Chapter 270 I'll Risk My Life for You
Xiangying snorted.
She looked at the Sixth Prince and said, "If you kill Xiang Qianqian, I will give you the Imperial Seal."
Xiang Qianqian was startled and her face suddenly turned pale.
This Xiangying actually turned the tables!
The Sixth Prince was wiping the wound on the back of his hand caused by the fragments with a handkerchief.
Hearing this, he frowned tightly and looked at Xiang Ying with deep eyes, and finally fell on Xiang Qianqian.
Xiangying never likes to be coerced, she is the only one who threatens others!
A sneer appeared on her red lips.
"Sixth Prince, you must seize the opportunity. When the eldest prince and the emperor wake up, it will not be your turn to take the imperial seal."
Xiang Qianqian said anxiously, "Shut up! Your Highness, don't listen to her nonsense. She doesn't have the imperial seal at all. She is just trying to sow discord here on purpose."
Xiangying snorted, "Now you're saying I don't have the imperial seal? Then what you just said was just bullshit?"
Xiang Qianqian's face tensed up, and just as she was about to speak, the Sixth Prince beside her suddenly shouted, "Shut up!"
She suddenly shrank back and took two steps back.
The Sixth Prince walked forward, covering his injured hand. Before he got close to Xiangying, he saw a figure who immediately ran over and stood in front of Xiangying.
It’s Jie Chen.
He had just been hit on the brow by a flying tile, and now a long, winding stream of blood was flowing down his stern face.
Xiangying was heartbroken when he saw it.
It’s over, it’s over. Not only did she kill others with one shot, she also injured her Jie Chen!
The Sixth Prince and Jie Chen looked into each other's eyes, and they were on the verge of a fight.
"Jie Chen, what are you trying to do? Protecting Xiangying?"
"It's not your turn to decide how to deal with her." Xie Chen said, then turned to look at Xiangying, "Come with me."
As soon as he grabbed her wrist, he wanted to take her away from here.
However, the Sixth Prince did not say anything, and the archers immediately aimed their bows at Li Chen's heart.
"Just take a step forward if you dare!" the Sixth Prince raised his voice.
Xie Chen's face was stern, his eyes were like the abyss, he completely protected Xiang Ying behind him, and was determined to lead her through the vast army.
The sour scholar rushed over and held up the token: "This is the tenth prince. According to the laws of our dynasty, anyone who dares to attack the prince's grandson will be killed without mercy!"
When the token shining with golden light was revealed, all the archers were stunned and put down their arrows.
The Sixth Prince was angry: "What are you afraid of! Father did not recognize his identity."
"If there is no recognition, why would our Highness have such a token?" the sour scholar asked, leaving the Sixth Prince speechless.
Jie Chen held Xiangying's hand tightly and pulled her to the door.
The Sixth Prince gnashed his teeth unwillingly and said, "Ling Yanlan, just go ahead. You can see if you can get out of this door today. If the emperor wakes up tomorrow, will he kill you?"
"You forgot that he hated Xi Zhou and your mother the most. How did you manage to survive under his hands?"
Xie Chen did not stop and ignored his words.
He pulled Xiangying and quickly walked out of the messy hall.
At this time, a solitary moon was hanging high in the sky, shining on the white jade steps outside, a cold deep blue.
The imperial guards who came from outside held spears in their hands and stared at them vigilantly, but did not dare to take any action.
When Xie Chen was quickly walking down the stairs holding Xiangying's hand, he suddenly felt that Xiangying was not walking behind him.
He looked back: "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Let me hold you."
Jie Chen reached out his hand but was stopped by Xiang Ying.
She stood on the steps, and he was at the bottom. The night breeze blew, and Xiangying's soft black hair fluttered gently in the air.
Her phoenix eyes were exceptionally bright, as bright as the stars in the sky, hiding her deep love for Jie Chen.
"I'm sorry, I hurt you by mistake just now." Xiangying said, taking out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiping the blood from his brow.
Xie Chen's brows moved slightly: "Now is not the time to talk about this, I will send you out of the palace first, and you will meet up with your brother."
Xiangying pressed the handkerchief into his hand and announced his decision.
"I'm not leaving."
"Why? When Ling Su wakes up, you'll be dead!"
"No, he still has some use for me. I guess he won't execute me so quickly."
Xiangying held his hand and looked up at Jie Chen with eyes filled with anxiety and confusion.
She comforted him softly, "Do you remember our goal? We have come this far. If we take one more step forward, we will succeed. I will not back down at this time."
"If I back down, I would be sorry for all the injustices I've seen along the way, and for all the hardships I've endured."
She hasn't even finished moving into the imperial city yet; after all, it's too big.
Xiangying will not leave now.
She is not afraid of death because no one can take her life!
Xie Chen's cold tone rarely became impatient: "It's already this time, you..."
Before he could finish his words, Xiangying lowered her head slightly, leaned forward and kissed him on the lips.
Fortunately, she was standing on the steps now, otherwise, with her height, she would have to stand on tiptoe to kiss Jie Chen.
This kiss stunned the surrounding imperial guards and also stunned Jie Chen.
Under the moonlight, his eyes were dark and his voice became low and hoarse.
"Xiangying, what do you want to do?"
"I want Nanyue, I want to restore the Western Zhou Dynasty." She said decisively.
Jie Chen looked at her in a daze.
Xiangying pursed her lips and said, "From now on, you are the prince of South Vietnam, and I am the princess of a fallen country. We are on opposite sides, so you don't have to worry about me. I will go after my goal and will not change for anyone."
"Jie Chen, don't bear the blame for me anymore. Let's go our separate ways right here!"
Xie Chenbo's eyes were bloodshot and he looked at her redly.
He knows Sang-yeong too well.
She did like him, but she knew better what she wanted.
Once she makes her decision, love won't stand in her way.
"I can risk my life for you," Xie Chen said in a hoarse voice, "I can help you."
Xiangying smiled. Under the moonlight, her smile looked particularly pretty and sweet.
"No need. I will fight for what I want. Jie Chen, let's work hard on our own and meet each other after the storm."
After saying that, she dropped the dagger in her hand and walked towards the imperial guards.
Xiangying held out his hand: "You can catch me now."
Jie Chen looked at her back with complicated eyes, watching her walk towards the imperial guards step by step without even looking back.
He knew clearly that Xiangying was not giving up on him, but was afraid that he would be charged with treason for her.
So she chose to walk this path alone. Jie Chen felt like there was a fire burning in his heart, ready to tear him apart.
Xiangying was eventually captured by the imperial guards and thrown into jail.
However, the news that she had detonated the palace and almost killed the emperor spread throughout the capital within just two days.
Ling Su survived but one of his eyes was injured in the explosion.
While he was still lying on his sickbed, the eldest prince and the sixth prince in the court took the lead in submitting a memorial demanding the execution of Xiangying.
