Reborn to marry, the short-lived prince lived a hundred years

Chapter 17 The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are...

Tingyue closed her eyes and dozed off in the carriage, constantly recalling what happened in her previous life.

But she remembered very little. She was just a girl in the boudoir and knew nothing about official or military affairs. All she knew were things that were circulated among the people.

All we know is that Wei Li seemed to have been ambushed by a woman. It happened that after the bandits were successfully suppressed, Wei Li let down his guard and was not wearing any armor. The tip of the knife directly hit his vitals and he died soon after.

Meng Tingyue slowly rubbed her stuffy chest, her brows slightly furrowed.

After I stopped taking the medicine, I felt uncomfortable for a while every day. Today, maybe it was because I sat in the carriage for too long, and the feeling of boredom was aroused again.

She raised the curtain on the car window and looked out.

As the sun sets, the sky is as dazzling as a burning flame, and the afterglow falls on the ground, making the surroundings golden.

Thick city walls and magnificent city gates flashed before my eyes.

Only then did she realize that they had reached the next city.

The faces of hardworking and simple people passed before my eyes.

There are all kinds of shops and vendors, and the aroma of food is fragrant.

She rubbed her empty stomach and was helped out of the carriage by Shen Yunheng.

Only then did she realize that the number of people in the team had suddenly decreased and the clothes they were wearing were much simpler.

Even Shen Yunheng's clothes became much more ordinary, the only thing that remained unchanged was the black color.

Shen Yunheng pushed her into the guest room of the inn and threw a piece of clothing to her.

Spreading out the clothes, Meng Tingyue raised her eyebrows slightly, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Shen Yunheng leaned against the door waiting for her to change her clothes.

Hearing the sound of a door opening, he glanced at it casually, his eyes slightly stunned.

The makeup on Meng Tingyue's face had been wiped off by her using a handkerchief dipped in the clean water in the pot.

Without the gorgeous makeup, Shen Yunheng saw a pale face.

Her lips were light pink, her features were pretty, her skin was very fair, but her cheeks were pale, and she looked weak, as if she had just recovered from a serious illness.

The clothes seemed a little big on her, making her figure look even smaller, with her waist just as slender as a hand.

Shen Yunheng frowned slightly and called Ling Xiao over, "Go buy some women's clothing."

Ling Xiao's eyes swept across Meng Tingyue, and he understood, "Yes."

Meng Tingyue took off her men's clothes and put on the women's clothes that Ling Xiao had just brought.

Ordinary women's clothes seemed expensive when she wore them.

Shen Yunheng looked away and said, "Let's go downstairs to eat."

After dinner, Shen Yunheng took Meng Tingyue, who was traveling light, out of the city.

Ling Xiao was the only one left by Shen Yunheng's side. Ling Xiao was holding two horses, one of which was the one Shen Yunheng rode during the day.

A gentle breeze blew in the evening, bringing a slight chill into Meng Tingyue's neck. She shrank her neck because of the cold.

"We are going to..."

Before she could finish her question, Shen Yunheng put his hands on her waist and easily lifted her up.

It was Meng Tingyue's first time riding a horse, and she grabbed the reins in a panic.

Shen Yunheng got on the horse easily.

Meng Tingyue could feel the scent of dragon scales coming from behind her. Their chests were pressed against each other's backs, their auras entangled.

The reins were snatched from my hands, and a voice came from above my head.

"What? Are you scared?"

Meng Tingyue was not used to such close contact. She twisted her body and said stubbornly, "I'm not afraid."

"If you move again, I will throw you off my horse and let you walk over on your own."

Meng Tingyue didn't dare to move for a moment.

She was really afraid of being thrown down.

Shen Yunheng lowered his eyes and could only see a furry head. He was surprised that the person in his arms suddenly behaved well.

As if he had discovered something interesting, he squeezed the horse's belly hard to urge it forward.

The horse galloped in the moonlight, and the cold wind slapped Meng Tingyue's face, stinging her so much that she dared not open her eyes. Her body was tense, and she could only draw warmth and a sense of security from the person behind her who was like a stove.

After an unknown amount of time, a faint laugh seemed to come from above Meng Tingyue's head, "Huanghun, here we are."

The laughter was so light that Meng Tingyue thought it was an illusion caused by the wind.

Shen Yunheng's face was still as cold and serious as an ice sculpture. He just glanced at her lightly and then looked away.

Shen Yunheng walked with big strides under the moonlight, gradually distanced himself from her.

The horse behind him was led away by Ling Xiao.

Meng Tingyue patted her cold and stiff face, blinked, looked around, and saw that the surroundings were desolate and unfamiliar. She hurriedly took her stiff legs to catch up.

The moon above our heads was hidden in the clouds, and the surroundings suddenly became so dark that we couldn't see our hands in front of us.

Meng Tingyue's heart trembled, and her childhood fear came to her mind. She ran out in panic.

His steps were unsteady, as if a ghost was following him.

Shen Yunheng was suddenly hit on the back, and there were screams and sounds of people falling to the ground behind him.

He turned around and could vaguely see a person curled up on the ground.

His eyes trembled slightly, and he leaned over and stretched out his hand. Just as he touched Meng Tingyue's shoulder, Meng Tingyue exclaimed, "Who!"

Listening to the trembling and choked voice, Shen Yunheng frowned, "It's me."

A familiar voice sounded, and Meng Tingyue grabbed Shen Yunheng's hand as if she had grasped the backbone. She suppressed her fear of the darkness in her heart, "Your Highness, can you give me a hand..."

Shen Yunheng's hand was held very tightly, and his trembling voice and fear were revealed to him without any concealment.

Hearing the voice of "Your Highness the Crown Prince", Shen Yunheng raised his eyebrows slightly.

He didn't even pretend, it seemed he was really scared.

Shen Yunheng didn't reply for a long time, and the fear in Meng Tingyue's heart became more and more intense, sweeping towards her little by little.

She could only turn to the vague shadow in front of her for help.

Shen Yunheng stretched out his other hand, grabbed Meng Tingyue's arm and pulled her up.

Meng Tingyue staggered and lost her balance, falling towards Shen Yunheng.

The crescent moon in the sky may have noticed that no one was looking for it, so it quietly poked its head out.

The cold moonlight falls.

Wei Li crawled on the ground and hid for a long time, but Shen Yunheng didn't come over. He felt strange and stood up to look for him.

"His Royal Highness."

Only after Wei Li walked in did he discover Meng Tingyue who was completely hidden by Shen Yunheng's figure. He looked a little unnatural, and quickly lowered his head, leaving a word before fleeing in embarrassment.

"I didn't see anything."

Meng Tingyue got up from Shen Yunheng's arms, with two tears hanging from the corners of her eyes. Her cheeks were slightly flushed because she was trapped in Shen Yunheng's arms. Her eyes were wet and she looked as if she had been abused.

Shen Yunheng's eyes darkened, "Let go."

Only then did Meng Tingyue realize that she had been holding Shen Yunheng's hand tightly. She let go somewhat unnaturally, her face becoming even more flushed. She racked her brains to think of how to justify her embarrassing behavior.

Shen Yunheng didn't seem to want to listen and turned away.

After Wei Li ran back, he didn't care about anything else and just found a place to lie down.

"Why hasn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived yet?" asked the adjutant.

Wei Li thought of the scene he had just seen, his eyes were vague, and he seemed a little embarrassed to speak.

"Didn't you go look for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Didn't you find out?" The adjutant, not waiting for Wei Li's answer, said impatiently, "Stop nagging. Forget it. I'll go ask myself."

Wei Li pulled the adjutant back and whispered, "You can't go... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are here, they are..."
