The Captivating Crown Prince
-
chapter-63
Shang Wuxin got out of the carriage, and Leng Yufeng immediately stood beside Shang Wuxin after seeing the youth who got out of the carriage.
Shang Wuxin looked at the man who seemed to be silently standing beside him every time no matter what happened, and sighed with emotion. She felt that no matter what happened in the future, she would definitely give this man wealth and glory. What Shang Wuxin did not know was that this man had never been begging for wealth and glory, but someone had sincerely looked back.
Shang Wuxin did not approach the woman, only standing under the heavy protection of the guard, watching the woman who was kowtowing.
Although the woman’s appearance could not be seen clearly, the suggestion of disregarding her disfigured appearance and bleeding made many people feel pity for her. Shang Wuxin stood there and watched the woman kowtow for a long time before speaking slowly, “Do you recognize me?”
When the woman heard the voice, she raised her head. The woman was wearing a pink gauze dress, slender and slender with jingling rings. She had a cute and exquisite appearance, and there were a few traces of worry between her eyebrows.“Look, I saw it!” The woman kneeled down and answered modestly, but Shang Wuxin did not have the desire to ask any further.
Leng Yufeng saw that the Crown Prince was bored, so he stood up and asked, “Why do you want to stop the Crown Prince?” Leng Yufeng spoke with an intimidating aura. The aura of a general who had killed countless people carried the power of thunder, causing the girl’s face to turn pale.
“I … …” “I just have no other choice!” “… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … The woman cried and said, “I originally wanted to sell myself to bury my father, but I just wanted to be a maid.” But this person … This person not only wanted to abduct my daughter into a room, he didn’t even want to give my daughter any money! He wanted my daughter’s father’s body to be left on the street! The little girl couldn’t help but want to resist, but this person actually gave her father’s corpse away … As she spoke, the woman began to cry bitterly. “Father was actually thrown into the unmarked cemetery by a wild beast …”
The crowd couldn’t help but sigh at the woman’s bitterness, and even more so at the man behind them, they looked at him with loathing in their eyes. Many people were like this. Even if they did not lend a hand, they would always claim to be on the right side.
“So?” Shang asked in a bored tone.
The woman looked at the unmoved crown prince and cried miserably. “I ran away but had no way of finding a way to see the crown prince, so I beseeched the crown prince to save my life. I am willing to be your slave to repay the crown prince!” As he spoke, he continued to kowtow.
Although this road was quiet, it was not devoid of people. Currently, there were many people standing on the streets. Leng Yufeng was a little worried. If the crown prince did not save this girl, it would damage his reputation as a virtuous person. Even though Leng Yufeng did not agree with the crown prince saving this woman.“Oh?” Shang had no intention of playing with the jade pendant on his waist and asked in interest, “How did you know I would save you?” After all, becoming a maid was a good way out. “Since you don’t have a father or mother, this man might not be someone you can rely on!”
Some people felt that what the crown prince said was reasonable. After all, the girls all relied on men. It was only natural for her to act according to the status of the maidservants.
“No!” The woman immediately refused, “My little girl is a clean and innocent family. She only wants someone who is worth entrusting her life to.” This little girl knows that the crown prince is a good person, saving so many commoners in Phoenix City, begging the crown prince to save this little girl! “I don’t want to marry, I just want to live in peace!”
“You slut!” Your father thinks that you are your honor, but you still dare to complain to the crown prince! “Your father will tell you, the Crown Prince will not stand up for you, little slut!” The big man spoke with a mouth full of obscenities as he continued to punch and kick the woman nonstop. “Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!”
“Kill him!” Shang Wuxin frowned and said, but Leng Yufeng killed the big man with a single palm.
Leng Yufeng’s actions were too fast, causing many people to not be able to react in time. When they came back to their senses, they were already a little afraid. After all, General Leng’s name was not just for show, but everyone knew that the person who gave the order was indeed the crown prince. It seemed that the Crown Prince was very scholarly and weak, but his methods were eye-catching for a lot of people.
“Many thanks to the crown prince for saving my life. I am willing to repay the crown prince for being your servant!” The woman said gratefully, her eyes filled with gratitude.
Shang Wuxin laughed softly, but for some reason, when Leng Yufeng saw that the crown prince’s smile was extremely cold, it was so cold that even cracks appeared on the crown prince’s bones. Although Shang Wuxin got into the carriage, he still left behind a sentence, “Since that’s the case, there are indeed very few maids in the crown prince’s household. Go and serve them!”
A group of people continued to move forward. On the carriage, Shang Wuxin was forced by Nangong Lian to ask, “How did you get this woman into the crown prince’s mansion?” Don’t tell me you’ve really fallen for her beauty! “However, this woman does look good!”
Although Nangong Lian’s words were not pleasant to hear, her tone was filled with concern. Although she was a woman, she had seen too many insidious tricks and plots with her royal brother. Thus, she became more suspicious. Many times, a woman’s beauty was deadly. Nangong Lian did not wish for Prince Shang to be injured, regardless of whether it was her emotional or physical injuries.
Shang Wuxin looked at Nangong Lian who was wearing a veil and thought it was funny. It seemed that from the first time she had met Nangong Lian, she had trusted him and was very concerned about herself. Unlike other people who cared about her with their interests and guesses, Nangong Lian’s concern was pure and warm, making Shang Wuxin feel very comfortable.
