Chapter 192 "Lu Mingchao—I'm going to kill him!"
Shen Changle was slightly surprised.
I didn't expect that the emperor's brother, who is usually so mean to the emperor's uncle, would actually... be afraid that the emperor's uncle would be disappointed in him?
But think about it carefully...
My royal brother has just passed the age of twenty.
If I hadn't been forced to shoulder the burden of the king!
He should have been like those other young masters of his age, enjoying his youth with fine clothes and gallant horses...
But because of the heavy burden on his shoulders, he ascended the throne at the age of thirteen.
I can no longer talk and laugh with others;
Don’t reveal your preferences easily;
Even leaving the palace requires careful consideration and careful planning!
In the past, she only knew how to have fun and never really shared the burden with him.
This trip to the military camp made me realize the pressure of the rulers only when they were truly in power.
Every order carries the lives of tens of thousands of people. A single thought may result in the loss of human lives!
How heavy is this burden?
not to mention……
He is the emperor who shoulders the responsibility of a country and is responsible for hundreds of millions of citizens...
Thinking of this, she gently held Shen Changning's hand and comforted him softly.
"Brother, don't overthink it. The Emperor's uncle has never blamed you, and will never be disappointed in you."
After hearing her words, Shen Changning raised his eyes and gently squeezed her fingertips.
"Really?"
"real!"
Shen Changle leaned closer to him and told him the story in a mysterious tone.
"Brother, do you know what the Emperor's uncle said when he arrived at the border town?"
"Ok?"
"Uncle Emperor said that 'Changning' was detained by Lu Mingchao, not 'the Emperor'!"
Shen Changning's eyes lit up slightly, and the corners of his tightly pursed mouth relaxed a lot.
"He...really said that?"
"Yes! He is worried about you, not the country."
Shen Changning lowered his head with a complicated expression, seeming to be both happy and sad, and it was difficult to tell whether he was happy or sad.
After a long silence, he asked again:
"Then...did Jiang Ci'an know about your return to Beijing?"
Changle was recalled to Kyoto with the imperial decree of marriage, and he was worried that Jiang Ci'an would blame her.
The smile on Shen Changle's lips faded, and she took his arm and moved closer to him.
"Don't worry, my royal brother, he knows."
"He knew? So he let you come back on your own?"
"Um……"
Shen Changle was vague in his words, but Shen Changning was not easy to fool.
"Impossible, this is not Jiang Ci'an's character!"
Shen Changle blinked, feeling extremely surprised.
"What kind of personality should Jiang Ci'an have?"
Shen Changning frowned.
"Even if he doesn't come back with you, he will never let you put yourself in danger."
Seeing how confident he was, Shen Changle knew that if he didn't say something, he would definitely not believe it!
She leaned over and whispered softly in his ear.
"My royal brother guessed correctly. He changed his appearance and mixed in with the secret guards, hiding beside me."
Shen Changning was surprised again.
"What about that city over there?"
"The emperor's uncle is here!"
Only then did Shen Changning breathe a sigh of relief.
"That's fine... Although the Regent has never led an army, if it's just defending the city, it shouldn't be a problem."
"Ah."
Shen Changle nodded seriously.
Glancing at the people still digging outside the secret room, he asked in confusion:
"Where should this secret passage lead to?"
"Should be able to reach the outside of the cold palace."
"Leng Gong?"
"Well, there was a tip-off sent in with the food, saying that on the 13th of next month, there will be a secret escape through the tunnel to wipe out the rebels.
I roughly calculated that even if we dig day and night, this secret passage will only reach the cold palace at most."
Shen Changle stood up and walked to the entrance of the secret room to take a look, then sighed while holding his stomach.
"It would be nice if we could just go outside the palace."
It made Shen Changning chuckle.
"Digging through the palace is a huge undertaking."
"Right……"
Shen Changle and Shen Changning returned to Yaochi Palace. She had dinner with him before leaving.
Lu Mingchao personally sent her back to Changle Palace, and couldn't help but touch her in the carriage.
"Your Highness, now that you have seen the Emperor as you wished, won't you thank your husband?"
"Lu Mingchao, I advise you to respect yourself!"
"Your Highness, please don't be like this. We are getting married soon."
Shen Changle stood up suddenly regardless of the fact that the carriage was still moving.
He opened the car door and threatened:
"If you touch me again, I'll jump from here! Forget about your wedding going on as planned."
"Your Highness, why do this? You know I don't want to hurt you at all... You'd better not force me!"
Don't want to hurt?
Shen Changle will never forget all the things in his past life!
If she had to be his wife in this life, she would rather die!
"What if I force you? Lu Mingchao, unless you kill me now! Otherwise...
Don't even think about touching me before the wedding!"
Lu Mingchao narrowed his eyes in anger and said it out loud.
"Shen Changle, don't try to buy time with delaying tactics! Don't wait for Jiang Ci'an anymore, he won't come to save you!
To tell you the truth, before I came to the capital, I saw him get shot by my poisoned arrow! By now, he'd probably already been rotting in the belly of some wild dog!"
"impossible!"
Shen Changle was well prepared and every move was carefully choreographed.
He looks crazy and almost collapsed!
Holding his stomach, he fell to the floor of the carriage.
"You lied to me! Ci'an is the commander of the Firearm Battalion. He conquered three cities in two months! How could he... You lied to me, you lied to me!"
"Humph……"
Lu Mingchao was very proud and squatted down to help her up.
But she suddenly slapped him hard in the face.
His face swelled up instantly!
Shen Changle was still not satisfied, so he pulled out the dagger from between his boots and stabbed him in the shoulder.
Lu Mingchao raised his hand to block, but the dagger still scratched his arm.
"You are so cunning and deceitful! You are full of tricks! Lu Mingchao, you killed Ci'an, and I want you to pay for his life!"
"hiss……"
Lu Mingchao looked at the wound on his arm and took a breath.
He snatched her dagger with force and grabbed her neck.
"Shen Changle, do you really think I dare not kill you?"
The pain and suffocation came over her at the same time, but there was no panic in her eyes, only resentment!
Her hair was messy and her face was pale.
A physiological tear slid down the side of his face, making Lu Mingchao extremely excited.
He loosened his grip, dragged the man in front of him, and whispered in his ear.
"Good princess, be good and don't make me angry again... Otherwise, you will suffer!"
Then he stuck out his tongue and licked away the tears on Shen Changle's face.
The wet and sticky touch made Shen Changle feel sick and nauseous!
Lu Mingchao looked at her painful expression and let go of her neck with satisfaction.
He chuckled and got off the carriage.
Shen Changle leaned over the car, rubbing the side of his face vigorously, and retching non-stop...
Soon, the carriage arrived at Changle Palace.
Jiang Ci'an flashed over and jumped into the carriage in the blink of an eye.
Seeing her lying on the ground retching, her face rubbed red, and with purple fingerprints on her neck, he felt so distressed and furious!
"Lu Mingchao—I'm going to kill him!"
Shen Changle wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and held him in her arms.
"No, don't go... A little impatience can ruin a big plan... I'm fine..."
"Changle..."
Seeing how hard she was trying to endure, Jiang Ci'an had no choice but to cooperate with her. He gritted his teeth and helped her out of the carriage.
