The duke’s manor had beco Eastern Lu had arrived in person with an entourage accoh there weren't that ht people, they included other dukes as well as royal officials The ht his sickly daughter with hiive it to them, these dukes and officials were top of the line actors Froic than the last

As if the Jiang Chen lying in the coffin was a child of their fa was expressionless as he woodenly returned the visitors’ greetings If playacting hat they wanted, then playacting they would receive

However, when Eastern Zhiruo stepped up to light her incense sticks, the sickly girl said in a quiet voice, “Big brother Jiang Chen, I’m sorry, you were drawn into this situation because Zhiruo is so useless But don’t worry, Zhiruo will personally apologize to you if there is another world after death When we are there you are free to hit me, yell at me, or do whatever Father held the Rites to pray for me, so your death is Zhiruo’s fault I hope the heavens can understand and bladoirl spoke in halting bursts, even while she lacked the proper amount of breath to do so, she was sincere and quite serious These words caused the nobles ere acting up a storhtly ashamed at their actions

Even fatty Xuan found it hard to hate her, and he hated the Eastern royals with a passion

“I say Princess Zhiruo, the guy’s dead already, there’s no point in saying all this If you really feel guilty, then marry my brother Chen when you’re down there He was not qualified to be your consort when alive, but dead! Heh! Oh yes, my brother Chen loves a nice butt In terms of body, he…”

No one could shut fatty Xuan’sHis words completely incensed Eastern Lu You dahter to die as soon as possible?

Meanwhile, the dukes were striving htily to control their facial expressions They were desperately afraid of being a a s Chen had been lying quite comfortably in the coffin when he heard fatty Xuan start to lose control of the situation How could one continue to lie dohen such a thing was happening? He sprang into a sitting position and scowled, “damn fatty, can’t you even let me die in peace?”

With the exception of his father, Jiang Chen’s action froze everyone solid for a good couple of seconds

Fatty Xuan was the closest to hi, are you pretending to be a corpse or playing dead?”

“Pretending , why don’t you try it?”

Eastern Lu’s face stilled when he saw Jiang Chen suddenly sit up A follower beside hi Chen, how dare you pretend to be dead! You haveand committed treason! You and your fa never failed to be short of these sycophants

Jiang Chen was too lazy to pay him any attention, and slowly pulled hiaze, “Your Majesty, Jiang Chen was lucky and did not die I ain, or will you forgive your subject’s unintentional cri of a nation but his strong heart skipped a beat when Jiang Chen swept his gaze over him This youth that had climbed out of a coffin had a mysterious, indefinable quality about him that made even Eastern Lu a bit wary

“Hnify your impudent question with a response? You will be spared since you had the great luck to survive”

Eastern Lu actually really wanted to choke Jiang Chen to death, but reason told hi a king

If he s would think he was not acting as a king should, not toHan would rebel without a doubt

“Your Majesty, this devious rat was playing dead to avoid being executed This treacherous intention is worthy of a death sentence! This duke petitions your e harshly and exact justice”

It was that sycophant again

However, Jiang Han’s duke, Jiang Feng, wasn’t playing along this ti of this, duke of Tianshi+u? His Majesty has said he won’t be pursuing theto acco up and down?”

It wasn’t exactly a hardo Han, were notorious rivals

The duke of Tianshui laughed coldly, “Jiang Feng, don’t you find it odd that your son has arisen fro his ate the Jiang father and son If I speak the truth, then the entire Jiang faave a quiet chuckle as he saw his father was about to erupt into full-blown anger, and swept his eyes in an interested gaze between Eastern Lu and Eastern Zhiruo

He then casually spoke, “Your Majesty, it would be si fahness’ life, noould it?

Eastern Lu’s expression froze, “What do youbeaten to death in the te next to reat deal of words that see to do with the princess’ illness I found the will to live again when I thought of the princess’ illness, so I clawed my way back to life If Your Majesty thinks I should die, then please give the order to caneChen was a smart fellow; he knehat to say in order to whet someone’s appetite What he just said had precisely struck Eastern Lu’s weak spot

As the ruler of a kingdom, Eastern Lu was tyrannical and paranoid But as a father, Eastern Zhiruo was the apple of his eye

He was te had taken an interest in his daughter’s illness What were the Rites for? Who else if not his daughter?

An illness that no elixir or medicine could cure was in the hands of the Gods
