The Captivating Crown Prince

Chapter 148



At this moment, the best rooms in the tavern were Shang Wuxin, Han Xuanhao, and all of the injured Blood Sang Army. Those who were not injured or lightly injured, however, had long since returned the corpses of their brothers to the training grounds.

When the corpses of the Blood Shang Army soldiers were sent back to the village behind the training grounds, the family members of the Blood Sang Army cried bitterly, but no one complained. Instead, these widows felt proud of the Blood Sang Army’s death. When Fearless carried out the crown prince’s order, the Blood Sang Army became even more convinced. The families of the deceased Blood Sang Army received a pension and a lot of help. The children that they left behind were treated well.

Shang Tong did not need to report about the training ground, he knew the consequences even without reporting. Although these people were his subordinates, they still needed to attract people’s attention. She did not only need their loyalty, they also needed their hard work.

The next day, Shang felt that something was not right. The arm around his waist, the chest against which he leaned, the body temperature under the blanket, and the mind that was originally still muddled … all of a sudden, Han Xuanhao who was lying beside him, suddenly woke up with a complicated look on his face.

He was well aware of how cautious he was. He would wake up if Shang didn’t make any noise at night, and she didn’t feel the slightest bit of being drugged. Yet, under such circumstances, he was able to sleep so peacefully beside Han Xuanhao without having any nightmares or waking up in the middle of the night.

Perhaps in his subconscious, Shang Bin had already started to trust and get used to the cold Xuan Hao, he still remembered that it was very safe to sleep with Nangong Qian that day, could it be?

“Why don’t you sleep more?” Han Xuanhao had actually woken up long ago. In fact, he hadn’t slept at all after climbing onto the crown prince’s bed in the middle of the night to watch the crown prince sleep. However, he was pleasantly surprised to learn that the crown prince had gotten used to him.

Shang Wuxin’s sharp eyes looked at the Han Xuanhao beside her. Han Xuanhao was actually bare-chested, his sword-like eyebrows slanted into his temples, but his deep black eyes were filled with warmth. An arrogant and devilish aura filled the air.

“Crawl?” Just as Shang Wuxin was about to make her move, Han Xuanhao grabbed her. The two of them were lying face to face on the bed. Shang Wuxin could even feel Han Xuanhao’s warm breath and the drumbeat of his heartbeat.

“You’re still severely injured and you’ve been messed up!” Han Xuanhao said seriously, “Isn’t your subordinates in the crown prince’s residence injured as well? They’re not in the room and I’m really worried about them. Besides, if you don’t agree, can I climb up there?” As he spoke, Han Xuanhao felt proud. He had once been alerted by Prince Shang when he got close to him. Now that both of them were sharing a bed and sleeping soundly, Han Xuanhao felt more hopeful.

“Are you proud of yourself?” Shang Wuxin laid on Han Xuanhao’s chest and took a bite. However, when he took a bite on Han Xuanhao’s chest, he froze. When had she become so irrational and childish? Was she still acting like this?

Han Xuan Hao looked like he was letting Prince Shang pick the fruit, but then he realized something was wrong and asked, “But my chest is too hard, is it a bit too much for your teeth?” As he spoke, he prepared to take a look. Although he looked soft on the outside, he was a man so how could he be as soft as a woman.

“I’m fine!” Shang Wuxin laid on Han Xuanhao’s chest, deep in thought about his own change. Han Xuanhao did not disturb them, and they lay there for a long time. Shang Tong had already thought it through after half a day. Even if she was out of her control on how to avoid some things, she still liked Han Xuanhao. More importantly, Han Xuanhao had learned to rely on others, so it all depended on how long the liking could last.

Han Xuanhao clearly realized that Prince Shang, who was lying on his chest a moment ago, was still somewhat distant from him. The distance between the two of them seemed to have dissipated quite a bit. Although he didn’t know what was going on with Prince Shang, Han Xuanhao was pleasantly surprised by the change.

Han Xuanhao took some clothes and helped Shang to put them on. One had to admit that after so many contacts, Han Xuanhao could take care of Shang’s everyday life more easily than Dauntless could.

