Chapter 962: Win it All, or Lost it All

Ning Shu knew that Xuan Xiaotian wanted to get rid of her and while at it, get important information about the third prince out of her.
The struggle for the throne had already started in the shadows.
Meanwhile, the fight between Xuan Hongyu and Xuan Xiaotian was extra intense due to Shangguan Qingrou.
There was the supreme power and the woman they deeply loved. The victor would possess it all while the loser would lose everything, including his own life.
Regardless of who it was that ascended to the throne, neither would hesitate in killing the other.
“Capture her,” said Xuan Xiaotian to the hidden guards.
Ning Shu immediately said, “Wait, I have something to say.”
The four hidden guards froze and looked towards Xuan Xiaotian.
Xuan Xiaotian looked towards Ning Shu coldly. “What do you want to say?”
Ning Shu revolved her energy and her entire body tensed up in preparation as she said to Shangguan Qingrou, “I know I won’t be able to escape this time, so I want to say a few things to you.”
“What do you want to say?” Shangguan Qingrou looked towards Ning Shu with slight pity like she was facing someone about to die.
Ning Shu revolved her energy and instantly moved to Shangguan Qingrou to quickly clutch her by her neck.
Xuan Xiaotian’s facial color immediately turned ashen. His low voice contained boundless anger. It was completely different from his easygoing manner from a moment ago. “Let go of her, otherwise this prince will make you wish you were dead!”
Ning Shu grinned as she grabbed Shangguan Qingrou’s arm and twisted it behind Shangguan Qingrou’s body so that she couldn’t move.
“You tricked me!” Shangguan Qingrou struggled, but since her hand was pinned behind her back, she couldn’t move.
And you were about to kill me. Ning Shu curled her lips in disdain, then said to Xuan Xiaotian, “Let me leave.”
“Not possible.” Xuan Xiaotian’s facial color was very poor. He had been threatened by an ant, it was ridiculous. He was no longer in the mood to question this hidden guard. As soon as he captured her, he’d have her killed.
Ning Shu tightened her grip on Shangguan Qingrou’s neck and Shangguan Qingrou instantly started gasping for breath in pain. Tears flowed down her cheeks. She inwardly hated Xuan Hongyu to death now. First Xuan Hongyu had choked her, and now Xuan Hongyu’s hidden guard was choking her.
She could feel that the body behind her was cold and filled with murderous intent. Shangguan Qingrou was a little frightened by Ning Shu. When she recalled what Xuan Xiaotian said about how death soldiers were people that didn’t feel anything upon killing people, she became very scared.
The two groups were in a complete deadlock, so the room was very quiet. Ning Shu saw that Xuan Xiaotian didn’t intend to let her go, so she directly placed her blade against Shangguan Qingrou’s neck. “Let me go, otherwise I’ll kill her.”
Xuan Xiaotian glanced at Ning Shu, then at the blade against Shangguan Qingrou’s neck. His expression was unperturbed and calm.
Ning Shu pressed on the blade slightly and the sharp edge instantly cut into Shangguan Qingrou’s delicate skin. Fresh blood flowed across the edge of the blade and dripped to the ground.
Shangguan Qingrou inhaled sharply due to the pain and tears overflowed even more. Xuan Xiaotian’s facial color instantly changed. After taking a deep breath, he said to Ning Shu sternly, “This prince will let you go. Let go of her.”
Ning Shu wasn’t stupid. The moment she let Shangguan Qingrou go, the four hidden guards would attack her with intention to kill. Ning Shu wasn’t stupid enough to think that Xuan Xiaotian would still want to capture her alive after she hurt Shangguan Qingrou.
She had challenged Xuan Xiaotian’s prestige, so her only fate was death.
