Princess is Glamorous in Modern Day

Chapter 1557 Back Then

King Ning An smiled slightly, looking like a gentleman. "King Jiang Dong is also young. It takes one to know one."

Seeing that the person in front of him was different from Jun Shiling in terms of appearance and temperament, the doubts in Jiang Qing's heart dissipated a little, but he still had a hint of scruples.

In order to be foolproof, Jiang Qing still had to make the final confirmation. He looked at King Ning An in front of him and felt that there was a hint of familiarity in his eyes. "King Ning An, you look a little familiar. Have we met somewhere?"

King Ning An's eyes flickered. "We've met once."

"Oh? Can you remind me?"

King Ning An smiled. "Ten years ago, in the palace of the Great Xia Dynasty, you blocked a hidden arrow for me."

When King Ning An said this, Jiang Qing immediately remembered.

Ten years ago, he had followed his father to the palace to congratulate the emperor at that time, Xia Wanyuan's father.

In the royal court, only by standing with the right team could he ensure that he could rest easy in the future. In order to be foolproof, the previous King of Jiangdong had thought of a way to get the best of both worlds.

On the one hand, the previous King of Jiangdong had brought a large amount of gold, silver, and jewelry to visit the crown prince's faction led by Xia Wei.

However, at that time, the Second Prince's faction led by Consort Wang was also very strong, so the previous King of Jiangdong got someone to cooperate and act.

He had arranged for an assassin to assassinate the Second Prince. At that time, Jiang Qing, who was still in his teens, did not know his father's plan. Seeing that the sword was approaching, he rushed forward and blocked the sword for the Second Prince, Xia He. Fortunately, he only suffered superficial injuries.

However, at that time, in order to reward Jiang Qing for protecting his master bravely, the emperor still gave Jiang Qing many things.

Now, looking at Xia He in front of him, Jiang Qing connected the little prince in his memory to this gentle-looking man.

"So it's the Second Prince." Jiang Qing cupped his hands at Xia He. "I wonder how the Second Prince became King Ning An?"

Xia He held Jiang Qing's hand and did not let him really bow. "The dynasty has already been destroyed. Why would there be a prince? King Jiangdong, you don't have to be so polite. Now, I still have to rely on you."

The corners of Jiang Qing's lips curled up slightly as he straightened his body. "Second Prince, why aren't you with Xia Wei and Xia Wanyuan? Instead, you established your own sect?"

Xia He sneered. "We're all members of the royal family, so there's no need to hide. That Xia Wei and Xia Wanyuan wish they could destroy my mother's entire family. How can they tolerate me?"

"I see." Jiang Qing's doubts about Xia He gradually dissipated, and really wanted to make an alliance with him. "Second Prince, please come this way. Let's go back to the tent first."

"Okay."

In the Xia family's tent, Xia Wanyuan stood outside and watched Xia Wei return energetically.

Xia Wei got off the horse and did not walk towards Xia Wanyuan immediately. "Sister, I'm covered in dirt. I'll come and see you after I deal with it."

However, Xia Wanyuan did not care about this at all. She walked to Xia Wei's side in a few steps and sized him up. "Are you injured?"

"No." Xia Wei shook his head. "Sister, I've tried. He's not Jun Shiling."

? Xia Wanyuan was stunned for a moment before nodding. "Mm, I understand."

Xia Wei carefully observed Xia Wanyuan's expression. "Sister, you seem a little unhappy."

Xia Wanyuan smiled slightly. "No, go and count the team members first."

"Mm."

However, there was no time for them, because the horn outside sounded.

Xia Wei became serious. "Sister, there's an enemy. I'll go take a look first."
