Chapter 302

Shang was about to get off the horse carriage when he suddenly remembered that he was still inside the carriage.

“Cough!” Shang was not in the mood to cough, and deliberately changed the subject, “Looks like today’s Lantern Festival will not be good!” But luckily, Huan Mo Che was worried about Shang Wu Xin because he knew that the current situation would not be safe, so he easily let go of this matter. Or perhaps, Huan Mo Che didn’t even consider that possibility.

“Don’t get too far away from me today!” Huan Mo Che followed him down from the carriage. This time, Shang Gong did not interfere with Huan Mo Che’s plans, so even though Huan Mo Che knew but was not clear about certain matters, he was still worried about Shang Wu Xin’s fate.

Shang Guanxin nodded his head and followed the direction of Huanmo Che, afraid that he would bring up the matter of his corset again. It seemed like he could not hide his identity for too long, Huanmo Che and Leng Yufeng were on completely different levels.

Shang unintentionally alighted from the carriage and saw Emperor Shang stepping down from the back of a eunuch. Shang unintentionally walked over to Emperor Shang. Both father and daughter stood at the foot of the thousands of steps, sighing at the same time.

The entrance of the Thousand Buddha Temple was a few thousand steps, and everyone that came to the temple had to walk up step by step. Even the emperor was no exception.

If he used the light skill, Shang didn’t know how long it would take, but it would still take him a long time to walk up one step at a time. The father and daughter duo started to walk up the mountain as Shang Tong carelessly caressed the arm of Emperor Shang.

Seeing that the emperor and the crown prince had started to walk, the officials and the young ladies of the Shangguan family who followed behind felt bitter! One must know that during the Flower Lantern Festival, even though Emperor Shang came to the Thousand Buddha Temple, he did not bring a few officials with him.

“Does royal father have to walk up there every year?” The emperor was already gasping for breath when they were halfway there. If it were not for the fact that the emperor had been practicing martial arts all year long, he would have been supported to sit by the steps like some civil officials.

Emperor Shang looked at his daughter, who was holding him in her arms, and felt very proud. He nodded at her words, but he was afraid that his daughter would be in trouble during the Lantern Festival so he never brought the crown prince along. Emperor Shang looked at Huan Mo Che who was following beside Shang Wuxin, and instructed him, “Mo Che, if Xin’er can’t crawl anymore, you must keep your heart at your back!”

As for what was wrong with the public, the emperor didn’t care at all. Other people’s opinions weren’t as important as his daughter’s. What if his daughter got hurt because of this? Emperor Shang was now the eldest daughter of all the world.

“Yes!” This humble subject understands! ” Huan Mo Che nodded. Even though he had been standing at the bottom of the stairs, but watching Emperor Shang and Shang Wu Xin conversing without a word, he was clear enough to give Shang Wuxin enough room to speak.

It was at this moment that a woman pulled at Illusory Mo Che’s sleeves, and said with a weak voice, “Senior Minister Zuo, my daughter ….” As he said this, he prepared to fall into the embrace of Huan Mo Che, and the maidservant by the side of the woman was even more panicked. “Miss!”

Because Huan Mo Che had been paying attention to Shang Tong the entire time, he hadn’t noticed which Miss or official followed behind him, but he didn’t expect that this woman was also capable, to actually be able to catch up to Huan Mo Che amidst so many soft and soft girls, and even wanted Huan Mo Che to be the hero that saved the beauty.

The father and daughter both stopped to look and saw a woman dressed in pink falling towards Huan Mo Che. Hmm, Huan Mo Che disdainfully pulled back his sleeves, and just as the woman was about to fall into the embrace of Huan Mo Che, Huan Mo Che took a step up the stairs and stood beside Shang Wuxin.

The woman did not expect that Illusory Mo Che would actually make such a move, but Shang Wuxin was able to tell that the woman had some skill. The woman did not expect that Illusory Mo Che would actually make such a move, but Shang Guanxin could actually see that the woman had some skill.

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” But how could the woman not know that a fearless hand would actually come, so she immediately reached out to grab the maid who was standing there, but the smile on Huan Mo Che’s face was filled with tenderness, he only saw Huan Mo Che’s inner force moving, and the maid and the woman just rolled down the high steps like that, but no one dared to save them.

Shang Wuxin stood at the top of the stairs, looking at Illusory Mo Che beside him and complimenting him, “Well done!”

Huan Mo Che looked at the woman who had been rolling down the entire time, and his voice contained a rarely seen coldness, “Of course, I have a heart, how can I let others covet me!” As he spoke, he tore apart his own sleeve, and the sleeve that the woman had just touched was ripped apart and thrown onto the stairs. He hated being schemed against the most. Not to mention that this girl was not only scheming against him but coveting him as well. Even when he was alone, he could not stand to look at her like this.

The woman kept falling down the stairs. Shang could see her face even from a distance. The maid was probably crippled as well. The crowd looked down at the unknown woman below them. They all looked up with fear in their eyes.

High up on the stairs, the crown prince was wearing a python robe as he stood there. Despite his seemingly lazy and casual attitude, what flowed out was as if there was elegance and nobility hidden in her bones, and his deep eyes seemed to be filled with a faint mist, making it hard for people to see the crown prince’s emotions. Even though he was standing on the stairs, it made everyone feel as if he was sitting on a high step, looking down at the world from an endless flight of steps.

