2361: C2361 Treating a Tiger for Its Skin

C2361 Treating a Tiger for Its Skin

Xizhan couldn't bear it either, but this was the truth. No matter how much he felt for his daughter, there was no way he could change it.

"Yin'er, since Third Prince Long has eyes but failed to see, don't be too sad. At most, I'll protect you for the rest of your life..." said Xi Zhan.

"No way, there must be something hidden behind it. Ao Feng definitely won't abandon me!"

However, Princess Chao Yin refused to accept this fact. This was the last straw that could save her life.

Now, she could no longer become the Crown Prince. In fact, she would have to look at the expressions of Chao Ge and the others in the future. This was something that she could not tolerate at all.

"Sigh..."

For a moment, Prince Xizhan didn't know how to console his daughter, and his speechless words could only turn into a sigh.

When he was alive, he could naturally protect Princess Chao Yin, but there would be a day when she would eventually pass away. At that time, Princess Chao Yin would probably be in danger.

"Reporting to the lord, the group of the Long San Crown Prince requests an audience!"

Just as Prince Xi Zhan was hesitating, he saw a Tidal soldier rush into the hall.

Hearing this, Prince Xizhan and Princess Chao Yin's hearts shook. However, compared to Princess Chao Yin's undisguised joy, Prince Xizhan's face was full of doubt.

For some reason, Prince Xizhan felt uneasy in his heart. After pondering for a long time, he said with a cold frown, "The other party has come to propose marriage?"

"That's not mentioned. However, the person who came said that he has something important to meet Princess Chao Yin and the messenger of the Flower of Evil." The Tidal Soldiers reported truthfully.

"It really isn't that simple..." Prince Xizhan muttered to himself, then waved his hand and said, "Tell them that I'm not in good health and shouldn't meet guests!"

"Father, why are you doing this?!"

Before the Tidal Soldiers could leave to report, Princess Xianyin grabbed Prince Xizhan.

"Yin'er, the Flower of Evil isn't a good person. Being too close to them is no different from asking a tiger for its skin. Moreover, our current situation isn't any better. It's better if we don't get involved in their matters. " Prince Xi Zhan explained patiently.

"But what if they really came to propose marriage? If you drive her away like this, have you considered your daughter's happiness in the future? " Princess Chao Yin's beautiful eyes were filled with tears as she muttered aggrievedly.

"Sigh... Alright then! Father will let you meet, but you must be careful."

Prince Xizhan loved his daughter as much as his life. He really couldn't bear to see his daughter suffer any grievances, so he could only agree helplessly.

"Got it. My daughter isn't a child anymore, so she should know what to do..."

As she spoke, Princess Chao Yin ran out of the bedchamber with great interest.

Just as she sees the Long San Crown Prince who has been waiting outside the Warring Palace for a long time, Princess Chao Yin charges over and hugs him.

"Ao Feng, I thought you wouldn't come..."

Princess Chao Yin seemed to be afraid that the person in her arms would suddenly disappear and was unwilling to let go of her arms.

If it is said that Princess Chao Yin likes Crown Prince Long San, it is not necessarily true. It is just that she has nothing now and becoming the Crown Princess of the Dragon Palace is the best way out for her. At the same time, it is also the only way out.

"Yin'er what are you talking about? Didn't I come here!"

The Long San Crown Prince faintly smiled and gently patted Princess Chao Yin's back. However, what was hidden in the depths of his eyes was a deep sense of disgust.

After a long time, Princess Chao Yin reluctantly let go of Crown Prince Long San and sobbed softly, "Royal father said that you didn't come to propose to me today but to that fellow, Princess Chao Ge. Is it true?"

"Hahaha..."

Prince Long San touched his nose guiltily and explained after a moment of silence, "How is that possible? I am only accompanying Chief Commander Nurarihyon to the Tidal Palace to discuss important matters. If you don't believe me, you can ask the Chief Commander."1

Head Commander Nurarihyon smiled and nodded his head repeatedly. He echoed, "Yes, yes, yes... Crown Prince Long San is accompanying me to discuss important matters. You must know that after creating such a huge misunderstanding, I will not allow him to accompany me."

"So that's how it is. It caused Father and I to be worried for a long time."

A smile finally appears on Princess Chao Ge's distressed face as the gloominess in her heart also dissipates quite a bit.

But before she could be happy for too long, the following words of Crown Prince Long San were like a basin of cold water being poured over.

"Chao Yin, there is one thing that I have thought about for a long time, and I do not know how to tell you..." The eyes of Crown Prince Long San flickered, as if there was something difficult to say as he stammered.

"Is there anything that we cannot say between us?" Princess Chao Ge suddenly becomes nervous as she says in a deep voice.

"So it's like this... Ever since Father found out that you haven't become the Crown Prince, he still hasn't agreed to let me marry you as the Crown Princess." After taking a deep breath, Crown Prince Long San said with a serious expression.

"You... You mean you want me to be the concubine?"

Princess Chao Yin subconsciously took half a step back, her face full of disbelief.

This was far from what she had expected. She, who had always been proud of herself, simply could not accept this result.

However, if she thought about it carefully, the current her did not seem to be worthy of the Long San Crown Prince. After all, she was only the daughter of a prince in the Tidal Palace, while the other party was the legitimate Crown Prince of the Dragon Palace. The status and identity of both parties are indeed not on the same level.

Most importantly, after Xizhan lost the Tidal Decree, his status and influence in the Tidal King Kingdom fell drastically, and as a princess, she naturally couldn't be left alone.

"Don't be agitated for now. I've already argued with him for a long time. He was so angry that he wanted to cripple my position as the Crown Prince. You know my father as well. Once he has decided on something... I can't do anything about it either... " The Long San Crown Prince firmly grabbed Princess Chao Ge's shoulder, his face filled with pain.

When First Commander Nurarihyon by the side saw this, he could not help but praise in his heart. If he did not know the truth, perhaps he would have been deceived by this realistic acting.

No wonder Crown Prince Long San was able to make Princess Chao Yin so loyal. This trick of flowery words had already reached the realm of perfection.

"Chao Yin, I have already done this for you. Could it be that you are still unwilling to marry me?"

Seeing that the other party did not give a reply after a long time, the corners of Crown Prince Long San's mouth actually revealed a smile that was difficult to detect.

"I..."

Princess Chao Yin silently lowered her head, unwilling to look straight into the other party's eyes.

"Sigh... I can't bear to see a scene where it's hard to find a lover. If the Chao Yin Princess is willing, I have an idea."

Just as Princess Chao Yin was in a dilemma, the silent chief commander Nurarihyon suddenly spoke up.
