Chapter 226 No Winner

It's confirmed, this is a wolf kill.

Chu Youning secretly gave Chu Zhaohua a thumbs up.

"Later, we became strangers. Not long after, the war between the nations broke out again. The main force of Yu Kingdom faced the two countries of Shengjing. Jia Lan took the opportunity to ask for my hand in marriage and even asked for the three cities of Jiaguan as my dowry.

And Jia Lan's betrothal gift was... a kind of smoke that could instantly render the enemy incapable of fighting, and a group of the finest war horses and elite soldiers.

I want to personally lead an army to destroy this small kingdom of Jialan that is taking advantage of our misfortune, but...all the civil and military officials in the court beg me to marry them. My royal brother and sister-in-law look at me, struggling but mostly begging.

They...all chose to sacrifice me."

Chu Zhaohua laughed at herself again and drank the Coke in her hand:

"I have been favored by the royal family since I was young, so I naturally know that I should contribute to the country. But a powerful country actually needs to sacrifice women to maintain its stability. Isn't this a joke? They are cowardly, and no one supports me to lead the army to destroy Jialan!"

"I don't like the idea of ​​big countries relying on marriage to stabilize diplomatic relations, but I know that this is a method that has been passed down since ancient times. If you ask me to marry into a big country, I will agree even if I am unwilling.

But... a small country that is only the size of the capital, what qualifications do they have to take advantage of the opportunity to ask me to marry you!"

It has come to this.

Chu Youning probably understood why Chu Zhaohua harbored hatred towards the royal family.

It is indeed... a joke that such a gorgeous princess would commit herself to a small country that needs to rely on the Kingdom of Yu for survival.

"What happened next?"

She thought about it and spoke out.

It seems that these grievances have been suppressed in Chu Zhaohua's heart for too long, so it would be good to vent them.

"Later... I spent those few years in Jialan living a life worse than death. I wanted to eat their flesh and drink their blood..."

"Until... the turmoil outside Yu State was quelled, and my good nephew Yu Jia personally led the army to destroy Jia Lan, that man... sacrificed his life to save me in a critical moment."

"Everyone thought he was the son of a traitor and that his motives for being close to me were not pure, but... he had privately negotiated a divorce with the woman on the day of their wedding. He... had been waiting for me his entire life, and in the end, he died for me.

And it was he who shot the arrow that killed my good nephew. The arrow pierced through his chest and King Jialan. But I would rather he had shot me instead!!!

After returning to the palace, they all pretended nothing had happened, held a celebration banquet, and hoped that I could return to the palace peacefully to be the noble eldest princess. But none of them had ever heard the palace maids and eunuchs' private ridicule, and none of them had ever thought that I could never go back!!!

I really want to end this by myself, but... his only wish before he died was that I live well, I dare not die!"

Chu Zhaohua's eyes were instantly filled with bloodshot, the murderous intent in his eyes could no longer be suppressed, and his whole body was filled with an... indescribable madness.

No one knew how she spent those years in Jialan. She was treated as an experimental subject, her body eaten by all kinds of poisonous insects every day. The Jialan royal family treated her like a delinquent and killed all her close associates. The once proud Princess of Zhen State, who served three kings, was reduced to humble status.

Chu Youning sighed helplessly upon seeing this.

While Chu Zhaohua was not paying attention, she moved the small electric baton in her hand closer to her. After shocking the person unconscious, she jumped out of Yan Gui Tower with the person in her arms. After giving a signal to the people who followed her, she quickly returned to the palace with the person in her arms.

At this time.

Although the palace banquet was still going on, Ye Tianque, who was called over by Qing Qianxue's arrangement, and Jiang Wanrong, who had been thinking, were both in a bad mood.

The eldest princess said she had poisoned everyone, but...

They carefully examined some of the people and found that all of them had healthy and strong pulses, with no signs of poisoning at all.

Luquan was the most timely in reporting back.

After hearing the news, the anxious Wu Qingyi and the Emperor and Empress immediately found an excuse and ran to Cining Palace.

When everyone arrived at the side hall, they saw Chu Youning put the person on her bed, carefully covered her with a quilt, and fed her a pill that could calm her nerves and help her sleep.

"Yu'er, Zhaohua didn't do anything to you, did he?"

The voice came in before Wu Qingyi arrived.

Chu Youning went out to greet them silently, looking at the group of people who were chasing after him nervously, with a complicated expression.

"Mother, my aunt just took me to Yan Gui Tower to get some fresh air. She was tired and fell asleep."

Upon hearing the words "Yan Gui Lou", Wu Qingyi and the Emperor and Empress were visibly stiffened again.

【Alas... there is no winner in this tragedy. 】

[Chu Zhaohua not only hates the royal family, but also hates herself. She is able to live to this day only because of her hatred for the royal family and because her lover begged her to live by exchanging his own life for hers.]

[Everyone’s tragedy is the unprovoked disaster brought about by war…]
