Chapter 652: Just Make Friends
"If I can't go back safely, my father will not let you go." Seeing that Prince Lan Zhe was indifferent, Lan Xin simply threatened him directly.
"Lan Xin, you must remember that this time you are seeking death yourself." Prince Lan Zhe leaned close to Lan Xin's ear and said.
At this moment, Prince Lan Zhe's weapon was no longer as warm as before, but it seemed as if a layer of ice had condensed and pierced directly into Lan Xin's heart.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Prepare to die." The man in black over there couldn't help but take action.
Seeing the men in black attacking, Yan Li and the others immediately raised their weapons and fought back.
This time, people from the other two empires also reacted in time and joined the battle.
The War King directly confronted the leading man in black and took care of him in just a few moves in front of his horrified gaze.
This time, the men in black did not bring the blackened monster. It is estimated that the two groups of men in black were originally together, and the blackened monster was in the hands of the previous group of men in black.
Seeing that Yan Li and the others were always in the upper hand, Lan Xin finally felt relieved.
Seeing the men in black being killed one after another, Lan Xin was excited when she was suddenly abducted by a man in black.
"Royal brother, save me, save me." Lan Xin shouted at Prince Lan Zhe.
Upon hearing this, Prince Lan Zhe looked in his direction, only to see the man in black abducting Lan Xin and walking away into the distance.
Prince Lanzhe threw the sword in his hand towards them.
"Ah..." A scream was heard, and the long sword pierced directly into the black-clothed man's back and out of Lan Xin's chest.
The two men fell to the ground together.
Prince Lan Zhe flashed to their side.
"Why? I am your sister." Lan Xin looked at Prince Lan Zhe with disbelief.
He could obviously save himself without hurting himself, so why would he kill the enemy at the cost of his own life?
"Because, this time it's your own fault. Father and the Queen can't say anything." Prince Lanzhe's tone was as cold as ice.
Lan Xin understood instantly after hearing this.
But it was too late, so she took her last breath reluctantly.
The Queen of the Lan Qin Empire gave birth to only one daughter, the eldest princess Lan Xin.
Crown Prince Lan Zhe was born to the Queen's younger sister, Concubine Yu.
Although Lan Zhe was promoted to the position of crown prince by the queen, Lan Zhe knew very well that the queen only wanted to support a puppet crown prince to pave the way for Lan Xin.
If I am unwilling to be a tool, then Lan Xin must die!
As long as she died, the queen would wholeheartedly support herself, after all, she and she had some blood relationship.
When the Prince's tutor Qin Sang saw that Prince Lan Zhe had killed the eldest princess Lan Xin with his own hands, he was shocked at first, and then he sighed.
As the prince's tutor, he was well aware of the prince's situation, so he naturally chose to stand on the prince's side.
Yan Li also saw this scene, but she was not shocked. After all, since ancient times, in the royal disputes, all they had in their eyes was the position, so there was no talk of family affection.
Thinking of this, Yan Li couldn't help but sigh. If she had a brother or sister, she could immediately push the throne to him, and then she would be free.
If you ask, if that’s the case, why didn’t he push it to Bai Yiyi in the first place?
That’s because Bai Yiyi is not of royal blood and cannot be recognized by the elders and court officials.
Secondly, Bai Yiyi always looks weak and frail in front of Yan Li, unable to take care of herself and in need of protection, so Yan Li naturally wouldn't think of her.
But Yan Li never expected that this dodder clinging to her body would one day kill her and others.
As time passed, all the men in black fell to the ground again.
Yan Li and his group were almost unharmed, but people from the other two empires suffered quite a lot of injuries.
Yan Li also burned the bodies of the men in black, including Lan Xin's.
The remaining dark aura in the air was also burned away by her.
"Your Majesty, I think we should set off quickly." Prince Qingmo walked over, covering his injured arm.
"That's true. It will be so annoying if the men in black come to criticize us again." Yan Li nodded.
"Here." She turned around and saw Prince Qingmo's arm still dripping with blood, so she handed him a box of healing ointment.
"Thank you." Prince Qingmo blushed and took the healing ointment.
Afterwards, Yan Li and the others summoned flying monsters and continued their journey.
"Your Highness, please accept my condolences. This is all Princess Lan Xin's own fault." Seeing that Lan Zhe remained silent, the Prince's tutor Qin Sang comforted him.
He thought that since he had killed Princess Lan Xin with his own hands, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must be sad.
"I'm not sad about this, but I'm thinking about how to better explain Lan Xin's death when I go back. Even the body was not left behind." Prince Lan Zhe sighed after saying this.
If my father and the queen knew that Lan Xin was dead and not even a body was left, they would probably go crazy.
In fact, I could have stopped Yan Li from burning the corpse.
But he couldn't, after all, he was the one who killed Lan Xin. Once he brought her body back, he would be able to tell from the fatal wound that she was injured by his own weapon.
It will be even more troublesome then!
"Don't worry, Your Highness. In order to make it easier for us to give an explanation when we return, I left it behind with a photo stone when the princess betrayed us. Then we can say that the princess was killed by those men in black and no trace of her body was left." Qin Sang said as he took out a photo stone.
"Master, you are really attentive." Lan Zhe breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that.
"Here." Yan Li, who was on a flying monster nearby, suddenly threw something over.
After Prince Lan Zhe caught it, he realized it was the Purple Pearl from the Sea of Green.
"Your Majesty, what is this?" Prince Lan Zhe looked at Yan Li with confusion.
"Didn't Lan Xin betray me just to get this Purple Pearl of the Jade Sea to give to your queen? When the time comes, won't it be easier to gain her trust when you take the Purple Pearl of the Jade Sea back to fulfill her last wish?" After Yan Li finished speaking, she looked at Prince Lan Zhe.
"But this Jade Sea Purple Pearl is priceless. How can I..."
"Just make friends."
Prince Lan Zhe was interrupted by Yan Li before he could finish his words.
Through this incident, Yan Li admired Prince Lan Zhe very much. He was decisive and ruthless in his actions. He would definitely be a good emperor in the future.
"Okay." Prince Lan Zhe smiled when he heard this.
Crown Prince Qingmo, who was not far away, watched all this and felt that he could not understand Emperor Yan Li anymore.
She was so powerful that she could have ignored me and others, but she not only gave me such a high-grade ointment, but also gave Prince Lan Zhe the priceless Azure Sea Purple Pearl.
It is unlikely that he was coveting the beauty of the two of them. After all, both the emperor and the king were more handsome than them.
So what is she doing this for?
Could it really be what she said about making friends?
In fact, Prince Qingmo was really overthinking it. In Yan Li's eyes, the healing ointment was given to Prince Qingmo only because he needed it. It was not a rare thing.
I got the Blue Sea Purple Pearl because I kept it on the man in black for too long and Yan Li was a little disgusted with it. It just so happens that Prince Lan Zhe needs it, so I'll make use of it.
