The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1982

Chapter 1982: Chapter 989: PDA (Xinyang vs. Xiao Ji Extra)

After taking the antidote, Xiao Ming finally woke up on a dark, windy night.

However, what baffled him was that the large Military Camp was completely empty, not a single person in sight!

... Ridiculous.

Could it be that the Dongyi people had already taken the border pass? Had they killed all the soldiers in the General camp?

Surely the Military Officers couldn’t have all left the camp.

Such a precedent had never occurred throughout history.

Just as he was perplexed, a strong shadow swiftly slipped into his barracks, picked him up along with his bedding, and dashed out of the Military Camp with great speed, whooshing away!

It was Long Yi.

It was then they remembered they had left the poisoned Xiao Ming behind in the camp.

He came back to take Xiao Ming away.

Long Mengmeng wasn’t an eavesdropping, bad Dragon Shadow Guard; he had stuffed cotton in his ears!

...

The soldiers in the Military Camp wandered outside for three whole days before they were allowed back in. During those three days, unable to return and not willing to roam aimlessly outside, they went to raid Dongyi.

Chang Jing was fiercely battling the forces of the Dongyi crown prince when a formidable flood of Armor surged forth irresistibly.

Just as Chang Jing raised his sword to stab the second prince of Dongyi, someone knocked away his weapon.

He turned and saw it was one of his own men.

He couldn’t erupt in anger.

Chang Jing’s face turned dark.

Xiao Ming’s poison was removed, Xiao En and Xiao Ze also succeeded in escaping, leaving Dongyi without any means to restrain Zhan Country. The officers, holding in their frustration over several days and being woken up at midnight and chased out of the camp, unleashed it all on Dongyi.

Dongyi was defeated soundly and soon surrendered.

The Dongyi people watched the Zhan Country army, which was clearly ready to return triumphantly, thinking: we’ve already surrendered, signed the oppressive treaties, so why aren’t you leaving?

The officers were suffering silently.

...

Xiao Ji was injured; although he took medicine from the Saintess Hall and recovered quite well, there were still some effects from overexerting himself.

The wound was badly torn, not to mention it got infected with a cold.

Princess Xinyang wasn’t much better off; she was the one who passed the cold to Xiao Ji.

...

A great victory at the border pass.

Xiao Ji released the Dongyi king back, but he himself couldn’t hold out and soon fell gravely ill, passing away before he could issue a decree to pass on the throne.

After external troubles, Dongyi started internal conflicts.

The princes quarreled fiercely, but the final result surprised everyone—the new king was actually the Dongyi’s saintess.

And her king consort was a noble son from Zhan Country.

"What a brilliant plan, Qin Fengwan." In the carriage returning to the Capital City, Xiao Ji crossed his arms and looked at Princess Xinyang leisurely.

Who says women are inferior to men?

Qin Fengwan wasn’t interested in politics; otherwise, she could have been a regency princess.

That day, everyone thought Qin Fengwan had drugged the saintess, but in fact, Qin Fengwan clearly presented two choices to the saintess: one was to be drugged and forced to submit to her; the other was to negotiate a deal where both parties would benefit.

When Qin Fengwan offered to exchange a Dongyi king’s throne for a chance to marry Xiao Ji, the saintess thought Qin Fengwan had gone crazy.

Qin Fengwan wasn’t crazy, she simply thought this man was worth it. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

And she made this offer based on a multifaceted consideration: the saintess had ambition and capability, no matter which prince ascended the throne in the future, none could withstand a rebellion from the Saintess Hall.
