Chapter 300: Chapter 300 Nan Leqin Scorns Pretense

Hearing Nan Leqin’s words, a flicker of emotion passed through Lun Chengran’s eyes.

He said calmly, "Princess, rest assured, I will take you to find the First Princess. However, the fact that I plotted against the First Princess will inevitably be discovered, and when that time comes, I..."

"It’s okay, I will help you conceal all of this. Father won’t find out about you," Chu Zhihe shook her head, speaking with an air of serene determination.

Right now, her heart and mind were consumed with the fact that the wretched Chu Baihan was finally going to fall into her hands; she was determined to make this wretch’s life worse than death.

"If one day—I’m just saying if—one day the Emperor uncovers the truth, would the Princess plead on my behalf?"

Lun Chengran looked into Chu Zhihe’s eyes, his tone serious as he asked.

A flash of disgust passed through Chu Zhihe’s gaze.

This lowly creature, still dreaming of her pleading on his behalf, was delusional.

But remembering that Chu Baihan was still in his hands, she suppressed the disgust in her heart and smiled, "Of course. You ended up in this situation because of me, how could I bear to see you suffer?"

Really?

Lun Chengran murmured to himself internally.

The Princess just now, she seemed to have hesitated.

He never wanted to believe that the Third Princess, whom he cherished, could be such a despicable person.

Clenching his fist, he forced a smile and gently said, "I knew it, the Princess is a person of pure goodness. Rest assured, if I am indeed captured, I will not reveal a word about you, Princess."

Hearing his devoted words, Nan Leqin couldn’t help but be overjoyed.

It turned out this fool was so easy to manipulate. If only she had used him sooner.

Her eyes reddened, and she spoke in a pitiful tone, "General Lun, you truly are an exceptional person. If only I hadn’t been blind, setting my heart on Shi Jing, I surely would have..."

Her words trailed off ambiguously.

If this had been just a few hours earlier, Lun Chengran would have been ecstatic to hear these words.

Because he felt he had a chance.

But now, hearing them, his mood was... strange.

"General Lun, please hurry and take me to find my sister. Otherwise, if Father and the others find her first, there will be trouble," Nan Leqin spoke with unmistakable urgency.

"Wait a moment, Princess. I just had another idea," Lun Chengran spoke again.

"What idea?" Nan Leqin’s patience was wearing thin.

"The First Princess has committed many evils. Letting her die so easily is too kind to her. How about we cripple her martial arts and send her to the battlefield, letting the enemy kill her?" Lun Chengran tentatively suggested.

"No, my sister has led troops for many years, and there are so many generals who recognize her, what if they save her? Just hand her over to me, and I’ll deal with her," Nan Leqin said through clenched teeth.

This vile thing, how much longer does he intend to prattle on?

"I will keep an eye on her and prevent others from recognizing her identity. A person like her deserves to die on the battlefield, to atone for her sins. I will now request permission from the Emperor to return to the border city to stand guard and will secretly take the First Princess with me."

As Lun Chengran spoke, he turned to leave.

"Stop her, bring her to me!"

Nan Leqin ordered sharply.

Quickly, several men in black emerged from the shadows, swiftly intercepting Lun Chengran.

Ever since that incident, Nan Leqin had her mother arrange several experts to stay close to her, and now, they were being put to use.

"Princess," what do you mean by this?"

Lun Chengran turned around, his eyes filled with confusion as he looked at Nan Leqin.

Nan Leqin no longer wished to pretend.

The smile on her face vanished completely, leaving her expression dark and grim.

"General Lun, this princess advises you to hand over my royal sister," she said somberly.

Her voice thundered with a chilling tone.

"Princess, to commit such an act as killing the elder princess--there’s no need for you to dirty your hands, as I will do it," Lun Chengran said with grave seriousness.

But Nan Leqin let out a strangely eerie laugh.

"You’ve always been reluctant to hand over Chu Baihan to this princess. Could it be that you are unwilling? Are you, like Shi Jing, bewitched by that wench, planning to betray this princess as well?"

"Princess, my heart is with you, I have... absolutely no other feelings towards the elder princess!"

Lun Chengran raised his voice, his tone teeming with suppressed emotions.

But Nan Leqin was not listening to his words, "Lun Chengran, this princess has no interest in your nonsense. Hand over that wench at once, or I will kill you."

"Princess, you... you want to kill me?"

Lun Chengran suddenly looked up, his gaze filled with disbelief as he stared at Nan Leqin.

Just a few hours ago, hadn’t the princess given him a peace charm?

How could she turn around and want to kill him in the blink of an eye?

Even at this moment, Lun Chengran clung to a last bit of hope.

He suppressed the panic in his heart and spoke nervously, "Princess, you’re joking with me, right? I..."

"This princess has no time to joke with someone as low as you. Did you really think this princess would like you? Stop dreaming. Even now, with my tarnished reputation, I am not someone that someone of commoner birth like you could hope for. If it weren’t for your help against Chu Baihan, do you think this princess would spare you a second glance?"

Nan Leqin’s words were like sharp blades, piercing directly into Lun Chengran’s heart.

Lun Chengran’s mind reeled, his heart bleeding.

The elder princess’s words began to echo in his ears.

"Do you really believe that Nan Leqin would accept you? Give up hope; she just wants to use you to kill. Once everything is done, she won’t even spare you a glance, and might even want to silence you permanently."

Back then, he had vehemently argued with the elder princess, insisting that the seventh princess would never treat him that way.

Now, having experienced it firsthand, he truly understood... the feeling of utter humiliation.

Had the elder princess already foreseen everything?

He was so foolish!

"Tell me, where is Chu Baihan? Otherwise, I will have you killed," Nan Leqin’s eyes were as fierce as a starving wolf.

Taking a deep breath, Lun Chengran swallowed his heartache and said calmly, "The elder princess is being kept in a place in the woods. If you wish to find her, I can lead you there."

"State the location; I will send my men to find her," Nan Leqin clearly did not trust him.

Lun Chengran’s expression did not betray any emotion as he said with a resigned air, "My life is in your hands; I have no reason to deceive you. That place is quite hidden, and no one but me has a way of getting there, so it will have to be me who leads you."

"If you’re worried, you can send your men with me, and you can wait here," he continued to plead his case.

"No, this princess will accompany you!"
