As Dongfang Longyue's words fell, the eyes of all the women in the courtyard fell upon Lu Chen.
All the women were eager to know whether the hostage Lu Chen mentioned was the one they were thinking of.
Seeing his wives and concubines staring at him, Lu Chen suddenly felt a little guilty. "Why are you all looking at me like that?" he asked.
At this moment, Wang Qingci said with a smile, "Prince, the hostage you have in mind couldn't possibly be the Princess of Great Wu, could it?"
Uh...
Lu Chen then said, "I originally thought of the Prince Lu Yi as the hostage, but now that Qingci mentions it, I've come to realize that if anyone has more capability and ambition in Great Wu, it is the Princess of Great Wu. She's more important to Great Wu, so I've decided to make her the hostage."
"Qingci, thank you for reminding me."
Hearing Lu Chen's words, the women chuckled inwardly, how could they not know what he was really thinking.
