Chapter 121
“Royal Brother!” Nangong Lian wore a soft, watery, flowery dress with a snow-covered veil. She wore a fragrance bag and a pendant on her belt, and she came to Nangong Qian’s courtyard with an excited expression, but she did not enter. Although she was Nangong Qian’s younger sister, Nangong Lian knew how to control her brother’s personality even if she was cold-blooded, so she had always been very honest by Nangong Qian’s side …
Seeing that his imperial brother was practicing his swordsmanship, she felt a little envious as she watched him brandish his sword. She also picked up her sword and started practicing as well, but Nangong Lian was already panting. Nangong Qian did not change her expression, there was nothing in her expression other than the weapon in her hand. Even Nangong Lian took a few steps back in fear.
After an hour, Nangong Qian put down the long sword in his hand and took the handkerchief from the guard. He wiped the sweat off Dong Ri’s forehead and walked into the main hall while Nangong Lian quickly followed from her chair …
“Brother Huang, are you preparing to go to Shang Country?” In her heart, she really wanted to go to Shang Country. She wanted to go there, to miss Prince Shang, to miss the fearlessness, to miss the crown prince’s residence, and to miss the fatty who would make her angry …
Nangong Qian looked at his younger sister, then he handed the handkerchief to the guard beside him and casually said, “This year’s New Year’s Eve, This King will not be staying in Nangong. This King will have to take care of Shang’s government affairs, so don’t leave the mansion!”
As for what he was going to do, even Nangong Qian felt that it was absurd, because he missed Prince Shang too much. It seemed that he could not get rid of the shadow in his heart at any time, and he also knew that Prince Shang’s birthday was New Year’s Eve, so how could he not join in on such a good day?
“What?” Nangong Lian stood up and looked at Nangong Qian in disbelief, “Royal brother, you want me to stay in the palace?” No! “I want to go to Shang with you. Don’t worry, I will be obedient along the way and not cause trouble for you!”
Nangong Qian was not moved. He could protect this imperial sister and help her, but he was still the aloof and cold-blooded modest king. Thus, when he glanced at Nangong Lian, Nangong Lian did not dare to say anything else. Instead, she merely made a face at Nangong Qian and ran out angrily …
“My lord, I’m afraid the court will not be stable if we go to Shang now!” From afar, Nangong Qian stood at the side of the crowd and said: “This time, the prince’s return has increased my speed and gathered all the forces in the imperial court. However, due to the suppression from the emperor, the imperial court has yet to be completely under my control, so if I leave at this time, wouldn’t all my efforts be in vain?”
Nangong Qian gave a cold laugh, “It’s better if things get messy!” This King will only be able to see the wolf ambition of many if I am not in the Nangong Kingdom. Furthermore, even if I leave, I will not fail to make preparations. Go down and prepare for today’s journey to Shang Country! ”
Nodding his head in the distance, Nangong Qian went back to his room to look at the books he had picked up in the past few days. Ever since he saw that the crown prince loved these books in the carriage, he was sure of his intentions towards the crown prince. It was to give these lonely books to Prince Shang when he met the Crown Prince and seize his smile …
After Nangong Qian had settled everything, he got into the carriage and hurried to Shang Country. Halfway there, Nangong Qian looked at a short guard among his guards and said, “You, come here!”
The guard stopped and greeted Nangong Qian. Nangong Qian felt helpless, but he had a very serious expression on his face. “You must have worked hard on this journey?” Sure enough, the Imperial Guard raised his head in shock. ‘How is this Imperial Guard Princess Nangong Lian?’
“Brother Huang!” Originally, Nangong Lian was afraid that her Imperial Brother would punish her, but now she stomped her feet angrily. “Imperial Brother, you already knew that I was in the guard’s midst, but you actually made me freeze for so many days outside. You’re too heartless!”
Because she wanted to go to Shang Country but her imperial brother did not agree, Nangong Lian had no choice but to secretly sneak into the guard team. At that time, the Emperor of Shang would not chase her away. Nangong Lian’s plan was very good, but she did not know that she would be discovered when she sneaked into the guard.
“You still have some sense?” Nangong Qian’s expression turned cold, “Didn’t you hear what This King said?” Or are This King’s words useless now!? “By sneaking into the group and not letting you suffer a little, do you know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is?”
