The Captivating Crown Prince
chapter-229

Chapter 229

“Who are you?” In a mansion, an official was in the midst of a chaotic battle with his concubine. Suddenly, a man in black appeared in the room, causing the official’s initial enthusiasm to cool down so much that he almost fell down on top of his concubine.

“Ah!” The concubine covered her naked body with a cup and approached the official, “Master.” Old master, I am so afraid! ”

The official pushed his favorite concubine away and looked at the man in black who was standing there begging for mercy with a sword in his hand. A good man can have anything as long as he has it himself. Money or a beauty, he can have it all! ” As he spoke, he pushed out his beloved concubine, ignoring her naked body.

The black-clothed man didn’t even look at the woman as he watched the official take out all his savings and put it into his pocket. Before leaving, he even gave the official a sword.

In another official’s residence, the black clothed man went straight to the official’s study and started searching for a lot of banknotes. He similarly placed them in his pocket and without saying a word, he found the official in the mansion and gave him a sword before leaving.

At the same time, many of the government officials’ residences in the capital were also heavily injured by the black-clothed men. However, what surprised everyone was that these injured officials were from the Duke of Qing’s faction. When they went to the imperial court the next morning and saw that so many of their men were missing, the official did not even spit out a mouthful of blood.

Shang Wuxin intentionally did not rest tonight. Sitting in the study with Huan Mo Che, they played chess. One could only say that the two’s chess skills each had their own merits. Shang’s carefree chess skills were wide open, sharp, brave but not lacking in caution. Illusory Dream’s chess skills were complex and roundabout. A slight mistake could lead to him falling into his trap, unable to escape from it.

Shang carelessly looked at the black and white chess pieces on the table and laughed, “Looks like I will lose this round!” Because they were just having fun, neither Shang nor Huan Mo Che was able to keep up the waterproofing. In the end, the two of them were both satisfied with their wins and losses.

Sure enough, the entire chess game ended just like that. Placing the chess pieces properly, Huan Mo Che was still a bit unsatisfied. Normally, he rarely played chess with other people, but he would amuse himself by himself. After all, playing chess would expose his own methods, which would be disadvantageous to him.

“I should be the one who loses!” Even though the two of them had played a few rounds tonight, he still lost a little. But the one who should have won was Shang Wuxin, and he had a sense of pride in being able to win.

“Crown Prince!” Having calculated his timing, Huan Mo Che heard Lin Jia Er’s voice. With the permission of the crown prince, he walked into the study in black and hurriedly greeted Huan Mo Che, “Young master Huan!”

“Speak!” Shang’s finger moved and was about to take out the jade pendant to play with when he realized that his ring had already been made. The remaining pendant was on the dresser in the sleeping quarters. Shang’s finger was lightly resting on the table.

Lin Jia Er was clearly not satisfied yet as he said with a smile, “Crown Prince, you’ve already injured the ministers but they’re not fatal. However, the Duke of Qing’s faction has been quite busy recently!” Lin Jia Er then took out a thick stack of banknotes, “Crown Prince, this was robbed by the brothers!”

The discipline of the Blood Shang Army was very good, but there were many things in their bones that Shang Wuxin had not erased. Huan Mo Che looked at the thick stack of banknotes and started to twitch. He never would have thought that Shang Wuxin would actually commit a robbery against his own family, and the object he aimed at was the various ministers. However, what was with this inexplicable happiness?

Although it seemed like a lot of banknotes, Lin Jia Er could see from the Crown Prince’s expression that he was in a good mood. He felt a little proud that they had done the right thing! If those ministers were to know about this, they would not know how to cry.

“Take it down for Dauntless to handle. You’ve done well this time. Half of it will go to you guys to drink!” After all, their families were all placed in the training ground, and they did not have to worry about food and drinks. Since their families were well taken care of, they were able to serve the crown prince in peace.

“Alright!” Lin Jia Er smiled and immediately ran out. When the Snow Sang Army saw Lin Jia Er coming out, they all gathered around him and asked, “Leader Lin, what did the Crown Prince say? Did you praise us?”

Looking at all the nervous expressions on their faces, Lin Jia Er did not hold back and said directly, “The Crown Prince is not praising us!” Indeed, everyone had their heads hanging down. They thought that the crown prince would be happy to get so many silver taels.

“However, the crown prince wants us to drink half of it!” Lin Jia Er continued, and when he saw that everyone was getting ready to hit him, he quickly covered his head and said, “This is not a training ground, you guys dare to hit me?”

They didn’t dare to do anything, but they were all interested. “We don’t need anything to drink, but the crown prince will give us and our families enough food and clothes to use in the future!”

“Why don’t we stop drinking, take the money to buy wine and send it to the practice area so that those bastards can see our capabilities!” Lin Jia Er suggested that although the Blood Sang Army was very united, it also had great competition. Not everyone could come to the crown prince’s mansion to guard.

“Alright, let’s do it this way!” The black-clothed Blood Shang Army soldiers grumbled for a long time.

“Lady Yi!” When the servant girl outside saw the lightly dressed Yi Shui, she immediately bowed. She didn’t understand why this guest that the crown prince didn’t like would appear here. It had to be known that Madam Ye was the foster mother of the crown prince.

Yishui looked at the crown prince’s mansion’s servant with disdain. Even while staying in the mansion, she was still so plain to her. If it wasn’t for Ye Yizhe, why would she be so angry?

“Is Auntie here?” Yi Shui asked. These few days, she had been wanting to come over but didn’t have the time to talk to her servant girl. Her courtyard was filled with people, but she didn’t have the time to come over.

“Miss Yi, Madam Ye is here!” She was about to go in to report, but before she could go in, she saw Yishui walk in. She wanted to stop her, but thinking of her identity, she could only follow closely behind her.

