The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 471: buried
Chapter 471 Buried
While he was still hesitating, Prince Liang’s body showed a nervous posture. He took two steps back as if frightened and grabbed the corner of his clothes: “What do you mean, Princess Zhenguo?”
“This is someone from the Crown Prince’s Mansion!” Bai Qing said in a cold voice, “Prince Liang intended to marry my cousin Dong Tingzhen. Your Majesty did not agree because you saw that Prince Liang was eyeing the military power in the hands of my uncle Dong Qingyue. If today, Prince Liang was involved with Liu Ruofu, the daughter of Prince Xian, who holds a large number of troops, and tarnished Liu Ruofu’s reputation, forcing Liu Ruofu to marry you, what do you think Your Majesty would think?”
King Liang clenched his fists at his side and looked at Bai Qingyan: “Why did Princess Zhenguo help me? I once… framed the Bai family!”
“To prevent my cousin Dong Tingzhen from being sad! Who told my cousin to marry you?” Bai Qingyan spoke slowly, “Now, King Liang has only two choices. If you are sincere to Tingzhen, then get on the carriage… I will arrange for you and Tingzhen to stay away from the capital city, a place of trouble, and become an ordinary couple, but there will no longer be King Liang in this world!”
Prince Liang straightened his back, worried that Dong Tingzhen was in the carriage. His pupils trembled slightly, and he said aggrievedly: “But… I can’t ruin the innocence of Princess Nandu and just walk away!”
Bai Qingyan looked at the King of Liang, who played the role of a kind-hearted fool to perfection, and said, “After this incident, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will come to the palace to admit that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who had a one-night stand with Liu Ruofu. Of course… If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince marries Liu Ruofu, the King of Xian will definitely favor his son-in-law and will definitely help the Crown Prince ascend to the throne. After all… only if the Crown Prince ascends to the throne, her daughter’s child will have a chance to become the Emperor of Jin in the future.”
King Liang’s throat churned: “But…”
“Your Highness the Crown Prince is not so stupid as to push Liu Ruofu to your side! After all, the Prince Xian behind Liu Ruofu has the military power!”
Seeing the hesitation of Prince Liang, Bai Qingyan smiled softly and said, “If you are not sincere to Ting Zhen, this matter ends here… I will let it go and you can fight with the prince. Of course… I have become the prince’s disciple now, so I will definitely give him advice. I will have to knock you out and throw you back, or have someone take care of Prince Liang until His Royal Highness the Prince comes to the palace to plead guilty and ask for marriage, and then release His Royal Highness the Prince of Liang! But by then… I can’t guarantee what the prince will say in front of His Majesty, and what crime His Majesty will punish Prince Liang for.”
Seeing King Liang’s eyes glancing in the direction of the carriage, Bai Qingyan raised his eyebrows and turned back to tell Lupin: “Let King Liang see… Ting Zhen is not in the carriage.”
King Liang clenched his fists and saw Lupin lift the curtain of the carriage to reveal that there was no one inside. He straightened his back, which was usually hunched over because he pretended to be cowardly.
Bai Qingyan continued to put pressure on King Liang: “What will the prince say after entering the palace? Oh… When his highness King Liang saw that he failed to marry Dong Tingzhen, the daughter of the Dong family, he shamelessly coveted the military power in the hands of Prince Xian, and drugged Princess Nandu Liu Ruofu with the intention of forcing her to marry him! After all, Princess Nandu is the only daughter of Prince Xian, and marrying Princess Nandu… is equivalent to getting the support of Prince Xian! The prince was also tricked to save people, and had no choice but to tarnish Liu Ruofu’s innocence and was willing to marry Liu Ruofu.”
King Liang was shocked. Yes… In this way, the prince’s noble character can be highlighted, while he would get nothing but get into trouble.
“If Prince Liang has thought it through, then get on the carriage. I will arrange for you and Ting Zhen to flee far away. Although Prince Liang will not be able to ascend to the supreme throne in this life, I can still ensure that you will have no worries about food and clothing, and live a rich and comfortable life!”
Bai Qingyan’s words could be regarded as forcing King Liang and Dong Tingzhen to flee far away.
But Prince Liang was still hesitating, as his road was not yet exhausted. The Ninth Prince of Dayan once told him that he could go to Mo Shu Zhai if he needed anything.
King Liang gritted his teeth and asked, “Are you leaving right away?”
“Yes! It’s too late… Once the prince enters the palace, you won’t be able to leave! Are you still hesitating?” Bai Qingyan raised his eyebrows.
King Liang looked at Bai Qingyan and said, “I can’t leave!”
“Could it be that… you don’t really like Ting Zhen, but you are attracted by the military power in the hands of my uncle Dong Qingyue? Now that the idle prince’s only daughter Liu Ruofu has appeared, you think… Liu Ruofu is more useful than Ting Zhen?”
Prince Liang said nothing. He gritted his teeth and said, “I won’t leave! Princess Zhenguo, please stop forcing me! If Princess Zhenguo wants to knock me out and throw me back, I will be at her disposal!”
“Sure enough, in the heart of His Royal Highness Prince Liang, my cousin’s love is worthless! What’s valuable is Tingzhen’s surname Dong, and she is the niece of Dong Qingyue, the governor of Dengzhou!” Bai Qingyan laughed in a self-deprecating way, “But the weight of the niece of the governor of Dengzhou is not as great as the only daughter of Prince Xian who holds a large number of troops… It’s only natural!”
Dong Tingzhen, hiding behind the carriage, covered her mouth tightly with her hands to prevent herself from crying out loud, and her tears flowed like broken strings.
“But King Liang, do you think that if you stay… you can defeat the crown prince?” Bai Qingyan raised his eyes and looked at King Liang, “In order not to make my cousin sad, I can only take you away by force, Uncle Ping!”
When Lupin stepped forward, King Liang immediately took two steps back, took out a self-defense dagger from his pocket and put it against his neck: “Don’t come over here!”
Bai Qingyan narrowed his eyes.
Prince Liang glanced in the direction of the carriage again, still on guard, his throat churning, “Princess Zhenguo has already intervened in this matter today. If I die in it… Princess Zhenguo, think about it, will my father let you go? You have caused his legitimate son to be exiled to Yongzhou, and my father has long hated you! If I die… you must be buried with me!”
“Cousin! You don’t have to force him!” Dong Tingzhen finally couldn’t bear it anymore. She jumped out from the back of the carriage and grabbed Bai Qingyan. She didn’t even dare to look at King Liang. She felt her heart was broken.
Prince Liang’s pupils trembled. As expected… Bai Qingyan did bring Dong Tingzhen with him.
He has no way out!
Things have come to this point. If he can’t marry Liu Ruofu, he will have nothing!
Dong Tingzhen cried so hard that her whole body was shaking. This was the person she was willing to follow, no matter how hard it would take for the Dong family to go through!
She always thought of her father’s words, which were like a knife piercing her heart and making it bleed. But at this moment and here… hearing Prince Liang’s words and seeing her cousin forcing Prince Liang to elope with her, her father’s words were like a branding iron, scalding her heart again and again, making her feel miserable.
“Cousin! Let’s go! I’ll go back to Shuoyang with you! Let’s go… I don’t want to… I don’t want to stay here anymore!” Dong Tingzhen tightly grabbed Bai Qingyan’s arm, crying and begging to leave here quickly, “I don’t want to stay here anymore!”