“Have you found out what happened yesterday?” Shang Wuxin originally wanted Han Xuan Hao to investigate, but he managed to capture her yesterday. At that time, Shang Wuxin knew that since he needed to rest, he could go with him, and now that he has thought about it, he considered Han Xuan Hao to be half his own man. Thus, he was not polite at all. Shang had no intention to use him as a precaution against outsiders; he was extremely protective of Han Xuanhao. After all that Han Xuanhao had done, Shang had decided to treat Han Xuanhao as one of his own, and this man was not his subordinate but his own man.

Even his body had a murderous intent to it, “Yesterday’s assassins consisted of two parts, one of them belonged to the Third Marquis of the Nangong Country, the other belonged to the Crown Prince of the Qing Nation, Qing Kui!”

“You don’t need to do anything!” However, there were too many forces involved in killing a person in the imperial court that could not be moved, even if he had killed a few of his royal brothers before. Moreover, he now had thoughts for Han Xuanhao, and Shang did not want Han Xuanhao’s forces to involve Han Xuanhao in any way, so this man should be able to live as long as he wanted.

“Sooner or later, I will need to clean up the country! “Collect all the evidence and keep them. This debt must be repaid!” The crown prince of a country had a reputation for virtue, but he still had to achieve meritorious deeds for his woman’s future. He had never thought of which country to start from, but now, Qing Kui had given him a good reason and excuse.

“Good!” “If there is anything that you need me to do …”

“I won’t be polite!”

As the two of them were having their meal, Shang Xin noticed that there was no fear. He then instructed Wu Dai, “Those who are severely injured, stay here and rest. If you can leave tomorrow, prepare to return to the Capital City!” At this moment, the situation in the capital was not looking good. She had to go back.

Since Shang was injured, he stayed in the room all day, and Han Xuanhao was naturally by his side.

Nangong Qian was surprised to see the news from Han Xuanhao. No matter what, the two of them were rivals in love. Although they both knew each other, they rarely contacted each other. When Nangong Qian opened the message, his entire body was filled with a gloomy aura as if he had just crawled out from hell. His sharp eyes were filled with a faint cold light and his expression was terrifyingly gloomy.

Nangong Qian did not expect Nangong Wen and Qing Kui to be so bold. He blamed himself and was angry at the same time. The news that came from Han Xuan Hao mentioned Prince Shang’s serious injuries, and also ridiculed Nangong Qian’s unhappiness that he had no one escort him. Even though Nangong Qian was unhappy with Han Xuan Hao, he still had to admit that Han Xuan Hao was right. If Han Xuan Hao hadn’t arrived, Nangong Qian felt that his intestines would have turned green from regret.

As for the matter of giving Nangong Qian the information, Han Xuanhao felt that it was natural for him to not make a move because of the Crown Prince’s concern for him, but no matter what, he could not let the two of them get away with it. Therefore, Han Xuanhao treated Nangong Qian as a big spendthrift, and even if Nangong Qian met with the matter of Crown Prince Shang, Han Xuanhao would not let things slide, even if he knew that Han Xuanhao had schemed against him.

“In the distance, has Qing Kui left Nangong?” Nangong Qian crushed the news in his hand.

“The Crown Prince of Qing and Princess Mu Yuan of Qing Country have already left Nangong Country. They are already on their way back to Qing Country!”

Nangong Qian thought for a moment before saying, “After leaving Nangong Country, he was disguised as a bandit. The crown prince, Qing Kui, was injured by the bandits and was shot several times. That royal princess will not move for now! ” If he did not know that Prince Shang was not bad to the Princess, Nangong Qian would not have bothered with him.

Then, Nangong Qian took out a paper and told the others to carry it out. By the time Nangong Qian was done, it was already late at night and time had already passed. At this moment, he really missed that night when Prince Shang came to deliver him supper. If Prince Shang was in the mansion now, he wondered if the two of them would sit together to eat something. But after not seeing him for so long, Nangong Qian started to miss him.

“Your Highness, are you ready to make your move?” The prince had been planning for so many years, but he hadn’t been able to make a move because of the lack of a good opportunity. But now, it seemed that someone was looking for trouble with Crown Prince Shang.

Just then, a voice came from outside, “Royal brother!” Royal brother, are you asleep? I know you haven’t slept, but can I come in? ”

When he heard Nangong Lian’s voice, Nangong Qian was shocked. After all, Nangong Lian was still living in the Crown Prince’s Palace. She had sent a message saying that she would not be returning home recently, but she did not expect to be back in the middle of the night.

