We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real?

After the Second Prince Qin Jingyuan threw open the border gates, Jin Kingdom’s million-strong army rapidly seized control of several cities.

Along the way, no generals resisted.

Any generals who might have had even a hint of resistance were all removed by Qin Jingyuan and placed under house arrest.

Within less than a month, Jin Kingdom’s army had already arrived at Lu Province’s provincial capital.

Qin Jingyuan led his wife out of the city to welcome Jin Kingdom’s army.

“Jin Kingdom’s Yan Liuyun greets Prince Jing.”

Jin Kingdom’s commanding general Yan Liuyun dismounted and bowed to Qin Jingyuan but from his tone and manner, it was clear he looked down on Qin Jingyuan, even carrying disdain.

Yet Qin Jingyuan acted as if completely unaware and returned the bow to Yan Liuyun, “I have long heard of Marquis Hu’s great name. Seeing you today, the general truly has extraordinary bearing. Jin Kingdom’s army, just observing it, is truly awe-inspiring.”

“Prince Jing flatters me. This journey into Qin Kingdom still requires much reliance on Prince Jing.”

As he spoke, Yan Liuyun glanced at Jin Kingdom’s Eldest Princess Ji Yue.

The look he gave Ji Yue carried some complexity, but Ji Yue acted as if she hadn’t noticed, simply keeping her head lowered, standing beside her husband.

Qin Jingyuan noticed Yan Liuyun’s gaze but continued acting as if he knew nothing.

“Marquis Hu, please come inside. I’ve already had servants prepare a banquet to welcome you!” Qin Jingyuan stepped aside, inviting the other to enter the city.

“Then I’ll trouble Your Highness.”

Yan Liuyun said the word “trouble” but showed no politeness whatsoever, walking straight into the city.

Aside from some high-ranking officers, Jin Kingdom’s million-strong army camped outside the city.

When the common people of Lu Province’s capital saw Qin Jingyuan leading Jin Kingdom’s generals inside, most looked at him with disdain, but no one dared say anything.

Some hot-blooded youths who wanted to throw eggs at Qin Jingyuan and the others were tightly held back by their fathers, preventing them from acting rashly.

“It seems Prince Jing isn’t very popular.”

Yan Liuyun looked at Qin Jingyuan with a smile, the corners of his mouth curving up with some contempt and mockery.

Qin Jingyuan merely laughed, “They’re just lowly commoners. Why should this prince bother with them? Once this prince breaks through the capital and becomes their ruler, won’t they still have to obediently shut their mouths?”

“Hehehehe…” Yan Liuyun chuckled a few times, “Your Highness is right.”

“Marquis Hu, this way please.” Qin Jingyuan made a “please” gesture, continuing to guide Yan Liuyun and the other generals.

Before long, everyone arrived at Prince Jing’s manor.

Qin Jingyuan prepared delicacies from land and sea, having servants properly entertain these Jin Kingdom generals. Dancing girls performed in the courtyard, and the music of strings and bamboo was unending.

Moreover, Qin Jingyuan had his tens of thousands of soldiers in Lu Province city deliver wine and meat to the army outside the city, providing generous rewards!

After three rounds of drinks, Qin Jingyuan and the Jin Kingdom generals appeared extremely harmonious.

An hour later, the banquet was about to end.

Qin Jingyuan invited Yan Liuyun and the other generals to stay at Prince Jing’s manor.

“Since Your Highness is so kind, if we decline further, we wouldn’t be giving Your Highness face. We shall respectfully accept your offer.”

Yan Liuyun and the others only declined once before immediately agreeing.

“Very well, very well.” Qin Jingyuan looked already drunk beyond awareness, “Marquis Hu and the others, please make yourselves at home. This prince cannot hold his liquor and will retire first.”

“This consort will also excuse herself first to help my husband to his room.” Ji Yue at his side curtsied and supported her husband as they walked into the main courtyard.

“Your Highness, take care. Princess, take care.”

Yan Liuyun casually cupped his fists in farewell.

As the two gradually walked away, Yan Liuyun’s gaze remained on Ji Yue.

