The Captivating Crown Prince

Chapter 73

Shang Wuxin and Nangong Qian sat on the second floor of the Tower for the entire morning. Although they did not speak and only sat there reading the books they were interested in, it was rare for both of them to have no interest in each other.

“Does this humble king wish to return to the crown prince’s residence or to dine out?” As the host, Shang did not have the heart to ask.

Prince Qian thought about how he would spend time with Prince Shang when he returned to the crown prince’s mansion. Even if he didn’t know that Prince Shang rarely appeared, it was the Godly Doctor Ye Yizhe who would always stare at him all the time, making him feel helpless. Nangong Qian had never felt so restrained yet willing.

“Although the chefs in the crown prince’s residence are not bad, since this king and Prince Shang have come out, I might as well go have a drink!” Nangong Qian suggested. Previously, he had always been the one issuing orders, but now he needed to suggest a meal. The more he was with Prince Shang, the more Nangong Qian felt that he was apologetic towards this young man.

Shang Wuxin nodded and the two stood up. The attendants of the Under Heaven Tower went up and tidied up the tables and chairs, then led the two of them respectfully downstairs. This was the first time in the history of the Under Heaven Tower that they treated a person with such respect.

Shang Wuxin looked at the attentive but not flattering manservant, wondering who the owner of this residence was. Did he really know her? What was more important was whether he was going downstairs to help or to resist.

The two of them had just descended the stairs when they heard the sound. Although no one was allowed to cause a ruckus in the Under Heaven Pavilion, a normal discussion was still quite normal. However, this was not normal, as some of the young masters of the Shangguan family were wearing the usual cold robes.

“Yo!” Isn’t this Young Master Leng from the Leng Residence in the capital? ” A man was standing around Leng Zi, constantly sizing him up, “I wonder what Young Master Leng is wearing like this today? What is he trying to do?” “Could it be that Young Master Leng has lived a comfortable life and wants to become an attendant?”

“That’s right!” Young Master Leng’s clothes were really strange! This Young Master usually blinks at such lowly clothes! ” The other man laughed. Although they were all mocking him, their voices were controlled, so they did not make a ruckus. Moreover, those who were able to enter the Under Heaven Tower were either the young master butler or a cultured person. There was at least some etiquette to it, but the inside was unknown.

Normally, he would have the status of a young master of the Leng Residence, and his big brother’s battle achievements were great. His appearance was also exquisite and cute, making people feel close to him. Even if he was just a bastard, no one would look down on him no matter where he went.

“Hey!” When a man came to Leng Zi’s side, he gently pushed her. If this wasn’t a place where the entire world was afraid of, then it wouldn’t be such a light push. “Since when did Young Master Leng become so cowardly!” “It can’t be that he turned into a grandson after not seeing Young Master Leng for a few days, right?”

As Shang Wuxin and Nangong Qian stood there looking at Leng Zi, looking at her with reddened eyes, looking at her clenched fist but holding back, looking at her fearless standing there coldly and ignoring her.

Nangong Qian looked at Prince Shang who was standing beside him. He needed to lower his head to see the expression on Prince Shang’s face. It was as if he was enveloped by a halo of light. If it wasn’t for the cold smile on his face, people would have thought that he was an immortal descending from the heavens. Looking at the thin and short Prince Shang, Nangong Qian thought that many women were more plump than Prince Shang. If he hadn’t felt Prince Shang’s pulse back then, he would not have suspected anything.

Nangong Qian thought about how he had sat in the pavilion for an entire morning and found it unbelievable. He had never had the same sort of elegant and refined interest since he was young. In his eyes, there was only power and status. However, when he sat with Prince Shang and read those books, he did not study for the sake of becoming strong, but rather simply to read them. He felt a warm and peaceful feeling that he really liked it.

At this moment, Nangong Qian had a bold thought. By the time he managed to react, he would be drenched in cold sweat. How could he possibly …

“Enough! Don’t go too far!” When Leng Zi saw the undisguised mockery on the faces of the crowd, no matter how good his character was, he couldn’t help but feel a little angry. It was not like he had never been bullied by these people before, but at that time, he was wearing a brocade robe and was not in such a sorry state.

“I wonder which little servant Young Master Leng is serving as!” One of the men said without a care, “That person really doesn’t know how to look. He actually told Young Master Leng to be his manservant. Is he not afraid that Young Master Leng, that pretty boy, will faint?”

Shang Wuxin’s expressionless face suddenly broke into an evil smile. Originally, it was impossible for Leng Zi to be bullied or insulted, but these people actually wanted to provoke him, he did not mind playing around.

After hearing the man’s words, fearless was a bit angry. Although she knew she couldn’t attack him in the Under Heaven Tower, as long as this man left the tower, she would definitely teach him a lesson.

“I don’t even know when anyone can talk about me behind my back?” Shang Wuxin walked slowly into the crowd’s line of sight. Her white robes were heavy with pressure, causing the men’s faces to turn white.

