Chapter 397 - 396: Dying for the Princess Is Your Honor 16
"Oh? How do you plan to resist, my little beauty?" Song Muyun was intrigued, reaching out to pinch Ah Chen’s chin. This little face really made him want to adore it.
"Ah—"
Song Muyun suddenly bent over and screamed, a certain place hurt so much that he started sweating coldly. He looked at Ah Chen in disbelief.
"I will resist." Ah Chen said seriously again, retracting her foot, "Now the Eldest Prince is definitely powerless, you’d better go back and recuperate."
Song Muyun took two steps back and sat down on a chair, his expression cold. He said, "Aren’t you afraid?"
"Anyway, coming to this place won’t be enjoyable, is being afraid useful? Better to demand some interest before suffering." Ah Chen said casually, and Song Muyun really believed it.
Turns out it’s just a dying struggle, it was normal.
Thinking about her future experiences, he sneered, "Without this Prince protecting you, your future will be harder, little beauty, you don’t know what you’re missing."
"You can’t protect me at all, so don’t say such things. Having not succeeded yet gives a few more peaceful days; if successful, even these days won’t be peaceful."
"If you truly want to protect me, then kill them all. I’m talking about them including the Bei Qi Emperor, your father." Ah Chen added with a smile, but would Song Muyun dare? He wouldn’t dare.
The other party wouldn’t do such a thing.
If the other party dared, Bei Qi wouldn’t have any changes, which is why she said the Bei Qi Royal Family was rotten to the core.
Looking at the whole Song Family, only Song Yuheng is slightly better. But this place is already rotten, even if Song Yuheng ascends, he’d only be assimilated, with his personality not even able to hate his siblings, let alone do anything else.
Song Muyun indeed laughed out loud, the pain lessened a lot, he looked at Ah Chen playfully, "The little beauty wants to seduce me to rebel against my father and siblings, creating chaos in the Bei Qi Royal Family? You’re not enough."
Not to mention the girl in front, even ten like her wouldn’t be enough, he wasn’t that foolish.
Though causing trouble, as long as the Emperor is in power for one more day, he can’t act recklessly, otherwise he would bring about his own demise.
Just meeting her, she wants his life, this Nan Qi Princess is really bold.
Thinking of this, Song Muyun was no longer angry, nor in a rush to take revenge on her with a kick. He hadn’t met such a bold character, let’s take it slow. He wanted to see how she struggles in this mire, watching when she’d be begging at his feet.
He glanced at Ah Chen’s foot, ready to chop off that disobedient leg when he was done playing, the thought of her tearful face excited Song Muyun.
"Little beauty, we have a long future." Song Muyun noticed it didn’t hurt as much, got up and left, trying to walk naturally, but still somewhat odd.
Ah Chen watched him leave, whispering, "The future isn’t long."
After this, a few princes and princesses came looking for Ah Chen, each with their own malice, but none succeeded. They were playful, thinking Ah Chen was interesting, not in a rush.
Watching these people come and go quickly, Cui Jing was puzzled, seeing Song Chen was not in any trouble, how could that be possible? Logically, they should be more interested in Song Chen, they shouldn’t let her go.
The next few days were peaceful, those people didn’t come over.
Even Song Yishui, who liked calling people to serve, didn’t send anyone to call Song Chen.
How could this be!
Cui Jing was resentful, thinking of her past days, her heart growing more uncomfortable. Wasn’t it said the Nan Qi Princess wouldn’t fare well in Bei Qi? Why hadn’t those people started tormenting Song Chen yet? She couldn’t wait anymore, really couldn’t.
The better Song Chen fared, the more uncomfortable she got.
It was because of Song Chen that she was in such a plight, how could Song Chen be fine? She couldn’t! They must torment Song Chen fiercely.
"In ten days, Father will hold a palace banquet for the Nan Qi Ninth Princess, then is your chance to leave." Song Yuheng’s words pulled Cui Jing back to reality.
Finally able to go back? Joy overshadowed the discomfort in her heart, temporarily not thinking of Song Chen.
The people of Bei Qi weren’t easy to deal with, recently they hadn’t acted against Song Chen, maybe they were thinking of ways to torment her. No rush, no rush at all, the future is long. As long as Song Chen is in Bei Qi, she won’t have good days, there’s more torment to come.
From her recent understanding, no Nan Qi Princess who came to Bei Qi ever returned, all died here, tortured to death, none lived past twenty.
"Alright." Cui Jing remembered Song Yuheng’s words and answered promptly.
Song Yuheng comforted, "You don’t need to be afraid, no one will notice here by then, even my second brother’s mind is recently on the Nan Qi Ninth Princess."
He thought Cui Jing was distracted by fear, unaware of what she was actually thinking.
Cui Jing responded with her head down, due to Song Chen she ended up like this, hatred for Song Chen was justified.
Song Chen’s fate now, it is blamed on her being a Nan Qi Princess.
As long as she returns to Nan Qi, she won’t argue with Song Chen further, everything can be left behind. After all, Song Chen won’t return, receiving the fate she deserves, she shouldn’t retain these memories, she must start anew.
A treat this Bei Qi trip as a nightmare.
Cui Jing looked up at Song Yuheng, the only light in this nightmare, but this place was too hard to endure, she couldn’t stay.
Song Yuheng noticed Cui Jing’s gaze too, turning his eyes away.
This place really couldn’t retain people, afraid he wouldn’t endure, becoming unrecognizable in the future, also afraid Cui Jing wouldn’t endure. Even the purest would be changed in this place.
After talking with Song Chen, he woke up every day, looking at everything around somewhat lifelessly. Originally felt the people in his mansion were alright, but upon careful observation, his heart sank. Unless he wasn’t happy, these people feared being driven away, as if something fierce lurked outside.
He once asked those around him if they would die for him, the answer was yes, but he didn’t feel happy, a touch of sadness rising.
Fan Shi and Song Chen’s words seemed to open a different world for him, seeing a realm dimly, joyful, peaceful... but wanting a closer look wasn’t clear at all.
"After parting, upon returning to Nan Qi, forget everything here." Song Yuheng said.
Cui Jing responded, "Okay."
"But I’ll remember you, Third Prince."
Song Yuheng wanted to say something but ended up not, he was quite happy with this statement, it was enough.
Ten days later, the Bei Qi Emperor held a palace banquet for Ah Chen, officially summoning her this evening.
Song Yuheng privately arranged everything, waiting for the right moment, Cui Chen would take Cui Jing away.
Ah Chen was at the dressing table, being dressed up by Lu Zhu and Hong Zhu, many jewelry pieces were sent from the palace, along with luxurious robes.
When Ah Chen walked out of the room, news suddenly came from the palace: "All Nan Qi people please accompany into the palace."
The hearts of the Nan Qi people tightened, what did the Bei Qi Emperor intend? Surely not something good, everyone followed behind Ah Chen sorrowfully.
Ah Chen glanced at Cui Jing and Cui Chen, then didn’t look further, sitting into the carriage.
"Cui Chen" glanced at the curtain of the carriage, unable to see inside, clenching his fist, why did it feel like he was discovered? Right, she also knew disguise techniques.
But she didn’t mean to expose?
Cui Jing ran away, and yet she didn’t care? Seems there were more mysteries.
Ah Chen sensed the confusion of the person outside the carriage, but there were too many people, unable to converse.
