591 Giving a Beauty a Flower (2)
However, today, there was someone in the boat frozen in the middle of the water.
Xie Changwu sat in the boat and rubbed his hands uneasily. Perhaps it was because he felt guilty, or perhaps it was because Xie Changchao said that Shen Xin’s people were still investigating in the dark that he felt a little nervous, so he did not dare to light the stove to warm himself up. He was already wearing very heavy clothes, but it was still cold, especially when he was near the water.
Xie Changwu looked out of the boat and was a little anxious when he did not see anyone.
In the letter, Xie Changchao said that they would meet in the pleasure boat at Wanli Lake late at night. He said that the capital was infiltrated with Shen Xin’s spies everywhere. It was even more dangerous outside. However, in winter, no one would go to Wanli Lake, so they would be safe. At that time, he would bring a few people and let Princess Ming An see Shen Miao being humiliated with her own eyes. Princess Ming An would naturally be happy. The wind on the lake was strong, and the restaurant closest to the lake was closed. No one would notice anything. They had the perfect condition to carry out the plan.
Xie Changwu was a little unwilling to come, but since Xie Changchao had already arranged everything, he could only accept it. However, as midnight approached, he still didn’t see anyone coming. He could not help but be a little anxious.
Just as he was thinking, he heard a slight movement outside. Xie Changwu was startled. Then, he opened the window of the boat happily and saw a figure vaguely approaching from afar carrying something on his back. Xie Changwu thought that it must be Xie Changchao carrying Shen Miao. He heaved a sigh of relief and walked to the bow to receive him.
That person walked closer and closer. When he got closer, Xie Changwu felt that something was wrong. Xie Changchao was not as tall as this person, and his figure did not look like him. Xie Changwu felt uneasy and was about to retreat when he saw the other party light a match. A familiar voice sounded, “Xie Changwu, what are you doing!”
Xie Changwu looked over in shock and saw that it was a person who looked like a guard. On his back was Princess Ming An.
At this moment, Princess Ming An was clearly very unhappy.
The letter Xie Changwu sent her said that they would meet at Lake Wanli at midnight. The State of Qin was warm all year round, so she was not used to the freezing winter in Ming Qi, and now, her entire body was shivering from the cold. Afraid of being discovered by Huangfu Hao, Princess Ming An could only go out quietly at night with a few of her personal guards. However, the place Xie Changwu chose was on the pleasure boat, so she could only get a guard to carry her over and leave the others ashore. If not for the fact that she wanted to see Shen Miao suffer today, she would not force herself to do this. When she saw Xie Changwu, she immediately flew into rage and took her anger out on him.
Xie Changwu asked, “Your Highness, why are you here?”
“Xie Changwu, are you crazy?” Princess Ming An said angrily, “Didn’t you ask me to come over to witness Shen Miao being humiliated? What nonsense are you talking about now?”
Xie Changwu was a little puzzled. Although Xie Changchao’s letter indeed mentioned that he wanted to invite Princess Ming An over to watch the show, Xie Changwu was careful. He was afraid that something would happen halfway and Princess Ming An would be implicated. Moreover, the plan was not foolproof. If Princess Ming An came but Shen Miao wasn’t humiliated, wouldn’t Princess Ming An become even angrier? Therefore, Xie Changwu did not intend to invite Princess Ming An.
However, Princess Ming An appeared here now and said that Xie Changwu asked her to come. For some reason, Xie Changwu felt a strong sense of uneasiness.
Seeing the confusion on Xie Changwu’s face, Princess Ming An became even more angry and said, “Xie Changwu, are you playing with me?”
