Xiao Shen immediately raised his head, reached out and grabbed her sleeves and begged: "Concubine, please don't do this..."
However, Princess Duan didn't look at him again, she just walked away without looking back.
She told him with her actions that there was no room for change in the matter.
The moment he walked out of the palace gate, Xiao Shen raised his head and glanced at the sky, feeling very complicated.
At this time, a man walked towards him quickly and smiled earnestly: "A Shen, you have figured it out!"
Xiao Shen retracted his gaze, looked towards him, smiled handsomely, and instantly turned back into the charming Prince Cheng: "Uncle, why are you here?"
"I made an appointment with the eldest son of the Wang family. We have reserved a seat at the Juxian Tower. Let's go have a drink together." The uncle turned sideways and pointed at the carriage behind him. "Look, I've even prepared the carriage for you."
Okay, if you have nothing else to do, let’s leave now?”
Xiao Shen happily agreed, and the two of them got into the carriage and went to Juxian Tower for a drink.
As the best restaurant in Wushuang City, the Juxian Building was crowded with people at this time. A gentle-looking middle-aged man and a handsome man in gorgeous clothes walked in side by side. The middle-aged man faced the inn that greeted him attentively.
The waiter said: "My surname is Qin, and I have already made an appointment with someone."
"It's Mr. Qin!" The waiter smiled brighter and brighter, "Quickly, please come upstairs, they are already here."
This middle-aged man, who is called the Second Master of Qin, is the biological brother of Princess Duan, and is also the biological uncle of Xiao Shen. As for the handsome man next to him, he is naturally his nephew, Prince Cheng Xiao Shen.
The waiter led the two of them up to the third floor, opened the door and walked into the private room, and found that two people were already sitting inside.
Seeing Mr. Qin and Xiao Shen arriving, the two people who were sitting immediately stood up. The older man among them raised his hands and said with a smile: "Prince Cheng, Mr. Qin, you are here, come and sit here!"
"
This older man was Wang Yu, the son of the Wang family who invited them to have a drink today. He warmly greeted the two of them to sit down and poured them a glass of wine himself: "You are late, so you have to drink one as a penalty."
Mr. Qin was a cheerful person and did not refuse. He picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, earning Wang Yu's applause.
Xiao Shen picked up the wine glass and put it to his mouth, took a sip gently, then put down the wine glass, cast his eyes on the handsome young man sitting next to Wang Yu, and said with a smile: "Young Master Wang hasn't introduced this to us yet.
Where is this little brother’s origin?”
Wang Yu immediately slapped his forehead and shouted: "Ouch! Look at my stupidity, I actually forgot to introduce you to you! This little brother is a distant cousin of mine, with the compound surname Xiling and a single name.
Tan character."
Then he briefly introduced the identities of Xiao Shen and Qin Er Ye, and the two parties finally got to know each other.
Xilingtan looks to be only sixteen or seventeen years old. She has pretty features, but her eyes are particularly deep, and she is over eight feet tall.
Xiao Shen asked casually: "Looking at your accent, you shouldn't be a local, right?"
Xilingtan smiled politely: "I am from the Snow Country."
Wang Yu immediately explained: "Atan's mother was from the Wushuang Dynasty. She later married a businessman in the Snowy Region and has been living in the Snowy Region ever since. It will be my father's sixtieth birthday soon.
I wrote a letter to their family and invited them to come to Wushuang City for a few days. Unfortunately, A Tan’s family was busy with business and his parents couldn’t be separated for a while, so they had to let him come to Wushuang City alone to congratulate my father.
Shou, by the way, let us show him the prosperity of Wushuang City."
Xilingtan felt deeply: "Indeed, Wushuang City is much more prosperous than Snowland. No wonder my mother often talks to me about things here. Now that I see it, it is indeed a worthwhile trip."
They began to discuss various popular entertainment activities in Wushuang City. Everyone here, whether it is Wang Yu, Xiao Shen, or even Qin Erye, are all experts in eating, drinking and having fun, and they are very good at talking about entertainment.
, Xilingtan was filled with envy when he heard it.
After drinking, the four of them went to the largest gambling shop in the city together and gambled heavily all afternoon until midnight before returning home.
In the next few days, the four of them would go out to eat, drink and have fun together almost every day. It just so happened that they didn't care about money. As long as they could have fun, they were willing to spend no matter how much money they had.
Within a few days, there was a report from the officials, claiming that his life style was not correct, and that he had read the book of Prince Cheng.
Faced with the responsibilities of courtiers, Xiao Shen himself expressed his calmness and continued to eat and play, without caring about the gazes of the courtiers. His debauched behavior became an arrogance in the eyes of the courtiers, and more and more people
Officials sent memorials to impeach him, but because of trivial matters such as his lifestyle, almost all the memorials sent to the Jinhua Palace were like nothing, without any response.
As a result, Xiao Shen became even more unscrupulous and spent all his time in dissipation without caring about worldly affairs.
Wang Qiuyu is happy to see this happen. As a puppet, he only needs to know how to eat, drink, have fun, and understand that he must be obedient. Everything else does not matter.
In the early morning of that day, just after dawn, three men stepped off the boat.