Nangong Qian nodded towards the distance and immediately executed the orders.

Nangong Qian walked out of the study. Even though it was his own little sister, Nangong Qian did not allow Nangong Lian to enter the study easily. Naturally, there was only one person that he did not want to see. When he saw Nangong Lian standing in the courtyard, feeling somewhat wronged, Nangong Qian had a headache as he asked, “What’s wrong?”

Nangong Lian was wearing a Heavenly Water Jade dress, but it wasn’t a popular dress for noble ladies. It had a narrow sleeve, a belt as wide as a palm, and her hair was combed up with a gold ring. She didn’t look like an ordinary girl, but instead had an indescribable heroic aura to her.

“Damn fatty!” Stinking fatty! ” Nangong Lian cursed, “Royal brother, your sister is being looked down on!”

However, Lin Jia Er was extremely busy, and Nangong Lian would often not be able to find anyone else. Even if she found Lin Jia Er, Lin Jia Er would become very courteous and distant. Nangong Lian had pestered Lin Jia Er for a long time, but he had not been able to get a good expression.

However, even though Nangong Lian was angry at Lin Jia Er, she actually didn’t try to coax him into continuing to do what she wanted to do. After making such a ruckus, Nangong Lian knew that she liked Lin Jia Er.

“Princess Lian?” Recently, the crown prince had asked him to bring a portion of the Blood Solidified Army to carry out their mission. He had been very nervous and busy all day, and was preparing to rest, but he did not expect Nangong Lian to openly enter his room. It was fortunate that Lin Jia Er was a bandit, otherwise, he would not know how to react to Nangong Lian’s actions.

Nangong Lian walked directly in front of Lin Jia Er. Looking at the plump and plump man who had lost weight and lost his looks despite not being as handsome as her royal brothers, Nangong Lian’s heartbeat quickened but she still stubbornly asked, “Fatty, do you think I’m ugly?”

Lin Jia Er did not know why Nangong Lian would ask such a question. However, during this period of time, he could tell that Nangong Lian’s character was very carefree and free like a woman from the martial arts world. Thus, he only replied, “Not very ugly!” Lin Jia Er did not lie. Since Nangong Qian was so handsome, how could his sister be ugly? Not only was she beautiful, but her personality was also unique and captivating.

Nangong Lian felt a little reassured as she continued to ask, “Then, are the scars on my face terrifying?” Although Nangong Lian did not care anymore now, she still wanted to hear the truth from the man she liked. If Lin Jia Er thought that she had misjudged him, she would have been mistaken.

“No!” Ringel answered truthfully. He had never seen such a terrifying thing like this before, and this scar was nothing after all these years. It was just some people making a fuss over nothing.

“Do you like me?” Nangong Lian mustered up her courage to look at Lin Jia Er and took a few steps forward. She wanted an answer. If Lin Jia Er liked her, she would not give up even if Lin Jia Er was a bodyguard.

The sudden question from Nangong Lian made Lin Jia Er panic. Did he like Nangong Lian? It was something that he liked. He liked Nangong Lian’s carefree nature and her constantly quarreling days. He liked Nangong Lian occasionally doing something for him. However, when Lin Jia Er saw that Nangong Lian’s clothes were all ordinary, his heart turned cold. The person he liked was Nangong Lian. However, Nangong Lian was the princess of the Nangong Country, the younger sister that was doted on by King Qian. He was a subordinate of Crown Prince Shang. If he was involved with Nangong, it would be inconsistent with his loyalty.

Nangong Lian’s initial shyness slowly turned into nervousness. However, after waiting for a long time, she was unable to hear Lin Jia Er’s reply. She endured the sadness in her heart and asked, “Do you not like me?”

Lin Jia Er did not say anything. He did not want to lie to Nangong Lian and he could not speak the truth. The difference in their statuses was too great, it was impossible.

“Good!” Ringel, you are very good! This princess has been blinded! ” With that, Nangong Lian ran away. When Lin Jia Er found out that Nangong Lian was planning to return, he did not urge her to stay. He thought that it would be better this way.

After Nangong Lian ran out, she saw that Lin Jia Er did not chase after her and became even angrier. She packed up her things that very night and brought the guards left behind by her royal brother to rush to Nangong.
