The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1076

Chapter 1076: 521 Finished (second update)

However, just as Gu Jiao was about to sever Huangfu Zheng’s neck with her spear, on the other side, a soldier seized the Medical Officer and placed a knife at his throat.

"Stop, or I’ll kill him!" the soldier yelled.

Gu Jiao turned her head and looked at him coldly. Her killer-like gaze made the soldier shudder. Before the soldier could utter another threat, Gu Jiao’s Red-Tasseled Spear left her hand and whooshed through the soldier’s head!

The Medical Officer felt a scalding wave splashing onto his cheek. He closed his eyes and stiffened, not daring to think whether it was blood or brain matter!

Huangfu Zheng was clearly shocked by the scene before him.

He knew that the person who could kill the Heavenly Wolf was no ordinary person, but he had not expected someone so resolute and ruthless!

When threatened, there wasn’t a trace of hesitation in her. In that moment, Huangfu Zheng’s blood surged with excitement but also apprehension, and above all, a sense of reverence towards a superior.

Huangfu Zheng looked at Gu Jiao in disbelief.

Gu Jiao’s foot was on his chest, and his ribs instantly broke, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood!

He trembled with the intensity of the pain.

Gu Jiao looked down upon him from above, her eyes void of emotion and filled with nothing but cold indifference.

Killing wasn’t scary; what was terrifying was how calm she could be while doing it.

Huangfu Zheng felt a shudder in his soul.

With just a little more force, Gu Jiao could crush his ribs into his lungs.

And at such a life and death moment, Huangfu Zheng still couldn’t help glancing at Princess Ning An.

Princess Ning An turned her face away.

"Ning An," he managed through the pain.

Princess Ning An’s throat moved slightly, indicating she might not have heard him, or at least, she didn’t turn to look at him.

Huangfu Zheng suddenly laughed: "My uncle has no sons. He once said that if he ascended the throne, he would make me the Crown Prince. At that time, I thought if I became the Crown Prince, you would be my Empress."

"Ning An, what’s so bad about being Empress? Why don’t you want it?"

"They killed your mother, they are your enemies, but you’d rather return to them than be my Empress."

"Ning An."
