Chapter 360 - 360 King Chu’s Intentions

360 King Chu’s Intentions

So that was it. King Chu nodded and followed Ning Yue into the private room.

After entering the private room, King Chu asked Ning Yue with a smile, “Princess Mingyue, why did you call me here?”

Ning Yue smiled and replied, “Actually, I came to look for you because Jiang Ying instructed me to. Have you forgotten what you wrote to Jiang Ying?”

King Chu’s expression darkened at being exposed. He chuckled. “I asked Jiang Ying out, but I didn’t expect his little fiancée to come.”

Actually, from the beginning, King Chu knew that the letter was written by Ning Yue. He said this because he did not want to be embarrassed.

“That’s right. Jiang Ying is in prison now. King Chu, you know that no one can see Jiang Ying now, and I can represent him,” Ning Yue said to King Chu.

King Chu’s expression turned ugly. He felt that Jiang Ying was just patronizing him, so he asked Ning Yue to step forward.

How could he let a woman interfere in what two men were talking about?

However, Jiang Ying had already been sent to prison. In this situation, he did not know how to meet Jiang Ying.

Taking a deep breath, he said tentatively to Ning Yue, “It’s nothing. I’ve encountered some difficulties recently.”

King Chu’s idea of men being superior to women was deeply ingrained. Although it was rumored that Jiang Ying and Ning Yue were very in love, he felt that no matter how much Jiang Ying loved Ning Yue, he would not tell Ning Yue about these big things.

However, since he had already said so much, it would not make sense if he did not say anything.

“If you encounter any difficulties, why don’t you tell me?” Ning Yue said.

“It’s like this. My son has been arguing with a few brothers recently and is very disgusted with them. He’s thinking about what he should do to make these brothers behave,” King Chu said with a smile.

Ning Yue frowned. There was something about King Chu’s words. The problem was definitely not that simple.

She had heard something from Jiang Ying. He said that he had a very strange nightmare.

Although it was strange, the dream seemed to have really happened.

In his dream, he dreamed of the drought. He couldn’t find Divine Doctor Gu, so Xiaochi died.

That drought almost made the people of the Great Yun Nation suffer. The emperor opened the treasury just to help the people.

The two princes took advantage of the drought to rebel and even tried to spread the plague in the Great Yun Kingdom. Although the two princes were suppressed in the end, the entire Great Yun Nation was in dire straits because of these two heavy losses.

The emperor had once asked Jiang Ying to borrow troops from King Chu when the two princes rebelled. However, no matter how much he knocked on the door, King Chu would not open it.

Just after the emperor captured the two rebellious princes alive, King Chu entered the capital under the pretext of saving the two princes.

But in fact, not only did he not save them, but he also killed them.

He announced to the world that the emperor was cruel and heartless. He even said that even if the two princes rebelled, he would not kill them. At most, he would confine them.

Jiang Ying did not dream to the end. He only remembered that dream and stopped at the scene of King Chu swinging his saber at the Great Yun Nation.

Although it was just a dream, this dream was too real.

However, this dream was different from reality. He couldn’t find Divine Doctor Gu for Xiaochi, but he met Ning Yue.

Ning Yue had saved Xiaochi and controlled the plague. Almost all the people who had fled because of the drought had survived.

In his dream, almost everyone in Baiyun State had died because of the drought.

Everything had changed because he had met Ning Yue. Ning Yue was like a lucky star who had appeared in this world.

No, Ning Yue had appeared to save them!

When Ning Yue heard Jiang Ying’s words, she even said that he was joking. Everything was just a coincidence.

As she had transmigrated to this era, the people of the Ning Family Village did not die while they were escaping.

If she hadn’t come, perhaps the ending of the Great Yun Nation would have been as Jiang Ying had dreamed.

Therefore, Ning Yue suspected that King Chu had long had the intention to rebel. However, he was deep in thought and did not show it.

Now, King Chu suddenly wanted to meet Jiang Ying. He must have some purpose.

Ning Yue thought for a while and planned to follow King Chu’s train of thought. “In that case, kill them.”