When Nangong Lian saw that her imperial brother seemed to be slightly angry, she hurriedly shrank her neck and tried to ingratiate herself with Nangong Qian, “Royal brother, I know I was wrong!” Brother, how boring it is for me to stay in the palace by myself. Furthermore, I don’t even have a single relative who goes to the palace on New Year’s Eve. Do you want to see the expressions of those people? I like to go to Shang Country and like the Crown Prince’s Palace, so I want to live there on New Year’s Eve! “I know I’m being impulsive, but I really don’t want to be alone in the mansion!”
Even though Nangong Qian did not feel bad for her little sister, she knew that it was not easy for her either. The two siblings always relied on each other, and she did not have any feelings for this little sister. However, she did not want to make her feel lonely …
“Come on up!” As Nangong Qian spoke, he put down the carriage curtain and calculated how long he would take to get to Shang. He wondered if Prince Shang, that devilish brat, missed him. What if Prince Shang forgot about him?
Nangong Lian happily hopped a few times and climbed onto the carriage. She sat inside obediently without making a sound. She was afraid that if she kept chirping, she would get Brother Huang to throw her off the carriage. It wouldn’t be worth it …

“Crown Prince!” Lord Left Premier! Young Master Han! “Young Master Ye!” Head Steward Hai led Dauntless to stand in the crown prince’s yard and bow without fear
Before Shang Wuxin could say anything, Han Xuanhao called out, “Master Hai, there’s no need to be so polite!” “Is Head Steward Hai feeling better these days?” Han Xuanhao did not know any women in the crown prince’s courtyard, but everyone knew of his identity, so they felt much more at ease …
The two of them agreed that Han Xuanhao was a flatterer. Not only did he curry favor with the crown prince, he even tried to ingratiate himself with the crown prince’s steward. Moreover, this steward was extremely important to the crown prince.
He thought highly of this Young Master Han; not only did he have a good appearance in martial arts, but more importantly, he had taken care of the Crown Prince with great care these days. Only such a man would be able to be with the Crown Prince, even if he became the Crown Prince in the future.
At this moment, Han Xuanhao had no idea that he was being looked down upon by someone else. He was only proudly showing off to the two men beside him.
“Thank you for your concern, Young Master Han. I am much better now!” “He can even serve the crown prince for many years!” He looked just like a loving senior. However, Manager Hai was indeed very good to the crown prince and the others, but he did not show mercy to those who did not know how to teach him. His methods of torturing others were the same as well.
“What nonsense are you spouting?” Shang Wuxin glanced at Head Steward Hai, “You must accompany me for a long time!” No matter how cold she was, she knew how to be thankful towards this old man who was constantly worried for her. She hoped that in the future, no matter how hard she worked, she would always have this kind of family member standing here …
He wanted to cry, but thinking about how the crown prince hated his tears the most, he could only hide his tears and bow. “This old servant still has matters to attend to, so I’ll be leaving first!”
As the four sat down, Shang did not bother to ask, “How is the Third Princess?” Seeing that she was safe and sound, Shang Wuxin knew that she had succeeded. She had not paid any attention to the news in the capital these few days; she just wanted to hear what the two of them said personally …
Dauntless stood there and said slowly, “The Crown Prince’s plans are as good as gods. After this servant left with the Third Princess, she was followed by people along the way. Fortunately, this servant didn’t let the Third Princess out of the carriage, and the next night, we were assassinated. Many of them had abandoned the Third Princess and escaped. So this servant and the others were safe and sound.” “Those assassins found out that it wasn’t the crown prince who entered the carriage and killed the third princess!”
Shang Wuxin was not surprised, since someone had blocked her way, it was to kill her. If the Third Princess had been more obedient, perhaps she would have returned to the palace to be her princess. Unfortunately, she did not understand …
“How about in the imperial court?” Although the death of a princess was nothing to Shang Wuxin, but the death of a princess outside the palace was something that some people would not do. Many of the matters in the imperial court were handled by Mystic Moon, and she still had some trust in herself, but she knew that even if she wasn’t in the capital, she was still very clear about what was going on in the imperial court. Of course, it would be easy if he wanted to know, but he was too lazy …
A symbolic smile appeared on Mo Che’s face again, “The third princess came out of the palace to play. Along the way, she met robbers who insulted and killed her. The local magistrate reported this to the imperial court, and the emperor buried the third princess with great sorrow!”
“Well done!” The death of a princess in a country did not cause much harm. Moreover, the Third Princess being a princess was not only out of the palace, but she should have died in the outside world as well. Furthermore, the most important thing was that the Third Princess had been given such a disgraceful reputation.
Huan Moche was somewhat at a loss for what to do with the crown prince’s praise, and hurriedly said, “It’s all what Mo Che should do!”
