BXBX NOVEL Chapter 352 - 241 I really suffered_2
At this time, a former official from Chen Nation said, “Your Highness the Princess, now that you are the Palace Master of the Mysterious Moon Palace, with its support, our hopes of restoring the kingdom are just around the corner.”
Another person spoke up, “Now that Great Xia is in internal turmoil, even if the Great Xia imperial army defeats the rebels in the South, Great Xia’s strength will be greatly weakened. Moreover, there is news of rebellion within the Great Wu dynasty as well, and their troops have already withdrawn from the former territory of Chen Nation. At this moment, all Your Highness needs to do is return to the capital of Chen Nation, reveal your identity, and then the people of Chen Nation will surely support you and restore the kingdom.”
Next to the Xiwu County of Great Xia are the two counties that make up the former territory of Chen Nation. After the outbreak of war between Great Xia and Great Wu, these two counties were occupied by Great Wu, and troops were also stationed there.
But due to the internal strife in Great Wu, the Martial Emperor, in order to quickly deal with the southwestern rebels, has pulled back the elite troops from those two counties, leaving only some ordinary soldiers behind.
For the Mysterious Moon Palace, dealing with these ordinary soldiers is not too difficult.
In the eyes of Chen Nation’s former officials, as long as these ordinary soldiers are dealt with, and Chen Wanrong publicly announces her identity, she would be able to call upon the masses. By the time they could organize a new army for Chen Nation, Great Wu and Great Xia would realize that Chen Nation had already been restored.
Moreover, the internal conflicts within the two great dynasties have already weakened their strength, so even if they see the restoration of Chen Nation, it is highly unlikely that they will send troops to attack Chen Nation at that point.
At this moment, the former officials from Chen Nation on the first floor were all very excited, all thinking eagerly of Chen Wanrong returning to the old territories to restore the kingdom. However, at this point, an elderly man with white hair said, “Your Highness the Princess, I believe that restoring the kingdom in the former territories of Chen Nation is not prudent. The main territories of Chen Nation have now been occupied by Great Wu, which venerates martial power, especially the Martial Emperor who prefers solving problems with force.”
“If we try to restore the kingdom now, once Great Wu deals with the southwestern rebels, they are very likely to send troops to attack us.”
Hearing this, another former official of Chen Nation said, “What’s there to worry about? General Wei is about to return from Wind Cloud Island. The Wei Family has been developing Wind Cloud Island these years and has trained a hundred thousand elite troops there. With these elite troops, I don’t believe Great Wu would dare make a move on us while they are weakened.”
Just as the white-haired elder was about to say something, Chen Wanrong, who had been quiet upstairs, spoke up, “The matter of restoring the kingdom is of great importance. Let’s not discuss it today. We will wait for General Wei’s arrival in the North Country before making further discussions.”
Seeing that Chen Wanrong had said so, the former officials of Chen Nation didn’t say any more. Although they were former officials of Chen Nation, they didn’t have much backing. Although they all wanted to restore the kingdom, they could only talk; they could not contribute significantly to the restoration.
Only people like Wei Siyuan, who had troops at their command, could play a significant role in restoring the kingdom. Without troops, shouting about restoration was futile.
Afterward, they stopped discussing the restoration and instead talked about what preparations they should make next.
About four hours later, Chen Wanrong returned to the Prince’s Mansion from the tavern. Originally, she had planned not to return tonight, but somehow after leaving the Prince’s Mansion, she felt rather unsettled.
Once Chen Wanrong reached Yunrong Courtyard, she intended to go to her own room when she heard the sound of animals crying out in their wild state upon entering the courtyard.
Hearing these noises, Chen Wanrong’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.
That man had actually come to Yunrong Courtyard to do such a thing.
Chen Wanrong then activated her skill, concealing her presence before stealthily approaching Lin Wanyun’s room door. Next, she poked a small hole in the room’s paper window to check what exactly was happening inside.
Seeing the two overlapping figures, Chen Wanrong’s face turned exceedingly cold. She had only been out for one night, and they had rushed to this courtyard to engage in such acts.
Chen Wanrong felt a sense of oppression in her chest as she found the distasteful scene unbearable to continue watching. She prepared to turn around and leave, but as she was about to do so, Lin Wanyun said weakly, “Chen’er, I… I beg you, give the antidote to Rongrong.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Wanrong was slightly stunned.
Antidote? What antidote?
Lu Chen said with a laugh, “Wanyun, you can’t be thinking of other things at a time like this.”
Lin Wanyun continued, “Ah… Rongrong still has her own mission, martial artists… ah… it is difficult for martial artists to conceive. Yelv Nanyan has been married into the Prince’s Mansion for so long without conceiving.”
“If we wait for me to conceive… haah… your child before giving her the antidote, the civil war in Great Xia would be over.”
As Lin Wanyun said this, Chen Wanrong heard a series of hurried sounds, and it took a long time before Lu Chen said, “It’s not going to be so easy for me to give her the antidote.”
Lin Wanyun pleaded, “I’m asking you… if you give her the antidote and let her leave the North Prince Mansion, I will stay in the North Prince Mansion forever after. Whether you want me to serve you or bear your children, I am willing.”
