Chapter 411 Heartbreak
In order to have enough energy to visit the lantern festival in the evening, Shen Wan slept for nearly two hours after lunch.
Since she couldn't go out for the next few months, Chen Wan especially cherished this opportunity to enjoy the lanterns. She didn't even let the kitchen prepare dinner. After waking up, she put on her skirt and went to the study to drag Xie Jingyu out.
I've never seen anyone so fond of visiting lanterns. Xie Jingyu asked, "Don't you want to eat something?"
"Save some room for eating on the street."
There are so many delicious foods on the street that if you eat too much, you won’t have enough food to eat when you go out.
Xie Jingyu rarely objected to anything Shen Wan wanted to do, let alone just asking her to accompany her to visit the lantern festival.
When they arrived at the gate, the two of them took a carriage to the street. Shen Wan thought she had gone out early enough, but the street was already crowded with people and the carriage could not move forward.
Kyoto hasn't held a lantern festival for a long time. It's a rare opportunity, so we must cherish it. Everyone who can go out has gone out.
There were crowds of people, shoulder to shoulder.
The cries of hawkers rose one after another, and the whole Kyoto was shrouded in a cheerful atmosphere.
The carriage couldn't pass, so Xie Jingyu carried Shen Wan down. Chen Ping and Chen An led the way in front, and Shanhu and Yinchuan followed behind. Behind them were the secret guards, and Chun'er, Xia'er and other little maids also came out.
After Chen Wan's belly became apparent, she grew a lot in the past half month. Shanhu and Yinchuan were worried about not having more people around, so they called a few maids to come along.
But having so many people was useless. After walking less than half the street, Dong'er was the only one left.
After walking halfway down the street, Dong'er was also separated by the crowd.
Xie Jingyu held Chen Wan in his arms, and outsiders couldn't even touch the edge of her clothes. As they were strolling, Shanhu said, "Princess, Miss Wei Si is on the bridge..."
Shen Wan turned around and looked at the bridge, and saw Wei Mingzhu in a light green dress, standing on the bridge and waving at her.
Just one look and Shen Wan's heart was in his throat. Several children were chasing each other and bumped into Wei Mingzhu. Wei Mingzhu hugged the bridge pillar tightly and did not fall down.
When Wei Mingzhu came over, Shen Wan said, "It was a close call just now..."
Wei Mingzhu said, "It's okay."
Wei Mingzhu is generous and lively, which suits Chen Wan's personality very well.
Seeing her hand wrapped in an embroidered handkerchief, Shen Wan asked, "What's wrong with your hand?"
Wei Mingzhu said, "I was unlucky yesterday. I ran into two of your defeated opponents, Song Nanyue and Du Xiner, and accidentally injured my hand..."
Seeing Chen Wan's worry, Wei Mingzhu said, "It's just a burn, it's nothing serious. It's even more unlucky for the two of them to meet me."
Ever since Wei Mingzhu was used in the palace to plot against Shen Wan, was stung by a wasp, and thrown into the lotus pond by Prince Yuzhang, Wei Mingzhu and Song Nanyue have been fighting whenever they meet. They will never suffer any loss no matter what they eat.
Song Nanyue and Du Xiner had a good relationship before. They shared the same suffering and their relationship became even closer after being kicked out of the Jingbei Palace.
Chen Wan rarely left the house, so even if the two wanted to cause trouble for her, they couldn't find the opportunity. Wei Mingzhu also rarely left the house these days.
The wife of the Duke of Weiguo knew that her daughter was often ridiculed when she went out, and she was very angry. She wanted to see if anyone would dare to make fun of her daughter when she, the wife of the Duke of Weiguo, accompanied her daughter out for a stroll on the street.
Wei Mingzhu was afraid of running into Prince Yuzhang and didn't want to go out, but the wife of Duke Wei insisted, so she accompanied her mother to the street.
While shopping, Wei Mingzhu saw Prince Yuzhang riding away on horseback, so he strolled around without any worries, and then he had the bad luck to run into Song Nanyue and Du Xiner.
They met head-on, but there was no argument. At that time, a small vendor came over carrying tofu, and Song Nanyue's maid pushed Du Xiner's maid, and the maid staggered to the side. The small vendor was busy avoiding the maid and did not notice Wei Mingzhu behind him, and bumped into Wei Mingzhu.
Wei Mingzhu's hand was burned by the tofu that had just been baked. She screamed, and the vendor was so scared that he was at a loss. Then he tripped. There were two pots of tofu, and there was no favoritism. Song Nanyue and Du Xiner each ate one pot.
Thinking of the two people's embarrassment, Wei Mingzhu couldn't help laughing.
Wei Mingzhu was not seriously injured and did not suffer any loss, but Shen Wan was still worried.
Song Nanyue and Du Xiner are both more cunning than each other. The grudge between Wei Mingzhu and them is getting deeper and deeper. There are many people at the Lantern Festival, and Chen Wan is afraid that they will take revenge on Wei Mingzhu.
