Chapter 103: Swords Drawn and Bows Bent
"Hurry and leave—" Xing Yu unceremoniously dismissed him. Did they think they could just come and go from the Qishun Building as they pleased?
"You, you—" Duke of Jing Ci had never felt so humiliated. How could such a woman be entrusted with such a great responsibility? And how could she ever become a part of their Nanmen State...
Tan Zong seemed to think it was improper. He had followed the Princely Heir twice and knew that the Princely Heir had a habit of being submissive in front of the Commandery Princess. Duke of Jing Ci just didn’t understand the situation and was likely going to achieve the opposite of what he wanted.
But there was one thing Tan Zong was very clear about: the Princely Heir’s heart was in Nanzheng State, in this Qishun Building. Such a situation was absolutely detrimental to what they needed to do next, and it would undoubtedly be a fatal weakness for the Princely Heir in the future.
Tan Zong didn’t stop Duke of Jing Ci but stepped forward and grabbed him by the arm.
"Uncle Han, calm down. Her Royal Highness the Princess is someone the Princely Heir values highly. We must find another way to handle this matter." Tan Zong’s words only stoked the fire in Duke of Jing Ci’s heart. This woman would definitely be trouble for the Princely Heir in the future.
"Princess Chao Ren, since your people say so, then please cut off all ties with our Princely Heir from now on." Duke of Jing Ci said loudly. Were it not for Princess Chao Ren, how would Prince Duan have targeted the Princely Heir? Given the current situation, the Princely Heir should be hiding his strength, waiting for their preparations to be complete so that they could return triumphantly to Nanmen.
"Uncle Han, you are being impulsive. Saving the Crown Prince is what matters most." Tan Zong quickly had men pull Uncle Han away, who was dragged outside by the arms by two Nanmen Death Soldiers.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess, please calm your anger. This man is the Princely Heir’s tutor. I ask that you do not hold his words against him for the sake of our Princely Heir," Tan Zong immediately bowed respectfully and hurriedly followed them out.
"Uncle Han, Uncle Han, don’t be rash. We can’t mess this up." Tan Zong quickly caught up to Duke of Jing Ci. "After all, Her Highness did save our Princely Heir’s life. In the Princely Heir’s heart, she weighs more than you and I."
Hearing this, Duke of Jing Ci stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Tan Zong. What did he just say? The Princely Heir couldn’t be the type of person who couldn’t distinguish right from wrong, could he? Bearing such a great responsibility, how could he be swayed by a woman?
