The Captivating Crown Prince
chapter-226

Chapter 226

“Halt!” A man dressed in black clothes blocked Yishui as if he was blocking her path. The long sword in his hand appeared in front of Yishui.

Yishui stayed in the crown prince’s mansion for two days. However, in these two days, other than a servant girl from the crown prince’s mansion serving her by her side, there was basically no one who cared about her. If Yi Shui didn’t know that she lived in the Crown Prince’s Palace, she would have thought that this was some kind of mountain range.

Today, it wasn’t easy for her to get rid of her servant girl. Even though this servant girl served her very well, Yishui still understood that this servant girl was actually monitoring her. After tossing and turning, he came here. When he saw the words “Night Pavilion” written on it, Yi Shui knew that Ye Yi Zhe was definitely living here. She didn’t expect that he would be stopped before she could enter.

Looking at the sword Yishui was in front of her, she was shocked. She had always been doted on by Madam Ye ever since she was young, whether it was in the Ye Residence or the Yi Residence. No servant had ever dared to treat her like this.

“Out of the way!” Yi Shui wanted to push away the guards who were blocking her path, but she didn’t dare to do so. She was afraid that if she moved her hand, the sword would pierce her. The guards at the crown prince’s residence were cold and scary.

The guards did not say anything. The guards in the dark also looked at Yishui with contempt. All of the guards in the crown prince’s residence were from the Blood Shang Army. Even the former hidden guards had merged into the Blood Shang Army. This time around, they received the crown prince’s order to protect the Night Pavilion well and prevent anyone from entering.

“Do you know who I am?” If she knew his identity, she would definitely not dare to stop him from finding Ye Yizhi. Yishui slightly raised her head and said proudly, “I am the eldest miss of the Yi family, and the cousin of the owner of the Night Pavilion. If you stop me again, the head of the family will know that I have killed you!”

Yishui obviously knew that Ye Yi Zhe wouldn’t help her kill someone, but she still threatened these guards. However, this guard wasn’t as scared as she had imagined. He just stood there motionlessly, not even a hint of emotion in his eyes.

The guard in the dark couldn’t understand, so he prodded the guard beside him, “Where did this woman come from? Is she a lover of Master Ye?” At this point, the guards looked at the Night Pavilion with dissatisfaction. In the eyes of the public, Sir Ye was the crown prince’s man. As his subordinates, they would not allow the crown prince to show his face.

The guard asked in disbelief, “No way, what kind of person is Young Master Ye? Isn’t everyone watching him?” And this woman is so ugly, even I do not see her in her eyes. The guard’s words were somewhat exaggerated. One must know that Yishui was a rare beauty. However, no matter how beautiful Yishui was in the eyes of the Blood Shang Army, she could not even compare to one finger of the crown prince.

“Tell me, should we inform Lord Fearless?” There are many things in the Snow White Army that are managed fearlessly and fearlessly. Other than the major issue of not having the heart to make decisions, you, Shang Wuxi, will let them handle minor matters as they please.

“You think Lord Fearless doesn’t know?” The guard said in disdain. Many times in the Crown Prince’s Palace, not only did Lord Fearless know about the Crown Prince, but he also knew that if Lord Ye missed the opportunity, it would be because of him.

“Alright, if we have time to chat then we might as well look after this girl. If we allow her into the Night Pavilion, we’ll see if the Crown Prince won’t skin us alive!” The others immediately returned to their posts. One had to know that the Blood Sang Army’s punishment had truly cost them half their lives. If they went in once, they could guarantee that they wouldn’t want to go in for a second time.

“Patriarch!” Shui’er has come to see you! ” When Yishui saw that she couldn’t move her guard, she immediately called out to the Night Pavilion in the hope that Ye Yi Zhe could hear her and come out. She would discover just how petty the crown prince he liked was.

The guards secretly smiled evilly. They were sure that this brother was doing it on purpose, because the piece of cloth he used to cover her mouth was a piece of cloth for them to wipe off their sweat. The handkerchief used by the man to wipe away his sweat really didn’t smell good.

A stench of sweat came from the handkerchief in her mouth, making her want to vomit. She quickly took off the cloth in her mouth and threw it away. She was about to yell at the guards when a man walked out from the Night Pavilion.

“Brother Wu!” When the guards saw Little Pouch, they cupped their hands and greeted him. Due to the name given by a certain heartless master, all the guards in the crown prince’s residence addressed Little Pouch as Brother Pouch. They got along quite well.

The owner of the small bag was very unhappy with Yishui’s wild behavior. Recently, no one came to disturb the Crown Prince’s Palace as he was busy preparing the antidote. Although Yishui didn’t say anything, he heard it so he came to take a look.

“Brother, I wonder what happened?” Little Pouch was very polite to the Snow White Army of the crown prince’s residence. After all, everyone was working for their master and their abilities were pretty good. Although they couldn’t be called brothers, they were still friends.

The guard looked at Yishui and immediately said, “This lady wants to charge into the Night Pavilion. We are only stopping her!” Little Pouch’s attitude often represented Ye Yizhi’s attitude, so the guards all wanted to see how Little Pouch was going to deal with the situation. Was it worth the crown prince’s attention?

“Lady Yishui, the master doesn’t see the guests and the master doesn’t have any cousins. If Miss Yishui were to disturb the master again, then the small bag will be offended!” Then, he nodded to a few guards before entering the Night Pavilion. After all, Master still needed his help in developing the antidote.

