Facts have proved that Chu Xingchen was indeed teased.
The son of aristocratic family glanced at the short and narrow kitchen, with pity in his eyes, "The young lady shouldn't be in such a simple courtyard. She should be carefully served with silk, jewelry, gold and silver."
The corner of Chu Xingchen's mouth twitched, but the family member didn't notice it at all, "Although I wish you brothers to be talented and learned, after all, my family background is not obvious. I don't know how long it will take to get ahead. My dear, do you want someone else to follow you?"
?”
The look in his eyes made Chu Xingchen very uncomfortable. Chu Xingchen stiffened his fist and said, "No, if you don't want to die, get out now."
If she keeps talking, she will hit someone.
The son of aristocratic family did not expect that Chu Xingchen would say this, and his eyes were even more interesting, "Young lady is really fierce, but there is no future for a student from a poor family like him, especially someone who attracts so much attention. How many people have died?
It won’t end well.”
There was something in his words. Chu Xingchen was moved in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, "But I just like his talent and his face. Although you are rich and powerful, your face is not good-looking."
Chu Xingchen shook his head and looked at him with disappointment on his face, "I care about appearance, you are too ugly."
The son of aristocratic family did not expect that Chu Xingchen would say such words, his face suddenly became livid, "You...you are looking for death."
At this moment, he suddenly heard a sneer, and the family member turned around and saw Shen Cangzhu.
Shen Cangzhu's hair was still dripping with water, and his face was so gloomy that it could drip, "Fang Yong, do you think I'm dead?"
Before he finished speaking, Shen Cangzhu picked up the firewood and hit Fang Yong.
Fang Yong screamed, and the two classmates who followed him were startled. When Fang Yong was beaten to blood, they hurriedly stepped forward to hug Shen Cangzhu.
"Brother Shen, please bear with me. Even if I beat you to death, you will be in trouble."
Fang Yong was shocked, angry and angry. He looked at Chu Xingchen who clapped his hands and said that the fight was good, and then looked at Shen Cangzhu, "Okay, very good, just wait for me."
He pointed at Chu Xingchen, "Just wait, there will be a time when you regret begging me!"
He wanted to say a few more cruel words, but as soon as Shen Cangzhu moved, he immediately ran away in piss.
Of the two classmates who came with him, one went after him, while the other apologized incoherently, saying that they didn't come on purpose, but that Fang Yong came here because he was dissatisfied with Shen Cangzhu's treatment.
Their clothes were white from washing, and they were students from poor families. After some persuasion, they left reluctantly.
"Are you okay?"
Shen Cangzhu threw the firewood away and asked Chu Xingchen. Chu Xingchen shook his head, "It's okay. Our Lord Shen has been violent today. What can happen to me?"
The noble and elegant Mr. Shen was waving firewood in his hands. If other people saw this scene, their jaws would drop.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Shen Cangzhu's face, "You still laugh at me, that's not what I am..."
He was so angry all of a sudden that he dared to tease His Highness and said those words.
Seeing Chu Xingchen cover his mouth and snicker, Shen Cangzhu shook his head and touched his face, "This is the first time I know that the lady looks at the face. Thank you very much for the compliment."
This time it was Chu Xingchen's turn to get stuck, "I...I deliberately made him angry."
She looked outside, pointed at the broken bowl on the ground and said, "Look, I told you to break the bowl, but you really did."
The bowl was broken during the chaos just now, but I didn't expect that it really rose to the occasion.
Chu Xingchen was about to clean up, but Shen Cangzhu stopped him, "Don't do it, don't get hurt."
Chu Xingchen watched Shen Cangzhu carefully put away the dishes and chopsticks, "Who is that Fang Yong? What he said seemed like he knew something about the student's murder."
"There is a problem. Let the guards take a look. I will pay more attention to him."
It was slightly bright the next day, and Shen Cangzhu got up. He always got up very early after coming here.
The side effects of being in the same room with Chu Xingchen, apart from being unable to sleep at night, seemed to come back all at once when I had not had much impulse.
He was always a little impulsive when he got up early. He would wash his face with cold water every morning to calm down, and then he would do a set of boxing skills he learned from the guards.
