Chapter 265: Losing Prestige
265 Losing Prestige
The emperor of Kai Kingdom looked towards the numerous reports in his desk with a dark face. After getting informed about his son's capability in creating trouble, he wonders just what kind of bad luck he got right at the time he needed to make a peace treaty with the Ming Kingdom. Prince Soujin was still in this city, yet his own son was making a big problem.
He looked towards the eunuch, "What did the servant actually doing?"
"They…they are cleaning up the trouble His Highness Prince Yang created," the eunuch tries to stay as calm as possible.
The emperor glares at the other party. "Where is Yang?"
"He fainted on the spot in front of the store in the west," the eunuch answered.
"Call him back! If he cannot wake up, just throw him to the pond!"
Seeing how angry the emperor was, the eunuchs were all running for their life towards Prince Yang's residence. Inside their heart, they were complaining at the trouble this prince created for them. The one who is making trouble was that prince, why is it them who have to suffer?
At night, they finally managed to get Prince Yang to wake up and face his father. Looking at the emperor's dark face, Yang knew that he wouldn't have a good ending today.
….
Jun Hua once again came to Prince You's residence and found the other party drinking wine. She stepped forward and took the wine out from the prince's reach.
"You need to decrease your drinking if you want to see things till the end."
Prince You didn't complain at Jun Hua's attempt for him to live longer. He placed his cup on the table and leaned back to his chair with a complicated expression.
"What do you have in the plan for Kai Kingdom, little guy?"
Jun Hua didn't tell the other party about her real gender, that was why he still thought of her as a man. "I want to make the kingdom disappear from the map in order to allow the unification of the entire land."
"And how do you want to do that?" Prince You asked again.
"You better off not knowing," Jun Hua answered. She stopped her sentence midway, "the marriage plan between General Soujin and Lady Tian Ni, is this the emperor's plan?"
Prince You nodded his head. "My father has been thinking for a way to end the war soon. From the time we lose too much from Ming Kingdom, we know that we are not their match and if the war continued, there is no benefit for us.
The plan to war start from Pan Kingdom, but it's not like my father doesn't have his own plan towards the area of Ming Kingdom. Now that there is no hope for them to win the war, we want to end them all by signing a treaty and to ensure the treaty is being held by the two nations, we decide to hold a marriage agreement."
Jun Hua nodded her head. If she did her plan right here and now, the marriage agreement wouldn't happen unless the next emperor still listened to Tian Ni and allowed the lady to marry Soujin. Of course, if Soujin did have the intention too, she knew that this act of hers wouldn't result in the marriage agreement being broken.
She closed her eyes for a moment. In any case, this was something she needed to do if she wanted to achieve her goal. There was no place for any other emperor and from the other party attitude, she knew that he wouldn't give up his throne easily.
"Do you have any last message for your father? You might want to meet with him today because I won't let him go tomorrow," Jun Hua asked.
Prince You rubbed his forehead before shaking his head. That father of his never cared for him because he has a sickly constitution. He already has more than enough talented sons to give him reassurance that the kingdom was going to be alright even when he passes away later on.
"I have told you before, they can go for all I care," no one cared about me except my fiancée.
The last sentence was something Prince You didn't say, but Jun Hua understood very well from the other party's expression. She nodded her head and stood up.
"This will be the last time we meet. I hope for your good luck."
Prince You watched as the other party disappeared from his view. He leaned back to his chair in wonder at who was the real identity of the other party. He never knew anyone from Mountain Kingdom who has that much skill and knew General Soujin very well, except for that one person….
Shaking his head, he leaned back to his chair and took his cup. It was not his problem anymore. He would just become someone who watched from the sideline.
The next day Jun Hua prepared herself rather early. She has already rested herself enough just the night before. Stomping her feet into the ground, she dashed through the shadow of night towards the palace. No one noticed her passed through their window as she quickly arrived at the other residence of Prince Yang.
Because of the ruckus this prince created two days ago, he was being held in this peculiar residence. After escaping once, the guard made sure that the prince didn't leave this place anymore. The size of the residence was not that big, but it looked like a fortress. She jumped down towards the door and swiftly knocked the guards unconscious before jumping up to the roof once again.
"The prince's room… it should be that one."
Jun Hua put an arrow in her bow and aimed towards the prince's room. The prince would surely make enough ruckus tomorrow and head towards his father to report about the arrow.
With that in thought, the arrow was fired.
