The Captivating Crown Prince

Chapter 158

“Mo Che, who do you think this year’s top scholar will go to?” Shang asked, uninterested.

At the beginning of the Martial Arts Exam, Shang Wuxin was bored, but as time went by, those who remained were those with higher martial arts skills. Shang Wuxin was also more interested, at this time there were only five people left on the field, and the champion of the Martial Arts Exhibition was one of them.

Huan Mo Che looked at the crown prince with some interest as he looked at the people below and became serious, but after a moment, Huan Mo Che laughed out loud, “The champion of this Martial Exhibition will be the one in green!” As he said that, Huan Mo Che looked at the name list on the side and said, “This person is called Wang Ben Song!”

Shang was not in the mood to look at the five people below. These five people were not descendants of the Shangguan family, but rather the homes of ordinary commoners. Although he did not look handsome, he could still be considered to be upright. Although the green clothes he wore still had some patches on it, he did not have the slightest bit of inferiority, and stood in a righteous and righteous manner. Such a person would be a loyal person even if he was a subordinate.

“Mo Che has good eyes!” In fact, Shang didn’t think that the champion of this year’s martial arts competition would be him. Not only was this person’s temperament good, but his martial arts were also very good. This man had a drive that no one else had. He was much stronger than the other four, filled with passion and fighting spirit.

The atmosphere between the two was too harmonious, so much so that many people had their suspicions. After all, both their statuses and looks were too high. Moreover, they were not women’s men, so more or less, they gave others a feeling of fantasy.

“I heard that the Minister of the Left is Zhexiu, he and General Leng …” Now that we have the Minister of the Left and the Crown Prince, it can’t be… ” Someone looked at the Minister of the Left and the Crown Prince sitting on it and asked doubtfully.

“This.” If that’s really the case, then doesn’t that mean that there’s a woman in the crown prince’s residence? ” One of them said in disbelief.

“What don’t you know? After all, the Crown Prince is not married yet!”

Shang An Cang looked down at the crowd as if they were discussing something, and then looked up at the two who were still unaware of what was happening, and revealed a smile. Crown Prince, ah! How long could a crown prince who disregarded the rules and regulations possibly sit in that position?

At this time, Shang Xin and Huan Mo Che were still chatting, completely unaware of the rumor that was spreading towards them from today onwards. By the time they realized what was happening, the rumor had already spread out.

“Bang!” The green-robed Wang Jiexi was the last to be knocked to the ground. The martial arts exam was already over, and the surrounding people kept on making sounds to congratulate the top scorer of the martial arts exam.

Shang Guan was not in the mood to look at the people below, while Huan Mo Che stood up, “The champion of this martial arts exam will be at ease!” Then, Huan Mo Che picked up one of the tokens. Wang Wu Song respectfully received the token and bowed to show his gratitude.

“Three days later, a banquet will be set up in the palace to congratulate the top scholar for Humanities and martial arts!” Of course, that day was also the day for him to choose his own consort. Shang Tong was in no mood to say anything and just left with Huan Mo Che, leaving those officials who wanted to curry favor with him at a loss for words.

“Second Princess, wait for my daughter!” The woman followed behind Shang Liangge. She wanted to take a few more glances at the crown prince before she left. If her father and mother hadn’t told her to please the second princess, she wouldn’t have been so indulgent towards this bad-tempered second princess.

The two of them suddenly walked into a remote alley. Shang Liangge suddenly stopped and looked at the woman who was following him. She smiled and asked, “Do you like the crown prince?” It was a smile of foreknowledge and clarity.

The woman’s cheeks turned red and she lowered her head. “Yes, I do!”

“Like it?” The woman raised her head and looked at Shang Xiange in disbelief. The pain in her heart made her want to scream, but she could only open her eyes wide and ask, “Why?”

Why did he want to kill him? Why did that domineering princess dare to kill someone? Why?

“Why?” Shang Xiange laughed innocently, “Because you are too stupid, so what if you are stupid? You are still so greedy.” Greedy people, I want to punish them! ” Then, he watched as the woman slowly fell to the ground, not breathing at all.

“Clean it up!” Shang Xiange’s voice carried a hint of coldness. This was not the usual Shang Xiange, but someone else.

“Yes sir!” A man dressed in black appeared in the alleyway and took away the corpse on the ground. It was as if nothing had happened.

Shang Wuxin and Huan Mo Che did not return to the residence of the crown prince, but instead went straight to the prison of the justice courts.

