Chapter 947: I Don’t Believe That She Can Be Lucky Every Time
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Prince Xuan, his wife, and Yun Chuhuai felt uneasy all day.
Princess Consort Xuan had nightmares all day long.
She dreamed that Gu Yihan had discovered their ident.i.ties and sent their family to death row prison.
It was impossible to get rid of Gu Xinghan.
Originally, poisoning Gu Xinghan would definitely cause him to die an unnatural death. However, who would have thought that Marquis Yongye and the princess would arrive so coincidentally?
It was said that after their timely treatment, the poisoned villagers had also recovered.
Prince Xuan hadn’t eaten for two days because of this. At this moment, his face was withered and his expression was gloomy, as if he knew that a calamity was coming.
He couldn’t help but push the blame to Yun Chuhuai.
Prince Xuan’s face darkened as he stared at Yun Chuhuai, who was pacing back and forth.
“From the beginning, when you asked Prince Guang to enter the capital, I didn’t agree. Look at how things are now. I originally planned to use Prince Guang and Grand Consort Yu’s ident.i.ties to gain power, but in the end, they should be drinking soup on the Bridge of?Oblivion?now!”
“Not only did we not get any benefits, but we’re also about to lose our lives!”
“The king nurtured us to show our loyalty! We’ve been hiding for many years, but we’ve actually been ruthlessly defeated! Chuhuai, you’ve made too many mistakes this time!”
Yun Chuhuai had always prided himself on being meticulous.
He had never been bad at scheming.
At this point, the situation was getting more and more disadvantageous to him and it was getting more and more troublesome.
He frowned and pinched his glabella. “I didn’t expect that he would be fine even after being poisoned.”
Yun Chuhuai had asked around. Gu Xinghan’s arm had clearly been cut by a poisoned knife.
The poison was fatal.
In the end, he was actually fine?!
It was simply ridiculous.
Princess Consort Xuan bit her lip, feeling heartbroken. “This matter probably has something to do with Princess Yaoguang. On the day she was born, flowers bloomed everywhere near the Taishi Monastery despite it being winter. This is abnormal!”
“Think back carefully. She was involved in every single thing we did. This might be the key to our failure.”
After she finished speaking, Prince Xuan and Yun Chuhuai fell silent.
They all thought of the rumors in the city recently.
Princess Yaoguang was the favored child of fate and the treasure of the heavens.
Therefore, they failed to kill with poison and they could forget about launching an a.s.sa.s.sination as well. Marquis Yongye would first kill everyone who approached the princess with ill intentions.
He was too fast. No one could beat Ye Siming.
Gu Nuo’er was simply invulnerable! She was impenetrable!
Prince Xuan racked his brains but couldn’t think of a way to deal with Gu Nuo’er.
In the end, he could only sigh heavily.
“Fighting the princess is equivalent to fighting the heavens. How can we have a chance of winning?”
He couldn’t help but say, “I think we should think of a way to escape. If we return to our home country, we might still have a chance of surviving.”
However, Yun Chuhuai objected.
“Father also said just now that the king has spent so much effort and time to nurture us. How can we run away just because we’re afraid of losing our lives?”
“Moreover, if we were to throw away our armor when we haven’t even officially fought the princess yet, it’d be called incompetence.”
Princess Consort Xuan felt like crying.
“We haven’t even officially fought and we’ve already lost badly. If we were to deal with her, we’d definitely lose our lives!”
Yun Chuhuai looked up with his dark eyes and stared intently at an ordinary painting on the wall.
His voice was cold. “I’ve already written to the king. Since we can’t deal with Gu Nuo’er, I’ve requested for the king to be ruthless.
“I don’t believe that this Princess Yaoguang can be so lucky every time.”
When Yun Linzhou, who was standing outside the study, heard this, a hint of killing intent flashed across his dark and cold eyes.
He returned to his room and immediately wrote a letter secretly with his left hand.
