The moment Yan Ling embraced Chu Yuan, she had already calmed down.
His angry eyes slowly regained their clarity. "Xie Wei already has a plan, doesn't he?"
Yan Ling nodded firmly, "Yes!"
Chu Yuan knew perfectly well what was going on. "You and your father-in-law, are you not planning to involve me?"
No one knew better than her how risky Xie Wei was, and even if his scheme was foolproof, it certainly wouldn't be easy.
In fact, even if the father and son didn't say it, Chu Yuan knew that Xie Wei wanted the Yan family father and son to regain control of the Yan family army.
This time, the emperor handed over the military seal of the Yan family army to Xie Wei, but Xie Wei's army was naturally not as united as that of the Yan family father and son.
Furthermore, he also had to deal with the Prince of Pingnan, so he didn't have that much energy.
The battlefield is always a place where one has a slim chance of survival!
At this moment, Yan Ling probably not only didn't want Chu Yuan to come along, but if he had a choice, he wouldn't go himself.
Because he wanted to live well for the child in Chu Yuan's womb.
On the other hand, even if it is a temporary measure, in the eyes of everyone in the capital, the Yan family is a criminal who has been exiled from the capital. If they cannot do something to strongly prove themselves, they will inevitably be talked about when they return to the capital and regain their titles.
After much deliberation, Yan Ling decided to lead her troops to utterly defeat that damned Prince Dayue and see if he would dare to bully Da Gan and its princess again!
Only by quickly resolving these concerns and returning triumphantly to the capital can we provide Chu Yuan and her child with peace and honor.
"Your health makes it inconvenient for you to travel with us in battle..." The father and son's idea was to leave Chu Yuan at this manor for the time being, let her rest and recuperate, and then come back to pick her up later.
Chu Yuan refused, saying, "I've already said, the child won't affect me. On the contrary, while you're fighting on the front lines, I can still do a lot of things behind the scenes. Yan Ling, don't leave me here alone..."
The woman's soft, pleading eyes were like a pool of water, making it impossible to refuse. In the end, the Yan family father and son agreed to let Chu Yuan accompany the army.
The group rode at full speed from Ye City to meet Xie Wei, but less than an hour after they arrived, Jiang Xuening got into trouble!
The Prince of Pingnan's men kidnapped Jiang Xuening and brazenly sent a message to Xie Wei, warning him that Jiang Xuening's life would be in danger if he didn't go alone!
"Brother, are you really going? The Prince of Pingnan is clearly plotting against you; it's too dangerous!"
Neither Yanling nor Yanmu approved of Xie Wei taking such a risk.
Chu Yuan remained silent, knowing that Xie Wei would not hesitate for a moment, even knowing he would die, let alone risk his life for Jiang Xue Ning.
Sure enough, Xie Wei took out several brocade pouches from his bosom. "I used to work for the Prince of Pingnan, so I know his temperament to some extent. Don't worry, I have a way to deal with it. If you don't hear from him within seven days after I leave, open the first pouch and do as it says inside."
Hearing his words, the atmosphere in the room inexplicably became sad.
If there's no news, it means Xie Wei may have failed...
Everyone knows what the fate of the losers will be, but with Prince Dayue causing trouble in front and Prince Pingnan eyeing the future behind, this arrangement is understandable.
This situation was already inevitable before we even left Beijing!
Moreover, once they have dealt with Prince Dayue and Prince Pingnan and returned to the capital, a real battle against Xue Yuan awaits them!
Let's do it! What else can we do but do it?
The next day, Xie Wei went to meet the Prince of Pingnan all alone.
During this period, he ostensibly worked for the Prince of Pingnan in the capital, infiltrating the Jinling forces, but in reality, he was more focused on weakening both sides and strengthening himself while rescuing the Yan family from dire straits.
The Prince of Pingnan may have been deceived at first, but he has certainly seen through it now!
Xie Wei is destined to suffer on this trip.
Before leaving, Chu Yuan gave him a bottle of pills. "Use them when you're injured. As long as you're alive, you can always fight again. You don't need to risk your life just to prove how much you love Jiang Xue Ning. We're both women, believe me, love yourself first before you can love others."
Xie Wei took the bottle, the smile on his lips ambiguous.
Chu Yuan glared at him. "You don't believe me? Then do as you please. It's your freedom to cripple or kill yourself to prove true love!"
Xie Wei raised his eyes and glanced at Yan Ling not far away. "You Er, I have a question for you. If you can answer it well, I will accept everything you just said."
"What?" Chu Yuan raised an eyebrow. Did he still want to stump her?
"If an arrow is about to pierce the throat of a antelope, and it doesn't notice, but you do, and there's still time to save it, what would you do?"
Chu Yuan curled her lips into a smile. "You probably thought my answer would be to rush forward and take the arrow for him, right?"
"What, it's not?"
"Of course not!" Chu Yuan bent down, picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it forcefully, instantly breaking the water vat and causing countless streams of clear water to gush out.
She chuckled softly, "See? I'll use external force to deflect the enemy's arrow. Even so, Yan Ling might still get injured, but as long as he doesn't die, I have medical skills and can save him."
“But if I shield him from the arrow, not only will I die, but my unborn child will also die. So do you think that even if Yanling is saved, there is still any meaning for him to live?”
This time, Xie Wei didn't say anything more.
He stared at Chu Yuan for a moment, then knelt down before Yan Mu, kowtowed in farewell, and then got up and left without looking back.
Yan Mu's cloudy eyes welled up with tears.
"It's terrible! Princess Leyang has hanged herself!" Before the sadness of parting had subsided, another piece of bad news came from the Dayue army tent.
Chu Yuan stepped forward and grabbed the messenger soldier by the collar. "The princess hanged herself? Is she dead?"