“Crown Prince!” Several men shouted in disbelief. When they thought about what they had just said, they immediately understood that Leng Zi had climbed up the tree and had become the crown prince’s manservant. The Crown Prince was a well-known figure in the capital. However, it was rare for him to become the Crown Prince.

Leng Zi was moved to see the crown prince who had suddenly appeared just like her savior. (Where did your eyes see the crown prince coming to save you?!) His eyes, which were as red as a rabbit’s, became even redder. He quickly walked to the side of the crown prince and looked at the crown prince, who was even shorter than him. His voice was filled with a sense of reliance towards the “crown prince!”

Although these men were a bit afraid of the Crown Prince, they felt a bit more at ease when they thought about the fact that this was a place where even the crown prince couldn’t do anything.

“Please forgive me, Crown Prince. I am just casually saying. Please do not bicker with me!” The man who spoke just now lowered his head and said. Although he really wanted to bow down, this was a place where only the people of the world would be happy if they offended the people of the world.

The man had some brains, pleading for forgiveness but forcing the crown prince to forgive him. It would have been fine if other people had obstructed his reputation, but Shang Wuxin did not care about that, and now he came to the side of the crown prince and said softly, “This man is Imperial Concubine Qin’s nephew, he has been following behind the first prince!”

Shang Wuxin’s gaze shifted and she understood the meaning of fear. She was telling herself that this person no longer had any backing to move. Shang was very satisfied with his fearless and increasingly clever methods, but today, he would not let this man go no matter how powerful he was. She did not have the patience to see others live their lives with a straight face.

“I’m not over sixteen years old this year, and I’m not an adult, nor am I a prodigy!” Shang did not seem interested in speaking seriously, but then he nodded nonchalantly, indicating that he was right.

Everyone was confused. Was the crown prince laughing? But this joke was so cold!

Nangong Qian’s pursed lips were slightly raised. He didn’t know that Prince Shang would be so naughty, but Prince Shang was much more pleasing to his ears than her usual cold demeanor.

As for the man on the third floor, his eyes were filled with gentleness as he looked at the youth below. Even from such a distance, he could still smell the fragrance of the youth’s body.

The man looked at the Crown Prince doubtfully. He looked at the Crown Prince and said to the servant girl beside him, “Don’t be afraid, pull out his tongue!” He could not believe it, but as he watched the Crown Prince’s servant slowly approach, the man knew that she was not joking and yelled, “Crown Prince, you can’t do this! This is the Under Heaven Tower, no one can make a move in this world, not even if you’re the Crown Prince!”

The crowd was also shocked by the crown prince’s arrogant actions. Some of the people on the second floor also came down to see how he would be thrown out by the others.

Shang Wuxin did not take the man’s threat seriously, and if there was no fear, he would not listen. He directly went in front of the man, took out a dagger, and directly cut off half of the man’s tongue. The man wanted to cry out, but his jaw was cut off without fear.

The crowd did not wait for the Under Heaven Tower to punish the crown prince. Instead, they saw the head of the Under Heaven Tower coming down to the crown prince with a respectful expression, “The crown prince is shocked!” After that, he let the attendant throw the tongue-tied man out. From start to finish, not only did he not punish the crown prince, he didn’t even blame the crown prince. Instead, he was so respectful that it was frightening.

When Nangong Qiushan and his group left the Tower of Heaven, the Tower Lord personally sent them to the entrance. One must know that in the Under Heaven Tower, not to mention being so respectful, it was often difficult for scholars and scholars to meet.

Not too far away, the group went to a rather famous restaurant for lunch. Leng Zi had followed obediently behind the crown prince the entire time, like a girl from a noble family. From time to time, she would even look up at the crown prince before her, before happily lowering her head to think about something.

As for Shang Wuxin, she was still mulling over the matter of the Under Heaven Tower, not out of curiosity, but rather out of curiosity, even after she entered the restaurant and sat down.

“Crown Prince!” Just as Shang Wuxin was lost in thought, Leng Zi’s voice interrupted her thoughts. She was about to think of something, but she was interrupted. However, Shang Wuxin did not insist, as what she should know would eventually be known.

When Shang Wuxin retracted his thoughts and looked at Leng Zi standing there, his eyes were unreadable.

Leng Zi glanced at the crown prince and her already pale and delicate face turned even redder. The recent dimples made her look even more adorable. On the other hand, Shang Wuxin was impatient. When Nangong Qian looked at Leng Zi, he did not know why he was unhappy, and was not afraid of being embarrassed by the crown prince’s subordinate.

“Thank you!” Leng Zi said in a low voice, as she walked out of the private room and stood outside to relax her breathing. He was truly grateful to the crown prince for saving him at such a time and taking him out of this embarrassing situation. Although his methods were cruel, he was still vexed for himself. When Leng Zi saw this, she felt really touched.

Shang Wuxin had intended to say that her words were not for Leng Zi, but had been withdrawn after she left the private room. She did not care about such things. If it was said that she was doing this for Leng Zi, how could it be possible?
