Yun Hu Bu Xi (Forty-five)

The rain grows heavier, and the two armies remain in a standoff.
The crown prince's face looks grim.
She realizes that she is subtly at a disadvantage.
Where did her royal sister find these people who fight even better than women?
“Brothers, charge.”
The people behind King An became increasingly excited as they fought.
"What are you standing around for?"
The Crown Prince shouted in anger: “Fight for me.”
It was impossible to make her concede.
“Clang.”
The soldiers exchanged glances, and after a long moment, someone put down their weapon.
The prince's every move was simply chilling to them.
Seeing one person like this, the others hesitated for a moment before following suit and dropping their weapons.
“We surrender.”
“Do you all want to rebel? I command you to quickly pick up your weapons.”
The prince's eyes were about to burst with rage; his expression was frantic as he wildly swung his sword, killing several soldiers.
The other soldiers who were still watching the scene then also laid down their weapons.
```htmlFollowing this kind of person, what future do they have?
Prince An's eyes sparkled with a hint of mockery.
The Crown Prince is just this kind of person, full of righteousness and morality, but when push comes to shove, she'll just hide behind.```
“Those who wish to leave may do so voluntarily.”
Prince An declared loudly.
“Prince An.”
The Crown Prince's eyes were red: “It seems you are determined to oppose me?”
Prince An did not respond.
From the very beginning, she never wanted to oppose the Crown Prince; it was the Crown Prince who kept forcing her.
“Good, very good.”
The Crown Prince laughed in anger, "In that case, this palace won’t let you have it easy; you will never know the whereabouts of the imperial seal in this lifetime."
“The imperial seal?”
Finally, the Prince of An showed some reaction.
She took out a square object from her bosom and said calmly, “I have already obtained it.”
Before setting off, she made a trip to the Prime Minister's residence.
The Prime Minister solemnly handed over the imperial seal to her.
"Is it really the imperial seal?"
The officials behind the Crown Prince rubbed their eyes in disbelief.
They had originally thought the Empress favored the Crown Prince more, but unexpectedly it was the King An.
"How could that be?"
The crown prince shook his head.
No matter how she pressed, Ning Xiao would not give in.
……
And this imperial seal is now safely in the hands of the Prince An.
“老臣拜见陛下。”
Now that the Prince An is clearly at an advantage, and with the imperial seal in hand, his ascension is a done deal.
她们不傻，自然选择最有利的一方。
"You..."
看着这些墙头草，太子气地身体不住颤抖。
“殿下还是降吧！”
有大臣真心实意地劝道：“您与陛下一母同胞，若您降，陛下肯定会手下留情。”
This is something that even the Crown Prince doesn't believe.
Prince An hates her to death.
If she falls into the hands of the other party, she won't survive at all.
But the current situation does not allow her to have any other choice.
Just then, an arrow suddenly flew through the air.
“Rustle.”
The Crown Prince's eyes widened as he looked up directly at Ning Xiao, who stood high above.
That arrow had come from her hand.
Ning Xiao calmly put away her bow, her eyes glinting with a cold light.
The crown prince staggered and fell to the ground with a loud bang.
Dead.
The crowd exchanged glances, following the direction of their gaze, and discovered that the person who shot the crown prince was someone they did not recognize at all.
“Your Highness, should we send someone to pursue?”
A person behind the Prince of An whispered.
Such a formidable enemy cannot be overlooked.
"No need."
The Prince of An gently shook his head: “Let her go.”
Her purpose today has inadvertently been achieved.
```htmlShe hated the crown prince, but she couldn't personally kill him because the law stipulated that siblings should not harm each other.
But Ning Xiao was different; she was now just an ordinary commoner.
"Your Majesty, spare me, Your Majesty, spare me."```
这一举动对太子身后那些人震慑相当的大。
安王抬了抬手，示意把这些人都关起来。
对太子的人，她从来都抱有三分警惕。
```htmlThese people may seem harmless now, but who knows if they will harm her in the future.
For safety's sake, it is better to lock these people up and interrogate them.
Those behind Prince An spontaneously divided into two teams.```
A team of escort officials, a team to clean up the aftermath.
——
"Wife, the rain has stopped."
Yun Hu looked in surprise at the outside of the hall.
After the rain, the sky, which was originally dull, suddenly became bright.
"Understood."
Nan Wan smiled and repeated, "The rain has stopped."
The chaos of war should also come to an end.
She pulled Yun Hu up, her voice gentle: "Let's go, we’re going home."
She didn’t want to deal with those miscellaneous matters right now; all she wanted was to take Yun Hu home.
“Well, we're going home.”
Upon hearing this, Yun Hu's smile grew wider.
——
The next day, the Empress issued a decree to reward achievements.
What surprised everyone was that the rewards for the Prime Minister's residence were actually the most abundant.
Isn't the Prime Minister's residence part of the Crown Prince's faction? Why does the Empress treat the Prime Minister's residence this way?
Everyone was puzzled.
It wasn't until they saw the Prime Minister's legitimate daughter conversing intimately with the Empress, laughing and chatting happily.
Only then did everyone realize that it was because of Nan Wan's influence.
```htmlThe Prime Minister's legitimate daughter initially supported Prince An.
Because of her, the Prime Minister's residence soared to great heights, enjoying the emperor's favor.
"The Prime Minister has a wonderful daughter."
Someone sighed.
Previously, they had always thought this daughter of the Prime Minister was of little use; even though some talent was rumored about her, it couldn't compare to that of others.```
现今看来，是她们眼拙了。
丞相这个女儿不鸣则已，一鸣惊人。
外人口口称赞的南挽却并没有她们想象中那么激动。
That day, after returning from Yunhu, Zi fell seriously ill with a high fever that wouldn't abate.
Everyone in the Prime Minister's residence was anxious.
Nang Wan took care of him day and night without rest.
Mrs. Chang was inclined to blame him, but seeing her daughter's haggard face, the words of reproach stuck in her throat.
All said and done, it's not really Nuan's fault.
Who would have thought that Yun Hu would run away?
Thankfully, nothing dangerous happened; if it had, the Chang family can't bear to imagine.
“Nuan, you should go rest! I'll keep an eye on Yun Hu.”
"No need, Father."
Nang Wan shook her head: "I want Yun Hu to see me as soon as he wakes up."
Their tempers are strikingly similar.
Chang's thoughts flashed back to when Yun Hu had said something similar before.
He sighed and turned to leave.
Nan Wan held Yun Hu's hand, quietly gazing at his face.
Due to his severe illness, Yun Hu had lost a significant amount of weight; all the flesh he had worked hard to regain had vanished in an instant.
“Wake up quickly!”
Nan Wan said softly.
The person in bed did not respond.
Nan Wan was not discouraged, holding his hand and dozing off.
“Wife.”
In her dream, Nan Wan vaguely heard someone calling her.
“Yunhu.”
Nan Wan opened her eyes slightly.
“Wife.”
Yunhu smiled with his eyes and called out again.
Nan Wan raised her hand to hug him, her voice trembling, “You scared me.”
“Wan Wan.”
Yun Hu leaned close to Nan, whispering in her ear: “I will never leave you. No matter where you are in the future, I will always find you.”
For two people to be together and walk hand in hand for a lifetime is the greatest fortune.
All the suffering he endured in his past life was for the purpose of meeting Nan Wan.
From then on, the past held no more anguish, only gratitude.
