The Captivating Crown Prince

Chapter 85



Chapter 85

At the center of the ship, in the middle of the ship sat the most powerful man. One was the Crown Prince Shang Wuxin, the other was the Lord Qian, Nangong Qian, the third prince Shang Chengying, and the second prince Shang Nan.

They were all extremely outstanding men. The other women on the boat would occasionally sneak glances at the men. Undoubtedly, the Crown Prince and the King Qian were the most outstanding. And among the men sitting at this table was a woman, Han Xuanhao. In front of outsiders, Han Xuanhao was a prostitute.

“Prince, have a taste!” Han Xuanhao peeled a piece of fruit and placed it next to Shang Wuxin’s mouth. The man who was serving him was extremely attentive, and he noticed that Nangong Qian was frowning nonstop. He now knew how annoying this woman was, and he had no idea how Prince Shang was going to put up with it.

Shang Wuxin took the fruit from Han Xuanhao’s hands and stuffed it into Han Xuanhao’s mouth, her movements rude but her tone gentle. “Look at you, all I know is that you don’t even take care of yourself anymore!”

Han Xuanhao almost choked on the fruit in his mouth. His mouth, which had been lifted into a corner, was even more convulsive.

“The Crown Prince is so nice to the ladies next to him. Look, how many ladies are there in the capital?” As Shang Chengying spoke, he glanced at the women who had come to participate. Sure enough, he saw many women looking at Han Xuanhao angrily. However, Han Xuanhao had never been a reserved master. When he saw the jealous gazes of so many women, he arrogantly stared at the crowd as they wrapped their arms around the crown prince.

“Don’t tell me that I will be pampered if I don’t go over and allow others to pamper me?” Shang Wuxin said carelessly, as if hinting something.

Shang Chengying knew that his royal brother was not a simple person and did not want to say anything. At the same time, Shang Wuxin was writing on the left palm of Han Xuanhao’s hand under the table, and writing on Nangong Qian’s hand with his right hand.

What was written for Han Xuanhao was “delay”, while what was written for Nangong Qian was “ambush”. The two of them were one in ten thousand, so how could they not understand each other? Han Xuanhao glanced at Nangong Qian and nodded his head towards the sky. It was obvious that his intention was to cooperate with Nangong Qian.

Shang had no intention of using the toilet as an excuse to leave the upper part of the boat, arriving at a clean room under the boat. Dauntless had been waiting there for a long time, and the Crown Prince had just given her a hand signal to wait here.

“How long does it take?” Shang Wuxin rubbed the jade pendant in his hand repeatedly, his tone becoming serious, and his aura became more austere. She did not expect that someone would dare to make a move today. However, only by doing so today would she be able to kill two birds with one stone.

“Two hours!” Fearless told them the best time. Although the Crown Prince’s men were in the capital, they needed time and manoeuvre to move around in the remote mountains. More importantly, they needed to protect the safety of the Crown Prince.

“Mm, then we’ll arrange everything in two hours!” As Shang Wuxin spoke, he approached Fearless and whispered something into his ear. Fearless was shocked from his disapproval at first, but then he calmed down, and his emotions quickly calmed down.

“The Crown Prince must protect himself!” Fearless said after some thought, even though she had already overstepped her limits.

A hint of warmth appeared in Shang Wuxin’s eyes, and he patted his fearless shoulder, “You have to be careful as well, I can lose but I can’t die!” If you lose, I can give you face. If I die, I won’t collect your corpses!

Although it was an extremely unpleasant speech, Dauntless felt that it was more heartwarming than anything else. He nodded his head and silently dived into the lake. Shang Wuxin walked out to stand at an unremarkable spot on the boat, gazing at the scenery of the lake. Even if there were guards who saw it, they did not dare to step forward to disturb it.

“Crown Prince, why haven’t you returned yet?” Shang Nanhai said with a smile and a tone that seemed to be mixed with concern, and his eyes were also clean enough. Even many ministers in the imperial court thought that the Second Prince and his mufei had the same personality. However, Han Xuanhao knew that Nangong Qian knew that only a single person could be this terrifying because they had hidden their talents too deeply.

Han Xuanhao looked at Shang Hai and said in a dissatisfied tone, “What the Second Prince said, the Crown Prince can go as long as he wants!” Could it be that if the Crown Prince wanted to go to the washroom, he would have to be kept under control? “Hmph!”

Shang Nan was not satisfied with this Lady Han’s lack of courtesy, but thinking about how the Crown Prince protected her just now, she suppressed the anger in her heart. He hadn’t been able to tell what was wrong with this girl. Perhaps she was beautiful, but was the crown prince really a person with a heavy complexion?

Before he saw the crown prince, Shang Chengying heard from the guards that the crown prince was on the other side of the boat watching the scenery and was preparing to send someone to invite him, but at this moment, Han Xuanhao stood up and said, “The crown prince has a bad temper. If you disturb the mood of the crown prince and watch out for your lives, then let me invite you!” “Who asked the Crown Prince to doted on me!” After saying that, he gave Nangong Qian a look, causing his aura to be off, which made the ladies who adored the Qian King jump in fright.

