"Princess Anding!"

Chu Heyi pounced on the edge of the city wall, tightly grasping the rope in his hand, while the other end of the rope was put around Princess Anding.

Princess Anding's falling body suddenly stopped. She suddenly opened her eyes and saw Chu Heyi's face. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Chu Heyi said, "The tower is too high. If you jump down, your brain will be smashed and your body will be broken. It will be too ugly. If Princess Anding doesn't want your death to become a nightmare for others, hold on tight. I will pull you up."

Everyone subconsciously held their breath and the calls that had been coming one after another disappeared at this moment.

Everyone looked at Chu Heyi intently and swallowed involuntarily.

The emperor, in particular, had his heart beating in his throat, wishing that Chu Heyi would pull Princess Anding up the next moment.

Princess Anding refused to do so: "I have already explained clearly why I jumped off the building. Please let me go!"

Chu Heyi gritted his teeth and looked at her. He saw that her eyes were red and her long hair and sleeves were lifted by the wind, swaying violently in the wind.

But Princess Anding seemed fearless.

As for herself, when she rushed forward, her body hit the cold and hard wall. The moment the rope was put around Princess Anding, her body weight pulled her down. Her fingers rubbed violently against the wall, causing bleeding, before she could barely stabilize herself.

Chu Heyi guessed that his arm had been strained and torn, and the pain was unbearable, but the person being rescued refused to come up.

"Princess Anding, are you sure you want to do this? If I really let go, no one will be able to save you!"

Yu Zijin, the Minister of Personnel, stepped forward hastily: "Her Highness Princess is determined to die, and she wants to inspire everyone in Daqi with her own death. How can you still say such words? Aren't you forcing Her Highness Princess to die?"

Others followed suit.

"Where did this wild girl come from? How dare you speak rudely to Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

"She seems to be the real daughter that Zhenbei Marquis Mansion just recognized a few days ago."

"Since you are a member of the Chu family, rescue Her Royal Highness the Princess as soon as possible!"

Chu Heyi:?

"It is the Chu family's duty to guard the northern border. If the Chu family had no more capable people, Her Royal Highness the Princess would not have jumped off the city wall tonight."

Chu Heyi: ???

In her previous life, she had not experienced Princess Anding jumping off the city wall tonight. At that time, the Chu family was in turmoil because of the eldest brother's affairs. Everyone was very sad and had no intention of paying attention to the outside voices.

It turned out that other people's contempt for the Chu family had already begun at this time.

They believed that since their eldest brother had lost his legs, the remaining people in the Chu family were old and weak and no longer worthy of respect. Even though she had tied up Princess Anding with a rope and temporarily saved her life, she could not get a single good word from them.

Everything the Chu family did for Daqi in the past has been wiped out because of their current "incompetence".

The Chu family has been guarding the northern border for generations, and so many of their descendants have died, resulting in the Chu family now having few descendants and a loss of talent. But in the eyes of many people, guarding the northern border and dying for Daqi is what the Chu family's descendants should do from generation to generation.

Her Chu family has not yet perished, it has just been "broken" temporarily. These people dare to speak like this, it is really shameless!

"Alas, if General Chu had not lost his legs, Her Royal Highness the Princess would not have to jump off the city wall and die for her country!" Someone sighed, feeling quite sad.

"The current situation is that if someone can go to the northern border to lead the troops to fight and force the Northern Zhou soldiers to retreat, they can rescue Princess Anding!"

"But apart from the Chu family, there is no other suitable candidate!"

The court officials actually started arguing on the city wall.

The emperor looked grim and said nothing.

Chu Heyi looked at Princess Anding at the other end of the rope, and for a moment he really wanted to let go of her hand and let her fall and smash into the mud.

Just as she was thinking this, her father Chu Zhen came with her fourth brother Chu Ren.

"Agree, bring Princess Anding up. Your father is willing to lead the troops to Changqing City to fight against the Northern Zhou army!"

After that, Chu Zhen and Chu Ren lifted their skirts and knelt down in front of the emperor: "Your Majesty, please allow me to take your son Chu Ren to Changqing City and defeat the enemy! Bring peace to the northern border of Daqi!"

The emperor did not speak immediately.

Chu Zhen said, "Although I have a broken leg, I have lived in the Northern Territory for decades and am very familiar with it. I also know the Northern Zhou's military tactics very well. I am the best candidate to go to the Northern Territory battlefield!"

Zheng Wenkang also knelt down before the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I think what General Chu said is very true. Moreover, General Chu has a fourth son. Although the fourth son has never been to the battlefield, he is a descendant of the Chu family and is stronger than others anyway."

Other court officials also came forward and knelt, asking the emperor to approve Chu Zhen's request.

The emperor was indeed troubled by the affairs of the northern border during this period, and his daughter was still hanging in the air on the tower, refusing to come up...

The emperor made a prompt decision: "General Chu's loyalty is commendable. In this case, I will grant your request. General Chu and the fourth prince will set out in two days to Changqing City and lead the troops to fight against the Northern Zhou army. If they win, I will reward them handsomely!"

"I obey your command!" Chu Zhen and his son kowtowed in unison.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Tonight, they had not only determined the candidate who would lead troops to the northern border to resist the Northern Zhou army, but also rescued Princess Anding.

Immediately, a guard came forward, grabbed the rope together with Chu Heyi, and pulled Princess Anding up.

After Princess Anding came up, she immediately knelt before the emperor and cried, "Father, I am not cursing Daqi by doing this. I just want to use my death to inspire everyone in Daqi to never retreat. But I have made you worried, please punish me."

The emperor stepped forward and personally helped Princess Anding up: "Since you are here for Daqi, how can I bear to punish you?"

This was the first time that the emperor looked at the princess straight in the eye. In the emperor's mind, this daughter was no different from his other daughters. She was gentle, dignified, and elegant, not extraordinary but not outstanding either.

But her behavior tonight really shocked him. She would rather die than surrender and was willing to sacrifice her life for her country. It was a pride for Da Qi to have such a princess.

"Thank you, father." Princess Anding pursed her lips and smiled, secretly relieved, and then she looked at Xie Lin.

Will her behavior tonight make her uncle look at her differently?

Among all the princesses of Daqi, she is the only one who can do this, isn't she?

Chu Heyi noticed her little expressions and looks.

Princess Anding's move was really powerful. Not only did she force her father and brother to go to the battlefield - her father and brother had already decided to go to the battlefield, but they were actually flattered and forced by her; at the same time, this person also wanted Xie Lin to look at her differently!

It really kills two birds with one stone.

Chu Heyi smiled and stepped forward: "Your Majesty, Princess Anding is indeed a woman who is as good as a man! She is a role model for women in Daqi! I dare to ask Your Majesty to reward Princess Anding!"
