The Imperial Palace had lost a Ning Fei, she had unexpectedly died of a sudden illness. This matter did not cause a ruckus, but because Ning Fei’s reputation had always been good, Emperor Shang had given up on his pursuit of her name.
The second prince had also died in the manor, but he had died on the body of a woman in his backyard. The reason for that was because he had died with all his might, causing many ministers to feel that they had seen the second prince wrong. Other people might not understand why the second prince would die, but Shang Wuxin knew that with the aphrodisiac and poison concocted by Ye Yizhe, the second prince could not avoid death. Before the death of Ning Fei and the second prince, he had been tortured to death by Ye Yizhe with a lot of poisons.
Shang Wuxin was satisfied with the outcome of the two men, as for Second Princess Shang, she was not in a hurry, and this was not the time to shed all pretense with Duke Qing. Shang Wuxin also spent a few days in the crown prince’s residence in peace, going to bed and taking care of some matters, and then talked about life with a few pretty men in the mansion. It seemed that she did not care about what happened that night, others could not tell, and Shang Wuxin did not understand herself.
“Crown Prince, the Emperor has summoned the Crown Prince into the palace!” Head Steward Hai looked at the crown prince sitting in her study, dealing with the folding documents, his old face full of worry. The crown prince hadn’t concealed anything from him, so he knew quite a bit about Ning Fei and the second prince’s scheme. When the emperor summoned her at this time, the twists and turns made him worry.
Shang Wuxin put down the paper in her hand and handed it to Wu Wei, “Send these to the training grounds, let Lin Jia Er decide!” As for Emperor Shang’s attitude towards this matter, Shang Wuxin did not mind it too much. Since they dared to do so, they had to bear her anger.
As soon as she went out of the crown prince’s mansion and was about to board the carriage, she saw that the residence beside the crown prince’s residence had been noisy. A flash passed through Shang Wuxin’s eyes, as the residence next to the crown prince’s residence had once been the residence of a minister. Shang Wuxin did not want to say anything else, only wanting to kill him.
His red robe was embroidered with purplish blue lace, and his long black hair was tied high up in a jade crown. His exquisite face had a hint of an embarrassed smile. A pair of deep eyes that were as black as ink seemed to be filled with gentle spring water. The gaze he used to look at the crown prince was filled with emotion.
“Ya, what a coincidence. I was just about to leave the mansion, so why did you leave as well? Sure enough, my luck is quite good!” Han Xuanhao said with a smile and threw a flirtatious glance at the crown prince. At first, he was in great pain when the crown prince chased him out of the crown prince’s mansion, but he, Han Xuanhao, had never been a person who would give up. Even if the crown prince didn’t allow him in, he wouldn’t disappear from the crown prince’s sight.
“Ha!” Shang Wuxin glanced at the residence without a plaque, “This is Xuanhao’s residence?” She knew that she would not be able to tear the candy herself, but what gave Shang Wuxin a headache was that she did not expect the candy to be so sticky.
“That’s right, I had saved up enough money to buy this mansion, but who would have thought that I would become neighbors with the Crown Prince. You can visit if you have nothing else to do in the future. That way, you will show how benevolent and he is!” Han Xuanhao didn’t have the slightest sense of shame, and his words were sincere.
Shang Wuxin did not shut her mouth. She realized that the nonsense she said to Han Xuanhao right now was to find a way to block her path. She let go of the carriage and left the crown prince’s residence. Standing there, Han Xuanhao looked at the carriage and spoke with a gentle yet strange voice. “Xin Er, you won’t be able to get rid of me!”
