"Miss, do you have to inherit the Hou Mansion?" Xian Yue looked at Chu Huanyan with some confusion.

After all, there has never been a precedent for a woman to inherit a title in Tianyi Kingdom. It's not like there has never been a situation like theirs in the Hou Mansion before, and it was inevitable that it would eventually decline.

In fact, it is already good to be able to retain the title of the legitimate daughter of the Hou family, not to mention that the young lady still has so many shops in her hands. Even if she is not the Crown Prince, even if she marries someone else, she will not be treated poorly in the future. Compared with someone who has Some noble ladies whose families have declined are already much better off.

Chu Huanyan stopped her smile and looked at Xian Yue seriously, "Why not?"

Just because she is a woman, even if she supported the Marquis Mansion with one hand, she could only give the title to Chu Ziyuan with great effort in her previous life?

Just because she is a woman, she can only watch the Ning'an Marquis Mansion decline and die, and return to dust in this huge imperial city, leaving only a name?

"Xianyue, maybe you will think that I am stubborn and stubborn, and it has no meaning. Sometimes I also think that it is just a Hou Mansion, what does it mean in this imperial city, it is really worth fighting for Go and keep it. It may even seem to outsiders that if I can marry Xiao Jinzhi, I will be the crown prince, and maybe even the queen in the future. In comparison, a small prince's mansion will seem even more insignificant."

Xian Yue nodded lightly, "Miss, to be honest, I have thought about this too, so why do you have to guard the Hou Mansion?"

At first, she thought that the young lady just didn't want the prince's mansion to fall into the hands of the prince, and felt that the prince was unworthy. But now that the prince was dead, she no longer had such worries. Only then did she realize that what the young lady said about guarding the prince's mansion actually happened. It was she who wanted to inherit the Hou Mansion, not only the money from the Hou Mansion, but also the title.

"Because this is what I deserve." Chu Huanyan's tone was solemn and serious, "I am the legitimate daughter of Ning'an Hou Mansion, this is my home, and all of this is what I should inherit. If I were a man If so, I’m afraid no one will ask why I want to inherit the Hou Mansion. If that’s the case, why can’t that woman do the same?”

Whether it was the status of the Crown Princess or the status of Queen that she might have in the future, these were not things she had from the beginning.

Only this Marquis Mansion has been her home since she was born. Is it just because she is a woman that she has to be questioned by others even if she can even keep her own home?

This is not fair.

In her last life, she had already been confused. She had long understood that whether it was her brother or her lover, only those who were firmly in her hands were the most reliable.

"Miss, that's why you want to reveal the truth of that year, not only to seek justice for the Marquis and his wife, but also to use this matter to...do meritorious service?" Xianyue frowned, "But Miss, you have I haven’t thought about it, maybe even if you don’t get involved in these things, His Highness the Crown Prince will help you keep the Hou Mansion?”

After all, she could see His Royal Highness's thoughts towards the young lady.

"This is different." Chu Huanyan shook her head and said, "I do like Xiao Jinzhi, and I believe in his feelings for me, but I can't rely on him for everything. Since this is my goal, then I have to rely on myself To achieve it. Rather than rely on what he gives, I would rather stand by his side and do a big thing together, even if the road ahead is difficult and dangerous, with mountains of swords and seas of fire."

Xian Yue looked at her young lady blankly. Until this moment, she felt that even though she had served her for so many years, she still didn't understand her that well.

"Miss, what if..." Xianyue did not say the next words.

Chu Huanyan smiled clearly, "If I can make it through, then I will get what I deserve. If I can't make it through, I won't complain or regret it."

Once some decisions are made, don't hesitate or hesitate.

Otherwise, before the end is reached, I am afraid that I will have imagined countless dead ends in my mind, and then nothing will be accomplished.

……

"Ah!"

In the Cuiheng Mountain Military Camp, Xiao Jinzhi was sitting at the table looking at the latest terrain map that had been sent to him, when he suddenly sneezed.

Qin Li on the side took off his cloak and said, "Your Highness, be careful of the cold."

"No need." Xiao Jinzhi shook his head, "Gu Bu Leng."

As he said that, he suddenly laughed again, "Maybe Yan Yan is thinking about Gu."

Qin Li felt helpless and resisted the urge to roll his eyes and began to count, "Your Highness, you couldn't sleep the night before yesterday, saying that Miss Chu was thinking about you. You accidentally knocked over the tea cup yesterday, and you also said that Miss Chu was thinking about you. . Even if I woke up early this morning, I think Miss Chu must be thinking about you. If you miss Miss Chu, just tell me, why are you beating around the bush?"

"I miss her all the time," Xiao Jinzhi said unabashedly in a leisurely tone.

Seeing this, Qin Li shook his head inwardly. His Highness was really getting more and more confused now.

"Your Highness, Liu Zikui is preparing to launch a final round of attack today. The deadline given to him has come up. It seems that he is planning to make a desperate move. This round of attack should be very fierce."

Xiao Jinzhi looked at the terrain map in front of him, "I know, let him set off after nightfall, and the rest can be arranged as we planned before."

Liu Zikui's strong attack alone would most likely not be able to capture the stronghold, but since he was cornered, he could have some faith in his bravery. Coupled with the newly explored routes in the past few days, tonight is a good opportunity to attack from both sides.

"Yes, I understand." Qin Li looked more serious and nodded in agreement.

"Also, you will personally lead the team tonight." Xiao Jinzhi said.

Qin Li was stunned for a moment, "Your Highness, didn't you arrange for someone else before?"

"What, are you scared?" Xiao Jinzhi said with a smile.

"Of course I'm not afraid, but..." Qin Li paused for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "Most of the soldiers will be transferred out of the military camp tonight. If your subordinates leave again, there will really be no one around you, Your Highness." People."

Although there has been little movement since the last assassination, but...

In this military camp, it would still be too dangerous if no one is left with His Highness.

"It doesn't matter, I will protect myself." Xiao Jinzhi said calmly, "Tonight's sneak attack is very important. If we just leave it to others, I won't worry."

"But……"

"No need to say any more, Gu has already made his decision." Xiao Jinzhi waved his hand to interrupt Qin Li, "The top priority now is to resolve the Cui Hengshan incident and return to the imperial city as soon as possible."

Although he still felt uneasy, Qin Li couldn't say anything more because His Highness looked like this. He could only bow his hands and quickly retreat.

At night, Liu Zikui took the lead and led his men to attack the mountain. After he left, another group of soldiers, led by Qin Li, quietly left from another direction, and the military camp suddenly became quiet.

Xiao Jinzhi left the camp and looked in the direction of Cuiheng Mountain.

Although they were marching in the dark, Liu Zikui was more careful this time. He didn't even use a torch. At first glance, except for some swaying tree shadows, he couldn't see any clues.

At some point, Wang Qi walked to Xiao Jinzhi's side, lowered his eyes and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the night is cold, why don't you go to the camp and wait for news."
