Chapter 1387 - 1387: Backing
The second prince of the Black Clouds Kingdom didn’t want to say anything earlier, but once he did, he wanted Lin Yuelan to marry him!
Moreover, at this moment, he did not hide his ambition at all.
If Lin Yuelan married him, she would be his official wife, the future princess consort!
If he were to ascend to the throne, then Lin Yuelan might become the empress who was the mother of the world!
Compared to the wife of a general, as long as it was a woman, what would she choose?
How tempting was this to a woman?
Xiao Jingyu was shocked when she heard Xiao Jingrui’s words. Her eyes widened, but there was a trace of fear in her eyes!
She had long known that this Second Imperial Brother was not simple, but she only thought that he was taking revenge on others because of what happened to him when he was young.
As for the throne, other than her brother, no one else had the right to inherit it!
So, was her second brother going to compete for the throne officially?
If he succeeded, then whether it was the Crown Prince, his brother, his mother, her, or the others, they would all end up very miserable.
Xiao Jingyu suddenly felt even more afraid and terrified. She wanted to go back and report to her father, the crown prince, and her brother. Otherwise…
However, Xiao Jingyu did not expect that even if she wanted to report it, she would need a chance!
One of the biggest purposes of this visit to Longyan Kingdom was to get her to marry into Longyan Kingdom and create internal chaos in Longyan Kingdom so that the Black Clouds Kingdom could take advantage of it!
This time, it shouldn’t be Xiao Jingrui who came to visit Longyan Kingdom. It was supposed to be the Crown Prince of Black Clouds Kingdom, Xiao Jingtian. However, Xiao Jingrui used some tricks to make the Crown Prince fall ill. In addition, his subordinate was his father’s favorite concubine. This favorite concubine had given the Emperor a pillow talk, so he had come to Longyan Kingdom instead. As for the ministers who came with him, almost all of them were Xiao Jingrui’s trusted aides. The guards who came to escort him had also been secretly replaced by his own personal guards!
It could be said that this time Xiao Jingrui began to show his ambition!
Therefore, even Xiao Jingyu, who knew the truth, could not send a letter at all!
Xiao Jingyu, who had returned to her seat, looked at the almost perfect side profile of her Second Imperial Brother. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and a chill ran down her spine!
She was now very clear that if she wanted to return to the Black Clouds Kingdom safely, there was only one thing she could do, and that was to be obedient!
And listen to this ruthless Second Imperial Brother!
“Princess, what’s wrong? Are you hot?” The young man sitting behind Xiao Jingrui looked at Xiao Jingyu’s appearance and said with a concerned look,” If it’s really hot, there’s a kind of fruit juice here. It tastes very good and is cold.
Drinking some can quench your thirst!”
Xiao Jingyu suddenly replied. Then, she shook her head at him and said,” Lord Li, I’m not thirsty!’
She already knew that Assistant Minister Li was definitely Second Imperial Brother’s trusted aide.
While Xiao Jingyu was thinking, Xiao Jingrui’s sinister expression seemed to turn sincere. He continued,” Princess, how is it?”
Jiang Zhennan was furious.
Her legitimate fiancé was still here, and this Xiao Jingrui was poaching his girl in front of him!
Jiang Zhennan’s sharp eyes shot fiercely at Xiao Jingrui. Then, he threw his glass of wine away and lunged at Xiao Jingrui.
Even though Xiao Jingrui had reacted and leaned back, he managed to avoid getting hit fatally, but he didn’t manage to avoid getting injured!
“Kacha! ”
The sound of a wine glass shattering!
Xiao Jingrui’s forehead was smashed by the wine glass!
In an instant, blood flowed down his face!
“Ah! It’s bleeding, it’s bleeding!’ “Your Highness, Your Highness, how are you?” “Assassin! Protect His Highness!”
In an instant, the situation went out of control!
No one could have expected Jiang Zhennan to attack without any weapons in his hands. He only used the wine glass!
When the women present saw the blood on Xiao Jingrui’s forehead, their faces turned pale, and they couldn’t help but scream.
The personal guard behind Xiao Jingrui quickly blocked in front of Xiao Jingrui. His eyes were sharp, and his expression was serious and alert. He angrily waited for Jiang Zhennan to attack.
The courtiers behind Xiao Jingrui saw that their Second Prince was suddenly attacked. They were stunned at first, but then they reacted. Their faces were full of anger, and their faces were ashen and extremely ugly.
Lord Ping first asked Xiao Jingrui worriedly,” Your Highness, how are you? Are you alright?”
Then, his eyes were filled with anger as he looked at Jiang Zhennan and shouted,” This is too much! This is too much! Do you think that you can attack
His Highness just because we’re in the Longyan Country?”
His last sentence was obviously directed at the emperor of Longyan Country.
Xiao Jingrui touched his injured forehead and saw that his hand was dripping with fresh red blood. A sinister light quickly flashed across his sharp eyes.
He pushed away the guards in front of him. His expression was cold, and his eyes were sharp. He looked at Jiang Zhennan coldly and asked sternly,” Great General, are you trying to kill me?”
His entire body emitted a fierce and murderous aura. One look and one could tell that he had been on the battlefield and fought.
Jiang Zhennan’s equally sharp eyes met Xiao Jingrui’s calmly, and the aura he exuded was even more powerful than Xiao Jingrui’s!
He also shouted sternly, “Second prince, you are openly trying to poach my fiance before my eyes. I’ve already shown you mercy by not killing you!’
Hearing this, Xiao Jingrui!s cold expression faintly showed a sneer. He said, “Oh, is the general worried that the princess of Guguo will abandon you and choose this prince?”
After all, one was the queen of a country, and the other was just the wife of a general. Any woman would know what to choose!
When Jiang Zhennan heard this, his eyes immediately turned even colder. However, other expressions could be seen on his handsome and cold face.
He just snorted at Xiao Jingrui and then didn’t speak again.
That was because he was comforted by Lin Yuelan, who was beside him.
Then, Lin Yuelan stood beside Jiang Zhennan and said coldly,” Second Prince, shouldn’t you ask me who I want to choose?”
Xiao Jingrui’s eyes flashed. He spread his hands and said with a smile,” Princess, you are a smart person. Of course, you will make a smart choice!” Xiao Jingrui was very confident in Lin Yuelan’s decision!
After listening to Xiao Jingrui’s words, everyone’s eyes were fixed on Lin Yuelan. Their expressions were complicated and strange. Some of them even looked at Lin Yuelan with faint jealousy.
If it were them, they would definitely choose…
Most of the unmarried princesses were shy and looked at Xiao Jingrui, the Second Prince of the Black Clouds Kingdom, with affection in their eyes!
Hopefully, he would choose them!
