Chapter 987: Trap.
He knew that Xiao Zhan would never dare to kill him, but the threats he made today were really unbearable.
Xiao Zhan smiled: "The Second Prince loves to joke, so today I am also playing a little joke on you, what do you think?"
"Who would like this kind of joke?"
Huangfu Shang was so furious that he wished he could cut Xiao Zhan into pieces, but at this moment he couldn't even muster the strength to hold the knife.
Xiao Zhan deliberately said: "I thought you would find it interesting. Since you don't like it, then try another way next time."
There will be a next time? Huangfu Shang sneered: "Xiao Zhan, you'd better pray that you never fall into my hands, otherwise I will make you live a life worse than death."
"That's quite a boast."
Jiang Xiaoan couldn't help but sarcastically said, "You don't even have the strength to hold a knife, and you're still talking nonsense here. Aren't you afraid of spraining your tongue if you talk too much? Third cousin, I think we don't need to be polite to him, just..."
Although the words were not yet complete, the throat-slitting gesture said it all.
"Are you qualified to give orders here?"
Huangfu Shang glared at him angrily and said, “I am the prince and envoy of Tianshui Kingdom, unless Xiao Zhan wants to provoke a war between the two countries.
But Gan Guo had just experienced the war with Xixia and was seriously injured. He didn't have the courage to attack me, but was just using some despicable means to scare people."
Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoan almost jumped up. The poison he had carefully prepared was actually described as a despicable method. How could he tolerate this?
Just as he was about to explode, Jiang Xue and Jiang Yuyin walked in: "Yun Che, Second Prince, Jiang Xiaoan, what are you talking about?"
Huangfu Shang glanced at Jiang Xue and saw that she looked calm and didn't seem to know anything about it. He guessed that Xiao Zhan had done something behind her back.
Xiao Zhan only replied calmly: "I am entertaining the Second Prince."
Jiang Xiaoan couldn't help laughing: "I can testify that the hospitality was indeed very thoughtful."
"Is it considerate to want my life?" Huangfu Shang asked coldly.
Xiao Zhan smiled slightly: "I really don't understand what the Second Prince means."
"You poisoned me just now, have you forgotten so quickly?" Huangfu Shang asked.
"The Second Prince must be joking. As the prince and envoy of Tianshui Kingdom, how dare I poison you?" Xiao Zhan replied calmly.
Huangfu Shang never thought that Xiao Zhan would lie with his eyes open.
"What is this? You dare to do it but not to take responsibility. What kind of man are you?" he asked.
"I didn't do it, why should I admit it?" Xiao Zhan responded calmly.
Jiang Xiaoan also interrupted and said, "If it was really Third Cousin who was against you, would you still be standing here now? Second Prince, you must have evidence to back up your words."
Huangfu Shang was speechless for a moment. There were only him and Xiao Zhan in the room just now. Where did the evidence come from?
At this time, Jiang Xue suddenly said: "Yun Che, I know it was you who did it."
Except for Xiao Zhan who remained calm, everyone else looked at her in surprise.
You have been denying it all along, why are you revealing the truth now?
However, what made Huangfu Shang even more angry was Jiang Xue's next words: "Didn't I tell you? To deal with those you don't like, just do it directly. Why be soft-hearted?"
Jiang Xiaoan immediately agreed, "Third cousin, don't forget the eldest princess's teachings in the future.
If you meet someone you don't like, you must not show mercy. I have all kinds of poisons here, there is always one that suits you."
Huangfu Shang, who was extremely angry, grabbed the Hongming Knife and slashed at Jiang Xiaoan: "I'm going to kill you first, you bastard!"
Jiang Xiaoan quickly took a step back and avoided it: "This is the princess's residence. Why do you, a foreign prince, dare to act wildly here?"
In anger, Huangfu Shang suddenly ran out of strength and half-knelt on the ground, his eyes filled with rage.
Jiang Xue walked up to him, squatted down, looked him straight in the eyes and said:
"Huangfu Shang, what happened today is just a small lesson for you. I hope you can be more restrained. If you continue to be so presumptuous during your time in Kyoto, the consequences will be more than just this."
At this moment, Huangfu Shang saw Jiang Xue up close. Her beauty and charm made his heart beat, but the sharp light in her eyes made him frightened.
He knew that Jiang Xue was still the woman he once knew, and nothing in her heart had changed.
Just when he almost believed that Jiang Xue would really attack him if he did it again, her eyes suddenly became gentle, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth:
"Huangfu Shang, have you ever thought about why you fell into the trap so easily?"
"I was too careless."
Huangfu Shang replied, "I thought you would be afraid of me because of my identity."
“The root cause is that you don’t understand us.”
Jiang Xue explained, "This incident is to make you understand that Yun Che and I never do things according to common sense. The ideas that you think are reliable are actually not that reliable."
“For Yun Che, I am willing to give up even the vast land of Xixia, so why would I be afraid of the wrath of Tianshui?”
“When Yun Che came back to me, I swore to heaven and earth that I would do anything for him as long as it would make him happy.
If getting rid of you can make Yun Che smile, then I will act without hesitation. But..."
She paused, turned to Xiao Zhan and gave him a meaningful smile, then continued, "My Yun Che always puts national interests first.
Since he has the murderous intention to you, I will let you leave this princess's mansion safely.
After all, you are Yuyin's husband. In my opinion, I hope you can inherit the throne more than the Crown Prince Huangfu Shen of Tianshui Kingdom.
This way my sister can become the supreme queen, and I can give an explanation to my parents."
After saying that, Jiang Xue extended her hand to Jiang Xiaoan: "Antidote."
In fact, the poison in Huangfu Shang's body had begun to dissipate, so he woke up. But the remaining poison had not been cleared, causing him to still feel weak.
Although reluctant, Jiang Xiaoan still handed the antidote to Jiang Xue, and she immediately asked Huangfu Shang to take it.
As soon as the antidote went down his throat, Huangfu Shang gradually regained his spirits.
He held the Hongming Knife tightly, with mixed feelings in his heart. Noticing his actions, Jiang Xue just smiled and watched until his hand slowly loosened.
In the past, he firmly believed that Jiang Xue would not harm him for personal gain;
However, since she was willing to give up a large area of Xixia territory for Xiao Zhan, he could no longer predict her bottom line.
Perhaps, for Yun Che's happiness, she would really attack herself. Never mind, a man should be able to bend and stretch. If I am humiliated today, I will definitely return it double in the future.
"Yuyin, the Second Prince doesn't seem to be feeling well. Why don't you take him back to rest?" Jiang Xue said.
Jiang Yuyin looked at her sister, then at Huangfu Shang, and walked forward to help him.
But Huangfu Shang snorted coldly and shook her hand off. Jiang Yuyin staggered back a few steps, and Jiang Xue immediately stepped forward to support her.
"Your Highness the Second Prince."
Jiang Xue took her sister's hand and walked to Huangfu Shang, her eyes full of cold smiles: "Yuyin is pregnant now, you should be more considerate."
