Chapter 673:

The Vile Second Prince

The story will be unraveled in two parts, so let us delve into them, one by one...

When the sky was completely dark, Ling Chuxi arrived at the capital. The matters of the war were critical, so the city gates had long been shut. Only a troop of soldiers were patrolling the area, looking around worriedly.

Ling Chuxi channeled energy into her feet and jumped, leaping across the city like a feather, her speed so fast that she was practically a blur. A wall, to Ling Chuxi, was nothing to be concerned about.

After entering the city, Ling Chuxi immediately rushed towards the imperial palace. As she passed by Mo Kongyuan’s residence, she used the Mind Training Chant to scan the area, and found that the yard was completely empty. Even the butler and servants were gone, and were presumably by Mister Mo’s side, serving him.

But where would Mo Kongyuan himself be? Ling Chuxi decided to try the imperial palace.

Without much effort, Ling Chuxi entered the palace. There were too many people in the palace, so Ling Chuxi couldn’t be bothered to use her Mind Training Chant, and just went to the fifth princess’ chambers directly.

The palace was still as majestic and solemn as before, but, there was also a heavy, almost suppressive aura present now.

In the elegant, chilly garden, the fifth princess was looking at the second prince with a cold and detached expression.

“You’re back,” the fifth princess remarked in disgust.

“Fifth Younger Sister, have you given any thought to the matter I mentioned last time?” The second prince asked playfully, his gaze traveling over the fifth princess’ body.

“If you still want me to call you ‘Second Elder Brother’, don’t ever bring up such a vulgar thing in my presence again,” the fifth princess hissed.

“Fifth Younger Sister, marriage within the imperial family is a common tradition in many countries, and it’s also the best way to maintain the purity of our imperial bloodlines. Why do you think it so terrible? All these years, could it be that you still can’t tell my intentions towards you? Do you feel that I am still unworthy of you?” The fifth princess might still be a little immature, but her figure was becoming more womanly, and the second prince’s eyes smoldered when he noticed it.

“To think that you are the prince of a country, Fu Chengxing! Imperial Father has just passed on, and our country is about to be ruined, but you can actually still think about such foul things! How will you live up to Imperial Father’s teachings?! How can you live up to the greatness of our Fu family’s ancestors?!” Feeling Fu Chengxing’s lecherous gaze on her, the fifth princess shifted uncomfortably. Though she was scolding him, she couldn’t help but feel sad.

Was this really her own second elder brother? Imperial Father had passed away less than a month ago and he had already come running to her doorstep, trying to force her hand in marriage. Maintaining the pure bloodline of the imperial family? To think that he could even say such a ridiculous thing! Although she knew that Fu Chengxing was arrogant, wasteful, and improper, she never would have thought that he was actually this perverted.

Although the royalty of some countries had indeed married within the family for the sake of maintaining the purity of the royal family bloodlines, the fifth princess never thought that something like this might happen to her. Had he never considered that she was still his biological sister, even though they had different mothers?

“Hmph, it is because my Nan Xia Country is about to cease being a country, that I am giving you this chance. As long as you agree to my conditions, I will give you all my resources to help put up a resistance against the great army of Ding Lin Country. I’m sure you’re aware that the court officials are panicked and aimless, and the other princes are also scheming. How can you and Fu Chengyu gain the trust of all the officials by yourselves? Do you think that your little duo can command a crowd of officials, and withstand the great army of Ding Ling Country?

“If you ally with me, added on with the might of Old Ninth, which of the other princes would not yield? Which of the many officials and army generals would dare to resist or betray you?” Fu Chengxing boasted, his eyes gleaming.
