"Let's see who dares to act recklessly!"
Just as Chu Minghao's words fell, a tall figure suddenly descended from the heavens, landing not far in front of him.
"It's Jingri!" Although Gui Tong was injured, his alertness remained sharp.
At the sight, he immediately issued a stern order: "Guards, protect the Crown Prince!"
Jingri positioned himself in front of Chu Minghao, gripping a longsword: "Anyone who dares harm the Princess or the Prince shall be slain without mercy!"
"Anyone who dares obstruct this Crown Prince shall die without a complete corpse!"
As Chu Minghao issued his command, over a dozen guards swiftly encircled him.
He said coldly, "The Princess and the Prince have contracted the epidemic and are already dead. Didn't you see them just now, when their corpses were carried out?"
"Those are certainly not the corpses of the Princess and the Prince—both are still inside, saving lives!" Jingri roared angrily.
