Translator: Claire.KK
Shang Wuxin threw the handkerchief out of the window in the carriage, and the white handkerchief flew away with the wind.

Today’s dinner party had nothing special happened, but Shang Wuxin felt really tired as her poisoned body was not good. That was why she wanted to rush out of the palace. She knew very well that if she worked too hard like this, the poison in her body would break out in advance.

Shang Wuxin narrowed her eyes slightly and rested on the carriage. At this moment, she had to lament the contribution of the miracle doctor. This carriage was indeed very comfortable. It would take some time and efforts if she wanted to have such a carriage with her statue nowadays. She wondered if the miracle-working doctor would help her if she found a way to hide her gender. As she was distracted, the carriage suddenly stopped.

When Shang Wuxin was about to ask what happened outside, the curtain of the carriage was suddenly lifted and a woman came up from outside. The hands in Shang Wuxin’s sleeve slightly became a fist since that woman fell in Shang Wuxin’s arm because her unbalanced standing. The girl was wearing a blue crochet pleated dress and a light and opaque veil on her face. Although she didn’t show her appearance, her bright, elegant and charming eyes had already reflected her beauty.

“Prince!” There were the crying from Wu Wei and Wu Ju outside the carriage, but they didn’t dare to break into the carriage. They knew that the prince’s habit was strange and frightening sometimes.

“I’m okay!” Shang Wuxin pushed away the girl in her arms and then arranged her clothes even it wasn’t messy. She also took out a handkerchief to wipe the hand that had just held the girl. She acted like an elegant prince.

Nangong Lian was chased by others and she saw a luxurious carriage in front of her on her running way, even though the surface of the carriage had nothing special but she had saw too many luxurious things and knew at a glance that the carriage was an expensive one. Nangong Lian thought that there should be a lady in the carriage since there were two maids driving the carriage. Only lady put women in a position of importance. An ordinary man would look down on women.

So she rushed into the carriage in a hurry, but she ran into the slightly cool arms and smelled a very demagogic fragrance of flowers. Before she recognized what it was, she was mercilessly pushed away by the owner.

Nangong Lian sat on the carriage and looked at the owner. The first thing Nangong Lian noticed was the eyes of the owner, which were as calm as dead water. It seemed that nothing could wave its emotions. It was really cool and indifferent as everything in the world as nothing. All things in the world were not seen highly in this pair of eyes! The nice and cold eyes were belonged to a teenager boy! When Nangong Lian found that the owner of carriage was a man, she admired his appearance even she had been used to her brother’s peerless look.

Nangong Lian’s face was a little red under her veil. She sat opposite the young man and tried to say “thanks” sheepishly. But before she had finished speaking, the veil that she was firmly wearing suddenly left her face because of the running and bumping.

Nangong Lian was pale immediately and wanted to pick up the veil in a hurry. However, the veil was picked by the young man opposite first. Nangong Lian bite her lips and looked up with widen eyes. The “young man” looked at her with her veil in hand without despising, dislike or fear. “He” was so calm. Nangong Lian suddenly wanted to cry at this moment. This was the first man who saw her face but didn’t scream and dislike her. At this moment, Nangong Lian didn’t know why she felt aggrieved and wanted to cry. She didn’t cry for many years, but now she shed tears in front of a stranger.

At the first sight of this woman, Shang Wuxin was interested in her. She had beautiful eyes without flashiness as ordinary girl. What was more, Shang Wuxin felt good at this first meet with the girl, so she didn’t kill her although the woman broke into her carriage.

Now, Shang Wuxin knew the reason why this girl worn a veil after viewing her sad looking. It was different from a long scar of Wu Wei. This girl’s left face was branded with the word “BITCH”. Although it had been a long time branded, the word still existed on her face. As time passed, it turned into a light red scar, which made her original charming face horrible. It was an accident for Shang Wuxin to see a girl crying in front of her. This girl looked like a tough person. How could she cry so easily? Shang Wuxin doubted whether she was right or wrong to not kill this girl immediately.

When Shang Wuxin felt impatient and wanted to throw the girl out, the girl wiped the tears on her face randomly and then said with a smile, “You’re the first person who didn’t dislike the scar on my face. Everyone felt disgusted and despised of me when they see me!”

Shang Wuxin didn’t respond to the woman’s words. In Shang Wuxin’s mind, everyone loved beauty. But if someone concerned too much about his/her appearance, he/she would be always tired in the end.

Shang Wuxin passed the veil to the girl, but the girl didn’t hurry to take the veil. She stared at Shang Wuxin curiously and asked, “Are you a civil of Shang State? Where are you from?” Nangong Lian thought that such a gorgeous young man should be very famous in the mainland. How could she have never heard of him?

At this time, someone stopped the carriage suddenly. Wu Wei shouted with killing intention “Who dare to stop?” Wu Ju was about to step out to fight. It was a dereliction of duty just now since they had let people rush into the carriage. If these people disturbed the prince again, they were afraid that the prince would be really angry.

“We saw a woman with a veil enter the carriage just now. Hand her out quickly!” A few men outside announced. Both Wu Wei and Wu Ju had noticed that these people were good at martial arts.

Nangong Lian’s body stiffened and she looked at the opposite young man, wondering whether he would hand over her or not. After all, they were only meeting for the first time. If she was handed over at this time, Nangong Lian would not resent him because this was the most rational way.

“How dare you!” Wu Ju had drawn out her long sword with her words. Wu Wei stood close to the curtain of the carriage to keep others away.

“Since you don’t hand over the girl, don’t blame us for being rude!” There were several people shouting angrily. If it wasn’t in Shang State, they would have killed people in front of them. Even though the carriage was luxurious, they thought there should be only a rich merchant in it, so they were ready to fight without hesitation.

Just when everyone was ready to start, an ice-cold voice in the carriage emerged, which made people feel cold all over. “Being rude? I’d like to see if there are any bastards in the capital who dares to be rude to Crown Prince.”

A voice startled the people outside who wanted to break into the carriage. Nangong Lian, who was in the carriage, asked in surprise, “Are you Shang Wuxin, the Crown Prince of Shang State?” Nangong Lian was not a stranger to this name. It was once heard that the young man was thin and timid, but he became a talent and gorgeous man later. People loved him very much. She used to be curious about Shang Wuxin and she didn’t expect to see him today. He was really matched with the word “gorgeous”.

When these people heard that it was the Crown Prince of Shang State in the carriage, they knew that they had to turn back empty-handed. They bowed to the carriage and said, “Your Excellency, we’ll leave right away.” They would not be afraid of Crown Prince of Shang State before. But now they knew that the prince was not simple after hearing his deeds. So they choose to leave and don’t fight against with it.

“Leave? Where do you want to go?” Shang Wuxin stroked his sleeve, “I think, you’d better stay in the Shang State!”

Then Shang Wuxin picked up a tea cup in the carriage and threw it out. A man outside was suddenly shoved into his mouth with the tea leaves, and was killed by Wu Wei with her long sword at his throat directly. Wu Ju also jumped out of the carriage and killed people who wanted to escape from the quiet alley.

When there was no movement outside, Wu Wei and Wu Ju took out handkerchiefs to wipe the sword and clothes till they were not stained with blood and sat outside the carriage again.

Shang Wuxin picked up the curtain and saw the dead bodies outside. There was a bad smell of blood in the alley. Shang Wuxin ordered in a cold voice, “Tell Bai Shaolin to deal with it.” Anyway, it was subordinates’ duty to deal with the mess.
