Chapter 282 Lin Xiaoyue Meets Prince Rong
Lin Xiaoyue shook her head and refused: "I won't leave. If we leave now, we should leave together. I can't let you stay here alone."
The drunkard knew Prince Rong's temper very well and tried to persuade him, "Girl, listen to your father and leave for a few days. If Prince Rong changes his mind one day, it won't be too late for you to come back! It's not safe for you to stay here now!"
Lin Xiaoyue felt that leaving like this was not her style, so she insisted, "Dad, I'm not leaving! Don't try to persuade me about this anymore. I have things to do outside, so I'm leaving first."
The drunkard looked at Lin Xiaoyue's departing figure, sighed helplessly, and said, "What a stubborn girl!"
At this time, Lin Xiaoyue had just walked outside when one of Prince Rong's personal guards came over.
The guard spoke politely, saying, "Miss Lin, our prince invites you!"
Lin Xiaoyue didn't think of escaping, so she nodded and said, "Okay, lead the way!"
The personal guards took Lin Xiaoyue directly to the backyard of the Jueweilou branch.
Lin Xiaoyue stood before Prince Rong, bowed earnestly, and said, "I greet Prince Rong."
Prince Rong looked Lin Xiaoyue up and down and felt that this woman was not particularly good-looking and her family background was too humble. What was it about her that attracted his son?
"Are you the sweetheart of my Jingyao?" Prince Rong asked directly.
Although Lin Xiaoyue was mentally prepared, she was still shocked by Prince Rong's words. Isn't this prince really too direct?
"It's me." Lin Xiaoyue answered frankly without blushing or beating her heart.
Prince Rong was somewhat impressed by Lin Xiaoyue's straightforward answer and continued, "Then do you think you are worthy of my Jingyao?"
Lin Xiaoyue nodded and said, "It matches!"
This actually made Prince Rong stunned. He felt that Lin Xiaoyue was either stupid or foolish. How could she not even have the shyness and humility of a woman?
"I don't think you are suitable!" Prince Rong said with a grim expression.
Lin Xiaoyue had long expected that Prince Rong would express his opposition. She had seen many such plots in TV dramas and novels about domineering CEOs before she traveled through time. But why should she listen to him?
"Your Highness, I don't want to say that everyone is equal, but it is Brother Liang's right to like whoever he wants and whoever he wants to be with. As for the matter between him and me, unless he says such words to me in person one day, I won't believe anyone who says it! I have something else to do, goodbye!" Lin Xiaoyue bowed again without being humble or arrogant, and then left Prince Rong's courtyard without looking back.
Just at this time, Liang Jingyao brought General Gu Liqiang of the Tiger Roar Army and Captain Yan Yi of the Cheetah Army into his own restaurant.
"Yue'er, why are you here?" Liang Jingyao asked in surprise.
Lin Xiaoyue answered frankly: "The prince asked me to come, and I left after questioning."
Liang Jingyao felt something was wrong, so he asked Gu Liqiang and Yan Yi to go in first. He then pulled Lin Xiaoyue along and continued to ask, "What did the king ask you?"
Lin Xiaoyue recounted her conversation with Prince Rong without reservation, "That's all. If Brother Liang has nothing else to say, I'll be leaving first."
Liang Jingyao originally thought that his father would not object to him and Yue'er being together, but he didn't expect that his father would actually meet Yue'er alone without his knowledge and even directly said that it was inappropriate! His father was really too much!
"Yue'er, don't be angry! Father doesn't understand you now, but after you spend some time together, he will find out your good side!" Liang Jingyao was afraid that Lin Xiaoyue would be angry and run away, so he stared at Lin Xiaoyue's eyes nervously, and even unconsciously increased the strength of his hand holding Lin Xiaoyue.
"Hiss!" Lin Xiaoyue felt pain and pulled her hand out to rub it. She said, "It's okay. Brother Liang, please go in quickly. Dad must be busy again. I have to go over and help."
Liang Jingyao looked at Lin Xiaoyue's red wrist and said self-reproachfully, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. Well, I'll come find you later, you have to wait for me!"
Lin Xiaoyue nodded and walked out.
In the courtyard, Prince Rong was very dissatisfied with Liang Jingyao, who had just come in. He asked with a sullen face, "Didn't you come here with Gu Liqiang and Yan Yi? Why did you come in just now?"
Liang Jingyao's face was just as grim. "Father, why are you asking questions when you already know the answer? Yue'er is such a good girl, why are you making things difficult for her? Do you know how much support and help she has given me during this time? How many times has she risked her life to save me? She is a thousand times better than those famous ladies!"
This was the first time that Prince Rong heard Liang Jingyao praise Lin Xiaoyue like this. It seemed that Lin Xiaoyue was indeed capable, but he still had to investigate whether these things were true. In short, it was not so easy to enter Prince Rong's mansion!
"Okay, what are you doing here? Is it just to question your father?" Prince Rong glared at Liang Jingyao unhappily.
Liang Jingyao said reluctantly: "I'm sorry, father."
Prince Rong turned to look at Guliqiang and Yan Yi. These two were indeed the most skilled martial artists around him. There was not a single injury on their bodies!
Alas, if Yan Yi had not been transferred to the Cheetah Army in order to help Jing Yao build a team of his own, with Yan Yi's martial arts and qualifications, he would have been more than qualified to be the deputy general of the Tiger Roar Army!
But this brat Jingyao is now turning against me for a woman. It's true that a grown-up son cannot be under the control of his father!
"What happened to those people from Jianghu Ling?" Prince Rong was so angry that he looked at Yan Yi when asking the question.
Yan Yi felt that the atmosphere was not right since he entered the door, so he kept his head down, so he didn't notice that Prince Rong was looking at him.
Seeing Yan Yi remained silent, Liang Jingyao spoke up for him, "All of the Jianghu Order members were killed. We also caught one who escaped. It seems he's an elder in the Jianghu Order. What should we do with him?"
Prince Rong wiped his throat and said, "Kill them. There's no point in keeping them alive. These Jianghu sects are restless and want to get involved in the court. They deserve death!"
Liang Jingyao replied, "Yes, I'll have someone take care of it right away. One more thing, when does father plan to attack the capital?"
Prince Rong rubbed his sore temples and said wearily, "Rest for three days, then send out the troops! This time, only success is allowed, no failure!"
Liang Jingyao's heart suddenly started beating rapidly. He had been waiting for this day for too long!
"Yes, we will definitely drive Emperor Liang off the throne! Father, please wait here for news of our victory!"
Prince Rong shook his head and said, "Don't think I'm old. I can still fight! I'll set off with everyone in three days. That's it!"
Liang Jingyao felt sorry for Prince Rong who had been suffering from a cold for many years, and advised him, "Father, you should stay here to recuperate. I will let the old drunkard live here, so that your cold will heal faster!"