However, the guard standing there didn’t have a shred of sympathy. Just when Yi Shui was about to cry, she saw the guard saluting, “Madam Ye!”

No one in the crown prince’s household dared to be disrespectful to Yi Yin. She looked at the guard who nodded before looking at Yi Shui, who was teetering on the verge of collapse. She loved her niece for such a long time.

“Aunt!” Yi Shui saw Yi Yin, who she hadn’t seen for a long time. She immediately ran to her side and wanted to throw herself into Yi Yin’s embrace to complain. However, just when she wanted to get close to Yi Yin, she unconsciously took a step back.

There were still tears on Yishui’s face. She didn’t know why her aunt, who always doted on her, changed so quickly. She felt that everything was because of Prince Shang. She blamed everything on him.

“Why did you come to the capital?” Yi Yin asked doubtfully. Since Yi Shui had entered the Crown Prince’s Palace, she had not gone there even once. Today was an accident. Knowing her son’s current situation, Yinyin was worried all day but couldn’t disturb her son. So every day, Yinyin would come to the Night Pavilion to stand there for a while before leaving. She didn’t expect to bump into YinShui today.

Yi Shui avoided his eyes. She lowered her head and timidly said, “Shui’er missed aunt very much. She was afraid that no one would help her so she searched all the way to the Crown Prince’s Palace. Luckily, Shui’er did see aunt!”

Seeing Yishui’s open eyes, Yi Yin frowned. She nodded and said, “Since you’ve already seen me, you should go back!” The Crown Prince’s Palace should not have such an eccentric person.

“No, Auntie, Shui’er, don’t go back!” Shui’er will be here with Aunt! ” Yi Shui quickly said. She had come all the way here for the sake of Ye Yi Zhe. If she were to leave at this time, then all her efforts would have been for naught.

“Up to you. If you really did something wrong, don’t beg me!” Yi Yin kindly advised. Her soft-heartedness ended here. Whether this child was good or bad, it all depended on her luck. But if she did something that let her son down or not, she would resolve it herself.

Yi Shui looked at Yi Yin’s figure with hatred, but no one saw that hatred.

Shang was not in the palace today, but went to the morning assembly. Shang was not in the imperial court, and many ministers were wary of him. After all, they were already trembling with fear when they heard that nothing had happened in the royal court.

Sure enough, Shang Guan was here for the princess of Nangong Country. After all, the marriage alliance between the two countries was at hand, and all the young talents in the imperial court wanted to marry Princess Lian. They had also asked Princess Lian to stay in their mansion, and now that the crown prince had arrived, no one dared to snatch it away from them.

“What does the Crown Prince think?” Emperor Shang looked down at his daughter, his tone serious. He was so concerned about a princess of another kingdom, but towards his father, he felt like he owed money. Emperor Shang’s heart was still a little uncomfortable.

Shang Wuxin said directly, “Since Princess Lian has chosen to marry her, Princess Lian should live in the palace. That way, no gossip will be exchanged!” Shang Tong had originally planned to let Nangong Lian stay in the Crown Prince’s Palace. However, upon thinking about how his identity was that of a man, he decided against it.

“Then, Princess Lotus shall stay in the palace. Tonight, the banquet to welcome Princess Lotus shall be held in the crown prince’s mansion!” After saying that, Emperor Shang looked at his daughter’s cold eyes. His heart ached from anger as he waved his hand and left.

Due to the lack of time, a banquet would be held in the Crown Prince’s Palace at night. Shang Chen did not have the intention to delay any further, and directly ordered the people in the mansion to get busy, but the guards in the vicinity of the Night Pavilion had increased by many times, and walking was strictly prohibited even if there was no place near the Night Pavilion.

“Have Second Lin Jia and his men go to the city gate to welcome Nangong Lian!” Shang was not in the mood to give orders, but his heart was a little uncomfortable. The Crown Prince’s Palace had never hosted a banquet before. Now that so many young ministers and courtiers had entered the palace, Shang Wuxin was disgusted. Normally, there were no courtiers who could enter the palace.

“Crown Prince, where should we hold tonight’s banquet?” Even though the palace was huge, the steward knew when he held a banquet. He also knew that the crown prince was extremely possessive, so it was impossible for him to entertain the masses in the halls close to his chambers.

At this time, Huan Mo Che spoke up, “Let’s go to the main hall in the backyard, it’s far away and empty!” That hall had never been used before. Whether it was the sleeping quarters or the courtyard, it was very far away. Shang Tong would normally never go there, so he agreed without a second thought.

No matter if it was buying or setting up, it required manpower. Shang had no intention of transferring some of the Blood Shang Army over; after all, with so many people at night, he did not wish for anything to happen to the crown prince’s residence that exceeded his expectations.

The Crown Prince’s Palace was very busy and the night was approaching. Fortunately, the banquet had been prepared well, so Shang Wuxin noticed that he had not seen Yi Yin today. He turned to Wu Yi Yin and asked, “Where’s Auntie Yi Yin?”

“Madam Ye did not come out from her courtyard today. It seems like she is holding a banquet tonight to avoid causing any further trouble for the crown prince!” He said fearlessly. However, fearless did not think so. In the eyes of fearless and the others, Madam Zhongye was a rare and extraordinary woman, and everyone admired her.

“All the ministers will be here tonight. How can the host not come out?!” Shang Wuxin said with a smile on his face, nodding fearlessly as he walked towards Yi Yin’s yard.
