Chapter 1398: Understanding

What was that?

General Lingyun of the Black Clouds Kingdom had died of a sudden illness?

Was this real or fake?

Could it be that the princess of the Guguo was rambling?

At this moment, no one was willing to believe the words of Princess Guguo.

She was just a little girl. How did she find out about General Lingyun's sudden death?

Therefore, this must be a random story made up by the Princess of Guguo because she was unwilling to marry Xiao Jingrui.

After thinking this through, someone laughed loudly.

Xiao Jingyu was laughing so hard that her eyes were watering.

This was probably the funniest joke she had ever heard since she was born.

The imperial capital of the Black Clouds Kingdom and the Longyan Kingdom were thousands of miles apart. Even they themselves had not received such information. How could Lin Yuelan, the princess of the Guguo who was born a peasant girl, know about the things happening in the Black Clouds Kingdom so quickly? Moreover, this was the most confidential matter to them.

Unless she had a clairvoyant.

Many people present had the same thoughts as Xiao Jingyu.

Even Yuwen Longyan wasn't sure if Lin Yuelan was telling the truth.

If it were true, how did she know?

If it were fake, she would be guilty of lying to the emperor!

Yuwen Longyan glanced at Jiang Zhennan, who was beside Lin Yuelan. He saw that his eyes never left Lin Yuelan. When he heard Lin Yuelan say that General Lingyun of the Black Clouds Kingdom had died of a sudden illness, he didn't look surprised at all.

However, he thought to himself doubtfully, 'Could this be true? However, wasn't this Lan girl's information too sudden?'

Yuwen Longyan's voice did not move, and he did not reveal any expression. He continued to stare at the venue, where everyone was shocked.

Xiao Jingyu laughed out loud." Haha, it's really hilarious!"

At this moment, Xiao Jingyu did not care about her noble and dignified image as a princess at all. She just laughed loudly." Princess Guguo, you said that our Great General Lingyun suddenly fell ill and died. Are you joking with us?"

At this point, before Lin Yuelan could say anything, she continued to say in a daze," Oh, I understand now."She nodded." You must have made up a random story about the death of General Lingyun in the Black Clouds Kingdom because you didn't want to marry into the Black Clouds Kingdom, and you didn't think that the Black Clouds Kingdom was a threat to the Longyan Kingdom, right?"

Lin Yuelan was speechless. Was she that free? Was she that stupid to randomly make up such a piece of news?

She knew that no one would believe her.

However, this was the truth.

Once again, Xiao Jingyu did not wait for Lin Yuelan's reply. She then looked at Lin Yuelan and said angrily," Lin Yuelan, how dare you! In order not to marry my Second Imperial Brother, you actually made up such an excuse to reject the marriage between the two countries! This is the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

Lin Yuelan was speechless.

Everyone was speechless.

Indeed!

Lin Yuelan sneered and said," Hehe, Princess Linglong, how can you be so sure that I was just making up stories and committing the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

Xiao Jingyu raised her chin slightly and said proudly," Humph, General Lingyun is the War God General of the Black Clouds Kingdom. Do you think we don't know whether he's sick or not? Since he wasn't sick, how could he die from a sudden illness?

"Also, the Longyan Kingdom is thousands of miles away from the Black Clouds Kingdom. You are in the capital, so how did you know that General Lingyun died of a sudden illness? Do you have clairvoyance?"

Everyone present nodded in agreement with Xiao Jingyu's questions.

There were only a few people who didn't laugh and nod, including Xiao Jingrui.

Xiao Jingrui listened to Lin Yuelan's words and suddenly had a bad premonition.

This bad premonition seemed to be telling him that what Lin Yuelan said might be true.

However, this was what shocked him the most.

He didn't believe that Lin Yuelan would suddenly come up with such an excuse to reject the marriage with him!

Speaking of which, it seemed like he had not received a letter from his master for half a month.

That's right. His master was General Lingyun.

The subordinates sent to investigate the situation had yet to report the situation.

This did not match what they had said back then.

Before he came to Longyan Kingdom, he had arranged everything and made all the arrangements.

Then, in order to prevent any accidents, he and his master agreed to communicate once every three days.

They used messenger pigeons to contact each other.

But he had lost contact with his master for half a month, and now he heard Lin Yuelan say those words. Xiao Jingrui felt worse and worse.

Lin Yuelan looked at Xiao Jingyu and smiled coldly." Princess Linglong, it doesn't matter whether I'm joking or not! However," her sharp eyes swept over Xiao Jingrui, and she said sharply," I, Lin Yuelan, am the master of my own life. It is absolutely impossible for me to marry the second prince of the Black Clouds Country!"

Lin Yuelan didn't explain further and returned to her seat.

Everyone present was once again shocked by Lin Yuelan's boldness, willfulness, and arrogance!

She made her own decisions in her own life!

However, she was already the princess of the Longyan Kingdom. Could she really let herself make her own decisions?

Many people were puzzled, but at the same time, they had a faint intuition that they believed it.

That was, she, Lin Yuelan, might really be able to decide her own life!

Yuwen Longyan frowned when he realized that Lin Yuelan didn't explain further.

This concerned the safety of the country. He didn't know if he could trust Lin Yuelan.

At that moment, Minister Liu jumped out again and pointed at Lin Yuelan. He said angrily," Princess of Guguo, even if you don't want to marry the Second Prince of Black Clouds Kingdom, you don't need to make up a lie about the death of the Great General of Lingyun, right?"

He angrily criticized," Everyone is responsible for the safety of the country! As the princess of Longyan Kingdom, are you going to put the safety of the country at risk?"

Lin Yuelan's sharp eyes glanced at the furious Lord Liu. She said lightly," Lord Liu, His Majesty hasn't said anything. Why did you jump out and accuse me? Could it be that you have more authority than His Majesty?"

Lord Liu was speechless.

His face turned pale.

Everyone was speechless.

These words are too harsh.

If His Majesty was narrow-minded, then the Liu family might very well face the disaster of extinction now!

Consort Liu's face turned pale when she heard Lin Yuelan's words. Then, she said sternly," Princess Guguo, Lord Liu is just a patriot, showing his concern for his country. Please don't sow discord!"

Then, she looked at Yuwen Longyan and explained," Your Majesty, Lord Liu is only worried about the safety of the country. He has no second thoughts. Please be understanding!"

Yuwen Longyan's sharp eyes glared coldly at Consort Liu De.
