The Unstoppable Sixth Prince

Chapter 51: The Gaze of One Who Wants to Kill Cannot Be Hidden

Returning home, Shen Luoyan felt increasingly that something was amiss.

After a moment of silent contemplation, Shen Luoyan knocked on Ye Zi's door.

At this moment, Ye Zi was just about to go to bed.

"You're going to pay respects to your grandfather and your brother early tomorrow morning. Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Ye Zi welcomed Shen Luoyan in, smiling as she inquired.

Shen Luoyan hesitated for a moment, then spoke up, "Sister-in-law, I always feel like there's something off between you and Yun Zheng..."

Hmm?

Has this girl noticed everything?

Ye Zi secretly harbored doubts and looked at Shen Luoyan with a teasing expression, "I say, you wouldn't be jealous seeing me stay at the Sixth Prince's residence all day, would you?"

"Jealous?"

Shen Luoyan jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, "What are you thinking? How could I possibly be jealous of that spineless shrimp?"

Although Ye Zi is Shen Luoyan's sister-in-law, their relationship is more like that of close friends.

In front of Ye Zi, Shen Luoyan spoke without any reservations.

"Soft-footed shrimp?"

Ye Zi was taken aback, then couldn't help but laugh, "Didn't you say he was a good-for-nothing?"

Shen Luoyan paused slightly, feeling frustrated, and said, "Now that his three battles against the Northern Huan's master have spread, with the master so enraged he spat blood, if I say he's a useless coward, even my mother would scold me..."

Even if Yun Zheng achieves nothing in the future, just based on his exploits in the three battles against the Northern Huan Kingdom, anyone who isn't deliberately belittling him will no longer call him a good-for-nothing.

Although Yun Zheng relied on luck, he had indeed achieved great merit.

Whoever says Yun Zheng is a good-for-nothing, others will directly retort, do you have such achievements? Are you even inferior to a good-for-nothing? How would you respond?

Ye Zi was momentarily speechless and then laughed softly, "In the words of His Sixth Highness, your awareness is quite commendable."

Shen Luoyan pouted and urged, "You still haven't answered my question!"

"This is nothing to answer!"

Ye Zi pursed her lips and smiled, "You're not jealous, so what should I answer?"

"I just feel that something is off about your relationship!" Shen Luoyan frowned and said, "Look at you, you now obey his every word; whatever he says, you just do it. If someone didn't know better, they might really think you've become his housekeeper!"

"What do you think I should do?"

Ye Zi 苦笑道："He is the sixth prince of the current dynasty. You are his wife; whether you mock him or go against him, that is your marital affair. But if I were to act like you, it would be disrespectful to the sixth prince."

"This..."

Shen Luoyan was speechless.

Sister-in-law's words seem to have no issues.

Seeing Shen Luoyan like this, Ye Zi couldn't help but shake her head in silence.

If it weren't for this girl's carefree personality and her lack of tact in speech, she really wanted to tell this silly girl that her husband was actually a man-eating tiger who wouldn't spit out bones.

Once she left the confines of the imperial city that bound her, she realized just how terrifying her husband truly was.

"In fact, His Highness the Sixth is quite a good person."

Ye Zi pulled Shen Luoyan's hand, "Look, although he is a prince, he doesn't have the airs of a prince, nor is he as overbearing as the other princes! Marrying a prince like this may not be a bad thing."

Shen Luoyan pouted and lightly huffed, "If it weren't for the Emperor's decree, I wouldn't want to marry this weakling who can't even hold a chicken!"

She practiced martial arts from a young age and enjoyed wielding swords and guns.

She wanted to marry a hero, someone like her father and two brothers.

"You!"

Ye Zi smiled helplessly, "In this world, having a bit of brute strength doesn't mean you're powerful! Sometimes, wisdom is far more important than sheer force."

"He has no wisdom either!"

Shen Luoyan rolled her eyes, "You don't really think that just because he won against the Master of Beihuan a few times by relying on what he saw in that ancient book, he has wisdom, do you?"

Ye Zi secretly smiled, lowering her brows in silence.