Only after Ji Yue had gone far did Yan Liuyun sit back down.

Yan Liuyun picked up his wine cup and drank deeply.

Ji Yue helped her husband back to their room, gently laying him on the bed, then removing his shoes and covering him with a blanket.

She personally drew a basin of water in the courtyard and gently wiped her husband’s face.

After attending to her husband, Ji Yue carried the basin out of the room and emptied it but just as Ji Yue was about to return to the room, she saw Yan Liuyun walk into the courtyard.

“This is Prince Jing’s main courtyard. Coming here without His Highness’s permission, do you know what crime that is!” Ji Yue frowned and rebuked.

“Please forgive this subject, Princess.” Yan Liuyun cupped his fists in salute, then set up a spell to isolate sound and spiritual sense detection, “But this subject missed the Princess too much and couldn’t help myself, thus this breach of etiquette!”

“Get out!” Ji Yue said coldly.

“Princess…”

Yan Liuyun’s expression was very complex.

“Now our Jin Kingdom has entered Qin Kingdom and together with Chu Kingdom and Yan Kingdom will destroy Qin. With the combined might of these three kingdoms, Qin Kingdom absolutely cannot withstand it. Even if this Qin Jingyuan ultimately becomes Qin Kingdom’s ruler, so what?

Does he really think that by sitting on the throne through such methods, he can truly suppress everyone else?

Not to mention others, just the Northern Pacification Prince and that Frost Prince Xiao Mo will counterattack Qin Kingdom’s capital.

At that time, Qin Kingdom will inevitably fall into great chaos.

If Qin Jingyuan doesn’t want to die, he must rely on our Jin Kingdom, Yan Kingdom, and Chu Kingdom.

When that time comes, we three families can divide up Qin Kingdom!

What will this Qin Jingyuan amount to then?

And with the Princess’s such noble status, why follow him?

If the Princess is willing, this subject can remain by the Princess’s side.”

“Insolent!” Ji Yue said angrily, “Do you know what you’re saying?! Aren’t you afraid I’ll tell everything you said to my husband?”

“Naturally not afraid.” Yan Liuyun shook his head, “No matter what, the Princess is Jin Kingdom’s Eldest Princess, His Majesty’s beloved daughter. How could the Princess speak of this and commit such an unbenevolent and unfilial act?

“Moreover!” Yan Liuyun took a step forward, “This subject’s heart toward the Princess can be witnessed by the sun and moon!”

As he spoke, Yan Liuyun reached his hand toward Ji Yue but Ji Yue decisively stepped back, her eyes flashing with cold light, “I’ll say this one last time! Leave! Do you think this princess has no voice whatsoever with Father Emperor and can be bullied by you at will?!”

“This subject wouldn’t dare!” Yan Liuyun knelt on one knee, “This subject only wants the Princess to know of this subject’s sincere heart, which from beginning to end has never changed.”

“I’ve told you many times, I’ve never liked you. And no matter what, I won’t let my husband suffer any harm. This Eldest Princess identity of mine still carries some weight!”

Ji Yue turned around.

“Leave quickly. I’ll pretend I didn’t see you and that I know nothing. But if you come looking for me next time, I’ll tell my husband everything.”

Hearing Ji Yue’s words, Yan Liuyun wanted to speak but stopped.

Finally, Yan Liuyun only sighed heavily, “Since that’s the case, this subject will take his leave first. However, no matter what, my heart has always been with the Princess, waiting for the Princess to change her mind.”

Yan Liuyun bowed deeply and turned to leave.

After Yan Liuyun left, Ji Yue seemed to have exhausted all her strength and sat down on the ground.

Her mind was completely blank, not knowing what she was thinking at all.

After a long while, Ji Yue finally stood up and walked back to the room.

Ji Yue sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her husband lying on the bed, her eyes slightly wavering.

Ji Yue reached out her hand, gently stroking her husband’s profile. Tears gradually slid from the woman’s eyes, “Husband… this consort is unfilial as a daughter and disloyal as a wife… what should I do…

Why must this consort and husband… be in this imperial family…”
