The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

Tong Xiling was surprised and blurted out, "Prince, are you here to save me? I don't know who tied me up. How dare someone in the palace do such a thing? They hurt me like this, which is a contempt for the imperial power. You have to chop off their heads!"

Cheng Ying stood aside holding a lantern, and the dim light barely illuminated each other's faces. In such light, Xie Lin looked at Tong Xiling.

His expression showed neither sadness nor joy, nor anger.

Seeing that he didn't move, Tong Xiling hurriedly said, "Untie me quickly, and send someone to catch the assassin! It doesn't matter if they tied me up, but I'm afraid they will hurt you, so don't let the assassin get away!"

Xie Lin said, "I had someone tie you up."

Tong Xiling was horrified, and she pursed her lips for a long time before she uttered a word: "It's you? Then... are you kidding me? What's this new trick?"

She already had a bad feeling in her heart, but she refused to believe it and would rather believe that Xie Lin was just playing with her.

But her voice was trembling a little.

Xie Lin said: "There are many things in this world that we cannot explain. For example, the resurrection of the dead that you mentioned may be true, but I can clearly tell who my wife is."

The color on Tong Xiling's face disappeared instantly. She thought back to the past and didn't think she had been exposed in any way.

In the past, when she took Xie Lin to salvage the body and took out the jade pendant, Xie Lin's face looked terrible...

Xie Lin: "You see that I look bad, not because I trust you, I am just worried about He Yi's safety in Northern Zhou. Of course, I am now worried about her safety in Yizhou City."

Tong Xiling pursed her lips, unwilling to believe it. She screamed, "Then why do you still favor me? After Chu Heyi left, I became your most beloved woman. Why?!"

"You and Princess Cheng want this result, so I will give you this result. Otherwise, how can I get you into this game?" Xie Lin said calmly, "It's just that the person you sleep with is not me, and you are still a virgin."

Tong Xiling collapsed. She was still a virgin! She once thought she was the most favored woman in the East Palace and the apple of the eye of the Crown Prince. But she was still a virgin. How ridiculous!

No, now is not the time to care about this. She was horrified: "You tied me up now, what do you want to do! When did you know that I belong to Princess Cheng?"

"Princess Cheng wants me to vigorously develop and build the various prefectures of Daqi. Isn't it because she wants me to drain the national treasury and no longer be able to develop and expand the army, so that they can have a chance to fight back to Shengjing City? When you came to my side, you kept guiding me in that direction. Is it difficult to guess that you are Princess Cheng's man?"

Xie Lin's tone was cold, and his expression seemed to say that it was really stupid for Tong Xiling to ask such a question.

Xie Lin: "By the way, your book about resurrection is very well written, well-reasoned and perfect."

His tone was always calm and composed, but he gave Tong Xiling a feeling that "in the midst of laughter and conversation, the masts, oars, and sails were reduced to ashes."

Fear filled her heart, and she shuddered violently: "Your Highness, you tied me up now, what are you going to do with me?"

"Since you like to pretend to be my Crown Princess, then you can replace the Crown Princess and exchange the people of Yan and Lan."

Tong Xiling said hurriedly: "Princess Cheng is very smart, she will definitely see through it. If His Royal Highness does this, not only will it not win back the local people, but it will also completely anger Princess Cheng and cause more deaths!"

"You don't have to worry about that." Xie Lin raised his hand slightly, motioning Cheng Ying to take her away.

Tong Xiling was terrified. "Your Highness, please let me go. I had to do this because of Princess Cheng's orders. I promise I will never do it again... Please give me a way to live, mmm..."

Tong Xiling's mouth was blocked and a black bag was put on her body. Cheng Ying carried her out and someone came to pick her up immediately. In the thick night, Tong Xiling was put on a carriage and quietly went towards Yizhou city.

When the personal maid He Rui woke up, she did not see her master Tong Xiling in the palace, so she went out to look for her. When she found Qianqiu Palace, Cheng Ying pulled her aside and whispered:

"Princess Cheng's request is too much. The Crown Prince is very angry. Miss Tong has been serving in Qianqiu Palace last night and has not yet gotten up. Please do not disturb her."

Tong Xiling would indeed do such a thing, so He Rui believed Cheng Ying's words. After she believed it, the matter soon spread to the entire harem.

If the harem knows, then the former dynasty will also know.

At this point, everyone knew that Xie Lin did not agree to send the Crown Princess to exchange for the lives of the people of Yan and Lan, so Tong Xiling comforted him for the whole night.

The envoy sent by Runxue to Shengjing City continued to wait.

At noon, Xie Lin called the messenger to his side and finally gave in. He said, "Miss Tong has convinced me that it is worth it to exchange the Crown Princess for the lives of thousands of civilians.

"But, the Crown Princess has made great contributions to Da Qi, and now she is leading the troops in Yizhou City. If I use her to exchange the lives of the people, it will be chilling and I am afraid that the people will resist and it will also shake the morale of the Da Qi army. Therefore, don't make this matter public. I will have someone secretly send the imperial edict to the Crown Princess, asking her to obey the imperial edict and go to Yanzhou City to exchange those people."

The messenger should say, "Your Highness, it is a righteous act for the sake of the lives of the people. The Crown Princess will surely understand you."

Humph, as long as the Crown Princess is sent to Yanzhou City, they will definitely publicize this matter, and it is only a matter of time before the morale of the Daqi army is shaken!

Without the powerful general, the Crown Princess, the army behind her will surely be defeated. Princess Cheng will take the opportunity to break into Shengjing City. Xie Lin's career as the Crown Prince will come to an end. The Daqi Kingdom will be completely ruled by Princess Cheng.

The messenger went back happily.

On the day the envoy returned, Chu Heyi led his army to fight another battle with Duan Feichi. When the battle was over, Duan Feichi was stunned. He could hardly believe his eyes.

"We were fighting so well, why did they retreat?" Duan Feichi asked.

The military advisor beside him nodded stiffly: "Yes, we have withdrawn."

"It can't be a trick, right?" Duan Feichi wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The military advisor also felt a chill down his spine. He thought the same as Duan Feichi, that King Cheng died at the hands of the Crown Princess. This woman was very cunning and should not be underestimated.

But the vanguard came back at full speed, saying, "The Crown Princess is withdrawing because she was shot by our divine crossbow arrows and is injured!"

Duan Feichi couldn't believe it even more: "Who shot it?"

"Just a soldier, who hit the target by accident." The vanguard replied.

Duan Feichi still couldn't believe it, but after they waited vigilantly for a long time and saw no sign of Chu Heyi and the others making a counterattack, they gradually began to believe it.

Not long after, Duan Feichi received good news that Xie Lin agreed to send Chu Heyi in exchange for Aunt Zhu's thousands of people.

Duan Feichi realized that, therefore, the Crown Princess was shot by an arrow, perhaps it was not their soldiers who did it, but the Crown Princess's own people who did it, so that when the Crown Princess was sent to exchange for the civilians, she would be unable to resist.
