Chapter 813: Connection (5)
"I indeed receive favor, but it is my husband Chu Suifeng who favors me," Lin Ziyin retorted relentlessly, pausing after each word while giving the crown prince a stern look, "Under the broad daylight, the crown prince dares to lay hands on a woman, what great manners. From whom did the crown prince learn such royal etiquette?"
Brukan, seeing her composed and serious demeanor, trembled with anger, but since Lin Ziyin had clearly stated her identity, he indeed could not lay a hand on her again.
"Chu Suifeng killed countless warriors of our North Country, yet you dare stand on the soil of North Country?" Pondering in his mind over and over again, Brukan finally decided to use public anger to embarrass Lin Ziyin.
"Is it interesting to argue over this matter?" Lin Ziyin scoffed at Brukan, completely indifferent to the restless populace around her. Instead, Princess Alhatu and Bayan among others were on high alert. "It was your people from North Country who started the war, is the crown prince willing to play the robber, disturbing and looting our Northern Land? Should our people of Northern Land just submit everything willingly? If your people are warriors, aren’t ours? In our Northern Land, we have always adhered to the policies of ’good neighborliness, prosperous neighborliness, and friendly neighborliness.’ Anyone harboring ill intentions towards our Northern Land will definitely not be tolerated."
Her words were powerful and resonant, and the crowd suddenly quieted down.
Some were angry, some were ashamed, some looked displeased...
"Do not your North Country people honor warriors and the strong? How is it that, having truly lost, you cannot accept defeat?" Lin Ziyin mockingly looked at the crown prince. "Coming to your Northern Land was not my wish, but after arriving here, your country’s second prince, the emperor, and even the State Preceptor treated this Princess quite kindly. I just do not understand why the crown prince alone treats me unkindly. Or is it that the crown prince always treats women this way?"
Timur internally groaned, Chu Suifeng was difficult to deal with, and he had not expected his princess to be so formidable too. In just a few words, she made the people understand her worth, and further pushed Brukan into a dilemma.
