Chapter 1734: Condition!

Translator: Lonelytree

As soon as Lin Yuelan finished speaking, everyone present was dumbfounded!

Miss Zhou?

Who was Miss Zhou?

Wasn’t the woman in front of him Princess Linglong, Xiao Jingyu?

How did it become Miss Zhou?

Or perhaps this Princess Linglong was actually a replacement from the Black Cloud Kingdom. She was not Xiao Jingyu at all, but another Miss Zhou?!

However, even so, she was still the Princess Linglong of the Black Clouds Kingdom.

So what if she was Miss Zhou? She was Princess Linglong of the Black Cloud Kingdom.

Of course, this was what everyone present thought.

However, as the party involved, Xiao Jingyu... Zhou Wenya’s expression changed drastically the moment Lin Yuelan called out her true identity.

Then, she quickly calmed down and sneered at Lin Yuelan.” Hehe, Lin Yuelan, what are you talking about? I’m Princess Linglong of the Black Cloud Kingdom, Xiao Jingyu. As for Miss Zhou, who is she?”

At this point, she changed the topic and threatened fiercely,” Cut the crap and let me go. Otherwise, I won’t be polite. In any case, at most, 1 will die.”

When Lin Yuelan heard her denying her true identity, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. Then, she sneered and said,” Hehe, Eldest Miss Zhou, you should know very well who Miss Zhou is.” At the same time, she did not wait for Zhou Wenya to respond directly and said,” You can say that Miss

Zhou is you. You are Miss Zhou, Zhou Wenya!’

As soon as Lin Yuelan mentioned Zhou Wenya’s name, the entire place fell silent. The atmosphere suddenly became rather strange.

Zhou Wenya... Although it had been almost three years since the incident, everyone still remembered this name.

This was because Zhou Wenya was the eldest daughter of the Zhou family of Noble Consort Zhou’s maiden family. She was once the capital’s most beautiful and talented woman.

However, she was born into the wrong Zhou family and was unfortunately implicated. She died.

The beauty of a generation had become a cup of yellow soil.

But now, the sudden appearance of the eldest daughter of the Zhou family had clearly shocked everyone.

“Zhou...Zhou Wenya?” Yuwen Xuhong was even more shocked,” How is this possible?”

Even Emperor Yuwen Longyan was surprised. He looked at Lin Yuelan in confusion and pointed at Zhou Wenya.” Girl, you said that she’s Zhou Wenya, the eldest daughter of Zhou Dehong, the former eldest daughter of the Zhou family?”

Yuwen Longyan was really angry. He cursed,” Bastard! 1 think you’re really stubborn!”

Then, he looked at Zhou Wenya and said,” Alright, Princess Linglong, I’ll let you go! However, let go of my imperial grandson first!”

Zhou Wenya sneered.” Your Majesty, do you think I’m a three-year-old child? If I let go of the eldest grandprince now, would I still have the life to walk out of this throne room?”

“l am the ruler, and my words are golden!” Yuwen Longyan said sharply,” If 1 say I’ll let you go, I’ll let you go. I won’t go back on my word! What else do you want?”

After Zhou Wenya heard this, she pondered for a moment. Then, she looked at

Lin Yuelan and suddenly revealed a smug expression. She then said,” Your Majesty, 1 want Princess Lin Yuelan’s promise. As long as she promises to let me go and not pursue anything that happened before, I’ll let the imperial grandprince go,”

Her words were obviously meant to sow discord.

She was telling everyone that she didn’t trust the emperor, but she wanted Lin Yuelan’s promise. In other words, Lin Yuelan’s prestige was higher than the emperor’s.

This was a great taboo in the relationship between monarch and minister.

Therefore, the moment she said that, everyone’s expression changed. Then, they looked at Lin Yuelan with suspicion.

Yuwen Longyan looked at Lin Yuelan and asked with a slight frown,” Little girl, what do you think?”

Lin Yuelan’s expression changed. She said coldly,” Alright! I promise you, Princess Linglong, that as long as you let His Royal Highness go, I won’t pursue anything that happened before!”

As soon as Lin Yuelan finished speaking, the expressions of the officials present became somewhat interesting. However, most of them held back and focused on saving the eldest grandprince.

After receiving Lin Yuelan’s promise, Zhou Wenya’s expression became much more relaxed.

She knew that Lin Yuelan was a woman of her word.

Since she said that she would not pursue the matter, it meant that her life was no longer in danger.

Zhou Wenya smiled and said,” Princess Guguo, 1 have your promise. Your Majesty, the Crown Prince, and all the civil and military officials present are witnesses.”

Then, she looked at Yuwen Longyan and said,” Your Majesty, please prepare a carriage at the palace gate. Prepare 100,000 taels of silver and place them in the carriage. As for the imperial grandprince,” she looked at him with some disdain and continued,” After I get on the carriage, I’ll let the imperial grandprince send me out of the city and let him return safely!”

“You...” Yuwen Longyan was furious to be threatened like this, but he could only listen to her since his grandson was in her hands. He said sternly,” Alright! I’ll immediately get someone to prepare everything! Men, prepare a carriage and a hundred thousand taels of silver from the Huitong Trading

Company.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Someone immediately received the order.

Hearing this arrangement, Zhou Wenya’s face flashed with a trace of joy. This way, she relaxed her guard and the dagger that was restraining Yuwen Xuhong also deviated slightly.

Right at this moment, Lin Yuelan’s eyes flashed. She immediately seized the opportunity and lashed out with her whip..
