Chapter 90
As soon as Lin Ting An returned to Marquis Anping's Manor, Lin Qing came to report that King Huainan was here.
Why did he come in person? While Lin Ting An was surprised, King Huainan had already walked in.
"Surnamed Shen had already left Lu Prefecture and went to the capital." King Huainan sat down. These were his first words. Then he expressed his dissatisfaction, "Just leak the news to the Ghost King Sect, let them capture the person, and kill her. Why did you insist on some kind of hero save the beauty act?
Now what happened? "
Lin Qing brought tea to the two of them. Lin Ting An took a sip, "If you kill her, Commissioner-in-chief Shen would indeed be sad. But since he can like one, he can like a second. It can’t be that you want to kill all the women in the world?
Wouldn't it be more satisfying to snatch the person and let him be unable to get what he wished and suffer every day?"
"You make it sound pretty." King Huainan snorted. But was it successfully implemented?
"Crown prince and Sixth Prince have been fighting for so many years without distinguishing who is superior. This is only the beginning. King, have you decided on the matter I told you before?" Lin Ting An had written to King Huainan and it wasn’t for Jiang Yun Zhu's matter.
"Whoever avenges my son, I will support whoever on taking that seat." King Huainan coldly stated. When it comes to imperial matter, no matter who asks, this was the condition.
"King, don't you think you got the order wrong? The top priority now is for Sixth Prince to remove the crown prince first. When Sixth Prince gains power, he will naturally not keep that person." Lin Ting An said.
King Huainan rolled his eyelids. He didn't care about these things, he only wanted revenge.
There was silence in the living room for a while, Lin Ting An asked, "Since Commissioner-in-chief Shen has left, what's King's plan?"
"I'll go back to the capital tomorrow." King Huainan replied.
"Okay, then we’ll meet again in the capital." Lin Ting An said.
King Huainan looked at him. Why? He was also going to the capital?
It went without saying Lin Ting An was going. As he said, the key to everything was in the capital. Moreover, Jiang Yun Zhu disappeared. He guessed that she must have entered the capital as well.
They were all gone. What was the point of him being in charge of the world in Lu Prefecture?
"Then see you in the capital." King Huainan left behind this sentence, got up, and left.
When he arrived at the gate of the Marquis Anping’s Manor, he was about to get in the carriage when he saw a female kneeling there.
The female was fifteen-sixteen years old, with an apricot face and peach cheeks. Kneeling there with frowning brows and red eyes, it was charming with a hint of sadness. She looked very pitiful.
King Huainan stopped and walked toward the female.
This female was none other than Jiang Yun Xiu. Jiang Yun Zhu had left. While Lin Ting An returned to Lu Prefecture. She wanted to return to Marquis Anping Manor. But when she came back, she found out that both Gao Shun and Mrs. Zhou had been kicked out of the Manor. And she had a lot of interaction with them. That’s why she couldn't enter the Manor anymore.
Without a choice, she could only kneel here and beg Lin Ting An, hoping that he would take pity on her.
King Huainan came over. She didn't know him, but she could guess he was some sort of nobleman by the looks of his clothes.
She greeted him. Because she had been overstimulated for the past two days, her voice was soft.
King Huainan had lost his son. Now he liked misses who were so delicate that they seemed to squeeze out water when he pinched them. He hoped that their young bodies could give him a son.
"It's a hot day and you’re kneeling here." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to help Jiang Yun Xiu.
Jiang Yun Xiu was startled, but soon realized that this nobleman was interested in her. This made her terrified, but vaguely happy. Lin Ting An treated her sternly. Even Xu Qing Shan despised her. It had made her feel very frustrated.
This nobleman was immediately attracted to her. It goes to show that her beauty wasn't inferior to others.
It was just that this nobleman was too old. He was almost old enough to be her grandfather.
She preferred Lin Ting An.
So she quickly avoided King Huainan's hand.
In the eyes of King Huainan, she seemed to be refusing in order to welcome. It made his heart itched even more. He asked his entourage to tell Lin Ting An that it would be better to send this female to him. It would be a perfect way to pass the time on the way back to the capital.
