The eldest young master of the Xie family, Xie Xianyu, was like a spring breeze and a graceful orchid—refined, elegant, and, rarest of all, blessed with a compassionate heart.
A year ago, he ...
"Yu Zhen, the counselor from the Prince of Jin's mansion, just came looking for us. She said she had heard that Doctor Bai from Jin Shangtang was an excellent doctor, so she invited her to the hunting ground to check the pulse of the Princess of Jin. She just said that she had already arrived at the foot of the mountain!"
To put it in a high-sounding manner is nothing more than telling them that Xu Wanruo was captured by them!
Xie Xianyu's face was extremely gloomy: "Where is she now?"
"In the camp..."
Xie Xianyu jumped on his horse and galloped away.
"What about King Xuan..." Before Su Yan could finish his question, Xie Xianyu's shadow was almost gone.
He quickly jumped on his horse and rode after him.
When Xie Xianyu rushed to the camp, Yu Zhen, the counselor of King Jin, was already waiting there.
"Where is she?!" Xie Xianyu dismounted and strode over with a gloomy face.
Yu Zhen was a lean middle-aged man with a shrewd face. Shocked by Xie Xianyu's cold and gloomy aura, he shrank back at first and couldn't help but take two steps back.
In his heart, he was secretly delighted that the Northern Liang Crown Prince had made the right bet. Even Lord Xie, who was always calm and composed and whose emotions could not be seen, could not help but lose control at times.
It can be seen that the woman is really capable. In this round, Prince Jin really won the bet!
"Master Xie, please be patient. I am only following the princess's orders to ask Miss Bai to come and check on your pulse. Prince Jin has always valued Master Xie. As long as Master Xie is willing, Prince Jin and the princess will treat Miss Bai with courtesy!"
These words may sound polite, but they are full of threats!
Su Yan's face changed. This was trouble. The old fox King Jin actually had this trick up his sleeve.
Now the King of Jin's men have infiltrated the enclosure. If we don't send a signal to let people know that the King of Jin is planning a rebellion in the enclosure, then the King of Jin will most likely take this opportunity to kill King Xuan and the Emperor in the enclosure!
There's really no way to save the situation.
The battle for the throne is already bloody and even the slightest difference can overturn one's fate.
Xie Xianyu stared at Yu Zhen, his gaze piercingly cold. "I say, where is she?!"
Yu Zhen suddenly felt as if a thorn was thorned in his back, and cold sweat broke out on his back. He shrank back and took two steps back, fearing that the King of Hell would be furious and kill him with a single blow.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from far away.
Yu Zhen hurriedly said, "Here she comes! Here she comes! Sir Xie, look, Miss Bai is in that carriage!"
Yu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the carriage, and finally felt safe. It was not only the Prince of Jin's trump card, but also his life-saving talisman.
Xie Xianyu turned around with a gloomy face and saw a group of soldiers "escorting" a blue-gray carriage galloping towards him. His heart suddenly tightened.
The carriage stopped ahead, and Yu Zhen finally dared to step forward, saying with a wry smile, "Prince Jin has always valued talent. Lord Xie is extremely capable, so it's time for him to recognize who his true leader is. Lord Xie, if you turn back in time, the Prince of Jin will certainly not treat you unfairly, nor will he treat Miss Bai unfairly."
"If not..." Yu Zhen smiled maliciously, "It would hurt the relationship. It would be a pity for Miss Bai, such a beautiful woman, to die so young. Master Xie wouldn't be able to bear it, right?"
Su Yan held his forehead with his hand, his heart pounding. It's over, it's all over now.
Xie Xianyu clenched his fists in his sleeves, veins bulging, and stared at the gray carriage with an extremely gloomy expression.
What he hated most in his life was being threatened. He always took every step carefully. He was the only one who calculated others and threatened others.
But today, it felt like someone was strangling me, and I finally understood what it meant to be helpless.
Seeing Xie Xianyu's silence, Yu Zhen knew he was probably wavering. She simply fanned the flames and shouted, "Someone, bring Miss Bai out, so Young Master Xie won't worry."
A leader then stepped forward and opened the door of the carriage.
But the first person to bend down and walk out was not Wanruo, but Jingzhao.
Following closely behind was Wanruo, who held a dagger against his neck.
Everyone's faces changed immediately, and Jin Wang's group of people raised their spears and pointed them at her.
Yu Zhen was even more frightened and exclaimed: "How dare you! Do you know who you are holding captive?"
Wanruo's knuckles turned white as she gripped the dagger, the blood-stained blade pressing firmly against Jingzhao's neck: "Everyone, retreat, or I'll kill him."
Xie Xianyu was stunned for a moment, and the hostility between his brows disappeared instantly.
Su Yan was stunned. What was going on?!