Seeing that her sister-in-law seemed to agree with her words, Shen Luoyan continued, "The only thing that currently impresses me about him is the patterned steel he has created..."

Speaking of that patterned steel, Shen Luoyan excitedly told her sister-in-law how incredibly powerful it was, even starting to imagine herself wielding an indestructible divine weapon, rampaging through the world.

When it came to the excitement, Shen Luoyan blurted out everything they had said in the blacksmith shop.

"You said he had you try that gun yourself... is it hard?"

Ye Zi's pretty face flushed red as she looked at the silly girl who was still in the dark with a strange expression.

"That's right!"

Shen Luoyan nodded slightly, then said with frustration, "I really should have tried it myself; who knows if that guard's sword had a problem from the start?"

"Cough cough..."

Ye Zi coughed lightly in embarrassment and tentatively asked, "Grandma wouldn't... have not told you about those matters between men and women, right?"

Before a woman from the Great Qian Dynasty got married, her mother or female elders in the family would talk to her about matters between men and women, so that she wouldn't be clueless on her wedding night.

"Why is Mother telling me all this?"

Shen Luoyan did not understand why.

Ye Zi, upon hearing this, was instantly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

After a moment of hesitation, Ye Zi leaned close to Shen Luoyan's ear and began to whisper.

I'm sorry, but it seems you haven't provided any source text to translate. Please provide the text you'd like me to translate, and I'll be happy to assist you!

The next day, Yun Zheng arrived at the Shen family early with two guards.

As soon as he arrived at the Shen family, he noticed that Shen Luoyan's gaze towards him was off.

The gaze of someone who wants to kill cannot be hidden.

He felt that Shen Luoyan just wanted to stab him now.

"What kind of wind is this girl blowing early in the morning?"

"Could it be that Aunt Flo has arrived?"

Yun Zheng was thinking somewhat wickedly in his heart.

The things that needed to be prepared on the Shen family's side have been readied, and after a bit of tidying up, the house servants and maids of the Shen residence have also gathered.

"Your Highness is not skilled at riding; it would be better to take a carriage!"

Upon reaching the door, Madam Shen invited Yun Zheng to get into the carriage.

After Yun Zheng's third battle against the Northern Huan Kingdom's master, Madam Shen's attitude towards Yun Zheng also began to soften.

Although it wasn't exactly warm, it was certainly much better than before.

"Not needed."

Yun Zheng waved his hand, "I will soon be heading to the northern frontier, practicing horseback riding a bit more isn't a bad thing."

"Your Highness is overthinking."

Madam Shen shook her head, "With the Prince's three victories over the Northern Huan's master, the Emperor wouldn't bear to let the Prince go to Shobei!"

Yun Zheng shook his head and said seriously, "As for my journey to the North, Father Emperor issued the imperial decree in front of all the officials! I understand the principle that a ruler's words are not to be taken lightly."

Madam Shen paused slightly, almost slapping him across the face.

This brainless thing that talks!

The Emperor has already granted him the right to privately recruit troops; hasn't he figured that out yet?

Did he publicly say that this was a matter decreed by the heavens?

Is he afraid that the millions of people in this imperial city don't know that the Emperor has issued a decree on this matter?

Madam Shen originally wanted to remind him, but with so many people around and the noise, she felt it was best not to say much. She could only let Yun Zheng ride his horse and called her daughter-in-law Ye Zi to ride in the carriage with her.

"You are now at the Sixth Prince's residence. Turn around and quietly remind him not to speak carelessly about the Emperor's decree sending him to the North..."

Inside the carriage, Madam Shen quietly instructed her daughter-in-law.

"Um, okay!"

Ye Zi nodded gently, but inwardly she was bitterly smiling.

Is this the ultimate move that Yun Zheng was talking about?

He wants everyone in the imperial city to know that the Emperor had previously issued an edict for him to go to the North

Then, using the whispers of the crowd to pressure the Emperor into heading north to Shuobei?

He's playing with fire!

He wasn't afraid that his father, the emperor, would give him a good beating after finding out about this!

This bastard is indeed cunning..
