Chapter 288 Luo Lingyue's Confession
Nanzhi wanted to say something more when she saw this, but was interrupted by King Qin: "Okay, Nanzhi, stop talking and let Jinghan handle it himself."
King Qin pulled Nanzhi into his arms and looked at her lovingly. He knew Nanzhi's character, and if he continued talking, it might make the situation even more awkward.
So he changed the subject and said, "Xiao Qi, Nanzhi's skin has been a little dry recently. You should take her to do some skin care." After saying that, King Qin gently stroked Nanzhi's hair.
Luo Lingyue smiled and nodded, then took Nanzhi out of the garden.
King Qin turned to look at Xiao Jinghan, a hint of seriousness flashed in his eyes: "Jinghan, I have something important to discuss with you."
Xiao Jinghan led the King of Qin into the study with an expressionless face, then turned to the dark and gave a cold order: "Everyone go out and guard! Don't let anyone get close!"
As he finished speaking, there was a slight sound of wind, as if countless figures were leaving quickly. In an instant, the study became unusually quiet, with only the subtle sound of the breeze blowing through the window lattice.
Xiao Jinghan walked to the table and silently filled a cup of hot tea for King Qin. The two sat opposite each other. After a moment of silence, King Qin's eyes fell on the chessboard on the table. He frowned slightly and asked softly, "A sure-kill game?"
Xiao Jinghan raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a faint smile: "King Qin is interested in playing chess? Do you know who is playing chess with me?"
King Qin frowned and looked at Xiao Jinghan with doubtful eyes: "Could it be Xiao Qi?"
Xiao Jinghan was full of praise: "The moves are like those of immortals descending to earth, without any earthly air, as if the talent is bestowed by heaven, which is absolutely beyond the reach of ordinary people! Judging from this chess game, the key killing method is exquisite and rigorous, thrilling, and can be said to be the pinnacle, superb, and the lofty artistic conception of chess is fully displayed! To be honest, I am no match for Luo Lingyue!"
After hearing this, the King of Qin's face became even gloomier, as if he was shrouded by a thick dark cloud.
He glanced at Xiao Jinghan coldly, his eyes flashing with complex light, and said word by word: "As far as I know, Xiao Qi knows nothing about music, chess, calligraphy and painting! She is completely different now than she was in the past! I don't believe that a person can change so much in such a short time!"
Xiao Jinghan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, raised a meaningful smile, and responded slowly: "Your Highness Prince Qin, haven't you noticed? Luo Lingyue has never hurt her relatives and friends. If so, why do you bother to worry about why she has become another person?"
King Qin frowned, his heart full of doubts and uneasiness. He couldn't help but think of the bits and pieces he had learned about Luo Lingyue, but now facing this completely different Luo Lingyue, he felt incomprehensible.
However, when he recalled Luo Lingyue again, he found that she had indeed not caused him any harm. So he fell into deep thought, trying to find the answer from this series of events.
Xiao Jinghan raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "Your Highness Prince Qin, how much do you know about Luo Lingyue? She is a very special woman."
Upon hearing this, King Qin frowned slightly and seemed to be lost in his memories.
Xiao Jinghan continued, "She thought I would hurt you, and she even risked her life with me. She is such a person. As long as someone threatens the safety of the Luo family, the An family, His Royal Highness Prince Qin, and the Imperial Concubine, she will stand up without hesitation."
When King Qin heard these words, his eyes flickered slightly and a complex emotion surged in his heart.
Xiao Jinghan looked at the reaction of the King of Qin, a hint of deep meaning flashed in his eyes, and then he slowly said: "And when our engagement was confirmed, she also took the initiative to propose a condition - to help His Royal Highness the King of Qin ascend the throne."
When the King of Qin heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and his face was full of surprise.
Xiao Jinghan smiled and continued, "So, Your Highness Prince Qin, you should understand now, right? Her concern and support for you are not without reason."
King Qin pursed his lips, remained silent for a moment, and finally asked: "Then why are you willing to help me with her?"
Xiao Jinghan smiled slightly and replied: "Because I love her and hope to give her happiness, and this is what she expects."
Xiao Jinghan took a sip of tea, a faint smile on his lips, and looked at the King of Qin: "Your Highness the King of Qin might as well try it. This is a gift from the monk Kongjian. He once said that he found a ghost in another world and would work with me to support the wise monarch and unify the four countries. At first, I was skeptical about this, but now it seems that it is not a false statement. I wonder if Your Highness the King of Qin still trusts your cousin?"
The King of Qin picked up the teacup, blew away the hot steam, took a sip, and then put the cup down, with a glimmer of relief in his eyes: "I believe you!"
He took a deep breath and said slowly: "In this case, I am willing to work with you to achieve the great cause of unifying the world."
After King Qin and Nanzhi left, Luo Lingyue was shocked to see Xiao Jinghan's serious face, and asked quickly, "Does King Qin have anything to ask you?"
Xiao Jinghan frowned and replied in a heavy tone: "His Royal Highness Prince Qin doubts your identity!"
Then he recounted the conversation between the prince and Luo Lingyue that day, and also mentioned what the monk Kongjian had said before.
Luo Lingyue's heart tightened and a hint of surprise appeared on her face, but she quickly regained her composure.
Xiao Jinghan looked at Luo Lingyue, his eyes full of affection and determination: "No matter who you are, I am willing to believe in you and support you. No matter what happens, I will protect you and will not let anyone hurt you."
Luo Lingyue's eyes flashed with complex light. She picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Kongjian's tea is really top-grade! Not bad! Just as the monk Kongjian said, Chu Chengli, Li Jingshu and I are all from another world! That world is no longer the era of cold weapons. The weapons we have there can easily destroy a city with just one missile!"
She noticed that there was a strange flash in Xiao Jinghan's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
Luo Lingyue continued, "Cheng Li, now Chu Chengli, and I are both orphans without parents. I have always been the one protecting him since he was a child. I thought we loved each other and were a couple. Later, we joined a mysterious organization and became bounty hunters! In simple terms, they are people who take money from others to help them get rid of disasters!"
"And Shu Shu, now known as Li Jingshu, was originally sent by the organization to assist us in completing the mission. However, unexpectedly, she got entangled with Cheng Li, and in order to get my property, she even wanted to poison me. Just before I died, I detonated the bomb, intending to die with them. In the end, the three of us were wiped out in the explosion. But who would have thought that fate would play tricks on us and we would actually travel through time and space and come to this place!"
Xiao Jing's face was cold, with anger flashing in his eyes: "I will help you kill these two bitches! Let them get the punishment they deserve!" His voice was cold and firm, as if carrying endless murderous intent.
A sneer appeared on Luo Lingyue's lips, and a hint of cunning and determination flashed in her eyes: "Kill them? That would be too easy for them! What's the point of doing this? I will personally take away everything they care about and let them taste the feeling of being deprived!" Her voice was calm, but it revealed a determination that could not be ignored.
