CHAPTER 181: CHAPTER 171: YOUR HIGHNESS, WHY IS A STRANGE WOMAN STILL IN THE RESIDENCE?

Hearing this, Prime Minister Bai couldn’t help but retort, "Now, isn’t that supporting outsiders?" "Grandfather, I’m just telling the truth," Bai Susu replied with an innocent face.

Prime Minister Bai immediately burst into laughter upon hearing this, but the next moment, his smile faded as he said, "You are correct, the strength of the Crown Prince is undoubtedly unquestionable. Precisely because of this, the Emperor has entrusted the matters of the Wan Chao Assembly to the Eldest Prince and Third Prince alone, which is why I am worried."

Bai Susu couldn’t help but be moved, quickly understanding the situation.

"Grandfather is worried that the two of them are not up to the task? Embarrassing Da Qin?" Bai Susu asked.

The Wan Chao Assembly is a small climax in the original text, introducing several popular male supporting characters with strong abilities, as well as some female supporting characters.

Examples include Qi Hao, the Crown Prince of Qi Country, Prince Wan Yan Song of Xixia, Prince Zhao Sheng of Zhao Country, and the Western Princess Anata.

According to the protagonist’s law, after these characters appear, the males naturally become admirers under the skirts of the female lead, and the females become pursuers of the male lead.

And none of these characters are anything less than talented individuals.

Moreover, this time they come with ill intentions to pay tribute, so naturally, there will be all sorts of difficulties for Da Qin.

If it weren’t for Bai Wanwan, the reborn one, giving Feng Wuchen a heads-up cheat in advance... Feng Changge and Feng Wuchen combined really wouldn’t be their match.

...

Prime Minister Bai was comforted when Bai Susu immediately understood his worries and nodded with satisfaction.

"Indeed, while the Eldest Prince and Third Prince might be considered excellent among noble families, those coming this time are the cream of the crop from various countries. Relying on just the two of them, I’m afraid it will be hard to handle," Prime Minister Bai said.

These two have always seen Feng Qiwu flaunting his power in front of princes and princesses from other countries.

Yet they forgot that Feng Qiwu is able to suppress those people because he has the skills and ability.

But both the Eldest Prince and Third Prince mistakenly believe that what Feng Qiwu can achieve, they can achieve just as well.

This time, seeing that the Crown Prince was unwilling to receive the envoys participating in the Wan Chao Assembly, they immediately volunteered to take on the task.

Though the Emperor knew that suppressing those arrogant envoys was not an easy task, he still let them go ahead.

Bai Susu immediately said to Prime Minister Bai, "Grandfather, you worry too much. I believe they must have some confidence in themselves to have dared to take on this task. Think about it, if they mess this up, how furious would the Emperor be? They wouldn’t have agreed to it without considering these things."

In her mind, she thought: With Bai Wanwan around, this time, Feng Wuchen is bound to make a great impression.

Grandfather’s worries are actually unnecessary.

"What you say makes sense. Let’s wait and see. If things really don’t work out, the Crown Prince might have to personally step in," Prime Minister Bai said.

He then cleared his throat and said to Bai Susu, "When you see the Crown Prince again, remember to mention the Wan Chao Assembly to him. As the Crown Prince of a nation, he can’t ignore everything."

Bai Susu: ...

"Grandfather, why don’t you personally go and talk to the Crown Prince? What I say doesn’t have any effect," Bai Susu immediately replied.

Prime Minister Bai immediately widened his eyes, "Why wouldn’t what you say have any effect? If you act a little spoiled and ask him, wouldn’t that work? The Crown Prince is somewhat concerned about his face; he’ll definitely agree to your request."

His fiancée asking for his help and Feng Qiwu still refusing, would he still be a man?

Bai Susu immediately showed a complicated expression, looking at Prime Minister Bai, "Grandfather, are you asking me to use the beauty trap?"

"Cough, cough, what beauty trap? I didn’t mean that," Prime Minister Bai immediately said.

"I understand, Grandfather can rest assured that if the Eldest Prince and Third Prince indeed can’t handle it, I will go and ask the Crown Prince for help," Bai Susu said.

Prime Minister Bai immediately laughed, "That’s right, now Da Qin is different from before, with other countries watching like tigers. If the Wan Chao Assembly made us a laughingstock, Da Qin’s prestige might plummet." Saying this, Prime Minister Bai couldn’t help but sigh.

Once upon a time, when the Crown Prince was in good health, he played influential politics and was renowned across the world. Which country wasn’t envious of having such a strong, brave, and intelligent heir?

With someone like Feng Qiwu as the Crown Prince, as long as he doesn’t die, Da Qin is sure to progress further under his leadership.

So back then, who dared to truly offend Da Qin?

But the Emperor, for personal reasons, insists on destroying the Crown Prince.

Now look, the Crown Prince has been tormented into madness, and the ambitions of various countries are no longer suppressed.

This Wan Chao Assembly might be filled with life-threatening dangers.

But if he went directly to ask the Crown Prince to take action, it would surely arouse the Emperor’s suspicion, so it’s better for Susu to go and plead with the Crown Prince.

...

Meanwhile, in the Eastern Palace.

After interrogating Consort Li, Feng Qiwu said to Xiao Quanzi, "Go and call Witch Doctor Gu He, I have some matters to discuss with him."

Hearing this, Xiao Quanzi quickly nodded.

Li Cang, unaware, thought to himself with a sinking heart upon hearing that Feng Qiwu wanted to meet with Witch Doctor Gu He.

Could it be that the Crown Prince really has his eyes on this woman?

Thinking of this, Li Cang could not help but lower his voice and said to Xiao Quanzi, "Xiao Quanzi, what’s the meaning of the Crown Prince wanting to meet someone like this? The Crown Princess Consort is about to enter the palace, yet His Highness keeps a strange woman here, what does it mean?"

Hearing this, Xiao Quanzi couldn’t help but twitch his lips.

The next moment, he said to Li Cang, "What woman? He’s a man."

"A man?" Li Cang immediately widened his eyes, filled with disbelief.

That was clearly a delicate woman, how could it be a man?

"Indeed, so don’t worry. Is our Crown Prince such a fickle person? I’m off to bring the person over," Xiao Quanzi said quickly, afraid of wasting time and upsetting Feng Qiwu.

Li Cang immediately nodded upon hearing this and went to the woodshed to bring the person out.

Seeing that Li Cang had arranged for Witch Doctor Gu He to stay in the woodshed, Xiao Quanzi couldn’t help but secretly give him a thumbs up.

Truly worthy of Housekeeper Li.

The room arrangement is just great.

...

And Witch Doctor Gu He was somewhat uneasy when he heard that Feng Qiwu wanted to see him.

"I’ve already said everything, what else does he want from me?" Witch Doctor Gu He thought anxiously.

Could it be that guy wants to go back on his word and kill him?

If he knew it would be like this, he should have left long ago.

Hearing Witch Doctor Gu He’s words, Xiao Quanzi sternly said, "You’ll find out when you get there! When the Crown Prince asks you something, just answer truthfully, or else you’ll be in trouble."

"I understand," Witch Doctor Gu He immediately replied.

Now, as the meat on the chopping block, what other option did he have but to bow his head?

He could only hope that guy kept his promise and wouldn’t kill him.

After all, as long as Star Power exists in this world, he still has hope of returning to his peak.
