I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

As the date for marching into the Buddhist Kingdom drew near, changes, both overt and covert, occurred throughout the entire Southern Frontier City.

For ordinary people, war is never a good thing.

When a dynasty prospers, the people suffer; when a dynasty falls, the people suffer.

Moreover, the vast majority of people in Nanjiang City are Buddhists, and some even make a trip to the Buddhist Kingdom every year to pay homage to the Buddha. They genuinely do not want the army to disturb the peace of the Buddhist Kingdom.

On the other hand, they are all citizens of the Great Zhou. The Great Zhou has expanded its territory by three states, and they feel proud and honored from the bottom of their hearts. Even the Buddhist Kingdom will be the Buddhist Kingdom of the Great Zhou from now on, making it more convenient for them to worship.

In short, the people of Nanjiang City were divided on the army's attack on the Buddhist Kingdom, and were still in a wait-and-see phase.

As for the officials of Nanjiang City, their attitude was more obvious than that of the common people. They did not support the army's attack on the Buddhist Kingdom because they were all people of King Qin Han. However, due to Qin Li's tyranny, they dared not say or do anything, and only dared to grumble in private.

On this morning, the army was about to march on the Buddhist kingdom.

Early in the morning, Qin Li also got up early to prepare.

From the moment the welcoming banquet began, Qin Li openly and legitimately took Chun Tao and Xia Liu.

Early in the morning, the two of them were helping Qin Li get dressed and wash up.

However, halfway through serving them, Princess Li, the wife of the Prince of Jiang, suddenly arrived.

Unlike her usual state of being fully covered up, today Li was wearing a very revealing dress, exposing every part of her body that could be shown.

Qin Li, Chun Tao, and Xia Liu saw this and couldn't help but exchange glances, knowing the truth but saying nothing.

After Li Yingying walked in, she took the clothes from Xia Liu's hands, walked behind Qin Li, and said:

"Your Highness, please forgive us. These two maids are new to the household, and they are inevitably clumsy in their work. Please forgive any shortcomings in their care."

Upon hearing this, Xia Liu and Chun Tao both pursed their lips when Li Shi couldn't see them.

If even the two of them can't take good care of each other, then there's no one in the whole world who can.

However, this cannot be blamed on Lady Li. Although Lady Li is a princess, she is just an ordinary person and cannot see through the identities of the two.

After helping Qin Li put on his clothes, Li patted his shoulder and smoothed out the wrinkles in his clothes.

Qin Li felt quite embarrassed by Li's thoughtful gesture.

However, upon further reflection, he accepted Li's purpose in coming here with a smile.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Li asked, "Is your sister-in-law's illness any better? I saw that she was still coughing yesterday. This kind of illness requires proper rest, otherwise it will become a chronic condition, and it will be too late to regret it."

Li replied instinctively, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I'm much better."

Upon hearing this, Chun Tao and Xia Liu couldn't help but lower their heads and cover their mouths to chuckle.

Seeing that Li Shi had not yet reacted, Qin Li asked again:

"I have been living in this manor for quite some time now, but there is no pond or lake in the Jiangwang manor. Where did my sister-in-law fall into the water?"

"Yes, yes..."

Just as Li was about to answer, she suddenly realized something, her beautiful eyes widening as she stared at Qin Li in disbelief.

In her panic, she tried to lift her skirt and run away.

But when she thought of the task Qin Han had given her, she gritted her teeth and stayed.

The next moment, her acting was so bad that she cried out and fell into Qin Li's arms.

Qin Li could have avoided it, but he still reached out and supported her.

The soft warmth of the food made him marvel at how well Qin Han was eating.

But the next moment, he sighed and thought Qin Han was a real scoundrel, actually letting his wife seduce him.

Just as I was marveling at this, a series of chaotic footsteps and the sound of armor plates clashing together suddenly came from outside the room.

With a bang, the door to the room was pushed open by force.

The newcomer was none other than King Qin Han, followed by a large group of soldiers.

Seeing the scene inside the room, Qin Han was furious and pointed at Qin Li:

"Brother, how dare you do this!"

"Your Majesty, ask yourself honestly, since you came to Southern Frontier City, I have treated you well. How dare you mistreat my wife?"

When Li saw Qin Han arrive, she tried to leave Qin Li's embrace and hid beside Qin Han, crying and sobbing.

This was the task Qin Han had given her: to use her innocent body to smear Crown Prince Qin Li.

But to her surprise, just as she was about to leave Qin Li's embrace, she found that she couldn't do it no matter what.

Qin Li's arms were like a pair of iron clamps, holding her tightly, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free.

Seeing this, Qin Han really wanted to draw his sword and cut off Qin Li's arms.

He instructed his wife, Li, to seduce Qin Li, but he prevented Qin Li from taking advantage of Li.

"Qin Li, why aren't you releasing my wife right now!" Qin Han roared furiously.

Qin Li not only refused to let go, but also reached out and lightly stroked Li's cheek, a smirk playing on his lips as he said flippantly:

"We're all brothers, why be so formal? Your wife is my wife, and I'll cherish her. Aren't you happy?"

"Shameless!" Qin Han cursed.

This is also why Qin Han didn't want to fight against Emperor Xuan with Qin Li. Qin Li was a villain at heart, while he wasn't. He just wanted to avenge his mother.

"Take it down!"

At his command, the soldiers behind Qin Han rushed forward and forcibly separated Qin Li and Li Shi.

After being rescued, Li rushed to Qin Han's side, tears welling up in her eyes. She was truly wronged and felt unclean.

Qin Han comforted Li Shi in a low voice for a long time before she stopped crying.

Throughout the entire process, Qin Li did not resist; he wanted to see what Qin Han was up to.

Before long, officials of all ranks from the Southern Frontier City appeared at the door of the room.

Seeing the scene inside the room, they immediately realized what had happened and began to blame Qin Li.

Qin Li didn't defend himself. After all, this was a carefully set-up scheme by Qin Han. How could he not cooperate properly?

"take away!"

At a command, Qin Li was taken away by the soldiers.

After settling Princess Li in, Qin Han led the officials to follow behind.

At the main gate of the Jiangwang Mansion, the generals and soldiers had been waiting for a long time. Today was the day the army would attack the Buddhist Kingdom, and they were already impatient. However, Qin Li did not come, and they wished they could rush into the mansion and drag him out.

Finally, they couldn't help but look at Zhou Biao and ask, "Guard Zhou, why hasn't His Highness the Crown Prince come out yet? Could it be that the march on the Buddhist Kingdom is going to be postponed again?"

Zhou Biao glanced inside, cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, and said perfunctorily, "Generals, please calm down. I don't know what happened either. His Highness the Crown Prince should be coming out soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Li indeed came out, but he was escorted out.

The generals and soldiers at the gate frowned slightly upon seeing this scene.

They all drew their swords. Could it be that this Jiang King Li Han was about to rebel?

"Don't act impulsively, don't act impulsively!"

After ordering Qin Li to be brought out, Li Han's first words were this.

He's not stupid; a direct confrontation would only lead to certain death, which is why he devised this plan.

"Generals, please don't act rashly. I have no intention of offending the Crown Prince..."
