My Princess and Crown Prince Are Revived
Chapter 171 The Deity is Furious

Chapter 171: Chapter 171 The Deity is Furious

"If this is truly the Crown Prince’s doing, then everything is just too horrifying,"

Yan Chen closed his eyes slowly, his voice weary.

Since when had they, as brothers, become completely unrecognizable in the fight for the throne?

"My lord, look."

At that moment, Nan Xing pulled open the curtain of the carriage and pointed urgently in one direction.

Chu Baihan and the others looked out only to see Qin Rong standing atop the Qingxin Temple roof.

His hair and beard had both turned white, and he was dressed in immaculate plain clothes.

From a distance, he did indeed look somewhat like an immortal.

"My dear subjects, I am well aware that you are suffering. I am but a mortal and do not know how to save you. Hence, over these past two months, I have not left home and have devotedly prayed to the gods to save these poor souls on earth...

Finally, in these past few days, the gods have heard my plea. Therefore, they have granted me the power. With this power, I can make it rain and thus resolve the great drought in Jiangnan,"

Qin Rong’s words, carried by the wind, drifted into everyone’s ears.

"Could it be that this Prince Qin considers himself a reincarnated immortal?" Yan Lian spoke with distaste.

"What he thinks is not important; what matters is what the people think," Chu Baihan shook her head and said softly.

As her words fell, the people outside knelt and started kowtowing to Qin Rong.

"Prince Qin, save us, we know our mistakes, save us, we know our mistakes..."

They kept repeating these words.

"They really are taking Prince Qin for a god,"

Jian Yun observed the scene through the carriage window, her mood complex and expression grave.

"Prince Qin will definitely be able to pray for rain successfully, yes, he must."

"That Princess Chunjing is useless; she couldn’t succeed and even tried to deceive us last night."

"She must have angered the gods; naturally, she can’t solve the problem. Thankfully, we have Prince Qin; he will surely be able to obtain the gods’ forgiveness for us."

"Yes, yes, thankfully we have Prince Qin. If Prince Qin succeeds, we, all the people of Jiangnan, will worship him, and we will let him command us however he wishes. Since the court doesn’t care about our lives anyway, we might as well pledge our loyalty to Prince Qin..."

"..."

The murmurs of the people outside were crystal clear to Chu Baihan and the others inside the carriage.

A cold light flickered in Chu Baihan’s eyes.

Indeed, Yan Xiao intended to gain the support of Jiangnan’s people.

Jiangnan is the second core region of Yan Country after the capital city.

If he had the support of the people in Jiangnan, then even if the Emperor wanted to depose him as the Crown Prince in the future, it would depend on whether the people of Jiangnan agreed.

However, there was still one thing she couldn’t understand.

Although Yan Lin was capable, the Emperor had never mentioned deposing the Crown Prince in all these years.

What exactly was Yan Xiao afraid of in his heart?

As long as he maintained the status quo, once the Emperor passed away, the throne should be his.

Why did he need to scheme so much?

Was there something she had overlooked?

Just as Chu Baihan was pondering these issues in her mind, her peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of a masked man not far away.

The sensation he gave her was all too familiar.

Feeling her gaze, the man also looked over and then flashed her a strange smile.

"It’s Yan Xiao; he has indeed come to Jiangnan!"

Chu Baihan spoke sharply.

Yan Xiao?

Hearing Chu Baihan’s words, everyone quickly peered out of the carriage.

But where Yan Xiao had been standing just moments before, there was no longer a trace of him.

Only the people were around, and they found it impossible to locate anyone.

"Tang Yu. Have you gathered your men?"

At that moment, Chu Baihan asked Tang Yu, who stood outside the carriage, in a low voice.

After arriving in Jiangnan, to avoid suspicion, she had Tang Yu leave first.

But just now, she had someone bring him back again.

If Yan Xiao had been arranging things in Jiangnan, all the military forces might have been bribed by him, leaving them without any usable personnel.

However, the Tang Sect was different.

"Princess, please rest assured, we have already placed many of our people around, ready to follow your orders at any time," Tang Yu replied respectfully.

"Your master..."

"To report to the Princess, our master had to attend to some affairs and left Jiangnan a few days ago," Tang Yu continued.

Hearing Tang Yu’s words, Chu Baihan let out a sigh of relief.

Jiangnan is now an extremely dangerous place, hazardous for anyone who is there.

The Tang Sect... To her, it was like a benefactor’s presence.

If possible, she hoped that none of them would get hurt.

Tang Yu?

In all the kingdoms, people surnamed Tang...

Yan Chen’s eyes darkened slightly as he began to speculate about Tang Yu’s identity.

But just at that moment, Yan Lin’s sharp gaze swept over him, and he spoke coldly, "Elder brother, it would be best if you don’t concern yourself with other matters right now."

Hearing this, Yan Chen’s face stiffened.

But he also understood.

That person must be from the Tang Sect!

The Crown Princess of Nanduan Kingdom actually knew someone from the Tang Sect and could mobilize their members.

Nevertheless, as Yan Lin said, he really shouldn’t be concerned with this matter at the moment.

"Xixi, stay close to us later," he said.

As soon as the timing was right, Chu Baihan lifted the curtain and quickly got off the carriage.

Nan Xing and Ruolan guarded Little Tuanzi.

Yan Lin and the others followed close behind.

Hearing the commotion, the commoners all looked up.

Seeing that it was Chu Baihan and the others, their expressions turned to anger.

Qin Rong, standing on the temple roof, swept his cold gaze over them, then casually spread his arms as if conversing with the heavens.

"Prince Qin is beseeching the gods to forgive us," someone said.

At that moment, Princess Chunjing walked into the center and knelt down heavily.

Seeing this, the commoners believed even more deeply.

They no longer paid any attention to Chu Baihan and the others, instead continuously prostrating themselves.

"Gods, please forgive our previous irreverence," they prayed.

"I beg you, please let it rain," they implored.

"..."

Then, Prince Qin shouted loudly.

The sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds.

"It’s dark clouds!"

The people of Jiangnan hadn’t seen dark clouds for several months, and they wept with joy at this moment.

Soon after, there was a rumble in the sky, and large raindrops began to fall.

"It’s rain, it’s rain, it’s started to rain."

"The gods are immortal! Prince Qin has helped us gain the gods’ forgiveness; we will suffer no more!" they exclaimed.

"..."

First, the people hugged each other, weeping, and then they started to bow deeply.

Some knocked their foreheads hard enough to bleed without even noticing.

"Uncle Prince Qin, please come down, don’t persist in this folly!" Yan Lian just couldn’t stand it anymore. He wiped his face dry and called out loudly.

Suddenly, there was another rumble in the sky, and the rain seemed to lessen.

"The gods are angry! Someone insincere has infiltrated our midst, which is why the gods are angry!" Qin Rong said with a somber voice.
