Chapter 699: First Attack, First Failure
When Xiao Jingyi said this, he reached out for the wine jug, filled himself a glass of wine, picked up the glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"You two probably both still think in your hearts that I am determined to seize Leng Rongyue because I am attracted by her beauty and covet her peerless beauty, right?
I do not deny that everyone loves beauty, including me.
However, what attracted me to Miss Leng was not only her peerless beauty, but also her unique elegance and bearing - that kind of elegance and bearing that was like a phoenix proudly hovering in the sky!
This kind of demeanor, I have never seen even a little bit of it in any noble lady before!
Leng Rongyue is worthy of being the mother of a country!
She is the only one who, no matter by her talent or appearance, is qualified to stand by my side and rule the country!
As for the Anguo Mansion..."
Xiao Jingyi held the wine glass tightly, his face full of gloom.
"I have tried to show my goodwill and win them over, but they... humph! They are so ungrateful and remain unmoved!
If that's the case, then why keep them around?
Killing them with thundering means will serve as a warning to those courtiers who are equally ignorant and ungrateful. It can also be regarded as the last small thing they can do for me!
It’s just… they have been in the capital all this time, in the Duke of Anguo’s mansion, so it’s really hard for me to kill them;
This time, they went to the Qingguo Temple on Yunxiang Mountain to burn incense and worship Buddha. They left the capital and their defenses were weak. This is the best time to get rid of them!"
"That's right!
But Your Majesty, have you ever thought about it?
Your Majesty, since you think that Miss Leng is not only beautiful, but also talented.
The smart and talented Miss Leng might think in the future that there is some suspicious connection between her being kidnapped tonight and the destruction of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion tonight.
Would he ever think that the people who robbed him were the ones who exterminated the Anguo Mansion?
If that time comes, will Miss Leng, who possesses such amazing talent, still be willing to use her talent for the prince?
Are you still willing to stay by the prince's side?"
Xiao Jingyi didn't agree with what Tong Lian said, "I have thought about what Mr. Tong said.
In the future, if Leng Rongyue cannot figure out the connection between these things... then she will no longer be Leng Rongyue!
You are not worthy of my respect!
The reason why I am interested in her is mainly because I value her wisdom and talent.
She should know what is heavy and what is light?
She should also know how to make a choice——
Should I choose my grandfather’s family who have been wiped out?
Or will you choose me who will be the ruler of the world by then?
Besides, she is just the granddaughter of Duke Anguo. The Duke Anguo’s family name is Fu, but her family name, Leng Rongyue, is Leng after all.
One is the grandfather, the other is the granddaughter. Just the word "grandfather", haha... it's too far away...
What’s more, it was an outside family that no longer existed!
This king believes that the clever Leng Rongyue will not become an enemy or rival to this king who has already ruled the world, just for the sake of her grandfather's family.
I believe that she is so smart that she will be willing to stay in the honorable position of queen that I have bestowed upon her and work with me to rule the world!"
Tong Lian and Jiang Fang looked at each other... Tong Lian shook his head slightly, and then slowly said: "Since the prince has said so, the people who took action have been sent out. Let's see the time... tonight's action should have ended. There is no need for us to continue to worry about whether what has happened is appropriate or not!
Before dawn, I believe that Miss Leng will be able to secretly enter the villa!
The news of the murder of the Anguo family will be spread by Qingguo Temple.
By the time the news reached the capital, the palace, and Prince Yu’s mansion, it would already be noon!
Next, the court will send officials to the Qingguo Temple in Yunxiang Mountain to investigate;
Whether he really cares or is just pretending, His Royal Highness Prince Yu will rush there on behalf of the royal family...
In addition to finding out the so-called truth behind the extermination of the Duke of Anguo's family;
He also has to pretend to be a loving and loyal fiancé in front of the world and look for his missing fiancée!
Hehe...My fiancée was kidnapped in the middle of the night and has been missing ever since. Even if she is found later, will His Royal Highness Prince Yu still marry her?
will not!
Since you won't marry again, would you still look for her with all your heart?
of course not!
In the end, it was nothing more than holding a grand ritual at Qingguo Temple to pray for the souls of the Anguo family.
It was then announced to the public that Miss Leng had disappeared without a trace and it was determined that she had died in order to protect her reputation.
With this, the incident of the annihilation of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion and the kidnapping of Miss Leng was declared over after continuing to ferment for some time.
This is just the process.
During this process, our Prince Yi's Mansion must not be suspected of anything, but we cannot stay out of it coldly! Staying out of it completely will also arouse suspicion from others.
In front of the current emperor and queen, Your Majesty, you must be a good and filial nephew;
In front of His Royal Highness Prince Yu, you must also be a good brother who cares about his brothers!
At the same time, we have to quietly make plans for the next step.
Once this storm is over, we will proceed to the next step.
Oh, by the way, Your Majesty..."
Tong Lian looked at Xiao Jingyu, "The villa...it's better for Your Majesty not to go there for a while!
Be careful not to be discovered, not to mention that Miss Leng...is not even 15 years old yet!"
Xiao Jingyi was secretly thinking in his mind... he had to find some time to go to the villa and see Leng Rongyue, the girl he had admired for days and finally got.
As a result, the plan was shattered by Tong Lian's words before it was even formed!
Xiao Jingyu, whose thoughts were seen through, coughed twice in embarrassment and said, "I will not go to the other courtyard in the near future."
After saying that, Xiao Jingyu smiled sinisterly again and said, "The Anguo family can be considered lucky. They even chose a good place to die. They were directly sent to paradise!"
Xiao Jingyu didn't know at this time that the person who was being saved was the person he sent.
The last eight people...are being saved...
