Chapter 255 Hand over the Jade Seal and I’ll Spare Your Life
Xiangying hesitated for a moment, then decisively reached out to sign.
Fang Gan quickly put away the receipt, his face full of smiles.
"Just wait for my good news."
"Don't make me wait too long. Otherwise, if I am tortured to death by the Emperor of Nanyue and you still haven't found Yin Feihua, then there is no need for me to fulfill my promise."
Fang Gan looked at her deeply and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely turn the tide before you die!"
He was about to leave when Xiangying suddenly called him.
"Fang Gan, show me your sister's portrait again."
"What are you looking at?" Fang Gan became alert.
"I just suddenly remembered that I seemed to have seen her somewhere."
Fang laughed dryly and pulled out the small picture of the woman from his chest.
Just like before, the girl in the portrait had a mole on the tip of her nose.
Fang Gan's voice was a little indifferent.
"In fact, you already knew that I lied to you. My sister died a long time ago, but you never exposed it. Why do you have to see it now?"
"I wanted to confirm whether your sister really existed. Now I have confirmed it."
Xiangying nodded at him.
Because, if it wasn't a small statue of his sister, he wouldn't have kept it with him all the time.
Most likely there really is such a person, but unfortunately he is dead.
Fang Gan glanced at her, pursed his lips, and didn't continue the topic. Instead, he waved his hand and said, "Wait for my good news!"
After saying this, he and his four followers took quick steps and disappeared into the night.
Fang Gan's Qinggong is still as amazing as ever.
In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the woods, without disturbing even a fallen leaf.
Xiangying clicked his tongue and shook his head, "With such amazing skills, I don't know why he has to ride in a sedan chair."
She turned back to the camp where she was stationed.
Ah Ren came over quickly, with a hint of anxiety in the boy's brow.
"Sister, I just overheard that the deputy general and his men were going to pick up the eldest prince."
"Oh...then why are you in such a hurry?"
"The skinny monkey said that the eldest prince came here with a mission this time. He must find out the whereabouts of the imperial seal from you. If you are willing to tell me, I can unlock your shackles on the spot. If you refuse... I don't know what your fate will be."
Xiangying's eyes were indifferent.
She had been prepared since entering South Vietnam.
If it weren't for the imperial seal, these people would not have allowed her to live until now.
She patted Ren's head soothingly.
"Don't be afraid, I can protect myself. All you need to do, Ah Ren, is to take good care of my three cubs when danger comes. Tao Xue and Qi Fengyi will follow you."
Ah Ren was anxious: "No! I want to follow my sister! This is how it should be no matter where we go."
Xiangying shook his head.
"Not at this moment. I can't leave yet."
She has already walked right to the treasure house, and all she needs to do is empty out their palace. How could she possibly leave now?
Ah Ren looked at her in silence until Xiangying said, "Ah Ren, if you were my brother, you would listen to me and help me share my worries."
After hearing this, Aren nodded heavily and agreed.
The skinny monkey may have received instructions from Jie Chen, and he ran around everywhere when the eldest prince was not here.
It looked like he wanted to protect Xiangying, and asked everyone to stop talking nonsense for a while.
Xiangying was very calm, not nervous or afraid at all, and took the opportunity to inquire about the other party's background and strength.
I heard that this eldest prince was the eldest son born out of wedlock. Although he was born out of wedlock, his mother was very favored and trusted by the Emperor of Nanyue.
In the current competition for the crown prince of South Vietnam, the eldest prince is a strong contender, and the rest are the fourth prince and the sixth prince.
The Sixth Prince is slightly inferior because of his background.
The fourth prince is the queen's legitimate son, so naturally he has the support of many old ministers.
Xiangying got to know each of these princes and felt that each of them had their own advantages, and the most pitiful one was her Jie Chen.
He was not loved by his father, had no love from his mother, and had half the blood of the Western Zhou people flowing in his body. He was never truly accepted by the Emperor of Nanyue.
Thinking of this, Xiangying decided that he must completely empty the palace when the time comes.
Not even a pair of underwear will be left for them.
Prince Yong deliberately found Xiangying and warned him coldly: "As long as you don't talk nonsense later, I will protect you for the sake of...Jie Chen, but if you are looking for death, I can't do anything about it."
Xiangying glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I won't seek death. I will definitely not say anything later."
The important thing is to wait patiently until you can enter the city!
Prince Yong glanced at Ah Ren in front of her. This child looked at everyone except Xiangying with a wolf cub's ferocious gaze.
Prince Yong originally wanted to remind Xiangying to let the child stay with him first, so as to avoid him angering the eldest prince, but when the words came to his lips, Prince Yong still didn't say them.
At daybreak, the sound of galloping horses approached the camp.
According to the rules, Skinny Monkey called all the exiled prisoners out of the tent.
But we can’t let the eldest prince see that they have a comfortable place to live and sleep, otherwise he might find fault with them.
The Sixth Prince was also supported by Xiang Qianqian and stood in front of them.
At this moment, his pale face still looked a little haggard, as if he had not yet fully recovered from his illness.
But Xiangying knew that he was completely pretending.
She had already cured the Sixth Prince!
Seeing that the Sixth Prince was pretending to be sick and trying to avoid the spotlight, she had already guessed how difficult the eldest prince would be.
The sound of horse-drawn carriages jingled as a large number of people and horses entered the camp.
The first to go were Jie Chen and the general. They both dismounted from their horses and went to the carriage, waiting for the eldest prince to come down.
The guards lifted the curtain and moved in a short stool. A man in his late thirties, wearing a heavy brown robe, walked down.
He always had a smile on his face, and said to Jie Chen: "Thank you for accompanying me for such a long time. When I return to see my father, I will definitely say a few good words for you."
The general bowed and said, "Your Highness, thank you for your praise. I am very honored."
The eldest prince's smile had not faded, but his eyes were like knives, piercing at the exiled prisoner.
"Who is Xiangying?" he asked directly.
However, Xiangying felt that he obviously knew who she was.
Because although the eldest prince's tone was questioning, his eyes fell directly on her.
So, Xiangying didn't hide or give way, but stepped forward directly.
"It's me."
"How dare you!" the guards beside the eldest prince shouted, "Why don't you pay your respects to the eldest prince?"
Xiangying raised his head slightly: "The rules of the Western Zhou Dynasty are crude and vulgar. They never taught me how to pay respect to the prince of an enemy country."
The guard drew his sword and said, "You are looking for death!"
At this moment, the eldest prince reached out to stop his guards.
"You shouldn't be so rude to a girl. It doesn't matter. Xiangying was the eldest princess of the Western Zhou Dynasty. She should have some backbone. I admire her for that."
The eldest prince said this and walked towards Xiangying with a smile.
"You've been exhausted on the journey. This place is not like the old Western Zhou Dynasty, where you can continue to act recklessly. But since we are both royal relatives, I will forgive you this time."
"Xiangying, let's talk for a moment." His intentions were too obvious, and I didn't even want to wait.
Xiangying said bluntly: "If Your Highness wants to ask about the imperial seal, don't ask, because I don't know where the imperial seal is."
It's not a typo. It's just that Fang Gan was too stupid to react.
