My Princess and Crown Prince Are Revived-Chapter 63 - Night Raid on the National Treasury

“Miss, an invitation from the Princess Residence has arrived, inviting you to visit tomorrow.

They also said, if you want anyone else to come, just bring them along.”

Really?

Hearing this, Chu You’s depressed mood somewhat improved.

She hurriedly took the invitation and then loudly ordered, “Someone, get me the best outfit.

Tomorrow I am going to attend a banquet at the Princess Residence.”

“Youyou, you are confused, how can you go out in this state?”

At this time, Lady Jiang arrived, speaking sternly.

Chu You quickly clung to her hand, coquettishly pleading, “Mother, this is an opportunity.

Those lowlifes in the capital city look down on our social status; if we could use this opportunity to show everyone that we are close to the Princess Residence, who would dare to look down on us?”

“Youyou, your father has warned us, we don’t know which prince the Princess will eventually marry, getting too close to her is not beneficial,” Jiang Shi still seemed worried.

“Mother, rest assured, I know what I’m doing, I won’t mess up father’s big plans,” Chu You huffed.

“What about your face…”

Jiang Shi, unable to persuade her, could only remind Chu You about her face.

Hearing this, Chu You scratched the wounds on her face again, then muttered, “At that time, I will apply more rouge to my face and wear a veil.

It will definitely be fine.”

Jiang Shi frowned, unable to persuade further, and could only softly remind, “Tomorrow when you go, remember to bring your two cousins; that way, you will have some company.”

Upon hearing this, Chu You pursed her lips.

She was going to attend the Princess’s banquet, so why would she need to bring people from the Jiang Family!

Humph, the people of the Jiang Family are acting high and mighty now.

Back in the day, the Jiang Family was nothing, but after mother married into the Chu Family, they also gained some government posts by leveraging this connection.

Last year, fueled by some unknown stroke of luck,

her aunt had caught the Emperor’s eye and was conferred the title of ‘Talented Lady’

Though she had the lowest status among the Emperor’s many women, she still possessed a title, and the Jiang Family rose with the tide.

Seeing Chu You’s reluctance, Jiang Shi lowered her voice and said, “We’re all family.

Tomorrow, many aristocratic sons will be attending the banquet.

If you bring your cousins, and if a marriage opportunity arises, it would benefit us as well.”

“But, but…”

“There are no buts.

If you don’t bring someone from the Jiang Family, would you rather bring those lowborns your concubine mothers gave birth to?” Jiang Shi said sternly.

Hearing this, Chu You became even more upset.

Of course not!

“Mother, I understand.

Tomorrow I will take my cousins to the Princess Residence,” Chu You said sullenly.

…

Late at night, at the Imperial Palace.

Yan Lian and Yan Lin were patrolling with a squad of the Imperial Army.

The night was serene, extremely quiet, even giving a chilling sensation.

Yan Lian looked back at the Imperial Army, feeling helpless.

The Emperor distrusted the princes and was concerned that the power of the Imperial Army in the hands of one prince could lead to him seizing power in the future.

Thus, he had made a rule that a few princes would take turns managing the Imperial Army each month.

“The Emperor has relieved his mind, but hasn’t he thought about how troublesome this is for us?” he muttered under his breath.

In the past, the Imperial Army was entirely under the Crown Prince’s control, which indeed was not ideal.

But now, this rotating method could lead to instability within the Imperial Army.

“It’s the Emperor’s command; just execute it,” Yan Lin said coldly.

“Alright,” Yan Lian deflated.

In fact, he was extremely resentful, not just because the Emperor was suspicious of them, but also because…

he really didn’t want to patrol.

The capital city was very cold at night, and the Imperial Palace, as a place that had buried countless lonely souls and ghosts, was extremely eerie.

He had no choice but to call his eighth brother to patrol with him.

On usual days, at this time, he would be at the brothel listening to songs and holding beauties; why should he be out here in the cold?

Seeing that his eighth brother did not speak to him, Yan Lian pursed his lips and continued, “Brother, tomorrow the Princess of the Nanduan Kingdom is holding a banquet in her residence, inviting many people.

I heard several princes got invitations, but I didn’t receive one.

Did you?”

Hearing Yan Lian’s words, Yan Lin’s dark pupils slightly darkened, and his aura turned cold.

Seeing his reaction, Yan Lian shrugged, no need to hear an answer to know that the eighth brother definitely hadn’t been invited.

“This Princess seems to really have a grudge against just the two of us,” he couldn’t help but complain aloud.

“Also, brother, you said her identity is sensitive, and there are many eyes on her since she came to Yan Country.

Why does she still want to be so high-profile?

The identities of those assassins during the day haven’t even been figured out yet!”

Yan Lian kept on complaining, but Yan Lin simply didn’t deign to respond to him.

Just then, Yan Lin’s expression sharpened.

“Follow me,” he commanded sternly.

What?

Yan Lian had no idea what was happening; he hurriedly caught up, and ahead was the location of the National Treasury.

The Imperial Army behind was momentarily stunned before they slowly reacted.

“It’s bad, it seems someone has broken into the National Treasury!

Hurry, gather everyone, and surround the National Treasury.”
