Chapter 1422: Jinx

Translator: Lonelytree

Fight poison with poison?

Perhaps this was true!

” Your Highness.” Lord Ping looked at Xiao Jingrui’s dark face, but he couldn’t see any emotions. It was as if the person who had died wasn’t his sister but a stranger. “The princess… What should we do now?”

Xiao Jingyu’s death had disrupted one of their plans.

After all, they had never thought that the princess would die like this, and in such a cowardly and ugly way-falling to her death!

She didn’t choke to death, but fell to her death!

Xiao Jingrui’s sharp eyes swept across everyone’s faces and then said,”Remember, Princess Linglong is fine!”

After Xiao Jingrui finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving his courtiers looking at each other.

Then, they asked Lord Ping,” Lord Ping, what does His Highness mean? The princess was already…But why did he say she was fine?”

If Princess Linglong was fine, she had to meet people. Could it be that they carried a corpse to meet people? It would be strange if the diplomatic missions of the Longyan Kingdom and other countries did not think they were crazy.

Lord Ping thought for a moment and then said very seriously,” Although we don’t understand what the prince means since His Highness has given such an order, he must have a good plan. As officials, we just have to follow it! After all, with our understanding of His Highness, he would never shoot without thinking! Otherwise, we wouldn’t have followed His Highness willingly!’

“According to what Milord said, it’s true!”

As soon as Lord Ping finished speaking, these people thought for a moment and immediately agreed.

As soon as Xiao Jingrui stepped out of the palace, the rumour that the Second Prince of the Black Clouds Kingdom had personally come to the palace to break off the engagement with Princess Linglong had already spread to every corner of the palace.

When Xiao Jingrui returned to the Courier Station, this rumour had already spread to the ears of the diplomatic missions of other countries.

They seemed to have expected Xiao Jingrui’s annulment of the engagement, but it was also unexpected.

They had heard yesterday that Princess Linglong had been afraid of choking to death, as Princess Guguo had said. After returning from the palace, she had not dared to eat anything.

In the end, she was so hungry that she almost fainted. She wanted to find something soft to fill her stomach, so she ate a slice of watermelon.

In the end, before she could finish the watermelon, she choked on a small melon seed in the watermelon.

A small melon seed, not even half the size of a fingernail, could actually choke a person?

But the truth was that it happened.

Therefore, while they were mocking her, they were deeply puzzled.

Of course, even though they were puzzled, this was someone else’s business, after all. They wouldn’t meddle in other people’s business and ask too much.

Besides, would they answer if they asked?

It was fine if she choked the first time, but the second time, she choked on porridge and white soup.

This was too strange!

Then, they thought of a rumour they heard about Jiang Zhennan when they came to Longyan Country.

It was said that Jiang Zhennan was a cursed jinx who would destroy his family and wife.

Could it be that this rumour was true?

Otherwise, why would Xiao Jingyu choke on something twice in two days when she had just become his wife and almost died?

But if the rumours were true, then why was this princess of Guguo standing beside Jiang Zhennan?

These were all like mysteries that constantly lingered in their minds.

She almost choked to death twice. No wonder Xiao Jingrui couldn’t wait to go to the palace and ask for the annulment of the engagement.

It was said that the Emperor of the Longyan Kingdom had asked for a lot of things to break off the engagement. Just the price alone was 100,000 taels of silver!

The people of the other four countries secretly laughed. This Black Clouds Kingdom really deserved it. They had lost many things.

Haha, what a joke!

But who knew that not long after, there was news from the posthouse that Princess Linglong fell because she was too happy from the annulment. She was almost disfigured.

The Black Clouds Kingdom became the butt of the joke for the other countries.

General Manor

Lin Yuelan heard that Xiao Jingyu did not fall to her death at the Black Clouds Nation’s Courier Station. Instead, she was only nearly disfigured. After hearing this news, her delicate brows furrowed slightly.

She felt that something was wrong.

According to her plan, Xiao Jingyu would choke twice, and then Xiao Jingrui would break off the engagement..
