Ying Yufu was overjoyed to receive the points reward notification from the system.

She stepped forward and untied the chains on Ying Hengzhi's body and the iron ring around her neck, then took the heavy chains in her hands and played with them.

Seeing Ying Hengzhi instantly remove the heavy object, she revealed a relaxed and enjoying expression.

Ying Yufu smiled slightly and said meaningfully, "Ying Hengzhi, congratulations, you are finally free, or rather, you have finally been reborn."

I'm really looking forward to your future performances, and I hope you can surprise me!

Ying Hengzhi was fully expecting Ying Yufu to mock her, but to her surprise, Ying Yufu said some things that left her completely baffled.

But Ying Yufu is right about one thing: Ying Hengzhi is reborn from this day forward!

She's going to the southern barbarians to start over.

Having escaped Ying Yufu's shadow, she believed she could live a better life than in her previous life.

"Hahaha, Princess Anguo is indeed magnanimous. We are all ashamed of ourselves." Lan Yan laughed and praised her.

Ying Yufu smiled slightly and remained silent.

That day, the Northern Xuan Iron Horse retreated to the Divine Machine Camp, and the Southern Barbarian's shattered wooden horse also carefully withdrew from the palace.

That evening, Emperor Cangxuan held another banquet.

The southern barbarians walked to the Wuji Hall, their previous provocations replaced by extreme humility.

Ying Hengzhi changed into a pink and blue Southern Barbarian outfit, which was inlaid with colorful gemstones. Her hair ornaments were also very gorgeous. She followed among the Southern Barbarian envoys, her demeanor was calm and composed, and she was completely different from before.

During the banquet, the Southern Barbarians not only presented all the Gu insects, but also handed over the documents ceding the three border cities of the Southern Barbarians.

The Crown Prince, Ying Yufu, the Third Prince, and Princess Xilin were all present at the banquet.

As midnight approached, the banquet was about to end, and the Southern Barbarians received their travel documents to leave the Northern Xuan. They were to set off to return to the Southern Barbarians early the next morning.

At that moment, a soldier from the Thousand Feather Army rushed in and presented a secret letter to Emperor Cangxuan.

He Bi's expression hardened, and he quickly stepped forward to take the secret letter and present it to Emperor Cangxuan.

Emperor Cangxuan opened it and read it, his expression changing slightly.

He looked at the Southern Barbarians and said, "It's getting late, please return to the inn to rest, all you Southern Barbarian envoys."

The southern barbarian rose and took his leave.

They glanced at the letter in Emperor Cangxuan's hand, their curiosity piqued.

After the banquet, Emperor Cangxuan sent Crown Prince and Ying Yufu to the Imperial Study to show them the secret letter he had in his hand.

"Prince Qinjiang assassinated on his return journey? Princess and Crown Prince missing after falling from their horses?"

The prince exclaimed in surprise.

Ying Yufu was even more surprised that Prince Qinjiang had been assassinated on his way back.

"Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, Anguo. I'm afraid you won't be able to wait to finish celebrating the Lantern Festival with the Duke of Zhenguo."

"Qinjiang is on the only route to Yunzhou. I order you to set off secretly tonight, before the Southern Barbarians arrive, to join up with the King of Qinjiang's party and find the Princess and the Crown Prince."

Ying Yufu and the Crown Prince exchanged a glance. The Crown Prince replied, "Yes, Father!"

Although Ying Yufu felt regretful, she still replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Because it was a secret departure, the Crown Prince's palace did not send anyone to follow him in a grand manner; only the feint and the attack were carried out by the Crown Prince.

Ying Yufu sent a message to Yu Li, asking her to go to the Mu residence to pick up Shangguan Sheng, while she went to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.

At the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, Shangguan Fei had just returned from the palace when she saw Ying Yufu arrive shortly after, and she keenly sensed something was amiss.

Ying Yufu spoke privately with her for a while, then asked her to pack her things overnight and set off with her.

"Good sister, your older cousin has been good to you!" Shangguan Fei was very excited. She patted Ying Yufu on the head and quickly packed her things to prepare for departure.

Her belongings were different from those of ordinary girls; she carried her spear, sword, and black spirit bone.
