Chapter 376 - Solitary Men and Women, Living In One Room
Seeing that Guo Xiang wanted to step forward to teach Yue Er a lesson, Wu Shang suddenly reached out and grabbed his sleeves. He walked past Guo Xiang and said respectfully to Yue Er: “This subordinate greets the princess, but since Your Highness is not here, if the princess is looking for you, why don’t we come back another day.”
“No!” Since I have come, I should see my royal brother before I leave. Otherwise, I will temporarily stay at Prince Jing’s Manor’s place. ”
Wu Shang frowned, a fierce look sweeping past his eyes, “Yes, Princess.”
Just like that, Yue Er, like a rascal, relied on her identity as the princess to stay in Prince Jing’s Manor. Guo Xiang glared at Wu Shang, grumbling along the way: “How can you let her in so easily?”
“The Master had sent people to look for her for so many days, but they had yet to receive any news from her. Since she has delivered herself to us, we can only leave her in the manor.”
After Guo Xiang heard this, she raised his head and said, “Are you saying that …”
“Yes, just like you think. Master didn’t even put Emperor in her eyes, so how could she be afraid of a wild princess? Although I do not know how Yue Er became a princess, but this time she may not be able to return. ”
It was only then that Guo Xiang realized what had happened. She did not expect that the honest Wu Shang had become as cunning as Helian Yi! The corner of his mouth raised into a happy smile, and he held his stomach with one hand as he looked at Wu Shang, he did not know who the child looked like, but Guo Xiang hoped that the child would be like Wu Shang in the future, becoming handsome and smart.
Very quickly, the carriage left the city and arrived at the 100 li radius peach forest. Guo Xiang looked at the beautiful scenery in front of her, her mood exceptionally clear, she got off the carriage and walked into the peach forest, turning her head to look at Wu Shang behind her, her face filled with a happy smile. If it were like this in the future, how great would it be …
He shouted at Wu Shang: “Wu Shang, come and chase me!”
Wu Shang frowned, he smirked and warned Guo Xiang to be careful, the two of them were chasing and playing around in the peach forest, it was like a beautiful painting, making people unable to bear to disturb them.
However, things often went against one’s wishes. There were always blind people who came to ruin this beautiful scene. Seeing that, Wu Shang stopped and looked at the man approaching in alarm, protecting Guo Xiang behind him.
Guo Xiang was startled when she saw the newcomer. Just as the black clothed man was about to take the letter from his chest, Wu Shang’s flying dagger had already flew towards the black clothed man. Guo Xiang was shocked, the black clothed man was also startled for a moment, and instantly dodged Wu Shang’s flying blade. When Wu Shang was about to shoot the second blade, Guo Xiang anxiously stopped him.
“Wu Shang, stop!”
Wu Shang frowned in puzzlement. Could it be that this black-clothed man knew who Xiang’er was? As expected, just as Wu Shang was in a daze, Guo Xiang said to the black-clothed man in an anxious voice:
“Uncle Nan, why are you here?”
The person who came was Prince Guo’s trusted aide, Nan Chen! Seeing that Guo Xiang recognized him, Nan Chen did not continue hiding his identity. He took off his veil, and a cold face appeared in front of the two of them. Wu Shang looked at Nan Chen, and when he saw the scar on his nose, he suddenly remembered this man’s identity.
Prince Guo’s people are here, are they here for Xiang’er? Suddenly, he started to worry, Nan Chen glanced at Guo Xiang, then looked at Wu Shang, and coldly said to Wu Shang: You are Prince Jing’s Manor’s leader, Wu Shang?
Wu Shang was startled, so they already knew of their leader who carried that name, and they nodded slightly towards Nan Chen in agreement, but Nan Chen suddenly laughed out loud, causing Wu Shang to feel extremely nervous. Why is this man so temperamental? As far as he knew, Nan Chen was a cold, arrogant, ruthless and was a rare general.
Seeing Wu Shang like that, Guo Xiang glanced at Nan Chen and reminded him unhappily, “Uncle Nan, don’t tease Wu Shang! Aren’t you afraid that Xiang’er will be unhappy!? ”
Nan Chen’s laughter suddenly stopped, he extended his hand and scratched the bridge of Guo Xiang’s nose: “You stinking girl, giving yourself to this stinking brat for nothing? Eh? You actually carried the Duke on your back and snuck into the Ming You Kingdom, and still lied to others while Prince Jing’s Manor did not leave, your father’s face has been completely thrown away by you! ”
Guo Xiang rolled her eyes at Nan Chen. She naturally knew that she had gone too far, but since her father didn’t agree to her request, she could only do so. Furthermore, she had to ascertain Wu Shang’s feelings for her, otherwise, she definitely would not leave Ming You Kingdom, and Prince Jing’s Manor.
Seeing that, Nan Chen continued: “Little girl, do you know how many letters that brat Helian Yi sent to the Duke?”
Guo Xiang was stunned, wasn’t it just two? Could it be three times? Seeing Guo Xiang’s curiosity, Nan Chen sighed, and said: “That brat asked her subordinate to send twenty-eight letters to the Duke! Let the Fusang Kingdom send someone to bring you back! ”
“What?” This Helian Yi! ” Guo Xiang was so furious, she kept saying why Wu Shang kept saying he would send her back, it turned out to be this Helian Yi. However, she did not know that Helian Yi had only done all these to provoke Prince Guo to speak and keep Guo Xiang here.
Nan Chen laughed, “The prince was angered by this brat, so he ordered the people of the palace that no one is allowed to go to the Ming You Kingdom to bring you back, let’s see if he can chase you away! No matter what, you are still Prince Guo’s beloved daughter, how could you be bullied like this by Prince Jing’s Manor’s people? ”
As Wu Shang listened to the conversation between the two, he suddenly understood what was going on. So it turns out that the intention of the Master was to create a place for him and Xiang’er …
No wonder he was constantly ordered to send Guo Xiang back at that time, and his attitude was not very firm. No wonder he was given the position of a leader. It was because he was worthy of Xiang’er’s identity …
Master! At the moment, Wu Shang was extremely grateful to Helian Yi.
Coming back to his senses, Wu Shang looked at Nan Chen and called out respectfully: “Senior!”
Nan Chen and Guo Xiang happened to be chatting at the right time, and upon hearing Wu Shang’s voice, he frowned, and looked him up and down.
This kid seemed a bit dumb, but the news that he brought back with his scouts was very considerate towards Xiang’er.
Nodding to Wu Shang, he responded. Seeing that, Guo Xiang turned to Nan Chen and said unhappily.
“Uncle Nan, what’s with your attitude?” No matter what, Wu Shang will always be my consort. If he calls you senior, you should at least give him a greeting gift. Isn’t that the rule of our Fusang Kingdom?! ”
This girl, before she got married, she had already gone outside! Nan Chen gently glared at Guo Xiang, and before he could give it to Wu Shang, he saw Wu Shang anxiously reject him.
“Thank you senior, it’s just that Wu Shang cannot afford such a huge gift.”
Nan Chen replied coldly, “You brat, do you really think this is for you?”
Wu Shang was confused, he looked at Nan Chen and stood there awkwardly, he thought that this was given to him.
Guo Xiang looked at the jade pendant, wasn’t that the jade that her father gifted to her mother?
Just when he was curious, Nan Chen threw the Sheep Fat Jade Pendant into Wu Shang’s arms. Wu Shang caught it and heard Nan Chen’s voice.
“This jade pendant is a token of love from the prince. This old man will give it to you now, and I hope that one day you will treat Xiang’er the way the prince treats his wife.”
