Chapter 407: What does it have to do with him, the ex-husband?
"I don't want to." Mo Jinchuan walked in with a cold expression.
The pride in Zhuang Shihan's eyes turned into embarrassment and she bit her lower lip and said, "I know that someone must have said something nonsense in His Highness's ear these days, causing His Highness to misunderstand me.
But true gold fears no fire. If Your Majesty gives me some time, I will be able to prove to Your Majesty that every word they say is a lie."
She glanced at Song Yanxi and said sarcastically, "I've always been open and honest in what I do. One is one, two is two.
Unlike some people who always say they won't fight or compete, but secretly play tricks and do things that are not worthy of public display, and they are not ashamed of being both a leader and a villain.
Song Yanxi listened from the side and nodded in agreement, saying, "Princess Shihan is right. I also hate people who are two-faced."
Zhuang Shihan raised her eyebrows upon hearing this, "Do you really think so?"
"Of course." Song Yanxi answered frankly.
It seemed as if the impassioned speech just now came from her mouth and not Zhuang Shihan.
Zhuang Shihan's face darkened and she cursed, "Hypocrisy!"
Song Yanxi pretended not to know and asked with a smile, "What did Princess Shihan just say?"
Knowing that she did it on purpose, Zhuang Shihan was about to explode, but she caught a glimpse of Lin Tingfeng's warning eyes and suddenly felt bored.
Doesn't this person take himself too seriously?
Song Yanxi didn't say anything, why was he so anxious?
Even if there really was someone who couldn't stand her weird behavior and jumped out to protect her, it should be His Royal Highness Prince Renjin. Why would it have anything to do with her ex-husband?
Pained by the deep sarcasm in her eyes, Lin Tingfeng slowly tightened his hands under the table and felt a sharp pain in his palms.
It turned out that the wound that was cut by the porcelain fragment yesterday had broken open and was bleeding again.
But what hurts more is his heart.
He could clearly feel that Shihan's love for him had not been as strong as before recently, and her patience with him was almost exhausted.
This is not a good sign for their relationship.
Sensing the strange atmosphere, Military Doctor Liu coughed lightly and said, "Now that the prince has returned, I believe the military affairs have been dealt with. Hurry up and eat something to warm yourself up so that you can continue your journey while it's still early."
Mo Jinchuan nodded his chin slightly, and under Zhuang Shihan's burning gaze, he sat down on the bench opposite Song Yanxi.
Military Doctor Liu and Military Doctor Li sat on both sides, just enough space for four people to sit at the table.
Seeing this, the waiter hurriedly called the kitchen staff to come out and serve the dishes.
A group of people filed out, and in just a few blinks of an eye, the table in front of them was filled up and two bowls of noodles were taken away.
Looking at the table full of delicious dishes, Doctor Liu stroked his beard and said with a look of ridicule, "If it weren't for the help of His Royal Highness Prince Jin, I wouldn't have such a great honor to taste the cooking skills of this inn's chef."
The chef standing by was sweating profusely and his legs were so weak that he could hardly stand.
Isn't what Mr. Liu said asking for their lives?
Mo Jinchuan took the pot and poured him a glass of wine, saying with a smile, "Old Liu's temper has really not changed from what it was before."
Doctor Liu quickly took the wine glass, put it under his nose and sniffed it, saying with an intoxicated look on his face, "A pot of spring wine, it still tastes the same as before."
He thought of something and sighed, "Such fine wine can only be made at Juweizhai, located at the foot of the imperial city. Now that the prince is gone, I don't know when I'll be able to drink it again."
Song Yanxi was a little surprised, "I didn't expect that Mr. Liu would like this."
She was silent for a few moments, and thought to herself that she would tell her younger brother after returning to Beijing, and ask him to send a cart with a pot of Chunlai tea so that he could drink as much as he wanted.
Mo Jinchuan smiled and shook his head, "It's more than good. If it were a few years ago, this jar of wine might not even be enough for him to drink alone."
Song Yanxi murmured, "It really is a huge amount."
Doctor Liu raised his eyelids and chuckled, "That's just the beginning. My alcohol tolerance is far inferior to that of the prince. The three of us old men combined can't drink more than him."
"Really?" Recalling the slightly red tips of Mo Jinchuan's ears when they were drinking last night, Song Yanxi's heart moved slightly, and the fingers holding the chopsticks couldn't help but tighten a little.
It turned out that he was not drunk at that time.
Speaking of Mo Jinchuan's alcohol tolerance, Doctor Liu had something to say. After two glasses of wine, he pulled Song Yanxi over and started talking.
From when Mo Jinchuan was sixteen to when he was twenty-six.
In the past ten years, so many things have happened. It is just that people's hearts are fickle and the world is unpredictable.
What Song Yanxi remembered most clearly was the incident when Mo Jinchuan was eighteen years old and led a hundred soldiers to attack the enemy camp at night and killed a general of the Liang army.
The mischievous look that flashed across Doctor Liu's eyes when he talked about this, as well as the chicken leg that Mo Jinchuan put right into his bowl, both proved this point.
Mo Jinchuan didn't want Song Yanxi to know the inside story of this matter.
But he couldn't stop Doctor Liu from getting excited, nor could he stop her curious heart.
As it turned out, Song Yanxi was not wrong.
The reason why the young and energetic Mo Jinchuan took such a big risk and went deep into the enemy camp to teach the Liang army a lesson was because the Emperor of Liang became lustful after seeing his portrait.
In front of all the civil and military officials in the court, he threatened to capture Ke Shan unscathed on the battlefield and send him to his harem as a concubine.
He is the dignified Prince of Da'an and a man of young blood. How could he endure such humiliation?
Doctor Liu was so excited that he couldn't help but sigh, "It's such a pity for General Ke. He followed the wrong monarch and ended up with his head and body separated."
Mo Jinchuan finished his drink, then glanced at the two people at the opposite table who were clearly not paying attention to their food. He sighed softly and said, "We have different stances, so we are destined to be enemies."
"That's true!" Military Doctor Liu grabbed the wine jug and poured himself another glass. He glanced at Lin Tingfeng and said, "General Ke is a remarkable warrior. He could have fought Your Highness for several moves on the battlefield. I didn't expect him to be unable to withstand even ten moves from General Lin."
He burped and said jokingly, "So, General Lin's skills are actually even better than your Highness's."
Zhuang Shihan's brows furrowed as she listened, unable to contain herself any longer, and she retorted, "What are you talking about, Doctor Liu? Brother Feng has fought Ke Shan on the battlefield for over two years, and he's already figured out his martial arts.
The reason he won was the result of his hard work."
Doctor Liu raised his eyebrows in amusement, "From what Princess Shihan said, are the prince and General Xu not working hard enough?"
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Shihan couldn't help but sneer in her eyes.
She folded her arms and said with disdain, "I don't know whether the prince has tried hard or not, but Xu Xiao is far behind."
Lin Tingfeng scolded in a low voice: "Shihan, don't be rude."
Meeting his warning eyes, Zhuang Shihan curled her lips and muttered softly, "What are you afraid of? Xu Xiao dared to do it, so why would he be afraid of us..."
"Shihan!"
"I know. I won't say anything." Zhuang Shihan rolled her eyes, obviously very angry.
Song Yanxi was aroused by her words.
When they first arrived at the border town, although they were dissatisfied with Uncle Xu in their hearts, they always did a good job of saving face and no one could find fault with them.
How long has it been?
What happened in the meantime that made Zhuang Shihan look so hateful when she mentioned Uncle Xu?
Meeting her doubtful gaze, Zhuang Shihan raised her eyebrows provocatively, moved her red lips, and said silently, "Guess."
