Chu Zhiyuan took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly, as if trying to expel all his anger.
The Eldest Prince, Chu Liechu, opened his eyes and looked at him curiously.
He had thought Chu would explode, but unexpectedly, he held it in.
It seems that having experienced death once really makes a difference; his temper has improved quite a bit.
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head with a sorrowful expression: "This is our Jade Dynasty, so pitiful!"
The other two princes also opened their eyes to look at him.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "The fate of the entire Court hinges on me, a mere hostage."
Chu Liechu sighed helplessly, "Ninth Brother, there is no other way, we lack strength, and can only lament at our helplessness."
Chu Zhiyuan remained silent.
Chu Liechu said, "Lacking strength, we cannot consider face, survival is more important than humiliation... Ninth Brother, if you can truly avert war, you would be a great hero of our Court."
"I dare not accept such honor."
