The Whole Dynasty Spoils the Tyrant's Beloved Youngest Daughter-Chapter 453 - 449: If You Don’t Want to Die, Shut Up

Chapter 453: Chapter 449: If You Don’t Want to Die, Shut Up

"Ah Ning, don’t pity me..." Jun Yu rubbed Jun Ning’s head and said calmly, "I am not as smart as you, nor as decisive. I only managed to spread a plague among Bei Xia’s war horses, and I was scared to death."

"Now that everything is done, and I could have left, I was still discovered. I... I am truly not as good as you. Therefore, the position of Crown Prince is most suitable for you. Do not doubt it, and do not refuse it."

"I know you love freedom, you love to play, but for the future of our Eastern Chu Kingdom, please restrain yourself and bear the responsibility you should bear."

No wonder they played together since childhood, even after years apart, they are still like they were back then.

Jun Ning’s hair, Jun Yu would ruffle it at will, not fearing that it would mess up or make Jun Ning angry.

"What exactly happened?" The hair in front of Jun Ning’s forehead was already tousled. She reached out to grab Jun Yu’s hand to stop him, then she tidied her hair and said, "What do you mean it was already done, but then discovered?"

"Ah... it’s a long story..."

"Then cut the long story short, Ah Ning wants to hear it."

"Alright!"

Jun Yu exhaled several heavy breaths, then told Jun Ning that long ago, he had used his identity as a coachman to mix into Bei Xia’s military horse farm, feeding the horses daily and finding a way to spread the plague when he had the chance.

Although he had never been a coachman and certainly didn’t look like one, with his fair skin and delicate features, looking more like a pampered young master from a wealthy family,

he worked hard to learn what a coachman should do, fulfilling the role better than being a prince.

The final result was good as well.

Everyone recognized his effort and thought he was a competent coachman who did great work.

He got to know all the coachmen in Bei Xia’s military horse farm and got along very well, eating, drinking, and having fun together.

Gradually, he became one of them.

He had even forgotten his once noble identity, fulfilling his role as a coachman peacefully.

In a situation where everyone was unguarded towards him, he finally found an opportunity to introduce the source of the plague into the military horse farm’s horses.

How exactly did he do it?

He gave the military horse farm’s warhorses a trough used by a horse with the plague. He did it very cautiously and was not discovered.

After the few horses used the trough, they soon caught the plague and died within less than a month.

At first, no one took it seriously.

Horses also undergo the natural process of living and dying, and at most, it’s just that a few horses died suddenly; after a while, foals will be born, and the numbers will return to normal.

It was a normal phenomenon, nothing to make a fuss about.

But——

This inexplicable death did not stop; instead, it intensified, sweeping across the entire military horse farm, where dozens of warhorses died daily.

The officials at the horse farm then realized there was a problem, and it was a big one.

They started looking for doctors, tracing the origins, and investigating the true reason behind the horses’ deaths.

Eventually, the findings corresponded with their suspicions: there was an outbreak of plague among the horses.

And a plague doesn’t originate from nowhere; there must be an impetus, or someone maliciously brought the source of the plague into the military horse farm, causing it to occur.

The officials at the horse farm, to avoid being held accountable and to save their positions, began examining horse feed, interrogating the horse caretakers day and night, asking why the plague had occurred.

The methods they used could only be described as deranged.

Several innocent coachmen were beaten to death, the source of horse feed was changed repeatedly and rigorously inspected in all aspects.

When it was almost Jun Yu’s turn for interrogation, he was already prepared to make a quick escape.

Since his objective had already been achieved, staying would be pointless; leaving immediately was his best option.

However, plans can’t keep up with changes.

That night at midnight, after packing his things and about to leave, he encountered someone named Zhao Yu, one of his best friends at the horse farm.

Zhao Yu had been interrogated the previous day, his leg was crippled, and he fainted multiple times. After waking up, he spent all the silver he had to redeem himself.

He shared Jun Yu’s mindset, determined to escape at all costs.

Because he had a pair of newborn twins to care for, he couldn’t afford to die. If he died, how would his family manage?

Jun Yu was aware of Zhao Yu’s family situation. Knowing Zhao Yu wished to escape, he didn’t remain indifferent and instead decided to help him.

Zhao Yu was very grateful to him at that time. As Jun Yu carried him out of the horse farm, Zhao Yu kept saying, "Ah Yu, once we get out, I must treat you to a drink."

Jun Yu responded with a polite smile, "Alright, it’s a deal." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Zhao Yu, with his injured leg, could only rely on Jun Yu to carry him out of the military horse farm.

But accidents happen so unexpectedly.

Just when they were two or three hundred meters away from escaping the military horse farm, Zhao Yu accidentally stumbled in a rough patch and groaned, attracting the patrolling guards.

How they desperately continued to flee afterward, Jun Yu couldn’t remember. He only remembered that Zhao Yu grew more panicked and failed to cooperate with him, even becoming a burden.

When they climbed over a wall, Zhao Yu failed to hold onto his hand and suddenly fell down.

Jun Yu had to climb back over the other side of the wall to reach Zhao Yu.

It was at this moment that the patrolling guards caught up.

Jun Yu single-handedly knocked out three guards, winning another brief chance to escape with Zhao Yu.

He helped Zhao Yu up and was ready to start running again.

But suddenly, Zhao Yu lost it, screaming and shouting about wanting to live and not wanting to die.

His shouting not only attracted all the surrounding guards but also the archers.

In a hurry, Jun Yu said, "Zhao Yu, if you don’t want to die, shut up."

Zhao Yu, seemingly unable to grasp his meaning, mistakenly believed Jun Yu intended to abandon him. He shouted furiously, "Ah Yu, if you leave me behind, I won’t let you get away with it."

Hearing this, Jun Yu momentarily froze.

In the brief second of his hesitation, the guards and archers caught up with them; surrounded, Jun Yu and Zhao Yu.

"Who dares to run away? Are you tired of living?"

"Crouch down and don’t move, or my arrows will turn you into sieves."

No, there was still a chance for escape.

As long as they jumped over the wall in front of them.

Jun Yu hadn’t given up on escaping; he grabbed Zhao Yu and attempted to flee.

Zhao Yu, however, held his head and started yelling again.

"Do not kill me, do not kill me, I’ll talk, I’ll say everything..."

"After it was Ah Yu who changed the horses’ troughs, the warhorses began to die one after another. It was Ah Yu, he spread the plague, I saw it..."
