Chapter 476: Are You Worthy Of Mentioning Xiaoxiao?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

As for Rong Yan, how could the Crown Prince tolerate him? There were many people who admired the Third Prince now, not to mention his prestige in the army and his relationship with the Xiao Family, which the Crown Prince could not compare to.

Another blank imperial edict was handed over. Prime Minister Yan gradually lost his patience, so he did not notice what happened after the rebel generals who chased after the dog returned.

Rong Yan and the Emperor saw it, but they remained calm and continued to write the imperial edict slowly. After writing, the Emperor pointed at the inner hall. “Dezi, bring me the jade seal.”

Prime Minister Yan waved his hand. “Wait, the few of you, follow them.”

The Emperor glanced at him. “Prime Minister Yan is indeed careful.”

Prime Minister Yan did not deny it. “There’s nothing wrong with being careful.”

The Emperor lowered his eyes. “The thing is on the beam.”

After saying that, he sat back down. On the surface, he looked like he was resting with his eyes closed, but he was actually counting in his heart.

Ten, nine, eight, seven… three, two, one!

A few exclamations came from the hall. The Emperor and Rong Yan also took action at the same time. One of them pressed Noble Consort Ji down behind the dragon table and overturned the table to block her, while the other faced the rebels head-on.

The Emperor said to Noble Consort Ji, “Hide well. No matter what happens,

don’t come out.”

He also rushed out with his sword.

He was different from Emperor Wen©. Emperor Wen’s personality was the same as his name. He was a gentle scholar. However, he had been practicing martial arts since he was young. Although he was not as good as his senior sister, it was not a problem for him to protect himself.

Of course, the premise was that the disparity in numbers could not be too great.

The Emperor, who was accidentally injured, spat. In the end, he was still lacking in training and was left behind by his senior sister.

Hearing the sounds of killing in the hall, Noble Consort Ji covered her ears and curled up to hide. From time to time, arrows that weren’t blocked would sound on the dragon table, but none of them pierced through.

She knocked on the table and heard the clang of metal.

It turned out that this thing had a layer of iron in the middle…

After learning the truth, Noble Consort Ji tried even harder to hide her body. She didn’t know martial arts, so she couldn’t swing a sword even if she picked it up. Hence, what she had to do now was not cry, make a fuss, or become a burden.

There was obviously a trap at the jade seal, but Prime Minister Yan was not worried. It was hidden in the palace. He did not believe that he would not be able to find it after searching every brick and tile.

He didn’t even take the Emperor, Rong Yan, and the others’ resistance seriously until an unbelievable exclamation came from behind.

“Why… did you betray me?”

A few of the rebel generals stood out because they were constantly reaping their people’s lives. In the blink of an eye, more than 20 unprepared rebels had fallen in the hall.

Minister Yan quickly pulled the crown prince to a safe place and got the guards to form a circle to protect them.

“You’re not my people. Who are you?”

The person spat. “They’re your great-aunt’s men!”

Prime Minister Yan’s pupils were constricted. “Xiao Ran!”

Xiao Ran first confirmed that the Emperor and Rong Yan were fine before taking something from her back and throwing it over.

It was his Azure Frost Sword.

With the Azure Frost Sword in hand, Rong Yan was even more powerful. With a swing of his sword, he destroyed all the weapons of the rebel generals in front of him.

“Good sword!” This was the first time the Emperor had seen the power of Azure Frost with his own eyes. He could not help but feel envious.

Seeing his Senior Sister using her spear and killing everyone outside the hall, he despised the ordinary sword in his hand.

Although he despised it, he still had to rely on it to save his life. Hence, the Emperor slashed and snatched another one, demonstrating his two-handed sword technique.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Ran rolled her eyes. “What a show-off.” The Emperor pretended not to hear her and slashed horizontally and vertically to vent his anger. He did not care even if he damaged the sword.

