Your Highness Yh Chapter 85 (2/2)

In addition, he contacted the old counsellors who had always been very supportive of him. Slowly, he was going to control everything and replace Du Hao as the future Emperor.

Du Ye’s plan was half successful. He was only one step away from achieving his dream. But he was too careless with his last step. He thought he was the only one who had undergone tremendous change. He failed to realized that Du Hao had also matured and changed from his own experiences.

The reason why he lost was because he had overestimated himself and underestimated his opponent.

By the time Du Hao’s troops had arrived into the Capital, Du Ye had already secretly fled from the Palace.

Perhaps, he was bitter and planned to get revenge; but even if he wanted to, the chances were low. As of now, his dream of becoming the Emperor will only remain a dream.

After hearing Lian Feng’s explanation, Lin Shan was utterly shocked: “So are you telling me this was an act the entire time? You and the Crown Prince planned this all along?”

“Yes.” Lian Feng nodded.

If Lin Shan had the ability, she would pounce on Lian Feng and bite him to death.

It turned out she was tricked by the brothers! What a waste of my tears! They’re shameless. Shameless, I tell you!

Lian Feng could tell Lin Shan’s complexion wasn’t looking so good. He tried to relieve the situation: “I know I should have told you this beforehand, but Du Ye is too meticulous. We were worried any mistakes on our parts would ruin all our previous efforts. That’s why….”

“So you guys decided to use me to trick Du Ye into thinking that you were truly dead so that he would have his guard down?” Lin Shan looked like she was ready to kill someone.

Lian Feng remained silent but nodded his head.

Lin Shan was so furious that she nearly leaped off the horse: “Stop! Stop! I’m not going any further. I’m breaking up with you!”

They went too far. They schemed everything while she remained clueless and cried hysterically. She even thought of committing suicide if Lian Feng was dead. She was more embarra.s.sing than a crown. She’s not going to forgive! No!

Lin Shan rolled off Wu Ying’s back and stormed off. She muttered angrily: “Don’t even try to stop me. I might as well go back and marry Ji Bai Yu instead….”

Before she could finish talking, her wrist was firmly grasped. Then, she was pushed back against a tree. Lian Feng was leaning on her and his eyes looked cold: “What did you say?”

Originally, Lin Shan was just venting. But now that Lian Feng was glaring at her, she felt like she was a tiger that was stuck. Now, she had no guts left and started to stutter: “I-I…. I’m going to break up with you…to go…. marry..Ji Bai Yu….”

Lian Feng’s face became darker and darker. His dark pupils stared into her soul: “It was wrong of me to lie to you, but I will not allow you to break up with me. And definitely not marry Ji Bai Yu. You understand?”

This was an apology? How come I feel like I’m being threatened? …..Lin Shan felt hopeless. Did she find herself a bad man? Within a night, her loyal man was becoming more like an Emperor. At this moment, she had a bad feeling she was going to be controlled by this guy for life.

The truth was, she was already controlled.

*In the past, it was common for people to stab their food/drink with a silver needle to detect if it was poisoned. If the needle turned dark, it would imply that the food/drink was poisoned.
