I'm a princess, so what if I have three husbands?

Chapter 46 Lantern Festival: Who Would You Choose?

"Sister, how could I betray you? Unless you betray us first!"

She slapped his hand away, her expression somewhat cold.

Su Fengling stopped pushing her luck, took a step back, revealed two tiger teeth, and smiled innocently.

"Sister, I heard there will be a lantern festival in a few days. I wonder which prince consort you will be taking with you to stroll across the flower bridge then."

Just as Zhongli Yueluo was about to speak, Su Fengling put her finger to her lips: "It's not too late for you to say it later, sister."

With a wave of her hand, the door opened, and He Yuhuan tumbled headfirst into the room.

With her short legs kicking, she glared at him resentfully before her gaze fell on the two red marks on Zhongli Yueluo's neck.

A golden mace flew from her waist, growing larger as it flew into He Yuhuan's hand, pointing directly at Su Fengling's face.

A strong gust of wind blew his hair all over.

"What did you do to your master!"

Su Fengling gripped the plum blossom dart and pushed away her golden mace.

"Old...He Yuhuan, this is just a romantic gesture between husband and wife, you wouldn't understand."

He almost blurted out "old monster" again, but he stopped himself, smiled faintly, and turned away.

Seeing that Zhongli Yueluo seemed unharmed, He Yuhuan put the golden mace back into his waistband.

She walked over, pouting, and said, "Master, is that really true? I don't understand."

"It's okay, don't worry about him."

He Yuhuan said "oh" and sat down to the side. At this moment, two more people came to deliver messages, and they were very respectful.

She hadn't even had a chance to settle in before another message arrived.

I went outside and listened; it turned out to be someone sent by Yin Manling.

It looks like a fox or rat, which is annoying to look at.

The messenger squinted his beady eyes: "The Queen says that the Princess is newly married, and this year's lantern festival will be held outside Taiyuan City, between the Heartless River and the Ghost Sorrow Abyss."

"Although the princes-in-law cannot return to their hometowns, they can still look out over the border to soothe their homesickness."

Listen to this, you're thinking of her, but holding a lantern festival on the border of the three mountains will definitely require more manpower to enforce martial law.

And now, she controls most of the army.

Could Yin Manling be after the military power she holds?

"Thank you, Mother. Tell them I already know and I will inform the Silver Deer Guard to place a state of emergency in the area. Thank you for your help."

The messenger left and went to Yuanyu Pavilion, where Zhongli Yu lived.

Zhong Liyu was in a good mood and enjoying a drink when she saw the messenger: "What did Mother say!"

"The Queen said she would make her move during the lantern festival, at which time the Demon King would suddenly fall seriously ill."

"Moreover, it requires the Blood Demon's secret blood-changing technique to save her. Do you think the Second Princess might try every possible way to open the Northern Demon Mountain?"

"But that wretched girl won't believe it so easily!"

"The Queen has her own way of making her believe it; the Queen also said that since you have reached an agreement with the young king of the Zheng clan, then let the Gongshu family start with the Fengling Ghost Clan."

"Yes, I know. Please give my regards to my mother."

She lightly covered half of her face with her fan, her fox-like eyes narrowed.

A cold glint appeared in her eyes, and she waved her hand: "Go and invite Young Master Gongshu here!"

The maidservant beside him never said much, and went to invite Gongshu Liang.

Gongshu Liang has now become the object of their clan's secret ridicule.

They laughed at him for working hard for so many years, only to end up with nothing.

Upon receiving Zhong Liyu's message, he suppressed the resentment in his hawk-like eyes.

He then adopted his usual calm and composed expression and followed the maid who delivered the message to Yuanyu Pavilion.

“Ayu.”

"What's wrong? You don't seem very happy?"

He casually placed his hand on his neck, his fox-like eyes narrowed, revealing a teasing smile.

"Let's not talk about that. How are things on your end?"

He casually put his arm around her waist and sat down on the stool, with Zhong Liyu sitting on his lap.

Her fair fingers lightly touched his brow: "Mother is already preparing to take action. How are things going with the Ghost Clan on your end?"

"Don't worry, as long as you give the order, Ghost Sorrow Abyss will definitely rebel."

He slowly moved his hand up her waist to her back, his eyes cold as he spoke.

"I still don't quite trust the Zheng Clan, but it doesn't matter. It can be a good way to sow discord. I'll see how Zhongli Yueluo balances the three of them!"

Gongshu Liang patted her shoulder, a smile playing on his lips: "Ayu is right."

His eyes, however, were looking in another direction, filled with resentment and hatred.

Zhongli Yu also knew about Gongshu Liang's resentment, because Zhongli Yueluo was originally completely in his hands.

Now that his prey has escaped the eagle's clutches, how could he be content with that?

"Alright, go and inform the people on the Ghost Clan to prepare. Mother said we should make our move during the Lantern Festival."

"Let them enjoy their last few joyful days!"

He gripped her shoulders tightly, leaving several red marks.

Finally, he let go, stood up, and hooked her chin to look into her eyes.

Both of them had desire in their eyes—the desire to conquer the world!

The two exchanged a smile, knowing they were both merely using each other.

He straightened his sleeves: "I won't stay here today."

"Ah."

After Gongshu Liang left, he immediately sent a message to the spies of the Ghost Clan.

He couldn't wait to see the Ghost Sorrow Abyss on the border of the Ghost Clan descend into chaos.

A hint of bloodlust and greed flashed in his eyes, then he gritted his teeth and uttered four words: "Zhongli Yueluo!"

Why not just stay by his side and be a puppet?

She insisted on breaking free from his control; it was all her fault that he forced her to do it!

Zhongli Yuelu felt a chill run down her spine at that moment.

I looked up at the dark sky again; the sunlight was no longer visible.

A sudden gust of cold wind arose, a sign that a storm was brewing.

It was springtime, but it felt like winter. She quickly rubbed her shoulders and closed the window.

Then he wrote a summoning spell in the air, and the Silver Deer Guard Captain appeared outside the room.

"Why has the princess summoned your men?"

"Come in and talk."

He entered respectfully, stood to the side, and didn't even look up at her.

However, his gaze kept falling on He Yuhuan, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

"At the lantern festival in a few days, there's a segment where a princess and her consort stroll across a flower bridge. Remember to set up the flower bridge far away from the Heartless River."

"The princess summoned me, but I'm afraid it wasn't to discuss this matter."

His intuition was very sharp, and he recently noticed that the Demon Lord seemed to be acting strangely.

"Yes, besides that, Father Sovereign is also going to the Lantern Tower with the Queen. We must be careful to see if they are doing anything underhanded in the Lantern Tower!"

"The Queen?" He squinted. He was a personal guard under the Demon Lord, and he rarely paid attention to the Queen.

"Since my father trusts you and gave you to me, I will naturally trust you as well."

"I suspect Yin Manling secretly drugged the Emperor's father. I'm afraid that on the day of the Lantern Festival, she will make him appear in front of all the people of West Demon Mountain..."

The Silver Deer Guard captain frowned. The princess's words were completely inconsistent with her previous behavior.

The Demon Lord sent him to protect her precisely because he feared she would act the same way as before.

In retrospect, it seems that the Demon Lord's actions were unnecessary.
