BXBX NOVEL Chapter 935
Chapter 935 Pretending to Agree
The Crown Prince in a yellow imperial robe was standing on the wall not far away while laughing wildly.
When Lin Mengya saw him, he tried hard to suppress the urge to slap him.
“You look beautiful.”
He was not wearing armor because he did not think he needed to fight the enemies in person at all.
Moreover, the bright yellow imperial robe could show his ambition and identity.
From today on, he would be the most honorable man in Dajin.
“Thank you.”
Lin Mengya replied coldly without any emotion on her beautiful face.
The Crown Prince frowned slightly, not satisfied with her attitude.
When he was about to step forward, Baisu stopped him and said, “Your Highness, you’d better show some respect to the princess.”
The Crown Prince frowned at the pretty maid between him and Lin Mengya.
She looked cold, but he was turned on by her.
Both Lin Mengya and her maid would belong to him!
He would occupy both pretty women and the country and soon become the most powerful and happiest man in this world!
“Hmph! Princess, I didn’t expect you to be a woman of your word. You must be sad to see your beloved man suffering a crushing defeat, right?”
The Crown Prince was sure that he would win in the end, so he raised his eyebrows.
“The past is past. I am now Princess Rong’an from Lintian, and I have no beloved man.”
Lin Mengya slightly raised her pretty eyes with makeup, casually glanced down, and then turned her head away as if she was not interested in the battle below at all.
However, she had seen the man who had affected her fate at a glance, who was fighting with all his might not far away.
Even though they were so close to one another, Lin Mengya’s stomach was in knots.
She prayed for his safety and victory.
And she increasingly felt that the human-shaped garbage in front of her deserved to die.
“It is said that batches are heartless. But I didn’t expect a princess to be more heartless than prostitutes. I feel sorry for Tianyu. He was so deep in love with you back then.”
Lin Mengya had never doubted that the Crown Prince was a disgusting man.
Only he could think of such a despicable method to humiliate and provoke her.
“Your Highness, you’d better watch your mouth. Don’t forget that Lintian is eyeing Dajin covetously. Look! All the people below are people of Dajin. My cousin, the Emperor of Lintian, can send troops over at any time. Even if you succeed to the throne, how long do you think you can be the Emperor without my support?”
He should not have behaved so arrogantly. Lin Mengya was much better at saying threatening words than the useless Crown Prince.
Instantly, he put on a flattering smile and said,
“I was just joking. Since you’ve promised to marry me, I won’t treat you badly. You’re a noble lady, so I’ll make you Concubine Ning after I ascend to the throne. What do you think?”
Looking at his hypocritical smile, Lin Mengya found him increasingly annoying.
Concubine Ning? She didn’t care about the honor title others gave her at all but just wanted to be Long Tianyu’s wife.
“Concubine Ning? Your Highness, are you looking down upon Lintian?”
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and put on a dissatisfied expression on her pretty face.
“I heard Imperial Noble Consort has been the head of all concubines since she entered the palace. She is just a daughter of a governor. I am a princess of a country and have twelve counties as my dowry. Your Highness, you are not sincere enough.”
Her voice was light, but there was a hint of coldness and anger in it.
Instead of getting angry, the Crown Prince smiled. After all, it was indeed an insult to her if she could only be Concubine Ning.
“Hahaha, you’re right. How can that batch be compared with you? Since you asked, how about I grant you the title of Noble Consort?”
Noble Consort? Lin Mengya wanted to spit on him, and she had not expected that he didn’t even know how to win people’s favor.
If he were a smart person, he should have promised to let her be the Empress now.
The Crown Prince was stupid and thought all the other people were as stupid as him.
However, she could not express what she was thinking now.
She glanced at the soldiers in a mess under the palace wall as if she were thinking about the conditions the Crown Prince had offered.
“Your Highness, verbal statements are no guarantee. Of course, I can’t ask you to give me an imperial edict about such a matter. How about you give me an empty imperial edict? If you break your promise, I will use it as compensation. You don’t need to worry that I will use it to plot against you. As your concubine, I will have to live in the imperial harem. I will not get any benefit if I offend you. What do you think?”
She knew that the tougher and greedier she sounded, the more assured the Crown Prince would feel.
As expected, he blinked his eyes a few times as if he were thinking about the feasibility.
