Chapter 459 - 459: Planning

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Duo Gole’s words made Lin Suisui and the others’ expressions change slightly. No one expected that despite everything that had been planned, they encountered such an incident.

Although Lin Suisui was shocked, she didn’t show it on her face. She attended this family banquet and chatted with Duo Gole and the others calmly for a while before getting up to leave with Lu Ze.

As soon as they left the tent, Lin Suisui asked Bai Guo to invite An Duo over.

“Has this happened before?” Lin Suisui smiled at An Duo and went straight to her purpose for inviting him over today.

“No.” An Duo shook his head and replied with certainty, “The Harvest Festival is a big deal. Any form of disrespect is punishable by death. How can we anger the gods just because of a single person’s illness?

Actually, before I went to the banquet just now, I already received some news about the harvest festival. However, it wasn’t confirmed yet, so I didn’t come over to report.

Everyone is very against this arrangement now, so I’m afraid there will be trouble in the Imperial Court again in the next two days.”

For the northern barbarians, the Harvest Festival was a festival that couldn’t be blasphemed against. The grander the celebration, the better, because this could augur a peaceful year.

However, Zadeh, who was in charge of the Imperial Court’s affairs, had made such a decision that angered everyone.

Not only couldn’t they celebrate, but even the ritual to worship the gods was called off…

This not only angered the ordinary people, but even the lords and nobles who had supported Zadeh previously expressed great dissatisfaction and anger.

“In that case, this unforeseen event might also be an opportunity.” After Lin Suisui pondered for a moment, she turned to look at Lu Ze with a smile. As expected, she saw the same mirth in his eyes.

“Then I’m afraid we’ll have to trouble you next.” Lu Ze nodded at Lin Suisui before looking at An Duo, who was still in a daze. “Since everyone has a lot of dissatisfaction with Zadeh, you might as well use this opportunity to stir up more trouble.”

With Lu Ze’s reminder, shaman An Duo immediately reacted. He couldn’t help but nod repeatedly with excitement. “Yes, that’s true! If it’s handled well, we can even find a more suitable opportunity for you to appear in front of everyone!”

With a target, An Duo’s next move became much easier.

He was very good at keeping people in suspense. After he released a few messenger pigeons and sent a few believers to send messages, everything was almost settled.

As expected, just as Lin Suisui and the others had guessed, this method of sowing discord brought great trouble to Nina, who just made the decision in the Imperial Court.

“Ahem, ahem, even if you kill me, you made this stupid decision yourself.” Zadeh spat out a mouthful of blood as he smiled at the furious Nina provocatively. His face was filled with schadenfreude. His back was lacerated by the whip, but he was still smiling.

“I’ve advised you not to be stupid, but you didn’t listen to me!

Actually, this is all because you’re too selfish and conceited. If you put yourself in their shoes, you would understand. What would happen if someone asked you to stop worshipping the Naga Snake God?”

“How dare you!” Before Zadeh could finish speaking, Ting Nuo, who was beside Nina, whipped him heavily. Ting Nuo glared at Zadeh with an extremely ugly expression as she shouted, “How dare you insult Naga?!”

“You guys can’t even stand me mentioning it. Then, what do you think those people will think when you guys call off the Harvest Festival?” Zadeh wasn’t angry after being whipped. Instead, he smiled even more happily.

He leaned against the ground as he stared at Nina with resentment in his eyes. “Just wait for retribution!”

“Don’t be smug too early.” Nina turned around and glanced down at Zadeh with a cold smile. “Things have just begun. Put away your smugness first. We still don’t know who will win in the end!

Don’t think I don’t know that many of the people causing trouble here were instructed by your good brother! ‘Goddess’…

Hehe, I want to see how impressive this ‘Goddess’ is!”

After saying that, she turned around and gave Ting Nuo a look. Ting Nuo quickly retreated. Seeing that he and Nina were the only ones left in the tent, Zadeh’s expression immediately changed. He stopped being smug and shrank back in fear to get as far away from Nina as possible.

Nina only glanced at him and chuckled. After she walked to the short table at the side and poured a glass of wine, she walked towards Gu Han with the wine glass in her hand. “Gu Han, what are you hiding from? We’re husband and wife. Besides, I want to give birth to a cute prince for you!”

“Don’t come over!” Zadeh struggled to avoid Nina’s grip. Unexpectedly, Nina moved quickly and clamped down on Zadeh’s chin, forcing the wine into his mouth.

“This is the only use I have for you now! Otherwise, do you think I’d be willing to pretend to be civil to a piece of trash like you?” Nina threw away the wine glass in her hand and reached out to tug at Zadeh’s lapel. “You’d better listen to me. There’s a limit to my patience!

If you’re still so useless that I can’t get pregnant, don’t blame me for using other methods!

After all, when the time comes, won’t it be up to me to decide if this child’s father is you or not?”

At this point, Nina tightened her grip.

The man in front of her was too useless!

If she still couldn’t get pregnant, she could only use other methods! What she needed now was only a child.

After the situation in the future stabilized, as for who the child’s father was…

Who would dare to question it?!

“How dare you!” Zadeh was so angry at Nina’s shamelessness that his face turned ashen. He couldn’t help but curse, but just as Nina had said, he couldn’t resist at all now. As the medicine in the wine gradually took effect, he quickly lost his rationality and ability to think.. He followed Nina’s wishes and became entangled with her…
