“Is this how Crown Prince Qing came to greet this guest from afar?” Shang Xin led the wooden garden out of the courtyard. Looking at the dozens of people standing outside his own courtyard, he had a smile on his face. As long as Shang was not in the mood to look, anyone would subconsciously avoid his gaze.
Qing Kui could not suppress the killing intent in his heart. This Crown Prince Shang was his nemesis. Regardless of whether it was in Nangong Country or today in Qing Country, he would be very unlucky to meet Crown Prince Shang. He had asked the Qing Mu Garden to give him a marriage ceremony, and recently, Qing Mu Garden seemed to have served him well, so He Nian had always been close to him, but he did not expect the Qing Mu Garden to be with Prince Shang, causing his plan to fail once again.
“Guest, Crown Prince Shang knows that he is a guest. If Crown Prince Shang knew himself well, he would understand what a guest should do, and not hang out with a princess who is engaged to be his guest!” Qing Kui’s words were somewhat unpleasant to hear. Not only did they belittle Prince Shang, they also caused Qing Mu Yuan to lose the reputation of a woman.
Shang Tong didn’t even bother to look at Qing Kui as he looked at the wooden garden beside him. As expected, the wooden garden didn’t have the slightest hint of sadness on its face. A child who was only ten years old was not moved by such words. He had heard too much, and his heart had become completely numb.
“Crown Prince Shang, although you are the Crown Prince of Shang, this is Qing Country. Crown Prince Shang, please reconsider returning this general’s fiancee to this general!” A lustful light flashed in He Nian’s eyes as he looked at the wooden garden beside Prince Shang. He Nian had taken a fancy to the fair and tender Princess of the Wood Garden for a long time. Normally, he would play with her, but she was a princess after all. No matter how wild he was, he knew he couldn’t surpass her. However, he did not expect that the Crown Prince would actually gift Princess Mu Yuan to him and ask him to be loyal to the Crown Prince. For He Nian, the Crown Prince’s accession to the throne was already certain. He could obtain beauties and please the Crown Prince, so why not?
He didn’t know how many women he had played with over the years, or how many he had killed, but this Woodland Princess really made He Nian very happy. Because of the Princess, He Nian had not been able to kill him even after several times they came into contact, and now this girl actually dared to bring a green hat to stand next to Prince Shang. He Nian felt that he must capture her and torture her.
“Fiancée?” Shang Wuxin sneered, “It won’t be for long!”
These words were spoken firmly but it was also a slap to He Jun’s face. He was a military man, so how could he bear such anger? He immediately sent out a palm attack towards Prince Shang, but before the palm attack could even reach him, he was kicked to the ground by Shang.
When He Nian saw Prince Shang humiliating him like this, he spat out a mouthful of blood due to his anger and injury. Qing Kui was also shocked by Prince Shang’s actions. When he was ready to let his subordinate take action, a eunuch suddenly appeared. However, this eunuch was not an ordinary person. He was the Minister of Imperial Household standing beside the Emperor.
“This servant pays his respects to Crown Prince Shang!” The eunuch walked up to Shang Wuxin and bowed respectfully. After following the Qing Emperor for a long time, he knew from him that Prince Shang was not someone who was easy to deal with. As a servant, he had his responsibilities.
Shang carelessly nodded his head, “May I know why eunuch is here?” Shang Wuxin’s attitude was not haughty, even though it was still cold and respectful. He was well aware that there were times when vile people were more difficult to deal with than gentlemen. If five people provoked him, Shang Wuxin would also never provoke others.
“The Emperor invites Prince Shang to enter the palace at noon for the banquet!” The eunuch chuckled as he conveyed the decree of the emperor. In fact, two days ago, the emperor wanted to invite Prince Shang, but Prince Shang had always claimed that he was ill. Now, hearing that Prince Shang and General He Nian had a dispute, the eunuch hurriedly sent his steward to invite Prince Shang.
Shang mused, “This crown prince knows, I will definitely attend the banquet at noon! I just don’t know if Crown Prince Qing and the others will be standing outside my courtyard for the whole morning? ” Although Shang Wuxin was smiling, his tone was laced with anger.
Although Qing Kui did not want to leave, he still wanted to continue targeting Prince Shang. However, the Minister of Imperial Household was someone close to the royal father. No matter how favoured Qing Kui was, he was still a crown prince and not the emperor.
When Qing Kui and He Nian left, Shang disheartened by the reproach of Qing Mu Yuan, he smacked Qing Mu Yuan’s head in a funny way, “Alright, I still have everything else to do. You don’t have to think too much at such a young age!”
Qing Mu Garden raised its head and laughed, that smile really had the innocence and hope of a child, and only by Prince Shang’s side was Qing Mu Garden like a child who forgot all the pain, compared to the past Shang Xin, Qing Mu Garden was still happy, thinking that you met someone who could save her.
It was already early in the morning, and with the change of clothes, Shang and Qing Mu Garden were already nearing noon. After the two had tidied up properly, they headed towards the imperial palace of the Qing Empire. If Shang did not know what had happened today, she would not have taken a step into the imperial palace at all!
Even Qing Kui was already sitting there, with his princess consort sitting beside Qing Kui, and below him sat He Nian. He Nian was accompanied by He Nian’s imperial concubine, and what followed next were the officials and children of He Nian.
