My Princess and Crown Prince Are Revived
Chapter 252 Two Prince Consorts

Chapter 252: Chapter 252 Two Prince Consorts

"What plan?"

Shi Zhouhan squinted his eyes and asked.

"Wouldn’t it be quite the tale if a bandit became a Prince Consort?"

Wang Zhaohai spoke with implied meaning.

Shi Zhouhan’s expression changed quickly, he had guessed Wang Zhaohai’s intention.

"Wang Zhaohai, you really do have some nerve." He clenched his teeth as he spoke.

Wang Zhaohai let out a sneer.

"Shi Zhouhan, don’t pretend to be so honorable and upright. Do you think I don’t know what you’re really thinking? On the surface, you’re cooperating with the Empress Dowager and the Sixth Princess, plotting against the elder Princess, but in reality, you want to benefit from both sides, don’t you..."

As Shi Zhouhan’s expression became increasingly ugly, Wang Zhaohai did not stop, but raised his voice even more.

"If the elder Princess were to become close to you, the Imperial Family, to cover up the scandal, might only agree to marry her to you. Then you would find a way to dishonor the Sixth Princess and use it as leverage to make the Sixth Princess obey you. Shi Zhouhan, tell me if my guess is correct?"

Wang Zhaohai grinned as he stared at Shi Zhouhan.

Looking at his smiling face, Shi Zhouhan’s face was filled with murderous intent.

Because Wang Zhaohai’s guess was not wrong.

He wanted the elder Princess, and he wanted the Sixth Princess as well.

He desired Chu Baihan, the elder Princess, because he could not stand her aloof and dignified demeanor. He wanted to drag her into the dirt and desecrate her.

As for the Sixth Princess, Nan Leqin, it was because she was foolish.

With the court’s current tense situation, if one day the Emperor and the Crown Prince were to die, then the Crown Prince’s faction would not spare Chu Baihan’s life.

And he, as the Prince Consort, might get embroiled as well.

So the best course of action was to have his own supporters within the faction of the Crown Prince.

Nan Leqin was naive, a perfect pawn to be used.

"I have to say, Minister Shi, you scholars have dirtier minds than we simple brutes. Knowing the fierce party struggle at court, you wanted your own people in each faction. That way, no matter who takes the throne in the future, you suffer no losses but instead rise higher and higher."

Wang Zhaohai spoke slowly, exposing all of Shi Zhouhan’s dirty schemes.

"It’s just too bad that I’ve guessed it all. Do you think I rule over so much territory because I’m a paper tiger? I cooperated with you simply because I wanted a share of the spoils."

Listening to Wang Zhaohai’s words, Shi Zhouhan clenched his fists.

"What exactly do you want?" he asked through gritted teeth.

His eyes were already furious enough to kill, yet he had to forcefully restrain himself.

"What I want? It’s simple—the elder Princess goes to you, and the Sixth Princess comes to me. I’m fair, aren’t I? Here you are, the grand Prince Consort, while I’ll be the Sixth Prince Consort, and I’m still one step below you."

Wang Zhaohai pat Shi Zhouhan’s shoulder, speaking leisurely.

Shi Zhouhan’s teeth hurt from clenching so hard.

He couldn’t believe that his long-cherished plans could be disrupted by Wang Zhaohai’s meddling.

"The Emperor would never allow a bandit to marry his daughter. If you truly dishonor the Sixth Princess, then you’ll have only a dead end awaiting you."

He warned Wang Zhaohai in a lowered voice.

"Hmph, the power of rumors. If I die, the Emperor’s daughter will have to be buried with me. It’s all the same to me, fortune favors the bold. Sorry, Minister Shi, but I am going to be the Sixth Prince Consort."

Wang Zhaohai lifted his chin arrogantly as he spoke.

His men began to rile up beside him.

"Big boss becomes Prince Consort, we’ll follow and enjoy the good life."

"Right, big boss becomes Prince Consort, we’ll follow and enjoy the good life."

The murderous intent in Shi Zhouhan’s eyes only grew, as he scanned the surroundings, trying to find a way to deal with Wang Zhaohai.

But Wang Zhaohai had already seen through his thoughts long ago.

"This place inside and out is filled with our people, I advise you, General Shi, to not act rashly. Otherwise, this Prince Consort position can only be mine."

In the end, he added, "I advise you, General Shi, to make your decision quickly. Otherwise, if your cousin catches up, things will become difficult to handle."

The noise here was very loud, so Nan Leqin and the others could hear everything clearly from the woodshed.

Nan Leqin’s teeth were nearly shattered from anger.

"Shameless, how dare they covet this princess?"

"It’s all because of your poor judgment in people. You’re about to lose all dignity of the Royal Family. If you get taken advantage of later, I command you to kill yourself immediately. The Imperial Family’s reputation must not suffer the slightest blemish because of you!"

The Empress Dowager rebuked her with a gloomy face.

Nan Leqin’s eyes reddened with furious madness in her heart.

"Empress Dowager, had it not been for your wish to harm Chu Baihan and insisting on going to pray for blessings, and dragging me along, would I have suffered these indignities? And now you still want to abandon me?"

With a "slap," a fierce slap landed.

The Empress Dowager glared at Nan Leqin, speaking with disgust, "I am your Empress Dowager, how dare you talk back to me?"

"What kind of Empress Dowager are you? Had it not been for my mother’s help back then, could you have secured your position? You..."

"Slap," another fierce slap came, and the Empress Dowager’s gaze upon Nan Leqin was as if she were looking at a dead person.

In the corner, Tang Zishen had already woken up.

He pricked up his ears, curiously watching the scene unfold.

It seemed that Nan Leqin held a secret of the Empress Dowager’s.

Could it be that the Empress Dowager had some unknown secrets?

But it was a pity that the two had already started fighting, and he could no longer hear anything else.

Meanwhile, footsteps approached from outside.

Clearly, after struggling, Shi Zhouhan had agreed to Wang Zhaohai’s proposal.

These shameless wretches!

To think they even dare to lay hands on Master, utterly despicable.

"Servants, prepare two bridal chambers, tonight I and General Shi will consummate the marriage with the two noble princesses."

Wang Zhaohai declared loudly.

The rest of the bandits responded raucously.

Bridal chambers indeed!

Tang Zishen was so angry he felt like exploding.

It was fortunate that Master was not here tonight, otherwise, the Tang Sect would have leveled this place.

The commotion outside was significant, showing that Wang Zhaohai really cared about ceremony, actually going so far as to arrange for bridal chambers to be prepared.

At this moment, not far from there, on a hillock, Chu Baihan and the others were observing the situation here.

With the wind’s direction and the aid of Inner Strength, it was not difficult at all for their experts to listen clearly to the conversation over there.

Shi Jing had arrived at some point, his face full of rage.

"Shi Zhouhan, he truly intends to throw away all the dignity of the Shi Family’s ancestors."

"Don’t worry, General Shi, although you share the same ancestor, if blame is to be assigned, the Emperor will not indiscriminately vent his anger on you," said Chu Baihan calmly.

He was not worried about getting implicated...

Shi Jing frowned, wanting to explain.

But when he turned his head and saw the tall figure standing next to Chu Baihan, his desire to explain faded away.
