The Captivating Crown Prince
chapter-182

Chapter 182

“King Qian!” At this moment, there were rows of ministers kneeling in the main hall of Nangong Country. Nangong Qian was still dressed in his purple robe, but he was sitting on the dragon throne and no one dared to object. In the hearts of the people and the people, Nangong Qian was now the emperor of Nangong Country, it was only a matter of time before he ascended the throne.

Nangong Qian wore a purple embroidered robe and a jade crown on his head as he sat on the golden dragon throne. He had a domineering aura as he looked down on the officials below him. Under the influence of the great hall, his originally grave and stern face seemed inhuman, so cold that it made people feel distanced.

“There’s no need to discuss any further. This is something that This King has agreed to. No one is allowed to object!” Nangong Qian was determined. From one point of view, Nangong Qian’s overbearing stubbornness and the terror of his stubbornness, as well as his daily handling of political affairs, could be seen. He could accept loyalty and accept different opinions, but just the same, he was certain that nothing could be resisted.

“This …” The courtiers and courtiers had followed Prince Qian for more or less a day or two, and they more or less knew his temper. When they found out that the troops of Shang had left the country, many of the officials were terrified. However, they were stopped by King Qian. It turned out that it was King Qian who had agreed. How much courage and trust did it take for an army from another country to pass through a country? Many court officials did not understand why the cautious Prince Qian trusted Prince Shang so much, but they did not dare to say anything when they saw King Qian’s appearance.

“From today onwards, we will do our best to cooperate with the army of the State of Shang!” Nangong Qian gave the order to some of his trusted ministers. As for the remaining officials, Nangong Qian, they were not used to it, but he did not chase them away.

“Prince Qian, although the prince has yet to ascend to the throne, he has the responsibility of being the new emperor. Since Prince Qian is now twenty-five years old and doesn’t have a single woman in his residence, I feel that Prince Qian should choose his consort!” A minister stood up and said. Previously, they couldn’t interfere in the back courtyard of Prince Qian, but now that he was sitting on the dragon throne, they had to deal with women. Although he was staying at the estate, the ruler of a country had to have a imperial concubine no matter what.

Nangong Qian sat on the dragon throne, but his eyes were not corroded by the power. “There is no need for the ministers to worry about This King’s matters. What This King has said today is here, This King already has a beloved person and she is the only one he has ever had. If someone were to bring up the matter of choosing his wife again, This King would not mind drawing blood in the imperial court!”

The bloody words caused the entire hall to quiet down. From then on, there were also people who brought up the matter of choosing a concubine. Nangong Qian had also lived up to everyone’s expectations, directly stripping the court official of his suggestion and beating him until his skin and flesh was lacerated, throwing him away.

Nangong Qian who had left the morning court walked towards the imperial study. Even though he was still living in the palace and was still a prince, there was no difference between him and the Emperor. Therefore, he had to stay in the Imperial Palace to deal with the matters at hand. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time for both sides to run around.

Nangong Qian was not used to being accompanied by a group of palace maids and eunuchs. Therefore, other than some essential palace maids and eunuchs, he changed his position into that of a guard. Nangong Qian brought a group of guards and headed towards the imperial study, but he met a court lady dressed in palace clothes, no, it was the Grand Concubine He.

“Grand Concubine He!” The guards all cupped their hands and bowed. The empress and concubine that were once within the palace had all been dealt with by Nangong Qian. Currently, only Grand Concubine He was left in the palace, and Nangong Qian did not stay in the palace, nor did she have a concubine. In other words, the imperial palace was under Grand Concubine He’s rule.

Grand Concubine He nodded her head and greeted Nangong Qian, “Prince Qian!” Even if Grand Concubine He didn’t need to bow due to her status, she still did, and the crowd didn’t feel that anything was amiss.

Nangong Qian didn’t even look at the imperial guards as he brought them to the imperial study. Everyone in the palace had a plan in mind, it was likely that the humble prince didn’t like Grand Concubine He. The smile on Grand Concubine He’s face didn’t change, but her fingers clenched tightly within her sleeves. Suddenly, Grand Concubine He saw someone she wanted to see. She immediately put on a more sincere smile.

“Princess Lian!” Grand Concubine He quickly walked over to Nangong Lian’s side with an affectionate expression. Currently, those princes and princesses had either been killed in secret by Nangong Qian or they were half dead. Those princesses were either married or they had a marriage alliance. Only Nangong Lian, the devil king, was a princess.

Nangong Lian looked at the grand imperial concubine but still nodded with a smile. Others didn’t know that she was a subordinate of their big brother, so she couldn’t help but have a nice expression on her face.

“Princess Lotus is going to find Prince Qian?” Imperial Concubine He probed.

She did not like the palace at all. When she was young, she and her royal brother had suffered many grievances in the palace, and now that Nangong Lian did not come, it would be better for her to stay at the Qiangan Mansion.

“This grand concubine has nothing better to do, why don’t you accompany Princess Lotus?” Grand Concubine He smiled as she suggested. Wasn’t her purpose in staying at the palace to get close to Prince Qian? She hadn’t had the chance at all, but it would be much better if she stayed with Princess Lian. Moreover, Grand Concubine He felt that Princess Lian should be the one to make the king happy.

