Chapter 2378: Going CrazyEditor: Henyee Translations

The Fourth Prince was about to go crazy!

He resented Shao Yunduan for what he had done to him, but he knew he was at fault and had no grounds for complaint.

But the Second Prince was a different matter.

That traitor! He had allied with Shao Yunduan, the very man who had wronged him, to undermine him!

No matter what, they were brothers! How could the Second Prince betray him like this? Was he not letting down the ancestors of the Great Qin Empire?

The Fourth Prince raged against the Second Prince for his betrayal and harbored even greater hatred towards him than towards Shao Yunduan.

Unfortunately, the Fourth Prince had no idea about this. Even if he did, he would be indifferent.

They had long since severed ties. The pursuit of power outweighed all other concerns.

The idea of Shao Yunduan’s family growing stronger and potentially claiming the throne was deeply embarrassing.

Shao Yunduan continued to expand his territory. He sent a letter to the Fourth Prince, inquiring if he still desired Tian Shanshan’s life.

If he did, he would need to make an offer that Shao Yunduan found satisfactory. If the price was right, Shao Yunduan might consider returning the entire imperial envoy.

Shao Yunduan not only sent the letter to the Fourth Prince but also publicized the demand for an exchange.

Enraged, the Fourth Prince cursed Shao Yunduan, calling him a "traitor" and a "despicable man," and angrily tore the letter to shreds.

Even though he was reluctant, he had no choice but to agree to the exchange. The Tian family would never let this go, and he couldn’t afford to have the world think poorly of him.

Before he could devise a suitable offer, Tian Shanshan’s parents arrived, urgently seeking news. Although their concern for their daughter was understandable, the Fourth Prince felt slightly irked, as if he were being judged harshly for his perceived coldness.

He instructed Lord Tian, the current Minister of Personnel and Tian Shanshan’s father, to arrange for a replacement and bring the necessary items to negotiate her release.

Lord Tian quickly departed from the capital with a batch of treasures valued at 500,000 for the exchange.

The negotiation took place in Jinan City, a location recently captured by Shao Yunduan. It had formerly belonged to the Third Prince, was seized by the Fourth Prince, and eventually fell into Shao Yunduan’s hands.

When Lord Tian entered Jinan City, he sighed inwardly.

This was his first time in Jinan City, but it no longer belonged to the Emperor. Once the pride of the Great Qin, it had fallen into the hands of Shao Yunduan, who had once served the late Emperor. How could Shao Yunduan, a former Primus, dare to rebel against the Great Qin and seize the Emperor’s city?

Under Shao Yunduan’s orders, Tian Shanshan and Shao Liulang were escorted to Jinan City.

There was no need for a reception banquet.

From the moment Lord Tian and his entourage arrived, they were placed under strict supervision. The inn was guarded, with no one allowed to enter or leave without permission.

When Shao Yunduan met Lord Tian at the Jinan City government office, he was accompanied by Qiao Xuan, the newly appointed Jinan Prefect, the Deputy Prefect, and Zheng Sangge.

Lord Tian’s face flushed with anger. Struggling to contain his frustration, he politely requested a private meeting with Shao Yunduan.

However, Shao Yunduan refused.

"That’s not appropriate. If any details were to leak, it could cause complications. There’s nothing that can’t be discussed in front of others. Lord Tian, please proceed."
