NCCnovel Chapter 187 Uncooperative
Chapter 187 Uncooperative
The fifth prince rolled his eyes without disguising himself, and said with a little resentment: "Big brother, don't you know that I have always been just a dandy who indulges in eating, drinking and having fun?"
After saying that, he curled his lips, showing his unwillingness to cooperate.
The eldest prince was instantly furious, thinking to himself that this was no longer the time when the former crown prince was in power.
So, he simply put on his elder brother's airs, raised his voice and said seriously: "Fifth brother, you must stop fooling around. Now is really not the time for you to be petty."
How could the fifth prince be afraid?
The corners of his mouth slightly raised, with a disdainful smile, he said nonchalantly: "When did I ever act like a petty person? My duty is to deal with the banditry in Minyue. As for how to deal with the Su family, that should be your responsibility, my eldest brother. What does it have to do with me? Don't push everything onto me."
After saying this, he looked at the eldest prince provocatively, his eyes full of disapproval.
Seeing this, Chu Ci couldn't help but think to himself: Is this the beginning of an internal conflict?
Then, she gave the Purple-robed Envoy a meaningful look without leaving any trace, and then lowered her voice and said softly with a hint of ridicule: "They don't regard us as outsiders at all."
"We're just going to watch this?" After saying this, Chu Ci raised his eyebrows slightly, with a half-smile on his face, and looked at the purple-robed envoy leisurely, as if waiting for him to give a response.
Seeing this, the purple-robed envoy hurriedly said, "Princess Yixin is also half a royal family member. Why don't you go and mediate?"
The purple-robed envoy had just finished speaking.
The eldest prince and the fifth prince unexpectedly and tacitly fixed their gazes on Chu Ci at the same time.
The eldest prince said anxiously, "Princess Yixin, you tell me?"
Seeing this, the Fifth Prince immediately agreed, "Yes, Princess Yixin, you come and judge for sure."
Seeing this, Chu Ci couldn't help but secretly groan in his heart. Was he asking for trouble by being involved in this dispute between the brothers for no reason?
Chu Ci immediately forced out a very far-fetched fake smile, laughed dryly twice, and then waved his hands and said, "Oh, my two princes, you really flatter me too much."
"I only have a little bit of intelligence, but I really know nothing about politics!"
That look, as innocent as it could be.
Anyway, after seeing her like this, the King of Shu was completely deceived and hesitated for a moment: "This King will do his best to properly resolve the Su family within this year."
Although he didn't know why his father sent his eldest brother here, he still felt uneasy.
Therefore, when the Fifth Prince heard the assurance from the First Prince, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief;
Purple-robed Envoy: His brows furrowed even more tightly.
Only Chu Ci thought: The eldest prince is so easy to fool, no wonder he was always used by the second prince without knowing it in the original work.
Thinking of this, she looked at the eldest prince with a hint of sympathy in her eyes.
In fact, the prince who grew up in the palace has perfect abilities and intuition.
Chu Ci's strange behavior was soon noticed by the other party. "Princess Yi Xin, why are you looking at me like this?"
Chu Ci's heart skipped a beat at that moment, and she thought to herself that something was wrong.
Then, she quickly calmed herself down, forced a smile on her face, and responded as naturally as possible: "No, Your Highness the King of Shu, you must have misunderstood. I was looking at my Jingrui."
"Alas, he has only been back for a few days, why does he have to leave again? It really makes me sad to think about it."
After saying this, she deliberately acted melancholy, as if she was really sad about Jingrui's impending departure.
The eldest prince had a feeling that something was not right, but after thinking about it carefully, he could not find any other reasonable reason.
He looked back and forth at Chu Ci several times, but in the end found nothing.
Helplessly, he could only give up for the time being and suppress the slight doubt in his heart, but there was still a hint of doubt in his eyes.
So, Chu Ci was shocked again.
My heart, which had been a little distracted and relaxed, was like being poured with a basin of cold water at this moment. I instantly woke up and returned to my original track.
It is precisely because of this that those who were secretly planning to trap Chu Ci or directly planned a wave of assassinations.
After a series of actions including tracking and scouting, when all preparations were ready, it was discovered that the protection around Chu Ci suddenly became like an indestructible tortoise shell.
Of course, there were also those who did not believe in evil, but in the end, they all suffered the consequences without exception.
Especially those Tatars.
They took great pains and finally bribed several bosses on the route that Chu Ci had to pass every day.
They tried to set a trap through these people and prepare to completely eliminate this woman who had caused immeasurable losses to them, the Tatars.
They planned carefully and waited for the best time with great anticipation.
However, what they never expected was that just as they were about to take action, a group of people suddenly appeared and surrounded them in an instant, and then they were captured without any resistance.
He was caught so easily.
"The people of the Great Zhou are so despicable that they actually drugged us!" After being thrown into the death row, the leading Tatar spy had anger and unwillingness in his eyes, and he still shouted at the top of his lungs without giving up.
The eldest prince in charge of the interrogation was delighted when he heard this. "If I don't give you the drug, do I have to watch you harm the people of my Great Zhou?"
The spy headed by Tatar paused when he heard this, but still refused to give up. He stiffened his neck and said, "Humph, you mean things! If you have the guts, let's have a fair fight."
The eldest prince's eyes were sharp, and he saw through the other party's thoughts directly. There was a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth: "Humph, don't think that this prince can't see that you are saying this to escape. Let me tell you, it's impossible. Don't even think about it!"
Then he waved his hand at the prison and ordered, "From today on, cut off their food supply and only give them a bowl of water a day. This prince wants to see how long they can last without food."
After getting such a result, the Tatar spy cursed in his heart, damn it!
Which bastard son of a bitch spread the news that the King of Shu was the most reckless and could not stand provocation? It really killed us!
If I am lucky enough to come back alive this time, I will kill him with my own hands!
