Chapter 334 The Princess Wants to Show Off 30
The Crown Princess turned around and went back to the study.
She opened the envelope and took out the thin piece of letter paper. She looked at it under the light and saw only three big words on it: Yingchun Building.
"Yingchun Building?"
The Crown Princess narrowed her eyes and immediately called her secret guards to investigate.
The Crown Princess had many capable people under her, and the secret guards were all very powerful. They quickly traced back to Mingjin's sister through the manager of Yingchun Tower, and then to a wealthy businessman from his sister. They followed the clues all the way and found out that the wealthy businessman's brother was the husband of one of Mingjin's trusted subordinates.
After many twists and turns, the clue was finally traced back to Mingjin.
The Crown Princess was furious. She killed the man first and then reported to the emperor. She personally sent people to surround Yingchun Tower.
The Yingchun Tower was closed during the day and was deserted, with most of the husbands still asleep. The Crown Princess simply ordered the door to be broken down, and the head of the building led people to fight back, and the Crown Princess's personal guards then drew their swords to fight back.
Taking advantage of the confrontation, the others went straight to the fourth floor. Without the need for a key, several people kicked the door open together, and the secret hidden inside was immediately exposed to everyone.
The Crown Princess immediately ordered that all the contents be packed up and taken away.
Seeing that he could no longer hold back, the incharge rushed forward desperately, took out a lighter and started to light the fire.
The attic suddenly fell into chaos.
Fortunately, the box was finally snatched away by the Crown Princess.
Just as the guards escorted her out of the building, Yingchun Building turned into a sea of fire with thick smoke.
Mingnan stood on the building across the street, watching this scene, with a smile on his face.
"Oh, now the fun begins."
Xie Wuyu approached from behind with a cup of tea in his hand. "Do you want to go down?"
"No." Mingnan took it and took a sip. It was sweet flower tea. She squinted her eyes in satisfaction. "I said I'd take you out to play today. The rest has nothing to do with me."
"Let's go out of town and ride horses."
…
Mingnan didn't know, nor did he care, how the emperor flew into a rage after the Crown Princess entered the palace, and how Mingjin apologized profusely.
After she and Xie Wuyu had a delicious breakfast, they took a carriage out of the city and went to their largest estate, which had open mountains and beautiful scenery, perfect for horse racing.
There are ready-made horses in the horse farm, each one is sleek and shiny and extremely strong.
Mingnan personally took Xie Wuyu to choose, waved his hand, and said generously: "Pick the one you like best."
Xie Wu Yu walked from beginning to end and looked around. He saw a horse that was completely snow-white with an extremely arrogant look in its eyes.
He couldn't help but stop and reach out to touch it.
The white horse took a step back, seemingly unwillingly.
Mingnan couldn't help laughing, "This arrogance is somewhat like Xie Lang."
Xie Wuyu: "..."
He tilted his head and glared at her, "I look like a horse?"
Mingnan leaned in and kissed him, "No, you're the prettiest."
The corners of Xie Wu Yu's mouth lifted uncontrollably, but then he pursed them tightly.
"This is it."
Upon hearing this, the servant serving behind immediately stepped forward and led the white horse out.
The remaining horses were all similar in size, so Mingnan picked the tallest one.
The two men came out of the stable and looked out, seeing a vast expanse of land and sky.
The grass is green, dotted with colorful flowers, swaying freely.
The mountain breeze blew from afar, bringing with it a fresh and pleasant scent of grass and trees.
Xie Wuyou stood at the side of the horse, opened his arms, took a deep breath, and let the wind blow through his thin clothes.
It was a cool breeze, but it made his blood boil.
Mingnan looked at his relaxed brows and curled his lips silently.
[At your prime, you are stuck in the backyard all day. You must be bored, right?]
Xie Wu Yu slowly opened his eyes and tilted his head to look. The wind blew his long hair, a strand of which covered his face.
Mingnan raised his hand to hold it behind his ear and asked with a smile, "Bibi?"
Xie Wuyu was instantly inspired to fight, and nodded slightly, "How do we compete?"
"There's a river in the valley ahead, and there's a big willow tree beside the river. Let's see who gets there first."
Xie Wuyu glanced at it. He couldn't see the river from here, so it must be a bit far away. "What if we win? What if we lose?"
Mingnan climbed onto the horse, pulled the reins and asked, "What do you want?"
Xie Wuyu thought for a moment, looked up and said, "If I win, give me this white horse."
"Okay, but what if I win?" Mingnan tilted his head and stared at him.
Xie Wuyu held out his hands, "What do you want?"
Mingnan thought about it seriously for a while, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "If I win, you will admit in person that you like me, how about that?"
"That's it?" Xie Wuyu raised his eyebrows.
"Yeah." Mingnan nodded.
"Okay, let's wait and see."
Xie Wuyou stepped on the stirrups and got on the horse with one stride.
The two looked at each other and saw the same fighting intention in each other's eyes.
Mingnan leaned forward slightly, tightened his grip on the whip and said, "I'll count to three—"
"Three, two, one—"
The two men whipped their whips at the same time, and two horses, one black and one white, immediately rushed out, crossing the mountains and plains like two lightning bolts.
"Drive——"
The strong wind blew the horse's mane and lifted the sleeves of the two people.
Mingnan was wearing a moon-white shirt today, with his wide sleeves rustling in the wind, like a cloud that had fallen into the mortal world.
Xie Wu Yu, dressed in red, fluttering like fire, walked side by side with her.
The two were evenly matched and chased after each other relentlessly.
Excitement, tension and joy filled their chests. By the time they reached the back, it was no longer just a competition. Both of them devoted themselves to horse racing and enjoyed the joy of galloping to their heart's content at this moment.
It was rare for a horse to run so fast, and when it ran really fast it almost looked like it was about to fly.
Mingnan couldn't help but shout, "Good horse!"
Xie Wuyu also laughed, his spirits high, "Lord, be careful, or you might lose in a while."
"Keep that to yourself."
Mingnan glanced at him and said, "Drive!"
Xie Wu Yu chuckled, and pinched the horse's belly, and the white horse rushed out like a meteor.
The sound of hurried horse hooves echoed through the valley, one after another, occasionally overlapping.
After turning a corner, the view in front of them suddenly opened up and they could vaguely hear the sound of gurgling river.
The big willow tree was right in front of them. The two of them looked at each other at the same time. No one spoke, but they were all working hard.
It seemed like they were almost there, but the two of them still couldn't tell who was better.
Xie Wu Yu tilted his head and glanced at Ming Nan.
Mingnan's hair had become a little disheveled due to the violent shaking, with the strands of hair fluttering in the wind at the sides of her face. Sweat beads were sliding down the corners of her forehead, but she didn't even bother to wipe them off. She pursed her lips tightly, with an expression that was more serious than ever before.
The wide sleeves flew up, revealing a slender white wrist.
She gripped the reins so tightly that her knuckles turned white.
At that moment, Xie Wuyu seemed to be hit by something and his heart softened.
In just a moment of distraction, Mingnan had already arrived under the tree.
"Please——"
Mingnan tightened the reins, and the horse raised its front hooves and neighed before stopping.
Xie Wuyu followed closely behind, let the horse walk back and forth along the river, and came back and said: "Congratulations, you win."
Mingnan sat on the horse's back to catch his breath. He glanced at him and said firmly, "You let him go."
Xie Wuyu shook his head, "No, I was distracted myself."
"Why distraction?"
