Chapter 136
Rubbing his sore forehead, Shang Wuxin said to the rooftop, “Isn’t it cold outside after following me for so long?”
These days, Shang Wuxin had always known that Han Xuanhao was by his side, and he spent the whole night on the roof when he rested. Now, Dong Ri had spent the whole night outside, so even with martial arts protecting his body, it would not be easy for Shang Wuxin to find out. However, it was because Han Xuanhao’s gaze was too infatuated with her that she was able to detect the identity of the person in the dark.
There was no sound from the rooftop. Just as Shang Wuxin thought that it was time for Han Xuan to leave, he found Han Xuanhao already standing in the hall. He picked up a cloak and placed it on the crown prince, then sat on the other side of the couch.
Perhaps it was because Han Xuanhao had always been like this, never stopping. He was not used to this kind of quiet morning, so he stood up to rest, but was held back by Han Xuanhao. He should have slapped Han Xuanhao, but for some reason, Shang Wuxin sat down and looked at him.
Today, Han Xuanhao wore a red brocade robe. Perhaps it was because he had good martial arts, but he was wearing a thin, light and casual attire. His long black hair was spread out behind him, and his pair of long and narrow eyes were misty and deep.
“You don’t have to follow me like this every day from now on!” What was more important was that she did not want Han Xuanhao to spend the whole night on it every night. Even if he was beaten up, she would not be able to bear it, no matter how close her relationship with Han Xuanhao was in the future. She did not want to hurt him right now.
Han Xuanhao did not let go of the Crown Prince’s hand. His fingers slowly touched each joint of the Crown Prince’s hand, but Shang Wuxin felt that her hand was starting to heat up, but she did not pull it away. The two of them did not even need to be shy about doing such a thing. However, in the end, he didn’t have that sort of aversion towards Han Xuanhao. Otherwise, even if Han Xuanhao had bumped into him that day, he would have killed someone else as well.
“Heh, can’t I even look at you in the dark now?” “Xin’er, you are so cruel!” Han Xuanhao’s eyes flashed with grief. He had never loved anyone before, but now that he had finally fallen in love with a person and met such a heartless person, he wouldn’t use force to coax the crown prince. It seemed that no matter what he did, the crown prince wouldn’t let him in.
Shang Wuxin pursed her lips without saying a word, but Han Xuanhao suddenly embraced Shang Wuxin with an unavoidable domineering air. “Xin`er, I know you don’t like me yet, and I know your current status doesn’t allow for children’s love, so I’m willing to wait.” “No matter what you want to do in the future, you are not the same person. You don’t need to doubt my intentions, because all of my efforts are for you!”
Perhaps Han Xuanhao’s voice was too pleasant to hear, or perhaps his actions over the past few days had caused waves to rise in her heart. Perhaps she was indeed too lonely, Shang Wuxin did not resist, “Perhaps you still did not get what you wanted in the end?”
Han Xuanhao lowered his head to look at the crown prince in his arms. It seemed that the crown prince was approaching him, but only he knew that the crown prince’s body was stiff, conflicted, and on guard. He looked at the crown prince’s small head; he had never known that the crown prince’s identity was too small and thin, but now that he knew the crown prince’s identity, he felt that the crown prince was too thin. Was it because of his identity that he was so skinny?
“Then I will always stand behind Xin Er. You can see me when you turn around!” Han Xuanhao said gently. Perhaps, although he had a feminine appearance, he was very domineering, but he fell in love with a more overbearing person, so he could only retreat.
Shang Wuxin did not dare to look up at Han Xuanhao, who had uttered such words. She realized that there were times when she was afraid as well. Sometimes, when she was close to warmth, it would not necessarily warm her, but push her deeper into the abyss.
“In a few days, I will be preparing to go to Nangong!” Shang Wuxin changed the subject, afraid that continuing such an emotional topic would lead to more unreason in her, and more importantly, she did not even bother to do something as despicable as playing with other people’s true feelings.
Han Xuanhao immediately exploded. “What?” “To the Nangong Country?” He had yet to let the Crown Prince like him so he would have to separate. Moreover, the most important thing was that Nangong Qian was a very capable person, even though he did not know the identity of the Crown Prince and had intentions for the Crown Prince, if something really happened in the Nangong Country, who could he go and cry to!
Han Xuanhao felt that he was being too agitated and quickly revealed a fawning smile. “Xin`er, your journey to the Nangong Kingdom is a long one. You definitely need to bring along guards and guards. Why don’t I follow you and protect you?”
