There was something urgent tonight, and He Lianxuan had to prepare in advance. He was about to go out, but he couldn't find the coat he wanted to wear.
The room is so big, where would it be placed?
"Have you seen my navy blue coat?" he asked the person behind him.
"I saw it, so I threw it away." Ran You replied calmly.
"Throw it away?" He Lianxuan's tone immediately turned cold.
"Yes."
After following He Lianxuan for so long, Ran You naturally understood the master's temper. It seemed that he was really angry.
Ran You was not timid, she looked directly at He Lianxuan, "You have a distinguished status and you can have as many clothes as you want. There is no need to worry about a shabby dress. Lord, don't forget, we have more important things to do right now." .”
"Are you teaching me how to do something?"
"I don't dare." Although Ran You was kneeling on the ground, his expression was neither humble nor arrogant.
"Don't you dare? I think you are very brave. There is nothing you dare not do." He Lianxuan asked her with squinted eyes, "Do you really think I won't punish you?"
Faced with the Lord's censure, Ran You did not flinch at all.
She has seen too much misery in the world since she was a child, and she has long since closed off the tenderness of a daughter deep in her heart.
There is no point in feeling sorry for yourself. Only by making yourself stronger can you have the strength to fight against all injustices in the world.
After experiencing countless hardships and breaking out of countless hellish gates, she finally became one of the best and bravest warriors in the Rong Kingdom.
The tragedies involved are beyond the imagination of ordinary people, but Ran You has no regrets, because from then on, no one dared to look down on her, and she was finally able to protect more people she wanted to protect.
The Rong Kingdom actually had many problems. It was located in a wilderness, the country was not wealthy, and the people's lives were even more difficult.
Previous leaders had been trapped by pressure from neighboring countries and had to compromise in exchange for temporary peace.
These rulers did not consider the difficulties of the lower class. For more than a hundred years, the sacrifices to neighboring countries were derived from the people, and their lives became even more difficult.
If those in power could think more about the people, and if they could unite to serve the country and the people, the situation in the Rong Kingdom would never be what it is today.
It's a pity that these people either only know how to be pampered, or they fight for power and status, and have no idea how much suffering and misfortune the people have suffered because of their ambitions and desires.
The person who can make her work for her wholeheartedly must be extremely outstanding, and the Ninth Prince is the only master Ran You recognizes in this life.
She will never betray, she will always follow him to assist him, and work with him to make the country strong and prosperous.
The Ninth Prince is strategic, courageous, and ambitious.
The process of seizing power was not smooth. They experienced humiliation, failure, and almost death. But in the end, they defeated other contenders for the throne side by side and gained the recognition and promise of the current king.
The Ninth Prince, the future king of the Rong Kingdom, will surely lead them to make the country strong, Ran You has no doubt about this.
With their efforts, even Dayin began to be wary of the Rong Kingdom.
One day, the Rong Kingdom will defeat the Yin Kingdom. At that time, every citizen of the Rong Kingdom will have a satisfied smile on their face. They will no longer have to worry about food and clothing, and no longer have to worry about fear, and the children of the Rong Kingdom will be innocent and carefree. Grow up with care.
Ran You believes that this day will definitely come.
But recently, the usually indifferent Lord started to care about a woman from the Western Region.
The reason why he was nervous about that dress was simply because the girl had mended the torn areas.
In the past, if the clothes were worn out and old, the Lord would have thrown them away a long time ago. How could he have kept them for so long, let alone become as angry with himself as he did just now.
Many people could tell that she was attracted to the Ninth Prince, but Ran You knew that she was just the Lord's confidant.
Nothing else.
Ran You didn't ask for too much. As long as she fought with her master, she would be satisfied.
In fact, she had no control over who the Lord liked, but Ran You couldn't just watch him influence their plans for the sake of a woman from an enemy country.
"Weren't you very talkative just now? Why are you silent now?" He Lianxuan said sarcastically.
"I know you shouldn't make your own decisions, but my lord, please don't be influenced by anyone and always put the overall situation first." Ran You said seriously every word.
"I know it well, and I don't need you to remind me." After He Lianxuan finished speaking, he threw a pill on the ground. "If I commit the crime next time, it will not be just such a light punishment. I will do things, and you don't have to follow me."
"yes."
Ran You picked up the pill and swallowed it without any hesitation.
The pain hit quickly, and Ran You curled up, but nothing could relieve the terrible pain.
She sweated a lot and passed out soon after.
In fact, she didn't throw away the dress, but hid it secretly, but Ran You didn't want to explain that her temper really hurt herself sometimes.
After Ran You lost consciousness, He Lianxuan, who had just left, returned to the room. He took a piece of clothing and put it on Ran You.
Humans are not grass and trees, how could he not worry about this subordinate and companion who has experienced life and death with him.
"I hope you can remember this lesson." He Lianxuan said softly.
She was indeed worrying too much. The arrow had already left the bow. He Lianxuan would never let anyone influence her.
After making sure that the person lying on the ground was okay, he turned and left.
There are more important things to do right now.

It was late at night and many people had fallen asleep, but at this moment, the suburbs outside the city were not at all peaceful.
"Although Leader Ling Yuan is a female, he has been able to develop Tianji in just a few years. I have admired him for a long time. It is finally a worthwhile trip to meet him today."
"You came to the Western Territory specially and tried every means to arrange a meeting with me. You must not just say these polite words, right? Ninth Prince, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly!"
"I also like to get straight to the point, but chief, when I see you, I can't help but wonder what kind of peerless appearance you have under this mask. How about we show your true colors to show your sincerity?" Helian Xuan suddenly suggested.