Shen Wan said, "Come with us to visit the lanterns."
Wei Mingzhu did want to, but if the Prince of Jingbei was with him, wouldn’t she become the most annoying lantern in Kyoto?
Wei Mingzhu shook her head decisively, "I've made an appointment with Zhao Ru and Zhi Yao. I'll go find them."
Chen Wan wanted to keep her, and Xie Jingyu shook his head at Chen Wan.
After Wei Mingzhu left, Shen Wan asked curiously, “Why are you stopping me?”
Wasn't he very happy to have someone accompany her shopping before?
Xie Jingyu said, "We must give Prince Yuzhang a chance."
Shen Wan was embarrassed.
She had completely forgotten about Prince Yuzhang.
The Lantern Festival is indeed a good opportunity for a chance encounter, especially since Wei Mingzhu rarely goes out now. If he doesn't seize the opportunity tonight, there will be no hope for Prince Yuzhang.
No wonder Prince Yuzhang and others follow Xie Jingyu's lead. This guy really cares about their affairs.
With Prince Yuzhang accompanying Wei Mingzhu, Shen Wan put his heart at ease and pulled Xie Jingyu over to the lively place.
After Wei Mingzhu left, he went to look for Zhao Ru and Xie Zhiyao, but there were so many people at the Lantern Festival that wherever he looked, there were people everywhere.
Halfway through the walk, the personal maid was squeezed away and Wei Mingzhu didn't dare to wander around the lantern festival alone, so he went to look for the maid.
Song Nanyue and Du Xiner were standing upstairs. When they saw Wei Mingzhu, they thought of how embarrassed they were yesterday, with tofu hitting them. They were so angry.
Being left alone at the Lantern Festival was like courting death for Wei Mingzhu.
Song Nanyue winked at her servant and the servant went downstairs.
The servant followed Wei Mingzhu, and when Wei Mingzhu was crossing the bridge, the servant took out the knife in his hand and was about to stab Wei Mingzhu.
However, just as he was about to stab Wei Mingzhu, the servant's hand was grabbed.
With a little force, the knife fell to the ground.
A clanging sound was heard, and Wei Mingzhu turned around and realized what had happened.
At that time, an old lady accidentally bumped into Wei Mingzhu, and her body fell uncontrollably under the bridge.
Just when I thought I was going to be soaked again, someone hugged me by the waist, stepped onto the water, and walked to the other side of the bridge.
Wei Mingzhu had never been hugged by a man in her life, especially in such a short period of time, but this man saved her twice.
Wei Mingzhu's cheeks flushed, "Thank you for saving me, sir."
The tone is so gentle that it can squeeze water out of you.
The man who saved her was none other than a certain prince who had received instructions and put on a mask.
I was still thinking about how to talk to her, but then I saw someone trying to kill Wei Mingzhu. It was like someone was giving me a pillow and breaking it.
only--
"Who have you offended that wants to kill you?"
He attacked from the bridge and pretended to fall into the water, without anyone noticing.
It's really cruel.
If he hadn't been there, things would have been very dangerous.
Wei Mingzhu guessed it was Song Nanyue and Du Xiner, but she had no evidence and didn't dare to say anything.
Wei Mingzhu shook her head. "Young Master, you saved me twice. I don't know where your mansion is. Tomorrow I'll have my eldest brother go to your house to thank you on my behalf."
If he said it was Prince Teng's Palace, Prince Yuzhang would suspect that she would want to kick him into the water.
Prince Yuzhang said, "It's just a small favor. Where are you going, young lady? I'll take you there."
Wei Mingzhu didn't dare to let anyone send her away casually.
There were many people on the street, but many knew her too. Her reputation had already been ruined by the Prince of Yuzhang, and now she had a reputation for having a secret meeting with a man...
Wei Mingzhu shook her head, "I dare not waste your time."
Prince Yuzhang asked, "Aren't you afraid that someone is watching you in the dark?"
Wei Mingzhu felt a chill on his back.
If it hadn't been a man, she would have had holes in her body.
It's not shameful to be afraid of death...
There was a mask seller not far away, so Wei Mingzhu went over and bought one and put it on.
Just as he put it on, he saw someone coming over there in gorgeous clothes. Wei Mingzhu squatted down decisively and hid behind a small stall.
Prince Yuzhang was stunned. "Who are you hiding from?"
Wei Mingzhu said, "I was mistaken. I thought it was the Prince of Yuzhang..."
Prince of Yuzhang, “…”
whoosh.
A sharp arrow pierced his heart.
Prince Yuzhang pursed his lips and said, "Are you so afraid of him?"
Wei Mingzhu held her neck high. "Of course I'm not afraid of him. It's just that every time I run into him, nothing good happens. I don't want him to ruin my mood at the Lantern Festival, which I've finally managed."
Another arrow.
Prince Yuzhang was heartbroken.