Stretching out a finger to support Nangong Lian’s chin, Shang Wuxin was like a gangster who was flirting with a lady. “Tsk, tsk, I have such a beauty by my side, what other beauty could enter my eyes?” “Why don’t the Fifth Princess come to my crown prince’s residence?”
Even though she knew Prince Shang was joking, Nangong Lian still blushed from being teased. It was because Prince Shang’s complexion was too high and his voice was too pleasing to the ears that even a woman as resolute as Nangong Lian could not avoid being bewitched.
When had Nangong Qian ever seen someone molest his little sister in front of him? Furthermore, no one had the mental fortitude to tease her little sister’s appearance. If it were not for the fact that Prince Shang’s eyes were clear and without a trace of vulgarity, Nangong Qian would have really intervened. Even so, Nangong Qian still felt uncomfortable in his heart. Even though he was not close to a woman, he was not opposed to women who loved beautiful women. Perhaps it was because Prince Shang was flirting with his younger sister, Nangong Qian felt that something wasn’t right.
Nangong Qian did not even think and took Prince Shang’s hand away from her younger sister’s chin. This was the second time he had touched her hand today, so Nangong Qian’s heart was not as calm as it seemed.
Shang Wuxin only withdrew her hand calmly in response to Nangong Qian’s suggestion. After all, the one she was flirting with was her sister, so it was already good that she did not pull out her blade to deal with him. However, Shang Wuxin was also thinking that it was impossible for her not to marry the crown prince, even though it would be fine for her not to. But now. It had to be said that at this moment, Prince Shang was truly evil.
At this moment, Nangong Lian looked at the hand her imperial brother had just taken down. She was a little worried that her imperial brother would cripple Prince Shang’s hand. Her royal brother was not a good person. Furthermore, he was extremely disgusted with the approach of others. Even Nangong Lian had been thrown out when she tried to act coquettish with her royal brother. However, to Nangong Lian’s surprise, her Imperial Brother only took Prince Shang’s hand away. He did not show any disdain or disgust. It was truly strange.
“Prince Shang would really cause trouble for himself!” Nangong Qian said meaningfully. After all, Prince Shang had taken in that woman, and Nangong Qian was well aware that this Prince Shang was not a perverted person. Even the woman herself could tell that this Prince Shang must have seen through it. However, seeing that he was still around, Nangong Qian could not help but admire Prince Shang’s bold and indifferent attitude.
“Trouble was never caused by me, it was caused by myself!” Shang Wuxin said nonchalantly, “Besides, having such a beauty is not a big deal!”
As they talked, they arrived at the palace. Shang Wuxin led Nangong Qian and the rest to the designated residence, a palace that was used to entertain the envoys of other countries.
“Prince Qian, Fifth Princess, do as you please!” “If there’s anything else, I won’t be accompanying you!” As soon as she finished speaking, she turned and left. Her back was thin and had an indescribable elegance, as if she was like a gust of wind that could not be stopped.
Shang did not have the heart to know that the dinner was served to Nangong Qian, and since it was still early, Shang was ready to go to the Kun Ning Palace to sleep. It had to be said that the environment there was very pleasing to the eye. It always made people feel very tranquil when they were there.
The Kunning Palace was as beautiful and peaceful as ever, as though the hustle and bustle outside had never been seen before. Every flower and tree was filled with vitality. Such a scene occurring within the palace caused one’s heart to be filled with a pure land.
Shang Wuxin dodged many of the hidden guards and snuck into the Kunning Palace to rest in the side chamber prepared by the previous empress, but he did not expect to run into Emperor Shang walking out from inside. When father and son saw each other, they were speechless for a moment.
After a long time, Shang Wuxin nodded and said, “Imperial Father!” With that, he walked inside, his arrogance seeping out from his bones. It was as if the person standing beside her was not her father, but a subordinate, not the emperor of a country.
Emperor Shang watched as his child walked into the side hall that he and the empress had personally arranged for her. His eyes, which had been sharp despite the hardships he had experienced, were momentarily confused and confused. Just as Shang Wuxin was about to enter the side hall, Emperor Shang asked, “Why did you come in?”
He knew how powerful the defenses were, because he had set them up. However, Empress Shang was afraid that if the child was accidentally discovered, these guards would not show mercy because she was the crown prince. If anything happened to the child, Emperor Shang would not even dare to think about it.
“This is supposed to be my place, shouldn’t I come?” Shang Wuxin asked with a smile, “Father has been in disguise for too long, have you forgotten about this matter?”
Looking at his child walking into the side hall, Emperor Shang stood there for a long time before walking into the side hall. Seeing his own child lying on the soft bed that he had arranged when the empress was pregnant, Emperor Shang’s heart felt uncomfortable.
Looking at his child, Emperor Shang fell into a trance. It seemed it had been a long time since he had seen his child in such detail. His children had all the virtues of him and the queen, even if it was only lying there.
Perhaps Emperor Shang was overthinking things in the Kunning Palace, or perhaps he was just staying here with his own child. He recalled many things, and Emperor Shang asked, “Xin’er, in all these years, have you hated your father?”