After a very, very long time, many courtiers and officials remembered the Crown Prince’s gaze today. On the stairs, Shang An Cang couldn’t help but feel the Crown Prince’s eyes on him, only resting on him. His legs felt weak, and his eyes were so deep that it seemed like nothing he could hide from his eyes. Shang An Cang kept comforting himself before he lowered his head, oblivious to everything that was happening.

He suddenly reached out and patted the back of the Emperor’s hand. This gesture of consolation somewhat surprised the Emperor, but when he saw his daughter’s pained expression, he was somewhat puzzled but at the same time, felt that his daughter was very sensible.

“Drag him away!” “From now on, this woman is not allowed to attend any banquets!” Shang Tong ordered in an indifferent tone. In a word, he had ruined half of this woman’s future. What use could a girl who couldn’t even attend a banquet have?

Shang had never been a good person, not to mention that these people wanted to covet his man. In fact, if Huan Mo Che had not acted just now, Shang Wuxin would definitely not have let that woman off. The man who was luring him from behind, would definitely not have tolerated it!

The crowd followed behind him. When Shang Tong supported the Emperor at the entrance of the temple, he saw a monk dressed in a monastic robe standing there, and behind the monk were other monks.

“Grandmaster Wu!” Emperor Shang placed his hands together, and nodded at the monk. A king like this could be seen from this man’s reputation as a masterless man. He saw Grandmaster Wu’s green monastic robe was very simple and concise, as if he was an intelligent elder. However, if one were to see Grandmaster Wu’s pair of eyes, they would have been filled with the indifference of seeing through the mundane world.

“Emperor Shang, please come in!” Great Master Wu bowed towards Emperor Shang, then led him into the temple. At this time, Grandmaster Wu looked at Shang Wuxin, who was standing behind the Emperor, and spoke with nothingness in his voice, “This must be the crown prince, right? Emperor Shang is blessed!”

This kind of praise made Emperor Shang smile. Grandmaster Wu was a great monk, as he was when Emperor Shang was young, but now that he was still like this, how could he not make Emperor Shang admire him, and what he had prophesied throughout the years happen, but never to get involved in the affairs of the imperial court. He was a true great monk.

“Grandmaster Wu is too kind!” She had always felt that Grandmaster Wu was looking at her through the lens of his eyes, which made Shang Wuxin uncomfortable. Moreover, he did not like the fact that his secrets were not revealed to others.

Grandmaster Wu came to Shang’s side, smiling. Under Shang’s watchful gaze, he said, “The soul is destroyed and the soul is destroyed. The cause of the death shall come to fruition. I hope the Crown Prince can keep his true heart!” This sentence caused Shang Wuxin’s eyes to glaze over. Others might not understand Grandmaster Wuxin’s words, but Shang Wuxin did.

She died in the modern era, and was resurrected here. That feeling passed in the modern era, but now there was someone she liked. Master Wu was indeed not a mortal, and Shang Wuxin did not like others knowing his secret, but he also knew that a person like Master Wu could not be provoked.

These rooms were made of bamboo and were very simple, but had a unique flavor. The entire temple could smell the sandalwood fragrance, and there was even the sound of chanting sutras.

Shang had no intention of entering his own room. It was already afternoon, and he was waiting for the night light! As soon as he entered the room, Shang Wuxin sent Dauntless and the others down. He lay alone on his bed, deep in thought.

“Is Xin’er resting?” Illusory Mo Che’s room was right next to them. He had just finished packing his things when he came over. Actually, he had already noticed that Shang Tong was not in his right mind. He was actually on guard against a senior monk like Grandmaster Wu, but he did not have any intention of killing him.

Fearless nodded, “The crown prince has already rested!”

Huan Mo Che directly and gently opened the room’s door and walked in. Fearless and the others did not obstruct him. As soon as he walked into the room, he saw Shang Wuxin lying on the relatively hard bed, her eyes wide open. It was unknown what she was thinking about.

“He’s here!” Shang was not in the mood to speak, but he was obviously not in the mood.

“Not feeling well?” He sat down on the bed and caressed Shang Wuxin’s forehead. When he found the temperature normal, he felt slightly relieved. After that, he placed the blanket and other items on the bed. This way, he would be able to sleep more comfortably.

There were some things that Shang Wuxin did not wish for experts like Huanmo Che to appear, so he could only smile, “It’s just that I have a headache today!” He clearly knew that Shang had no intention to conceal anything, but Huan Mo Che did not expose him either, and only accompanied Shang Wuxin as they lay there, deep in their own thoughts.

However, if it was a simple courtyard, it would not be a simple one either. This courtyard was built very high, and one could probably see all the lanterns in the capital city. More importantly, the lanterns were very large, and around the lanterns were different images of buddhas, which were said to have been personally painted by Grandmaster Wu Zhu.

Emperor Shang walked over to the lantern and took the fire piston offered by Eunuch Xu. He lit up the center of the lantern, and the lantern rose slowly into the night sky, becoming a bright, specified light.

The lanterns rose high in the sky, but at this time, countless guards appeared around the courtyard, surrounding it layer by layer. Emperor Shang was somewhat surprised, but he did not panic as he asked, “Where is Wang Hou?”
