262 The Reason of Coming
Prince You Residence
Prince You looked towards the person in front of him with questioning eyes. He was sure that he already gave all the information about Kai Kingdom to the other person just the day before. Why did she suddenly return back?
"I didn't come because your information is lacking, " Jun Hua could guess what this prince was thinking from his expression. After resting for a night, she decided to meet with this prince once again to clarify something.
"What did you want to know, Little boy?" Prince You asked as he poured wine for him.
Jun Hua eyes locked into the wine for a moment before she retracted her gaze once more."You tell me that there is a group of people whom you meet before. Do they come from Ming Kingdom?"
Prince You movement stopped for a moment. Jun Hua's guess was spot on, there was indeed a group of people coming from the Ming Kingdom to this place, but their coming was not really hidden because they didn't come covertly.
"Yes, it's true."
"They are Prince Nanglong Soujin and his friend?" Jun Hua only knew that Soujin was here, but she was not sure who came with him. It was probably Yan or Ming Hui or Lou, but she didn't know for sure since she didn't try to follow the other party last night. Even if she did try to follow him, it was unlikely she would succeed, so she didn't even bother trying.
Prince You nodded. He looked towards Jun Hua, "Did you meet with them last night?"
"Why did you think that it was last night, not yesterday?" Jun Hua asked back.
He shrugged and pointed towards the direction of his brother residence, "I heard quite a ruckus was happening in his residence last night. If it's not you or that person work, it seems unlikely anything can happen to any of the imperial family members."
Jun Hua knew that there was no way an ordinary person could touch the imperial family member, but why did this prince guess that it must be her or Soujin?
"You're quite sharp."
"I have to if I want to survive, " Prince You sipped his wine and slumped on the chair. He could feel his body became weaker as time goes by."You didn't come here only to ask about the real identity of the people from Ming Kingdom, right?"
"I come to ask the reason of their coming."
"In truth, you can just ask the reason from almost everyone on the street, " Prince You answered, "Prince Soujin come to take his fiancée and establish the peace treaty."
Jun Hua's expression didn't change from hearing the news, but her eyes clearly shown a huge ripple within them. She had not expected that Soujin come here because he was being married away to someone else. What was actually happening during the time she was away from Ming Kingdom? Was it true that he came to marry that girl? It has been only several months, but he couldn't wait for her any longer?
The little girl body shook a little bit. Her eyes stared at the sickly prince in front of her. Did he lie?
Prince You didn't bother to look at Jun Hua as he continued, "The emperor suggests a peace treaty, and they decide to make it true by a marriage agreement. Lady Tian Ni is chosen as the one who will marry Prince Soujin."
Tian Ni... Jun Hua remembered the lady that came to find Soujin that day and the one who astound the ladies in Ming Kingdom. She was indeed a fine lady, and she only has her eyes towards Soujin from what she heard. Did he accept the decision because he no longer wanted to wait for her and chose the other party?
"Did he agree?"
"If he didn't agree, why would he come here?" Prince You looked towards Jun Hua with questioning eyes and observed the other party reaction. Through it was faint, he was not an ordinary person and he could feel that she was not calm at all. Members of the imperial family were the quickest in term of noticing even the slightest hint.
"You know him, don't you?"
Jun Hua eyes narrowed."You're quite sharp, Prince..."
"I am a member of the imperial family after all. And I was almost killed many times in the past for the battle of the throne."
Jun Hua nodded her head and switched the conversation back."That news, are you sure that it's correct?"
He nodded."It's true. Almost every noble in this city knows that General Soujin has come to the capital of Ming Kingdom to marry Lady Tian Ni."
Tian Ni was the proclaimed the most beautiful girl in this city. Many nobles wanted to see a glance at her and be satisfied with the mere view of her feature. She was basically a goddess that no one could get, not even the princes.
The previously exiled Tian Family has now grown their reputation soaring to the high sky. With that, there was no doubt that they were the most likely to have a high position in this kingdom.
Jun Hua opened her mouth slightly, but she chose to swallow her words back to her throat. There was simply nothing she could comment in this kind of thing. If he really came here to marry that lady, she would back down and no longer waited for him. But if it was wrong....
Shaking her head, Jun Hua erased those thoughts from her head. She didn't come here to find news about him, but because she has a rather important thing to do in order to defeat Kai Kingdom even before the war.
Prince You watched Jun Hua's demeanor and opened his mouth, "Do you have any plan to do this evening? You can take the chance to stroll around the city and know this place better until you're ready to start your plan, whatever it is."
Pushing her feeling down, she nodded her head."I think it would be a good idea. If only you're healthier, I would like to have you as my escort."
Prince You looked speechless, "I can still walk around just fine. There is no need for you to look down upon me so much. My condition is not as bad as you may think."
"Really?" Jun Hua examined the other person from up to down. Because Prince You didn't care about his condition too well, he has been drinking a lot of drinks all these times and didn't maintain his health too well. Just one look and she knew that he was indeed already not a healthy young man.
"You sound like you're looking down at me, " Prince You smiled wryly.
Jun Hua smiled back as the response. She had managed to calm herself down by joking a little bit with this prince. Now that she has calmed down, it was better for her to create another trouble in this place before striking the most lethal move she had prepared beforehand.
Prince You noticed the other party's smile, and he felt a chill on his back. Although Jun Hua did not show any malicious intent, he could feel that the other party was planning to create more trouble in the future. Whatever it was, his instinct told him to stay away from the other party as much as possible during that time.
"I guess you can do just fine. Is there anything else you want to know?"
"I want to know where Prince Yang often wastes his time when he's in trouble. The guards don't seem to hold him in his residence per His Majesty's order."
"Yang? It should be in Northern Pavilion. Did you want to...?" Prince You swallowed the rest of his work because he could feel the chill even more clearly and quickly change his word."Good luck in whatever your plan is."
"Thank you, " with that Jun Hua disappeared from the room.
Prince You took his wine cup and silently prayed for his brother, so that the other party wouldn't die too quickly and enjoyed his boost in reputation for a longer time.