I want to vent my energy to strengthen my body so as not to encounter danger again in the future, so I can only passively protect it like last time.
When he went back sweating, Chu Xingchen had already gotten up, carrying a small basket on his back with great interest, "Shen Cangzhu, I'm going to the mountains with Xiaohua to pick mushrooms. I heard that we can pick up a lot of them, but I haven't picked them up yet. Let’s eat together when we get back.”
Chu Xingchen had only seen it on the Internet and in videos, but had never experienced it in person, so he really wanted to try it.
"Be careful and take the guards with you."
"That's for sure, please pay attention to your safety, we will be back soon."
Shen Cangzhu watched Chu Xingchen leave and went back to tidy up. Grandpa Xiaohua came back from the fields and knew that Xiaohua had taken Chu Xingchen to the mountain to pick mushrooms. He beat his leg and told him that his leg hurt badly and he would fall asleep soon. rain.
"You have to come back early, but Xiaohua never runs around, so it should be fine." The rainy day Shen Cangzhu was looking forward to was finally coming. This was the first good news. He put on his umbrella and decided that if the situation was different, he would Go pick up Chu Xingchen.
When he left the door, he received the second piece of good news.
The letter from the palace was received, and people were transferred here as quickly as possible. They quickly arrived at Qingtai County.
"Give them the address, but before coming, let them get rid of the tails in the city, so as not to expose His Highness's position and attract the tails."
There are people in Qingtai County who have been looking for Chu Xingchen, and it is safe to get rid of them.
After receiving the news, Shen Cangzhu could finally breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time, a regret welled up in his heart.
The time alone with His Highness is coming to an end, and there is not much time left for his wife alone.
He was a little reluctant to spend time alone with her, and he didn't know if he could eat the mushrooms she picked up with her for lunch.
Shen Cangzhu, who was reluctant to leave early, went to the academy. Fang Yong didn't come after being beaten. He said he was sick and asked for leave. He didn't bother him, and there was no news. The academy was calm, as if nothing happened.
But according to the guards' reports, there seems to be something wrong with Fang Yong.
Shen Cangzhu knew that he was now a perfect bait, and he was just waiting to see if the murderer would take the bait.
Before it was time to finish school, the sky outside became gloomy. Shen Cangzhu was afraid that Chu Xingchen was still on the mountain, so he took leave and left early.
Unexpectedly, he encountered an ambush on the road. The murderer took the bait. There were guards following Shen Cangzhu, so no major disaster occurred.
Shen Cangzhu made arrangements and hurried home to see if Chu Xingchen was back.
Chu Xingchen came back and gained a lot. He carried a lot of mushrooms in his small basket, but they fell into the muddy water and were stepped on in the middle.
When Shen Cangzhu saw the small backpack, his scalp tightened. He ran over quickly and saw a thrilling sight.
Chu Xingchen was embarrassed to avoid the knife that was chasing her. She circled the pomegranate tree and the stone table, but could not escape the enemy's grasp.
I avoided the knife from behind, but the knife from the front had already arrived.
Shen Cangzhu saw the same dead man in black as last time, holding a knife and slashing at Chu Xingchen's neck.
Even the Bodhisattva will be hard-pressed to save him with this sword strike!
"No!" Shen Cangzhu's eyes were about to burst.
The oil-paper umbrella fell to the muddy ground. Shen Cangzhu screamed and ran over, using the fastest speed in his life, but he still couldn't make it in time.
Seeing that Chu Xingchen was about to die under the knife, with his liver and gallbladder torn to pieces, there was a sudden 'block' sound, and a stone hit the big knife.
The knife was deflected and landed on Chu Xingchen's shoulder.
Shen Cangzhu felt something flash around him, and the next second there was another person beside Chu Xingchen, holding a long sword. When the man in black raised the sword again, his throat was sealed with a sword.
[The author has something to say]
Ahem, the prince is indeed a high-risk profession. I have seen statistics (without checking) that among the first princes appointed by the emperor in history, 91 of them succeeded in reaching the top, while 69 were deposed, killed or their whereabouts are unknown.
Chu Xingchen's sister, the first princess, is also gone.
