Chapter 391: Chapter 392: You Can Try, See If I Dare

Everyone instantly fell silent as if chilled to the bone, and even the woman couldn’t help but restrain herself somewhat.

"I don’t care, today I must take Lili with me. If you disagree, I’ll teach you a lesson and throw you out of the house—then you still won’t be able to take the child away!" The woman threatened viciously.

Shao He looked at the woman dispassionately as she made her threats and said indifferently, "Huh, why can’t I take her? Is it because you’ve abused the child, or because you’ve never taken care of her, or perhaps it’s because you want to sell her?"

"Who do you think you are to talk to me like that!" The woman was at a loss for words and could only try to assert her status over him.

Zhao Yuebei hurriedly interjected, "This lady is the Fifth Prince’s Consort conferred by The Emperor himself. What now, will you continue?"

The woman had never imagined that the one she was confronting held such a significant position; she was stunned for a moment, her earlier brazen words now seeming like a joke.

But she still mustered her courage and said, "Even if she is the Fifth Prince’s Consort, it’s hard for even an uncorrupt official to mediate domestic disputes, let alone a Prince’s Consort."

"Mom, I don’t want to be separated from dad! Please, I’ll listen to everything you say in the future, just don’t make dad leave, okay? Waaa..." Lili cried out in pleading sobs.

The man also squatted down and stroked Lili’s little head, saying, "Lili, be a good girl. Daddy will never abandon you, go inside the room and wait for a bit, I have something to discuss with your mother."

"Okay!" Lili nodded in agreement.

Zhao Yuebei took Lili into the room.

The man’s gaze turned icy as he looked at the woman, "Let’s get a divorce; I don’t want anything, I just want Lili."

"Impossible, you’re dreaming!"

Of course, the woman wasn’t unwilling to let go of him, but she felt the situation was a huge insult to herself.

"Then what do you want?" the man asked with a furrowed brow.

"In any case, I will never agree to a divorce, so just put that idea out of your mind," the woman retorted and turned to leave with a swish of her sleeve.

The man suddenly rushed over, grabbed her wrist and threatened fiercely, "If you don’t agree, I’ll expose you and your cousin’s affair to everyone. Let’s see where your father can put his face then!"

"You wouldn’t dare!" the woman hissed through her teeth.

"You can try and see if I dare or not," he countered.

The woman, chest heaving with anger, finally acquiesced to the divorce upon meeting the man’s resolute gaze.

"This man is truly pitiable, having to swallow his pride even while being cuckolded," Qingxia sighed.

Shao He withdrew her gaze, "It’s all of his own making; one must walk the path they choose to the end."

With that, she turned and went to Yun Qian’s room.

"I have already developed the Detoxification Pills; now, we need a reliable person to deliver them."

"Can’t Ah Mo do it? Not only is his martial arts superb, but he is also the personal Hidden Guard of the Fifth Prince, absolutely nothing will go wrong. It would be best to entrust him with the task," Yun Qian suggested.

Shao He rejected the idea, "No, sending Ah Mo would definitely raise suspicions in the Capital, and there’s a high chance they would ambush him on the way."

As the saying goes, ’one can hardly fight against overwhelming odds,’ and should Ah Mo get into danger, the Detoxification Pills might fall into others’ hands, playing right into the enemy’s court.

Yun Qian, hearing this, felt there was some sense to it, "But there’s no one else in the Capital we can trust and that others don’t know about."

"Let’s wait a bit longer."

In the woods, Pei Huaian led a thousand Hidden Guards, silently lurking among the trees.

This operation was kept secret, with no information leaked; they even left their elite troops stationed in Changzhou, making it impossible for any followers to detect their presence.

"Prince, word has come from the front that they have reached the edge of the mountains," someone reported.

Pei Huaian looked up at the pitch-black night sky and commanded, "Pass the order, prepare to set off immediately."

"Yes!"

Two Chinese hours later, they were approaching the end of the mountain range, with only one cliff obstructing their path. Below was where the enemy troops were passing through.

"Prince, shall we set an ambush here?"

Pei Huaian narrowed his eyes as he gazed into the distance, his lips curling into a bloodthirsty smile: "Since they insist on courting death, I shall fulfill their wish. Prepare the rocks and bows."

"Yes!" The accompanying Hidden Guards responded, taking the command.

Pei Huaian stood at the edge of the cliff, surveying the landscape across the mountains, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

"Yes!" echoed the Hidden Guards in unison.

Soon, everything was ready.

At that moment, the sound of horseshoes approached; imperial soldiers were seen advancing slowly.

Pei Huaian’s eyes narrowed as he saw the figures drawing near. He slightly raised his hand just as the people came into their field of vision, then Pei Huaian gestured with his hand.

Hidden Guards’ arrows fell like meteor showers; soldiers below scrambled to dodge but still couldn’t fend off the assault. Soon, injuries were sustained.

"Dammit, who dares to ambush me? Show yourself!" the leader roared with fury.

Pei Huaian lifted his palm, and the Hidden Guards ceased their attack, standing still.

With one foot propped on a rock and his arm resting on his knee, he shouted down, "Long time no see, General Lang?"

"Is that the Fifth Prince?" General Lang exclaimed after recognizing the person, his leg— was it healed?

Pei Huaian looked down at the soldiers coldly, "In the name of my father, The Emperor, I’ve come to take your wretched lives. Those who are wise will surrender, and I might spare you from death."

He lifted his head, a sharp gleam flashing in his eyes and murmured softly, "I’ll rush back to see you as soon as I can."
