Chapter 777: Chapter 777: A Despicable Person Gets Promoted (4)_1

The group hurried back at the fastest speed, while at this time, Lin Ziyin had already begun her journey towards the capital of North Country.

"May the tomb prince’s wife persuade the Emperor." Siqin Qimuge prayed.

"The journey might not be peaceful, we should prepare for it." Batulu replied, "The Prince was a bit impulsive."

"The State Preceptor has an intense hatred for Chu Suifeng, the trouble caused by the Prince trying to protect the tomb prince’s wife won’t be small," Siqin Qimuge analyzed, "However, if the tomb prince’s wife is indeed able to feed our people in the North Country as the Prince said, the people will support the Prince. The situation may not be entirely hopeless."

Batulu did not say anything, but both of them knew in their hearts how difficult it would be to persuade the Emperor to abandon his war plunder.

"If the situation was to change, we should prepare for everything," Batulu said, sighing as he looked at the sky and walked towards the camp.

The weather was unpredictable. It had been sunny for only four days. Not long after Lin Ziyin and her group set out, the sky began to flutter with snowflakes again.

This time, because she was with Alhatu, the second prince, she did not have the same disarray as when she came, but instead sat on a warm and comfortable carriage, with Tana by her side.

"Your leg healed rather quickly." Lin Ziyin put down the book in her hand and said as she looked at her leg.

"It was just a sprain, I can’t exert much force so I’m taking advantage of your generosity," Tana was somewhat embarrassed to meet her gaze.

When they were rescued, she and Bayan both saw the handkerchief tightly gripped in Lin Ziyin’s hand. Inside it were five bright red fruits. Those were the fruits that Lin Ziyin had risked her life to find. They were sure that the tomb prince’s wife did not eat those fruits alone. Those fruits were meant to be shared with them.

No one had ever treated her so well, Tana felt guilty and her respect for Lin Ziyin increased greatly.

Hearing Lin Ziyin’s concern for her leg, she didn’t know how to respond normally.

Seeing her awkwardness, Lin Ziyin couldn’t help but laugh, "Now I’m your captive, this carriage is just a slightly more beautiful prison carriage. Therefore, you don’t need to feel like you’re taking advantage of anything."

"No, it’s not like that." As soon as Tana heard her words, she immediately panicked, "Miss, our Prince is an honorable and open person, he doesn’t treat you as a captive, but as a respected guest. This time he has invited you to visit our North Country in hopes that you can persuade the Emperor to pay attention to farming and animal husbandry, allowing the people’s lives to stabilize."

"Are you sure Alhatu treats me as a guest, not a captive?" Lin Ziyin asked her with a teasing smile.

"Of course, Miss, you can ask around. The Prince is not a deceitful villain." Tana seemed to highly admire Alhatu.

"Would an upright person use this method to bring me here?" Lin Ziyin decided to test her, she wanted to see just how loyal Tana was to Alhatu.

"Miss, you have misunderstood the Prince," Tana replied gravely, "It was the eldest prince’s men who kidnapped you first. We just intercepted you midway. The eldest prince’s men have always harbored hostility towards the tomb prince and Miss. If you fell into their hands, the consequences are unimaginable."

"So, I should be thanking your Prince, right?" Lin Ziyin asked in a teasing tone.

Tana’s face turned red all at once, "I am not trying to win merit for the second prince, everything is exactly as I said. If Miss doesn’t believe me, I won’t say anything."

Lin Ziyin lowered her head without responding, continuing to read her book with rapt attention. In reality, her mind was already in turmoil. If the eldest prince’s men kidnapped her, it would be unbelievable if there wasn’t an insider in the Wang Residence. The security in the Wang Residence has always been tight, yet such a huge oversight occurred. It indicated the insider must have held a high rank. Who could it be? Those messy women in the backyard? Logically speaking, even though they hated her and wanted to get rid of her, their freedom was severely restricted. They couldn’t possibly have the power to deliver her out of the Wang Residence.
