The Princess of Northern Land
Chapter 775: The Triumph of the Vile (2)_1

"What if the Prince Consort refuses?" Si Qin Qimuge asked.

"Then kill her." Batulu’s eyes revealed a fierce light. "But at that time, it will definitely anger Chu Suifeng. But if the Prince does not kill her, the Crown Prince and State Preceptor will surely impeach the Prince because of this matter, has the Prince thought about his route of retreat?"

"I would rather be impeached than kill the Prince Consort. According to the spy’s report, Chu Suifeng is extremely fond of the Prince Consort. If we kill the Prince Consort, Chu Suifeng will definitely go mad and he might not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of the people and soldiers of both countries to fight." Alhatu answered confidently.

"By bringing the Prince Consort to the North Country, the Prince has already angered Chu Suifeng." Si Qin Qimuge points out the fact with a bitter smile.

"As long as the Prince Consort is willing to give in, Chu Suifeng will surely agree to a truce in the end." Alhatu seems to know Chu Suifeng’s personality very well, "and he should be thankful to us. If it wasn’t for me saving the Prince Consort from the Crown Prince’s hands, she would be a corpse by now."

"As long as the Prince Consort is on the land of the North Country, Chu Suifeng will never owe the Prince a favor. If anything happens to the Prince Consort on the land of the North Country, Chu Suifeng will definitely make the Prince his number one enemy." Batulu analyzed calmly, "So, The Prince Consort is a thorny issue right now. She cannot be abandoned or killed and must be protected at all costs. Even then, if we finally send her out of North Country, both the Imperial Court officials and the people of the country will think the Prince is a coward. The end result is a loss no matter how you look at it."

"Even if there is a glimmer of hope, I must not miss any opportunities." Alhatu sighed, his attitude very firm, "At dawn tomorrow, I will start my journey back to the Capital City."

"Prince, be careful on your way." Batulu warned, "The Prince Consort was robbed from the Crown Prince by you, he will surely not let this end easily. The journey back might not be peaceful."

"No problem, I’m not alone." Alhatu answered dismissively, "The day after tomorrow is New Year’s Eve, I hope to return to Capital City before the palace banquet."

"I will send people to escort you back." Batulu said.

"Alright."

Lin Ziyin followed the soldiers to the front of the tent, the guard lifted the curtain of the tent respectfully and said to her, "Miss, please come in. This is where you will stay tonight."

Lin Ziyin nodded and then bowed her head and went into the tent.

The decoration inside the tent was very luxurious, even the carpet laid on the ground was much better than the previous tent. There were even many small playthings placed on a wooden rack at the side.

It was clear that Alhatu had put a lot of thought into preparing her lodging.

For Lin Ziyin, luxury was of no relevance. She was tired and sleepy now, all she wanted was to find a place to rest.

There were no maids in the tent, even though she was sticky all over, she didn’t want to take a bath. So she simply went to lie down on the bed and fell asleep. There were several fire basins in the tent, the temperature inside was very warm, and within a short while, she was asleep.

It wasn’t that she was fearless, but Lin Ziyin knew that this place was Batulu’s territory, a military camp, neither the people of Changchun Country nor those of the Crown Prince would choose to attack her here.

Even the people sent by Chu Suifeng, they wouldn’t choose to abduct people here.

Tens of people against thousands of well-trained soldiers, only a fool would barge in.

Just as she was sleeping soundly, Luo Yan and Si Jinhan, who were hiding in the woods, had lost their way.
