I'm competing with the male lead for a woman[GL]

Chapter 137: If he doesn't die, how can you take that position?

At this moment, the scene was chaotic.

People on the periphery were still fighting, and Chu Shao and the Crown Prince had even moved their confrontation from one side to the other.

However, centered around Xiao Jin's wheelchair, there spread an aura of tranquility and absence of killing intent.

Xiao Jin believed that the Prince Shen's death was imminent, and the words he spoke should be true.

Because she believed it to be the truth, she needed to confirm something else. "Regarding the mysterious character in Princess Qi Yun's name, which 'xuan' character is it?"

Prince Shen hesitated for a moment and replied, "It's the 'xuan' character from 'The Xuan of Beautiful Jade'."

Xiao Jin looked into the Prince Shen's eyes for a long time, remaining silent.

Prince Shen, however, embraced Xiao Qing and brought her to Xiao Jin's side, whispering, "Qing'er, from now on, you will follow your third older brother. You must listen to her and not cause trouble for her everywhere."

Xiao Qing's eyes reddened, and she looked at Xiao Jin with slight unease. Before she could say anything, Xiao Jin abruptly said in a somewhat stiff tone, "No need."

Prince Shen was taken aback. Xiao Jin, on the other hand, was startled by being called "Third Older Brother" by the Prince Shen.

She thought people in ancient writings truly couldn't see retinas. The original owner didn't resemble an older brother at all.

But since they had come this far in the conversation, Xiao Jin thought for a moment and continued, "What I meant was, Prince Shen, you have a good relationship with Princess Zhao Yang, so she should have her own considerations."

Implied in her words, Xiao Jin believed that since Xiao Shuang specifically told her not to worry about tonight's matter, it meant the other party should handle it.

After all, after the alliance between Prince Shen and Xiao Shuang, Emperor Qi had completely harbored murderous intent towards him.

Prince Shen could be considered as a chess piece that could be used. Given Xiao Shuang's temperament, she probably wouldn't easily abandon him.

However, it seemed that the Prince Shen didn't feel reassured after hearing Xiao Jin's words. Instead, he shook his head and said, "I hope so."

Xiao Qing looked at Prince Shen, then at Xiao Jin, and finally, cautiously called out, "Third Brother, can you take Father with you?"

This address made Xiao Jin's head ache.

Firstly, she wanted to persuade Xiao Qing not to call her "Third Brother" because anyone called by that name didn't have a good outcome.

Secondly, not to mention being called "Brother," in this situation, even if she were called an ancestor, it wouldn't help.

The Crown Prince had already arranged his men to surround the entire area, and reinforcements would definitely come soon.

Once there were more troops, Xiao Shuang probably wouldn't lend a hand. She didn't have the ability to take away a treasonous minister in front of everyone's eyes.

Prince Shen observed Xiao Jin's expression and was about to reprimand Xiao Qing when a large number of burning torches in the distance interrupted his next words. The blazing fire was particularly dazzling in the darkness, causing the fighting crowd to stop and cast vigilant gazes towards it.

Xiao Jin raised her eyes and saw a person riding a jet-black horse with sideburns, their amber eyes shimmering with a deep and cold light in the night. In an instant, she suddenly felt that Tang Ling resembled a pack of wolves howling at the moon, creeping up the hillside under the cover of darkness.
