The war god prince climbs the wall every night, and the princess is angry

"Um...Princess...Princess..." Lin Ze smiled awkwardly, and when he looked up, he met Luo Xiyao's angry eyes.

Lin Ze's body stiffened, and he said, "Well... well... Your Majesty! Please wait for me!"

He jumped on his horse at lightning speed and chased after Xie Nanyuan.

After this incident, the four people's interest was obviously reduced. They walked around for a while, but as it got darker and there were fewer and fewer people on the street, they each went back to their homes.

-

An hour later.

The streets that were bustling with people just now are now extremely quiet, as if a grand banquet has come to an end and silence has returned after the hustle and bustle.

The wind was cold and the sound of two horse hooves could be heard on the quiet street, heading towards the Shen Mansion.

A quarter of an hour later, Lin Ze looked at the tall figure in front of him who was staring at the wall of Shen Mansion with a fierce look, and he felt complicated and inexplicable in his heart.

What was the reason for him to reflect on his mistakes last time when he was punished by the prince to go to the martial arts arena?

So he just faced the wall and reflected on his thoughts? !

Lin Ze thought about this and stepped forward to Xie Nanyuan and said, "Your Highness, it's getting late today. I'm afraid Miss Shen has gone to bed. It's not appropriate to come to her house rashly like this, right?"

Xie Nanyuan paused when he heard this, then glanced at him from the side and said, "Nothing. Last time at this time, she hadn't rested either."

"Besides, I want to discuss something important with her. Business is the most important thing."

Business?

Linze scratched his head in confusion.

The first month of the lunar year hasn't even ended yet. What important matter could there be that requires you to climb over the wall in the middle of the night to look for Miss Shen?

"What's the business?" Lin Ze asked.

Xie Nanyuan pursed his lips slightly, his expression impassive and composed. He said, "Just like what you said last time, discuss the next deployment with her."

"The Lunar New Year is almost over, and the Yongning Marquisate should be able to make some arrangements sooner rather than later, so as not to be caught off guard."

Linze: “…”

Why does he feel something is wrong?

I always feel that this is just an excuse of the prince. The real reason is that he saw Miss Shen with Huo Jing tonight. The prince was jealous and couldn't sit still, but he was stubborn and refused to admit it.

Lin Ze thought so in his heart, but didn't dare to say it out loud.

"But Your Highness, you can enter through the main gate of the Shen Mansion tomorrow in broad daylight. It's not a good idea to climb over the wall in the middle of the night." Lin Ze said tentatively.

Xie Nanyuan's eyes darkened, and then he frowned slightly, saying righteously: "What do you know! There must be Yongning Hou's men around the Shen Mansion. The closer I get to her, the more dangerous the Shen family will be."

Is this really the case?

But climbing over the wall during the day is fine, but doing it this late at night, it seems like the prince has some selfish motives and wants to have a tryst with Miss Shen...

"But didn't you say..." Men are not allowed to enter a woman's bedroom without permission?

The rest of the words were swallowed back in the face of Xie Nanyuan's increasingly oppressive and sharp gaze.

He is now certain that the prince is abusing his power for personal gain. All the arrangements and deployments are just a cover. He is just provoked by what happened tonight and can't sit still!

It's a pity that the last time he proposed this idea, I scolded him with a righteous look on my face and punished him to face the wall and reflect on his mistakes. Now he comes to climb over the wall by himself.

Lin Ze was slandering in his heart, his teeth grinding.

Xie Nanyuan didn't know that Linze was so bold as to slander him in his heart.

He looked solemnly at the tall courtyard wall not far away, and after a while, he seemed to have finally made up his mind.

He took a step forward, stepped lightly, and with a few steps, he disappeared into the night.

Lin Ze, who had just returned from his trance and found himself abandoned, said: "..."

Your Highness, you are so anxious. Do you know which courtyard Miss Shen lives in?

