Chapter 1733: Kidnapped!

Translator: Lonelytree

Lin Yuelan sighed softly in her heart. Then, her expression changed and became extremely stern. She said coldly,” Your Royal Highness, please take a look at what’s on your stomach before we talk!”

Yuwen Xuhong immediately said doubtfully,” There’s nothing on my stomach…” As he said this, his eyes slowly glanced down. However, his eyes suddenly widened, and there was obvious shock and fear in his eyes.

He looked at Xiao Jingyu in disbelief. After a long time, he muttered, “You…” However, you didn’t say anything after that.

Apart from Lin Yuelan, no one knew what had happened. Why did the eldest grand prince’s expression suddenly become so terrified and uneasy?

At this moment, Lin Yuelan seemed to be adding oil to the fire. She said,”

Imperial grandprince, what’s wrong? Can you tell us what you see now?”

Seeing that his scheme was exposed, Xiao Jingyu immediately flew into a rage out of humiliation and shouted at Lin Yuelan,” Shut up!’

Following that, she no longer tried to conceal herself. Instead, her movements were swift and agile. She flashed in front of Yuwen Xuhong and retreated behind him. With one hand wrapped around his neck and the other holding a dagger, she pointed it at his neck. Her gaze swept across everyone present. Then, she met the Emperor’s gaze and said with ruthlessness,” Your Majesty, let me leave immediately. Otherwise, l…” As she spoke, she stabbed the dagger towards Yuwen Xuhongs neck.

All the officials present were shocked by this unexpected turn of events.

After they reacted, someone immediately shouted,” Guards, protect the grandprince! ”

Very soon, the imperial guards entered and surrounded Xiao Jingyu and her husband in an instant.

Yuwen Xuhong was completely dumbfounded.

He was not scared silly, but rather, he was at a loss because of the sudden accident.

He raised his head slightly and wanted to distance himself from her. He pointed his dagger at her and said,”Yu ‘Er, what’s wrong with you? You don’t

have to be afraid. I’ll protect you. Let go of me first, okay?”

Xiao Jingyu snorted coldly and said,” Hmph, can you protect me? Stop dreaming. If you could protect me, I wouldn’t be tied up here today.”

She then looked around with disdain and contempt in her eyes. Finally, she looked at Yuwen Longyan and said,” Your Majesty, if you let me go, I will let your grandson go. What do you think?”

Although Yuwen Longyan was worried about Yuwen Xuhongs safety, he could not compromise.

He expressed his doubt and said,” If I let you go, will you really let Hong ‘er

Xiao Jingyu nodded matter-of-factly.” Of course. My original goal was to leave this place. As long as I can leave the capital and return to the Black Cloud Kingdom safely, I will naturally let go of the imperial grandprince. Your Majesty, what happens to the imperial grandprince is up to you. Otherwise, I will die with the imperial grandprince. Even if I die, I won’t lose out if I drag an imperial grandprince down with me!”

However, the ministers were still confused.

The interrogation hadn’t even begun, and the matter was still unclear, but Xiao Jingyu had already taken the imperial grand prince hostage.

Moreover, looking at Xiao Jingyu’s agile movements, it seemed that she was also a martial artist. Therefore, they were all deceived by Xiao Jingyu’s weak appearance just now.

Now that the imperial grandprince had suddenly become her hostage, the Emperor was not the only one who was anxious. The civil and military officials were also very anxious, especially Prime Minister Chen, who was extremely worried.

After all, the eldest grandprince was also his grandson, the only grandson left behind by his eldest sister.

Prime Minister Chen shouted nervously,” Princess Linglong, let’s talk things out. Be careful not to hurt His Royal Highness.”

Xiao Jingyu sneered.” Lord Chen, I did try to talk nicely. The only thing I want now is to leave the capital. So, it depends on what Your Majesty wants to do.” Prime Minister Chen looked pleadingly at the Emperor and shouted,” Your Majesty…”

The Emperor did not panic. Instead, he looked at Xiao Jingyu calmly and asked sternly,” Xiao Jingyu, are you sure you want to kidnap the eldest grandprince and leave the capital to return to the Black Clouds Kingdom?”

“Of course, I’m sure!” Xiao Jingyu curled her lips and sneered.” Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible!”

However, Yuwen Longyan flung the sleeves of his yellow dragon robe and snorted coldly.” Xiao Jingyu, you’re really bold. You actually dare to hold my imperial grandson hostage. Do you want to start a war between the two countries? Don’t forget that you’re a princess who’s here by marriage. You have the responsibility and obligation to maintain the peace and stability of the two countries! Besides, do you think that the Emperor of Black Clouds Kingdom will let you off after you return to Black Clouds Kingdom?” Xiao Jingyu was stunned by Yuwen Longyan’s words.

Indeed, as Yuwen Longyan said, even if she returned to the Black Clouds

Kingdom, the Emperor of the Black Clouds Kingdom would not let her off.

However, the reason was not that she was holding the imperial grand prince hostage but that her mission had failed.

The ultimate purpose of Xiao Jingrui saving her and arranging for her to marry into the Longyan Dynasty was to sow discord between Jiang Zhennan and Lin Yuelan and the Emperor’s royal family, as well as between the princes and grandchildren of the royal family and between the Emperor and the ministers of the imperial court. The purpose was to make the entire imperial court divided.

However, what made her angry was that no matter how she tried to sow discord, Yuwen Longyan trusted Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan without any bottom line.

As for the other officials, they didn’t know why they were so afraid of a country bumpkin like Lin Yuelan. She was so angry that she almost fell ill.

This morning, when she heard that Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan were coming to court, she had a bad feeling.

Therefore, she only brought some important things and immediately left the Imperial grandprince Manor.

However, she was caught at the city gate.

She knew that when everything was revealed, she would definitely not have a good ending. Since that was the case, she would strike first and leave this place.

Xiao Jingyu sneered.” Hehe, so what? I just want to leave this place alive!”

“Princess Linglong, don’t you think you can still be a princess after you leave this place and return to the Black Clouds Kingdom?” Prime Minister Chen pointed out the truth. ” At least, if you let His Royal Highness go now, you will still be the princess of the marriage alliance. We will definitely not pursue this matter. Right, Your Majesty?”

Prime Minister Chen was truly anxious.

If Xiao Jingyu really did something to hurt the eldest grandson, how could he have the face to see his eldest sister when he went underground?

In his desperation, he seemed to have forgotten his identity as an official and had a feeling of overstepping his authority.

Yuwen Longyan didn’t care too much about his former empress’ brother.

He nodded and said to Xiao Jingyu,” Princess Linglong, I advise you to stop and repent. If you let go of the eldest grandprince now, I won’t hold it against you!” Of course, he was referring to the matter of kidnapping the eldest grandprince. As for the rest, hehe…

Xiao Jingyu was a smart person. She wouldn’t be fooled at all.

However, Xiao Jingyu snorted coldly and said,” Hmph, cut the crap. Let me leave immediately. Otherwise, I’ll go to hell with him!” As she said this, the dagger pierced deeper into his skin, causing blood to seep out.

Yuwen Xuhongs expression changed drastically again. His face was a little pale as he said,” Yu ‘er, don’t be rash. l… I love you so much. How can you bear to…” Let me die? This was what he had been wanting to ask since the beginning.

Xiao Jingyu said,” I’m sorry, Your Highness.” Then, she shouted sternly,” Get out of the way!’

“Return to the Black Clouds Kingdom?” At this moment, Lin Yuelan looked at

Xiao Jingyu with a mocking expression.. She sneered and said,” Princess Linglong, oh, Miss Zhou, how are you going to return to the Black Clouds Kingdom?”
