He Li's book had not dried yet, and the predicament of her marriage with Shen Ling Jue still hadn't passed. It was like a reminder to Feng Ning Yan.

And the letter of departure was written, and her heart was determined, as though overflowing water cannot be taken away.

She slightly retracted her hand, bent down to pick up the book, folded it, and offered it up with both hands.

"Your highness, King Yu, and the letter of departure are here. Your highness, I hope that you will give me back my past kindness and freedom, and let me, Feng Ning Yan, return to freedom."

"Feng Ning Yan!" Shen Ling Jue's sword-like eyebrows turned cold as he shouted.

She didn't expect that after settling the rumors, she would still insist on breaking up.

Feng Ning Yan looked up at him. Her heart was filled with longing, but she knew that from today onwards, she would not be able to get close to him even a little.

She stepped back, away from him, her face cold, as if she were looking at a stranger.

"Your Highness, if the Emperor trusts the army of one hundred thousand, then the Feng family will be loyal to the empire and the entire family will be loyal to the royal family." Your Highness, the army of one hundred thousand, if the Emperor trusts the emperor, then the royal family will be loyal to the empire.

Hearing that, Shen Ling Jue looked at the bloodstained He Li Shu, gritting his teeth, unwilling to accept it from her hands no matter what.

"This duke has said to protect you for the rest of your life, so I definitely won't let the Feng family be framed!" Just now, you proposed to and left so as to not implicate This King. Now that the rumors have subsided, leaving this letter is null and void! "

Seeing his extreme grief and anger, Feng Ning Yan's heart softened, and the hand holding He Li gently trembled.

Ling Jue, you and I will not give up on each other, we will not give up on each other. How could I not want to be together with you day in and day out?

But now that the emperor didn't trust the Feng family, Shen Youhuang seized the opportunity to frame them. If the Feng family were to be charged with conspiracy, then you, King Yu, would be the mastermind and the backer.

On the other hand, if Li, Feng family, and Duke Yu's residence were to fall out, then Shen Youhuang's plot would immediately break down and the Feng family would no longer have to be constrained by the marriage alliance. Only then would I be able to fight the Southern Wilderness …

The more she thought about it, the more sorrowful she became. However, she suppressed her tears and only sneered coldly.

"Your Highness, if I didn't provoke Shen You Huang to help you ascend the throne, he wouldn't have gone against my Feng family and angered my father to this extent. Lu Luo, Yue Qing, Zhang Nuo, and the innocent people of the Green Plum Guild wouldn't have died. You already know how important the Feng family and Ning Nan Army are to me from the start. "For the sake of a hundred thousand soldiers, for the sake of my Feng family's several hundred years of reputation, please agree to and leave."

"Feng family, Ning Nan Army …"

Shen Ling Jue felt a sharp pain in his heart, and couldn't help slightly bending his back to get rid of the pain, his pale lips curled up into a bitter smile.

"In your heart, there will only be the Feng family and the Ning Nan army."

He once wanted to know how high he ranked in her heart, but now the answer was as cruel as ever.

Not only for the third position, but for the sake of the Feng family and Ning Nanyan Army, they could give up at any time.

Feng Ning Yan didn't dare to look at his disappointed expression. She looked into the distance and emotionlessly said:

"Ever since the marriage proposal, you have loved me dearly. How could I not be moved? After returning from the Southern Wilderness, I originally wanted to be your husband and wife for one lifetime, but after all, we are no ordinary people. Your Highness, just think that the nightmare is finally about to wake up … "

In that nightmare, Shen Lingjue once dreamed of Feng Ningyan's tearful eyes and the scene of her tragic death.

On the night of his wedding, he smiled gently at her and said that he would never have that nightmare again and that she was his medicine.

Yet now, she had once again pushed him into that nightmare and personally told him that he loved this battle. It was only a dream, and it was time for him to wake up.

Shen Ling Jue was stunned for a moment. He only felt the blood energy in his heart churning and he could no longer control his Qi anymore. It was as if his Qi was rushing through his veins as he gritted his teeth and activated his Qi to suppress the blood Qi.