The entourage went in. Soon Lin Qing came out. He was accompanied by two beautiful maids. This was Lin Ting An’s gift to King Huainan.
As for Jiang Yun Xiu, Lin Ting Anstill had some use for her.
"Just want someone from him and he pushes back and forth like this." As King Huainan was about to lose his temper, the two beautiful maids supported him on the left and right, and comforted him softly.
King Huainan’s mind was quickly attracted. Still when he parted, he didn’t forget to glance at Jiang Yun Xiu.
It didn't have to be Jiang Yun Xiu. Sometimes, what one couldn't get was the best.
King Huainan left. Jiang Yun Xiu felt lost and soon picked herself up. Lin Ting An kept her, didn't he?
Half a month passed in a blink of an eye. Jiang Yun Zhu finally arrived outside the capital this day after traveling on the road.
"Official Shen, let's part here." When the outline of the capital was in sight in the distance, Jiang Yun Zhu opened the curtain of the carriage and directed to Shen Feng Ming.
Shen Feng Ming reined in the horse, "Miss Jiang, do you have a place to stay now you’re in the capital?"
No. Stay at the inn until a place was rented. That was what Jiang Yun Zhu planned.
"I have a villa in the capital. Miss Jiang can live there temporarily." Shen Feng Ming said.
"This……"
"Although the imperial examinations are over, the results haven’t been released yet. The candidates are still in the capital. It may be difficult to find vacant rooms in the inns." Shen Feng Ming stated.
Jiang Yun Zhu forgot about this.
"I don't live in the villa at all. What does Miss Jiang worry about?" Shen Feng Ming asked, "Didn't I live in your place before?"
With this question, Jiang Yun Zhu couldn't refute. If she couldn't find a place to live, should she sleep on the street? If he finds out then… Just thinking about it was already embarrassing to the max.
"Then thank you, Official Shen. I'll borrow it for a few days. Once I find a place, I'll move out immediately." Jiang Yun Zhu responded.
Shen Feng Ming gave the address of that villa. Then he watched her depart.
As expected, the capital was bustling and lively. As soon as they entered the city gate, they could see densely packed people in all streets and three markets.
Jiang Yun Zhu lifted the curtain of the carriage and observed the side. Comparing the scene on the street with the memory in the dream, there were similarities as well as great differences.
She was watching it with great interest, when suddenly a group of people came.
In a place like the capital city, when a plaque falls and hits three people and two of them may be relatives of the emperor. The common people have lived here for a long time and were used to it. Seeing this group of people, they all moved aside, waiting for them to pass. Once they passed, they moved.
Jiang Yun Zhu's carriage stopped by the side of the road.
At this time, the team of people and horses had already come over. In front were a few tall horses and servants. Then followed by a carriage. The carriage was different from ordinary carriages. It had clear jades and precious cover. Imperial bells hung under the corner. One look and one can tell it was female. It was the vehicle of an extremely noble and valuable female.
"It's Princess Lechang, Xiao Li Yu. She is sixteen years old this year. Her biological mother is Noble Concubine Wu. She’s the younger sister of Sixth Prince." Shi Liu recognized who was in the carriage at a glance and explained to Jiang Yun Zhu. What she didn't say was that Noble Concubine Wu always wanted to marry Xiao Li Yu to Shen Feng Ming, but Shen Feng Ming didn't agree.
Jiang Yun Zhu didn't know Xiao Li Yu well. In her dream, when she came to the capital, Xiao Li Yu was already married.
She didn't think too much and waited there.
However, that procession stopped, as if something happened.
For a long time, the convoy didn't move forward.
The people waiting beside them didn't dare to make a sound. They only hoped that the noble would leave soon so that they could make a living.
At this moment, someone came from the other side of the street. Shen Feng Ming brought a group of people back to the capital.
Many people in the capital were familiar with Qilin Guard's attire. Seeing this, they lowered their heads even lower, for fear of getting into trouble.
Shen Feng Ming saw Jiang Yun Zhu's carriage parked there from a long distance away and saw her looking out with the curtain lifted. He frowned slightly.
