Chapter 802 - 807, 808: Princess Deti: You Are the King Wei of the Great Song_2
"Commandery Princess, what’s wrong?" Lin Xuelan patted Princess Deti’s back with concern."Beast." Princess Deti cursed coldly, "He’s just a beast, there’s nothing he wouldn’t do. It was he who killed my mother..."
As she spoke, Princess Deti’s heart suddenly ached, but her pride didn’t allow her to cry in front of Lin Xuelan.
After calming down for a while, she started asking about Young Master Mo and expressed concern that rescuing her might implicate him.
"Commandery Princess, you need not worry, the Third Prince is in Young Master Mo’s hands," Lin Xuelan said.
Learning that "Ink Language" also took the Third Prince, Princess Deti was stunned.
Ah.
Could it be?
This... this is too fierce.
Your Majesty, bedridden with an illness, leaves the Yelang Kingdom under the Third Prince’s control for now.
The Third Prince is surrounded by numerous experts, and his mansion is heavily guarded.
Yet "Ink Language" managed to take the Third Prince from his mansion — what kind of power does it take to accomplish this?
When she inquired about who exactly "Ink Language" was.
Lin Xuelan’s expression dimmed: "Actually, I am not quite sure either."
However, her expression quickly brightened again, saying, "But I know that Young Master Mo is a good man."
Princess Deti didn’t speak immediately. After a moment, she said, "Miss Lin, could you arrange for me to speak with him privately?"
...
When Chen Mo entered the room, Princess Deti’s eyes showed a hint of gratitude. She inclined slightly towards Chen Mo in salute from her bed.
But she forgot she wasn’t wearing anything. This gesture exposed large expanses of her fair skin, the already well-developed white mounds quivering slightly in front of Chen Mo.
Chen Mo conscientiously averted his gaze.
Princess Deti quickly pulled the covers tight, her autumn-like eyes full of panic, her face faintly flushed. Looking at the handsome young man, she took a deep breath, pretending to be calm as she said, "Thank you, Young Master Mo, for saving me."
Chen Mo found a stool to sit on, joking lightly, "It was a little effort on my part. I just happened to have business with the Third Prince. Commandery Princess need not worry about it."
Princess Deti shook her head, smiling slightly, "If I’m not mistaken, Young Master Mo, it was you who appeared in my room last time to warn me, right?"
Chen Mo nodded.
"Young Master Mo has helped me twice now." Princess Deti’s expression turned desolate as she spoke. Even though she had been wary of the Third Prince since then, she still fell for his trap.
But she couldn’t help it. Although she had suspected that the invitation from the Third Prince in the Empress’s name was not simple, she couldn’t refuse. She couldn’t afford to offend his power in Yelang.
If not for the slight restraint on the part of the Third Prince, also wanting to maintain appearances, he would have already taken her by force, and she’d be unable to resist given her strength.
"I was asked to help." Chen Mo explained.
"Young Master Mo, you held the Third Prince to save the Lin Family, right?" Princess Deti’s voice was cold.
Chen Mo nodded.
Princess Deti looked at Chen Mo’s handsome face, trying to discern something from his eyes, but his gaze was calm. She couldn’t get any useful information. She said solemnly:
"Even if you did save the Lin Family by holding the Third Prince, have you thought about how to leave Yelang? Given the Third Prince’s nature, he’ll certainly retaliate against you.
You might say you could take the Third Prince and leave Yelang, and release him upon leaving. But the Grand General will definitely try to stop you. No one can guarantee that you will release the Third Prince after you leave Yelang.
Even if, with your strength, you can leave Yelang, what about the Lin Family? With so many people, you cannot possibly take care of each member of the Lin Family, Young Master Mo."
As Chen Mo pondered carefully, although he had a solution in mind, he still wanted to hear Princess Deti’s opinion. He chuckled and said, "From what you’re saying, Commandery Princess, do you have a plan?"