"Sincerity?" Ling Yuan sneered, "It's not just you and me here. Since we don't trust each other, we have to talk about sincerity against our will. Isn't it ridiculous?"
"I don't think it's funny." He Lianxuan said disapprovingly.
"I don't have time to joke with you. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
He Lianxuan laughed, "Important things should be discussed slowly. Why should you be in a hurry? This is not cute at all."
Seeing that the other party was really impatient, He Lianxuan stopped joking and said, "Chief, are you willing to cooperate with Rongguo?"
"cooperate?"
"That's right!" He Lianxuan looked at Ling Yuan intently, "Although your country is powerful, its development is extremely unbalanced. Compared with the Central Plains, the people in the Western Region are really miserable. Instead of hoping for the occasional care from those who are content with pleasure in the Central Plains, it is better to It is more practical to cooperate with our Rong Kingdom, and once we become allies, life in the West will also improve."
"The Ninth Prince is very considerate of the people of the Western Territory, but I want to ask you a question. Who is responsible for the reason why the people of the Western Territory are so unstable?" Ling Yuan mocked coldly.
In recent years, the Rong Kingdom has been keeping a low profile and has accumulated a lot of strength unknowingly. Therefore, it has gradually moved from the previous complacency to resistance, which has made the border increasingly unstable. When the Rong Kingdom is mentioned, the people in the western border will become fearful and uneasy.
But everything happens for a reason. He Lianxuan said calmly: "If it is really pursued, it was you Yin Guo who deceived others too much! We have always longed for stability, but what we got in exchange was your growing greed. If If you have seen how desolate and miserable the people of the Rong Kingdom are, you will understand what we are doing today. The Rong Kingdom has tolerated it for too long, and now it no longer wants to grovel to the Yin Kingdom. You must know that the evils that have been committed will eventually be Gotta pay it back.”
Ling Yuan didn't expect He Lianxuan to say this.
For a long time, she had considered issues from the perspective of the people in the Western Region, but she had never put herself in the shoes of the people in the Rong Kingdom.
From the perspective of the Rong Kingdom, He Lianxuan did nothing wrong. After a long time, she sighed: "But the people in the Western Region are innocent, and you shouldn't let them endure all this."
"Innocent? That's right! In troubled times, the people will always be the victims of the power struggle!" He Lianxuan also sighed with emotion, "But the leader, the people of the Rong Kingdom are also innocent. I can only take care of my people first."
It is difficult to have the best of both worlds. Most people must plan for themselves first, just as if they are from the Rong Kingdom, it is only natural that they should put the interests of the Rong Kingdom first in everything.
He Lianxuan continued: "But if we cooperate, everything will be different! I know that the people in the Western Territory love Tianji. If you manage the Western Territory, the people will respond one after another. Ling Yuan, instead of letting mediocre officials do nothing, why don't you and I By joining forces, I believe that by then, the Western Region and the Rong Kingdom will become even stronger."
"Are you trying to persuade me to rebel?"
"The Western Region is independent and can develop itself. What's wrong with that?"
Ling Yuan was unmoved, "Let's not talk about how difficult this process is and how many people have to bleed and die for it. Even if it is successful, in order to survive in the Western Region, won't we still have to rely on the Rong Kingdom and look at the face of your Rong Kingdom at every turn?"
"If we become allies, I promise that Rong will treat the Western Region in a friendly manner and will never regret it."
"Nothing is absolute," Ling Yuan said very rationally. "The Western Territory is so big. It is delusional to develop on our own without relying on others. If we become independent, we will definitely offend the court, and they will never give up. In order to survive, we will have to We rely on the Rong Kingdom everywhere, and whoever is more powerful has the right to speak. Ninth Prince, how can you ensure that everyone in the Rong Kingdom can treat the people of the Western Region equally and friendly, instead of being superior and exploiting us as slaves and subordinates? So, " Ling Yuan was extremely determined, "Instead of finding an ally to undermine the stability of Dayin, it is better to protect it and be an upright Westerner and a citizen of Yin! Ninth Prince, I will never abandon this land or this country!"
He Lianxuan was not angry. He had already expected that the other party would reject him.
"It doesn't matter if the leader doesn't want to cooperate. It's just a pity that our positions are different. Otherwise, we really could have made friends."
"I don't know why you came to the Western Territory, but if you want to do something that harms the Western Territory, no matter who you are, I won't let you go. Just take care of yourself!" After saying this, Ling Yuan turned and left.
She knew that the ninth prince of the Rong Kingdom was very cruel and ruthless, so after learning that this man appeared in the city, she became more vigilant and did not dare to relax at all.
Ling Yuan's life has not been easy at all for so many years. She sometimes thinks about whether what she does is meaningful, but when she thinks of those people, she can only grit her teeth and persevere!
No matter how difficult the road is, I will never give up.

After confirming that everyone had left, the man who had been hiding in the forest quickly came out.
He took off his mask, and what came into view was a ferocious face. The striking scar on his face made him look even more terrifying.
"Why not just grab her?"
He Lianxuan glanced at him and said contemptuously: "How could she dare to go to the appointment without being fully prepared? We all want to catch each other, but we don't dare to act rashly."
After saying that, He Lianxuan took out another letter and handed it to Chen Fei, "Give it to Zhang Yu and tell him to be careful and not to be discovered."
Although a long time had passed, He Lianxuan still did not dare to take it lightly. He was worried that there were still people secretly investigating what happened back then.
"I understand." Although Chen Fei didn't know the reason, he still replied respectfully.
He Lianxuan slowly took off his mask. Under this handsome face, no one knew what he was thinking!
