Chapter 572: Chapter 572: The Ninth Prince’s Conspiracy

Wenren Pingting quietly observed Bai Junjun in front of her, always feeling that Bai Junjun’s expression was like she was holding back some powerful move.

Now was the time to intervene.

Having made up her mind, Wenren Pingting brought up a new topic.

"Your Highness, how is the situation at the front?"

Her question indeed drew everyone’s attention. Seeing this, Eunuch Zou cooperated by bowing to the crowd and excusing himself.

It wasn’t until he had left that Yuwen Luanfei’s face showed sorrow.

"Sigh, not so good, unfortunately. It’s said that the dogs that don’t bark bite the hardest, and now I believe it."

"Cough," Wenren Pingting interrupted Yuwen Luanfei, who was rambling on.

Yuwen Luanfei subconsciously voiced his true feelings before realizing there were others present and that his carefree nature should not run wild. He quickly corrected himself, "I truly didn’t see it coming. The Ninth Prince is a person deeply versed in military strategy, I’m afraid the third brother is in a difficult situation this time."

Who knew, even with his changed wording, his little wife was still not satisfied.

Wenren Pingting helplessly held her forehead, "Your Highness, now is not the time to be talking about brotherhood."

"I know." Yuwen Luanfei’s expression remained distress, even though they each operated their own camps, in his eyes, they were still the rowdy kids from back in the day.

If possible, he truly did not wish to be at odds. Wouldn’t it be better if everyone just focused on their own artistic creations in their own domains?

What was so good about aiming for this position?

Yuwen Luanfei let out a helpless sigh before changing his address again, "Prince Dong’s uncle was captured alive by the Jin Prince. At this moment, Prince Dong’s grandfather Liu Shang is personally commanding the army, but General Liu Shang won’t be able to hold out for much longer."

What he implied was that the Eastern Land would soon change hands.

Bai Junjun hadn’t expected Yuwen Jun to be so formidable, to even be able to defeat the battle-hardened Liu Shang and his sons.

In her memory, Yuwen Jun was a character of deep emotions and gentleness, nothing like Yuwen Luanfei at all.

With this thought, Bai Junjun couldn’t help but compare the two men, wondering who would win if they clashed.

Considering Yuwen Jun’s current military exploits, he seemed to have a chance at victory, but the man in front of her was an artist, and artists are the most unpredictable. Therefore, Yuwen Jun would probably find the battle somewhat challenging.

Moreover, behind the artist, there were many cunning court officials. These people had married their daughters to Yuwen Luanfei, probably because they saw potential in him. And it was unlikely they would allow anything to happen to Yuwen Luanfei.

As Bai Junjun’s mind wandered all over the place in speculative thought, Yuwen Luanfei suddenly spoke up, "Junjun Girl, although Pingting has told me what happened, I still feel there’s something strange. How did you come across the third... Prince Dong?"

Bai Junjun scratched her head. Since he was so candid, she decided to recount the events.

"Back when I had not been in the Northern Lands for long, Prince Xuanhe and Yuwen Jun were about to fight. However, fearful of defeat, Yuwen Jun wanted to prevent me from becoming a prisoner of war, so he had me join the refugees and head south.

Nevertheless, the refugees lost control, and those Yuwen Jun sent to escort me all died.

Unable to contact him, I could only continue southward.

Who knew that I would encounter conflict at the North-South Bridge, and then the bridge broke, and I inadvertently fell into the water, finally being rescued by a farmer in Biluo.

But by the time I woke up, the news that I had died and Yuwen Jun had moved south had already spread.

Because of this, I was both shocked and scared.

It turned out that Yuwen Jun had sent me south to make use of me.

Fearing that re-emerging would lead to him killing me, I hid my identity all the way and followed a merchant caravan back here."

Yuwen Luanfei listened with great interest.

"By that account, this whole affair was indeed a plot by the Jin Prince. Ultimately, the only beneficiary would be him."
