Chapter 393 - 372: Second Update
"Commandery Princess, Commandery Princess—" Housekeeper He suddenly panicked too. Wasn’t it said that the Commandery Princess had already left?
"Nian Ru, Nian Ru—" Zheng Boding immediately stopped caring about anything else and rushed inside, only to be immediately held back by Yu Yuan’s men.
"Prince, this formation has been activated, you cannot enter." Yu Yuan shouted loudly. How come the Commandery Princess is inside? Who just said that the Commandery Princess had left?
Prince Duan had already become unable to stand, his lips trembling. He hadn’t figured out what was going on yet. What did he need to figure out anyway? How did Nian Ru get taken hostage again?
Prince Duan did not want to live anymore, truly did not want to live. Just now, to intimidate them into leaving, Yu Yuan had already explained how terrifying this formation was. As soon as one made contact with it, they would turn to dust and smoke.
"Prince, Prince, hold on." Housekeeper He was dragging his own Prince along when suddenly, his back—oh, his back.
"Crown Prince, Crown Prince—" As soon as Prince Duan caught sight of Zheng Congyuan, he pinned all his hopes on the newly arrived Zheng Congyuan. At this moment, his lips quivered, and he became unable to speak.
Ju Nanyi took one look at Prince Duan and remembered what some older officials had said. When he was young, Prince Duan was wise and decisive, possessing the talent for governance. Moreover, he was extraordinarily talented, once making nearly half the imperial court’s ministers think of yielding their positions to him. Now, Prince Duan seemed to be no different from an ordinary person on the surface, but especially in urgent situations, he showed none of the wisdom of his youth.
It was only after Ju Nanyi started following the Crown Prince that he faintly learned of the Empress Dowager’s use of secret medicines. Thus, the current condition of Prince Duan was something that had been gradually added, almost imperceptible to others.
Zheng Congyuan did not look at Prince Duan. At this moment, he had no mind to care for others—he didn’t want to care for others. He wished he could mutilate the young man a thousand times over, for he had dared to make a move on Nian Ru.
The young man dared not take another step. With each step, should the formation activate, Nian Ru would inevitably be affected.
