Chapter 676: Not Killing, But Abducting
Chapter 676: Not Killing, But Abducting
For the current Leng Rongyue, as a combination of past and present life, it is impossible for him to be afraid or frightened.
As for what her grandfather had told her about the turbulent circumstances in the Jingyue Kingdom, Leng Rongyue didn't care at all.
There has never been a dynasty or generation without the struggle for power and profit.
Especially the struggle for imperial power.
Even though her former self, Leng Rongyue, was imprisoned in the mansion of Marquis Qinxing Leng Xian and his gang of jackals and tigers, she would occasionally have the opportunity to go out of the mansion to participate in flower-viewing parties, tea parties, and even banquets in the palace hosted by some noble families at the insistence of her grandmother and two aunts from the Anguo Mansion.
Although the original Leng Rongyue was still young at that time, some things have already remained vaguely in the original Leng Rongyue's memory.
And those memories naturally remain in Leng Rongyue's mind now.
Is that the one grandpa is talking about?
The current emperor’s only nephew, Xiao Jingyi, the only son of the late crown prince?
Because the late crown prince, the biological brother of the current emperor, was seriously injured while trying to save the emperor's life, he was bedridden for several years and passed away early, leaving behind only an only son, Xiao Jingyi.
The current emperor treats Xiao Jingyi as his own son.
Especially since the current emperor only has the Empress in his harem;
His only biological sons are the Crown Prince and Prince Yu, Xiao Jingyu.
Together with Prince Yi Xiao Jingyi, there are only these three people who are his nephews and nephews in this generation.
The emperor, remembering the kindness of his brother, the late crown prince, in saving his life, has always treated his only nephew well.
But this nephew...as he grows older, his ambitions also grow.
It seemed that he was no longer willing to continue being a distinguished nephew of the emperor, and began to covet the supreme dragon throne!
He is no longer satisfied with the majestic and magnificent Prince Yi's Palace; perhaps he wants to rule the world?
Leng Rongyue frowned slightly, thinking about all this in her mind.
Then he thought of what Xiao Jingyu had just said.
Judging from the implicit meaning in the words...it seems like something is going to happen?
And it won’t be more than three days.
Today is already their second day at the Qingguo Temple in Yunxiang Mountain;
His Royal Highness Prince Yu was in a hurry to rush back to Qingguo Temple in Yunxiang Mountain this evening.
Could it be that...something is going to happen tonight? That should be it, right?
As for why Leng Rongyue thought that if something really happened, it would happen tonight, and not tomorrow during the day?
That's because, at dawn tomorrow, they will follow all the monks in the temple to do morning prayers in the main hall, and then set out to return to the capital in the afternoon.
In broad daylight, it is unlikely that those villains would be able to do something...
Isn’t there a saying like this? Dark moon makes for murder, high wind makes for arson!
Haha...how many unexpected evil things will happen under the cover of night?
Sure enough, just as Leng Rongyue thought, Xiao Jingyu continued, "Duke, what you just said is exactly what Jingyu wanted to say.
And... Jingyu said the following directly...
Jingyu was worried that Qingguo Temple would not be peaceful tonight.
Tomorrow, we should return to the capital. If those people want to do something... they will never miss this opportunity tonight!"
Duke Anguo Fu Peng nodded slowly, "This old minister thinks so too.
Ugh!
What is supposed to come will always come.
Some people have been dormant for a long time, and when they encounter what they think is a good opportunity, they want to move and test the waters.
Then why not let them move? If they don't move, things will never come to an end!
Speaking of which, if that person really makes some move tonight... it should be considered his first official move!
However, in my opinion, it is impossible to catch that person in one go.
That person won't bet everything on this one time.
If the plan succeeds, it will first cause trouble for the Emperor and His Highness;
If the plan fails, at most a few scapegoats will be released, and in the end there will be no way to verify the facts.
After all, his goal cannot be achieved in one step by tonight's actions!
Since they want to advance step by step, let's just counter them!"
"Your Majesty is absolutely right!"
Xiao Jingyu nodded in agreement.
Then, he looked at Leng Rongyue, then at the family of the Duke of Anguo, and said, "My dear elders, my two brothers, Yue'er, Jingyu changed his appearance when he left the capital today;
I also brought dozens of people with me, and divided them into several groups to secretly go up Yunxiang Mountain, scattered inside and outside the Qingguo Temple, to ensure that the Duke's Mansion is absolutely safe!"
As he spoke, Xiao Jingyu looked at Leng Rongyue again, "According to Jingyu's estimation...the target of their action tonight is Yue'er.
Before, I thought that the purpose of their action was to get rid of Yue'er.
Although Yue'er no longer has the status of the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's Mansion, my father still refuses to abolish the imperial decree of marriage and refuses to cancel the engagement between Yue'er and me.
Therefore, for them... instead of going to great lengths to persuade my father to revoke the imperial decree to cancel the engagement between me and Yue'er, it would be better to find an opportunity to get rid of Yue'er.
As long as Yue'er is gone, the engagement will naturally no longer exist.
But now I don’t think so.
I think that person wants Yue'er to live.
If they really take action tonight, they probably don’t want to kill Yue Er, but to abduct Yue Er without any harm!”
