My Princess and Crown Prince Are Revived -
Chapter 402 Finale Part Three
Chapter 402: Chapter 402 Finale Part Three
The deputy generals were each shocked.
They seemed to be pondering whether Chu Baihan was joking with them.
But seeing her serious expression, she did not appear to be joking.
Their hearts gradually became lively.
The Princess was planning to give these beauties to them as concubines.
"Princess, in my humble home there is only an aging wife who doesn’t mind if I take a concubine. I think, Princess Eight would be quite good for childbearing,"
Just then, a plump man stood up, shouting loudly.
Following him, another man with yellow teeth stood up, "Princess, I haven’t got a wife yet, Princess Two... quite nice."
Soon, many stood up vying for Dongli Ya and Dongli Ling.
Meanwhile, the people from Dongli Country turned red-eyed with anger.
Even Lu Chen’an’s face looked almost unbearable.
"You, you are too bullying!" Dongli Ya angrily said to Chu Baihan.
Chu Baihan, propping her cheek with one hand, laughed, "Princess Eight is really wronging me. Didn’t you say you wanted to enter into marital relations? These deputy generals, each and every one of them, is a dragon among men, who isn’t worthy of you?"
None of them were worthy!
That such lowly creatures dared to covet them.
Dongli Ya glanced at the muttering deputy generals, a murderous glare flashing through her eyes.
"The Princess jests. Our Emperor meant to suggest, hearing that the Crown Prince is without a consort, perhaps it would be suitable for our Princess to marry him?"
Lu Chen’an’s gaze was fixed firmly on Nan Li.
On Chu Baihan’s side, there was a moment of silence.
Yan Lian teased, "Oh, Crown Prince, both princesses fancy you."
Truly, watching the excitement without fearing the chaos.
Nan Li’s expression was aloof as he calmly said, "This Crown Prince has no intention to marry any princess."
"Crown Prince, don’t you think you’re looking down on our two princesses?"
"Indeed," replied Nan Li, "I truly do not think highly of them."
Nan Li said very directly.
For a moment, the atmosphere fell into a weird silence.
When the people finally came to, those from Dongli Country were so angered they almost gnashed their teeth to pieces.
But Chu Baihan and the others were painfully trying to hold back their laughter.
Yan Lian couldn’t take it anymore; he burst into roaring laughter.
"Hahaha, this is too funny, really too funny."
Lu Chen’an was suppressing his urge to murder as he fixed his eyes on Shi Jing.
"Mr. Shi, our second princess has heard a lot about you in Dongli Country and admires you greatly. We’ve heard you are also unmarried, you..."
"Sorry, not everything catches this general’s eye. State Preceptor, you might as well give up on that thought," Shi Jing said expressionlessly, cutting Lu Chen’an off before he could finish speaking.
"You, you..."
Lu Chen’an trembled with anger.
The expression on Dongli Ling’s face was incredibly ferocious.
These people, daring to humiliate her like this.
If it weren’t for the sake of completing the mission, she wouldn’t have stooped so low.
"It seems, Nanduan Kingdom doesn’t plan to negotiate with our Dongli Country at all. In that case, we won’t force the matter. Let’s talk about the terms of peace, then."
"Princess, Crown Prince, what would it take for you to release our Crown Prince?"
"Seven cities and ten thousand of your weapons,"
Chu Baihan said coldly.
"Princess, you’re really asking for the lion’s share!"
"If it seems inappropriate, State Preceptor can go back now, this Princess will absolutely not stop you," Chu Baihan said pleasantly.
"Is there really no possibility for negotiation?" Lu Chen’an continued to probe.
"No."
"I still have to write to our Emperor to seek his decision; please give us some time," Lu Chen’an said, holding back his annoyance.
"Of course, that is possible. Then I shall await the news from Lord Lu."
The banquet, naturally, ended on a sour note.
After stepping outside, the expressions of Lord Lu and his two companions were extremely grim.
