Chapter 203: Honest and Trustworthy
our brother's voice. I would purposely hide so you couldn't find me, and after shaking you off, I'd let you cry and wail while I laughed my head off. All I felt was that it was amusing to make you cr...Chapter 203: Honest to Both Children and Adults
At this moment, the carriage has already begun to move forward.
The slightly swaying carriage gave both Li Chen and Jin Xueyuan inside a strong sensory experience.
Seeing Li Chen's hands and feet start to get restless, Jin Xueyuan was furious and ashamed. She grabbed Li Chen's hand and said, "No!"
Both his gaze and tone were far more intense than any previous rejection, incredibly harsh and resolute.
"Why" Li Chen asked.
I just think this person, whether he was that scoundrel before or now the prince of Qin, is so shameless.
To even ask why
What else could possibly explain this!
"You are the prince of the Qin Empire, and I am a princess from the Xian Dynasty. Absolutely, absolutely not! Once this gets out, it will cause a major scandal!" Jin Xueyuan said.
Li Chen chuckled and asked, "Why did this get spread around"
Jin Xueyuan was taken aback, and for a moment she felt speechless.
"There's no such thing as a wall that can keep secrets forever... I let it slide before, but now that I know who you are, there's absolutely no way to hide it. Secrets always come out eventually."
Li Chen directly interrupted Jin Xueyuan's words and said, "I am the Crown Prince of the Qin Dynasty, and you are the Princess of the Xian Dynasty. So who dares to gossip about us If we find one, we will kill him. It's true that there is no wall in this world that can keep secrets, but if we tear down the wall, then it doesn't matter whether it's windy or not."
This was Jin Xueyuan's first time hearing something so bizarre yet strangely reasonable.
But this doesn't mean she will surrender.
In short, it just won't work!
Jin Xueyuan bit her lip and said firmly, “I won't be as foolish as before. Don't think you can always get your way!”
And Jin Xueyuan's rejection, instead of disheartening Li Chen, only fanned the flames of his desire to conquer even higher.
He leaned down to Jin Xueyuan's ear and chuckled softly, "Don't even think about it"
"The imperial edict for deployment hasn't been issued, and deliberations with the cabinet haven't even begun. This palace can revoke it at any time and leave you all stranded in the capital. As for the fate of the Xian dynasty, who cares"
"Are you sure, Your Highness I'm not trying to defy you"
Every word Li Chen spoke seemed like a demon's whisper, causing Jin Xueyuan's body to tremble.
She looked at Li Chen in disbelief and said, “You… you are despicable!”
Jin Xueyuan felt like a lamb that had already stepped into quicksand. She wanted to turn back, but it was too late. Worse yet, Li Chen, this devil, was still pulling her deeper and deeper into the abyss.
With a light chuckle, Li Chen raised his hand to fold it together. He said, "This palace has never claimed to be a good person."
Perhaps you hate me now, perhaps you wish to kill me right this instant, but it matters not.
Li Chen's lips curled up as he said, "Speaking of which, you're not at a loss. Don't you think those people in the cabinet are so easy to persuade Let's put aside what happened in Xian Chao for now. Once we start a war, almost the entire Qin state's operating system will be involved. The energy and manpower required would be astronomical. Let's just talk about your biggest advantage, the Taizu Treasure. Do you think those people in the cabinet would let me get my hands on it with satisfaction"
"You only know that I send troops, but you don't know what price I pay for nodding my head. Collecting a little interest from you is also part of the transaction.
