Ming Shu looked at Shen Pin. She smiled. "What do you want?"
The crown prince didn't answer her directly. He asked, "Although the Fengqi State is ruled by females, it is a powerful state. Other states got merged and conquered but the Fengqi State remained safe."
The crown prince paused. "However, the Fengqi State gas ample resources. Many people want them."
Ming Shu interrupted him. "Just get to the main point. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Do you think that this is your inauguration ceremony?"
The prince: "β¦"
He smiled. "My aim is simple. I want the Fengqi State to pay allegiance to Daliang."
"What if I say no?"
The crown prince looked at Shen Pin. "Do you want to become your husband's enemy?"
"You might want to know what I did to him," the crown prince continued. "Don't worry. He won't die. He will just become my puppet like Duanmu Shu. When I want him to regain his consciousness, he will wake up."
