Chapter 248
Chapter 248
Standing on the high tower, Shang had no intention to sleep. Standing on the high tower, one could see the palace very clearly, including the night of slaughter.
The cloak he was wearing was already soaked in dew. Shang Wuxin noticed that Dauntless’s clothes were still stained with blood as he walked down the stairs. The night’s worth of fighting had made the two of them look awkward but their eyes were glowing.
“Are you hurt?” Shang Wuxin’s voice carried the hoarse tone of a man who had not rested for the whole night. It was as if one could hear the chill in his voice through the air, yet such a cold person would cause one’s heart to beat warmly.
This time, the crown prince had sent many of his army to hide within the palace, so even if there were any strange movements, the army’s power was still there. The majority of the guards, palace ladies, and eunuchs in the palace had all died as a result of their command, but most of the deaths were because they wanted to transmit the news or infiltrate the forces to save the officials in the prison. Not a single one of them was innocent.
Unafraid and fearless wanted to follow him but were rejected by Shang. After all, the two of them were tired from the night of fighting, and Shang was a little obsessed with cleanliness, so the two of them needed to return to the house to wash up. After following the crown prince for a while, they knew that the crown prince was happy and quiet.
Dauntless and fearless walked out of the palace, but they did not expect to meet a person that surprised them. They fearlessly and dubiously winked at Dreadless, and that teasing look made Dreadless blush a little, and he greeted the person in front of him, “Sir Erlang!”
The former scholar, Fang Donqing, wore a robe and his hair stood up slightly. Although he was not as exquisite as Shang Wuxin and the others, he was still a gentle and handsome man. His scholarly aura gave people a very comfortable feeling. After being appointed by the crown prince, Fang Donqing had always worked diligently to seek benefits for the commoners. Now, he was even more of a good official with two sleeves and a light breeze. Many people were very optimistic about him.
The two were unmarried men and women, and Fang Dongqing didn’t even have a concubine, so he was also a good man. Thus, although the two of them didn’t have a clear relationship, they still had a vague feeling of love. In recent days, Fang Donqing seemed to have pursued more fearlessness. This made many people in the crown prince’s residence realize that they were very optimistic about this couple as they kept their blessings towards them.
“Why are you calling me Lord Lang Zhong? I’m not just calling me Dong Qing!” Fang Donqing walked up to Dauntless and stood there. He did not show much eagerness, but he did not lose etiquette either. Every move of his carried a comfortable distance. He then looked at Dreadless with a smile and said, “There’s also no fear!”
Although he was fearless in front of outsiders, he was still very lively as long as he was familiar with Fang Donqing. He joked as he looked at Fang Zhouqing, “My husband only has fearlessness in his eyes, how can he even see me?” But I know what’s good for me. If I don’t bother you, I’ll return home first! ”
The relationship between the fearless and fearless was also very good. From their initial appreciation to the time they slowly got along, the two were not blood sisters, but rather close sisters. It was obvious that the fearless Dongqing still had feelings for each other, and this middle-aged man was not bad in appearance and knowledge. If the two of them could be together from now on, the crown prince would definitely not let Dauntless suffer any grievances, so he agreed to their relationship from the very beginning.
“Ah, fearless!” Fearless’ face turned red as he looked fearlessly at Dong Qing leaving. He was at a loss as to what to do to Fang Dong Qing. Even though he was usually cold-blooded and cautious towards the crown prince and was no worse than a man in handling matters, he was, after all, a girl who had never experienced love before. It was the first time in her life that she felt good towards someone, but she was still a bit nervous and at a loss.
Dreadless and Fang Donqing were the only ones left on the road. The two of them started to feel awkward, but just as Dreadless was about to leave, Fang Donqing walked up to Dreadless and asked with concern, “You didn’t sleep last night?”
Fearless nodded, then seemed to remember that his clothes were filled with blood, while Fang Donqing beside him was extremely clean. Thinking this, Fearless started to back off. Her hands were stained with blood, but this man was a very honest subject, did they really have a future?
Fang Donqing seemed to have noticed the restraint. He walked up to his carriage and asked, “Dauntless, could you accompany me outside the city to take a look?”
After all, the crown prince was still in the palace. She was prepared to look for the crown prince after she changed her clothes, but before Fang Donqing could reject her, he knew that he had to reach out and pull the carriage, which was filled with the fearless’ hands, away from him. His voice was filled with grievance and tenderness as he said, “Don’t worry, the crown prince has settled the palace’s affairs, I have some words I want to say to you today!”
His heart thumped in his chest as he fearlessly looked at the hand that was holding his, different from his own. Her hands were calluses left behind by a sword, but this man’s hands were much cleaner and softer than hers.
