There was no one else in the huge bedroom except her and Xie Ming. As soon as Xie Ming said this, the atmosphere instantly froze to freezing point, and there was no other sound except the sound of light and heavy breathing.

Deathly silence enveloped the entire bedroom, and Shen Chu even felt that breathing had become a little difficult.

Because Xie Ming's eyes were a little scary.

She didn't dare to look directly at Xie Ming, fearing that he would see the panic in his eyes. She could only look away and pretend not to care. "Why do you ask that? Why did I flee the capital?"

Xie Ming slowly squatted down, raised his hand and straightened Shen Chu's turned away face, so that Shen Chu only saw him. His face seemed calm, but only he knew what kind of turbulent waves were hidden under this calmness.

"Chu'er knows this best, doesn't he?"

If Shen Chu's scalp was just tingling just now, now her hair was standing on end.

She didn't know what Xie Ming meant by this. Forced to look into his eyes, Shen Chu blinked slowly, still trying to get away with it, "Your Highness, you don't believe me."

Shen Chu was totally wrong to think that Xie Ming would give in a little.

Instead of giving in, Xie Ming moved even closer. He sat on the edge of the bed with his upper body getting closer to Shen Chu, so close that Shen Chu could clearly see the teardrop mole at the corner of his eye.

"Give me a reason to believe it, and look at me."

The small air flow caused by his words hit Shen Chu's cheek, making her face slightly itchy. So Shen Chu did not answer Xie Ming immediately, but leaned back. In Xie Ming's eyes, this was the best evidence that Shen Chu did not want to answer him and wanted to avoid him.

Xie Ming's eyes were dark and unclear. He suddenly reached out and grabbed Shen Chu's shoulders. His movements were quick, but he restrained the strength in his hands, so Shen Chu didn't feel anything.

So she just blinked, not quite understanding what Xie Ming meant.

"What's the matter..."

Shen Chu was pulled into Xie Ming's arms, and her words were interrupted by this sudden embrace. She was still a little confused as Xie Ming held her tightly.

"It's okay if you don't tell me, but you can't go back to the Shangshu Mansion."

He took a step back on his own initiative, trying to provide a way out for Shen Chu.

But Shen Chu didn't go down the stairs. Instead, she asked him, "His Highness is about to appoint a Crown Princess. Am I supposed to be his concubine?"

Her tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and she was not afraid of angering Xie Ming at all.

"Have you heard those rumors too?"

Shen Chu stared at him. "It seems that His Highness knows about this himself. Since His Highness knows about this and hasn't dealt with the person who spread the rumor, this must be true, right?"

"No, there have been rumors about the appointment of a concubine for a long time. Your Highness, you haven't already appointed one, have you? I'm so guilty, I've overstepped my bounds. Your Highness already has a Crown Princess, and I just let Your Highness hold me. I hope the Crown Princess won't be angry if she knows this."

She said this very quickly, and then she broke free from Xie Ming's embrace and made a move to get up, but was pushed back by Xie Ming.

She looked at Xie Ming with innocence in her eyes, as if to say: You are the one who held me, it has nothing to do with me.

Xie Ming's expression, which had originally been grim, improved somewhat after hearing Shen Chu's words. Even his eyes were a little gentler. He said firmly, "You are angry."

"how is this possible?"

What is she angry about?

If I were to be angry, I would have been angry a long time ago. How could I wait until now to get angry?

"Anyway, thank you for escorting me down the mountain tonight, Your Highness. I will definitely bring my brother to thank you tomorrow."

She stood up again and walked out. This time, Xie Ming did not stop her. Instead, he watched her walk away step by step. Until Shen Chu raised her hand to push the door, a cold voice came from behind Shen Chu, with a cruel tone, "If you dare to leave this door tonight, you will lose your legs."

After entering the capital with Shang Heng, Jiang Fuling wanted Shang Heng to let her go. Her home was not in a remote alley in the capital and it would not take long to walk there.

But every time she spoke, her voice was drowned out by the sound of horse hooves, and Shang Heng didn't hear a word.

When Jiang Fuling finally couldn't stand it anymore, she leaned over to Shang Heng's ear and shouted, "I'm home, let me down!"

Shang Heng turned a deaf ear and continued forward.

Thinking that he didn't hear clearly, Jiang Fuling was about to continue shouting, but her mouth was covered as soon as she opened it. The man's palm was covered with rough calluses, which made Jiang Fuling feel uncomfortable. A low and hoarse voice came from very close.

"Go to the General's Mansion."

Who can tell her what's wrong with Shang Heng?

She asked Shang Heng to put her down but was rejected by Shang Heng, and she realized something was wrong.

Normally, if Shang Heng heard her say this, he would have quickly kicked her off the horse. But not only did he not kick her off, he even covered her mouth with his hand. It was simply despicable.

After that, Shang Heng didn't say another word. Not only did he not say anything, but he was reluctant to let go of the hand that was covering her mouth. In the end, Jiang Fuling bit him and forced him to let go.

Jiang Fuling saw him withdraw his hand and was about to repeat what he had just said, but the withdrawn hand covered her head again and stroked it gently, as if to soothe her anger.

The scenery in front of her eyes flew past quickly. Jiang Fuling sat on the horse with her lips slightly open and her eyes gaping in surprise.

It was not until the horse stopped at the gate of the general's mansion and Jiang Fuling was carried off the horse by Shang Heng that she finally reacted.

She struggled to get out of his arms, her mouth still quiet, "What are you doing? Why am I in the general's mansion? Put me down!"

The voice became sharper at the end, but Shang Heng did not react at all and continued to walk inside. Jiang Fuling was also very strong, but Shang Heng had been on the battlefield. Even though she was strong, there was still a certain gap between her and Shang Heng.

"You are forcibly abducting a woman. This is against the law. I can sue you."

Jiang Fuling tried to awaken Shang Heng's sanity.

But it didn't work.

"Go ahead and sue me."

This means that he admitted the guilt mentioned by Jiang Fuling.

Okay, okay, that’s great.

"Do you believe I will strangle you to death?"

Her hands were not tied and she could move freely. As she said this, she stretched out her hands to Shang Heng's neck and really pinched him.

Even so, Shang Heng didn't even blink and let Jiang Fuling do as she pleased.

"I believe."

"There's a dagger on my left waist. You can use that. It will be faster."

"..."

While saying these words, Shang Heng walked forward steadily. Jiang Fuling had been here countless times. This was the way to Shang Heng's bedroom.

Seeing this, Jiang Fuling admitted that she was a little panicked. In this panic, she really reached out to touch the dagger at Shang Heng's waist.

Her hand was randomly groping around Shang Heng's waist and abdomen, but she couldn't find the dagger after a long time. Shang Heng, who had been calm all the way, suddenly stopped moving and his breathing became disordered.

At this time, Jiang Fuling finally found what she wanted.

Pulling out the dagger, Jiang Fuling held it in one hand and pointed it at Shang Heng's heart, "Put me down."
