Chapter 505: Persuasion
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Your Highness, Princess Ning Fu is the descendant of a loyal minister.
Besides, she’s pregnant now, so how can she withstand the long journey from the northern region to the capital?”
Pei Qian took a deep breath. Although he was unwilling, he had no choice but to try his best to persuade the Fourth Prince not to worsen things.
“So what? She asked for this outcome. She can’t blame me.”
The Fourth Prince pursed his lips and said disdainfully, “Even if something happens on the way, she deserves it!”
“Your Highness, no matter what, you should consider the implications of this matter.”
Pei Qian held his forehead in frustration and tried his best to suppress the urge to roar. Instead, he tried his best to calm down and reason with this bastard in front of him.
“If you bring the princess along this time, if anything happens, it will probably be difficult to hide it from the people that are monitoring you.
At that time, if someone wants to use this to cause trouble, what will you use to stop people from gossiping?”
“Now that you mention it, it makes sense! Sigh, how annoying!”
The Fourth Prince had been in a bad mood recently and would immediately lose his temper even if slightly provoked.
Therefore, after his plans regarding Princess Ning Fu were rejected by Pei Qian several times, his expression became extremely ugly.
The bulging veins on his forehead were enough to prove that he was about to go berserk.
“If this doesn’t work, what do you think we should do? In my opinion, we might as well go all out in order to prevent future trouble!”
As the Fourth Prince spoke, he raised his hand and made a throat-slitting gesture.
Not only was Pei Qian used to the coldness of human nature, but he had also personally dealt with many enemies and opponents.
But for someone like the Fourth Prince, who was willing to kill his own flesh and blood just to eliminate trouble that he could overcome…
It was really beyond his expectations.
Such a person was terrifyingly heartless!
How could someone like him dare to covet that position?!
If he obtained that position, it would be the disaster of this world!
“Your Highness, there’s no such thing as an impenetrable wall. If you really do this and the news gets out, your reputation will really be ruined.”
Pei Qian lowered his eyes. He felt that he had probed enough, so he decided to reel in the net.
“No matter what, the princess is pregnant with your flesh and blood. Just based on this, she has inseparable ties with you!
Therefore, it’s better to think about how to maximize the benefits.
At least for the time being, the benefits of treating the princess well are much greater than getting rid of her directly.”
“Then what do you mean?”
After listening for a long time, the Fourth Prince finally understood the hint in Pei Qian’s words, although he still didn’t understand the deeper meaning.
“Why don’t we leave the princess in the northern region for the time being?”
Pei Qian looked up at the Fourth Prince and suggested gently, “As for the rest, it won’t be too late to make arrangements after the child is born.”
“That won’t do! Ningfu insisted on going back to the capital with me previously. If I really abandon her now, won’t she cause trouble?
Besides, if she really stayed in the northern region and something happened later, wouldn’t it be too late for me to salvage the situation?
Besides, you just said that no matter what, she’s still a princess and the descendant of a loyal minister. Even if there’s no successor now, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse.
If I keep her like this, won’t my mother scold me?!”
The Fourth Prince was full of ideas. He wanted to kill Princess Ning Fu and the child just now, and now that he really heard Pei Qian’s suggestion to keep them, he was a little unwilling.
Sighing, she couldn’t help but look up at Pei Qian and continue, “Is there no other way?”
“Your Highness, think about your current health.”
Seeing that the Fourth Prince was so confused, Pei Qian had no choice but to say, “If anything goes wrong, this child will be your only chance to turn the tables.
After we return to the capital, there will be too many unpredictable things.
What if the Third Prince finds out and directly kills the princess and her son, then announces your condition to the public? What do you think the consequences will be?
However, if the princess and her son are still around, even if the Third Prince discovers your condition, you can use the excuse that the Third Prince is setting you up to counterattack.”
“Cousin, you’re right. 1 was too naive.”
The Fourth Prince clenched his fists. Although he was filled with hatred, he restrained himself from venting it in front of Pei Qian.
However, Pei Qian’s words gave the Fourth Prince a hint. He turned around and looked at Pei Qian as he gritted his teeth and asked, “Cousin, you mean that the Third Prince is the one who made me fall sick?”
“Your Highness, for the time being, 1 haven’t found conclusive evidence yet.”
Pei Qian didn’t admit it directly, but these words were enough to anger the Fourth Prince!
Looking at the mess on the ground, Pei Qian didn’t persuade him. He only let the Fourth Prince vent his anger.
It wasn’t until the Fourth Prince had smashed everything he could and was panting so hard he could barely stand that Pei Qian slowly walked over the wreckage on the ground and supported the Fourth Prince.
“Your Highness, you have to calm down.” Pei Qian’s tone was gentle and filled with pity.
“I knew it. It must be him!”
The Fourth Prince turned around and looked at Pei Qian with red eyes with vulnerability and helplessness in his eyes. “If not him, who else would be so despicable and ruthless to me?!
If that’s the case, he must know about my condition. He’s waiting for me to return to the capital and embarrass me!”
“Your Highness, I don’t think the Third Prince will expose this matter for the time being.”
Pei Qian carefully helped the Fourth Prince sit down on a soft couch at the side. Then, he continued to analyze, “He will definitely use this trump card at the most critical moment.
That’s why I suggest that you keep Mr. Pei in the northern region.
After all, it’s much safer for the princess and her son to stay in the northern region than to follow you back to the capital. 1’11 tell General Wei Bei to take good care of the princess and her son. No matter what, at least we can’t give the Third Prince any opportunity.
This way, even if the Third Prince uses your condition against you, we can be prepared to face the enemy and won’t be caught off guard.
“After the situation stabilizes, wouldn’t it be more reliable for you to decide what to do with the princess and her son based on the actual situation at that time?”
