"third prince is such a great gift, this old man cannot afford it. Sit down! Come, serve us some tea! " Xia Hou Bo's white brows relaxed, and his voice was like a loud bell. His sharp eyes narrowed, and he seemed incomparably benevolent and respectable. However, Shen Hanxin knew that the old man in front of her was definitely not a mortal for someone who could sit in the position of King Rong.

"The old prince is too polite. On the street that day, I and Feng Dao saw that Princess Yu Ying had been bullied. Although it was a shock, it was not dangerous. After that, I was still worried about the princess' phoenix body, so I came here today to seek peace of mind." Shen Hanxin's thin lips had already indicated his intention in coming here.

"Speaking of my daughter, this king still has to thank third prince. If it wasn't for third prince helping my daughter, who knows how many times I would have to suffer! Although I have a small temper, I will not cause trouble for no reason. Those bastards must have gone too far, that's why I started an argument with them. If I were to catch those bastards, I will definitely beat them a hundred times! " His originally sharp gaze revealed a doting expression the moment he mentioned Xia Hou Yuying.

In the name of the King, who would dare to be disrespectful to Xia Hou Yuying? Furthermore, Xia Hou Yuying had been tyrannical for more than a day or two, and now that Xia Hou Bo was actually defending his daughter like this, even blaming himself for it. He believed that Xia Hou Bo was extremely protective of his daughter, if he did not have this weakness, he would not have approached Xia Hou Yuying.

"Prince Rong is right. This King was careless." Shen Hanxin seemed to respond guiltily.

"Ugh …" "Hehe, this is not my intention at all. My daughter has been saved by Your Highness. Since Your Highness has come today, it's not too late for me to leave after dinner." Xia Hou Bo immediately ordered the butler to prepare some food. Shen Han Xin did not decline, this time he came to see Xia Hou Yu Ying, now that he did not see her, he had no reason to leave.

"I wonder if Princess Yu Ying is at her mansion?" Shen Hanxin did not seem to have the intention to ask, but before Xia Hou Bo could open her mouth, Xia Hou Yu Ying had already appeared in the main hall.

"Father …" The moment she saw Shen Hanxin, Xia Hou Yuying's gaze turned cold as her face fell. Shen Hanxin, on the other hand, walked towards Xia Hou Yuying with a bright smile on his face.

"Judging from Princess Yu Ying's current appearance, it looks like she wasn't frightened that day. This king has been worried for quite some time …" A clear and melodious voice rang out, but when it entered Xia Hou's ears, it was like a demonic sound that came from hell.

"If you don't want your father to know about what happened that day, don't put on such an iceberg like expression. You are not so heartless in that bed back then." Shen Hanxin warned in a low voice, before returning to his initial pampering look.

"But this is just a small matter, how can Yuying be afraid of it? Yuying appreciates the king's good intentions. Since you have seen it, please go back!" Xia Hou Yu suppressed the anger in his heart, trying to suppress Shen Han Xin's lackluster gaze.

"Ying`er, how can you be so rude? Royal father has already left third prince at home for dinner, go back to your room and prepare, come earlier." Xia Hou Bo pretended to be angry and opened his mouth, but he was unwilling to speak further.

"Father!" Xia Hou Yuying did not expect that her father would entertain Shen Hanxin in such a way. Her shame and indignation could not be quelled, and by the side, Shen Hanxin also understood what was going on.

"There is no need to trouble the old prince. Since Princess Yuying is free, I will take my leave …" Oh, Han Xin almost forgot. When I saved the princess that day, Han Xin's jade pendant was accidentally lost. Shen Hanxin seemed to have a deeper meaning as he looked at Xia Hou Yuying. He was clear that Xia Hou Yu would definitely not refuse.

As expected, after Xia Hou Yu Ying hesitated for a long time, she tightly pursed her cherry lips.

"I almost forgot, I'll have to trouble you to follow Yuying!" Xia Hou Yuying was extremely reluctant to speak, so she turned around and left the main hall.

"I shall take my leave, Feng Dao, and wait for me at the entrance of the mansion." Shen Hanxin saluted courteously and turned to leave with Xia Hou Yuying. Behind him, Feng Dao naturally accepted his orders. However, the gloom in his eyes only grew more evident. His beloved was right in front of him, yet he didn't even look at him. They all said that having a crush on him was the most painful thing to do, not to mention that he was an idiot with no results.

When the door was closed, Shen Hanxin walked in front of Xia Hou Yuying, but before he could react, Shen Hanxin's thin lips had already covered his lips.

"Ugh …" Xia Hou Yuying opened her mouth to stop Shen Hanxin, but instead gave him the best opportunity to do so. His tongue flowed between her lips, creating a fragrant smell as if he wanted to swallow the woman in front of him into his stomach. With one hand, he clamped onto Xia Hou Yuying's snowy neck, causing her eyes to turn red and her teeth to clench.

"Ugh …" Shen Hanxin stepped back, his jade-like fingers caressing the corner of her lips. When he saw the blood on the tip of his finger, her lips couldn't help but curl into a strange smile.

"To be able to destroy such a good state of mind, don't you feel that it's a pity?" Shen Han Xin spoke in a carefree manner, before turning around and sitting in her chair, her sinister eyes unrestrainedly staring at Xia Hou Yu's red and swollen cherry lips.

"What do you want?" Xia Hou Yu Ying said angrily, her eyes were as cold as ice. If she could, she really wanted to cut Shen Han into a thousand pieces.

"Nothing, I just want to know how the beauty is considering." Shen Hanxin said leisurely, not caring about Xia Hou Yuying's murderous gaze.

"If you can't be the crown prince, then this is your life! No one can help you! " Xia Hou Yuying bitterly opened her mouth. Her eyes were cold and fierce.

