Chapter 1591: Why Are You So Unreasonable?

Editor: Henyee Translations

Yet, he remained unyielding.

“Why are you so obstinate?” the Crown Prince exclaimed in slight irritation. “Reflect on it! Withdraw your request!”

Shao Yunduan chose not to engage in argument but rose from his seat and departed.

The Crown Prince, seated on the couch, released a prolonged sigh.

Frustrated, he sought solace at the Princess Consort’s residence.

Welcoming him with enthusiasm, the Princess Consort served tea with great hospitality.

Observing the Crown Prince’s disinterested demeanor, Princess Consort grew concerned and inquired, “Crown Prince, what has happened? Is something troubling you?”

The Crown Prince seldom discussed political matters with the Princess Consort, who, in turn, refrained from probing into such affairs. However, Shao Yunduan’s situation transcended mere politics.

The Crown Prince sighed, “Officer Shao requested release today. I cannot fathom why he would entertain such a notion!”

“Oh–” Princess Consort was taken aback and exclaimed, “Crown Prince did not acquiesce, did he?”

They could not allow him to leave!

He dared to venture where others hesitated, excelling in tasks beyond the capability of others. His contributions were manifold, including pleasant surprises.

That year, the Imperial Plantation yielded a bountiful potato harvest, eliciting joy from the Ministry of Revenue. The Emperor, pleased, commended the Crown Prince, declaring him a boon to the empire.

He asserted that in times of famine, these potatoes could potentially save countless lives.

Such merit was priceless and irreplaceable!

And Shao Yunduan had orchestrated all of this for the Crown Prince.

Despite her disapproval of Qiao Xuan and the belief that Shao Yunduan was overly lenient toward him, the Princess Consort still wished for Shao Yunduan to remain by the Crown Prince’s side and offer his assistance.

The Crown Prince, inherently kind-hearted, faced limitations with aides and confidants constrained by their reputations. In contrast, Shao Yunduan, a fearless youth, operated without as many worries and constraints. What hindered others did not impede him.

The Crown Prince needed such a fearless ally.

Shaking his head with a bitter smile, the Crown Prince remarked, “I urged him to reconsider, but Officer Shao remains resolute. He won’t change his mind!”

The Princess Consort expressed displeasure, stating, “As a minister and with the Crown Prince as the heir, as a scholar and the Primus, doesn’t he understand the principle of hierarchy? If he’s loyal to the Crown Prince, he shouldn’t speak that way!”

“You misunderstand him,” the Crown Prince hesitated before revealing Shao Yunduan’s lingering dissatisfaction with Qiao Xuan’s kidnapping.

Princess Consort grew even angrier and felt a twinge of embarrassment. The Fourth Princess Consort had approached her, apologizing and explaining that the Fourth Prince had saved her grandson’s life at the cost of almost losing his own.

While proud of her grandson’s luck, Princess Consort found the Fourth Princess Consort’s request reasonable and couldn’t refuse. She agreed immediately and sought to persuade the Crown Prince.

Facing pressure, the Crown Prince accepted the favor, giving in to Princess Consort.

If Shao Yunduan harbored issues with this matter, it implied Princess Consort had erred. Naturally, she wasn’t pleased.

“This is even more unjustifiable! Lord Shao, can’t you grasp such a simple principle? Fourth brother saved our grandson; we must reciprocate. Ms. Qiao is unharmed, isn’t she? What is there to argue about? Is Lord Shao willing to harm us all? That’s too much!”
