The Captivating Crown Prince

(50) The Emperor Is Angry

Everyone only saw Young Noble Huan supporting General Leng, while the Crown Prince stood up and looked at General Leng with worry in his eyes.

Under everyone’s scrutinizing gaze, Shang Wuxin came to Leng Yufeng’s side to support him. However, the hand supporting Leng Yufeng’s shoulders felt moist. Shang Wuxin lowered his head to see that her white palm had been dyed red.

Shang Wuxin looked at Leng Yufeng, whom she did not understand at all. Leng Yufeng’s expression was still cold. At this point of time, Shang Wuxin did not understand this Leng Yufeng, who was sometimes as cold as a big boy.

Due to her impatience with the boring dinner, Shang Wuxin wanted to leave. However, as the crown prince, she did not have a good reason to be arrogant enough to leave, so she set her sights on Leng Yufeng. She knew that Leng Yufeng’s injuries weren’t serious, but he could use it as an excuse.

Furthermore, he could open up some things … However, she did not expect Leng Yufeng to use his internal force to break his wounds, which were already unscabbed.

Everyone was originally paying attention to the people above, but when they saw the blood on the crown prince’s hand, they were all shocked. Even Emperor Shang, who was sitting on the throne, stood up and asked, “What happened to General Leng? He’s injured?”

Shang Wuxin slightly lowered her blood-stained hand, withdrawing her hand to speak to Emperor Shang, “I was assassinated on the way back to the capital. I was unwell and was protected by General Leng and Young Noble Huan, but General Leng has been injured!”

Shang Wuxin wanted everyone to know that he had been assassinated. No matter what, she had always held the position of the crown prince, and those present were no fools. Anyone who dared to assassinate the crown prince could only think about it, not to mention the countless times since ancient times when the brothers in the palace had been slaughtering each other.

“This subject is fine!” Leng Yufeng stood up and said, “The Crown Prince is always under assassination. It is my responsibility to protect him!”

Emperor Shang looked at Leng Yufeng, whose eyes shone brightly, which made Leng Yufeng feel strange. Shang Wuxin nodded to Emperor Shang and said, “General Leng is injured because of me, I will take General Leng to leave first!”

As he said this, Shang Wuxin brought Leng Yufeng out of the hall. Of course, Huan Mubai took responsibility for helping others. In a short moment, the three most important people at the banquet had left.

As the three left the palace, Emperor Shang glanced at his sons and laughed, “Assassinate them?” The princes felt a chill run through their bodies at the same time, but at this moment, the powerful Duke Qing stepped forward.

“This bandit is too arrogant. He actually dared to assassinate the current crown prince! They doesn’t even put His Majesty in his eyes!” Duke Qing was a man in his fifties. He was dressed in black official robes that made him barely stand up straight, but the bloody scent in his eyes was too strong.

Emperor Shang’s eyes, which had been filled with anger, became sharp in an instant, but he did not pursue the matter. Everyone could not understand what was going on, but Eunuch Xu, who was standing beside Emperor Shang, understood that the emperor was also plagued by hardships.

Shang Wuxin, Leng Yufeng, and Huan Moche left the palace in their carriages. The sound of the wheels of the carriages could be heard clearly in the silence.

“Why?” Shang Wuxin took out the medicine and necessary items from the carriage, and asked Leng Yufeng, who had left the palace silently. However, even if the person was injured for his sake, Shang Wuxin was not the least bit guilty, nor was she flattered.

Leng Yufeng looked at the crown prince, who was sitting opposite him. He seemed to have returned back to the time when he had first met the astonishingly talented youth, when the crown prince’s eyes were as clear as the clouds. His eyes were clear and watery, but they also seemed like a dense fog that would not dissipate over the years. Now he could no longer look at the Crown Prince like he had before, because there were too many things hidden in his heart that he could not tell.

“If the crown prince wants to leave the palace banquet, he needs to let everyone know of the princes’ ambitions!” It seemed that after meeting the crown prince, he had learned how to explain things to this young man. Even though there were many times when he didn’t need to explain himself. After knowing the purpose of the crown prince, he had directly injured himself. He knew that if he tried to pretend to be uncomfortable, the effect wouldn't be too bad.

Shang Wuxin did not say any words of thanks, but looked at Leng Yufeng’s clothes.

A red flush appeared on his neck as he thought of the scene when the crown prince had bandaged him that day, and his heart rippled. After that, he recalled the scene from back then more than once, but he didn’t expect it to be like this again ….

Seeing the two of them, Huan Moche felt his heart clench. He tried his best to smile and said, “I still have matters to attend to, so I’ll be taking my leave first!” With that, he lifted the curtain and flew out of the carriage. He was afraid that if he stayed here any longer, he would do something irreparable. He didn’t understand why he had allowed the crown prince to ignore him.

Shang Wuxin did not care at all about the sudden outburst of Huan Mo Che. To Shang Wuxin, if it wasn’t for the fact that Huan Mo Che had always helped her, she would have killed Huan Moche just by relying on those eyes. Since she couldn’t kill him now, she had to ignore him.

However, Leng Yufeng knew what was going on with his good friend. He was simply jealous.

“Take it off!” Although she did not want to admit that Leng Yufeng had helped her, but she could not deny that he had indeed helped her.

Leng Yufeng reddened his neck and took off his outer robe and jacket.

She had already admired Leng Yufeng’s good figure once, but now she had no choice but to praise the man. After all, a man like Leng Yufeng looked really pleasing to the eyes.

Shang Wuxin bandaged Leng Yufeng’s wounds and applied medicine to the wounds. Two of them could not avoid getting closer. Shang Wuxin did not feel anything, but Leng Yufeng carefully and stealthily kept that feeling in his heart.

After dressing Leng Yufeng, Shang Wuxin looked at Leng Yufeng and said, “General Leng, it’s time to return home!” She was already out of the palace, and she liked the idea of destroying a bridge after crossing the river.

With regards to the shameless actions of the crown prince, Leng Yufeng, who was slowly approaching the loyal dog road, did not show the slightest bit of displeasure. After nodding his head, he got off the carriage, but he fearlessly walked back into the carriage and handed the Crown Prince a clean handkerchief.
