Chapter 596: The Crown Prince Suffers 5

Su Luo very kindly clarified for her: "There's also my share; tell him to have it ready as well."

"His Highness the Crown Prince still owes you?" Concubine Meng completely disbelieved it. "What does he owe you?"

The dignified Crown Prince would actually have debts? Who would believe that if it got out? Concubine Meng herself certainly didn't believe it.

"I originally intended to give His Highness the Crown Prince some time to raise the funds, but now it seems that's unnecessary. Have His Highness prepare everything by tomorrow; we will certainly be there." Su Luo looked at Concubine Meng, grinning widely.

When returning to the Dragon Scale Horse, Nangong Liuyun suddenly turned back and dropped a sentence: "There are lowlifes loitering around the Crown Prince's Estate. This King has already sent people to guard the estate."

After a pause, Nangong Liuyun tossed out another sentence: "If he wants to flee, then he should wash his own neck!"

Having finished speaking, Nangong Liuyun pulled Su Luo back into the carriage.

Leaving behind a dazed and flustered Concubine Meng.

This… Concubine Meng had a faint, ominous premonition in her heart; she felt as if she had caused a huge disaster.

Concubine Meng returned to the Crown Prince's Estate in a daze.

The Crown Prince's Estate was filled with nightly music and revelry, appearing lively and prosperous.

The Crown Prince didn't have the slightest tension or panic that a debtor should have. At this moment, he was surrounded by fine wine and beautiful women, indulging in nightly songs and the height of luxurious pleasure.

Seeing Concubine Meng return, the Crown Prince seemed particularly happy. He pulled her into his embrace and fed a wine cup to her vermilion lips.

Concubine Meng was worried at first, but seeing the Crown Prince like this, her anxious heart finally eased down.

It seemed that even if His Highness the Crown Prince owed a debt, it wasn't much.

Concubine Meng drank it all in one gulp from the Crown Prince's hand.

Concubine Meng slumped into the Crown Prince's embrace, her slender fingertips crawling across his chest, her soft voice seductive and sweet.

"Your Highness, I encountered a funny thing upon my return today. I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Oh? Since it's something funny, tell it to this Prince." The Crown Prince was clearly in a good mood.

If one were to ask why his mood was so good, it was naturally because the clouds had parted to reveal the clear sky.

When he first returned from Amethyst Island, his face was gloomy all day long. He was paranoid and nervous every day, fearing that Nangong Liuyun and Su Luo would come to his door to collect the debt.

But one day, two days… more than a month passed in a row, and those two showed no sign of coming to collect the debt at all. Consequently, the Crown Prince immediately became relaxed and carefree.

The Crown Prince felt that since they hadn't come to collect the debt for so long, they must also feel that the wager was too ridiculous, too hilarious, and no one was taking it seriously.

As a result, the Crown Prince wasn't worried at all.

How could Concubine Meng know the twists and turns involved? At this moment, she was telling the story of meeting Su Luo today to the Crown Prince as a joke, giving him all the details.

Naturally, she omitted her arrogant and overbearing carriage driver.

The Crown Prince's expression was excellent at first, but as he listened… his expression became complicated when he heard Su Luo's appearance.

When he heard Nangong Liuyun's appearance, his face turned dark.

Later, when the debt collection was mentioned… "What did you say?" Without any warning, the Crown Prince abruptly stood up.

With a loud thud, Concubine Meng, who had been snuggling in his embrace, suddenly fell to the floor, landing hard.

She was just about to act weak and pitiful to gain sympathy, but the Crown Prince grabbed her and hoisted her up, his movements crude and savage! His eyes glared at Concubine Meng like copper bells: "You just said that Nangong Liuyun and Su Luo are coming to the door tomorrow to collect the debt?!!!"
