Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage-Chapter 1358 - 1357: The Man’s Flirtatious Behavior

Swish! A flash of silver light.

Chu Minghao felt a sudden chill on his neck, followed by a sharp sting.

Lowering his head, he saw a long sword pressed against his throat.

It was Jingri’s sword!

"Don’t harm the Crown Prince!" Gui Tong exclaimed in a panicked whisper.

The guards, each armed with long swords, surrounded Jingri and Chu Minghao tightly, but none dared to take a step forward.

"You... If you dare harm a single strand of my hair, my father will never let you go!"

Chu Minghao, both furious and alarmed, wished he could order Jingri to be torn to pieces, yet he was so terrified that he dared not move.

"I have no intention of harming you, Crown Prince. However, if you insist on hurting the Princess and my Prince, I will have no choice but to live and die with my Prince."

"As for you, Crown Prince..."

Jingri tightened his grip, and Chu Minghao immediately felt increased pressure on his neck. The sharp pain intensified instantly.

It seemed as though something thick and sticky was sliding down.

It was his blood...

Chu Minghao’s legs turned to jelly in fear.

Jingri spoke in a grave tone, "Since you can’t even protect your own life, do you think I would care about the life of the Crown Prince?"

"You... You..."

For a moment, Chu Minghao was utterly lost for solutions.

From a distance, someone was being carried out of the heavily infected area. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

However, as the two guards carrying the person seemed to grasp the situation outside clearly, after setting the person down, they immediately rushed back in.

They were likely going to report the situation to Feng Yexuan and Chu Qianli.

This can’t wait any longer!

Everyone knew that the body being carried out was definitely not Chu Qianli or Feng Yexuan.

If they continued to wait for the two to come out, the truth would become glaringly apparent. Chu Minghao wouldn’t be able to continue using the excuse that the Princess had passed away and that the infected corpses needed to be burned.

No, he couldn’t let this damned Jingri ruin all his plans!

Today, Chu Qianli must die no matter what!

"Mr. Lan... National Advisor!"

Chu Minghao suddenly called out loudly.

Standing in the distance, observing coldly, Lan Fan’s eyes flashed with a trace of annoyance.

This matter held no appeal for him.

However, having been named, failing to step forward now would mean severing ties entirely with the Prince Residence.

Even though he now preferred collaborating with Chu Qianli,

this was merely his unilateral inclination. That wretched girl Chu Qianli would likely never agree to cooperate with him easily.

After weighing the options multiple times, for now, the Prince Residence still seemed more valuable to him.

"The Princess and Prince are still inside fighting to save lives—what are you all doing?"

Lan Fan walked over slowly and coughed lightly. His posture and demeanor were reminiscent of a frail beauty like Xishi.

Admittedly, it appeared to be a trait unique to the Lan Family lineage—no matter the gender, as long as a hint of weakness showed in one’s expression, an alluring charm seemed to emerge.

Jingri glanced at him briefly and felt an inexplicable softening of his stance.

Rumor had it that Lan Fan had suffered severe internal injuries, rendering him unable to perform any Illusion Techniques at this moment.

Because of that, Jingri’s guard lowered ever so slightly.

Lan Fan approached the two, coughing softly twice, his shoulders shivering faintly.

He lifted his gaze toward Jingri and spoke gently, "The Princess and Prince are earnestly striving to save lives inside; why must you fight amongst yourselves out here?"

"I..."

"If we cannot unite at this critical moment, wouldn’t that mean we distrust the Prince and Princess, would it not?"

Lan Fan’s slender fingers reached for Jingri’s sword, grasping the blade and gently moving it away from Chu Minghao’s neck.

"If you truly trust the Princess and Prince Feng, then don’t stir unnecessary conflict here, would you agree?"
