Chapter 1244: Chapter 1243: Perhaps, It Was Hijacked

Chu Wang was "invited" out.

And it was the Princess herself who personally invited him out.

Unable to meet him face to face, the Prince could not possibly lay a hand on a married woman.

The Prince’s firm stance this time truly exceeded Chu Wang’s expectations.

Chu Wang was "invited" away, and honestly, Chu Lingyang felt bad about it too.

He kept silent and out of sight just now, but was listening intently to their conversation all along.

The Loyal Brother was not wrong, but what the Princess said wasn’t wrong either.

When the Princess returned after seeing off Prince Jing, Chu Lingyang was pacing back and forth in the room.

"Lanlan, the Loyal Brother he..."

"He’s gone back." The Princess sat down and looked at him: "Prince, I understand that you are uneasy."

"Then why did you push me to the brink of death, forbidding me from seeing the Loyal Brother?"

Before Chu Wang had arrived, Lan Ji had predicted that he would surely come to persuade him.

Now, that was the only method they had left.

Lan Ji, with her acumen, had already foreseen this.

Therefore, she gave the Prince an ultimatum, that if Chu Lingyang met with Prince Jing tonight, she would die right in front of him.

After years of marriage, Chu Lingyang understood Lan Ji’s temperament very well.

Despite her gentle and compliant appearance, Lan Ji was strong-willed on the inside.

Whatever she said, she would do.

How could the Prince possibly joke with his wife’s life?

"The Emperor is critically ill, and we don’t even know the situation right now, how can you choose sides?"

"Lanlan, didn’t we agree? We only stand for Jiangshan, for the people; we don’t need to take sides!"

So, why wouldn’t he let him see the Loyal Brother?

Can’t we all discuss matters together?

"Since it’s about standing for Jiangshan, for the people, then why do you need to see Prince Jing?" Lan Ji countered.

Chu Lingyang didn’t understand: "This matter... can be discussed by everyone, and... it’s not necessarily a conflict, right?"

But in the end, his voice trailed off significantly.

Because the Princess’s expression was not right—she clearly disagreed with what he was saying.

"Lanlan, I am a mere warrior, there are many principles I don’t understand, don’t beat around the bush when you speak, you... might as well just be clear."

"Didn’t you meet a fake Emperor tonight?" Lan Ji asked.

Chu Lingyang nodded but then said, "It’s the Emperor’s disciple, Feng Yexuan, he meant no harm, it was only to act on behalf of the Loyal Brother..."

"You are not unaware of his identity," she said.

"He is the Emperor’s disciple..."

"What about his other, even more prominent identity?" the Princess gave him a sharp look.

Chu Lingyang thought for a moment, then stammered: "He is... the Beiming War God, Prince Yexuan."

He had somehow slipped up about that matter.

All through today, all he had in mind was that Feng Yexuan was the Emperor’s man.

As for his true identity, he hadn’t been paying attention.

"Has the Emperor lost his mind? While still lucid, he lets a disciple impersonate him! Is this what an Emperor should do?"

"Maybe... maybe the Emperor is just unwell, not... convenient."

"If he’s not unconscious or delirious, and could at least see you, why have someone impersonate him?"

"This..." He truly didn’t understand!

"Furthermore, you yourself said, after going in, the Emperor didn’t say a word to you."

Chu Lingyang remained silent, just nodding his head.

"So right now, if the Emperor is not so ill that he can’t even speak, then he must be... kidnapped by Feng Yexuan and the others!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Lingyang was instantly shaken: "How... How could that be possible?"