Last night, Xiao Shen, Qin Erye, Wang Yu and Xilingtan had fun all night on the boat. They drank until they were so drunk that they couldn't leave anymore, so they simply slept on the boat. Qin Erye also
After finding a beautiful girl with pink hair, the two of them slept in bed all night, and couldn't even get out of bed this morning.
There was no other way, so Xiao Shen simply stopped caring about him. Anyway, he had a tigress at home. When his tigress found out about him sleeping in the boathouse, she would have to eat a meal of paitou again.
Xiao Shen, Wang Yu and Xilingtan stepped off the boat. The Wang family servants who had been waiting at the ferry immediately came forward with a soft sedan chair. Xiao Shen looked around, but did not see the servants of the palace, and could not help but frown slightly.
Where have everyone gone?
The early morning wind was filled with chill, and it was very cold on his body. The clothes Xiao Shen wore were a little thin, and he was freezing miserably.
Wang Yu took the initiative and said: "Why don't you take my sedan back to the palace? It's cold today, and it's easy to catch cold and get sick if you stand for a long time."
"No, I'm riding in your sedan chair, so how can you go back?" Xiao Shen shook his head and declined.
"My house happens to have a shop near here. I want to go there to collect the bill. Then I can just ask them to arrange a certain sedan chair for me."
Seeing what he said, Xiao Shen just agreed: "Thank you very much."
Wang Yu hurriedly said no thanks.
Xiao Shen got into the soft sedan, and the bearers lifted the sedan steadily. Wang Yu and Xilingtan stood there and watched them leave. It wasn't until their figures disappeared into the morning mist that they looked back and looked at each other.
A smile.
Sitting in the sedan chair, Xiao Shen dozed off. He went to bed very late last night and drank a lot of wine. When he woke up this morning, he had a splitting headache. He drank it hard
After two large bowls of hangover tea, my head felt better.
The sedan swayed slightly with every step it took. Xiao Shen was shaken so much that he yawned repeatedly and his eyelids drooped involuntarily.
He didn't know when he fell asleep or how long he slept. When he woke up, he found that the sedan chair had not stopped yet. He was surprised, why did he walk for so long and still not reach the palace?
He lifted the curtain and looked outside. At this time, the morning fog had dispersed, and he could clearly see the surrounding trees. He immediately frowned, this was not the way back to the palace!
He shouted loudly: "Stop the sedan!"
However, the bearers seemed not to hear it and continued to carry the sedan quickly towards the remote country road.
Xiao Shen finally realized something was wrong. He shouted several times but still received no response. He simply got worried and planned to jump off the sedan. However, as soon as he stood up, the sedan was suddenly stopped by someone, and someone appeared on the road ahead.
A group of mysterious people wearing masks came. Without saying a word, they drew their swords and rushed towards the bearers.
The bearers, who originally looked ordinary and harmless, also drew out the swords hidden under the sedan at this moment, and fought with the masked people. Both sides went back and forth, and there was a flash of swords and shadows.
Xiao Shen had been looking for an opportunity to escape. As soon as he took two steps out, a masked man hit him with a stick from behind. His vision went dark, and he fell straight to the ground, passing out on the spot.
The force value of the masked people was obviously higher than that of the group of bearers, and soon all the bearers were killed. The masked people disposed of the corpses as quickly as possible, and then stuffed the unconscious Xiao Shen into the sedan.
He carried him and quickly disappeared on the country road.
At the door of Prince Cheng's Mansion, the butler kept craning his neck to look around, looking extremely anxious.
He has been standing at the door for most of the day today, and he still hasn't seen the prince come back. He has sent people to Huafang to ask, and they all said that the prince has come back, but it is already afternoon, and the prince is still missing. The total number of Wushuang City is
It's so big, and the prince is very familiar with this place, so it's impossible for him to get lost.
Where did the prince go?
The chief steward was so anxious that he sent out all the people in the palace who could be sent out to search for the prince everywhere in the city, but found nothing. The prince seemed to have disappeared from the world and could not be found.
It was precisely because of their high-profile search that almost everyone knew about Prince Cheng's disappearance, and there was a lot of discussion.
Seeing that it was getting dark soon, the housekeeper finally couldn't stand it any longer. He asked someone to deliver news to the palace, telling Concubine Duan about Prince Cheng's disappearance, hoping that she could find a way to find Prince Cheng.
Concubine Duan looked solemn after receiving the news. She was very worried about her son's safety, but it was already getting late. No matter how anxious she was, she could only hold back. At dawn the next day, she immediately summoned her second brother Qin Er.
The master entered the palace and planned to ask Master Qin personally about the details of his son's disappearance.
As a result, when I first met Mr. Qin, my attention was attracted by his appearance... His left eye was beaten black and blue, and there were three scratches on his cheek. He looked particularly embarrassed.
Concubine Duan couldn't help but ask: "What's going on on your face?"
Mr. Qin touched his red and swollen cheek and replied frustratedly: "I accidentally fell down." He would not tell his sister that he was so happy with his fans that he forgot to go home and was beaten to death by his wife.
Pig head, your status is too low, why not! (To be continued)
