Chapter 19: Since Me!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The Third Prince felt that he would never have a good life!

The Eldest Prince, Li Yuanqing, had been the Crown Prince, the Second Prince had been the Crown Prince, and the Fourth Prince was the Crown Prince. Although he had been conferred a title, his fief was in the Wilderness. This made him sometimes wonder if he was the son of His Majesty.

Of his four sons, he was the only one who had never been the crown prince.

However, he was the person who wanted that position the most, so he didn’t feel happy at all. No matter how his mother comforted him and said that his father doted on him, he still felt that he couldn’t become the crown prince. It was all a joke.

He wanted to do whatever he wanted, especially in his own fief.

Therefore, Hu Jiujiu was snatched away. This woman was so beautiful that one couldn’t take their eyes off her. When she stood there and didn’t speak, she was dignified and pure, but when she looked at people, her phoenix eyes were overflowing with brilliance.

How could there be such a beautiful woman?

He had really picked up a treasure. Even if he couldn’t become the crown prince for the time being, he would have a better sex life than anyone else with this woman. His older brother was really lucky with women.

So that night, Hu Jiujiu was sent to his bedroom.

But an accident happened at night. The Wilderness, which had been peaceful for a year, had once again experienced a beast tide. Furthermore, the leader was the qilin beast that was spewing fire everywhere.

All the garrison troops went to encircle and annihilate those vicious beasts. No one knew that the Third Prince, who was thinking about their wedding night, was actually scared to death.

There was no other reason for this. In order to please the Third Prince, his maidservant had intentionally put a white veil on Hu Jiujiu. This was the Third Prince’s special hobby.

According to the legends, that female Martial Saint was dressed like this.

It was a pity that after Hu Jiujiu wore the veil, the aura she emitted caused the Third Prince’s heart to race. However, he suddenly recalled that this beauty before him was definitely the Martial Saint.

He dared to steal a Martial Saint? In an instant, the Third Prince’s heart started to beat faster again. When he heard the cries of beasts outside and the female Martial Saint raising her hand coldly, he was scared to death!

Hu Jiujiu returned to the Wilderness Valley before dawn.

Li Yuanqing did not ask anything when he saw her the next day. He only heard about what happened last night when Wang Shun delivered food to Li Yuanqing.

“Beast tide. The beast tide was really too frightening. The palace that the Third Prince stayed in was burned, and the Third Prince died as well. It’s strange that there isn’t a single wound on his body. Someone said that he was frightened to death when his pupils dilated…” As Wang Shun spoke, he did not even dare to raise his head to look at Hu Jiujiu.

He knew that Hu Jiujiu had been taken away by the Third Prince last night. But the Third Prince was dead so the garrison general sent someone to escort the Third Prince’s corpse back to the Imperial City.

No one mentioned Hu Jiujiu, as if the Third Prince had never taken her away.

When Li Huanjun saw the Third Prince’s corpse, he looked rather sad. He ordered his men to investigate what had happened.

The garrison general’s report said that it was due to the beast tide. The Third Prince’s body was weak and he had probably seen something to be frightened to death. Because the garrison had been resisting the beast tide that day, they didn’t know the exact cause of his death.

Li Huanjun immediately sent someone to investigate. The Third Prince was indeed frightened to death.

This prince was really too cowardly. However, he was still his son after all. Li Huanjun still got someone to bury him. However, when the Third Prince was buried, something big suddenly happened in the Crown Prince’s mansion.

The Crown Prince suddenly fell unconscious while the little eunuch who was serving him committed suicide and was discovered.

The Emperor was furious. After a round of investigation, he realized that this little eunuch was actually the Third Prince’s sacrificial soldier. He was the one who arranged for him to be by the Crown Prince’s side. Back then, they had agreed to kill the Crown Prince if anything happened to him.

Under the wrath of the Emperor, he ordered his men to try their best to save the Crown Prince. However, they only managed to save his life. His meridians and body were all spoiled and his body was even weaker than an ordinary person. It was already a blessing to be able to breathe.

Li Huanjun seemed to have aged ten years in just one night. He originally had four princes. One was crippled, two were dead, and one was injured. For a time, the Kingdom was actually facing a situation where there was no successor.

At this moment, Princess Zhaoyang came to see her father. She knelt down and bowed to Li Huanjun. “Father, Brother is in the Wilderness and his strength is even stronger than before. He is the best candidate for Crown Prince. I beg you to let him return to the palace as soon as possible…”

At this moment, Princess Zhaoyang had a slender figure and an elegant aura. She was already at the peak of the sixth-grade. Even though she was kneeling in front of Li Huanjun, she was still very graceful.

“Don’t mention that unfilial son again!” Li Huanjun, who was extremely frustrated in his heart, suddenly raised his voice and angrily smashed the inkstone on the table. Countless pieces of the inkstone flew up, and some of them flew towards Princess Zhaoyang’s face.

The peak sixth-grade martial artist, Zhaoyang, closed her eyes at this time. She allowed the scraps to fall on her face, but her heart was completely disappointed.

She had always remembered her promise to her brother all these years. She wanted her brother to return to the palace.

No matter how fast her improvement was, even when she agreed to the arrangement that her father had made for her to marry Prince Zhongyi, she only had one request, and that was for her brother to return to the palace.

Even when the Third Prince had caused the Second Prince to become a cripple for his entire life, even when the Fourth Prince had done many dirty things in the dark, even snatching the beauties of the common people and forcing them to their deaths. Her father pretended not to notice. He gave the Third Prince an elaborate, and continued to raise the Fourth Prince.

However, her brother had merely disobeyed his orders. Yet, he had rejected her countless times, calling him an unfilial son.

Princess Zhaoyang finally understood that her father was not a good father. He would sacrifice her and her brother for the sake of the kingdom. He has feelings for the other princes. However, he did not feel any warmth or fatherly love towards her brother.

She wanted to be the Crown Princess, she wanted to be the ruler of the Northern Kingdom. Only by doing so would she be able to fulfill her promise to her brother. She wanted him to return to the palace in front of everyone.

This was his home. He was the true owner of the Northern Kingdom.

“Zhaoyang, why didn’t you dodge?” Li Huanjun saw the cut on Princess Zhaoyang’s face. The cut was between her eyebrows. As a peak sixth-grade martial artist, she would only be injured by the cut unless she did not want to avoid it.

“Your Majesty, I want to be the Crown Princess!” Zhaoyang, who had already thought everything through, knelt down to Li Huanjun once again. Her tone was unusually calm, as if she was saying that the weather was good today, because she had already made up her mind and would not change it.

“The Northern Kingdom has never had a crown princess…”

“I know, there will be one since me!”
