I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night Novel - Chapter 168

168 That’s Another Price!

Therefore, if he had encountered King Gu Han in the northern barbarian territory, the first thought that came to his mind would definitely be to silence him and destroy his corpse!

“The reason I’m standing here today is that your border guards allowed it!

When I passed the border, I didn’t lose a single soldier. Even if the emperor of the empire wants to blame me, the first to be decapitated should be you good-for-nothings!”

“Good-for-nothings?!

“When you entered the border, there were thousands of people! Just a mere refugee camp has reduced you guys to less than a hundred people. In that case, who’s the useless one?!”

!!
Although Pei Qian was at a disadvantage now, he was still sharp-tongued.

He sized up King Gu Han with a faint smile. Unfortunately, it was too dark and the other party’s beard was too thick, so he couldn’t see his expression.

However, Pei Qian didn’t care about this. He stared at King Gu Han for a while longer before saying, “I know that you’re not someone who would disregard the consequences for short-term gain!

Since you took such a huge risk, it means that the person you’re looking for must be very important to you!

What do you want to do?!”

There were some things that were useless to hide at this point. It was better to expose everything so that King Gu Han would have some fear.

“I’m looking for someone!”

King Gu Han seemed to be a little surprised by Pei Qian’s actions. He froze for a long time before coming back to his senses. Then, he looked at Pei Qian as he replied, “Someone infiltrated my father’s tent and stole his favorite secret treasure. Now that he has infiltrated your territory, I naturally have to find him at all costs!”

“Then why do you have your sights set on our refugee camp?!”

Lin Suisui carefully looked up from behind Pei Qian. Her coquettish voice made Pei Qian shiver in discomfort. However, he still endured it and didn’t reveal anything. He was just waiting to see what Lin Suisui was up to.

“This is?” King Gu Han glanced at Lin Suisui and raised his eyebrows in surprise. There was contempt and disdain in his eyes.

“I didn’t expect you to have a beautiful woman in your company even when you’re on official business!”

“King Gu Han, are you blind?! No matter what, I wouldn’t bring such a person… with me!” Pei Qian turned around and followed King Gu Han’s gaze to glance at Lin Suisui. There was a clear warning in his eyes—Think of a way to escape later!

“How can you do this?!” For some reason, Lin Suisui raised her hand and punched Pei Qian. “I abandoned my husband for you. He was so angry that he wanted to kill me!

You said that you would bring me back to the capital and promised me wealth and glory. Were you lying to me?!”

“Stop!”

Pei Qian’s forehead throbbed. He reached out to stop Lin Suisui, but King Gu Han, who was watching from the side, seemed to have thought of something and suddenly threw his head back and laughed. “Haha, I didn’t expect you to have such a strange fetish. You’ve really impressed me!”

“Mr. Pei, on the account that we know each other, if you can hand over the thief you hid in the refugee camp, I swear that I won’t make things difficult for you. I’ll even provide you with a fast horse so that you can bring this young lady back to the capital to enjoy wealth. How about that?!”

Looking at the young man and woman fighting in front of him, who were not giving in to each other, King Guhan simply told Pei Qian, “Mr. Pei, there’s no grudge between us. There’s no need for me to harm you. How about that?!”

“I really don’t have the thief you’re talking about!”

Pei Qian pressed down on Lin Suisui’s hands that were about to scratch his face and turned to look at King Gu Han. He sneered in response. However, Lin Suisui, who was in Pei Qian’s arms, spoke at almost the same time as Pei Qian and looked at the Khan expectantly. “Is what you said true?!”

“Shut up!”

Pei Qian was about to reach out to cover Lin Suisui’s mouth, but in the next moment, she broke free and moved to the side. The little girl tidied her messy clothes and looked up at Pei Qian with a smug expression. Then, she turned to look at King Gu Han and said, “I know. He really saved someone!

He was a soldier who was covered in blood and fell on a riverbank outside the camp. He was brought back by Qian He!”

“How do you know so much?!” King Gu Han stared at Lin Suisui with obvious suspicion.

From this woman’s attire and the argument between Pei Qian and her just now, it wasn’t difficult for King Gu Han to guess Lin Suisui’s background. In his opinion, she was a refugee camp woman who wanted to climb up the social ladder.

In that case, how did she know so much?!

“Because I treated that person’s injuries!” Lin Suisui raised her head smugly and slowly took two steps in King Gu Han’s direction before continuing, “I treated his injuries and took care of him for a few more days, but after he recovered, he disappeared!

I wondered about that person’s whereabouts, but Mr. Pei refused to tell me! Later on, he said that his injuries had worsened and he was dead!

At that time, I felt that something was fishy.

After all, as a doctor, I’ve treated people’s injuries hundreds or thousands of times over the years!

I’m always certain about whether the injuries on that person’s body are fatal or not! So why did that person, who had been recuperating for seven to eight days, suddenly die?!

It was only yesterday that I realized where that thief had gone!

King Gu Han, guess where that thief is now?!”

At this point, Lin Suisui was actually still keeping them in suspense.

When King Gu Han heard that she was keeping them in suspense, his expression immediately turned ugly. He stared at Lin Suisui and threatened, “Where is it? Tell me quickly!”

“If you want to know, there’s a different price!” Lin Suisui raised her hand and tidied her hair as she glanced at King Gu Han coquettishly. “As you saw just now, Mr. Pei promised to give me wealth and glory, but now that a crisis is imminent, he wants to abandon me!

I finally realized that men are unreliable! Therefore, money is better. It’s much more reliable than men’s sweet nothings!”