At this moment, even though he was extremely reluctant, unwilling, and unwilling, he couldn't say a single word.

Because, as long as he spoke, he would not be able to suppress the frenzied surging of his inner breathing. He would either injure his heart or have his inner qi go berserk.

Jing Zhan, who was watching from the side, saw that Shen Ling Jue's face was so pale that it seemed as though his blood was instantly sucked dry. He was also shocked: "Your Highness! "You …"

Shen Ling Jue then raised his hand to interrupt Jing Zhan. He looked deeply at Feng Ning Yan, and suppressed the blood energy with all his might …

Feng Ning Yan could feel the difference in his expression, and was so nervous that his nails dug into his palms, but he didn't dare to ask about it.

Shen Ling Jue gritted his teeth, as cold words came out from the gaps between his teeth.

"This King will not let you down, even if it means death. It's not that you're heartless, it's that This King is laughable."

When Feng Ningyan heard this, her eyes became hot. She choked and called out, "Your Highness …"

"Then it will be as you wish." Shen Ling Jue raised the blood-stained He Li Shu in her hand and focused on her face, firmly carving her picturesque facial features into his heart, "This king will personally propose the matter of departure to royal father."

It was as if he didn't see the tears in her eyes. He decisively turned around and left with Jing Qi and Prince Yu's personal guards.

"Your Highness …" "Take care."

Feng Ning Yan didn't dare to say more, afraid that her choked voice would make him turn around.

Because her entire body was trembling from the pain. If he were to turn around now, she wouldn't be able to pretend to be cold and merciless …

Shen Ling Jue did not turn his head, and furthermore, he was unable to do so.

The uncontrollable blood energy rushed up to his throat; it was sweet and boiling hot.

He pursed his lips, but there was still blood coming out of them.

Seeing this, Jing Qi turned around to look at Feng Ning Yan worriedly. Seeing the two of them like this, she couldn't help but want to push Shen Ling Jue back.

He clearly had a deep affection for her, but why did he still want to heartlessly say goodbye?!

Shen Ling Jue mounted his horse and used his last bit of strength to push his horse out of the barracks, escaping from Feng Ning Yan's sight.

However, just as he arrived outside the army camp, he spat out a mouthful of blood, which dyed the horse's back red.

"Your Highness!" Jing Zhan pounced over and supported Shen Lingjue who fell off his horse. Only after checking his pulse did he realize that he had sustained heavy internal injuries.

"Don't make any noise... "Leave this place …"

After saying this sentence, Shen Ling Jue fainted …

Feng Ningyan stood alone on the empty terrace, the cold wind blowing her hair away.

The bun loosened and the old, loving silver hairpin fell to the ground with a clink.

She picked up the silver hairpin and could no longer hold back her tears.

"Ling Jue, I'm sorry … "In this life, I have failed you in the end …"

She gripped the silver hairpin tightly as the scene of the night banquet with Shen Ling Jue surfaced in her mind. It was so painful that she wanted to make her heart stop beating.

This time, Feng Wei had suffered such a huge blow that it would be difficult for him to recover in a short period of time. As a young commander-in-chief, if she couldn't stabilize her morale and lead troops into battle, then she wouldn't be able to keep her dragon teeth.

Right at this moment, a horse galloped in from the direction of the camp. Behind each horse was a banner of command of the Southern Yong Pass, in each hand was a scarlet red booklet.

War report!

Feng Ning Yan was startled and hastily wiped away her tears with the back of her hand. She propped herself up on her knees and used the hairpin to retie her hair, standing up straight.

In the blink of an eye, the messenger had already arrived in front of her and handed her a red book. The troops of the Southern Wilderness were under the Southern Yong Pass and were trying to take over the city! "

A trace of killing intent suddenly flashed across Feng Ningyan's face. "He's finally here!"

She did not have time to be sad, so she quickly went to report this to Feng Wei. She donned her horse, rushed to the general of the Crimson Flame Battalion, and led five thousand elite soldiers to reinforce the Southern Yong Pass at lightning speed.
