Chapter 180 Go to hell together
Will she still be herself?

A thousand thoughts raced through her mind, and in a daze, she saw her past self waving at her.

Following her heart, Shi Nuanyu opened her arms and stared intently at the bottom of the cliff.

Hua Lingyan silently followed behind her. The mist at the bottom of the cliff spread to her feet, and under the fluorescent light, she turned into a bubble.

He felt a sudden, inexplicable panic. A voice inside him told him that if he didn't grab those hands, she would disappear forever.

No.

Hua Lingyan nimbly ran over and swiftly caught her in her arms.

"elder sister."

He looked at her body with concern, cupping her small face in his hands, wanting to examine her closely.

"Let's go find a doctor."

His Highness just now looked as if he were possessed.

Shi Nuanyu blinked blankly, "A-Ling, what's wrong?"

He's just going for a walk; why is he in such a hurry?

Hua Lingyan looked directly into her eyes, still shaken. "Sister, don't you remember what happened?"

If he hadn't arrived in time, she would have jumped.

Shi Nuanyu suppressed her doubts and hugged the boy's waist, comforting him with a smile.

"Ah Ling, don't worry. We've seen the scenery, shall we go back?"

The boy was eager to leave, so he swept her up in his arms and used his light-footed skills to fly away.

Shi Nuanyu nestled quietly in his arms, glancing thoughtfully at the cliff.

Yes, why would she be standing on the edge of a cliff?

Thousands of miles away, Qinghe and Shan Baiyu felt a sudden pang of unease for no apparent reason.

The longsword in Qinghe's hand fell to the ground with a 'thud,' and his gentle eyes looked toward the due east with an inscrutable expression.

Just a moment ago, he felt an unbearable loneliness in his heart, as if something important had left him.

Dan Baiyu sheathed his heavy sword and asked anxiously, "What happened?"

He panicked for a moment, "Has something happened to His Highness?"

Qinghe remained silent until he sensed something in his heart, then slowly exhaled.

"Nuannuan is fine."

He concealed the worry in his eyes. What exactly happened to Nuannuan?
Dan Baiyu's solemn expression disappeared, and he casually took out a handkerchief from his waist to wipe his sweat.

"The climate in southern Xinjiang is harsh, and life is really hard for the people."

As the water in the paddy fields gradually disappeared, the people had no choice but to switch to growing dryland rice.

If the heavens do not send rain, the seeds cannot grow, and the people will have no harvest.

The two walked to a shady spot and sat down. Qinghe took out the map he was carrying and studied it.

"The drought is beginning to show, and yellow sand is everywhere along the southern border of Xinjiang. We need to take precautions."

He pointed to the northern border region on the map, saying, "The northern border region is rich in resources, and there must be a reason why it has been so difficult to conquer. I will go and investigate it myself tomorrow."

"No."

Dan Baiyu spoke up to stop him, "The Northern Frontier is fraught with danger; your safety is at risk if you go alone."

Although the Southern and Northern Frontiers are located in the same area, since the Southern Yue Dynasty stabilized its rule, it has attacked and conquered the Northern Frontier no less than five times, and each time it returned empty-handed. No one knows how dangerous the Northern Frontier is.

"If I want to find out the source of the poison, I must go to the northern border."

Qinghe put away the map. All the clues he had found in recent days pointed to the northern frontier, and he could not give up.

Knowing that he had made a decision and wouldn't change it, Shan Baiyu stopped trying to persuade him.

"What do you want me to do?"

To take over northern Xinjiang, they must devise a strategy and make thorough preparations.

Colluding with intelligent people saves a lot of trouble.

Qinghe took out the prepared paper and said, "When the time comes, you will act according to the instructions on this paper, and we will work together from the inside and outside."

To receive advice and strategies from the current imperial advisor is something many people yearn for but cannot have.

Dan Baiyu carefully memorized the contents, his eyes gradually lighting up with excitement.

"Brilliant! With this strategy, we have a 50% chance of conquering the northern frontier." He carefully put away the papers, and the gloom between his brows disappeared.

