Unbridled Medical Expert Consort: Demon Prince, Be Good-Chapter 90.1 - Conceited Nonsense
Chapter 90a: Conceited Nonsense
Sit on the throne? Empress?
She didn’t expect that Nangong Chen, who always appeared to be a spoiled prince, actually said such a wildly ambitious thing to her. Moreover, not avoiding the topic at all. Luo Qing Luan immediately raised her guard. Without getting angry at the way he made a pass at her within these words, Luo Qing Luan instead intensely felt a crisis coming from Nangong Chen’s intention.
Pretending that she didn’t understand, Luo Qing Luan frowned and said, “Fifth Prince, have you lost your mind? The crown prince is the oldest prince, how can you say these things? Moreover, His Majesty is healthy and strong and is at the prime of his life. You want to sit on the throne? Heh heh……forgive this very inconsequential girl for not understanding these things.”
The corners of Nangong Chen’s mouth curved up as he laughed. “Sister Qing Luan is exceptionally intelligent. How can you not understand? But since you said that, I also understand that you don’t dare to believe me. Therefore, today, This Prince especially looked for you to properly tell you.”
“Are you serious?” Seeing that he’s unwilling to give up, Luo Qing Luan’s expression darkened, “Fifth Prince, please don’t tease me anymore. Men may want to struggle for power and profit, but that has nothing to do with unrelated women like me, who don’t know anything. You had better look for someone else.”
“Apparently, if I don’t explain everything clearly today, you seriously won’t speak to me.”
Nangong Chen exposed a calm and unhurried expression, continuing confidently, “Just based on how you’ve recently obtained so much of my Imperial Mother’s favor, Qing Luan, merely based on this point alone, I’m treating you like a precious asset. In the past, I’ve always misunderstood you, that was because I was as blind as a bat. I ask for your forgiveness. If it wasn’t for a misunderstanding, you would’ve become my Fifth Prince’s consort by now. How can we still be so unfamiliar with each other right now?”
In regards to Luo Qing Luan, he truly had too many regrets!
In the past, he thought that she was utterly vulgar, love-struck and stupid. He didn’t expect that everything was just her concealing herself. Her purpose was naturally to avoid Qing Shuang and her mother’s schemes. In regards to these things, Nangong Chen was noncommittal. In order to strive for favor between women, a bit of acting was of no great consequence. These little tricks didn’t count for much.
But since he knew that Luo Qing Luan was exceptionally intelligent, in merely a short time, her sharpness had been revealed as she obtained his Imperial Mother’s favor. This kind of gorgeous appearance and intelligent woman, whose origins and family background wasn’t bad, was truly the best candidate to help him achieve his aspirations.
“Isn’t Fifth Prince forgetting something?” Luo Qing Luan forcibly suppressed the disgust in her heart and said out loud, “There are ten plus days before I’m marrying the Prince of Chu, Nalan Ye. You’re saying these things to me right now, aren’t you afraid he’ll find out?”
Not caring about getting dirty, Nangong Chen not only didn’t worry, he even took a step forward instead, chuckling ‘heh heh’ he answered, “You naturally won’t say anything. I’m confident of that.”
Luo Qing Luan’s eyes shined coldly and said chillingly, “Why won’t I say anything?”
She really didn’t know where Nangong Chen got his confidence. Today, he shockingly said these kinds of things to her like he was losing his mind. There had to be a problem.
“Since I dare to say these things, I naturally did not make these claims groundlessly. Although Sister Qing Luan will soon marry Nalan Ye, you still haven’t wed, after all! As far as you’re concerned, he is still an outsider. This Prince is willing to give you an even better future. You can think it over carefully.”
Nangong Chen fanned his folding fan gently, declaring confidently and proudly, “Since This Prince need you, there is no harm in my revealing to you some background. Don’t look at how I’m not favored by His Majesty right now. That’s merely because I haven’t put my mind to it, that’s all. During these twenty years, I have already schemed to no small extent. Regardless of whether it’s in the capital or in the imperial court, there are no small numbers of my people there. Moreover, Sister Qing Luan shouldn’t forget who my imperial consort mother is? And how my maternal family earns their living.”
How could Luo Qing Luan not know the answer to this series of immensely prideful statements, full of arrogance on display and self-confidence? His mother was Noble Consort Song, the only other woman His Majesty doted on besides Empress Wang. It’s just that it was unknown why the son His Majesty favored more was Noble Consort Song’s other son, Nangong Ting. He seemed to pay very little attention to Nangong Chen. Because of this, the situation where he was not favored came about.
Noble Consort Song’s maiden family members were imperial merchants, in charge of casting official currency. Even if they stuffed their pockets, His Majesty turned a blind eye to it. However, Luo Qing Luan absolutely didn’t believe that this was enough to show that Nangong Cheng could replace Nangong Qing’s position as crown prince.
Not saying a word, basically disinclined to say anything, Luo Qing Luan looked at Nangong Chen indifferently, to the point that her face displayed a bit of a sneer.
Nangong Chen’s complexion changed slightly. He’d said so much, yet didn’t expect that Luo Qing Luan surprisingly seemed as if she didn’t hear him. She didn’t ask for more information, nor did she question what he had said. This instead made him most unable to accept it. After thinking a bit, he asked again, “Qing Luan, This Prince already dug my heart out for you. As long as you’re willing to help me, once I become the emperor, I’ll definitely confer the position of empress on you, so that you can wallow in glory, splendor, wealth, and rank. Are you willing?”
“Why should I be willing?” Luo Qing Luan’s face deadpanned, as if she’s going to lose patience soon.
“Don’t tell me you don’t want to be an empress?” Nangong Chen said anxiously, “This Prince has really been sincere towards you. Qing Luan, how can you be so cold and detached? I know, in the past, there’s been some misunderstandings between us, but I guarantee that that will no longer be the case in the future. This Prince is giving you my heart and soul. As long as you agree, I can even divorce Luo Qing Shuang……”
Suddenly, Luo Qing Luan coldly interrupted him, “Such a cold and ruthless man. If Elder Sister knows that you treat her like this, I’m afraid she’ll throttle you to death at night one day!”
“You……” Hearing this, Nangong Chen’s underwent huge changes, recoiling a few steps in disbelief.
He didn’t expect that everything he said had been so sincere, yet Luo Qing Luan’s heart wasn’t moved in the slightest!
