Chapter 1178 Frequent Appearances of Noble People and a Series of Shocks
Just as Crown Prince Xiao Jingye was about to say something, he looked up and saw Leng Rongyue's large eyes staring at him with bright light...
Xiao Jingyu also noticed the unusual look Leng Rongyue was giving his elder brother.
The two brothers exchanged a glance and then looked at Leng Rongyue in unison, "Yue'er, what's wrong with you...?"
The two brothers spoke in unison.
"Your Highness Prince Yu, Your Highness Crown Prince, Yue'er wants to ask you... Do all members of your royal family have the same or similar object as proof of identity?"
For example... a jade pendant... or a jade plaque?
After exchanging glances again, Xiao Jingyu and Xiao Jingye nodded in unison, "Yes!"
We both have the same dragon-patterned jade pendant, only the characters engraved on them are different.
One side of the jade pendant is engraved with the last character of our names—
Mine is "Ye", and Ayu's is "Yu"...
At this point, a barely perceptible chill appeared on Crown Prince Xiao Jingye's lips, "The jade pendant of that Prince Yi naturally has the character 'Yi' engraved on it!"
"Great!"
Upon hearing this, Leng Rongyue smiled and clapped her hands, saying, "Good!"
"Then... do you have your dragon-patterned jade pendant on you now?"
"Of course I am!"
Crown Prince Xiao Jingye nodded, "The dragon-patterned jade pendant has never left our side since the day we were born!"
As Xiao Jingye spoke, he casually lifted the hem of his brocade robe, revealing a snow-white, warm jade pendant with dragon patterns hanging inside the outer robe.
Crown Prince Xiao Jingye held up the dragon-patterned jade pendant for Leng Rongyue to see, and sure enough, the pendant was engraved with the character "Ye"!
"My dragon-patterned jade pendant is here too!"
Xiao Jingyu also lifted his outer robe, revealing a flawless jade pendant at his waist, made of the same material as the dragon-patterned jade pendant worn by Crown Prince Xiao Jingye.
Leng Rongyue looked at the two dragon-patterned jade pendants in front of her, pointed to Xiao Jingyu's pendant and said, "Your Highness Prince Yu's pendant is more similar, so let's use this one!"
"We'll go to the mine soon, and His Highness the Crown Prince can then show us this dragon-patterned jade pendant!"
"Moon, you mean... it wouldn't be...?"
Xiao Jingyu seemed to have guessed Leng Rongyue's thoughts, so he tentatively asked.
Leng Rongyue smiled, "It seems that His Highness Prince Yu has guessed what Yue'er meant!"
Indeed, His Highness the Crown Prince bears a striking resemblance to that Prince Yi.
As for the characters '煜' and '熠' on the dragon-patterned jade pendant...
At some distance, they look somewhat similar at first glance.
We might as well fabricate a story using Prince Yi's name and order Feng Jiu to gather all the soldiers and laborers in one place..."
Leng Rongyue didn't need to say anything more; Xiao Jingyu and Crown Prince Xiao Jingye both understood.
Their eyes lit up. "Great idea!"
That way, we can walk right into the mine without any problem!
Leng Rongyue nodded, then shook her head, "However..."
Leng Rongyue squinted and scrutinized Xiao Jingyu. "Your Highness Prince Yu should change your appearance a little. Just pretend you are the Crown Prince... oh no, just pretend you are Prince Yi's attendant!"
As for this princess..."
Leng Rongyue pouted, "It's not surprising that His Highness Prince Yi has many women with him when he travels. I, the princess, will just have to make do and act as His Highness Prince Yi's female bodyguard!"
The person who will introduce us is none other than Du Feng. Du Feng, you'll be here in a bit... Huh? Du Feng!
As Leng Rongyue spoke, she turned to look at Du Feng, only to see Du Feng sitting stiffly on the big rock, his mouth half-open and his eyes unmoving. At first glance, he didn't look like a living person, but rather like a wooden man!
Calling him a wooden doll would be an understatement; Du Feng was actually terrified!
When he learned that this young girl was Princess Chengxian, whom the current emperor had betrothed to Prince Yu as his principal wife, he was already scared half to death!
When Du Feng learned that the incomparably handsome man standing beside Princess Chengxian was Xiao Jingyu, the only super first-rank prince of Jingyue Kingdom, only he knew that he had been struggling between unconsciousness and lucidity!
As for who was the one who had been sitting in the carriage the whole time...
Previously, he had only guessed that the person might be a royal family elder brother of Prince Yu, a close friend, or a young official in the court.
To everyone's surprise, that person was actually the Crown Prince Xiao Jingye, the future ruler of Jingyue Kingdom!
What day is it today?
Was it a day that I was frightened?
Is it a blessing or a curse for me?
On this day, I met Princess Chengxian and His Highness Prince Yu. Now I also learned that the person with Princess Chengxian and His Highness Prince Yu is the Crown Prince!
At this moment, Du Feng was not completely terrified, which shows that he has a strong nerve!
Looking at Du Feng, who was still dumbfounded, Leng Rongyue raised her eyebrows helplessly.
"Du Feng!"
This time, Leng Rongyue raised her voice slightly.
"what?
Oh!
Yes! "
Du Feng snapped back to his senses, laboriously moving his eyes to look at Leng Rongyue, then at Xiao Jingyi, and finally at Crown Prince Xiao Jingye. His legs went weak, and he knelt down on the ground.
"This humble servant...this humble servant greets Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Du Feng touched the ground with his forehead, his body trembling with nervousness.
"Alright, you may rise now!"
The important thing right now is to get down to business!
Du Feng, you heard what we just discussed.
Think carefully about whether you want to cooperate with the next steps, as a way of making amends for your past mistakes!
Whether you live or die, and whether your family will be implicated, depends on your future actions!
