Chapter 826: Chapter 754: Like a Frightened Bird

Let him not know whether it was a person or a ghost that came!

When he finally called for someone in fear, and the guards rushed in, he despaired. He originally thought the guards had been tricked by someone, allowing that person to slip in. Now it seemed the opponent was as elusive as a ghost.

With such skills, taking his life would be as easy as turning over a hand. Could he guard himself for one day, two days? How could he guard against it every day?

How could he dare to speak more?

Even without the Three-Day Heart Shattering Pill, just thinking of those unfathomable skills made him shut his mouth tight.

Glory and wealth are tempting, but one needs a life to enjoy them, don’t they?

King Kang and his two sons were also startled; the recent bow sent by Huangfu Jinxuan seemed inappropriate, as it could easily provide an opportunity to exploit. However, King Kang and his son had always trusted Huangfu Jinxuan, as he was always measured in his actions.

Who would have thought the birthday gift he prepared would be this?

The three went back to their seats, still somewhat fearful.

Jinxuan was also drenched in a cold sweat. He only considered that the former General Huaihua was a War God, and indeed the bow was a rare and excellent one, yet he hadn’t thought that General Huaihua’s end was desolate; otherwise, the bow wouldn’t have been forgotten and eventually come into his possession.

Even, he thought of a possibility. Initially, he put much thought into the birthday gift; why, during the search for the gift, did he just manage to find this bow?

He was careless!

As a member of the Imperial Family, Jinxuan always knew their identity was extremely awkward; they couldn’t do too much, nor too little; couldn’t think too much, nor too little, and now it seemed he thought too little after all.

Huangfu Yuxuan, after glaring at the incompetent Prince Ning, cast a venomous look at Huangfu Jingchen.

Jingchen exclaimed with astonishment, "Cousin Xuan, why such a look, as if I ruined something good for you? Why is that? Actually, if you and Uncle Kang have any personal grudges, I would never interfere, but you shouldn’t ruin Grandfather’s joyful birthday celebration. If you feel that I’m meddlesome, I apologize!" Saying this, he even clasped his hands and bowed.

As soon as Jingchen mentioned Yuxuan’s name, everyone instinctively looked over. Even though Yuxuan was adept at managing his facial expressions, he couldn’t mask them completely in such a short time and replace them with a smile.

Many people saw clearly the gloom on Yuxuan’s face, feeling that his gaze was so venomous it seemed he would devour someone, making it so chilly to look at him.

Prince Liang immediately bowed his head.

Just now, when Yuxuan targeted King Kang’s son, he didn’t feel much about it; after all, this son didn’t even respect his own father, so forcing him was just that, and harming others was no big deal?

He also knew that Princes Lu, Xin, and Li were all watching the drama unfold. Originally, the family should work together, but Prince Liang felt it was better to indulge and enjoy himself.

How would he know what kind of support Yuxuan wanted? What if he helped but made things worse, and then he would have to face his wrath?

Besides, whatever assistance Yuxuan needed had nothing to do with him, what benefit would it bring him?

He had said before he could help win back the title of Crown Prince; and what was the result? Nothing at all!

The Emperor naturally saw it too, but he wasn’t concerned about Yuxuan’s expression; rather, it was Jingchen’s words that piqued his interest. Having a personal grudge with King Kang? So, was he using the Emperor as a gun?

Had he been too indulgent with these grandchildren too often as the Emperor?

Yuxuan immediately looked at the Emperor, but his expression couldn’t be seen. The Emperor, holding a cup and drinking, didn’t seem to care about what Jingchen said, but Yuxuan still dared not take the risk. He coldly said, "Jingchen, I haven’t offended you, have I? I’m just stating facts, where does personal enmity come from?"

Jingchen blinked innocently and said, "Then I misunderstood. Sorry, Cousin Xuan, I was not targeting you, just during my time in the Capital City, I have been so on edge like a frightened bird, thus using my petty mind to assume heroic intentions of Cousin Xuan!"

What did that mean?

Who self-deprecates like that?

The crowd couldn’t help but direct their gaze back onto Jingchen. Even the Emperor couldn’t help but ask, "Jingchen, why does it feel that being under the foot of the Emperor in the Capital City makes you so anxious like a frightened bird, was your time in Yunzhou more comfortable?"

The Emperor’s words were quite heavy.

However, Jingchen seemed oblivious, earnestly and sincerely saying to the Emperor, "Grandfather is right. I was more at ease in Yunzhou because, in Yunzhou, no one wanted my life!"
