Chapter 96: Chapter 94: My Lord, You Must Trust the Princess Consort
In the pavilion, the jade-green water meets the vast sky, sunlight pouring over the city.
Behind the rockery, a chill wind blows, murderous intent swirling in the air.
Feng Xuan raised a hand to wipe the cold sweat from the corner of his eye, silently glancing at the back of his master. Clearly dressed in white, as pure as snow, he should exude immortal energy, yet he emanates an aura of killing intent, intimidating all who look upon him.
Speaking of which, since when did my master develop the habit of eavesdropping?!
All these years, I never noticed!
If he’s going to listen, so be it, but every time he listens, he ends up radiating an alarming aura of killing intent...
And that Miss Shen, really! Doesn’t do anything all day, just keeps thinking about luring away someone else’s princess!
Even coming up with such a wicked idea as mountain bandits kidnapping! No wonder my master keeps emanating killing intent...
"Master, you must trust the princess! She won’t leave with Miss Shen! If she really wanted to leave, she would’ve done so yesterday, she wouldn’t wait until now."
Feng Xuan risked his life to comfort his master, only to receive two cold, emotionless words in response:
"Shut up."
Feng Xuan: "..." Alright! I know you’re in a bad mood!
In the pavilion, Yun Ran looked up at the sky, silently thinking to herself:
Since yesterday, the name ’Shen Mubai’ has been like a demonic sound invading her ears, echoing endlessly.
Shen Weixi and Nangong Mo, the two of them seemed to have conspired, taking turns mentioning this name in her ear.
Now she’s tempted to go and meet this Shen Mubai!
Young general? He must be quite wealthy! It would be a disservice if she didn’t rob him thoroughly for betraying Lin Wanyue.
Yun Ran, lost in her dreams of fortune, was seen by Shen Weixi in a different light.
She bit her lip, feeling some frustration at Yun Ran’s lack of ambition, but still indulged her, "Yue’er, if you really can’t let go of that bastard, I’ll find a chance to knock him out and take him away with us!"
"Then would you be willing to leave with me?"
Yun Ran: "???"
Yun Ran: "..."
She was completely dumbfounded, staring at Shen Weixi in disbelief.
What does this mean? Running away with an old lover and a bosom friend?!
Behind the rockery, the murderous intent surged, the air temperature dropping to freezing.
Feng Xuan shivered from the icy killing aura, "Master, calm down! Calm down! Miss Shen was just speaking, the princess won’t leave you and Shen..."
The rest of Feng Xuan’s words were frozen back into his stomach by a look from Nangong Mo.
A figure flashed, drifting in front of the stone wall: I’m wrong! I’m reflecting! I’m facing the wall!
Yun Ran, having finally summoned back her scattered soul, grabbed Shen Weixi’s hand, "Weixi! Calm down! Don’t act impulsively! Impulse is the devil!"
"I’ve long let go of that bastard Shen Mubai! If you’re really going to run away with him and me, you might as well find something to knock me out and be done with it."
Shen Weixi looked at her doubtfully, half-believing, "Are you serious? You’ve really let him go?"
"I’m serious! Let go so completely that I can barely remember Shen Mubai’s bastard face now!"
Shen Weixi stared at her face, her eyes for a while, seeing she didn’t seem to be lying, she couldn’t help but feel somewhat relieved and said:
"That’s right! Why insist on Shen Mubai when there are so many other good men? Once we leave the capital, I’ll find you ten or eight handsome men, each more beautiful than Pan An and more charming than Song Yu, for you to choose!
Yun Ran: "..."
Find?... Does she want to make her a mountain queen to gather husbands?
Yun Ran reached out and pinched her slightly stiff face, "Weixi..."
"To avoid arousing King Qin’s suspicion, tell him about going to pray and burn incense three days later; the seventh day is the fifteenth, and we shall set our plan for that day."
"Yue’er, what were you going to say to me just now?"
Yun Ran: "..."