He was astounded by Shang Wuxin’s beauty, or was it due to his endless jealousy of the Green Wood Garden. Back then, when he knew that the Qing Wood Garden had been given to General He Nian as his wedding, countless women scoffed at him. Now that he had brought along Princess Mu Yuan, many women wished they could pull Princess Mu Yuan away from them.
Shang unintentionally looked around and saw his seat, his own seat was actually between Qing Kui and He Nian. Shang Buxin slightly raised his eyebrows and brought Qing Mu Yuan to sit beside Qing Kui, while Qing Mu Garden sat beside Shang Wuxin, this action caused many people to whisper.
“Princess Mu Yuan, please come to this general’s side. You said that this general’s main wife should sit by this general’s side!” He Nian looked at those people sneering at Qing Mu Yuan. Although he spoke amiably, his eyes were warning.
Although she was not afraid of He Nian, in such an occasion the people sitting next to any man should be his concubine or his children, and he and Prince Shang had nothing to do with each other. If she allowed Prince Shang to suffer from such bad rumours, Qing Mu Yuan would not do so.
However, just as Qing Shi Yuan was about to make his move, he was stopped by Shang Wuxin. “Princess Mu Yuan can just sit beside this crown prince. As for General He Nian, he already has a beautiful woman by his side. Don’t force him!”
“Prince Shang, don’t go too far!” Qing Kui looked at the arrogant Shang Wu Xin and scolded him, “I thought that since Prince Shang was young, he would be a little rude, but I didn’t expect him to be so shameless. He not only pestered my sister, but now he even wants to snatch General He’s fiancee?”
“Royal brother!” “Prince Shang didn’t do anything. It’s just that I admire Prince Shang’s learning ability, which is why I want to follow him and learn more!” Qing Mu Yuan stood up in dissatisfaction, but her petite body remained upright without a trace of fear or cowardice.
It would have been tolerable if Prince Shang had rebuked Qing Kui, but he could not tolerate a retort from a mere princess who did not give him face. However, Qing Kui blamed everything on Prince Shang.
Qing Mu Garden’s seemingly protective words not only angered Qing Kui, but also caused the person sitting below Shang Wuxin to lose all face. Although He Nian was only a general, even the Qing Emperor would still show him respect. Currently, a young crown prince of Shang Kingdom actually dared to provoke him in such a way in Qing Country. The bloodlust and irritation from all these years of He Nian’s campaign on the battlefield rushed out in an instant, and he attacked Prince Shang with both of his hands.
Shang Wuxin was prepared when He Nian was trying to kill him, so when He Nian’s fist was aimed at him, Shang Wuxin received it with one hand, but warm blood splattered all over Shang Wuxin’s body.
Shang’s heart skipped a beat, and he slowly turned his head to see Qing Mu Yuan standing behind him with her arms outstretched, and a long sword stuck in her chest. The culprit was actually Qing Kui.
Qing Kui looked at the wooden garden in front of Prince Shang and also didn’t expect that when He Nian attacked Prince Shang, Qing Kui would take up his sword and prepare to kill him with a sword. Qing Kui looked at the wooden garden in front of Prince Shang and did not expect that when He Nian attacked Prince Shang, Qing Kui picked up his sword and prepared to kill Prince Shang with a sword.
“Wood garden?” Although He Nian had some resistance, he was still sent flying by the palm attack. The entire hall was in chaos, no one thought that General He Nian and Crown Prince Qing would actually work together to kill Prince Shang.
The fearless and fearless people that followed him into the palace heard the commotion and immediately rushed into the hall. They saw the crown prince carry the bloody wooden garden in his arms, and there was even a long sword stuck in the heart of the garden. Seeing this scene, both fearless and fearless eyes turned red.
No matter how furious he was, he knew that he had to comfort Prince Shang at this moment, or else there would be a war going on between the two countries.
“What’s going on?” As soon as the empress entered the hall, he immediately went to Shang’s side. “Is there anything you need, Prince Shang?”
“Call him an imperial physician!” “Call the imperial physician!” The girl in his arms was light, but so much blood had flowed out. Shang’s eyes were bloodshot from the blood, and his hands could barely hold onto the body of the wooden garden.
The imperial physician arrived at a room in a split-second, while Shang Guan stood outside the room, while the emperor, the crown prince, and many ministers stood outside the room. Shang Xin glanced at the emperor, the crown prince, and the ministers standing outside the room, and Shang Xin glanced at Hui, who stood outside the room, and the imperial physician entered a room, and the imperial physician stood outside, and the Qing emperor, the crown prince, and many ministers stood outside.
How could the Emperors of the Emperors not see the killing intention of Prince Shang towards their son, and what happened this time was indeed the fault of the Emperors. No matter what Prince Shang did, the Emperors of the Empire actually joined forces to kill Prince Shang.
“Men, suppress the Crown Prince!” Qing Kui of course knew the reason behind his father’s actions. He was suppressed by the guards without any excuse, but in his heart, he was regretting that he did not kill Prince Shang.
Fear not in the heart of indignation, but Shang no longer had the heart to look at the endless Imperial Palace guards let Fear not endure the anger in the heart.
At that moment, the imperial physician walked out from the room …
