Chapter 246: To cut the grass, we need to get rid of the root.
Xiao Jingyi shook his head and refused without hesitation: "Absolutely not! I absolutely cannot let Xiao Jinghan die!"
Jia Guang's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he said coldly: "As the saying goes, you must uproot the grass! If one day, Xiao Jinghan finds out that you killed his father with your own hands, won't he take revenge on you?"
Xiao Jingyi sneered and responded with disdain: "Just him? He doesn't have the ability to fight me!"
Jia Guang frowned slightly, sat down slowly, reached out to pick up a teacup on the table, and gently stroked the cup with his index finger. Suddenly, he squeezed it hard, and the whole teacup turned into powder in an instant.
Jia Guang casually raised the powder in his hand, and warned in a cold voice: "Don't underestimate Xiao Jinghan! Now the high priest of the Youli royal family is assisting him with all his strength! If you dare to despise such a person, it will definitely bring you endless troubles and regrets in the future!"
Xiao Jingyi's face became increasingly heavy. After a moment's silence, he murmured to himself, "But if I really kill Xiao Jinghan, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to Emperor Wen!"
Jia Guang smiled slightly, took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Jingyi. Xiao Jingyi hurriedly took it, carefully opened the envelope and read it carefully. After reading it, he showed a satisfied smile on his face.
"Sir, please convey my gratitude to Queen Mother Xue and tell her that I will never let her down! However... I need to wait patiently to find the right time to attack Xiao Jinghan!"
Jia Guang's eyes were full of amusement: "Marshal Xiao! I have a way to help you get rid of Xiao Jinghan, and Emperor Wen can't see it. Then you can adopt your son to Luo Lingyue, and the whole Nanyi will be under your control. Because of Luo Lingyue, the Luo family dare not have any idea about you."
Xiao Jingyi's eyes sparkled: "Please teach me, sir!"
The sun was shining brightly, and the breeze was blowing. Xiao Jinghan and Luo Lingyue took Linglong and the guards to the lake for a walk. They boarded an exquisite pleasure boat, which swayed lightly on the blue waves.
"Your Highness, Princess, please get on board," the boatman said respectfully.
Xiao Jinghan stepped onto the bow first, then helped Luo Lingyue onto the boat. Then, Linglong and the guards also boarded the boat.
"You guys come up too." Xiao Jinghan said to his guards.
Xiao Jingyi's guards and servants also boarded the boat.
The pleasure boat slowly set sail, moving along the lake, leaving ripples. The lake water is crystal clear, fish are playing in the water, and the weeping willows on the shore sway in the wind, forming a beautiful picture.
In the cabin, Luo Lingyue sat by the window, admiring the beautiful scenery outside. She signaled Xiao Jinghan with her eyes: Why are there so many people following you today? Is Xiao Jingyi trying to cheat?
Xiao Jinghan frowned slightly, glanced at the guards and servants, and then responded indifferently with his eyes: Just be careful.
He knew that there might be some potential dangers on this trip, but as long as he remained vigilant, he should be able to deal with them.
At this time, a servant brought a pot of fragrant tea.
"Please enjoy it, Your Majesty and Princess." The servant handed them the teacups.
Luo Lingyue took a sip of tea and nodded to Xiao Jinghan, indicating that there was nothing wrong with the tea.
Xiao Jinghan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and drank his tea with peace of mind.
The lake water shimmered, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds. The mountains in the distance rose and fell, like a beautiful painting. The pleasure boat moved slowly forward, breaking through the lake surface and causing ripples.
Xiao Jinghan and Luo Lingyue stood at the bow of the boat, admiring the beautiful scenery.
"This lake is so beautiful." Luo Lingyue said softly.
"Indeed, such a beautiful scenery is rare." Xiao Jinghan responded.
Suddenly, a breeze blew, bringing with it the freshness of the lake water. Luo Lingyue closed her eyes, feeling the comfort of the breeze on her face.
At this time, a few rain drops fell from the sky, hitting the surface of the lake, causing small splashes of water.
"It's going to rain, let's go in." Xiao Jinghan pulled Luo Lingyue into the cabin.
The rain gradually got heavier, hitting the boat awning, making a crisp sound. Luo Lingyue leaned against the window, looking at the rain outside, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind.
At noon, Xiao Jingyi's cook came to the houseboat and prepared a sumptuous lunch for the two of them.
When the food was served, Luo Lingyue saw the table full of delicious food and couldn't help but salivate. She first tasted each dish carefully, and then began to pick up food for Xiao Jinghan enthusiastically.
On this day, they enjoyed each other's company and laughter, seemingly forgetting all their troubles and worries.
However, Xiao Jingyi never relaxed his surveillance on them and constantly sent people to closely monitor their every move. Despite this, Luo Lingyue and Xiao Jinghan still didn't care and continued to enjoy the rare beauty.
It was time for dinner. After Luo Lingyue returned to the palace, she went to the dining room with Xiao Jingyi to eat. When she stepped into the dining room, a faint orchid fragrance hit her face.
She couldn't help but look up, her eyes falling on the many orchids placed in the dining room. These orchids are of various varieties, and each pot has elegant flowers blooming and exudes a fresh fragrance.
Liao noticed that Luo Lingyue was looking at the orchids, and immediately explained with a smile: "Sister-in-law, these orchids were bought by me today. I forgot to ask you what kind of flowers you like. If you have any favorite flowers, you can tell my sister-in-law, and I will buy some more to put in your room tomorrow."
Hearing this, Luo Lingyue showed a gentle smile on her face and replied softly: "I think this orchid is very good!"
When Liao heard Luo Lingyue say this, she laughed happily and turned to tell the servants: "Go and move all the orchids in the greenhouse to the princess' room!"
The atmosphere during dinner was exceptionally good.
Xiao Jingyi spoke first: "Are you happy boating on the lake today?"
"Of course I'm happy!" Xiao Jinghan smiled like a child, "Thank you, big brother, for everything you prepared for us! The chefs in the palace are very skilled, not inferior to the chefs in the palace!"
"If you like it, eat more!" Xiao Jingyi smiled, "We are all family, no need to be so polite!"
"By the way," Xiao Jingyi looked at the two of them, "I'm going to inspect the military camp tomorrow. If you have anything to say, just tell your sister-in-law!"
"Got it!" Xiao Jinghan nodded, "It's great to have big brother and sister-in-law here!"
"We are one family, so we don't have to talk behind each other's backs!" Xiao Jingyi picked up a piece of fish and gave it to Xiao Jinghan, "Eat more fish, it's good for your health!"
"Thank you, big brother!" Xiao Jinghan smiled, "Big brother, eat more too!"
The meal was a very enjoyable one, and the relationship between the four people became increasingly harmonious.
When Xiao Jinghan and Luo Lingyue returned to the room, they were surprised to find that every corner of the room was filled with various orchids.
These orchids come in many varieties and various shapes. Some are in bud, while others are already in full bloom, emitting bursts of fragrance.
Luo Lingyue couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and said, "This Liao is really sick! I just said it casually, but she actually had so many orchids moved here!"
