Chapter 136 No One Dares to Take It
Luo Lingyue's smile froze on her face instantly. She stared at Xiao Jinghan with wide eyes in disbelief. Xiao Jinghan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked with a puzzled look: "Doesn't Miss Luo like me to go with you? But this is the will of His Majesty. He specifically asked us to have more contact and cultivate feelings before getting married!"
Hearing this, Luo Lingyue was speechless. She secretly cursed Luo Lingzhang, this bastard, how could he push her into such an embarrassing situation! She couldn't help but secretly complain in her heart, but she didn't know how to respond to Xiao Jinghan's question.
At this moment, various coping strategies flashed through Luo Lingyue's mind, but none of them seemed to be able to perfectly solve the current dilemma. She took a deep breath, trying to keep herself calm, trying to find a way to reject Xiao Jinghan without hurting the relationship.
After hearing this, Luo Lingfeng rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "That's great! It's great to have Prince Xiao going with us! Prince Xiao, please get in the car and sit with us!"
Xiao Jinghan did not refuse and stepped into the carriage. Luo Lingyue instantly felt that the originally spacious carriage seemed a little cramped and narrow because of his arrival.
Luo Lingfeng was all smiles as he enthusiastically filled a cup of fragrant tea for Xiao Jinghan, saying as he poured, "Prince Xiao! Come and taste the new tea that was just picked this year!"
Xiao Jinghan politely took the teacup and said softly, "Thank you, Sixth Brother! From now on, you can just call me Jinghan!"
Luo Lingfeng smiled happily upon hearing this, and said as if in the spring breeze: "Jinghan! You are going to Jiangnan with us this time. His Majesty will definitely send many guards to protect you, right?"
Xiao Jinghan smiled slightly and responded calmly: "Sixth brother! These guards are ordered to come here to protect the safety of all of us!"
Luo Lingfeng raised his lips slightly, and said with a joyful smile: "This is really great! Come on! Jinghan, let's taste tea together! Oh! There are also snacks here. This peach cake is made by my mother herself, you must try it!"
Xiao Jinghan reached out and took the exquisite little plate handed over by Luo Lingfeng, a slight smile appeared on his face, and he responded: "Sixth brother treats me so well, I am really touched!"
Luo Lingfeng scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and said sincerely: "After you and Xiaoqi get married, we will be a family. Xiaoqi will still need you to take care of her! Hahaha!"
However, Luo Lingyue's face was stiff, and she was muttering to herself. Luo Xiaoliu, this silly boy, was easily won over by Xiao Jinghan's few words! He kept saying that they were a family. What was Xiao Jinghan's intention? She would not easily believe the so-called words of cultivating feelings! It was simply coaxing a child!
The carriage slowly drove out of the city gate, and the wheels made a gurgling sound. Luo Lingyue sat in the carriage, looking forward with melancholy eyes, feeling extremely heavy-hearted.
Her eyes fell on the two figures chatting and laughing in the carriage, and she couldn't help but feel worried. She was originally looking forward to the trip to Jiangnan, but now she felt unprecedented uneasiness.
Luo Lingyue thought to herself that this trip seemed to be getting more and more complicated. She felt even more annoyed when she thought of the always unpredictable Xiao Jinghan. This man seemed to have a special magic power, causing countless troubles wherever he went.
At this moment, Luo Lingyue deeply realized that as long as Xiao Jinghan was around, her life would be threatened at all times. He was simply a walking time bomb that could trigger a bloody storm at any time.
Meanwhile, in the study room of the East Palace, Li Jingshu was busy sorting out the prince's books. Suddenly, Bing'er ran in in a panic and said to her in a low voice, "Miss, the situation is not good! No one is willing to accept our mission to assassinate Luo Lingyue!"
Li Jingshu frowned and asked in confusion: "How could this happen? Is the reward not high enough?"
Bing'er shook her head helplessly and replied anxiously, "Miss, it's not about the money. Someone hired assassins from the Dark Moon Pavilion and Soul-seeking Sect to protect Luo Lingyue! No one in the martial arts world dares to ask for our bounty. Everyone is afraid of these two assassin organizations!"
Upon hearing this news, Li Jingshu's face instantly turned gloomy. She never expected that someone could actually ask such a powerful assassin organization to protect Luo Lingyue. This undoubtedly brought a huge obstacle to their plan.
Faced with the current dilemma, Li Jingshu fell into deep thought. She must find a way to overcome this difficulty, otherwise all her previous efforts would be in vain. However, how to deal with the protection of these two major killer organizations?
As time went by, a bold idea gradually emerged in Li Jingshu's mind...
Li Jingshu gritted her teeth and said word by word: "Then send out all the secret guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion! I want to see how capable that bitch is!"
Bing'er's face turned very ugly. She hesitated for a moment, but still advised: "Miss, this is probably not appropriate. Luo Lingyue has already left the capital. She is going to Jiangnan this time. Moreover, Prince Xiao is accompanying her. Not only that, His Majesty's secret guards are also following them. The Prime Minister has specifically warned you not to act without authorization!"
Hearing this, Li Jingshu's face became even gloomier. She widened her eyes and shouted angrily: "I am the Crown Princess now! Can't I even kill a cheap woman?"
Bing'er lowered her head silently. After a long silence, she slowly raised her head and said softly, "The Queen also meant this. She told you not to ruin the Crown Prince's plans. At this moment, Luo Lingyue cannot move..."
Li Jingshu held the book tightly with her fingers, feeling restless, as if there were thousands of ants gnawing at her! Her brows were furrowed, and her eyes revealed a hint of anxiety and worry.
In the Xiangzhang Courtyard of the General's Mansion, Luo Lingzhang was sitting by the window. The sunlight shone on his jade-like face, reflecting a faint smile: "My wife! My good wife! It was only thanks to your information that I learned that Li Jingshu actually tried to attack Xiaoqi! If you hadn't informed me in advance, I'm afraid the consequences would be disastrous!"
Chu Qingrui's face was also filled with a gentle smile. She walked gently to Luo Lingzhang and said softly, "My husband! Now I am a member of the Luo family. My mother and grandfather are both on good terms with the King of Qin. They will naturally support us with all their strength. In addition, you can rest assured to use the spies that my mother has planted in the East Palace. With these help, I believe we will be able to overcome the danger."
Her voice was as gentle as the spring breeze, making people feel warm. Luo Lingzhang nodded slightly in agreement. The couple smiled at each other, their eyes full of trust and tacit understanding. Under this seemingly calm appearance, a surging contest is about to unfold...