The two of them sat in the carriage. Although Fang Donqing’s carriage could not be compared to that of the crown prince’s residence, it was still clean and tidy. The two of them sat in the carriage, and although Fang Donqing’s carriage could not be compared to that of the crown prince’s residence, it was still clean and tidy.
He took the cup and drank it all. Although his actions weren’t particularly crude, he was still a lot more generous than most women, so after drinking a cup of water, he was still thirsty. He felt embarrassed to open his mouth, but Fang Donqing did not look down on him at all as he poured another cup of water for Dreadless. After drinking another cup of water, his face turned red and he quickly said, “What do you want to say?” I have to go back as soon as possible! ”
Fang Donghan laughed, and then, under Fearless’ increasingly red face, he said, “Fearless! I love you!”
Although she had already guessed it beforehand, Dreadless was still rather surprised when Fang Donqing mentioned it. Even though the two of them had been in contact a lot these days with a feeling of unspoken affection, the two of them did not point it out. Since Dreadless knew that she should be loyal to the crown prince, and she had never thought of marrying anyone else in order to serve the crown prince, even if Fang Donqing was different in her heart but did not show it, he had always been suppressing his feelings.
“Lord Erlang Zhong!” She really felt at a loss right now. She wanted to find the crown prince, as long as she was by his side, she would feel at ease. The crown prince always gave her the most calm feeling.
“Call me Dong Qing!” Dauntless, you also have feelings for me, right? “Don’t lie to me, and don’t lie to yourself!” Fang Donqing held onto Dauntless’s hand, an excited look on his face. “Can we be together?”
Fearless didn’t say anything. Right now, she was flustered and didn’t know how to reply. She looked at Fang Donqing in disbelief, only to find that Fang Donqing’s face was filled with pain and guilt. When Fearless revealed that the carriage had left the capital, she wanted to jump down from the carriage, but her weak body was completely out of control and her eyes were growing dimmer and dimmer. Even though she had used a dagger to cut her own arm, she still fainted.
Fang Donqing looked at the fearless face that was lying on the ground as he held onto it painfully. He could not help but say, “I’m sorry! “I’m sorry!”

When Shang had no intention to enter the dungeon, the officials in the cell all came to the side of the cell and shouted at Shang, “The crown prince has no sense of virtue. He is loyal! This is the disaster of Shang!”
“Crown Prince, you are wrongly accused! How can you wrongly accuse this official of being loyal?!”
“I want to see His Majesty! I want to see the Emperor! ”
With his ears filled with all kinds of voices, Sang Bian frowned. Ringel took a chair and placed it on the clean corridor. He could see the court officials in the cells one by one. After a night of being held captive and feeling helpless, these court officials were a bit frustrated. Usually, they were fawned upon and served by others. Now that they had been imprisoned here for an entire night without any news or help from their subordinates, coupled with the fact that the Blood Shang Army did not utter a single word, they were somewhat afraid.
Shang Wuxin’s face was gloomy, his whole body exuding a frightful cold aura. He swept a glance at the chattering court officials, and under the Crown Prince’s gaze, all of them felt as if their throats had been pinched.
“Do you think I have wronged you?” He was obviously just sitting on a simple chair dressed in bright yellow Crown Prince Palace garb, and even though she looked tiny and pitiful on the big chair, but once you saw her eyes, you would unconsciously be afraid, because those eyes were as black as hell with the gates of hell closed.
“What a pity. So many corpses were burned last night. Otherwise, I would have let you all have a look!” Then, he nodded at Lin Jia Er. Lin Jia Er waved his hand and saw that each of the Blood Sang Army soldiers had thrown a piece of paper into the cell.
When the officials picked up the papers and saw the names of the people on them, they broke out in a cold sweat because the names of the people on top were all spies that they had planted in the palace. However, they were found by the crown prince one by one.
“Crown Prince …” An official knelt down in fear. At this moment, he realized he was afraid. The trump card he was relying on was known to the crown prince. Although they were all followers of the Duke of Qing, they knew that the Duke of Qing would not risk their lives for them.
Shang Wuxin watched the officials kneel down one after another with a smile on his face, listening to them speak, “Crown Prince, it is this old man who is confused. Please give this old man a chance, this old man will definitely accomplish great deeds to atone for his sins, this old man’s subordinate will definitely become the Crown Prince’s subordinate!”
“Hahahaha!” Shang laughed arrogantly, “What a pity that all your subordinates have turned to ashes!”
He stood up, and amidst a group of pleading voices, he ordered, “Take care of them!” She could not secretly deal with these officials. She had to do it openly.
Walking out of the prison and looking at the midday sun, Shang Wuxin suddenly felt dizzy. A night without sleep and without meals, Shang Wuxin’s complexion was pale, at this moment a broad chest embraced him.