“The matter with the Frigid Star Pavilion is not easy, and I have something to attend to this time, so I do not need your protection!” Although Shang Wuxin’s voice was gentle, there was no doubt about it. She did not want to be bound by anyone.
Han Xuanhao also knew that the decision of the crown prince wouldn’t change. He secretly thought to himself, “If you don’t want me to follow me in secret, wouldn’t it be fine?” After all, the Crown Prince had told him not to enter the Crown Prince’s Palace at the beginning, and now he was still in the Crown Prince’s Palace.
“I don’t want us to have no friends!” Shang Wuxin had guessed most of Han Xuanhao’s thoughts. Han Xuanhao was a person who did not have any restrictions on freedom. Just based on the fact that his head hurt a lot these days, she could only make things worse.
Han Xuanhao helplessly placed his chin on the crown prince’s shoulder. “If I don’t go, then I won’t go. Why is it that Xin Er’s words are so resolute that it makes me sad!” Han Xuanhao said half jokingly, half seriously, “But you have to bring more people with you. Furthermore, that Nangong Qian is not a good person, don’t get too close to him. This person is very vicious.” Han Xuanhao had made Nangong Qian completely worthless, to the point that he was thirsty.
“Why didn’t I know you liked to blame people like this?” How could Shang Wuxin not see through Han Xuanhao’s intentions? It was just that he found it amusing to see Han Xuanhao diligently searching for Nangong Qian’s flaws and rumours.
Han Xuanhao smiled embarrassedly. It seemed that he was being a little unkind, but so what if he was being unkind for the sake of Xin’er?
“I’m not blaming Nangong Qian, what I said was the truth!” Han Xuanhao spoke from the bottom of his heart. It seemed that the crown prince was an ignorant little white rabbit in front of him while Nangong Qian was an evil wolf.
Although Han Xuanhao really did want to follow him in, he did not have the guts to do so. Thus, he could only sit on the soft bed for a while before leaving. Thinking that the Crown Prince would definitely leave the country and return to the Star Pavilion from now on, he felt a bit depressed.

Leng Yufeng was very capable, but the matter of him marrying Leng Wujing, the young lady of the Leng Residence, was settled. The incident of him being thrown out of the crown prince’s mansion also spread throughout the capital. Now, not a single person in the capital talked about him with disdain, and many women’s parents used him as an example to educate their daughters. However, in just a few days, she had turned from a noble lady of the capital into a shameless woman that everyone hated.
Leng Zi had originally been extremely opposed to this marriage. Now that he saw Leng Tiantong, he thought of how he had been cheated by this woman for so many years and how he had been hated by the crown prince. He didn’t even have time to hate this kind of woman and wanted to marry her, but due to the pressure from Leng Yufeng, he had turned the original cold marriage into a cold wife.
She had lost her innocence, lost the reputation she had worked so hard to maintain for so many years, lost the trust she had placed in Leng Zi, and lost the love of the old general. More importantly, she could no longer marry Fantasy Gongzi. Not only did he not want to marry Leng Zi, he even wanted to kill her.
When Leng Zi shut herself in her room without eating or drinking, the door was suddenly opened by someone.
“Get out, I don’t want to eat!” Leng Zi shouted at the people who came in.
Suddenly, someone grabbed Leng Zi and said in a shrill voice, “When Leng Zi is here, get up!” You go beg your big brother, go beg your big brother, go tell the Crown Prince that it was you who forced me to marry Young Noble Huan. I don’t want to marry you, I don’t want to marry you, I hate you!
At first, he thought he could see that Leng Tiantian had an abominable appearance, but now he knew how shameless Leng Tiantan was. After so many years of sincerely defending Leng Tiantian and admiring him, Leng Zi felt that he was really blind.
“Leng Wujing, I now realize how shameless you are. But don’t worry, I won’t marry you!” Leng Zi looked at him with disdain and said.
Leng Tiantan was overjoyed that Leng Zi was prepared to promise him, but when he saw Leng Zi, he continued, “Because you are only a concubine to me, how can I marry you?”
Leng Ning looked at Leng Zi with disbelief in her eyes. She wanted to say something, but Leng Zi called over a manservant from the Leng Residence. “Take my wife away. If she continues to cause trouble like this, she will be locked up!”
Leng Zi stood up. He knew that it was no longer possible for him and the crown prince to be together, so he could only do this.
