The Princess of Northern Land
Chapter 856: Revenge (6)

Chapter 856: Chapter 856: Revenge (6)

Chu Suifeng held back his anger, and so he chose to break with the Imperial Court. Moreover, even as things developed, perhaps even if the Northern Land was willing to compromise, the Imperial Court would not be willing to give Chu Suifeng time to grow.

If there really was to be a battle, the position of Liao City became extremely important.

Since the Prince was willing to fight, then as his wife, she must not drag him down. Lin Ziyin was not willing to bring modern firearms to ancient times because their lethality was too great, and she neither wanted nor wished to witness such a gruesome scene. Therefore, during the previous battle at Border City, she did not design any firearms for Chu Suifeng.

But now things were different, and in a war flanked on two sides, Chu Suifeng might not be able to handle both, and the ambition of the North Country was always far from small. She did not want Chu Suifeng to make the slightest mistake.

As long as they could take Liao City as quickly as possible and give the opposition a strong deterrence, then the advantage would appear on the side of the Northern Land.

"Dangerous?" Chu Suifeng looked at her seriously.

Lin Ziyin nodded.

"I will have someone do it, and there won’t be any mistakes," Chu Suifeng assured earnestly.

"Mm, these next few days I also need to visit the newly built seedling sheds," Lin Ziyin said.

Meanwhile, the residences in Capital City had finally received the letters sent from the Northern Land, and even in the Imperial Palace, missives from the Northern Land had arrived. The content was similar; in the letters and missives, Chu Suifeng explained why he was sending back the beautiful ladies from his harem and bluntly stated that, due to their original health conditions, those ladies were still virgins, hoping that the residences would take the ladies back soon. Of course, if the residences did not take them back, he would, according to the laws of the Northern Land, allow those ladies to be self-reliant and join the population breaking new ground.

When the residences received the letter, there was a stir. The letter sent by Chu Suifeng was nothing short of a provocation and insult. Their well-raised daughters had been sent over, and the Prince actually disdainfully refused to accept them; wasn’t he slapping them in the face?

Moreover, Chu Suifeng’s intention was clearly provocative. What if the Emperor became suspicious because of this?

In their rage, all the ministers who received the letters rushed to the Imperial Palace to seek justice.

The Emperor was looking at the people below with a gloomy face, "What do you all think?"

Initially, the ministers made a fuss to get the Emperor’s support and also to alleviate his concerns. But when the Emperor threw the question back to them, it put them in a difficult position.

To accept or not to accept? Whichever choice they made was troubling. If they complained in front of the Emperor, did they not appear to be inciting the Emperor to start a war?

A silence fell across the great hall.

"Father, your son believes the Prince’s actions are inappropriate," the Crown Prince stood up, and all the ministers sighed with relief and looked at the Crown Prince gratefully, "It has always been said that a good woman does not serve two husbands; his hasty demand for the residences to take back the women is a clear disdain for the residences, and also disrespect towards the Father Emperor."

"Reporting to the Emperor, the Prince asked this old minister to take his daughter back. How can she show her face in the Capital City? The Prince is simply not giving her a way to live; please, Emperor, give me justice," the Crown Prince’s tutor stood out and cried wronged.

"Please, Emperor, give us justice," all the officials with daughters in the Northern Land knelt down and begged.

"Emperor, this matter is all because the Prince is too doting on the Princess Consort. The Princess Consort was taken by the North Country people for several days, which has tainted her purity. She is not worthy of sitting in the position of Princess Consort, please, Emperor, think thrice," an old minister stood out.

"I also believe the Princess Consort should be demoted. With a tainted reputation, she not only smears the Prince’s name but also subjects the Royal Family to criticism."

...

Seeing the speaker, the Prince’s heart sneered non-stop.
