The Princess of Northern Land

Chapter 857: Chapter 857: Revenge (7) Chapter 857: Chapter 857: Revenge (7) Most of the speakers were of the Crown Prince’s faction, and the officials supporting him, seeing his indifference, also held their silence.

“Crown Prince Chu, what do you think of this matter?” the emperor asked with a gloomy face.

The Crown Prince sneered inwardly. He took the initiative to advise and whether the emperor liked it or not, he would not hold a grudge against him. But if Crown Prince Chu did not answer well, well…

“Replying to Father Emperor, your son thinks this matter should be carefully considered.” As expected, once Crown Prince Chu’s words were spoken, the emperor’s expression grew even worse.

“Your son believes this matter is double-sided. The previous emperor decreed that King Ling could decide on his own marriage. Whether Princess Consort Ling is good or not, it is his choice. Furthermore, your son has heard that she was abducted by North Country people because she possessed unique skills. A capable person always has a bit of pride. If Princess Consort Ling were truly impure, your son believes King Ling would never tolerate it, and Princess Consort Ling would have no face to return to Northern Land. The fact that King Ling has sent petitions and letters shows his sincerity and shows no disrespect to the emperor. However, secondly, he is not entirely without fault. All young ladies of the noble houses are reputable, and King Ling’s neglect towards them is somewhat inappropriate. Please, Father Emperor, consider this,” Crown Prince Chu proved to be quite cunning.

The Crown Prince was livid with rage; the good and the bad were all articulated by him, yet it amounted to nothing.
