The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

Chapter 770 Give her some more time?

Ji Wuxin's soft whisper was drowned out by the sound of the flowing water in the dark river, and even she herself could not hear it clearly.

"I have about six months left, and that's enough time to get what I need to do."

As these words fell, Ji Wuxin closed her eyes again.

Of course, no one knew what happened inside this underground palace except for Ji Wuxin's personal maid, Song Zhaoruo.

The struggle for the throne among the nine princes has finally given those princes their chance; how could they give up so easily?

The faction led by the Fifth Prince has begun to secretly mobilize troops.

The slogan they publicly proclaimed was that the Crown Prince had been assassinated and the royal family was in danger, so they had to raise an army to defend the royal dignity!

"Lord Ni, have you gone to see the princess? What did she say? Did she agree?"

Led by Wu Quan, several princes arrived at Ni Dahong's house with an air of nonchalance and sat down in the reception room. One of the princes, a burly man, called out to Ni Dahong.

This is the Fourth Prince, Wu Ba. He looks like the kind of person who is strong but simple-minded, all brawn and no brains, and only knows how to charge into battle.

Wu Ba had long been bribed by Wu Quan and had become Wu Quan's trusted henchman.

However, this fourth prince usually acts very arrogantly and treats human life as worthless, so he spends most of his time in the army. This time, he rushed back to the capital to help his brother Wu Quan seize power because of Ji Wuxin's sudden death.

Although Ni Dahong was in charge of the Dali Temple, he didn't dare to utter a single word in front of the Fourth Prince.

At this moment, faced with Wu Ba's reprimand, Ni Dahong trembled and stammered for a long time but could not answer!

"Lord Ni, I am speaking to you. Why are you not responding? Is there something you dislike about me?"

Wu Ba's face instantly darkened. At the same time, he stood up and walked towards Ni Dahong. The aura he released was enough to scare anyone into fainting.

The other princes remained silent. Some were eating dried fruit and pastries, some were drinking tea, and some were chatting. They seemed to have long been accustomed to Wu Ba's behavior.

As Ni Dahong watched Wu Ba press closer and closer, unable to withstand Wu Ba's imposing aura, he couldn't help but retreat.

"Princess Ping said to give her some more time, and she will reply to the princes later..."

There was nothing he could do; they wanted an answer, so Ni Dahong could only say that.

"Give her some more time?"

Wu Ba sneered, "I think she's making a fool of us! How long does she need? A year? Two years? Go find her again and tell her that your brothers can't wait any longer, three days at most! If she doesn't give us an answer in three days, then your brothers will defend the honor of the Great Jing royal family in their own way!"

“Lord Ni, my fourth brother is a bit rash and impulsive in his words and actions, but please understand. Our royal family is currently in a precarious situation, and extraordinary measures are needed. A country cannot be without a ruler for a day. Please convey this message to us as soon as possible, as my brothers are worried about my safety.”

Wu Quan said calmly, as if he had the whole situation under control.

After saying that, Wu Quandu led the way and turned to leave.

Ni Dahong was so angry that his face turned ashen, but he had nothing to say.

After all, he was a prince, and the struggle for the throne was his family matter; he really had no right to interfere.

In the darkness of the Dali Temple, several groups of people recorded the scene that had just unfolded.

Kyoto, in its grandeur, still appears calm and peaceful.

But in reality, a turbulent storm was brewing beneath the surface!

Who is whose prey? To this day, it remains shrouded in mystery!

……

Youzhou Commandery.

Cliffside City.

"Is everything arranged? You must have been very busy these past few days?"

Jia Daoshi found Shen Li, who was still busy, put his arm around her, and asked with a smile.
