Chapter 1415: 1414 curiosity attack
Tan Rou’s mind imdiately conjured a grand drama. The King had done sothing he shouldn’t have, sothing he couldn’t let others discover. But the Prince found out about it and used the information to threaten the King. The King didn’t want to compromise, yet he couldn’t ignore the Prince either, which led to the current situation.
“You’ve almost told everything about Prince Busodi and the King’s issue, now tell about that young Queen’s story,” Tan Rou urged, “She mustn’t be the Prince’s first wife, right?”
Lin Yu was well-versed in the J Kingdom’s royal family’s internal stories, and he briefly introduced the story of Prince Busodi and the current Queen.
It turned out Prince Busodi had previously had three Queens; his first wife died shortly after their marriage due to illness, the second Queen died in childbirth, leaving behind a daughter, and the third Queen lived with the Prince for so years without having children and died mysteriously in the end.
It was said within the country that Prince Busodi was cursed with bad luck in wives, and no one wanted to marry him. It was not until a ball, that Prince Busodi t the young Monica, they fell in love at first sight and then got married.
A year later, Monica bore Prince Busodi a pair of twin sons and afterward, she beca even more favored by the Prince. He was like a man under her spell, doing whatever she said.
To maintain the favor of this domineering and arrogant Queen, Prince Busodi often disagreed with the King, leading many to speculate that Prince Busodi planned to replace the King.
Although he hadn’t made a move yet, his indulgence of the Queen’s behavior showed little respect for the King.
“Everyone wants their own son to beco the King. The current King thinks so, and Prince Busodi thinks so too,” Lin Yu said, “You’ll see, Prince Busodi will stage a coup sooner or later.”
Tan Rou’s curiosity was piqued by Lin Yu, “What secret does the King have that is held in Prince Busodi’s grip?”
“Who knows?” Lin Yu said, “If you’re interested, you could look into it.”
Tan Rou really wanted to investigate, but now wasn’t the right ti. She would ask around after finishing her business.
There were many routes to the party venue, but the one Tan Rou and her company were on was the shortest, so it was the path most people took. Tan Rou had been leading the way, but as she slowed down to talk to Lin Yu, they were caught up by Queen Monica.
Queen Monica still had that angry expression, but this ti she didn’t dare to trouble Tan Rou, instead, she quickened her pace to pass ahead of them.
Watching her back, Tan Rou asked with a laugh, “Hey, do you think she can write poetry?”
“Of course not!” Lin Yu gave her a definitive answer, “Everyone in J country knows that Queen Monica is illiterate, soone who can’t even distinguish A from B from C from D, so do you think she could write poetry?”
“Illiterate?” Tan Rou wondered aloud, “She doesn’t seem very bright, but she can’t be that incapable of distinguishing A, B, C, D, right?”
Lin Yu’s previous statent was an exaggeration, so he adjusted his wording, “It’s not that she can’t recognize A, B, C, D, but she never graduated high school, so the people of J country mock her privately as being illiterate.”
“How could Prince Busodi choose soone like her to be a Queen?” Tan Rou really couldn’t understand, “Just because she is pretty?”
“Let tell you sothing interesting,” Lin Yu whispered, “Queen Monica cos from a very ordinary background, both her parents were factory workers at a yarn mill, and by all logic, she shouldn’t have been able to enter an exclusive ball. However, on that day, she t Prince Busodi at a noble ball.”
“Heh, this story gets even more interesting,” Tan Rou said, rubbing her chin, “Before I go back, I want to know more interesting things. If Mr. Lin has any news, rember to tell . As for the reward…”
She smiled, “Isn’t Mr. Lin looking to collaborate? I can agree to do business with Prince Laka, provided that Prince Laka can beco King. Then I can represent my company to sign a permanent contract. As long as TR exists, then TR will always do business with Prince Laka.”