"Fate? Han Xin only believes in the victory of the heavens, his royal brother dies in battle, his second royal brother is imprisoned in the Underworld Garden, the title of crown prince should be inherited by me, Shen Han Xin! This is fate! " Shen Hanxin's deep eyes darkened even more.

"He should be able to hold that position. Yuying did not see that Mu Wang had the qualifications to sit there!" Xia Hou Yuying snorted. Shen Hanxin was about to get angry, but in the next second, he secretly exhaled a long breath.

"Don't think that this duke doesn't know your scheme. Don't say that there is already a husband and wife between us, if a Japanese king falls, it will definitely pull you down to the ground. Even if nothing happened between us, do you think that Shen Hansheng would choose you to be his crown prince's consort? Don't be too confident! " A faint mocking voice came out from Shen Hanxin's mouth. Xia Hou Yuying could not help but frown as she turned to look at Shen Hanxin.

"What are you trying to say?"

"Now that Shen Hansheng has a peerless beauty by his side, my fourth brother would even give up his life for that woman. What do you think that means? Some people only care about their dreams here, but they don't know that their lover's heart has long been occupied by other women. It's not that you don't have the chance to be the crown prince's consort, unless I'm the crown prince! " Shen Han Xinzhi opened her mouth.

"Nonsense! Han Sheng will not like other women! " Shen Hanxin's words had indeed poked at Xia Hou Yuying's weak spot. Originally, she didn't care, but that was because Shen Hansheng didn't like her, nor did he like other women. Besides, right under her nose, there was no woman who dared to seduce Shen Hansheng unless she was tired of living. However, after not seeing Shen Hansheng for nearly a year, she had no idea what kind of seductive woman would appear beside him.

"Whether or not This King is spouting nonsense, you will soon find out who exactly is the person worth your help. This King's promise has not changed, if you help This King become the crown prince, then the position of the future crown prince's consort and even the empress will be yours!" Shen Han Xin pursed her lips and then stood up to leave, but was stopped by Xia Hou Yu Ying.

"You mean Han Sheng is coming back?" Xia Hou Yuying suddenly asked with unconcealed anticipation in her eyes.

"Yeah …" He was indeed coming back soon, and he would bring his most beloved woman with him! "Han Xin was truly impatient to see that scene. I really don't know how the princess will feel at that time. Princess, remember, no matter how Shen Hansheng treats you, this king's shoulders will be empty for you …" An eerie voice resounded, and Shen Han Xin turned around and left with a sly smile.

Watching Shen Hanxin's figure fade out of his line of sight, Xia Hou Yuying clenched his fists tightly, as a sharp light glinted in his eyes. So what if Shen Hansheng had a woman by his side? She would never let any woman snatch him away from her hands! Just kill him!

When Xia Hou Yu Ying returned to the main hall, Xia Hou Bo had already been waiting for her for a long time.

"I'm finally out!" The low voice contained a trace of worry. Xia Hou Bo's eyes became cold, and he motioned Xia Hou Yu Ying to come to his side.

"Father, you're looking for me for something?" Xia Hou Yuying subconsciously lowered her eyes, afraid to meet his sharp gaze.

"Speak, what happened?" Xia Hou Bo, who had been beaming merrily a moment ago, now had a gaze as sharp as an eagle's.

"Ying'er doesn't know what father is asking about?" Xia Hou Yuying pretended to be puzzled.

"Ying`er, Royal Father only wants to ask you, who exactly do you like among the Mu King and the Han King? Shen Hanxin? Shen Hansheng? " Xia Hou Bo looked at his daughter, who had been spoiled daintily by him. In the entire Southern Yue, no one had ever dared to bully his daughter, not even when Shen Hanxin said he would save her.

"Father …" Xia Hou Yuying did not expect Xia Hou Bo to ask her such a straightforward question. Her cheeks were immediately dyed red, and when she lowered her eyes, Shen Hansheng's unparalleled beauty flashed in her mind.

"There are no outsiders here. Royal father wants to hear the truth, and now that the competition for the position of crown prince is becoming clearer, the Second Prince has yet to die and no longer has the qualifications to compete with Mu King and Duke Han. The reason Royal father is still neutral even now, is all because of you!" Xia Hou Bo looked at his daughter lovingly.

"Ying`er, I hope that Royal Father can help Han Sheng …" Xia Hou Yuying opened her mouth implacably, but the pleading look in her eyes was enough to express her yearning. Xia Hou Bo couldn't help but sigh.

"Your father has long seen through your thoughts. Normally, he would openly and secretly speak up for the Emperor. However, from the beginning till now, the Southern Yue has always had its own lines. Even though the Emperor is considering it now, it will not be easy for him to become the crown prince." Xia Hou Bo frowned. Compared to Shen Hanxin, he was more inclined towards Shen Hansheng. Not only because he was the love of Xia Hou Yuying, but also because he was superior to Shen Hanxin in every aspect.

"Royal Father! You must have a way! " Xia Hou Yu Ying grabbed Xia Hou Bo's arm like a spoiled child and was unwilling to let him go.

"Are you sure that you can become the Crown Prince's consort if Shen Hansheng becomes the Crown Prince?" Xia Hou Bo asked seriously.

"Ying'er is confident!" Xia Hou Yuying nodded her head furiously. It didn't matter if Shen Hansheng was the crown prince or not, she had only recognized this man. As for the women around him, she had her own ways to exterminate them all.

"That's fine! So Royal Father will find a chance to speak with the Emperor. It's just that whether he succeeds or fails will depend on what kind of great achievement he has accomplished on this trip to the Badlands. " Xia Houbo nodded slightly, deep in thought.
