The Story Behind the Jade Pendant
Malicious plans
meanwhile, Xiao Yan and the third prince were still on their way back towards the Xiao kingdom.As the third prince had not returned from his journey.The second prince intended to attack the Xiao kingdom using Qin Ran's army.
but unfortunately Qin Ran has not allowed the second prince, to use his army, because Qin Ran has not obtained Xiao Yan. Qin Ran would only give up that army, if Xiao Yan had returned to his. Initially the second prince thought, if Qin Ran was an easy person to fool but instead the opposite.
if they saw that the two of them were both cunning and only wanted to gain an advantage, now the second prince could only wait for the opportunity to get Xiao Yan back. then the second prince told some spies to continue monitoring and looking for information related to Xiao Yan.
then recently, the second prince got a report if Xiao Yan had returned to the Xiao kingdom with the third prince and now it should, they had entered the Xiao imperial city. the second prince smiled cunningly at the news.he was already impatient to immediately kidnap Xiao Yan from the third prince.
meanwhile the third prince and Xiao Yan, had now entered the imperial city.then they decided to rest in one of the restaurants.the third prince and Xiao Yan, too, were, finally a little story about the condition of the Xiao kingdom during their time away and how about the news about the second prince?
the second prince replied, if the condition of the Xiao kingdom is still normal as usual.then for the second prince, they are still trying to trace his whereabouts. sometime before the third prince catches up with Xiao Yan, who is still trying to trace his whereabouts, he got a report about the second prince.
one of the subordinates of the third prince saw a man who had a posture similar to the second prince and was going to one of the brothels.but after being followed, the second prince suddenly omitted. it seems he has found out if someone is following him.
Xiao Yan who heard the news that the second prince was still free to roam around, became increasingly upset and could not bear to immediately avenge the actions of the second prince with his own hands.The third prince asked him not to act rashly. because the second prince was a very cunning and evil person.
moreover, the third prince also did not wish to implicate Xiao Yan into his troubles with the second prince, before they returned to the Xiao royal palace, either, the third prince suggested that Xiao Yan wear his mask that time so that Xiao Yan could avoid the second prince's spy.
then Xiao Yan agreed with the opinion of the third prince and now Xiao Yan had put on his handsome male mask as he exited the inn with the third prince. everyone looked at those who came out holding hands. Xiao Yan was embarrassed, yet the third prince asked him to calm down and not panic.
finally they had arrived at the royal palace of Xiao.then when the third prince returned to get a report from his spies.The news was about the arrival of the prince of Qin who arrived at the kingdom of Xiao.The third prince was astonished, why is Qin Ran here? he should have no business in Xiao kingdom.
then Xiao Yan who was curious asked the third prince.The third prince invited him to a safe place to talk about it. After feeling safe, finally the third prince told Xiao Yan about it.
"Xiao Yan, there is an important thing that I want to convey to you. earlier I got news, if my spies were to see Qin Ran's arrival in one of the cities near the Xiao kingdom. therefore you must be careful" said the third prince seriously
"how did Qin Ran come here? does he know if I go back to the Xiao kingdom?" said Xiao Yan who was astonished
"i have a feeling, if he still hasn't given up on getting you back, he must be planning something in this place" the third prince said
"yeah, you're right, so what should I do? why won't he give up? I was confused how else? I couldn't do anything to her, because she had also saved me back then.I even had regretted, why could I be saved by someone like her" the agitated Xiao Yan said
"Xiao Yan don't worry.you'll be fine.As long as there is me, I won't let Qin Ran bring you back. I will definitely make her give up on her will and I will not let her take you away from me" the third prince said seriously
"yes prince, I believe in you and I am sure that Qin Ran will not dare to do anything, because now he is also in the territory of the Xiao kingdom.so for a while, Qin Ran will not dare to do anything, we can be safe from him" Xiao Yan said
"why can you think, if Qin Ran has a relationship with the second prince?" said the curious Xiao Yan
"that's because now the second prince, he probably already knew about the problem you had with Qin Ran back then. yet he preferred to be quiet and not act first. since he found out that Qin Ran still wants to bring you back to his kingdom, then, maybe the second prince and Qin Ran are now cooperating"
"therefore we must not act recklessly.we must provoke them first so that we can know their true plans" said the third prince seriously
"you're right.on second thought, it's possible that Qin Ran's arrival here had something to do with the second prince.before one of them was caught, they would definitely not give up so easily. I'm getting annoyed right now" said Xiao Yan who was upset
"yes you're right.we have to make a plan next, so that he can give up as quickly as possible and I hope Qin Ran doesn't really trust that cunning second prince"
"Hem.. You're right, but after all, Qin Ran is also the same cunning person as the second prince. Therefore we must break the relationship between the two of them" xiao Yan said seriously
"right both of them are equally cunning. provided we can get information about their plans, we can definitely make a split between the two of them" said the third prince
"alright then I will also help you" Xiao Yan said as he looked at the prince
"Xiao Yan, it's not that I don't want to accept your help, but I really don't want to make you suffer anymore, because of this matter. I can handle it well this time" said the third prince as he stroked Xiao Yan's head
"Hem.yeah, I can't force you either. But if you're having trouble with this, I hope you won't hesitate to tell me that you understand" xiao Yan said and stroked the head of the third prince
"em.. alright then I won't hesitate" said the third prince who was happy because of Xiao Yan's elation
after he finished conveying the information about what the third prince wanted to say to Xiao Yan.The third prince also told Xiao Yan to rest in his palace. he will go report to the emperor about this.
after hearing the information obtained by the third prince, the emperor became furious with the actions of the second prince, he also did not expect that the second prince was very good at hiding. in addition, the emperor also told the third prince other important things.
the emperor received a report that near the border between the Xiao kingdom and the Qin kingdom saw a group of soldiers numbering approximately Fifty thousand people who were making camps on the border of the Qin kingdom.
the emperor did not know what they meant to make a camp there? although it had not yet entered the territory of the Xiao kingdom, but still it was a threat to the current Xiao kingdom.it could be that the Qin kingdom turned to attack the Xiao kingdom because Qin Ran failed to get Xiao Yan.
then to ensure that the emperor had sent some troops to guard around there and the emperor had also sent a Wei general or Xiao Yan's father who was now. hearing that made the third prince want to immediately investigate the purpose of the existence of the Qin army, then he sent some people to investigate it.
