After her mind was read, the spoiled brat became the darling of the whole group.

Chapter 489 Reversal

Looking at the people in the palace, Xie Xing's eyes were somewhat blank.

She glanced down at Luo Hanfeng, and their eyes met.

What kind of eyes are those?

With a hint of sarcasm, hatred, and resentment in his eyes, Luo Hanfeng smiled when he met Xie Xing's gaze, then lowered his head.

How is this going?

Luo Hanfeng was defeated.

Lost...

A huge panic gripped her heart. She didn't know how things had turned out this way; it all started when they overheard his thoughts.

Xie Xing looked up and met Jun Lanjin, who was standing closest to her.

She opened her lips, but her voice suddenly became hoarse, and she didn't know what to say.

"Xing'er?" Jun Lanjin asked gently and tenderly, still beside her, "What happened to your face?"

Who laid a hand on you?

Xie Xing shifted his gaze to Song Qingyang, and after a long while, he spoke up: "Yes, someone is targeting the Song family. I've hidden my parents well, so I came here because I was worried something might happen to you."

The truth is, I don't need to worry about them at all; they're fine.

Song Qingyang and Song Ci'an's expressions changed drastically.

His face was filled with anger. He turned around and looked at Luo Hanfeng again, grabbed Luo Hanfeng's sleeve, and asked angrily, "It was you, it was you who attacked the Song family, wasn't it?"

Luo Hanfeng was seriously injured.

He was lifted up by Song Ci'an, a smile playing on his pale face: "Haha. The Song family?"

"It wasn't me."

Jun Lanjin squinted, took Xie Xing's hand, and came to Luo Hanfeng's side.

Seeing Luo Hanfeng's disheveled appearance, Xie Xing's mind went blank.

Luo Hanfeng was defeated. Is this really the end?

So, was her mission considered a success?

Xie Xing's mind was in turmoil; her only fear was not being able to go home.

If, if she were to use her only wish...

The idea came to an abrupt end at that moment.

Because she felt Jun Lanjin tighten his grip on her hand.

what.

Xie Xing almost forgot.

They could all hear his inner thoughts.

"Tell me all your other plans."

Jun Lanjin stood in front of Luo Hanfeng, looking down at him with a condescending air, as if he had never taken Luo Hanfeng seriously.

Luo Hanfeng laughed: "I won't say anything. If you're so capable, then kill me."

Kill him, and the world will fall apart.

Jun Lanjin remained unfazed: "You can't die, but a person can also suffer a fate worse than death. Do you want to try it?"

Luo Hanfeng remained silent.

Just then, a loud commotion suddenly came from outside.

Immediately afterwards, soldiers rushed in from outside.

The soldier's expression changed drastically, and he cried out, "Your Highness! There are attackers outside!"

"One hundred thousand troops are stationed outside Shengjing City."

"They are not our people!"

Before the soldier could finish speaking, a long arrow flew through the air and shot straight at his throat.

A sudden panic gripped the people inside the Golden Palace.

"What, what's going on?"

"The Seventh Prince's reinforcements have arrived?"

Immediately afterwards, a wave of soldiers poured in, and the situation that was originally Jun Lanjin's victory was suddenly reversed.

"Your Highness!" Song Qingyang and Song Ci'an seemed unsurprised by the situation as they approached Jun Lanjin.

Jun Lanjin glanced at Luo Hanfeng, then kicked him in the shoulder, sending him flying.

He grabbed Xie Xing's hand and turned to leave.

However, Luo Hanfeng gripped Xie Xing's ankle tightly. He smiled, a sickly grin spreading across his bloodied lips, and said, word by word, "You can leave, but she will stay."

As his voice faded, the sounds of fighting outside grew louder and louder.

On the dragon throne, the Chu Emperor, who was still furious, panicked upon hearing the sounds of fighting outside. He hurriedly asked Jun Lanjin, "Zhiheng! Zhiheng! What should we do?"

Jun Lanjin ignored him.

He gripped Xie Xing's wrist tightly and replied, "Absolutely impossible."

One of them held Xie Xing's wrist, and the other gripped his ankle, and they remained locked in a stalemate.

Xie Xing: "..."

Seeing that Luo Hanfeng was in such a sorry state but had not truly been defeated, she breathed a sigh of relief and quickly pulled her foot away from Luo Hanfeng's hand that was gripping her ankle.

"Your Highness, let's go."

Xie Xing hurriedly said.

Her action hurt Luo Hanfeng's heart. He stood up, his body already tattered, and spat out a mouthful of blood. "Today, none of you will escape!"

"You unfilial son!" the Chu Emperor roared.

Luo Hanfeng then flicked a dagger from his sleeve, which struck the Chu Emperor squarely in the throat.

The Chu Emperor died on the spot, his eyes wide open, as he died on his dragon throne.

"I told you, none of you are leaving here today!"

Jun Lanjin ignored him. With a wave of his hand, the Fenglang Army around him surrounded Luo Hanfeng, and the sounds of fighting outside the Golden Palace gradually drew closer.

Jun Lanjin turned to look at Song Ci'an and said, "We can send the signal now."

Song Ci'an nodded and quickly sent a signal to the sky.

Xie Xing felt a pang of anxiety upon seeing this.

She gripped Jun Lanjin's sleeve.

Both groups seem to have a backup plan; who will win and who will lose?

Just as she was struggling with her thoughts, the Golden Palace was surrounded by men in black. Wen Yan led his soldiers in from outside. He glanced around the Golden Palace and when his gaze landed on Luo Hanfeng, he clicked his tongue and said, "I'm just a little late, how did you manage to get yourself into such a mess?"

As she spoke, Wen Yan fixed her gaze on Xie Xing.

He looked surprised: "You, you, weren't you placed next to Xie Mingzhu? How did you end up here, and with such a face?"

Xie Xing was too lazy to waste words with others. She grabbed Jun Lanjin's sleeve and said to Luo Hanfeng, "Let us go, or I will kill Xie Mingzhu."

Luo Hanfeng didn't care at all whether Xie Mingzhu lived or died.

His face darkened: "Do as you please, kill me if you want."

Xie Xing said in disbelief, "Xie Mingzhu has helped you so much, and you just say you don't care? You're such an ingrate!"

Luo Hanfeng laughed and said, "That's right, that's me."

"Jun Lanjin, the entire palace is now surrounded by me. You have lost."

Luo Hanfeng turned to look at Jun Lanjin.

His murderous gaze swept over everyone around Jun Lanjin, and he said, word by word, "I will make them wish they were dead."

Originally, Luo Hanfeng wanted to gain a good reputation by using Luo Mian's name, but he did not expect that Jun Lanjin had known about his plan all along. He and the Chu Emperor conspired to kill Luo Hanfeng without warning.

That's why Luo Hanfeng looked so disheveled in the Golden Palace just now.

Ke Luo Hanfeng prepared a second-hand one.

After all, behind him were Wen Yan, the three major families, and the soldiers left behind by the remnants of the previous dynasty.

But that signal from Jun Lanjin just now...

Luo Hanfeng was on high alert. He couldn't wait any longer; he had to kill Jun Lanjin right there.