By the time Han Xuanhao returned with the crown prince’s arm in arm, more than half an hour had passed. Nangong Qian had not spoken since the crown prince had left.

“Why has the crown prince been gone for so long?” Shang Nanhai joked.

Shang Wuxin nodded and pushed the slime bug beside him into his seat, then said, “Beauty’s beauty has momentarily forgotten the time!”

Regardless of whether a woman being looked upon as a concubine by a man was a way out, or a man being looked upon as a concubine by a man being looked upon as a concubine by the princes as a noble or noble, so each time a gathering was attended by these things, the more they watched, the more they became numb to it.

“You just watch whatever happens later, understand?” Shang Wuxin used a teacup to cover the corner of her mouth as she spoke to Han Xuanhao beside her. Otherwise, she was truly afraid that Han Xuanhao would reveal her presence.

On one hand, he wanted the Crown Prince to accept him as a man, and on the other hand, he sincerely wanted to protect the Crown Prince. But now, he realized that the imperial court was even worse than the martial arts world, and the young man he liked had stayed here for so many years.

“What kind of secret conversation is the Crown Prince having with this sister?” A woman put down her zither and came to the table to pay her respects to the princes. Although her words were a bit over the top, her unworldly appearance made the crowd feel more relaxed and more favorable towards her.

Shang Wuxin could tell with a glance that this person was the young lady of the Leng Residence, Leng Qing.

Leng Zi saw his cousin standing there and seemed to be teasing the crown prince. These days, he understood the temperament of the crown prince, and if the crown prince was unhappy with her words, he would probably show her. As Leng Zi thought this, he looked towards the crown prince only to see the crown prince behaving intimately with the woman in red beside him, and he didn’t know why he felt even more uncomfortable.

Shang Wuxin did not want to bother with this lady, but Shang Chengying replied, “Sister Leng’s words are incorrect, the crown prince is very fond of this lady!” Although he was only a young lady in the Leng Residence, his position in the Residence of Leng was not bad. Furthermore, a cold general had been appointed to the Leng Residence, and many people would give him face, just like how few people in the capital would find fault with him. The Leng Residence was relying on the authority and prestige of Leng Yufeng.

“I remember that the Crown Prince also brought a veiled woman with him to the First Prince’s manor. Later on, I found out that the woman was actually the Nangong Imperial Fifth Princess!” “I wonder who is prettier between this sister and the Fifth Princess?” Leng Than seemed to be full of worship.

Hearing Leng Wuxin’s provocation, Shang Wuxin did not say anything. … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … However, Han Xuanhao was not happy. He knew that the crown prince’s residence belonged to the Fifth Princess, and he also knew that the fifth princess had a good relationship with the crown prince. The crown prince was also very fond of her, but now this woman actually dared to provoke Han Xuanhao.

“In the eyes of the Crown Prince, the Fifth Princess and I are certainly the most beautiful!” “The Fifth Princess is the guest of the Crown Prince, and I am his person!” As he spoke, he threw a flirtatious glance at the Crown Prince, “However, you won’t be able to catch the eyes of the Crown Prince anyway. You’re too ugly!” “Even I can’t watch this any longer!”

After that, he turned to look at Leng Zi, who was standing there. However, no matter what sort of atmosphere he had suffered, he was only looking at Leng Ning worriedly. Leng Than’s heart tightened as he felt that something had changed.

No one was willing to help him, and some of the young ladies of influential families even mocked him from behind. A woman dared to go up to the Crown Prince and the other princes, but many of them didn’t like her. A lot of them thought that she was a beauty, so she actually laughed and said, “That Fifth Princess is not a beauty. She is much uglier than my daughter. That’s why she has to wear a veil, don’t you know?”

Han Xuanhao was not angry, but he knew that there were people who were unhappy. Although Nangong Qian was cold, he was sincere towards his sister. Han Xuanhao knew that no one in the Nangong Kingdom had ever said anything about his sister losing her looks in front of Nangong Qian.

Just as Shang Wuxin was displeased with Nangong Qian, many people dressed in black and carrying large sabers jumped out of the lake below the boat. They attempted to assassinate the most important people sitting there without any explanation.

The man in black was divided into two factions to attack the crown prince, while the faction actually attacked the third prince, Shang Chengying. As for the others, they would not kill the innocent if they didn’t do anything. However, the black clothed men’s kung fu was not bad, and the boat was small. For a time, the swords fought wantonly in the boat.

Han Xuanhao and Nangong Qian approached Prince Shang. Nangong Qian was prepared to kill those black-clothed men without even taking out his weapon, but Prince Shang grabbed his left hand from beside him. The feeling of softness almost made Nangong Qian stupid, but at this moment, he discovered that something was wrong, these black-clothed men seemed to be assassinating Prince Shang. His methods were vicious, but he discovered that this person did not have any killing intent towards Prince Shang. More importantly, even though these men in black were concealing it well, the worship of Prince Shang in their eyes was not faked.

