The Captivating Crown Prince - Chapter 57
Chapter 57: Eldest Prince Shang Chenzhao’s Scheme
Translator: Claire.KK
Just as they arrived at the garden, Shang Wuxin’s clothes were splashed with stains, so Shang Chenzhao “kindly” made his concubine lead Shang Wuxin to clean up first. Looking at Shang Chenzhao’s concubine slowly approach, Shang Wuxin didn’t show any attitude about such a low plot.
“Crown Prince, please come with me!” The concubine of Shang Chenzhao was dressed in a smoky blue dress, outlining a graceful and exquisite curve of her body. She looked good with fresh and elegant makeup. The most intriguing thing for Shang Wuxin was that the concubine’s dress actually had a split extending to her hips. Her white and smooth legs were exposed clearly at her walking. With the surrounding landscape, she appeared to be kind of erotic.
Shang Wuxin sighed in her heart. Was she seemed to be so lustful? What was more, even if she loved beauty, it couldn’t be such a woman without brains. The most important thing was she was really a serious girl, so how could she, with the body of a female, if she really loved beauty?
The concubine looked at the crown prince and felt nervous. She couldn’t wait to have deep relationship with Shang Wuxin later. How many women dreamed to have such a gorgeous man as the crown prince? She might become the first woman of the crown prince! What was more, Shang Chenzhao had promised to her that she would be supported to become the princess as long as she had done this thing well. All of this made her excited.
As soon as the soft voice of “Crown Prince” rang, Shang Wuxin got goose bumps all over.
The concubine took out her handkerchief to wipe the stain on the crown prince’s body. It was clear that the stain was on the hem, but the concubine put the handkerchief under the crown prince’s abdomen and even lower part. The corner of Shang Wuxin’s mouth began to twitch.
Before Shang Wuxin threw away the concubine, the concubine who was about to grope Shang Wuxin was slapped away by a gust of wind. It happened that the place where the concubine fell was in the Lake of the eldest Prince’s garden. The concubine was still in a coma at this time, so it would not be long before she died totally.
It was Leng Yufeng’s who did this. At this time, Leng Yufeng who wore a black robe appeared to be ferocious and murderous. Actually, when Leng Yufeng saw Crown Prince was taken away by the concubine, he felt something wrong. After he caught up them, he saw that the woman wanted to touch Shang Wuxin. At that moment, Leng Yufeng felt that he wanted to kill not only the woman but all the people in the mansion.
Shang Wuxin stooped to pick up the handkerchief that concubine just dropped on the ground. Even if the concubine was not close to Shang Wuxin, she knew what would go on. Wu Ju and Wu Wei also came out from the dark, stood beside the crown prince and reported, “Crown Prince, I’ve made clear about Shang Chenzhan’s plan that the concubine would drug you and intended to bring people to view the scene when Crown Prince raped his sister-in-law. Shang Chenzhao was trying to ruin the reputation of you!”
Not only did Wu Wei feel angry when she discovered Shang Chenzhao’s scheme, but Leng Yufeng could not bear the anger and he almost drew the soft sword out of the stealth at his waist. But he was held by another soft cold hand slightly.
Leng Yufeng didn’t dare to see it, but he knew that this hand belonged to the crown prince. As expected, he heard Shang Wuxin’s voice, “Don’t be impulsive, General Leng!”
Then she took back the hand. Leng Yufeng felt shocked and regretted. What if he had just grasped the hand of Shang Wuxin?
The hand in Shang Wuxin’s sleeve moved slightly. At that moment, she felt Leng Yufeng’s strong killing intent. If she couldn’t stop it, he would cause troubles in Shang Chenzhao’s mansion today. She took Leng Yufeng’s hand without thinking, but when she felt the man’s temperature through her hands, she was still a little disgusted. If she hadn’t contact with Leng Yufeng for some times and knew he was really good for her, she was really afraid that she would constantly wipe her palms uncomfortably.
“Have you brought the people?” Shang Wuxin asked Wu Wei. Since Shang Chenzhao wanted to insult her, how could she just wait and pretend nothing had happened? Originally, Shang Wuxin had grant Wu Wei right to punish Shang Chenzhao as she wanted, but Wu Wei just wanted his life in the end. As for the process of punishment, the crown prince was the real master.
“Yes!” Wu Ju dragged a comatose woman from behind the rockery, who happened to be Miss Wanwan at the banquet.
