Quick Transmigration: Saving The Crazy Villainess 139 Jiang Ying Yue 35

What a stupid question... How could any prince do? 

Jiang Li shook his head. "No. In the current list of imperial princes, you are the one who has the highest chance of winning. Not Rui w.a.n.g, nor the Duan w.a.n.g. And I don't think I need to explain why." 

Hai w.a.n.g would actually love to ask why. But the general's face was telling him he would be disappointed at his IQ if he does. Without a choice, he could only nod and act like he was pleased with knowing at least the guy thought highly of him. However, deep in his heart, something was itching to probe how much of his cards were already laid bare to the man before him. He was feeling uncomfortable at the fact that just when he thought his mask had hidden everything from everyone else, somebody actually had seen through him. 

How much does Lu Ling know? How did he know? 

Hai w.a.n.g's lips got drawn into a thin line and helplessly said, "Chen w.a.n.g. You have really hidden too deeply. When people have already cemented in their minds that you have become somebody recluse and have not much dealing with the people from the capital, here you are laying bare to me that your information network is as robust, if not better, than mine."

"I don't dare accept the flattery, Your Highness." Jiang Li replied indifferently.

To be honest, Jiang Li was already finding their talk boring and annoying. The other party was not opening up to him. While he had no problem about it, he just found it stupid that even though they had been talking for thirty minutes, the other had yet to tell him his plans or whatever would happen in the next few days.

Still no trust in him? Fine. He was not hoping for anything anyways. 

Jiang Li looked up to the darkening skies and then into the other prince's eyes then said, "Hai w.a.n.g, I won't tarry anymore since it's already nighttime. So let me be blunt with you. I don't care about politics and court intrigues. I'll let you do whatever you please, while I do the same. I only have one piece of advice, stay away from Rui w.a.n.g and the Jiangs."

The male lead met his gaze and saw that there was no malice in the person's eyes. Only indifference. Usually, if one told somebody to stay away from another party, it was to avoid confrontation with them because they were troubles. However, Chen w.a.n.g made him reconsider the usual meaning of those words. 

He thought for a moment then asked, "Are you making a move against them?"

Jiang Li kept his expressionless face, not intending to copy the usual people of this era who always make a riddle out of their intended meanings. He straightforwardly replied. "I am targeting everyone related to the Grand Marshal. But no, it's not me who will make a move. All I can say is that the person who will do will act soon." 

This meaningful remark from him puzzled the heck out of the imperial prince, who then started to wonder if someone was working together with him against the Grand Marshal. Even though the prince knew, no matter who it was, as long as it was against somebody from the enemy camp, it meant something good for him. Yet not knowing something that the opposite know made his heart itch. 

Before leaving, Jiang Li added something more to the prince's misgivings. He told him. "A heads-up before I go back. There will probably be famine in the east. I reckoned the first prince already predicted it that's why he built something there."

Hai w.a.n.g's eyes widened when he realized what Jiang Li meant. "An academy belonging to him, which is actually not only raising future ministers but people who will help him in controlling the famine...?"

Jiang Li nodded and the imperial prince's face darkened. Once the First Prince becomes successful in his endeavor, he will be much ahead in the compet.i.tion. After all, the famine will happen in one of the most populous places in the empire. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Thinking of this and seeing how alarmed the male lead looked, Jiang Li snorted and added, 

"A place that brings so much wealth to the imperial clan every year... I'm estimating not even the Emperor can still put off making him the crown prince if the first imperial prince succeeds. After all, once that time comes, he would become a hero just as celebrated as me and the Marshal."

...

On the way back, Jiang Li's mind was on what the messenger told him about Jiang Ying Yue's conversation with the female lead.

He was wondering, had Sheng Lingxin gone insane already?

Even though he had stayed away from her and the capital, it seemed that woman's unfounded and puzzling infatuation for 'Lu Ling' has not faded one bit. Why does she like him? No, was she even sure the one she liked was him?

'The memories only show the game is a regular 2D one which gamers play on their mobile phone. It's probably similar to the game 'Call Me Emperor' or 'Be The King' Na Yu became addicted to a year or two before Pesticide went into an indefinite hiatus. In short, the 'Lu Ling' there, is just a character made out of number and data. Why is she so in love with him?'

He couldn't understand it. 

And since he couldn't understand, he chose not to take that woman's obsession seriously. Another thing, Jiang Ying Yue had already met with her. 

The thought made him grin involuntarily. When he pa.s.sed by the girl's house which stood inconspicuously next to his grand residence, he pulled back his horse's rein and stopped for a minute. As he looked at the closed gate of the place, he wondered if she had already gone back from her stroll. This was her first day in the house again. Was she done sorting out all her items? Had she eaten her dinner yet? 

An hour ago, when she said that to the prime minister's daughter, did she know that somebody from his side was always tailing her and protecting her? 

She must be aware. And she must be giggling now, imagining how he would react once his messenger pa.s.sed to him her declaration.

Yeah, how would a man react if somebody he quite liked said he was hers and would never be given to anyone else?

'If she's serious about it, then something must have already been cast on the heroine...'

When he urged his horse to move forward, he knew that he was feeling amused in his heart. As his mind repeatedly played the messenger's report, he didn't notice that he was already grinning from ear to ear.Credits to its owners, and lol, I'm doing free promotion.