Nangong Lian suddenly felt that something was wrong. She looked at Grand Concubine He and discovered that although she was very beautiful, she was dressed so extravagantly as a grand concubine. Even her makeup was made up by a woman, so Nangong Lian could tell that this grand concubine He was not kind.

“As the grand imperial concubine, Grand Concubine He should stay in the palace to serve royal father. Also, with royal brother’s current identity, this princess is not used to people sticking to you. After all, my royal brother already has a name, and if I find out you crossed it, this princess will be the first to spare you!” After Nangong Lian said this, she valiantly left. He couldn’t stop thinking about it. Only Prince Shang was worthy enough to be his royal brother. These women were not even fit to be close to him!

“I won’t give up!” Grand Concubine He said gloomily as she looked at Nangong Lian’s back.

“How is it?” Shang Tong was in no mood to question Leng Yufeng and the others who had just returned from the outside.

Currently, Shang Bin’s army was camouflaged and hidden not far from the border of Qing Dynasty. Leng Yufeng and the others had just gone to check the Qing Empire’s deployment, after all, they were already on the verge of being shot.

“The borders of Qing Province are already under martial law. Fortunately, we investigated in advance or we would have been attacked the moment we got close!” Leng Yufeng spread out the map, “There are many archers on the tower, if we want to attack the Qing Dynasty, we have to open the gate, this is the most important point!”

He then nodded at Dauntless, who took out a map. Leng Yufeng and the others were shocked when they saw the map; it was a border guard map of the Qing Empire, and many of the secret passages were clearly marked.

“This is?” Even Leng Yufeng was shocked. One must know that the military map of every country was extremely important. The military map of the borders of the Shang Dynasty was on them, and with this map, they had a greater chance of winning against the Qing Empire.

“It was given to me by the Qing Mu Yuan!” After all, there were some things that needed to be done. There would be a day when the wound would heal, and the only thing he could do was to protect it and let it heal.

“There is an obvious passage here. This should be the tunnel that the soldiers of Qing Dynasty dug because they are afraid of being surrounded, but if we send our men to enter from the tunnel, then the archers on the wall will not be afraid. The people inside will open the city gate, and it will be much easier this way!” Leng Yufeng pointed to a passage and said, this kind of secret passage would usually only be known by the general, and every country had some unknown secret passage.

Shang unwittingly nodded his head, Leng Yufeng’s arrangement was the best.

“Tomorrow night, while the sky is dark, I will lead a thousand Blood Solidified Army to sneak into the enemy’s territory and kill the archers of the Mighty Nation. Yu Feng, you will lead the soldiers to attack from the outside, cooperate with them from the outside and quickly seize the borders of the Mighty Nation! As long as we tear a hole from here, we will take a big step forward! ” Shang Tong was not only speaking to Leng Yufeng, but also to the few generals within the tent.

“That’s not right!” Leng Yufeng was the first to stand out and oppose: “Wuxin, you stay, this general will bring his men!” Everyone knew very well that the one who was deeply in the enemy’s group was the most dangerous one, and the one who was attacking from the outside would more or less have a much easier time doing so.

Even the generals objected. It had to be said that the crown prince’s life was extremely precious. If something were to happen to him, no one would be able to take responsibility. Furthermore, the crown prince was so reasonable that he actually brought his personal guards against the enemy.

Shang Bin was not in the mood to wave his hand to express that this matter had not been discussed. Everyone was afraid that the crown prince would be cold and detached, but they all admired his selflessness.

Even if Shang didn’t have the heart to give them a lot of knowledge, it would be a waste of time to talk about military matters on paper. Shang was not in the mood to bring a thousand Blood Shang troops with him because he was here to train, but it seemed as if her training was considered a good thing in the eyes of others. Therefore, when Shang was walking out of the tent, he saw many soldiers looking at him with eyes full of gratitude, as if he considered himself to be the voice of the world.

What was even more exaggerated was that the Blood Shang Army soldiers were now being asked about warmth by the soldiers. Everyone was looking at them with admiration, while the corners of the Blood Shang Army soldiers’ mouths twitched non-stop as they talked about the crown prince. They were loyal to the crown prince, so much so that Shang Wuxin, who was standing far away, narrowed his eyes.

“Unintentional!” As soon as Leng Yufeng walked out of his tent, he saw Shang Wuxin standing there, looking at something. Under the night sky, Shang Wuxin stood there looking frail and quiet, beautiful like an ancient painting, which caused Leng Yufeng to approach him involuntarily.

Shang Wuxin did not need to turn his head to know who was standing behind him, his voice sounded forlorn, “These people think too highly of me!” Even if he did not explain Shang Wuxin, he still knew that Leng Yufeng understood, and understood that from the very beginning, he had been using these soldiers to gain his loyalty and support.

Leng Yufeng draped the cloak over Shang Wuxin’s shoulders, and the cloak that fit him had already reached the ground level of Shang Wuxin’s body. The huge cloak accentuated Shang Wuxin’s frail shoulders, making him look even more pitiful.

“Who isn’t scheming in this world? At the very least, if you give them respect, they won’t be taken advantage of. That’s good!” Leng Yufeng would not comfort others; he would only tell them what he believed to be the truth.

Shang flatly smiled, but at this time…
