The princess was ordained by Heaven.

Chapter 230 Only Gets More Pathetic

He felt like fainting.

The current situation looks extremely bad. It would be good to faint; I wouldn't have to think about anything. After a good night's sleep, all the problems would naturally be resolved.

But he couldn't faint.

Every time he was about to lose consciousness, it seemed as if something was pulling him back, preventing him from passing out.

He looked at Che Zhong'an with admiration.

As expected of the commander of the Water Scale Guard, he is so calm.

Was Che Zhong'an calm? Actually, no.

He just couldn't make any big expressions.

In reality, his mind was already in turmoil.

They were unlucky; Lü Mengying wasn't there, so no one explained anything to them.

Zheng Xun pretended not to see their panic, realizing they hadn't even noticed the words "national subjugation." She then thought to herself:

Pang Yunyi did have some foresight; the Brown Kingdom would indeed attack Dayong in a few years, and Dayong was indeed unable to resist.

Pang Yunyi: I knew those bastards from the Brown Country were wolves in sheep's clothing and wouldn't let this go.

He was right about him; the princess will surely understand him.

However, how could Dayong be unable to resist?

Isn't there General He in the north? And isn't the emperor still in his prime?

With them around, how could the Great Yong Dynasty possibly be unable to resist?

Zheng Xun feigned emotion and briefly explained the fall of the country and the changes she brought about in her heart.

Wu Zongyu dared not faint this time.

He originally thought Pang Yunyi was a complete fool, but who knew he was right!

No, that's not right.

The princess must be joking about the fall of a kingdom, right?

It's also possible that he was hallucinating.

Has he gone mad? Is he hallucinating about the fall of his kingdom?

There's also the story of the emperor dying, the fifth prince succeeding to the throne, but according to the princess's prophecy, the fifth prince has now been killed...

Doesn't it sound absurd?

But he wasn't the only one who heard the sound; it's impossible that everyone was hallucinating, right?

At this moment, Wu Zongyu felt a pang of regret for thinking too fast.

Because he thought about the dramatic changes in Dayong over the past six months, he suddenly realized that these changes matched the princess's heartfelt wishes one by one.

Wait a minute, he's a little dizzy.

[What a pity! Although Pang Yunyi's prediction came true, he died young!]

Pang Yunyi: Who? Who died? Me?

Even though he just caused trouble, the princess can't curse him, can she?

The fall of a nation, the death of a person...

The princess always says such unlucky things. Won't she get beaten up when she's in the capital?

Given his personality, he should have made a few lighthearted jokes at this point.

But he forced a smile, unable to quite manage it.

Che Zhong'an glanced at him and said in a low voice, "I forgive your offense just now."

Pang Yunyi: ?

What is he talking about?

Does he need his forgiveness?

It was clearly his pettiness and meddling that caused them to fight, okay?

Also, what's with that pitying look in his eyes?

He's not really going to die, so why should he need pity?

Oh, he got it. That idiot Che Zhong'an actually believed those lies he just spouted.

Che Zhong'an could tell what he was thinking just by looking at his expression.

However, he is not stupid.

His connection to the capital was the deepest among the three, so he felt the changes in the Great Yong Dynasty more deeply than the others.

Moreover, someone had already hinted at the princess's unusual behavior to him, but those who had never witnessed the princess's extraordinary abilities wouldn't think in that direction.

Because he was prepared, he quickly realized that he was hearing the princess's innermost thoughts.

So, is it true that the princess is capable of divination?

Was it true that she foresaw the future downfall of the Dayong Kingdom?

Realizing these two points, he suddenly felt that it would be better if he were the one who was crazy.

He would rather be insane than have the princess's prophecy come true.

Because that would mean that the earthquake the princess predicted could very well come true.

Then, the princess and even Wu Zongyu were doing their best to save the people, but at this critical moment, he was still fooling around with Pang Yunyi!

Pang Yunyi was just saying he was bald, wasn't he?

He was already bald!

Pang Yunyi's words struck a nerve because he lacked manners. He knew Pang Yunyi was a blockhead, so why bother arguing with him?

Pang Yunyi, at least he has some brains.

Pang Yunyi: Only this sentence sounds somewhat pleasant.

Even if he has a brain, he doesn't want to use it; he's just playing around.

His death was quite comical. He was a man who rarely fell ill, but on one occasion when he was sick, he still couldn't stay still and insisted on going hunting.

[His head was spinning, and he felt anxious and agitated; in his agitation, he dismounted and drank a mouthful of water from the river by the roadside.]

Wu Zongyu: ...

This really does sound like Pang Yunyi's style of doing things.

[And it all started with that sip of water, which led to a major disaster.]

There were probably parasites in the water. He was weak from his illness, and that night he started vomiting and having diarrhea. The doctors tried everything but couldn't stop it. However, he didn't die from the illness.

Pang Yunyi, who had been somewhat listless, regained his spirits.

Haha, he said he couldn't die such a pathetic death!

He brought this upon himself; despite being weak and ill, he insisted on going to the outhouse by himself, and ended up falling into the latrine and drowning.

Although it seemed a bit immoral, Che Zhong'an and Wu Zongyu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Who would have thought that Pang Yunyi would have this day?

Pang Yunyi: Is there anything even more pathetic?

He was wrong; dying of illness can actually be quite dignified.

Although the truth of the princess's feelings is still unknown, he would rather believe it than not.

By the way, he had a bit of a cold a few days ago. Although he's almost recovered now, we can't let our guard down. We should see a doctor soon.

Also, he's a bit weak right now, and it seems like he can't walk very far. Let's get some people to carry him around in a bit.

Enjoying Pang Yunyi's fascinating expression, Zheng Xun couldn't help but laugh to himself.

After laughing, her gaze fell on the other people.

Wu Zongyu shifted his knees, hiding half of his body behind Che Zhong'an.

Che Zhong'an certainly lived a long life.

Che Zhong'an: I feel relieved, but I also have a bad feeling.

As it turned out, his hunch was correct.

He was supposed to be executed after being captured, but an old nobleman from the Brown Kingdom took a liking to him.

Pang Yunyi felt as if he had come back to life.

He's a coward, but there are people even more cowardly than him!

Che Zhong'an's face flushed slightly.

Captured...

This is utterly disgraceful!

He didn't expect that the key point of Zheng Xun's heartfelt words was in the second half.

As everyone knows, the people of the Brown Kingdom are very adept at playing games. The old nobleman knew that Che Zhong'an was a good swimmer, so he got a piece of shimmering cloth, sewed it onto his leg, and made him play the role of a mermaid.

That old nobleman also had a peculiar habit: he liked to wash his feet in water.

Che Zhong'an didn't care how much pain it was to sew the cloth onto his leg; he was about to vomit.

So, even though he's alive, he has to drink other people's foot bath water, right?

He had no time to mock Pang Yunyi; at least Pang Yunyi died a quick and easy death, unlike him, who was probably torn between life and death.

He knew very well that he was not a particularly patient person, and faced with such torture, if he could die, he would definitely commit suicide.

Then...why didn't he seek death?
