After finishing her meal, Shen Jiaojiao returned home. Now that she was full and satisfied, it was time for her to go to sleep. Thinking about it, life wasn't so bad.
I had a good night's sleep, and as soon as I woke up, I heard Chunhua say that the housekeeper was waiting outside, as if he had something urgent to report.
Shen Jiaojiao quickly got up, washed up, and came out. Looking at the anxious-looking person in front of her, her eyebrows were practically about to fall off from worry.
He quickly asked, "What is it, butler? Tell me immediately."
"This..." The steward hesitated, mainly because the Crown Princess was young and he didn't know how to bring it up. However, there were only two masters in the mansion, and he didn't know if it would be of any use.
Judging from his expression, Shen Jiaojiao guessed that something might have happened to Chu Tianling.
With his short-lived appearance, sigh!
"Speak! What happened to His Highness the Crown Prince?" Shen Jiaojiao asked directly.
The steward choked for a moment, realizing his guess was accurate. He wiped the sweat from his brow and carefully began, "Your Highness, this morning His Highness the Crown Prince took 50 guards to the outskirts of the city to capture the thief who recently appeared, and he has not yet returned!"
Shen Jiaojiao guessed, "Is it the case of the thieves that people have been talking about in the city recently, where many people have disappeared?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" the butler nodded.
Shen Jiaojiao asked again, "It hasn't even been a day yet, and he's already brought 50 people with him. What's your rush?"
"Ah, well... to be honest, His Highness the Crown Prince has always had very bad luck. It wasn't obvious when he was a child, but later on, there were times when things would go wrong while he was investigating a case. Just when he was about to catch the suspect, he would inexplicably fall down. Although he caught the person, his hand would be broken."
I was walking along when dog poop suddenly appeared.
I almost choked to death while drinking water.
There were countless incidents, so His Highness the Crown Prince basically stayed at home and never went out after that.
This was his first case since he recovered. Normally, he would send someone back to let us know whether he was coming back or not, but he hasn't sent a message since he left this morning. Something must have happened.
The housekeeper looked at Shen Jiaojiao with teary eyes. For some reason, even though it was a very serious matter, Shen Jiaojiao felt like laughing as she listened to the housekeeper's words.
I've never seen such an unlucky kid.
Well, to ensure his survival, I should go and check on him.
"Does anyone know the way? Lead the way, and find a few more people to come with me to see what's going on."
"Okay!"
Shen Jiaojiao went back to her room to change her clothes. She usually dressed up nicely at home, but since she was going out this time, she decided to change into something more presentable.
Opening the closet revealed a collection of ethereal, flowing dresses. Shen Jiaojiao immediately called to Chunhua, "Chunhua, go find me a guard's uniform. I need to go out!"
Chunhua nodded and went to the steward to get a new guard uniform. Shen Jiaojiao was short and hard to find, so when she put it on, the sleeves were a bit long.
Shen Jiaojiao picked up the scissors and snipped off the protruding part with two quick snips.
Having styled her hair like a man, Shen Jiaojiao admired her newly created handsome young man image in the mirror, thinking happily that this look would surely charm a whole host of beautiful girls.
Upon arriving at the gate, the steward had already arranged for 100 guards from the manor.
The butler was taken aback when he saw Shen Jiaojiao's attire. He was initially annoyed at having to wait so long for her, since he was very anxious about the Crown Prince's accident and wanted to leave immediately.
Seeing Shen Jiaojiao's attire, he knew she had gone to change clothes. This kind of outfit clearly indicated she was on official business, and he felt much better.
"Your Highness, I've ordered 100 guards from the manor to accompany you. Be careful on the road, and if anything happens, come back immediately. We can still contact the Emperor!" The steward was also helpless. He wanted to report to the Emperor immediately, but he was afraid that the Emperor would kill him in a fit of anger.
So now all we can do is pray that Shen Jiaojiao can safely bring His Highness the Crown Prince back this time.
The steward prepared a carriage at the entrance, and 100 other guards followed on horseback to protect her.
Shen Jiaojiao looked at the carriage and frowned, "Aren't there any horses?"
"Huh?" The butler was taken aback.
"Bring the horse over here!" Shen Jiaojiao was speechless. How slow would it be to ride in a carriage!
Seeing the steward standing there dumbfounded, Shen Jiaojiao directly led the carriage over, unloaded the carriage from it, and freed up a horse.
He stepped onto the horse ring and nimbly mounted the horse.
The horse was a little startled; it turned around twice, shook its neck, and kicked its legs.
Chunhua stood anxiously at the door: "Your Highness, why don't we take the carriage instead!"
Shen Jiaojiao squeezed her legs tightly around the horse's flanks, pulled on the reins, and looked at Chunhua, saying, "Go back and wait for me to come back!"
Then, looking at the 100 guards who were already prepared behind him, he said, "Lead the way, let's go!"
The leader at the front nodded and rode off. Shen Jiaojiao tightened the reins and tugged at the horse's back, shouting, "Giddy up!"
The horse spurred its hooves and followed.
The steward watched as Shen Jiaojiao followed the main group with great agility, and couldn't help but admire her. Who says women are inferior to men? The Crown Princess's horsemanship is in no way inferior to that of a man.
The captain's name is Fu Hang. He was transferred from the army to the Crown Prince's residence to protect the Crown Prince. At first, he was young and thought he would follow the Crown Prince and make a name for himself.
As a result, His Highness the Crown Prince's health deteriorated, and he could only repeat the same monotonous life every day. Later, when the Crown Prince was about to pass away, he originally planned to lead his brothers to continue serving in the army.
As a result, His Highness the Crown Prince gradually recovered after his marriage, and he held back again. His impression of the Crown Princess was that she was just a beautiful but empty-faced woman, and that the Crown Prince liked her.
Today was the first time I saw her up close. This time she wasn't wearing any of those pretty clothes; instead, she was dressed very simply, and you could tell that her clothes were too big and had been trimmed.
Finding His Highness the Crown Prince is something a man should do; what is a woman like her doing getting involved?
This is so annoying!
At first, he quickly put away the items, keeping a close eye on the small figure behind him. He was surprised to find that she was small in stature, yet she didn't complain of hardship or fatigue. It was quite interesting.
Fu Hang thought he'd wait and see, and decide whether to stay after this matter was over.
He secretly sped up, and the brothers behind him, unaware of what was happening, also sped up.
Shen Jiaojiao accepted it well. The horse was a little disobedient at first, but it got used to her later. She didn't know what Fu Hang was thinking, but she felt that riding the horse was really nice.
As the speed increased, the wind brushed against my face, and I felt my heart soaring. Was this the feeling of freedom?
Shen Jiaojiao smiled, her eyebrows curved, and her eyes sparkled; she genuinely felt good.
Fu Hang glanced around quickly, almost mesmerized by the unrestrained laughter. He quickly turned back, looking straight ahead, and silently told himself: Fu Hang! Get down to business. Beautiful women are all poisonous, especially these stunningly beautiful ones—the poison runs deep!