“Bring me the student who was captured that day!” “Go!” Illusory Mo Che ordered the head of the prison while Shang Wuxin and Illusory Mo Che sat in what felt like a prison. Behind them were a few Blood Shang soldiers and a few officials.

However, after a while, a few students, who had clearly lost a lot of weight, were brought into the cell. When they saw the crown prince, they hurriedly kowtowed and said, “Crown Prince, the crown prince is innocent!” When the children of the Shangguan family were locked up in the cell these past few days, they weren’t scared at all and felt that their families would take them out for sure. However, they didn’t expect that the Minister of the Left would handle this matter, let alone when they went out, it was even impossible to see their families. For the first time in days, these young masters of the Shangguan Family, who were all dressed in clothes and talking about food, felt scared.

“Unjustly accused?” Shang carelessly waved his hand. The Blood Shang Army soldiers next to him hastily tied a few students who were kowtowing and begging for mercy onto the torture instruments. This caused the students to become even more afraid. One student was actually scared to the point of wetting his pants.

“Tell me exactly how you bought the exam questions, from whom did you buy them, and the process behind them. Perhaps I will spare your lives!” Shang Wuxin said coldly as he sat there watching them.

It wasn’t that none of the students had gone to interrogate them in the past few days, but that nothing had been found out. Moreover, they were wary of the fact that the families behind them didn’t use torture. Although these students were not smart, they knew that if they were to give up those officials, there would be no good outcome for them.

“Crown Prince, you are in the wrong!” A student shouted, “We don’t know anything about it. It’s just that we met someone who was trying to buy it for the test, but it turned out to be true.” As for the person who sold the exam, he is masked, we did not see him clearly, I hope that you can observe him clearly, Crown Prince! ”

Shang Wuxin nodded his head and immediately, the Blood Shang Army soldiers went forward to put the torture tools on the student. However, they soon heard the student’s painful wails. However, at this moment, other than the other students in the cell, everyone else had a cold expression on their faces.

When the Blood Shang Army stopped, that student was already breathless. At this time, another student shouted in fear, “I’ll tell you!” I say! ”

With a smile on his face, Huan Mo Che gave the official behind him a look. The official immediately took out a pen and paper and began to record their words one by one. Then he made each of them place a fingerprint on it. The officers that had followed him into the cell today were all officials under the command of Huan Mo Che. In other words, they were all officials under the command of the crown prince.

When the official brought the paper to Shang’s side, he looked at the contents on it and laughed in extreme anger, “Good, this is indeed very good!” If she did not have any feelings for the State of Shang, others could play with her as they pleased, but now Shang Wuxin had already treated the State of Shang as her own property, and the State of Shang also had people whom she wanted to protect. These people clearly dared to disobey her orders.

“Arrest all the officials involved and bring them to justice. Those students who bought the Imperial Examinations will not be allowed to enter the imperial court for the rest of their lives!” There were quite a few officials who were involved in the Imperial Examinations, but even so, Shang had no intention of letting them go.

Shang carelessly looked at the people in the cell, instructing Dauntless, “Let these officials lead their sons. They are not strict in their punishments, let’s fight for forty!” Shang mused as he walked out of the cell. She would deal with the rest of the matters fearlessly.

When Shang had no intention of walking out of the cell or roaming the streets with Huan Mo Che, he always felt as if he was being watched, but every time he looked he saw none. But Shang had no intention of being confident of his vigilance, and immediately knew that there was someone watching him from the shadows.

“It’s still early, why don’t you go to Mo Che’s Under Heaven Tower?” If the two returned to the mansion, Shang Wuxin would either be in the study room or the sleeping quarters, but he also hoped that Shang didn’t have the heart to go to his own power, it would be best if the two could get to know each other and attract his attention.

“Alright!” Shang could not help but nod, and the two of them went to the Tower Under Heaven.

The two of them did not enter from the main entrance. Most powers like Han Xuanhao’s Star Pavilion had a back door, and their identities were not easily revealed either. Among those who entered the pavilion, there were not only scholarly people but also some officials.

“Young Master, Crown Prince!” After the steward bowed, he immediately served the two of them tea and other things. Today, no one other than the young master had ever entered the third floor. The steward actually brought the crown prince here.

Shang lost his mind, sitting on the third floor, and could see the situation clearly. He was surrounded by the scent of books and ink, giving him a sense of calmness and concentration.

