Chapter 287 Kidnapping the Sixth Prince as My Husband? Do You Like the Sixth Prince?

Han Feng said, "Unless we transfer the Sixth Prince away from the capital, it will be much easier for us to plan an accident when he is not in the capital."

Shen Chu was somewhat worried.

"He is the commander of the Flying Eagle Guard. He cannot leave the capital easily without an imperial edict. It would be troublesome to transfer him away."

"That's a bit troublesome."

Han Feng suddenly moved closer to Shen Chu, his dark eyes flashing with an unusual light.

"Ah Chu, didn't you ever think about kidnapping the Sixth Prince as well?"

Shen Chu looked bewildered.

Why would I kidnap him?

Han Feng declared confidently, "I'll kidnap the Sixth Prince to be your husband!"

Shen Chu's heart skipped a beat.

Han Feng inserted all the silver needles into the acupoints, clapped his hands, and while twisting the silver needles, he analyzed them in a very logical and eloquent manner.

"Look, your main purpose in entering the court as an official was to seek justice for your family and clear their name. Now it can be considered that your family has been exonerated."

Have you thought about how you want to live your life from now on?

Shen Chu shook his head.

From the age of seven, she lived for only one goal: to clear her father's name, to restore the reputation of the Ning'an Marquis's mansion, and to comfort her deceased family.

For the past ten years, she has been moving towards this goal every single day of her life.

Now that her goal is almost achieved, she hasn't seriously thought about what to do next.

The pain from the twisting of the silver needles made her break out in a cold sweat, and her mind went blank for a moment.

"Let's go back to Medicine King Valley first, give birth to the child, and then we'll talk about it later."

Han Feng looked disapproving.

"You're only seventeen. You have a long life ahead of you to squander. You've had too hard a ten years so far."

Now that you've avenged yourself and cleared your name, you must live happily from now on.

"What does this have to do with kidnapping the Sixth Prince?"

Han Feng glared at him, "It's a huge deal! Who is the Sixth Prince? He's the father of the child in your belly!"

"You could kidnap him, and then you could all live happily together as a family with the kids. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Shen Chu gasped, sweat pouring down her forehead.

It hurts.

"Me and Pei Yuan, all sweet and loving? How is that possible?"

"Why not? I can tell from Pei Yuan's clingy attitude towards you that he definitely has other feelings for you."

Shen Chu was embarrassed. "Where?"

"It happens everywhere! Think carefully about what he did to you. Have your third senior brother and I ever done anything like that to you?"

Shen Chu fell silent and began to seriously recall the times when Pei Yuan and she were together.

When her life was in danger in the fire, Pei Yuan rushed into the fire to save her.

After falling into the secret room, Pei Yuan coaxed her to help him get dressed.

She infiltrated the private army camp, and Pei Yuan taught her how to cook, saying that everything she fed her was delicious.

The two developed an increasingly strong rapport.

His Majesty intends to imprison her in the Imperial Prison, but only Pei Yuan remembers that she needs acupuncture every three days.

So, does Pei Yuan really have other feelings for her?

This thought made Shen Chu's heart skip a beat.

How is that possible?

He is Pei Yuan, the sixth prince who despises homosexuals the most.

Even the sixth prince, who claimed he had absolutely no interest in her!

When the two first met, Pei Yuan was full of disdain for her and constantly warned her not to have any improper thoughts.

Pei Yuan is such a restrained person, let alone now that she is a man.

Even if he changed back into women's clothing, he might not necessarily fall for her.

Do you think what I said makes sense?

Seeing that she remained silent, Han Feng raised his hand and gently patted her.

Shen Chu came to her senses and said, "Senior Brother, please don't talk nonsense. There's no way there's between us."

"Why not? I already said we'd kidnap him and then tell him about the woman disguised as a man."

Whether your family ventures into the world or settles down in Medicine King Valley, no one will notice you.

All you need to know is that he likes you, and you like him, that's enough.

At this point, Han Feng paused, then asked, "A-Chu, do you like the Sixth Prince?"

Does she like Pei Yuan?

Shen Chu blinked, looking somewhat bewildered.

"I haven't thought about that question, Senior Brother. What does it feel like to like someone?"

