Chapter 509 Hand over the Prince
The jade is smooth and gentle all over.
It's a small jade pendant, but it represents the supreme power of the King of Chu.
At this time, Xu Huaian must be looking for the whereabouts of the jade pendant in various ways.
Lin Jinglan had never seen this jade pendant, but the dragon pattern on the front of the jade pendant and the two words "Chu Gu" on the back made it clear what the jade pendant was used for.
All the secret guards of the Chu royal family can be mobilized, which is like the emperor being present in person.
Perhaps it won't play any role in Lin Jinglan's hands now, but one day in the future it may be the most crucial thing, both for himself and Gu Junheng.
The emperor's life was already coming to an end, but Xu Huaian did not even ask anyone to give the emperor proper medical treatment, and was simply keeping the emperor's life hanging on.
Once the issues at the border are resolved and all the enemies he considers are eliminated, he will certainly not spare the emperor's life. He will then put on the yellow robe and become the emperor of Great Chu.
It’s not difficult to guess what Xu Huaian is thinking.
The emperor himself knew that he was really wrong, so he wanted to do something before he died.
But in Lin Jinglan's view, these things were all afterthoughts and had no effect at all.
The people who deserved to die have died because of him, and the chaos in the Great Chu has not ended yet. No matter what the emperor does now, it will be in vain. He is the sinner of the Great Chu and a tyrant, and this is beyond doubt.
Even if you are taken advantage of, it is not worth forgiving.
But if he died at this moment, it might be a good thing for Xu Huaian, otherwise Lin Jinglan would have killed the emperor without any care when he was in the palace.
Anyway, no one really cares whether he lives or dies.
"However, many of the secret guards of the Great Chu royal family have already been found by Xu Huaian, and many have even surrendered to him. Even if we find these people, they won't be of much use."
Lin Jinglan whispered to himself.
"It seems we still have to wait. The most important thing now is to meet up with Jun Heng. I wonder if anything will happen to him."
Xu Huaian is evil to the core and will never let Gu Junheng go.
There must be something strange about the war between Chu and Yan at this time.
However, she was trapped in the palace at this time, and many things might be difficult to accomplish.
"Girl, what's wrong with you?"
A maid saw Lin Jinglan staying in the room and didn't come out. She was afraid that something might happen to her and asked worriedly.
"I'm fine, I want to go out for a walk."
Lin Jinglan hid the jade pendant close to her body. This was Xu Huaian's territory, and she didn't feel comfortable leaving it anywhere else.
"But the Regent said that you need to rest well at this moment, so it's better not to wander around."
The maid was in a dilemma, fearing that Lin Jinglan would do something strange. You know, she almost killed Xu Ximeng and Princess Qionghua just now.
One of these two people is the regent's sister, and the other is the regent's fiancée. She dares to do anything.
If they let Lin Jinglan go out and do something shocking, they really would not want to live.
"Nothing. I'll just walk around here, not far. You just follow me." Lin Jinglan didn't care about the two maids. She knew that if she stayed here and did nothing, she would not have any chance at all.
Maybe if you go out and get some fresh air, you'll feel better and may even think of other solutions.
"Aren't we leaving this afternoon? It's a good time to relax."
After saying this, Lin Jinglan walked out, and the maid had no choice but to follow him, thinking that since they were going to the North Territory in the afternoon anyway, there shouldn't be any accidents.
The palace was very close to the Imperial Garden, so she simply walked to the Imperial Garden and admired the flowers slowly, looking at them at a leisurely pace. When she saw a flower she liked, she even gently touched it with her fingers.
The maids, as well as the secret guards sent by Xu Huaian, did not notice the petals that Lin Jinglan accidentally picked up. As they gently fell to the ground, they slowly formed a pattern that was not easily noticed. It seemed to explain something, but these people did not know it.
At this time in the court, Xu Huaian sat on a chair next to the dragon throne, listening to the court ministers reporting recent events to him.
"My lord, something happened."
One of Xu Huaian's personal guards stepped forward and spoke in a low voice.
He told everything that Lin Jinglan had just done to Xu Ximeng and Qionghua.
A few people who were nearby heard a little bit and opened their eyes wide. They thought Xu Huaian would be angry, but who knew he actually laughed softly.
"Her personality is actually completely different from before. She can't stand being bullied at all. But now she has the ability to do so. Even in this situation, she is still proud."
Xu Huaian was speaking as if he was talking to himself, and he did not show any anger at all. Instead, he was full of doting, just like a husband looking at his wife who is a few years younger than him.
"As long as they are not dead, let the imperial physician treat them and warn them not to cause trouble again, otherwise I will personally do it in the future. What happened today is the first and last time."
Xu Ximeng and Qionghua were hurt so badly by Lin Jinglan, but instead of being comforted, they were reprimanded and warned.
His confidants immediately understood Lin Jinglan's position in Xu Huaian's heart, which seemed to be much higher than they had imagined.
"Yes."
The guard took the order and left. Xu Huaian was still smiling, as if he agreed with Lin Jinglan's approach.
"By the way, the battle report from the North just came in, right?"
Now the connection between the Northern Territory and the imperial court has been restored. Pigeons are sent and battle reports are received every day, but they are not sent by Gu Junheng, but by Xu Huaian's own information channels.
"Yes, the battle report said that the Yan State's attack was very fierce. It was difficult for our northern army to stop it. The two sides were in a stalemate, and both sides suffered countless casualties."
An official reported in a deep voice that those dead soldiers were all officers and soldiers of the Great Chu.
"The people are displaced, the soldiers are fighting and suffering, and countless casualties. This is not good news. If the situation continues to develop like this, the Great Chu will be in danger."
Xu Huaian spoke calmly and then stood up.
He paced back and forth, looking at the ministers below with a playful look.
"My fellow ministers, I have something to tell you. This morning, I just received a letter from the Emperor of Qin and the Monarch of Yan."
Everyone looked at Xu Huaian. Even though Xu Huaian was a traitor in their hearts at this moment, Da Chu was their common country. They believed that Xu Huaian would not let anything happen to Da Chu.
"Yan and Qin agreed to withdraw their troops and negotiate, but Yan demanded the murderer who killed their prince, while Qin demanded the prince be handed over before they would withdraw their troops. What do you think?" (End of this chapter)
