Chapter 1173: Great Sin

When the first princess heard Dai Boheng’s words, she was completely dumbfounded.

She thought that someone from the Dai family had done something greedy, corrupt, and illegal, or perhaps, just like the Meng family, they were thinking about pushing the Fourth Prince to the throne and secretly doing something to let the Crown Prince down…

However, who would have thought that he was actually colluding with the enemy?!

Her hands could not help but tremble.

She also knew about the situation at the border back then. When the capital received the news, they had already broken through two or three cities. A few of the guards at the border had died, and the generals in the court had their own duties. In a short period of time, they could not even find a suitable person to go to the battlefield. Even if they had chosen a person, they still needed time to prepare the rations and gather the troops. If they were to head over from the capital, they would not be able to make it in time even if they sped up their march.

At that time, his father was so anxious that he could not sleep well. The harem was also filled with worry.

Later, when he suddenly said that the border had been guarded, father was extremely happy. Even if it was a bandit leading troops to guard it, he still said that he wanted to reward him, and he wanted to reward him greatly!

Having a bandit as an official was supposed to be a big joke in the world, but it had been done!

Now, he was telling her that the incident back then was the work of the Dai family?

“Even I can’t help you with this matter.” The first princess sat back in her seat and looked at Dai Boheng with a completely disappointed gaze. “If you really have the heart to repent, why don’t you let your elders go to the main hall and tell everyone about this matter? Your grandfather has also made a lot of contributions over the years. Perhaps, he can keep your family’s lives, and not everyone would lose their lives.”

However, she was not sure if it could be done this way.

This crime was too great.

Dai Boheng also knew that there was no way out now.

Xie Qiao had been sitting by the side the whole time. Dai Boheng now had no secrets, and he did not have much life left. “The evil technique in you… If it can be resolved, I am willing to do my best…”

“This matter… you really can’t be of much help,” Xie Qiao said. “You didn’t take the fortune… If it has to be returned, perhaps it can be done with Prince Rong’s blood.”

The black mixture from before could not be used anymore.

The evil technique had already been formed, and that thing was emitting a wave of evil energy. The talisman water that she had prepared for the first princess previously had a restraining effect, but it could not be completely dissolved.

If she wanted to take back the fortune, she had to set up a fortune-stealing formation.

Dai Boheng thought for a moment. “I have already committed a crime. Please give me one day, Princess. When I return, I will deliver Prince Rong’s blood. After that, my grandfather will enter the palace to apologize. In this life, it is all my fault that I can not be together with the Princess. In my next life, I will be a cow and a horse to repay the Princess.”

After saying this, Dai Boheng stood up and staggered out.

The first princess wanted to speak, but she hesitated. In the end, she turned her head away.

She could tolerate other sins.

However, this one, she could not.

Even if the person who committed the sin was not him, but the second uncle of the Dai family, she was the daughter of the imperial family. She could marry anyone in this life, but she could not have any relations with those who rebelled against the enemy!

“Master, without Prince Rong’s blood, the first princess’s illness is not…” Madam Ruan sighed.

“I’m only saying that without blood, the fortune that has already been taken away can not be returned,” Xie Qiao explained seriously, “I’ll do it later. I’ll first protect the princess from the future. Even without Prince Rong’s blood, her fortune won’t be taken away in the future. However, this witchcraft has been going on for a long time. I’m afraid that the princess’s best fortune has been taken away by him. If we can’t bring it back, I’m afraid that the princess will have trouble in her next life.”

Especially in the aspect of marriage. There would definitely be major problems.

The first princess nodded. “Then I’ll have to trouble you, Master.”
