Chapter 559 - 538 Second Update
"Yin He, it was I who carried you back; if anyone should be repaid, it’s me," Xing Yu continued, stepping forward and glancing again at the Commandery Princess in Yin He’s hands.
She wasn’t sure she could rescue the Commandery Princess. She could temporarily trap the youth, by sacrificing her own life. With the Crown Prince and Lord Ju present, they should be able to rescue the Commandery Princess.
Whether it was possible or not, she had to try.
Ju Nanyi saw the approaching Xing Yu with some surprise, but in the next moment, he guessed what Xing Yu was about to do. As the most capable female servant under Zheng Nianru’s command, Zheng Nianru suddenly calling for Xing Yu was clearly not without reason.
Ju Nanyi saw Xing Yu had already reached a very close position, but the youth had become alert and looked toward Xing Yu. In a moment of urgency, Ju Nanyi stepped forward.
"Master Yin He, Prince Duan personally told me he intended to betrothe Princess Chao Ren to me. It was only due to the Wen Family’s sudden rebellion that this arrangement was halted. I am willing to exchange my life for hers, if only you release Princess Chao Ren," Ju Nanyi suddenly spoke loudly, catching everyone off guard. Prime Minister Lin immediately understood; Ju Nanyi was trying to save Zheng Congyuan.
Prime Minister Lin felt a surge of emotions. How fortunate Nanzheng was to have such a loyal and unwavering official for the Crown Prince. But how could such a good official die here?
Yin He immediately turned to look at Ju Nanyi, his face cooling down due to his words.
Ju Nanyi’s statement was very clever; he didn’t speak of his relationship with Zheng Nianru but rather of Prince Duan’s intentions, which was true and the result of his many days of effort. On another note, even if the youth before him was a rogue, he would understand the importance of matrimonial words agreed upon by parents.
