129 Help Him Escape (1/2)
Princess Lingchen closed her eyes and sighed once she received news that Prince Lu Wei had rejected her proposal. Not long after, Jiang Xiao Tian came with news that the prince decided to leave Da Cheng. The Crown Princess was disappointed, however, she had long know that there was no way Prince Lu Wei will agree to marry her just to avoid his brother, the Emperor of Qian Rong.
”Sent someone to protect the prince until he reached Qian Rong,” Princess Lingchen said to Jiang Xiao Tian. ”Don't let anything happen to him.”
”You want to continue and protect him, Your Highness?” Jiang Xiao Tian asked.
There was a touch of surprise on his face.
The Princess nodded. ”I have promised that I will give him my protection in exchange of keeping my secret. I don't intend to go back on my promises. As long as Prince Lu Wei did not say anything about my condition, continue to protect him.” Princess Lingchen said. She rapped her fingers on the surface of the table and continued. ”Once he reached Qian Rong, Prince Lu Wei will be on his own. We can no longer protect him once he reached his country.”
Jiang Xiao Tian nodded. ”As your command.”
A small smile appeared on Princess Lingchen's lips. ”However, I have a feeling that Prine Lu Wei will not return to Qian Rong. Since he already decided to leave Da Cheng, he must have his plan,” Princess Lingchen said. ”I'm sure that he will try to escape from the envoy once they crossed over Da Cheng's border. If he wanted to escape, then, have your people to help him escape. Whatever it is, if Prince Lu Wei did not intend to go back to Qian Rong. don't let anything happen to him. Continue to protect him in secret”
Princess Lingchen watched in silent as Jiang Xiao Tian left her palace. Her thought were on the Prince of Qian Rong. She understood that the Prince did not want to implicate her or Da Cheng. At this time, the Crown Princess can only respect the choices he made. It looked like she will have to find other alternative to cure the poison in her body.

After a few days of stalling, Jiang Xiao Liang decided to pay his old friend, Yang Yun, a visit.
Back then, when the two of them were newly recruited into the army and was assigned into Jiang Xiao Xian's camp, their relationship was pretty good. Jiang Xiao Liang and Yang Yun were best friends and rivals at the same time. But, their relationship started to drift once they were assigned into different camp, and went further apart once Yang Yun started to date Mingyue.