"Elder Cousin Brother." Xiao Li Yu finally waited for Shen Feng Ming’s arrival and immediately got someone to lift the curtain. She directed to Shen Feng Ming.
It had been several months since she saw Shen Feng Ming. He was wearing a white brocade robe today. Oh, his eyes were sharp. And that face, no matter how many times she looked at that face, she was dazzled.
"It wasn't appropriate for Princess to block the road like this." Shen Feng Ming only stated.
Xiao Li Yu had a girlish nature. When she suddenly saw her crush, she was about to express her feelings. Unforeseen, the other party would come up and question her.
She angrily declared, "This road is the road of my Great Xia Dynasty. I am the Princess of the Xia Dynasty. What's wrong with me here?"
"'The people are the most important, the state is second, and the emperor is the last.'" Shen Feng Ming said.
"You!" Xiao Li Yu felt angry and aggrieved. She was the daughter of Noble Concubine Wu. Since she was a child, she was pampered. He was the only one who spoke coldly to her . If it were another person, she would have someone capture him and punish him right there and then.
She didn't look at him. Nor did she move. Just stayed there to see what he would do.
Shen Feng Ming raised his hand. The Qilin guards behind him immediately moved forward. They didn't care if the other party was a princess or not. As long as the Chief ordered, they would carry it out.
Seeing this scene from the corner of Xiao Li Yu's eyes, she was a little scared. Shen Feng Ming could do such a thing. And it just happened that if he did, she couldn’t cry and complain to Concubine Mother or Royal Father as it had no effect. This was the most annoying thing.
Just as the conflict was about to occur, one person and one horse rode over at this time. He stopped between the two processions and asked Xiao Li Yu with a smile, "Is Princess going out of the city?"
It was Yang Sheng. His pair of slightly long peach blossom eyes were shining brightly.
Seeing him, Xiao Li Yu became even more annoyed. Everyone in the capital knew that Shen Feng Ming wasn't close to women. As for the reason, half of the people guessed that he might have a hidden disease and was incapable. The other half guessed that he liked men.
A place like the Division had a lot of men.
Especially this Yang Sheng, the eldest of General Zhen Guo. Instead of going to the battlefield, he joined the Division. He and Shen Feng Ming were inseparable every day... Shen Feng Ming seemed to treat him differently from others.
"Where this princess goes is none of your business." Xiao Li Yu glared at Yang Sheng. Then she directed the accompanying entourage, "Back to the palace."
The convoy immediately turned around and headed toward the palace.
Yang Sheng originally came to mediate the conflict and ended up being glared as well as getting envied. He only felt that the way of heaven was so unfair.
He wanted to turn his head and complain to Shen Feng Ming when he saw Jiang Yun Zhu by the roadside and he couldn't help raising his eyebrow in joy.
When he looked at Shen Feng Ming again, his eyes were teasing. The translation of that meaning was, bravo, he finally brought the other party back.
But Shen Feng Ming completely ignored him and rode forward.
"Hey." Yang Sheng quickly followed. He had a stomach full of bitterness to tell him. During his absence, it was hard for him. Look at him, he had lost a lot of weight. Now that the person had finally been brought back, at least one meal must be cooked for him. No, it should be many days of deliciousness.
When the two of them left, Qilin Guards left.
Soon, the streets returned to normal.
Those who didn't know Shen Feng Ming asked others quietly. After knowing who he was, they were speechless. This was Commissioner-in-chief Shen! They've heard that he was as cold and stern as an iceberg and not close to women. Looking at him now, it was true.
He didn't even give the Princess face. That was the delicate, noble, precious, beautiful, and heavenly Princess.
It could be seen that the rumor should be true.
Just don't know if he had an unmentionable illness or if he likes men?
Judging from just now, it was very likely that he liked men.
Look at that very handsome man...
Though everyone didn't say anything, they all had such thoughts in their hearts and eyes.
Shi Liu harrumphed. Their Chief didn't like men and his body was very strong!
Thinking of this, she snuck a glance at Jiang Yun Zhu.
Yeah, rogue.
