Chapter 263: Poison Wine and Hanging Rope

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Tang Jinghong felt that it was a pity. After tracking for so long, it was futile in the end. “Did you set us up today?”

The Princess Consort said hatefully, “1 did. It was a flawless plan, but I didn’t expect you to manage to escape.”

“Just a reminder.” Tang Jinghong was unhappy and deliberately said it to anger the Princess Consort. “The water outlet is too big.”

Princess Consort was speechless.

A moment later, Tang Jinghong changed the topic. “Princess Consort, do you have any last words?”

The Princess Consort turned pale and roared, “What do you mean? 1 am the Princess Consort of the Lord of the Northern Border. How dare you kill me?”

Tang Jinghong’s expression turned extremely cold, and his voice was like a blade. “As the Princess Consort of the Northern Border, not only did you fail to perform your duties but you also abused your power and harmed the people. You deserve to die!”

The Princess Consort’s face turned pale!

Tang Jinghong’s voice lowered slightly, but his tone was very firm. “Princess Consort, for the sake of your dignity and the dignity of the royal family, please end your own life.”

He turned to Tong Yujie and said, “Prepare the poison wine and the hanging rope.”

Tong Yujie cupped his hands and left silently.

The Princess Consort looked at Tang Jinghong in a daze. Her eyes slowly dimmed. She closed her eyes and asked as if she had accepted reality, “Who are you?”

Tang Jinghong said word by word, “Tang Jinghong!”

The Princess Consort suddenly widened her eyes in shock. Her expression turned as ugly as a corpse’s, and she completely gave up on the idea of begging for mercy. As the youngest general the Daling Dynasty had ever seen, Tang Jinghong hated it the most when people abused their power. If he found out, he wouldn’t hesitate to be ruthless.

Tong Yujie brought back the poison wine and the hanging rope. “Princess Consort, please.”

Princess Consort took a deep breath and said calmly, “Put me down.”

Chu Qingzhi waved her hand and the Princess Consort landed safely on the ground.

Princess Consort looked at the things on the tray and hesitated for a moment. She took the rope and threw it on the thick branch. She tied a knot and looked at it in a daze, tears flowing down her eyes.

“Husband, I’m leaving first!”

The Princess Consort tidied up her clothes and hair and hung herself to death with a peaceful expression on her face.

Tang Jinghong was hesitating whether he should tell the Princess Consort that the current Lord of the Northern Border was a fake, but in the end, he chose not to. This was too cruel for a woman.

“Jinghong, she is dead. Let’s go.”

“Okay.”

Someone would discover the corpse tomorrow morning, so there was no need for them to bury her.

An Huai Kingdom.

In the gorgeous palace, on a low couch, the queen of the An Huai Kingdom, who was wearing glittering palace clothes, was anxiously reading a letter.

A palace maid stood beside her. When she saw that the gloomy face of the queen had finally brightened up, she could not help but ask, “Your Majesty, is it a letter from the princess?”

There were tears in the queen’s eyes. “It’s a letter from Yun Hua. She has finally written a letter back.”

She quickly read it and asked, “Did Tang Jinghong’s secret guard send this letter?”

The palace maid nodded and replied, “Yes, Your Majesty.”

The queen’s face was filled with worry. “If she is with Tang Jinghong, I’m not worried about her safety.”

The palace maid asked tentatively, “Should we send someone to bring the princess back?”

“No.” The queen wiped her tears and immediately regained the front of a tough woman. Her gaze was sharp. “Taking her back just to let her be used as a bargaining chip again?”

The palace maid asked hesitantly, “Then what should we do?”

The queen’s mind raced…

Yun Hua was with Tang Jinghong, so there was no need to worry about her safety. Now that Tang Jinghong was in the northern border, he would definitely do everything he could to hinder the Lord of the Northern Border’s plan.

The letter said that the Lord of the Northern Border was currently mobilizing troops and was preparing to join forces with the An Huai Kingdom to attack the Daling Dynasty. Yun Hua, most likely instructed by Tang Jinghong, asked her to stop the king from sending troops. It was both a negotiation and a threat.

The queen only had one daughter. For the sake of her daughter’s safety, she would not let the king send troops.

Besides, Tang Jinghong was a famous general with peerless talents. If the Lord of the Northern Border fought him, it was hard to say who would win. There was no need to put An Huai Kingdom in danger.

“Let Yun Hua stay in Daling Dynasty. 1 heard that Tang Jinghong hasn’t married yet. If Yun Hua can marry Tang Jinghong…”

“Although Tang Jinghong is powerful, he is the Daling Dynasty’s general after all. If the princess marries him, I’m afraid it will be very difficult for her to return to the An Huai Kingdom in the future.”

“I only want her to be happy, free, and safe. Everything else is secondary.”

On the surface, she and the king respected each other, but in fact, they had been secretly dealing with each other. If Yun Hua returned, she would definitely be used as a weapon against her again. Yun Hua was her soft spot. If Yun Hua married Tang Jinghong, she would not have to worry about Yun Hua’s safety at all.

In fact, if not for her interference, how could a defenseless princess escape?

However, Yun Hua’s luck was not bad. She actually met Tang Jinghong. This must be predestined.

The palace maid did not say anything else.

The queen stood up and wrote a reply to Yun Hua. Then, she asked her subordinate to pass it to Tang Jinghong’s secret guard. Then, she went to the palace hall where the king handled the state affairs.

The king of An Huai Kingdom was also reading a letter sent back by Yun Hua. The more he read, the darker his expression became.

The Lord of the Northern Border was actually a fake, and he was even a member of the royal family of the previous dynasty!

After being angry for a while, he suddenly calmed down as he realized a problem. How did Yun Hua know about such a secret? Could she have lied to him?

“Her Majesty has arrived!” The sound of an eunuch suddenly sounded in the hall.

The king immediately adjusted his emotions and calmed down, not letting his expression betray his thoughts.

The queen walked into the hall dignifiedly and bowed. “Greetings, Your Majesty.”

The king cast a cursory glance at the queen and said with obvious annoyance, “There’s no need for formalities.”

Then, he dismissed the people around him. Recalling the letter he had just read, he secretly guessed that the queen was most likely here for the matter of sending troops. He wanted to see what this woman in front of him had to say!

There were no outsiders in the hall, so the queen stopped pretending. She sat on the chair and said, “I don’t agree with you sending troops to help the Lord of the Northern Border.”

The king’s expression changed. “What right do you have to disagree?”

“Because I’m the queen!” The queen’s tone was threatening. “You set up my daughter. Now that Yun Hua is not in An Huai Kingdom, nothing can hold me back. If you dare to send troops, I’m afraid there will be someone else sitting under that seat.”

The king’s expression darkened, and his eyes were filled with killing intent. “Do you really think I can’t do anything to you?”

The queen stared straight into the king’s eyes. “You can kill me, but 1’11 make sure you die with me. By the way, 1 came to tell you good news.”

When she saw the king’s ugly expression, she felt satisfied. “After Yun Hua escaped from the marriage, she met Tang Jinghong.”

The king’s ferocious anger instantly dissipated. Tang Jinghong? How did Yun Hua end up with Tang Jinghong?

As the divine general of the Daling Dynasty, he was invincible and made the surrounding vassal kingdoms tremble in fear. The king of An Huai Kingdom was like a paper tiger.. How could a paper tiger not be afraid when it encountered a real tiger?