From afar, he saw his master being surrounded and about to kill, but a masked man in black was being held back, and this man in black lowered his voice, “Idiot, your prince will be fine!” … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …

Hearing the familiar voice of the woman gave a fright in the distance. Looking at this woman carefully, the man in black understood that this was probably a trap. Thus, he feigned to fight with the man in black, but they did not harm each other.

Han Xuanhao was protected by Shang Wuxin, after all, he could not expose his martial arts skills. At this time, a man in black was desperately attacking the crown prince, and although Han Xuanhao and Nangong Qian knew that the crown prince was acting, they were still worried. After all, the ambush was real.

Shang Wuxin whispered something into Han Xuanhao’s ear. Although Han Xuanhao was unhappy, he still nodded his head to show that he understood. He knew that he liked not only a man but also a crown prince. She had her own plans and schemes, and he could not be willful.

The man in black arrived at the crown prince’s side and stabbed his sword at the crown prince’s chest. This scene caused many people to scream out loud. Not too far away, Leng Tenderun’s heart was filled with excitement. If the crown prince died, Big Brother Huan would definitely see his good points, and not everything that Big Brother Huan was doing now revolved around the crown prince.

Leng Zi saw that the crown prince seemed to be in danger, but she didn’t know why his martial arts skills were so inferior compared to that day. Leng Zi thought that the crown prince had to protect the girl beside him to keep his hands and feet in check, and now that he was cold, he felt even more disgusted with this Lady Han.

Even though Leng Zi’s kung fu was not good, as the guard of the crown prince, he needed to protect the crown prince. When Leng Zi was about to go and protect the crown prince, Leng Jingtian screamed in terror as if he was about to fall down and shouted at Leng Zi, “Cousin!”

At first, Leng Zi was preparing to help the Crown Prince, but she suddenly jumped to his side, supporting him up while defending those men in black clothing. However, she did not see the proud smile on Leng Tian’s face, nor did she see the disdain and anger in the eyes of the man in black clothing.

At the same time, the man in black arrived at the crown prince’s side. He stabbed the sword into the crown prince’s chest. The crown prince, in order to protect the girl beside him, unexpectedly got stabbed in the chest by the man in black, causing him to fall into the lake.

He felt a chill run down his spine. However, just as he was about to jump down, he smelled the blood that had spattered on the crown prince’s chest. It smelled wrong, and it was sour and sweet. When he thought about Han Xuanhao, he feigned fear as he stared at the “Crown Prince” in the lake. This voice made many people even more afraid.

When Nangong Qian saw that the crown prince was stabbed, he was also shocked. Even though he clearly knew that this was a show, he was still worried, but he did not even think about jumping into the lake. The lake water flowed rapidly as Nangong Qian continued to search for traces of the crown prince.

When the people on the boat saw the crown prince fall into the lake, some of the guards jumped down while others stayed behind to protect the remaining people. The Third Prince was protected by his guards. He had done all this during the banquet, but such a thing had happened. Shang Chengying could already imagine how miserable his future would be. He could not escape the fate of the Crown Prince, whether he was alive or dead.

At this moment, a trembling woman was standing beside Shang Chengying, and this woman was looking at Han Xuanhao, who was also shivering. At the same time she received Han Xuanhao’s gaze, she was also accidentally afraid to rush into Shang Chengying’s embrace, knocking him out of the circle of protection.

If Shang Chengying had been in the circle of guards, there would have been no problem. After all, the guards on the boat were his men, and he was the one protecting them. But Shang Chengying had only managed to resist a few times before his throat was slit by a man in black.

After assassinating Shang Chengying, the man in black retreated the moment the guard fought back with all his might. The boat instantly quieted down, leaving behind only sobbing.

The Second Prince Shang and the South Sea looked at the three royal brothers lying there with doubt in his heart. No, this is not right. How could this be? What went wrong?

However, regardless of how doubtful the Second Prince Shang Nanhai was, he still painfully ran to Shang Chengying’s side and cried out, “Third Imperial Brother!” Then, he immediately ordered, “Quickly get to the shore and find the Imperial Physician. Send people to search for the crown prince and the King of Qian. We must find them!”

Han Xuanhao mocked the second prince and the crying and terrified ladies in the surroundings. He thought to himself that he should hurry back to the residence and wait for the crown prince. Today, he was scared that the crown prince would compensate him, but what was the compensation for him?

At this moment, Leng Zi’s arm was being tugged at by Leng Tiantian in fear, but Leng Zi was panicking. He could only watch as the crown prince fell into the lake and watched the modest king save the crown prince, but he could do nothing to save him. The more Leng Zi thought about it, the more upset he felt. He was about to go into the water to find the Crown Prince, but he was scared. “Cousin, don’t leave, I’m scared!” he said.

Leng Zi’s heart was filled with pity, but she was still worried that the crown prince would drink more and try to pull away her cousin’s hand, but the cold and tranquil state became even tighter and she fainted in fear. Seeing Leng Tian faint, Leng Zi felt a wave of fear as she picked up the cold and was about to go find a doctor.

Han Xuanhao smiled coldly in his heart as he looked at Leng Zi.
