Chapter 196: Chapter 196, Bestowing A Ferocious Tiger
The Third Prince’s assassination had cast a shadow over the autumn hunt.
However, Tetumtan was indeed a formidable figure of the grassland. Even in this situation, he still let the hunting continue.
In this regard, many ministers came forward to persuade him, thinking that even the King was in danger. What if the killer came to kill Tetumtan?
“Do you think I’ll be scared by a mere assassin?” Tetumtan was eager for these assassins to come and kill him so that he could capture and interrogate them about who had ordered them to kill the Third Prince.
Moreover, he knew very well that his children would not kill him now, at least not before the heir was decided!
Seeing his insistence, the ministers didn’t say anything more and just let the hunting continue.
However, everyone was no longer as enthusiastic as before. in the end, they hastily finished their work and began barbecue game in the wild.
This segment was Cai Lian’s favorite. She didn’t care who the King was as long as they didn’t delay her from eating.
It was rare that Lia didn’t go to Tetumtan to act coquettishly today because she knew that if she said anything at this time, it would have the opposite effect, and her father might be disgusted.
The wisest choice was to stay here obediently.
He Chuan was also happy to be idle. Nothing was more important than drinking and enjoying the beautiful scenery of the grassland.
However, some people didn’t like quietness. The Eldest Princess walked over with enchanting steps and sat beside He Chuan.
Her charming face was very calm, not nervous at all because she was framed.
“Sixth Sister is in the mood to eat and drink, not afraid that this matter will be investigated to you.” The Eldest Princess said.
“Hmph! I won’t use this kind of underhanded means. Big Sister should be careful. You’re still a suspect.” Lia was not to be outdone. The other party was always blatantly trying to steal her person, which made her very unhappy.
However, she couldn’t do anything about it in her current situation.
After all, she had to rely on He Chuan, not him.
The Eldest Princess had been operating secretly for many years, and her influence had already taken shape. Other than the First Prince, the Eldest Princess’s influence was the greatest, so Lia could only endure it for now.
She was born too late, and no one thought she could become the Queen of the Grassland.
“There’s a saying in the central plains that goes. If you don’t do anything wrong, you won’t be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door at midnight. Although I hate Third Brother, he’s still of some use. He can help me restrain the First Prince. Now that Third Brother is dead, I’ve immediately become the target to be eliminated. The next one might be Sixth Sister.”
She was a very smart woman. The Eldest Princess immediately analyzed the pros and cons.
If Lia was willing to cooperate, they could still resist the First Prince together. Otherwise, they would be defeated one by one.
“Unlike Big Sister, I don’t have any capable people around me. Besides Master and Sister Lian’er, I have no one else to rely on.” Lia immediately began to cry about how poor she was, saying she had no power to rely on and could not help even if she wanted to.
“Young Master He Chuan is worth thousands of soldiers and horses. If Sixth Sister is willing, I’m willing to use warriors to exchange with you.” The Eldest Princess’s seductive eyes swept over He Chuan. If she had the help of this expert, her great plan would succeed.
Unfortunately, Lia was not stupid. In this world where the strong were respected, saint cultivators were much more critical than the warriors.
She couldn’t do such a thing and didn’t dare to decide for He Chuan.
“The Eldest Princess is too kind. I was a crane at night, not a warrior of thousands.” He Chuan was speechless. Why did you put yourself in the middle of your fight?
If he was provoked, he could directly let Lia take over; by then, even the battle could be omitted.
“It seems that Mr. He Chuan still prefers green apples like Sixth Sister.” The Eldest Princess saw that He Chuan wasn’t listening and immediately changed the topic.
“It seems that the Eldest Princess is testing my bottom line. Do you know that this is very dangerous? If you cross the line, I might kill you.” He Chuan’s eyes were filled with killing intent.
The powerful killing intent was so real that the Eldest Princess immediately shut her mouth in fear.
He Chuan, who usually looked very gentle, was so scary when he was angry.
Lia saw that the Eldest Princess had been defeated and immediately smiled, thinking to herself. She deserves it. Who asked her to speak so unscrupulously?
This made He Chuan unhappy. Let’s see if the other party would dare to come and steal her in the future.
“You two b*tches, do you think you can fight against this King by cooperating? I’ll send you down to see that pig when I find the chance.”
Seeing the Eldest Princess and Lia together, the First Prince could roughly guess what they were thinking.
However, the First Prince had absolute confidence that he would continue to deal with the Eldest Princess and Lia after he had taken over the Third Brother’s forces.
“Lia has hunted the most this time, and I like it the most, so this tiger belongs to Lia!” Tetumtan pointed at the dead tiger and said.
This reward could not be said to be small.
The tiger’s body was full of treasures. Its skin, meat, bones, and even the man’s favorite tonic, the tiger’s whip.
Although the royal descendants and aristocrats could also get it on a regular basis, the reward of Tetumtan was even more different.
Every year, Tetumtan would keep it for himself because he also had concubines to take care of, and he would never let go of such a nourishing thing.
But now, he was giving it to Lia, proving that he still doted on his daughter the most.
This made the other children very jealous.
He Chuan finally understood that Tetumtan didn’t want to reward Lia alone, but he didn’t know who to reward after the Third Prince’s incident.
Because the reward meant that he would let them do whatever they wanted, he said there was something he liked among Lia’s prey today. In fact, he was basically hinting that his other children should be more honest. Otherwise, he could support whoever he wanted to, and he did not want to see an assassination again.
The First Prince snorted coldly to himself. He couldn’t suppress his desire to kill Tetumtan and take over the throne.
Tetumtan liked to eat bear paws, so bears were his favorite prey.
For this reason, he did not hesitate to rear a black bear in secret, just so that he could receive a reward today and further consolidate his position.
Tetumtan had actually said that the deer meat was his favorite.
It was the biggest joke in the world!
Thus, the First Prince’s ideas which had been suppressed by Gurdan continued to surge again.
As long as he could kill the Eldest Princess and Lia, then find a way to kill Tetumtan, no one would be able to stop him from becoming the King.
“First Prince! The King is granting wine!” Gurdan saw that the First Prince’s expression was uncertain, and he didn’t even raise his glass, so he quickly reminded him.
“Didn’t you say that the plan was foolproof? Why didn’t I get anything today?” The First Prince quickly raised his glass and asked Gurdan in a low voice.
“First Prince, don’t be impatient. We only need to stabilize the situation and quickly integrate the Third Prince’s power. There’s no need to do anything else.” Gurdan cursed in his heart, “pig brain.” The First Prince was already the biggest winner, yet he was still haggling over the reward for the hunt.
Could it be he wanted to rebel?
Tetumtan is not a fool. How could he reward you and the Eldest Princess?
Even if the Sixth Princess, Lia, were not here, today’s reward would not have fallen into the First Prince’s hands.
