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

Not long after, news spread from the military camp that Chu Heyi was injured on the battlefield. Since then, she no longer went out and stayed in the house to recuperate.

The imperial physician Gansui, who had accompanied her on the expedition, often came in and out of her room. Her personal maid, Baihua, also always came and went with a worried look on her face.

Chu Ren said to everyone he met: "The Crown Princess is seriously injured this time. I am afraid that the enemy will attack in full force, so you must keep it a secret and do not let the news of the Crown Princess' serious injury spread!"

Chu Ren also said: "Of course, you don't have to worry too much. Doctor Gan Sui is a miracle doctor. If he said he can cure the Crown Princess, then he can definitely cure her! It will take at most half a month, so everyone wait patiently!"

Within a day, everyone in the military camp knew that Chu Heyi was seriously injured and would need to rest for at least half a month. Everyone was talking about this matter, and not surprisingly, Runxue also got the news.

Duan Feichi said: "The messenger reported that Xie Lin has arranged for people to go to Chu Heyi's military camp to pass on the order, asking them to tie up Chu Heyi and send him to the princess.

“It seems that Chu Heyi’s injury and recuperation are just excuses. Xie Lin’s people must have tied her up and will bring her to us soon.

"What's the point of her making excuses like this? She can't go back alive anyway!"

Duan Feichi was just talking when someone came to report: "Princess Cheng, someone from the Crown Prince of Daqi is here to ask questions. When will the Crown Princess be sent over to exchange for the people of Yan and Lan? Where will the exchange take place?"

Runxue stood up and said to Duan Feichi, "Just in case, you take your men to challenge Chu Heyi's army. Say as unpleasant words as you can and see if they will accept the challenge.

"If they don't accept the challenge, tell them to send Chu Heyi to me from the battlefield in three days. As long as Chu Heyi is in my hands, those thousands of people can return home safely."

Duan Feichi nodded. If the insults were harsh but the other party didn't fight back, it would be enough to show that Chu Heyi had really been controlled and was unable to fight back.

Duan Feichi said: "The Crown Princess has made great military achievements, but at the last critical moment, she was abandoned by the Crown Prince of Daqi. It is really sad and lamentable. Princess Cheng, should we publicize this matter? If the enemy army knows about it, their morale will surely collapse and they will be defeated without a fight!"

Runxue asked everyone to go out before answering Duan Feichi's question.

"If this matter gets out, even if Chu Heyi dies, she will become a hero in the eyes of the people of Daqi. Aren't we making wedding clothes for her? When we conquer Shengjing City in the future, someone will definitely raise an army in her name to rebel. Wouldn't that cause trouble for us?"

Duan Feichi nodded after listening to it: "You are really thoughtful!"

Runxue said: "General Duan, go and prepare to challenge and test the opponent's strength."

Duan Feichi nodded seriously, turned and walked out.

He selected a dozen people from the army who were good at yelling and cursing, and they kept yelling and cursing at Chu Heyi's army. From ancestors to grandchildren, all were pulled out and scolded by them, but Chu Heyi's camp was motionless and lifeless.

Duan Feichi was in a good mood and quickly sent someone to tell Runxue the good news, saying that Chu Heyi and the others did not come out to fight.

From then on, Runxue and Duan Feichi were waiting for Chu Heyi to be tied up and brought to them.

However, one day before the agreed date, the local people and military officers learned that Aunt Zhu and thousands of others had been imprisoned by Runxue.

Everyone also knew that Runxue used these thousands of civilians to threaten Xie Lin to hand Chu Heyi over to Runxue.

Everyone also knew that Xie Lin had agreed, and tomorrow would be the day for the two sides to exchange hostages.

The people were in an uproar, and even the soldiers in the army were in an uproar.

"So, Aunt Zhu and the others didn't go home these days because they were locked up by Princess Cheng and threatened Prince Daqi?"

"I thought Aunt Zhu and the others were in the army, well fed and well provided for by Princess Cheng, and would definitely be able to seek justice for their family members who were wrongly accused of murder. But Princess Cheng actually locked them up?"

"It's absolutely true. This news came from the army. Aunt Zhu and her men have been starving for several days and have only been given water to drink!"

"Speaking of which, our cities of Yan and Lan are the territories of King Cheng and his wife. We are their subjects and have long been out of the control of Crown Prince Daqi and his wife. Why is the Crown Princess still willing to come here for us at the risk of her life?"

"I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince issued an imperial decree, and the Crown Princess had to come even if she didn't want to... But I heard that the Crown Princess didn't resist. She was born into a military family. Maybe at this critical moment, the Crown Princess is really willing to sacrifice her life for the people!"

"In the minds of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, there is only one Daqi. They will take back the cities of Yan and Lan no matter what."

"So, what is the meaning of our loyalty to Princess Cheng?"

This sentence made everyone silent.

At the critical moment of the war, Aunt Zhu and her people, as subjects of Princess Cheng, were taken hostage. It was also at such a critical moment that the Crown Princess was willing to risk her own life in exchange for the safety of Aunt Zhu and thousands of others.

The news soon reached Runxue's ears, which made Runxue furious. She immediately tracked down who leaked the news!

She guessed that this was Chu Heyi's doing. Now Chu Heyi has military merits and is the real Crown Princess. However, in the bitter cold winter when the two armies are about to decide the outcome, before the arrival of spring, she was abandoned by Xie Lin. Chu Heyi must be very angry and crazy.

Publicizing this matter was Chu Heyi's final revenge on Xie Lin, and also her final resistance as a female marshal in this war.

Runxue thought so. Even though the people and soldiers were now full of suspicion towards her, she still felt happy in her heart, because she had not won a war here with Chu Heyi for a long time.

Now Chu Heyi’s anger, madness, revenge and resistance against Xie Lin are the victory she has won!

However, Runxue was disappointed. After investigation, she found out that it was actually the soldiers in her own army who spread the news.

The two soldiers were brought to her and burst into tears: "Princess Cheng, we just wanted to use this incident to disrupt the enemy's morale. This will help our army win a great victory. We didn't know it would lead to the current situation!"

Runxue was furious, but her face was cold as she said in a deep voice, "Were you two leading the troops to fight? How dare you act on your own? Come on, drag them away and execute them."

Once Runxue gave the order, his men had no chance to struggle, and they didn't even have the chance to shout out. They were dragged away and executed in public.

She took a cup of warm tea and sipped it slowly. She called Guyu over and said, "Since everyone knows about this matter, let's not hide it anymore. Go and tell the soldiers and the people of Yan and Lan that all is fair in war. I did this with good intentions and had no choice."

Guyu pondered for a moment and understood.