Lin Mengya was not anxious, so she did not urge him.
However, her keen intuition told her that a man was staring at and protecting her not far away.
Therefore, a surge of courage rose in her heart.
She was fearless now because Long Tianyu was there for her.
“Your idea is not bad. You’re quite a straightforward person. I agree to your conditions, but I can’t give you the imperial edict until I defeat the rebels and officially ascend the throne. Princess, you won’t doubt my sincerity, right?”
Ascending the throne? He was having a pipe dream!
Lin Mengya was sneering in her heart, but she pretended to be complacent.
“Since you agreed, I’ll go back now. The turmoil of war is so scary that my heart hurts. After all, I am a weak woman.”
She used to despise pretentious women, but now, she had to pretend to be one.
The Crown Prince seemed incredibly happy. Seeing her turn to leave, he boldly grabbed her wrist and said, “Since you’ve come, why don’t you stay here and watch your future husband defeat these rebels?”
Suddenly, Lin Mengya felt the gaze behind her had turned much colder.
She knew that Long Tianyu was jealous. In fact, she didn’t want to have anything to do with this bastard at all.
But now, it was not the right time to fall out with him.
“Your Highness, you’re wise and powerful, so you’ll definitely win the battle. But I know women should not get in the chaos of war. You don’t know how to treat women well at all. Aren’t you afraid I feel cold here?”
It was said that beautiful women were dangerous. Now, Lin Mengya knew how to make full use of her advantages very well.
Her face was still cold and proud without a trace of a smile.
But her voice was so soft and charming that the Crown Prince felt as if a feather had tickled his heart.
With a hint of leer in his eyes, he looked at Lin Mengya, who was delicate and charming.
She didn’t try to flatter him or showed flirtatious smiles at him all the time like other women.
But she was like the proudest ice in the world, making all the men who saw her want to conquer her.
Of course, he was no exception.
“You’re right. It would be my fault if you caught a cold. Guards, bring my cloak and stove here.”
Lin Mengya secretly withdrew her hand and refused his cloak.
It would be a great blow to Long Tianyu if she wore other men’s clothes.
She didn’t want him to be muddleheaded because of jealousy, although the possibility was almost zero.
And she just didn’t like to be surrounded by the smell of an annoying stranger.
Women were the strangest animals in the world.
The snow had stopped, but the capital city was covered by icy white snow.
The battle had lasted for a day and a night, so the narrow battlefield was now filled with corpses.
Lin Mengya was sitting on the high palace wall, surrounded by stoves.
But her hands were ice-cold.
War was too cruel.
She looked as usual and even pretended to be very impatient.
But her heart was aching.
These dead soldiers used to be people’s fathers, sons, and husbands.
Did the change of the ruler have anything to do with them?
She thought whether it was prosperous or in the chaos caused by war, the average people always suffered.
And she hoped wars would disappear from this land forever.
When the Crown Prince looked at the beauty sitting behind him, the pride and joy in his heart peaked.
“Your Highness, the traitors have been eliminated!”
Soon, a messenger came over to report.
Lin Mengya pretended to be calm as if she had not heard it, but she clenched her fists slightly.
She knew that Long Tianyu and his army were putting on a show, but when the time came, she still subconsciously worried about their safety.
When the Crown Prince casually glanced at her, he saw her remain calm and indifferent, so the sneer on his face became bigger.
He then stared intensely at the red army being forced back by the green army.
And he thought he had won this battle because Long Tianyu was just struggling at death’s door now!
“Kill them all!”
The Crown Prince had said only three words, but they had revealed his ambition.
Lin Mengya was a little nervous although she knew Long Tianyu’s strength better than anyone else.
The previous round of hand-to-hand combat was merely a show for the Crown Prince and his army.
Seeing Long Tianyu at an absolute disadvantage, the people of the Political Cabinet would definitely come out.
After all, if the Crown Prince ascended the throne by force, their cooperation would be meaningless.
The Crown Prince was a person who would go back on his words. And they should also know it well.
Lin Mengya knew she and Long Tianyu were both waiting for an opportunity.
“Your Highness, the rebels suddenly launched a counterattack! Our army’s reaction is too slow, so the vanguard has been wiped out!”
The messenger’s words instantly made the Crown Prince’s face turn cold.
There was a flash of craziness in his eyes, but he just winked at a servant beside him.
