The Captivating Crown Prince

(137) Nangong Qian Hidden Agenda

It was still snowing heavily when Nangong Qian and his men came to Shang State. However, when they returned, the ice and snow had started to melt. Among their group, there were many more subordinates of the crown prince.

Nangong Qian’s subordinates could clearly feel that the prince’s mood was anxious when he came, but when he returned, he seemed to be very carefree. They didn’t know if it was because they had been mistaken, but they felt that the prince was in a very good mood these days. Even if someone committed a small mistake, the prince would not reprimand them.

Nangong Qian and Shang Wuxin were not in the mood. As for Nangong Lian, because she was very close with Lin Jia Er, she didn’t want to go back, and Nangong Qian also didn’t want to have a little sister on the way back, so he let her play with him. At that time, Nangong Lian was still preparing to rub Nangong Qian’s forehead thinking that her big brother must have a fever.

Shang Wuxin looked at Nangong Qian strangely, she was familiar with the carriage. After all, it was very normal for Nangong Qian to sit in a carriage for so many times, but from what she could remember, the carriage’s secret compartment did not contain dried fruits, so when did he put them in?

Nangong Qian seemed to have seen through Prince Shang’s doubt. He placed the dried fruit on a plate and explained, “I heard from Han Xuanhao that you like to eat some dried fruits and snacks in the carriage, so I had my servant buy some!” Although he felt that it was rare for a man to eat these sour and sweet things, it was natural for Prince Shang to eat them.

Shang Wuxin took the dried fruit and put it into her mouth. As expected, she liked the taste of the fruit. Although her usual demeanor and poise had played such a good role for a young man, these little hobbies were still filled with the interest of a woman. Han Xuanhao was indeed meticulous, and since Han Xuanhao knew of her woman’s identity, Shang Wuxin was less worried about her in front of Han Xuanhao.

“Xuanhao? Nangong and Xuanhao’s relationship is not bad?” After all, a few days ago, someone was still whispering bad things about Nangong Qian to her. Why did the two of them seem to be on the same side in the blink of an eye?

Nangong Qian looked at Prince Shang’s questioning look and wanted to say that he had a good relationship with that sissy Han Xuanhao. It would be good if he didn’t beat him up, but Nangong Qian wasn’t someone who liked to speak ill of others. Furthermore, Han Xuanhao and Prince Shang had a relationship that day, so if he were to slander Han Xuanhao, Prince Shang would probably feel disgusted with him.

“Mn, my relationship with Xuanhao is not bad!” Nangong Qian suppressed the disgust in his heart and said.

Even though Shang Wuxin was surprised, she did not ask about it. She looked outside the carriage window and discovered that they were not heading back to the country of Nangong. Even though she was suspicious and vigilant, she did wait for Nangong’s humble arrangements.

Nangong Qian was happy that Prince Shang didn’t ask anything. After all, people like them were extremely vigilant. Now that he had changed his route, it was too abrupt. However, he wanted to give Crown Prince Shang a surprise. However, seeing Prince Shang today was the greatest surprise. This meant that in the heart of Prince Shang, he was a little trustworthy. However, he would not ask about it. It was a pity that Prince Shang did not give him this opportunity.

Since they did not take the main road but the small road, the road was not very comfortable. At this time, Shang Bin, Nangong Qian and company, passed by a town, which was also where they would stay tonight. They were all disguised as merchants this time, going out to do business. With so many of them, no one would doubt them.

“Master!” Young Master Nangong!”

Shang Wuxin didn’t have any fear when she came out this time. She had planned to bring the Wu Ju and Wu Wei along, but since she didn’t have the heart to worry about the training grounds, she left the Wu Wei behind in the capital city with General Jiang and two hundred soldiers of the Blood Shang Army. However, a portion of them disguised as merchants followed behind her, while another portion disguised as commoners to protect the crown prince from any danger.
