Transmigrating to a Female-Dominated World: Handsome Men Keep Chasing After Me

Chapter 345

Nalan Jingwen frowned, standing motionless in the middle, looking at the soldiers around him who exuded a murderous aura, and said in a deep voice, "Do you know who I am?"

The person leading the group at the front was not intimidated by her words. Instead, he looked solemn and stared at Nalan Jingwen as if she were some heinous criminal.

"The wise prince is plotting a rebellion! Everyone, seize her immediately!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers who had been poised to attack swarmed forward. Nalan Jingwen dodged their attacks and shouted sternly, "I intend to rebel? What evidence do you have?!"

But they didn't answer at all, they just kept attacking, determined to capture her.

"Whose orders are you on? You want to arrest me? Aren't you afraid of His Majesty's wrath? How many heads do you have to chop off?!"

"Stop!"

The leader made a gesture, and all the soldiers immediately stopped. Nalan Jingwen looked at the person in front of him with a stern expression.

"Whose orders are you on?"

She recognized the woman in front of her; she was the newly appointed commander of the Imperial Guards, promoted by Nalan Fengxing and a confidante of Nalan Fengxing. Her name was Ke Yun. Although the commander of the Imperial Guards could command the Imperial Guards, the decision to capture a prince was not something she could make alone; it required the consent of the person at the very top.

Although Nalan Jingwen already had a guess in her heart, she still didn't want to believe that the person would treat her like this. What if?

What if something happens in the court while I'm away, and Nalan Fengxing is left with no choice but to accept it?

Ke Yun was somewhat intimidated by Nalan Jingwen's imposing aura, but she steeled herself and stepped forward, shattering her illusions.

"Your Highness, I am here on His Majesty's orders to arrest you. You should surrender."

"lie!"

Nalan Jingwen's expression turned icy, and he suddenly raised his voice.

"You dare to convict me based solely on your own words? Who gave you the audacity?!"

Ke Yun knew she didn't believe him, so the person next to her immediately stepped forward and handed her the item in their hand. Nalan Jingwen's pupils suddenly contracted.

"His Majesty has issued the decree. Does Your Highness intend to disobey it?"

Ke Yun handed the imperial edict to her, but Nalan Jingwen stared intently at it and did not take it.

How could she not know whether the imperial edict was real or not?

Seeing her like this, Ke Yun shouted, "The Wise Prince is leading an army of 50,000 to attack the capital, intending to rebel! Everyone, listen to my command! Nalan Jingwen must be captured alive!"

"Yes!"

Nalan Jingwen's Thousand-Thread Blade shot out instantly, throwing the oncoming person away heavily. "I want to see Nalan Fengxing!"

"Bring Nalan Fengxing out!"

Even if she didn't want to believe it, Nalan Jingwen understood that she had fallen into Nalan Fengxing's trap. No wonder Nalan Fengxing could easily give her 150,000 troops. It turned out that he was waiting for this, to pin a fabricated charge of treason on her!

She had always thought that even if Nalan Fengxing had ulterior motives, even if his kindness to her was conditional, as long as Nalan Fengxing didn't reveal his true colors, she could pretend not to know, serve Nalan Fengxing wholeheartedly, and never betray him. But she never expected that Nalan Fengxing would actually want her dead!

Treason is a capital offense, and Nalan Fengxing showed no mercy whatsoever!

What exactly had I done to get in Nalan Fengxing's way that she was so ruthless?!

"Does Your Majesty think you, a mere traitor, can just see him as you please?! I advise you to surrender immediately, and perhaps you'll at least be allowed a proper burial!"

"Get Nalan Fengxing out here! Who do you think you are, demanding my surrender?!"

Nalan Jingwen moved like a ghost, weaving through the crowd and quickly trampling everyone under her feet. Her eyes were fierce, and her aura was chilling.

"you!"

Ke Yun was surprised by Nalan Jingwen's skill. She took two steps back and subconsciously looked up at the city wall.

Nalan Jingwen caught her gaze and immediately raised his voice, "Nalan Fengxing! To fulfill your wish, I volunteered to join the army and went to war all by myself. I have been gone for nearly two years and have made great achievements in the past two years. I have never forgotten my mission for a moment. I do not ask for your praise or reward. But since you do not want me to come back alive, why did you send a message to me through the palace?"

"I have toiled tirelessly for Feng Tian and devoted myself wholeheartedly to your throne. Have I ever uttered a single complaint? Why do you insist on my death?!"

Nalan Jingwen's voice was extremely loud, filled with anger, and every word was crystal clear.

All that sisterly affection is bullshit!

Finally, the person hiding behind the city wall revealed themselves. However, to Nalan Jingwen's surprise, there was a woman standing next to Nalan Fengxing, looking down at her with a mocking expression.

The familiar concern in Nalan Fengxing's eyes was replaced by icy coldness. What surprised Nalan Jingwen even more was the barely perceptible murderous intent hidden in her eyes. Her voice was mocking.

"Why? What why? You're nothing but a bastard, what right do you have to be a prince of Fengtian? A bastard, you can kill me if you want!"

"If you wanted me dead so badly, why didn't you just kill me in the first place?!"

Nalan Jingwen stared intently at her, his blood surging within him.

"That's naturally because you're still useful. Besides, if it weren't for you diverting those vile people's attention and shielding me from those assassination attempts, how could I have survived until now?"

Nalan Jingwen clenched her fist, and the air seemed to be torn apart by her anger, forming invisible cracks.

Therefore, the sacrificial ceremony was not a prelude to her ascending the throne at all, but a way to divert the attention of those who were eyeing the throne from the shadows and protect themselves!

Over the years, she has survived countless assassination attempts, always shielding Nalan Fengxing from harm! Even after she eradicated the mastermind behind the attack, countless more assassination attempts continued to come, causing her endless trouble.

So from beginning to end, Nalan Fengxing never thought of passing the throne to her!

"With so many assassination attempts, if you had died, I might have posthumously honored you and given you a dignified burial. But you didn't die; you came back alive. So don't blame me for being ruthless and eliminating you!"

"This throne can only belong to me! No one can take it from me!!"

Nalan Fengxing finally tore off all his pretenses, revealing his truly despicable nature.

Nalan Jingwen finally understood that even if she did not compete or fight and was loyal, Nalan Fengxing would still kill her because she was afraid that she would take away her throne. As long as she lived, she would be a threat to Nalan Fengxing!

"Why waste so much breath on her? Just take her down."

The woman beside Nalan Fengxing suddenly spoke, her voice filled with displeasure. Nalan Fengxing paused noticeably, as if obeying her every command, and ordered, "Prince Nalan Jingwen has been found to be plotting a rebellion. His crime is unforgivable. Arrest him immediately and imprison him in the Heavenly Prison!"

"Nalan Fengxing, do you really think these people can take me down?"

"Of course not, but didn't you notice something was wrong?"

Nalan Fengxing stared at her, a hint of sarcasm playing on his lips.
