Chapter 371 - Falling into a Trap
"Is it important to believe or not?" Xiao Qianhan raised her eyebrows and asked.
Yue Lan's face was pale white, she looked at Xiao Qianhan absentmindedly. At the moment of death, how could Xiao Qianhan lie to her! If she and Yue Leng were even slightly related to royal father, the things that were hidden inside would definitely be shocking!
"If you want me to lose all hope for the future and fall into the dust, then you've succeeded!" Yue Lan laughed at herself.
Xiao Qianhan's eyes flashed, a dark color seemingly flashing past them.
She stealthily gave Ye Jun a look.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Jun suddenly gathered spirit energy in her palm, and was about to slap towards the top of Yue Lan's head.
Yue Lan's body trembled, her eyes were shut tight, a fear she had never felt before seemed to have engulfed her entire soul. Suddenly, she felt the jade bracelet on her wrist start to heat up, and it started to shine brightly, blocking Ye Jun's hand outside, protecting her inside the barrier that was released by the jade bracelet.
"Someone wants to protect her!" Ye Jun said in a serious tone.
Xiao Qianhan nodded her head, "Indeed someone has come. Let's go first, we'll come back another day."
Ye Jun immediately replied.
The two of them quickly left.
When Yue Lan reacted, she opened his eyes, and the two of them were no longer in the chamber, she lowered her head and looked at the jade bracelet on her wrist. The jade bracelet was given to her by her brother, it was just to prevent any accidents, she never expected that it would be used at the most crucial moment!
Suddenly, someone kicked open the door.
Yue Leng, who was still dressed in the Scarlet Emperor's bridal gown, immediately ran in. When he saw that Yue Lan was safe and sound, he heaved a sigh of relief. Was it Xiao Qianhan who came just now? "
Yue Lan nodded in acknowledgement, "Yes, it's Xiao Qianhan."
"Just as I expected!" Sooner or later she'll come after us. Fortunately, I have already prepared myself, otherwise you would have already been killed by her! " Yue Leng's face was gloomy as he replied.
After Yue Lan came back to her senses, she remembered what happened to Xiao Qianhan previously. Her expression changed as she looked at Yue Leng, and after hesitating for a while, she slowly spoke: "Big Brother, there is something I need to tell you, maybe you won't believe me, but I do believe you. For the sake of your and my safety, we must face it."
Yue Leng frowned and turned back to look at the sky. He had just abandoned his princess consort and directly ran over to save Yue Lan. But... With how serious Yue Lan's tone was, what she wanted to say definitely wasn't a simple matter.
"Alright, go ahead."
A quarter of an hour later, Yue Leng's entire face had become extremely shocking, his two hands tightly clenched into a fist.
"Brother, what should we do next?" Yue Lan was a little flustered. They were not the true princes or princesses, and would definitely lose everything that they had right now in the future. If she didn't do anything, she wouldn't be willing to accept it.
Yue Leng pondered for a long time.
Finally, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "We must strike first to gain the upper hand."
On the roof, Xiao Qianhan and Ye Jun who were already hiding their Qi laughed, the fish has taken the bait! A good show was about to begin! No, it should be called a dog-eat-dog show, it's coming soon!
A few days later.
A quiet night.
Yue Jinhua was in the midst of reviewing the memorials. He was in a good mood these few days, so he quickly reviewed the memorials along with them.
The memorial, which could have been finished in four hours, only took two hours today. Western Lantern Kingdom had always been calm, and the memorial that was presented did not contain any natural or man-made disasters, so there was no need to focus too much on it.
The moment he stood up, he suddenly looked at the tightly shut door.
In the vast Western Lantern Kingdom's Imperial Palace, there was not a single person whose strength surpassed him. Every single movement within the Imperial Palace could be controlled by him. Thus, he quickly found out who the person standing in front of the door was!
Without any form of summoning, the person immediately pushed open the door, and he already knew that it was Yue Leng, his nominal son.
A look of unhappiness flashed across his eyes.
"Why did you come here? "Why not?" Yue Jinhua asked.
After entering, Yue Leng did not say a word, nor did he bow. Instead, he stared at Yue Jinhua and sized him up, especially at Yue Jinhua's face. If he had not carefully investigated and found some clues, he definitely would not have believed Xiao Qianhan's words, because his appearance looked extremely similar to Yue Jinhua's. Therefore, in all these years, no one had doubted his identity, nor suspected Yue Jinhua.
In order to hide the ugly things, Yue Jinhua had indeed plotted for a long time and meticulously planned. Thus, for many years, he did not reveal anything.
His eyes flashed with a thick killing intent. In that case, don't blame him for being ruthless! The title of crown prince and emperor could only belong to him!
Immediately after, Yue Lan walked in again. She looked at Yue Jinhua with a slightly despairing gaze and asked: "Are you really not our biological father? Did you do all this to hide the dirty things that happened between you and Princess Yueshan? "
Hearing that, Yue Jinhua was shocked, he looked calm on the surface, but his expressionless face allowed the two of them to see the killing intent in his eyes. "Where did you learn that?"
"Sure enough." Yue Lan sighed as her heart was filled with endless emotions. The father that she had called out for so many years, was actually not her own father!
Yue Leng replied in a low voice: "You are siblings, and if this gets out, you will be pointed at by tens of thousands of men. In the future, it will be difficult for you to truly raise your head again. After all, I have called you my father for many years. Even though you have never treated me as your own son, at that time, I treated you as my own father. So we can talk. What I want is simple, the position of Emperor of the Western Lantern Kingdom. I can assure you that Western Lantern Kingdom will definitely become even more powerful in my hands. "The matter between you and Princess Yue Shan will become a secret that no one in this world will ever know."
"Father, we really have no other choice. We beg for father's consent." Yue Lan directly knelt down, which could be considered to be returning the favor Yue Jinhua had shown them by raising him.
Yue Jinhua looked at the two people in front of him who he knew as though they were his hands, the cold aura and killing intent in his eyes did not decrease at all, "Where did you learn that from?"
Hearing that, Yue Leng and Yue Lan looked at each other, and said almost at the same time, "Xiao Qianhan."
Xiao Qianhan?
Yue Jinhua was not unfamiliar with this name. He was supposed to get rid of him, but he didn't expect that he would start acting behind his back! And where did Xiao Qianhan learn of his relationship with Xiao Shan? He had always believed herself to be a secretive person, and that no one else would ever know of it. But since Xiao Qianhan was able to know this and even secretly inform Yue Leng and Yue Lan of this secret, it showed that Xiao Qianhan had been planning this for a long time!
"Don't worry, leave Xiao Qianhan to me, I will get rid of her." Yue Leng said.
A thick killing intent suddenly surfaced in Yue Jinhua's eyes, and he struck a terrifying palm towards Yue Leng and Yue Lan …