“You’ve already been building it for many years already, I didn’t think that you, Mo Che, would be so intelligent at such a young age!” Shang was not in the mood to look at the decorations and the praising Mo Bao. If he had not experienced it himself, he might not have been able to create the Blood Shang Army so quickly.

Ever since he was young, Illusory Mo Che had heard too many praises and flattery. He had never felt anything from these sincere praises, but now that he heard Shang’s unintentional praise, his heart was filled with pride.

He did not need to close his eyes to recall Shang’s every frown, every smile, and every action. The scenes reflected in his mind made him unable to sleep, and then he would come to paint a picture scroll.

However, today, Huan Mo Che felt that it would be better to draw a picture of himself facing Shang Wu Xin like this. He liked to look at Shang Wu Xin, but he always had to suppress the light in his eyes.

Shang Wuxin had long since heard that the capital’s number one young master’s painting was a rare painting that was hard to come by, yet it was never for sale. Thus, he nodded his head in interest and laid down on the soft couch in the room. However, the latter realized that the crown prince was rather lazy and always liked to rest on the soft couch in his bedroom. Unknowingly, he bought a soft couch and placed it here, but he didn’t expect it to actually be used today.

Huanmo Che spread out the fine paper, took out a pen and ink, and put them away. When he was ready to look at Shang Wuxin again, he realized that he had fallen asleep. The corner of Huan Mo Che’s mouth revealed a doting smile as he caressed Shang’s heartless face from a distance.

The gorgeous youth under the halo, Shang Wuxin’s ink hair blowing gently outside the window, her clothes fluttering in the wind, the exquisite jade-like face, the lazy and cozy expression with her eyes closed, all of this, in the eyes of Huanmo Che, was as beautiful as a painting, neither light nor heavy, as if it had fallen on his heart.

Only after an hour did he finally put down the brush. At this time, a peerlessly beautiful youth had already jumped onto the paper, and even if the youth was to lie there with his eyes closed, it would still attract everyone’s attention. They could not help but think about what would happen if the youth were to open his eyes.

“Young master!” Just as the steward was about to speak, he was interrupted by Huan Mo Che. Huan Mo Che looked at Shang Wuxin and noticed that she was frowning before falling asleep. He then brought the steward out of the room and gently closed the door.

After the steward told him everything, Huan Mo Che realized that he had something to take care of himself. Raising his eyes to look at the room, he realized Shang Wuxin was still resting, so he sent his subordinate to protect the room and prepare to leave. Because he didn’t want to disturb Shang Wuxin, Huan Mo Che didn’t inform him.

Shang Wuxin woke up shortly after Huan Mo Che left. He did not seem to mind and directly walked over to the table. When he saw the painting on the table, he smiled. The painting of the capital’s number one young master was truly extraordinary.

No matter if it was drawing technique or technique, the most important thing was that Shang didn’t have the heart to discover that this painting could completely copy his temperament. Only with great effort could such a painting be drawn; Shang didn’t have the heart to take a complicated look before withdrawing his gaze.

This room not only had a soft bed, but also an inner room. Shang Tong could tell that this was the place where Huan Mo Che used to live since he had nothing better to do. Hmm, Huan Mo Che’s room was indeed very good, it was filled with exquisite decorations, and from time to time, it was even open to some well-tended orchids.

Shang was not in the mood to move as soon as he entered the room. There was only a large bed and a desk in the small room, but there were paintings hanging on the wall, and there was only one person in the paintings, and that person was himself.

Some of the youths in the painting rode their horses recklessly, some sat at the book table in a serious and cautious manner, and some carried their bright and clean meals … It was like Shang’s unintentional life, one had to put a lot of effort in order to remember it so clearly.

At this moment, Shang Wuxin felt that he had overlooked many things. His emotions came too quickly, and he wanted to take a few steps back to escape from the room, but at this moment, the door to the room suddenly opened. Upon entering the room, he saw that the crown prince was no longer panicking, and was walking into the room, just in time to run into the crown prince who was about to leave.

They looked at each other, speechless. Suddenly, the two of them felt awkward.

“I… I don’t have any other intentions, so don’t blame me if you didn’t mean to! ” It took a long time for Huanmo Che to explain. If Shang Wuxin did not even allow him to do something like this, then what would happen to his future feelings of love?

Shang didn’t have the heart to try his best to look normal. “It’s no problem, it’s my honor to be able to enter Mo Che’s painting!”

Both of them were putting on makeup for peace, but what had happened, could the feelings that had already begun really be described as makeup? It was just waiting for the day when it would explode.
