BXBX NOVEL Chapter Volume 15 7.4
“It’s true.” Grinding his teeth, Qing Li nodded andcontinued, “Tong’s greatest enemy, the bastard who killed my father, hasunexpectedly dared to boldly enter the kingdom with my royal Uncle, who treatshim as an honoured guest, by his side. It is truly repulsive! Humph, he evenarranged for Duke Ming to reside in his own mansion. He is simply courtingdeath! He’s lucky that he is my blood related uncle, but wait until I ascendthe throne. I will never forgive that unworthy person who betrayed my father’strust.”
Because he had been fed medication over a longperiod of time, Qing Li had recently begun showing signs of muddle-headedness.
Shang Yi listened to his incoherent blabber andsecretly regretted drugging him so often. If by chance her chess piece could nolonger be used and had to be abandoned, how would she explain herself to theroyal Uncle.
Standing on the side watching the spectacle with aslight smirk, with a body that emanated a dangerous atmosphere, was He Di.Shang Yi gently pulled Qing Li’s arm and spoke in a pampered and lovable voice,“Your Highness, no need to say anymore. The time is getting late, and I stillneed to get ready for tonight’s banquet. Furthermore, doesn’t his Highness,Prince He Di, also need to change his clothes and freshen up?”
Qing Li’s attitude towards Shang Yi was truly doting,even being interrupted by her did not cause him to be angered, but insteadcaused him to laugh and slap his own forehead in realization.
“Right, there is a banquet tonight. My love, begood and go get changed first, dress up a bit more nicely. Put on the mostbeautiful jewelry and do not allow that cheap Zhang Liu to feel more superior toyou. Hehe, Prince He Di, our Imperial Palace is holding a grand banquet tonight,hopefully you will give me face and attend. Originally, I wanted to hold awelcome banquet for you here in the Tong An Courtyard, but it cannot be helpedsince your arrival collides with the royal banquet. Several guests have arrivedat the same time. Each and every one of the guests’ status cannot be ignored.Ai… there’s nothing we can do but gather everyone together in one celebration.”
He Di couldn’t restrain his curiosity and directlyasked, “Who are the important guests that arrived?”
“The first guest of course, is the representativesent by the king of Dan Lin, your Highness, Prince He Di.” Qing Li wrinkled hisface and laughed out loud, however his smile quickly disappeared as he said hisnext words. “The second guest is one my royal Uncle disregarded Tong’s face toinvite, Xi Lei’s Duke Ming, who is also referred to as the Xiao Family’s youngLord!”
“Oh.” He Di continued, “And what about the thirdguest?”
“Of course, the third guest is the same as you, myally.” Qing Li looked at He Di mysteriously and in a self-satisfied manner,whispered in a scheming tone, “He is an emissary dispatched by Xi Lei’s currentking, Rong Tong, for official correspondence.”
“I see.” He Di responded casually.
An emissaryfrom Xi Lei’s current king? This is getting more interesting.
A wicked smile blossomed on his handsome face,giving off a mysterious atmosphere. “Oh right. About your Highness’ plan toassassinate Duke Ming, in order to hide my involvement, on the surface, I willpretend to have a good relationship with him. We may temporarily create analliance. Of course, regarding your plan, I will not leak any information.”
“That is…”
“Your Highness does not trust me?”
“Of course that is not the case! I do trust you.”
Deep inside his heart, He Di found the man detestable.
Even if youdon’t trust me, what could you do about it?
Wait untilZi Yan falls into the palm of my hand, I will take him back to Dan Lin. It’sbetter if both sides fight until they perish. The best outcome would be an increase in the sand’s value and the death of all thoserelated to Zi Yan, with not even one remaining.
At times, He Di thought that he really should nothave been born to the royal family. His instinct had always been to plunderanything he fancied, just like a pirate.