At this moment, Yi Yin was sitting in the courtyard embroidering a robe. Although her embroidery skills weren’t as good as a professional embroidery lady, she had once embroidered so many clothes for her husband and son. When she heard some hurried footsteps, Yinyin put down her robe and saw Yishui walking over, followed by an anxious servant girl behind her.

“Aunt!” Yi Shui saw Yi Yin immediately sit beside her obediently. Her voice was sweet and coquettish.

Yinyin waved her hand to allow the servant girl to leave. This servant girl was someone that Shang Wuxin had specially instructed to take care of Yinyin. She was usually a maid who knew her place, and although she wasn’t her personal servant, Yiyin still felt comfortable using her.

At this time, the servant girl that had accompanied Yi Yin for so many years was called Chun Er. Although she was called Chun Er, she wasn’t really a servant girl because this woman was already over 40 years old.

“Madam, drink some water!” It must be known that since the death of the young master, the Madam had almost changed. She was like a walking corpse for the entire day, although the family head was filial, he was cold and indifferent to the point that he did not understand the Madam. Now that he had arrived at the Crown Prince’s Palace, she clearly felt that the Madam was a lot happier and seemed to have some hope for the future.

“Aunt, are you making clothes for the family head?” Yi Shui wanted to reach out to touch it, but was stopped by Yi Yin. Yishui was a bit embarrassed. Her aunt had made clothes for Ye Yi Zhe a long time ago.

Yi Yin took a sip of water and said, “No!” In his heart, he was complaining about her ice-cold son. Even if he did make clothes for her, he still wouldn’t look good. Sometimes, Yiyin really didn’t understand who her son was like.

“No?” Whose clothes are these? ” Seeing that the outer robe was obviously the man’s clothes, Yishui looked at him uncertainly and asked, “Could it be that this is made for that Prince Shang?” The more he looked at Yi Shui, the more he felt that it was possible. Besides Prince Shang, which family would have a man who looked so thin and frail? He looked just like a pretty boy.

Yinyin smiled and nodded. She knew that the clothes that Shang had worn since childhood were made by the embroidery lady, and she was prepared to make the clothes for Shang when she was young. Now that she measured the size of the clothes, she realized how thin the child was.

“What?” Yishui suddenly stood up. Ever since she was young, she had always been by her aunt’s side. However, her aunt had never made her clothes for her. Now, she was making clothes for a man she had just met.

“Auntie, Prince Shang usually has so many embroideries by his side. Even his two maids are following closely behind him. Why should you worry about them?” Yishui was telling Yinshui how confused her private life was.

Hearing someone say that Shang was not in the mood, Yinyin felt uncomfortable. Chun’er also felt dissatisfied with Yishui’s attitude. Ever since she was young, she knew that Lady Yi was not a good person. She had done countless things behind Madam Yi’s back.

“Chun Er, I’m tired!” As she spoke, Chun’er hurriedly helped Yi Yin up and prepared to return to her room.

Yishui didn’t think her aunt would be so rude to her. She looked at the embroidered robe and threw it onto the ground. She stomped on it and cried, “Auntie, you don’t have to worry about me anymore. You would rather care about an outsider than your own heart!”

Yinyin looked at the clothes that she was about to make. The footprints on the ground made her so angry that she was trembling. It took so long, how could she let Shang not wear it now that someone stepped on her?

“Pah!” Yinyin slapped Yishui’s face. Chun’er picked up the clothes and was about to wash them clean when Yinyin said, “Burn it. I’ll make it again when I have more time!” Chun’er nodded, then looked at Yishui who took her clothes and left.

“Aunt, you actually hit me?” Yi Shui covered her face and asked in disbelief, then shouted hysterically, “Auntie, do you really think that Prince Shang thinks of you as his mother?” Humph! She was just using you, aunt. You are the old mistress of the Ye family, and the reason for Crown Prince Shang’s actions is all because of your money. More importantly, Prince Shang has praised you so highly, didn’t he make you an enemy? ”

Shang Wuxin, who was about to speak to Yi Yin, did not expect to hear such words. He stood outside the yard and listened attentively.

Yi Yin didn’t expect her niece to say something like that, but was it really possible for her to say it? Yi Yin reached out her hand to support her hair. She was acting like a noble lady.

“Since Wuxin is my son’s beloved person and is a child that this madam has set her eyes on, then the Ye family is her and there is no need to scheme against them. Was it because I had unintentionally raised myself so high up, that I was able to stand firm and make enemies? Shui’er, you’ve followed your aunt for so long. It seems that you still don’t understand your aunt. Yi Yin said with a smile, “Since you’re not comfortable staying in the crown prince’s residence, then leave. I don’t want to know tomorrow that you’re still here!”

“Pa Pa Pa!” A clapping sound was heard. Shang Wuxin walked into the courtyard and came to Yi Yin’s side, “Aunt, I didn’t know you were so powerful. Tsk! Tsk! The first time I saw you, I thought you were a fairy!”

“That means I’m good at camouflage!” Seeing that Shang was not in the mood, Yinyin’s anger, which was disrupted by Yishui, subsided.

“Fearless, send Lady Yishui out!” Shang Tong ordered Dauntless right away. This woman was so untactful that she had to be chased away. Otherwise, he could not guarantee that he would kill her if he was ever in a bad mood.

“Shang Wuxin!” Yishui looked at the youth. The man she loved had appeared to her without a care in the world, and even her aunt had changed.

“If you still want to talk, then shut up!” Fearless dragged Yishui out of the courtyard, and one could hear the happy voices of Yinyin and Shang Wuxin in the courtyard.