Han Feng tilted his head and thought for a moment, his voice becoming softer.

"Liking someone is a very subtle feeling; you'll be concerned about their feelings all the time."

Even when you're with a group of people, you always want to get his attention; you hope his gaze will always follow you.

When he's happy, you're happy; when he's sad, you're sad too. You'll always want to share everything with him.

Shen Chu listened intently and couldn't help but ask, "Like how Senior Brother treats Senior Sister?"

Han Feng's expression froze.

"You're talking about you and the Sixth Prince, why are you dragging me into this? Just tell me if you like the Sixth Prince or not."

Shen Chu scratched his head and answered honestly.

"I don't know either."

Han Feng raised his hand and ruffled her hair, then sighed helplessly.

"You spend all your energy studying and figuring out how to play a boy. You know nothing about what girls should know."

You lack the romantic thoughts and aspirations that girls should have, and you're completely clueless when it comes to relationships.

"Promise your senior brother you'll think carefully about your future path."

After a long silence, Shen Chu nodded gently.

"good."

She understood what her senior brother meant, but first she needed to figure out what Pei Yuan's true feelings were for her.

They thought Pei Yuan would sneak in again that night, but after waiting all night, no one came.

Five days passed, and Pei Yuan still hadn't come.

On the morning of the sixth day, a palace eunuch suddenly arrived and summoned Shen Chu to the palace.

Shen Chu immediately perked up.

His Majesty summoned her to the palace, surely because the case of the Marquis of Ning'an's residence had been resolved.

Stepping outside, I saw that the imperial guards in the courtyard had all withdrawn.

She became even more certain of her guess.

Today is the grand court assembly held every five days.

Shen Chu encountered He Zhengxiang, who had dark eyes and was walking with a limp, at the palace gate.

She was startled.

"Lord He, are you ill?"

He Zhengxiang looked extremely resentful, and spoke weakly.

"It would be better if I were really sick, but I'm just exhausted from staying up all night. I'm going to complain to His Majesty; the Sixth Prince is a total night owl!"

"The Sixth Prince forced you to stay up all night?"

He Zhengxiang walked in with him, their steps faltering.

"His Highness said that the Censorate was too slow in handling cases, and too lukewarm in processing evidence and interrogating criminals. So he specifically asked me to move to the Flying Eagle Guard to handle cases."

Those people from the Feng family were all incredibly stubborn, but who knew they'd become so arrogant after joining the Flying Eagle Guard...

Every time a prisoner was interrogated, the Sixth Prince would have a row of Flying Eagle Guards stand in the room, each holding a different instrument of torture, and would use it randomly, like drawing a lottery.

Those members of the Feng family, each one of them vomited with equal gusto; those who were even a little slower met a terrible end.

Shen Chu couldn't help but imagine the scene and couldn't help but laugh.

"Wouldn't this make it easier for you to investigate the case?"

He Zhengxiang patted his chest.

"Yes, the case, which was originally expected to take more than half a month to be heard, was heard in just four days and four nights."

Organizing the files took only one day, and five days were enough. But this old man can't keep up with that kind of workload.

"Sixth Prince, won't you let the master rest?"

He Zhengxiang's face turned even paler.

"Who can sleep in the Flying Eagle Guard? Not just me, all the officials of the Inspectorate were awake. Every time they closed their eyes, they saw the Flying Eagle Guard standing behind them with torture instruments."

Zhou Jun dozed off, and even in his dream he cried out, "Help me up! I can still interrogate them, who would dare to sleep?"

Chen Chu...

"Lord He, what are you saying about me?"

Pei Yuan's voice sounded from behind.

He Zhengxiang trembled. "Your Majesty, I still need to deliver the documents to you. I shall take my leave now."

Having said that, the old man moved with lightning speed and disappeared in a flash, showing no sign of his trembling legs just moments before.

Shen Chu turned around and met Pei Yuan's smiling peach blossom eyes.

Pei Yuan said softly, "Don't worry, I've already tried to get everything I could from Father Emperor for you."

I won't let you feel wronged, don't be afraid.

A bad feeling suddenly arose in Shen Chu's heart.

Sixth Brother, what did you manage to get for me?