Shang Wuxin looked at the east side of the garden, where the young men and ladies were enjoying the flowers, and before long someone were coming near. Shang Wuxin and Leng Yufeng immediately flashed to the back of the rockery, hearing the coming footsteps of two people.
“Is it done?” The voice of Shang Chenzhao was eager and excited.
“Your Highness, the concubine has taken the crown prince away and the philter on her handkerchief is very powerful. As long as the crown prince touches it, he will be crazy about sex. Just in a moment, Your Highness can take people to catch them on the spot!” The householder of Eldest Prince’s mansion reported. They had arranged for a long time and finally attracted the crown prince to here.
“Nice, leave away first and lead people to the concubine’s yard later!” The tone of Shang Chenzhao was urgent. If he was not afraid that his appearance would cause others’ suspicion, he would definitely lead people here by himself. Anyway, the housekeeper could do this as well.
Behind the rockery, the faces of Shang Wuxin and Leng Yufeng were different. Shang Wuxin gave Wu Wei a meaningful eye and left with leng Yufeng. Shangchen Zhao, the eldest prince, however, fell into a coma because Wu Wei struck at his acupoint of sleeping after Shang Wuxin left. The handkerchief Shang Wuxin had just picked up was handed over to Wu Wei too.
When Shang Wuxin and Leng Yufeng returned to their seats, Leng Yufeng asked, “Why not kill his directly?” Knowing Shang Chenzhao’s calculation, Leng Yufeng thought it was right to kill him. Crown Prince was the peerless one that even he has no heart to touch, how could he allow others insult Shang Wuxin.
“It’ll cause too many troubles, and it’s not the time!” Shang Wuxin took out the handkerchief and answered Leng Yufeng casually while wiping her hand which had took the handkerchief.
Looking at the crown prince’s actions, Leng Yufeng suddenly remembered that the crown prince seemed to have touched him just now. His face was a little gloomy. He knew that much noble people like Shang Wuxin had obsession of cleanliness, but he didn’t think that he was a dirty thing to Shang Wuxin too.
“I’m not afraid of trouble. I’ll kill the eldest prince for you!” Leng Yufeng said firmly. He had never been impulsive to do things unruly. But now Leng Yufeng was not that cold-hearted general; he was just an ordinary man who couldn’t get response from his sweetheart.
“Aha” The straightforward Leng Yufeng made Shang Wuxin feel bright at once, “Don’t be so serious, General Leng. Pass trivial things to subordinates!”
While they were talking, Wu Wei came back. There was a flash of satisfaction in Shang Wuxin’s eyes, “Is everything done well?”
There still lingered hate in Wu Wei’s eyes, but she was really happy at this time, “Thank you Crown Prince! All things have been dealt with. Although Shang Chenzhao has not died, it is more painful for him now!” The crown prince once told them that death was not the most terrible thing. A living hell was more terrible than an easy death, so it was the best way for her to vent her hatred and now she sort of revenged her sister.
“What are you muttering about?” Nangong Lian came near and asked. They had disappeared together and she couldn’t find them. Now she was the only one who didn’t know what they had done. It was really a bad feeling.
Shang Wuxin didn’t answer Nanggong Lian but got up and left. As she left, Leng Yufeng also left. Although people didn’t understand why the crown prince left early, they didn’t think much about it, because they thought they would watch a good play later. With that, how could they think too much about the early departure of the crown prince?
After Shang Wuxin got on the carriage, Nanggong Lian was about to get on the carriage too, but Leng Yufeng took the lead and warmed Nanggong Lian in a cold voice, “I have something important to discuss with the crown prince, please stay outside!”
Leng Yufeng went close to the carriage quickly when Nangong Lian was still stunned. Although Nangong Lian wanted to enter, she knew that Prince Shang was not a good tempered one and she had to admit that the last sight of the General Leng made her a little afraid.
Leng Yufeng did not go directly in the carriage, but requested outside the curtain, “Crown Prince?” He believed that Crown Prince with powerful martial arts must have heard what he said. He did not know if the prince was angry to not let him in.
“Come in!” Shang Wuxin’s unique voice made Leng Yufeng happy secretly.
However, when Leng Yufeng walked into the carriage and saw Shang Wuxin leaning against the wall of the carriage and looking at him with fun, Leng Yufeng suddenly felt embarrassed. He was reluctant to get off the carriage, but he felt uneasy and hot as the crown prince looked at him in this way. Even when the carriage started, Leng Yufeng still stood beside the curtain of the carriage and didn’t come to sit.
