Chapter 454: The Crown Prince’s Trump Card

Translator: 549690339

In the Eastern Palace.

Xuanhe Hall.

The doors of the hall were tightly shut, and the atmosphere was oppressive. It was filled with a murderous aura, and one could even hear a pin drop on the ground.

The Crown Prince had returned from the palace for some time. He had changed into a purple-yellow dragon robe made of natural silk. It was loose, comfortable, and light. He sat on the main seat with a cold face.

His eyebrows were tightly knitted together, and he was imposing without being angry. His eyes were like knives, sharp and cold, but also seemed to be hiding a monstrous anger that could burn a big hole in the sky. Under the dragon robe, his hands were tightly clenched, and a cracking sound could be heard. It was obvious how angry he was.

Just now, Qing ‘Er received news that Su Qiutang had sent Shi Xueyuan to summon Zhang Ronghua to the Heaven Viewing Tower. She clearly knew that he was one of her men and was highly regarded. Yet, she had tried to rope him in time and again. This was simply too much.

However, he could not flare up now, nor could he question her. He could not even say it out loud unless he sat in that position!

“Your Highness, do you think Zhang Ronghua will?” Qing ‘Er asked.”

The Crown Prince was certain that he believed in him on this point. He had paid such a huge price to win him over every now and then. He had given him spirit treasures, courtyards, cultivation resources, and properties. He had also paid a huge price to transfer him from the Eastern Palace to the Scholar Hall. It was also very good for his family and the people around him. He would definitely not betray him. No matter how great the benefits Su Qiutang offered, he would not frown. He said in a low voice, “I won’t!”

“Not now. What if she continues to rope him in? Zhang Ronghua had promised him more benefits and temptations. If he refused now, would he continue to refuse?”

The Crown Prince fell silent. Qing ‘er’s words made sense. If she could reject him once, she would be willing to risk her life and continue to rope him in. It was better to be safe than sorry. If he agreed and joined her, not to mention her own losses, she would receive a huge boost. Just the network that Zhang Ronghua had displayed, Pei Caicai in the royal court, and the power that he had nurtured with himself as the center might seem small, but it still had great potential. As time passed, he would be able to help her out. Their official positions rose higher and higher. There was still the Fate Academy outside, so no one could ignore it.

If she were to nurture him with all her strength, with Zhang Ronghua’s ability, he would be promoted too quickly. When that time came, the four forces would exert their strength. Coupled with the power that she had hidden in the dark, who would be able to stop her father if anything happened?

When he thought of this, he felt like he was sitting on a needle tip. He wished he could rush to the Heaven Viewing Tower right now…But he couldn’t!

After a long period of cultivation, he had already reached an extremely high realm. He was anxious, but he still sat steadily on the chair.

His thoughts turned quickly as he thought of a solution. Su Qiutang was clearly telling him that she had taken a fancy to Zhang Ronghua and wanted to poach him. She guessed that he would not fall out with her, so she did not dare to question him or bring it up. Otherwise, she could ask him openly.

After thinking about it, it was nothing more than that. Continue to rope him in! He increased his strength and tied Zhang Ronghua to his ship.

He looked at them.

Qing ‘er and Shuang’ er suddenly had a bad feeling when they saw the crown prince’s gaze. They subconsciously lowered their heads.

His gaze fell on Shuang ‘er.

“How is your relationship with Qing Lin?” the Crown Prince asked.”

Shuang ‘er didn’t know why His Highness would ask such a question, but she still answered honestly,””lt’s alright!”

The Crown Prince smiled, and the coldness on his face was swept away. He softened his tone and asked, “How long have you been with me?”

If she still did not react at this moment, Shuang ‘er would really be killed by a block of tofu.

Plop!

Kneeling on the ground, she felt anxious and her eyes turned red. Two streams of tears flowed out.”You, you want to chase this servant away?

“You hate him?” The Crown Prince shook his head.

Shuang ‘er was silent. She thought of Zhang Ronghua, and his figure appeared in her mind. He was young, handsome, powerful, and had a strong cultivation base. Now, he was even a Rank-4 official. She thought shyly that if she followed him, she would not lose anything. She would even gain a lot.

Looking at her appearance, two red flowers flew up on her cheeks, which already explained everything.

“Get up!” The Crown Prince said.

Shuang ‘er stood up from the ground.

“He’s not like before. Even I can’t give you to him directly. Otherwise, even if he doesn’t say it on the surface, he’ll be unhappy in his heart. If it’s even more serious, he’ll be unhappy and leave a gap.”

Shuang ‘er understood that she represented His Highness. If she were to reward him like this, Zhang Ronghua would think that the Crown Prince had planted spies by his side. With his current status, he had already revealed a little bit of his power. It was inevitable that he would be unhappy. If they really fell out because of this matter, the one who would suffer the greatest loss would be the Crown Prince.

When the time is right, I will open my mouth and reward you to him.”

“Everything is up to Your Highness!” Shuang ‘er lowered her head and replied weakly.

Qing ‘er and Shuang’ er were good sisters. When she heard this news, she was happy for her from the bottom of her heart. It was not a loss to follow Zhang Ronghua, even if it was a concubine or even a bed-warming maid.

As long as His Highness said so, Zhang Ronghua would not allow Shuang ‘er to be a bed-warming maid. He was smart and cunning. He would not allow

Shuang’ er to be a bed-warming maid. He would not give her any title. After all, Shuang ‘er had a family. People who left the Eastern Palace would give her the title of concubine for the sake of the Crown Prince. If she gave birth to another son or daughter, she would not have to worry about her life..
