Chapter 144: The True Culprit Revealed!

Princess Royale... Is she really that formidable?

The Crown Prince was somewhat bewildered. From the rumors he'd heard in his childhood, he knew that his aunt was no mere decorative princess, but to say she could contend with the Duke of Qin, wasn't that an exaggeration?

Even His Majesty, his father, probably couldn't make such a claim, right?

"What? Does the Crown Prince not believe it?" The Princess Royale said with a teasing smile.

A hint of embarrassment appeared on the Crown Prince's face, and he hastily waved his hands, "I didn't mean..."

"It's alright." The Princess Royale laughed and said, "Who is the Duke of Qin? The foremost duke of Great Jin, who persuaded seventy percent of the lords to surrender, and who was once universally acknowledged as the King of Qin's top military general. How could I, a frail woman, compare to him, right or not?"

"Uh..." The Crown Prince was taken aback and unconsciously took a step back, sensing that something was amiss.
