The Han Family is very optimistic and confident about its situation.
Gu Jiao curved her lips, raised her hand, and gently held Xiao Hen’s hand that was on the stone table. Then, under the Han Family’s ghostly gaze, she slowly said, "What I want is him, can you give him to me?"
The Han Family felt as if struck by lightning. Two big men... actually...
"Such scandalous behavior!"
She simply couldn’t bear to look anymore!
The Han Family turned her face away and said coldly, "The Little Princesses can stay with you! This is the most significant concession this palace can make! Otherwise, this palace doesn’t mind a life-or-death struggle with you!"
She knew very well that Shangguan Qing would never actually kill the Crown Prince, because if he did, she would definitely kill the Little Princesses.
But Shangguan Qing should also understand that she could never hand over the ruler.
The perfect balance that could be reached between both sides was exchanging the Little Princesses for the Crown Prince, nothing more.
Xiao Hen said, "Alright, have someone bring the Little Princesses over, and I’ll have my people bring the Crown Prince over. Don’t try any tricks; if more than five people come, I’ll kill the Crown Prince."
This was to guard against the Han Family sending troops to annihilate them.
Xiao Hen, cold and composed, said, "Anyway, if we die, the Little Princesses in your hands probably won’t survive either. At worst, we’ll make sure to quickly end the Little Princesses’ suffering before we die!"
One had to admit, Xiao Hen had thought it through thoroughly, and his words were quite persuasive.
Should it truly come to that, whether he would actually kill the Little Princesses was unimportant; making the Han Family believe he would was enough.
The Han Family indeed had plans to send troops to attack, but once again, the other side saw right through it.
Of the same age as the Ming County King, yet he calculated people’s hearts to such an extent.
He was truly a formidable young man.
The Han Family quietly instructed Xu Gao a few words, and Xu Gao nodded in agreement, "Yes, I will go and bring the Little Princesses over right away."
"And the Crown Prince?" The Han Family asked Xiao Hen.
Xiao Hen replied, "Once we see the Little Princesses, we will naturally bring the Crown Prince over."
At the third watch of the night.
Xu Gao led three people to Baifeng Pavilion, one of whom was Dark Soul, the other two were the nanny and the sleeping Little Princesses.
Gu Jiao crossed her arms and looked Dark Soul up and down. Having been injured so badly by Long Yi, he had almost fully recovered in just one day and night. Was this the efficacy of the purple grass poison? His constitution was indeed very strong.
