Chapter 883: Chapter 554: Enchanting
“Do not resent, do not attack, do not refute… Put on a look as if you are thinking of your father.”
“By doing so, it’ll make those foolish people think the King was forced to say those things… After all, it is true he’s imprisoned by bandits in the Old Lands.”
“For survival, people can do anything. What does Your Highness think?”
“Will it work? What if they make father issue a statent saying he wasn’t under any duress, and it was entirely his own action… Then what?”
Zhong Tianque furrowed his brows, though he committed murder, arson, and usurpation…
Subconsciously, he was unwilling to engage in a verbal battle with his father.
Firstly, it seed too undignified, his father was a monarch, ruling for decades with majesty and solemnity.
And he himself was the Zhong Royal Family’s officially grood Crown Prince, cultivated for years, enjoying so reputation.
For father and son to quarrel like fishwives, what does that look like?
The Zhong Royal Family’s face would be utterly lost.
There’s also a deeply hidden factor, since young, he regarded his father as a role model, learning governance by his father’s side all these years, aspiring to be a monarch like him.
His father was both his idol and the goal he wanted to surpass…
Along with accumulated fear over years.
If it were in the past, just a rebuke from his father would make him reflect for three days, pondering what he had done wrong recently.
Now circumstances are different, but arguing with his father still makes him feel guilty…
“What’s the big deal?” Sun Shehu’s smile remained unchanged, but the light in his eyes turned colder.
Have they been respecting him too much lately, making him forget his true identity and situation?
“We just need to provide different voices and problem-solving angles, muddying the waters, so will believe he’s under duress, others willing to believe he’s speaking freely… By then, both sides will be arguing non-stop.”
“As long as they argue, both parties will focus on how to win the argunt… As for the truth, it won’t be that important.”
“…”
Zhong Tianque felt an unspeakable sorrow.
Most of the ti, the people are induced, are blinded.
You can think one layer or two…
But the designers stand in the stratosphere.
What you see and think are what they let you see and think.
Hmm, the people are just one part of the PLAY.
Zhong Tianque was neither unfamiliar nor averse to this behavior.
Born into the Royal Family, being the Crown Prince, he had done or instructed such things many tis.
What he couldn’t accept was that he too had beco… a part.
Seeing Zhong Tianque silent, Sun Shehu chuckled and asked, “Is everything okay on your end, Your Highness?”
“No problem.” Dongguo Chenxi sensed the coldness in Sun Shehu’s eyes, quickly picking up the teapot to pour tea for him, “Such a small matter, how could there be a problem? We guarantee to complete the task.”
After pausing, he spoke again, “However, it would be best to trouble Mr. Sun for a draft. You know, my husband and I aren’t great at talking, if we say sothing wrong or use inappropriate words… wouldn’t that hinder Mr. Sun’s proper affairs?”
“I’ll send it over later,” Sun Shihu took a sip of chrysanthemum tea, glanced at Zhong Tianque, “I’ll also prepare the eting arrangents and dia invitations for Your Highness. You only need to appear at the venue on ti.”
“Mr. Sun is really too considerate,” Dongguo Chenxi praised with a bright smile, looking genuinely grateful.
“You’re too kind. I eat of the lord’s wealth, and share the lord’s worries. I’m just fulfilling my duty as a minister,” Sun Shehu said calmly.
Zhong Tianque was inwardly furious.
He knew the ‘lord’ Sun Shehu referred to was Shen Wuxiang.
The Zhong Family is the true master of this country; these base servants eat and use everything bestowed by the Zhong Family…
To whom does your loyalty belong?
When Sun Shehu left, Dongguo Chenxi’s smile gradually faded.
She looked at Zhong Tianque and reminded, “Life is like being raped, since you can’t resist, you might as well lie down and enjoy it.”
“Is that so?” Zhong Tianque replied with a cynical tone and a grim expression, “Is that how you treat Shen Leyou? How does it taste? Pretty good, huh?”
“What good does saying this do?” Dongguo Chenxi sat upright, her expression composed, bearing graceful and refined, her swan neck long like bamboo, spine straight, the tight high-neck sweater perfectly outlining her figure, “You have a fire inside and don’t dare vent it on them? So you vent it on ?”
Zhong Tianque instantly crumbled.
Dongguo Chenxi’s words struck directly at his hidden malice and toxicity.
Indeed, he dared not vent his anger on Sun Shehu because he still lacked the courage to defy Shen Wuxiang…
Thinking of this, he felt a bit envious of Tang Fei and Phoenix.
At least they made Shen Wuxiang stressed and overwheld…
If they manage to succeed, where would he go then?
Phoenix… Well, he just stood up and declared her rebellion, severing sibling ties, by then, she has no standing to do anything for him, right?
With this thought, his interest waned.
“Sorry.” Zhong Tianque said lifelessly.
Dongguo Chenxi picked up the bone china teacup with sunflower patterns in front of her, drank the cold tea inside in one gulp, feeling the fire in her heart subside sowhat, then looked coldly at Zhong Tianque, “You should know, in this world, only the two of us are as one…”