"Kill him." Princess Deti said icily.
"Is the Commandery Princess joking? Killing the Third Prince would only make the Grand General less likely to let me go. He is the Third Prince’s uncle, and should the Third Prince inherit the throne, the Grand General’s status would rise; by both feeling and reason, he would not release his hold on me."
Chen Mo smiled slightly, "Or perhaps, Commandery Princess, you wish to use my hand for revenge for your mother. After all, as long as the Third Prince lives, you can never avenge, and as long as you remain in Yelang, you’ll eventually fall prey to him once again."
Princess Deti didn’t deny this point; she indeed wanted the Third Prince dead.
Princess Deti smiled slightly, "Young Master Mo, hear me out. Kill him, and the Court will be leaderless, inevitably plunging into a power struggle. While the Grand General wouldn’t let you go, I know he will join the struggle for power, as maintaining his influence is more important than avenging the Third Prince.
Given Young Master Mo’s capabilities, if you follow my lead and back the side opposing the Grand General when the time comes, even if you don’t leave Yelang, you can still live without worry."
"Clap, clap." Hearing this, Chen Mo applauded directly, laughing, "Commandery Princess, you play a fine game of chess, wanting not only to use my hand to kill the Third Prince but also make me your tool. Let me guess, who do you think would most likely take power after the Third Prince’s death, and where do you plan to place your loyalties?"
Princess Deti wasn’t surprised that Chen Mo saw through her thoughts, nor did she intend to hide them. Serenely she replied, "Do you have a better idea, Young Master Mo?"
"Your plan isn’t bad, but it’s too troublesome, and who knows how long it would take. My way is much faster." Chen Mo said.
Princess Deti froze, listening intently.
"The Commandery Princess says I’m strong, but does the Commandery Princess know exactly how strong I am?" Chen Mo laughed.
Hearing this, Princess Deti’s face changed slightly, sarcastically saying, "No matter how strong, Young Master Mo, you’re so young. You can’t already be an Upper Third-Grade Martial Artist, can you? Even if you’re an Upper Third-Grade Martial Artist, dealing with one or two people might suffice, but can you protect the entire Lin Family?"
Chen Mo smiled slightly, "Commandery Princess, when I say strength, I don’t just mean personal strength."
"???"
"I also have an army."
Nalan Yiren’s murder had been avenged, so Chen Mo saw no need to hide his identity any longer.
As soon as he reveals his identity, the Third Prince will not dare act rashly.
A small country with not even an Upper-Grade Martial Artist and a total military strength of less than thirty thousand is not something Chen Mo cared about.
Hearing this, Princess Deti’s expression shook, recalling what Lin Xuelan had said before about "Ink Language" fleeing from the Great Song, combining it with his current tone. So young, she quivered, "Are you... King Wei of the Great Song?"
Chen Mo did not deny, "Does the Commandery Princess still think I can’t protect the Lin Family now?"
Upon hearing this, Princess Deti’s smile turned bitter.
To Yelang, the Great Song is a giant.
The former Emperor was so accomplished, only to be broken by the Qiang Race of Xiliang when he merely infringed upon the Great Song’s Xiliang.
King Wei, as the Great Song’s current ruler, isn’t he much stronger than Xiliang?
Knowing his identity, the Third Prince would probably be terrified enough to wet himself, let alone dare seek revenge.
As for silencing him?
You can try.
If they fail to stop Chen Mo, once he returns to the Great Song, the disaster awaiting Yelang would be cataclysmic.
And with Chen Mo’s capabilities, the chance of failing to stop him is indeed high.
"Miss Lin is truly blessed." Princess Deti remarked bitterly.
If things are as Chen Mo says, then the only one left to suffer would be her.
Seeing her bitter expression, Chen Mo could roughly guess her thoughts, and he sighed, "There is actually another way."
Commandery Princess Deti: "???"
"What if His Majesty regains control of the court?" Chen Mo proposed.