"General, a merchant caravan has arrived outside the military camp and has specifically requested to see you."

The adjutant enthusiastically handed over the visiting card, chattering on and on, "Old Shen, look, the cart is full of grain and clean water."

News came from the main city that merchants from the Tao family were distributing porridge throughout the city, and they had also brought along skilled people to teach them how to grow grain.

Dan Baiyu skimmed through the contents of the visiting card, reading ten lines at a glance.
"Okay, the immediate crisis is over."

Seeing the joy on his face, Qinghe understood immediately.

"The Tao family's intervention must be related to His Highness."

Dan Baiyu nodded, "His Highness has ordered skilled farmers to come to Southern Xinjiang to improve the climate there."

The extreme heat in southern Xinjiang is largely due to its arid desert landscape. To improve the environment, it is essential to first understand the topography of southern Xinjiang.

A middle-aged man strode into the military camp and respectfully bowed to the two men.

"This humble steward of the Tao family pays his respects to the Imperial Preceptor and the General."

He took out two letters from his bosom, saying, "The princess has sent a letter asking me to personally deliver it to you, sir."

Dan Baiyu happily accepted the letter and carefully put it into her bosom.

His Highness still thinks of him and has never forgotten him.

Qinghe accepted the letter with a calm expression. "Did Your Highness say anything else?"

The steward bowed his head and said, "There are many people coming this time. The princess has instructed the general to protect them well."

Dan Baiyu understood. "Don't worry, sir. The adjutant will accompany you back to the main city. I will protect you with all my might."

The princess sent only court officials and capable people to govern the region; he would not allow them to lose their lives in the southern borderlands.

The steward bowed and thanked him, saying, "Thank you, General."

He had thought that this job was related to officialdom and that he would be ostracized, but the general of the Southern Frontier was completely different from what he had imagined.

With the protection of officers and soldiers, their operations in the southern border region will be much easier.

Birds chirped outside the window, and Shi Nuanyu, who was still half asleep, was pulled out of bed.

After returning yesterday, she fell into a deep sleep and slept until this morning.

Despite sleeping for many hours, she still felt weak all over.

Shi Nuanyu lay on the bed, impatiently tugging at the man's robe.

"Yu Changfeng, if you don't sleep, I still want to sleep. Go away."

"Your Highness may sleep in your own room; I will attend to my own business."

Yu Changfeng picked her up, helped her sit up, and quickly dressed her.

With the help of the maid, she was helped to wash up.

Throughout this process, Nuanyu always appeared tired and weak.

In a daze, I seemed to be held in someone's arms, but I didn't know where we were going.
The blinding light shone down, and she impatiently hid in his arms.

Yu Changfeng carried her steadily toward the arena, carefully observing her expression along the way.

After she returned yesterday, she fell into a deep sleep and never woke up. Fusheng diagnosed her by taking her pulse and said that she was overwhelmed by worries and needed to see through her confusion in order to relieve her worries.

According to Hua Lingyan, she began to show abnormal signs as soon as she entered the martial arts arena.

What is she, so bright and cheerful as a spring breeze, afraid of?
The wind howled incessantly in her ears. Shi Nuanyu forced open her heavy eyelids and looked at the familiar scene with a puzzled expression.

Why did you bring me to the dueling arena?

Yu Changfeng held her as they stood at the edge of the arena; one step would send them plummeting into an abyss.

He put the woman down from his arms and gently stroked her cheek.

"Would Nuan Nuan like to go to the Yellow Springs with me?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Nuanyu rolled her eyes at him and took a step back to distance herself from him.

"You don't want to live, but I do. If you want to jump off a cliff to find someone else, don't drag me down with you."

He dragged her out of bed early in the morning with the intention of bringing her to jump off a cliff.

Is she abnormal, or is he abnormal?

Shi Nuanyu yawned widely. "If you want to jump, then jump. I'm going back to sleep for a while."

She rubbed her eyes, wondering why she hadn't slept enough today.
