Hu Qi said excitedly, as though he was stepping on Lu Yin, and used all his strength to stomp on him.
Hearing that, Prince of the North Qiang was relieved. That’s good, both of them were injured, this was what he wanted to see happen.
Hu Qi sneaked a glance at him and knew he wouldn’t let the matter rest. He said furiously: "Bring the thief’s corpse up here and let the First Prince have a good look."
Right after he finished speaking, Lu Yin’s corpse was carried out, his body had already started to rot, releasing a disgusting stench.
Prince of the North Qiang almost vomited, he immediately pinched his nose, the smell was really suffocating, he braced himself and checked, the figure and face was indeed Lu Yin’s.
Seeing that, he was completely at ease, no longer suspecting the authenticity of the assassination attempt on the King of the South Yue.
"Carry him away!" Hu Qi waved his hands, and said impatiently. Seeing that the Prince of the North Qiang believed his words, his lips curled up slightly, revealing a pleased smile.
In truth, the corpse was not Lu Yin’s, but rather something that he found in the cells.
Prince of the North Qiang went forward to pay his respects to the spirit tablet of King of the South Yue. He knelt on the ground sincerely and prayed in his heart: King of the South Yue, this is a war between nations, your death is not my fault, it is your carelessness.
"It’s getting late. Crown Prince, I won’t disturb you. If you can’t revive after death, you better restrain your grief." Prince of the North Qiang patted Hu Qi’s shoulder and said while pretending to be sad.
After listening, Hu Qi nodded and said, "En, First Prince, I won’t send you out of the palace. There are many ghosts at night, so you should be careful."
Hu Qi spoke a little meaningfully, but Prince of the North Qiang was still immersed in the joy of King of the South Yue’s death, so he was unable to hear the ridicule in his words.
After leaving Hu Qi’s line of sight, the subordinate of Prince of the North Qiang saw that there was no one around, so he softly asked: "Prince, King of the South Yue is already dead. Since we’re also in the palace, why not make a move?"
His voice was soft, just loud enough for Prince of the North Qiang to hear. Prince of the North Qiang had this plan in mind, he raised the corner of his lips and did not reply.
"Prince, this subordinate checked earlier. The people in the palace aren’t on guard at all. If we were to make a move tonight, we would definitely be able to catch them off guard." They seemed eager to fight. Everyone wanted to fight here.
In their eyes, other than the people from North Qiang, the people from the other nations were just trash.
"Let’s start from the palace gates and charge in from the outside." Prince of the North Qiang chuckled. He had observed before, only the guards at the palace gates were a little more, there were only a few of them in other places.
As long as he could settle the guards at the entrance, the palace where he obtained South Yue would not be a problem. Once he sat on the throne of an emperor, he would be the ruler of the entire South Yue.
"Move!" As soon as he arrived at the palace gates, the Prince of the North Qiang couldn’t wait to give out his orders.
At this time, Hu Qi was kneeling in the great hall, and beside him was King of the South Yue, who was sleeping inside a coffin.
"Royal Father, he left. He should be back soon." Hu Qi said softly, afraid that he would alarm the people outside.
After he finished listening, a disdainful laugh came out from the coffin. He said with disdain, "Heh, I would like to see how capable people from North Qiang are, to dare take sole possession of our South Yue."
"Royal Father, I have a candidate for the princess consort." Hu Qi lowered his head, and didn’t dare look in the direction of the coffin. Two days ago, the King of the South Yue had intentionally mentioned a marriage to him.
He did not tell King of the South Yue about Ling Hua. Although King of the South Yue knew that his son was crying because of a woman, he did not know that the person was Ling Hua, and even more so did not know that Hu Qi was serious.
Hearing his son’s words, King of the South Yue trembled. Was there a candidate for the crown prince’s consort? Then wasn’t he worrying for nothing a few days ago?
However, he hadn’t heard the crown prince say that he had someone he liked.
Strange, if a would-be princess consort suddenly appeared, if he didn’t arrange a marriage for the crown prince, wouldn’t he have to keep it a secret?
Thinking up to here, the King of the South Yue snorted coldly and asked: "Whose lady is it, why have I never heard you mention it before?"
King of the South Yue’s coffin had small holes on it, so he could clearly see the change in Hu Qi’s face.
When he heard the emperor say "whose girl it was," his face turned red and he stammered, "Royal Father, you should have seen her before.
He did not say who the other party was, afraid that the King of the South Yue would not accept Ling Hua’s identity. Furthermore, Ling Hua did not say anything, so it would be hard for him to say it.
"You can consider the marriage arrangements that I made for you two days ago." King of the South Yue’s voice rang out once again. He still hoped that his son would be able to walk on the path that he had arranged for himself.
"No, Royal Father, I can’t wrong her. The one to be chosen for the princess consort can only be a woman that this son has his eyes on." Hu Qi did not give in on this matter. He thought that he definitely could not let Ling Hua down.
At this time, Hu Xiao was standing outside the door and watching the father and son pair conversing, the corners of her mouth slightly curled up. She felt that the conversation between King of the South Yue and Hu Qi was very funny.
"It’s rare for Royal Brother and Qi’er to be like this. It’s all thanks to Prince of the North Qiang that they were able to sit down and talk properly." Although she and King of the South Yue had a fight, she still hoped that King of the South Yue would be in a good mood.
But at this time, the sound of footsteps came from not far away, accompanied by the sound of fighting. Hu Xiao’s eyes flashed with a deep meaning, she knew that Prince of the North Qiang had returned.
She immediately hid in the darkness, with Ling Hua standing beside her, and the two coldly looked at the imposing Prince of the North Qiang.
"Let’s see how long you can be so arrogant for!" Hu Xiao secretly said in her heart as she curled the corner of her lips.
When he arrived at the great hall, he was shocked at the impotence of his South Yue. If he had known earlier, it would be so easy to take down the South Yue, he would have brought people to attack long ago.
The guards in the palace were pitifully few in number, and the only part that could resist their attacks no longer. At this moment, the Prince of the North Qiang did not place anyone in his eyes.
The South Yue was easily obtainable, and was already his.
"A waste of South Yue, haha, as expected, it can’t compare with the vigor of our North Qiang." Prince of the North Qiang laughed out loud, when he was at the entrance of the hall, he saw Hu Qi kneeling on the ground.
"First Prince, why are you back?" Hu Qi’s eyes widened as he asked in shock.
Seeing his shocked expression, Prince of the North Qiang’s laughter became even more unrestrained. The foolish crown prince only knew to cry in front of a woman, not having any real ability at all.
If he were to be the ruler of this country, he would definitely be able to create a nation with South Yue as strong as it was.
Thinking about it, the Prince of the North Qiang smiled proudly, "What, you don’t welcome this prince?"
Prince of the North Qiang walked in with his hands behind his back. His gaze stopped at the coffin that was lying on King of the South Yue and instantly, a smile appeared on his face.
