Chapter 304

“Where are you going at such late night?”

At night, after taking a bath and washing his head, Yan Shengrui suddenly ran out, Ling Jingxuan felt so strange. Before, when they went back into the room, hadn’t he always behaved like a hungry ‘wolf’? Thinking of this, as Ling Jingxuan was about to go take a look, Yan Shengrui already came back with his hair disheveled. So his buttocks that had just moved off the stool sat back. Ling Jingxuan leaned against the dresser and looked at his with his eyebrows picked, “Where did you go?”

“I went to fetch something.”

Speaking of which, Yan Shengrui walked over and squatted in front of him. Facing his enquiring eyes, he took out a blue green and transparent jade pendant with one side carved with a four-claw dragon and the other side engraved the word 晟(Sheng) and strung it with a red thin rope, then leaned over to hang it around Ling Jingxua’s neck. The length of the rope was just OK, with the jade pendant on his chest.

Ling Jingxuan lowered his eyes to take a look. This jade pendant was no strange to him. When he saved Yan Shengrui, this jade pendant and a tiger-shape jade sculpture were all his belongings. And it was also because of those things that he guessed his identity in the first place.

“For me?”

Raising his hand to touch the jade pendant, Ling Jingxuan said in a low voice. Something that was put together with his tiger token should mean a lot to him. Was it appropriate to give him such an important thing?

“Hmm, the betrothal gift for you, though I can’t remember it yet, my intuition told me it is something very important to me, and the most important thing belongs to the most important person.”

Taking his hand and leaving a gentle kiss, with his chest on his legs, Yan Shengrui looked up at him. Actually last time when they went to the county, he had planned to send it to him. But they got too many things to see to, so he forgot. Today when they talked about making preparations for the wedding, he suddenly remembered it.

“Hehe…Isn’t there a tiger token? Why not send it to me together?”

The jade pendant and the jade token were the only things to Him, right? Now he gave one of them to him, a smile spread on his face. The price of the gift couldn’t explain anything, but the heart in it was the most important.

“That thing is a troublemaker. You wouldn’t want it.”

With a knee-jerk frown, Yan Shengrui got up and touched his hair. When felt this was almost done, he pulled him into bed. The two of them lay side by side on the bed with a thin quilt covering their bodies.

“Is that your intuition, too?”

So he took his intuition like food? Of course things like the tiger token would only incur disaster! Although so many people were fighting for it.

“Hmm, that should be the token I command the armies. Whoever takes it will have bad luck. If possible, I also don’t want it.”

With one hand resting on the back of his head, the other playing with his hair, Yan Shengrui looked into the ceiling dully. He had remembered almost everything, but not the details. To the ambitious people, the tiger token might really be a good thing. But to his Jingxuan, it even couldn’t compare with a stone. Besides, deep in his heart, he felt like he also didn’t like it that much.

“Even if you don’t want it, you can’t throw it away. The only prince who owns the general title and the military power of the whole Qing Kingdom. Wow! That’s cool! But it’s also accompanied by dangers. I guess it was both because of it that you ended up in Ling village. There’s never kinship in the imperial family. Although the emperor is your elder brother, I guess he is also afraid of the tiger token in your hands. With it, you are the prince. Without it, he could kill like crushing an ant, and you even have no chance to struggle. Now his sons have grown up. I guess soon the fight for the throne will float above the surface. The prince who owns heirship and the military power will undoubtedly become everyone’s target. Including the emperor, his younger brothers and sons, they all know what choice to make.”

Rolling over to lie on his chest, Ling Jingxuan he talked about the dispute of imperial power for the first time. In the five thousand years’ history, no succession to the throne was peaceful in any kingdom. And no one could tell how many lives had lost during the severest Nine Princes Fighting for the Throne. If Yan Shengrui wanted, he would try his best to get it for him, but, he had some other thought.
