness Prince Rui's memory, she has long been like a fleeting cloud, completely forgotten by him.

But Ling Shuqing could never forget Prince Rui from her childhood; that memory shone brightly in her heart like a dazzling pearl.

I remember that during that grand festival, the streets were decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, bustling with people and incredibly lively.

As a young girl, she accidentally got separated from her family, and the unfamiliar crowds and noise around her filled her with immense fear.

She was so frightened that she burst into tears, and just when she felt hopeless, he appeared.

He was like a ray of light, suddenly illuminating her dark world.

He gently took her hand; though her hands were small, they were full of strength. He looked into her eyes and earnestly told her, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you." At that moment, a warm current surged in her heart, as if all her fear had vanished instantly.

When her family found her, she learned that he was actually the emperor's son.

From that moment on, his image was deeply imprinted in her heart, becoming the most beautiful presence in her soul.

But later, when she was overjoyed and wanted to go find him again, she learned that he had already left the capital. As a child, she was ignorant and had no idea where he had gone.

Later, as time passed, she grew up and began to read and write. Through various means, she finally learned where he was—Mofang City.

That was the border, a remote and dangerous place. How could she, a woman confined to her chambers, easily reach it? Yet, she was truly unwilling to accept that he had become a mighty and valiant general at the border, while she could only silently yearn for him within this secluded mansion.

So she made up her mind and began to practice martial arts. Countless days and nights, she sweated profusely in the courtyard, enduring physical exhaustion and pain, just so that one day she could be closer to him.

However, after so many years, just when she finally felt she had the ability to pursue him, news came that he had married.

This news struck her like a bolt from the blue, shattering all her hopes in an instant. She cried for a long, long time, her tears soaking her pillow, as if she wanted to cry out all the longing and grievances she had endured over the years.

But fate is a strange thing. He was actually going back to the capital. Although the news came that he was going back to the capital for his wedding, a glimmer of hope rekindled in her heart.

Would he still remember her? On the day Prince Rui returned to the capital, before dawn, she had already found a good spot and waited expectantly. Finally, she saw him, the boy she knew from her childhood.

He has changed so much; he is completely different from how he was as a child.

On horseback, he was clad in armor, with a robust physique, broad shoulders, and deep, sharp eyes that gave off a very imposing aura.

She was deeply attracted by his majestic and imposing appearance!