-

It was a cold winter day, and the charcoal brazier in the house was burning brightly. Shen Qionghua had finished bathing and was sitting on a small couch wearing a cloak, reading the travel notes in his hand.

Shaoyao walked slowly to the window, reached out to open it, and the cold air rushed into the house through the tiny gap. The originally stuffy air instantly became much more comfortable.

She glanced at Shen Qionghua, then tiptoed out.

The room was silent, with only the occasional sound of pages turning.

Suddenly, there was a slight noise coming from the window. Shen Qionghua heard three knocks on the window, and then someone opened the window.

Shen Qionghua looked up and happened to meet the eyes of the man in the black robe.

Xie Nanyuan's breathing stagnated. Under the dim candlelight, a woman wearing a bright red cloak sat on a small table. Her long black hair draped behind her like a waterfall. Her pretty face was partially obscured by the sleek fox fur on the cloak, making her look even more petite. Her watery eyes were filled with confusion and surprise at the moment. She was so well-behaved that people couldn't help but want to touch her.

Xie Nanyuan's eyes grew darker, he pushed himself forward with both hands and leaped in.

It was not until Xie Nanyuan's feet landed on the ground that Shen Qionghua reacted.

What's wrong with Prince Rui? Why doesn't he go through the door but prefers to go through the window?

He stood up with a proper smile on his face and said, "Your Highness, why are you visiting so late at night? I wonder what's the important matter?"

When I saw him just now, he didn't say anything and had a sour face. How come he is here again in just one hour?

Xie Nanyuan didn't know what Shen Qionghua was thinking. He sat on the stool and when he heard Shen Qionghua's words, his expression froze slightly, as if he didn't know how to start.

He carefully considered his words, and after a while he finally spoke, "I just saw you on the street, and suddenly remembered something..."

Shen Qionghua stared at him with her bright eyes, waiting for him to continue. Then she saw Xie Nanyuan's tone change. "Come to think of it, I forgot to ask you. Why are you with Huo Jing during the Lantern Festival today? Didn't you say you don't plan to have a romantic relationship right now?"

The last sentence was filled with a hint of jealousy that Xie Nanyuan himself didn't even notice.

Shen Qionghua was slightly stunned, not understanding why the topic changed so quickly and suddenly turned to Huo Jing.

Seeing Xie Nanyuan's surprised expression, Shen Qionghua suddenly realized.

Prince Rui probably thought that I had deceived him and that I was focusing more on romance and not paying any attention to the big things I was planning, right?

She felt wronged. She had no idea that Huo Jing would go today, and she had no idea that she would be so unlucky to be seen by Prince Rui.

She had only met Huo Jing twice, and both times she was seen by Prince Rui. Shen Qionghua felt that her luck was really...

She hurriedly explained, "Princess Pingning invited me to go with her today. I didn't know Mr. Huo was there beforehand."

"But later, you and Huo Jing went on a trip together..." and you were even touching me.

When Xie Nanyuan said this, he felt a breath stuck in his chest, neither going up nor down, which was extremely uncomfortable.

But he didn't think that he was jealous because he fell in love with Shen Qionghua as Lin Ze said, but attributed all these reactions to deception.

That’s right, Shen Qionghua said it herself. She is not in love and is not getting married now, so how could she go back on her word?

If she explains clearly, I will forgive her.

When Shen Qionghua heard what Xie Nanyuan said, she quickly said, "That's because Xiyao said she wanted to release the sky lantern with Master Fu, so Master Huo and I should go ahead."

"Later, when I was getting up to release the river lanterns, an old lady accidentally bumped into me and I almost fell into the water. If it weren't for Mr. Huo helping me up, I would have definitely fallen into the lake." After saying this, Shen Qionghua was stunned.

Why did she explain the subsequent hug to King Rui?

Did she subconsciously feel that Prince Rui saw that scene?

It can't be such a coincidence, right?

Upon hearing this, Xie Nanyuan's brows relaxed a little, then gathered again.

It seems that Pingning is still too idle!
