Swish! A flash of silver light.
Chu Minghao felt a sudden chill on his neck, followed by a sharp sting.
Lowering his head, he saw a long sword pressed against his throat.
It was Jingri's sword!
"Don't harm the Crown Prince!" Gui Tong exclaimed in a panicked whisper.
The guards, each armed with long swords, surrounded Jingri and Chu Minghao tightly, but none dared to take a step forward.
"You... If you dare harm a single strand of my hair, my father will never let you go!"
Chu Minghao, both furious and alarmed, wished he could order Jingri to be torn to pieces, yet he was so terrified that he dared not move.
"I have no intention of harming you, Crown Prince. However, if you insist on hurting the Princess and my Prince, I will have no choice but to live and die with my Prince."
"As for you, Crown Prince..."
Jingri tightened his grip, and Chu Minghao immediately felt increased pressure on his neck. The sharp pain intensified instantly.
