Chapter 540: Chapter 540 Retribution for Evil(3)_1

The Prince frowned thoughtfully for a moment and said, "Father, in your servant’s opinion, to calm Saknu, it’s not necessary to wake An Le. Has Father forgotten the purpose of Saknu’s visit to our Great Jin?"

"You mean... Zhao Yang?"

Emperor Jin was slightly taken aback; although he didn’t value Zhao Yang highly, she was still his legitimate daughter after all. He fully understood Saknu’s nature; how could he bear to let his daughter jump into the fire pit?

"I understand Father doesn’t want anything to happen to Little Sister Zhao Yang, but when comparing familial affections to the state of the country, Father naturally knows which weighs more. Besides, Zhao Yang is the legitimate princess of the Great Jin Nation, that Saknu wouldn’t dare to bully her. Maybe if Zhao Yang marries into Liaodan, the there’ll be an everlasting peace between Great Jin and Liaodan."

With persuasive eloquence, Nangong Shi told some unbelievable lies.

If Saknu dared to threaten them within the territory of Great Jin, how could he possibly treat Zhao Yang nicely for the sake of their face? Not to mention the matter of An Le’s poisoning could be connected to Zhao Yang, even if it wasn’t, with Saknu so smitten with An Le, how could Zhao Yang possibly replace her?

Emperor Jin understood all this, but he chose to deceive himself and believe. When comparing an unloved daughter to the state of his country, the choice was not difficult.

"Decree it, let Zhao Yang accompany An Le until she recovers!"

As a monarch, maintaining dignity was crucial. If he proposed making his daughter a substitute for An Le at this moment, he would become the laughingstock of all under heaven. Therefore, he had to subtly communicate to Saknu this way that even if something unexpected happened to his fiancee, Great Jin would provide him with a better alternative.

Zhao Yang accepted the Emperor’s decree with joy. This outcome was also the result of her painstaking planning.

Since Mu Caiwei moved into the palace, she arranged for someone to add a hint of Luo Anhua’s pollen to Caiwei’s blood-swallow soup every day. If the quantity of lure flower was not enough, its toxicity would not show immediately. She made sure to calculate the dose of the poison well, making it act out today, so she could not marry Saknu.

At that time, Saknu was bound to be upset, and her father, who was timid and fearful, must appease him. The best way to appease him was to find him a better and more suitable queen. With Saknu’s high standards, the woman from Great Jin he coveted could only be her or Mu Caiwei. Mu Caiwei was useless now, so the choice naturally fell on her!

She put on the Lotus Silk Pipa Collar, a Purple Shadow, Green Pattern Skirt, and tied a Phoenix Lingyun Hairstyle. On her head, she wore a Gold Inlaid Jewelry Half-wing butterfly Pin with a gem-encrusted coral pearl flower, dressing herself up like an immortal concubine. She examined herself for a long time in the lotus mirror and did not find anything unsuitable before she got up and went to the house where Cai Wei rested.

At this moment, Cai Wei was lying on her couch with tightly shut eyes, trembling with fear. Beside the couch, Saknu stood, his face dark, like a living Yama, glaring menacingly at the Imperial Physician who was checking her pulse.

"How is it? How long before she wakes up?"

The Imperial Physician wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and warily said: "Forgive me, Great Prince, Princess An Le is poisoned with the world’s most peculiar poison, Poison of Luo’s Flower. This poison has no antidote, those poisoned will sleep on until... until they are dead!"

"Heh..."

Saknu let out a chilling laugh. Immediately after, there was a loud crash. The Imperial Physician was flung out, all the way to the grassland outside the courtyard. Apart from the dull thud of his body hitting the ground, he didn’t make a sound, it was unclear if he was killed by the fall.
