None of the people on the tower were prepared, and Chu Han succeeded in an instant. Princess Duanshu stepped back in panic, calmed herself down, and said angrily: "Chu Han, what are you going to do? Let him go immediately!"

Chu Han sneered, holding Lu Yanluo's hand tighter and tighter, and moving closer to the city wall step by step.

Outside the city, Chu Xuan sat upright on his horse, looked at Chu Han coldly and said in a low voice: "Chu Han, let her go if you still want to live. Otherwise, I will let you know what it means to be worse off dead than alive!"

Ever since Lu Yanluo brought Princess Duanshu and Prince Taikang to the city wall, Chu Xuan had been watching them from outside. It was not until Chu Han caught Lu Yanluo that Chu Xuan's anger was truly ignited.

Chu Han looked down at Chu Xuan and laughed crazily: "Okay, I can let her go, but you have to choose between the beauty and the throne. You can't take all the benefits. For the sake of our brotherhood, I will let you choose now, do you want the throne or Lu Yanluo's life!"

"Chu Han." Lu Yanluo's face was calm, without any panic, as if the sharp blade hanging by her neck did not exist at all. She said calmly: "The Night King's army is already at the gate of the city. Do you think you can stop the army by catching me? Then I tell you, you may be overthinking."

Chu Han sneered, "What else? Chu Xuan treats you as his own apple of his eye. How can he watch you die in my hands? If he really chooses the throne, then I won't lose anything if you take my place on the road to the underworld. After all, Chu Xuan can suffer for this for the rest of his life!"

Under the city wall, the army behind Chu Xuan was solemn and dignified, stretching as far as the eye could see. Lu Yanluo looked calmly at the man sitting upright on the horse, and suddenly smiled, a calm and gentle smile.

Inexplicably, Chu Xuan suddenly felt a surge of panic in his heart: "A Luo..."

"Chu Xuan, since we met, we have gone from hating each other to fighting side by side until now. Now that I think about it, I am very happy and blessed to have met you. I have never been willing to be a stumbling block for others, so this time is no exception. It's a pity that Chu Han wants to use me to threaten you. I can't let him do what he wants. This time, I will help you choose."

Lu Yanluo glanced sideways at Chu Han beside her, sneered, and said sarcastically: "Chu Han, your wishful thinking has failed."

"What……"

Before Chu Han could finish his words, Lu Yanluo took advantage of his unpreparedness and grabbed Chu Han's hand, holding it tightly. Chu Han felt something was wrong and tried to break free, but Lu Yanluo exerted force and dragged Chu Han out of the city wall.

"A-Luo!" Chu Xuan's eyes were bloodshot, and he urged his horse forward, trying to catch the falling person. However, no matter how fast he moved, he could not match Lu Yanluo's rapid descent.

Just when Chu Xuan's eyes turned bloodshot and he was about to collapse, he heard a whoosh sound in the air, and a piece of silver thread flew out from Lu Yanluo's sleeve, with an iron claw at the other end, and it was nailed into the city wall at an extremely fast speed.

In an instant, Lu Yanluo's falling figure was stabilized, and then she turned around to look at Chu Xuan below and smiled brightly.

[How could I die? It's not worth it to be buried with Chu Han, a scumbag. Fortunately, I was prepared. Xie Tianzhang really didn't lie to me. This lead is really a good thing! I must thank him later.]

When leaving Qingzhou, Xie Tianzhang, for some unknown reason, specially gave Lu Yanluo a gift, which was a traction line that looked inconspicuous but was actually extremely powerful and flexible.

By chance, this string saved her life at this moment. If she didn't have this thing in her hand, Lu Yanluo would never dare to jump down so easily.

At this moment, Chu Xuan was already exhausted. He knelt on one knee as if he was exhausted, gasping for breath.

It was almost, just almost, he thought he was going to lose her in this life. If he lost Lu Yanluo, then what would be the use of the throne for him.

There was a sudden bang in front of him, and then an inhuman scream rang out from the city wall: "Han'er!"

Chu Han died, falling from the city wall right in front of Chu Xuan, with his neck broken.

"You'll suffer the consequences if you do evil." Chu Xuan looked at Chu Han, who died with his eyes open, and slowly stood up.

On the city wall, Princess Duanshu immediately raised the late emperor's will in her hand again and shouted: "The traitors have been executed, why don't you open the city gates immediately and welcome the new emperor into the city!"

The old Prince Taikang took the lead and walked down the city wall first to welcome Chu Xuan in person.

Outside the city gate, Lu Yanluo finally landed safely. Chu Xuan quickly stepped forward and hugged her in his arms. His pounding heart finally calmed down.

Lu Yanluo felt the strength of Chu Xuan's embrace on her, knowing that she had really frightened him this time. She helplessly raised her hand and gently stroked Chu Xuan's arm, comforting him, "It's okay, I'm fine."

Chu Xuan leaned on Lu Yanluo's shoulder and said in a muffled voice: "Fortunately you are okay. If anything happened to you today, I promise that I will let everyone here be buried with you!"

With a muffled click, the city gate slowly opened in front of Lu Yanluo and Chu Xuan. Outside the city gate were two people standing side by side with extraordinary demeanor. Inside the city gate, countless civilians and ministers were kneeling on both sides of the street.

"Please invite the new emperor back to the court!" Everyone shouted in unison. Prince Taikang and Princess Duanshu stood in the middle, looked at Chu Xuan with a smile, and slowly knelt down.

Chu Xuan stepped forward and helped the two of them up, very respectfully: "You two don't have to be so polite. The princess and the old prince have made great contributions to my smooth return to the capital today. My father was far-sighted and gave the will to you two. He really didn't make a mistake in choosing the right person."

Princess Duanshu smiled politely and shook her head slowly: "Your return is the wish of the people of Tianji, and it is your own achievement. As for Taikang and I, we are old and it is our duty to do something for the late emperor. From now on, you are the emperor. As the saying goes, etiquette cannot be abolished. You must accept this bow."

As he said this, he slowly knelt down and shouted "Long live the emperor".

Everyone knew that Princess Duanshu's visit was to represent the entire Tianji royal family, including the late emperor, who had recognized Chu Xuan as the emperor.

Chu Xuan did not force it. He stood with his hands behind his back and accepted the gift. Li Bi helped the two of them up again and walked towards the palace together.

Half an hour later, there were few people at the city gate that had been crowded with people just now. No one noticed how Concubine Xian got down from the city wall and ran to the side of Chu Han's body.

Concubine Xian held Chu Han's body tightly in her arms, ignoring the blood staining her clothes, and kept muttering to herself: "My Han'er is the emperor, my Han'er is the emperor..."

Occasionally, passers-by stopped to watch the excitement and shook their heads: "It's their own fault!"

It is said that Concubine Xian went mad and took Chu Han's body to an unknown place. She has never been seen since then. Later, Lu Yanluo, who was already the queen, accidentally heard that there was a beggar at the gate of the capital city. He was crazy all day long and kept saying that he was the queen mother.
