I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

into the night.

The Prince of Jiang's Palace.

After the maids prepared the hot water in the bathhouse, they bowed and withdrew.

But after they left, they couldn't help but whisper among themselves and gossip.

Why has His Highness, the King of the Frontier, suddenly developed a liking for bathing?

I've taken more baths in the last few days than in the previous months combined.

"If I had known this would happen, why did I hide it so painstakingly before?"

Inside the bathtub, King Qin Han was enjoying the bathing service from his wife, Lady Li, and he couldn't help but sigh with pleasure.

He converted to Buddhism and shaved his head less than two years after marrying Li.

But in order to prevent others from discovering that he, a prince, was a monk, he had to wear a wig every day and rarely took it off when sleeping, only taking it off when bathing. This was also the reason why he disliked bathing, and why he always asked Li Shi to cover his eyes when she served him a bath.

But now that Li Shi knows he is a monk, she didn't say anything. On the contrary, the couple became even more loving, so Qin Han had nothing to hide anymore.

"Your Highness is too kind."

"What I don't understand is, Your Highness, being a prince, why would you choose to convert to Buddhism?"

Li bent down slightly, furrowed her delicate brows, and asked in confusion.

"A dragon prince?"

Qin Han couldn't help but snort coldly, and even his eyes changed.

"What dragon prince? He's nothing but a discarded pawn."

He will never forget that day.

That day, he knelt down and begged his father not to kill his mother, saying he would do anything.

His father agreed, and he was overjoyed for a long time.

That evening, his father asked him to bring over a bowl of soup.

He thought the bowl of soup was for his mother to nourish her body, so he happily took it over.

But little did anyone know, it was for the purpose of ordering the death of his mother.

Qin Han was filled with hatred, hating that Emperor Xuan had taken advantage of his youth.

He was forced to poison his own mother.

His mother died from the few spoonfuls of soup he personally fed her.

Qin Han will always remember that day.

It's not that the mother couldn't see the poison in the soup.

She noticed it, but she still smiled and drank it down.

Because the person who brought the soup to her and fed it to her with his own hands was her own son.

No one knows how desperate Qin Han was at that time, and no one can understand his feelings.

Upon hearing this, Li couldn't help but reach out and hug Qin Han, tears streaming down her face.

She hugged Qin Han, just as she had hugged the young Second Prince back then.

She had been married to Qin Han for so many years, and all she had heard was that Qin Han's mother was a princess of the Yelang Kingdom who died in a witchcraft scandal and was given death by the Xuan Emperor.

Little did they know that so many things had happened back then, that a child would poison his own mother. Wasn't the Emperor afraid of being struck by lightning?

Sensing Li's strong emotional fluctuations, Qin Han reached out and patted her arm, comforting her, "It's alright, everything is over."

"Do you know why I came to Southern Frontier City?"

"Wasn't it His Majesty who demoted His Highness here?"

Li looked at Qin Han and answered subconsciously.

"I came here of my own volition."

Qin Han said, "If I stay in the capital, I will never be able to avenge my mother. Only by going outside, to the Southern Frontier, can I cultivate my own strength and one day fight my way out and make that old bastard kneel down and kowtow to my mother in repentance!"

"Actually, I am not a monk, but the last disciple of the Buddha of the Buddhist Kingdom, and the next Buddha of the Buddhist Kingdom!"

"Once I become the true Buddha of the Buddhist Kingdom, I will be able to command countless Buddhist believers in the world. How will that old man fight against me then?"

"I want him to kneel down before me and say that he was wrong back then!"

Li nodded emphatically.

She supported her prince in doing so.

So what if my own prince is a monk?

Everything the prince did was to avenge his mother.

If he doesn't even dare to avenge his mother, then she would truly despise Qin Han.

She blamed Qin Han for not telling her the truth sooner and for keeping it from her for so long.

"So that's why the Prince didn't allow the Crown Prince to lead troops to attack the Buddhist Kingdom." Li Shi understood everything.

Qin Han nodded, continued patting Li's arm, and sighed, "The Crown Prince's arrival is truly ill-timed. I don't know how much suffering I endured to become the Buddha's last disciple, qualified to inherit the Buddha's throne. It seemed that my revenge plan was about to be half successful, but who knew the Crown Prince would arrive..."

"What does Your Highness wish to do?"

Li asked.

Qin Han's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. "Anyone who tries to stop me from taking my revenge will become a stumbling block to my cause. The only fate of a stumbling block is to be kicked far away by me."

"But the Crown Prince has a powerful army and many capable generals. How can the Prince possibly fight against him?"

Changing the subject, Lady Li said, "I have heard that the Crown Prince also deeply resents His Majesty. Why don't you find an opportunity to speak frankly with the Crown Prince? I believe that once the Crown Prince learns of your plight, he will surely sympathize with you."

"With the Crown Prince's help, the Prince may be able to achieve his revenge even faster."

Everyone knows that over the years, the Crown Prince and Emperor Xuan have become irreconcilable enemies.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Not to mention, the Crown Prince and Qin Han are brothers, and the two can join forces to deal with Emperor Xuan.

Even if Emperor Xuan had extraordinary abilities, he was no match for the two brothers working together.

"no."

Qin Han shook his head and looked at Li Shi, saying, "Do you think the Crown Prince doesn't know what happened back then? He does know, but he chose to stand by and do nothing."

"Therefore, we can't join forces; we can only be enemies!"

Lady Li reiterated, "The Crown Prince has strong troops and capable generals. Moreover, the army will march on the Buddhist Kingdom in seven days. What will Your Highness do?"

The Crown Prince's strength is too great to be defeated, and Qin Han doesn't have much time left. Therefore, Lady Li is more inclined to be honest with the Crown Prince.

Qin Han replied, "Sometimes, having the strongest fist doesn't guarantee victory. This time, I'll let the Crown Prince experience the power of Buddhist faith."

After saying that, Qin Han narrowed his eyes. He was absolutely confident that he could defeat the powerful Crown Prince Qin Li.

The crown prince is in the open, while he is in the shadows; the advantage lies with him.

"What does Your Highness wish to do? What can I do to help Your Highness?" Lady Li asked.

From the day she married Qin Han, she and Qin Han were bound together, husband and wife as one, sharing both glory and disgrace.

Qin Han beckoned to her, signaling her to turn her ear to the side, and Li obediently complied.

As Qin Han spoke in her ear, Li's beautiful eyes widened involuntarily.

Afterwards, Lady Li couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, is what we're doing alright?"

Qin Han nodded emphatically, and held Li's hand, "You can do it, trust me."