"As expected, no matter how much time passes, Chu Baihan, that bitch, remains shameless."
Dongli Ling bitterly spat out.
"State Preceptor, we have planned for so long, must we really endure their provocations? You promised us sisters that you would hand Chu Baihan over to us for torment."
Dongli Ya said impatiently.
She could no longer stand it.
Her mind was filled with the impulse to humiliate Chu Baihan to death.
"Everyone calm down. If you act rashly and ruin the Emperor’s grand plan, I absolutely won’t spare you," said Lord Lu, sweeping a glance at them as he warned.
Dongli Ling and her companion could only close their mouths.
"However, you have indeed reminded me, State Preceptor. I truly can’t stand this indignation. Originally, our plan was to marry you two to Nan Li and Shi Jing."
"They hold the military power of Nanduan Kingdom in their hands. Once we control them, disintegrating Nanduan Kingdom would naturally follow. But who knew, neither of these men took a fancy to you all. It seems we must change our plans."
"State Preceptor, there’s really no need to wait any longer. We have been planning for so long, we can take action anytime," Dongli Ling said, her eyes twinkling strangely as she licked her lips with excitement.
"Are you sure that the drinks earlier were all consumed by Chu Baihan?" Lord Lu inquired.
"Naturally."
"Hehehe... The show is about to begin then. They all think we came to rescue Dongli Honglang. But to the Emperor, who could himself live forever, what use is there in a Crown Prince?"
"You all did very well just now. Late into the night, we shall act," Lord Lu said, a bizarre light flashing in his eyes.
He too had been waiting for this day for a long time.
...
Meanwhile, Chu Baihan returned to her room and immediately summoned Ruolan.
"Are you sure that Dongli Country didn’t bring too many people this time?" she asked gravely.
"Replying to the Princess, yes," Ruolan quickly answered.
"Bring more people to guard the Zhu Residence. I have a feeling that the weather is going to change," Chu Baihan thought uneasily.
Chu Baihan guessed that Lord Lu and his companions would be restless, but she did not anticipate they would act so quickly.
Four hours later, the quiet Zhu Residence suddenly became noisy.
"Princess, Dongli Honglang has been vomiting blood and is on his last breath, we feared he would die, so our men brought him back. We thought you might want to see what’s wrong with him," said Ziyi and Tang Yu, rushing Dongli Honglang into Chu Baihan’s courtyard.
Chu Baihan quickly donned a robe and hurried outside.
Dongli Honglang lay on the ground, his face pale, his eyes emitting a greenish light.
He was muttering something and Chu Baihan quickly leaned in.
"Do not take the Immortality Pill, Father Emperor, do not take the Immortality Pill..."
"Immortality Pill? What does that mean?" Chu Baihan murmured to herself.
At that moment, Nan Xing remembered something; she quickly spoke, "Our people from Dongli Country reported back, it seems the Dongli Emperor’s vitality greatly improved two months ago, apparently he took an Immortality Pill."
"That’s not good. Quickly, send someone to watch Lord Lu," Chu Baihan said with stern eyes.
"Yes, Princess," an Hidden Guard immediately ran out.
Nan Xing asked with a strange tone, "Princess, why are you so nervous?"
"If the Dongli Emperor is really taking some so-called Immortality Pill, it means he won’t die anytime soon, and he firmly believes he can live a long life," explained Chu Baihan.
"Tell me, an Emperor who believes he can live a century, why would he care about a crown prince’s life or death?"
"Even though this prince is capable, it is not worth trading several cities and two princesses for him," remarked Chu Baihan, her voice growing colder with each word.
Nan Xing too realized the implication, her tone somber, "I understand, you mean to say Dongli Country has no real intention of negotiating peace."
What then, was Lord Lu’s purpose in bringing those people here?
Just then, Ruolan’s anxious voice came from outside, "Princess, our courtyard is surrounded by a lot of spiders."