Anyway, his senior sister was already here, so half of the crisis was resolved. Prime Minister Yan gritted his teeth in hatred. However, in the face of Xiao Ran and Rong Yan’s bravery, he was forced out of the hall helplessly.

-What’s the use of showing off your bravery? The soldiers of the Yan Family are pouring into the Imperial Capital. At that time, you will still be trapped alive in the hall!”

He was flexible. Seeing that he couldn’t suppress Xiao Ran, he simply retreated. The Crown Prince, who had a tacit understanding with Prime Minister Yan, gritted his teeth and wiped the blood off his face.

“Someone, light the fire!”

“Let’s see how long they can hide inside!

However, something strange happened. The lighters on everyone’s bodies were either gone or could not be lit. Some of them were clearly on fire and turned into green smoke in the next moment. What was even more ridiculous was that dark clouds suddenly covered the sky that was clear just now, as if it was going to rain!

Xiao Ran, Rong Yan, and the Emperor laughed at the same time when they heard the thunder.

Xiao Ran said, “If you’re in the right, you’ll be helped. Take a good look. Even the heavens don’t like you.”

Then, she looked at the Crown Prince. “Stupid thing, you’re a traitor.” The Crown Prince was furious, but before he could scold her back, he heard Xiao Ran turn around. “How did you teach your son?

The Emperor was speechless, but what she said made sense. He couldn’t refute her, so he looked at Rong Yan. “Isn’t there a good one here?”

Xiao Ran mocked him. “Did you teach this one?”

The Emperor admitted defeat. “Alright, alright, alright. You taught him, alright?”

Rong Yan was most afraid that he would say, “He’s my child after all.” Fortunately, he didn’t.

Others might think that the change in the sky was because of the heavens, but he knew that it must be Xiaoxiao.

As such, as long as they guarded the inner hall and waited for reinforcements to arrive, the crisis could be resolved.

Even at this moment, Prime Minister Yan and the Crown Prince still felt that victory was in their hands. They even had the mood to persuade him to surrender.

“General Xiao, why are you doing this? You’re a smart person. Don’t you understand the current situation?”

“As the saying goes, a wise man submits to the times. If you abandon the darkness and join the light now, I can guarantee you that you will still be the Country Protector General of Great Xia after the Crown Prince ascends the throne!”

Xiao Ran spat in his face. “Forget it. Since you know that I’m the Country Protector General, why don’t you understand that I can only protect the country, the ruler, and the people, but never rebels like you.” “Besides, the Emperor is my junior brother and my in-law. Who do you think you are?”

The Emperor nodded beside her, and Rong Yan remained silent.

It was unknown what the Crown Prince was thinking, but he suddenly said, “I can also marry Xiao Ning. As long as you put down the Sun-Breaking Spear in your hand, General Xiao, I can promise her the position of the main princess consort and even the Empress.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold light attacked. The Crown Prince’s hair bun was broken. He pushed away the hair that suddenly landed in front of him and realized that if the guard hadn’t pulled him in time, it might not have been just the jade crown and cut hair lying on the ground. He felt a chill on his neck. However, at the same time, he also saw the Azure Frost Sword that was stabbed into the ground by Rong Yan. Rong Yan scolded him for being an idiot. The Crown Prince pushed the guard away and reached out to take this divine weapon that even Chernan had been coveting for a long time. Unexpectedly, the sword that was originally standing on the ground suddenly rose up on its own. The Crown Prince could not dodge in time and his right arm immediate y bled profusely.

Everyone watched as the sword strangely returned to Rong Yan’s hand.

While they were puzzled, they saw Rong Yan turn the ring on his thumb. Then, with a whoosh, threads went into the ring along the hilt.

Rong Yan first glanced at the Crown Prince in disdain. “Are you worthy of mentioning Xiaoxiao?”

Then, he explained to the Emperor, who was wide-eyed, “Xiaoxiao designed the mechanism for me. This way, I can take back the sword at any time.”

The Emperor was even more envious!
