Chapter 1314: Chapter 784: Luming’s Fury (Part 4)

Watching the emperor burning with anger at this moment, no one dared to say anything.

It’s not clear whether the emperor got injured with that kick or not.

"Xiao Anqi." Xiao Luming called Anqi by her full name.

Anqi’s body trembled.

"I ask you once more, choose me or choose Prince Jing!"

Anqi bit her lip tightly.

She knew how much Luming was hurt right now and understood his limits.

She was unsure what consequences her answer might bring at this moment.

But she didn’t want to go on like this.

She needed to fight for her own happiness.

She looked up at Xiao Luming and answered, "Sorry, Luming, the one I love is Jinyu."

Xiao Luming suppressed his emotions, veins popping out.

He knew about Anqi’s feelings for Xiao Jinyu, but he didn’t think he would truly lose to Xiao Jinyu.

The affection he and Anqi shared, having grown up together over the years—he couldn’t believe Anqi could let go just like that.

Yet Anqi resolutely told him that the one she loved was Xiao Jinyu.

The coldness in Xiao Luming’s eyes became more apparent.

He suddenly strode forward and yanked Xiao Jinyu, who was kneeling on the ground.

"Luming!"

Anqi was startled and hurriedly tried to pull Luming away.

With a forceful shove, Luming pushed Anqi aside.

In fact, Xie Qianyun saw very clearly that even though the young emperor was truly furious, considering the force with which he just kicked the stone stool, he was extremely restrained with Anqi.

"Anqi!" Xiao Jinyu saw Anqi being pushed to the ground by Xiao Luming.

Anger welled up inside his eyes.

Without a second thought, he punched Xiao Luming directly in the face.

Xiao Luming’s attention was mostly on Anqi, and the sudden punch caught him off guard!

He took the punch hard and straightforward.

"Jinyu!" Anqi was visibly shocked.

She grabbed Xiao Jinyu.

How could he hit Luming?!

Luming is the emperor.

If he hit Luming, Luming could directly cut off his head.

Xiao Jinyu was also somewhat startled after hitting Xiao Luming.

He had acted too impulsively!

Despite the pain, Xiao Luming watched the pulling and tugging between Xiao Jinyu and Anqi, unmasked anger on his face.

He stepped forward and kicked Xiao Jinyu directly.

With a "thud," he kicked Xiao Jinyu, sending him sprawling on the ground.

"Luming, stop fighting, I beg you, stop fighting..." Anqi cried in terror.

Xiao Luming, however, seemed not to hear, continuing to kick Xiao Jinyu hard, his face vicious, looking sinister and horrifying!

"Luming, Luming!"

Anqi was trembling with fear.

If this beating continued, would Xiao Jinyu be beaten to death?

Just as Anqi was about to block Xiao Jinyu with her own body.

"Xiao Luming!"

A cold stern voice suddenly echoed from the backyard.

Xiao Luming, amid his extreme loss of control due to anger, paused because of this voice.

Xiao Jinyu lay on the ground, bloodied and motionless.

Anqi looked at Xiao Jinyu, heartache welling with tears, yet she dared not approach recklessly, fearing it would provoke Luming further, risking Xiao Jinyu’s life.

Xiao Jinxing strode to the forefront.

By now, many guests had followed into the backyard.

Upon seeing Xiao Luming, they hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Greetings, Your Majesty, long live the emperor."

An Youyou also hurried over with Wu Huahao.

She had heard her brother arrived and also heard her brother was fighting in the backyard with the young Imperial Uncle.

My goodness, could it be Anqi and the young Imperial Uncle’s affair was discovered by her brother?!

This was troublesome!

"What happened?!" Xiao Jinxing’s voice was sharp, his anger palpable, causing everyone to tremble.

An Youyou flinched.

She didn’t expect her father to be so domineering?!

Always thought her brother was the fiercest at home!

Xiao Luming kept a stern face and did not answer.

"Anqi." Xiao Jinxing’s gaze tightened.

"Replying to father, it’s all Anqi’s fault, it’s Anqi who angered Luming, please punish Anqi, but ask father not to trouble the young Imperial Uncle." Anqi kowtowed.

An Youyou’s heart skipped a beat beside her.

She understood Anqi’s desire to protect the young Imperial Uncle at this time, but now her brother was clearly angry, and the more Anqi defended the young Imperial Uncle, the more her brother’s anger would grow.

Indeed.

An Youyou watched her brother suddenly speak, his voice commanding, "Prince Jing Xiao Jinyu’s offense is intolerable, put him in prison awaiting my orders! Without my permission, no one is allowed to visit!"

"Luming!" Anqi looked at him in fear.

Xiao Luming glanced at Anqi, then met eyes with Xiao Jinxing and An Ning next to him, bowing respectfully, "Your son is busy with affairs of state, I shall take my leave."

Leaving behind those words, his sleeve flicking.

In a cold voice, "Return to the palace!"

Then, he strode off.

Everyone was left stunned, watching Xiao Luming’s powerful departure.

Meanwhile, the Hidden Guard beside Xiao Luming detained the incapacitated Xiao Jinyu on the ground and took him away.

"Jinyu..." Anqi watched Xiao Jinyu being carried away, heartbreakingly wanting to stop them.

"Anqi, sis." An Youyou embraced Anqi, "Calm down, my brother certainly won’t kill the young Imperial Uncle, but if you defy my brother now, the consequences will be even more severe!"
