Chapter 63 Wolf Boy's Black Moonlight Master 31
Ever since Shen Xinran came to the Eastern Palace, Wang Shichang has been having dinner with her almost every day, showing what a good man he is.
Sometimes he wanted to make a move on Shen Xinran, but was always beaten back by Shen Xinran.
Wang Shichang was not angry, but smiled faintly at Chen Xinran, "Zhirou, I'm waiting for the day when you open your heart to me."
After hearing this, Shen Xinran just wanted to vomit. Men are just cheap, what they can't get is always the best.
At noon that day, Wang Shichang had just sat down to eat when a eunuch came to report: "Your Majesty, the Emperor wants to see you for something. He wants you to come over."
Wang Shichang was skeptical, but he believed that no one would scold him for such a trivial matter. So, he stood up and said goodbye to Shen Xinran: "Zhirou, I'm going to see my father first. You can eat first."
Shen Xinran ate his meal without raising his head, with a dull expression.
Not long after Wang Shichang left, there was a commotion outside the East Palace.
"Your Highness, you cannot go in."
"I'm the future Crown Princess, why won't you let me in?"
As soon as Shen Xinran heard it, she knew it was Sima Yangyu. She put down her chopsticks and walked to the gate of the courtyard. She smiled lightly and said, "Your Highness, long time no see!"
Sima Yangyu almost exploded the moment she saw Shen Xinran. She had been looking for Wang Shichang to have dinner with her these past few days, but Wang Shichang always said he had something to do.
A woman's sixth sense told her that something was amiss in the East Palace, so she had Wang Shichang sent away. Unexpectedly, the person she hated the most, Xie Zhirou, was hiding in the East Palace.
Sima Yangyu pointed at Shen Xinran's nose and cursed: "You little bitch, how dare you seduce my cousin."
Shen Xinran frowned slightly and cried out in injustice: "Don't talk nonsense, it was clearly Wang Shichang who had me tied up."
Sima Yangyu's anger escalated when he heard this. "How dare you slander my cousin!"
After Sima Yangyu finished speaking, she lifted her skirt and chased after Shen Xinran to beat her.
How could Shen Xinran stand there and let Sima Yangyu hit her? She started running.
She runs away, she chases.
The East Palace was instantly in chaos.
The servants wanted to stop them, but they were afraid of hurting the two nobles, so they could only persuade them verbally, "Oh, stop it, the prince will be angry if he knows."
Shen Xinran seized the opportunity and ran out of the Eastern Palace. Moreover, she ran to where there were many people. She wanted to make a scene known to everyone, just in case the news reached Liu Yuan's ears.
But ideals are full of hope, while reality is very skinny. As soon as she ran out, she ran into Wang Shichang head-on.
Wang Shichang thought about it and felt it was strange, because he had just come from his father's place, why did his father let him go there again? He wanted to come back to take a look, but he didn't expect to see this farce. Wang Shichang's expression suddenly darkened.
Shen Xinran's eyes rolled. She had been with Liu Yuan for so long that she had learned a little bit of his gossip.
She ran directly behind Wang Shichang, wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes, and whispered: "You said you treated me sincerely, but look at Sima Yangyu, she broke into the East Palace and actually chased me and beat me."
The woman was wearing a white gauze dress, pure and flawless, like a fairy. And this fairy was telling him about her grievances.
This greatly satisfied Wang Shichang's desire to protect. He walked up to Sima Yangyu and slapped him in the face.
She also shouted at Sima Yangyu, "Have I been too indulgent with you? How dare you break into the East Palace?"
Wang Shichang's slap left Sima Yangyu and even Shen Xinran stunned. They were cousins, and Wang Shichang really had the guts to do that.
Sima Yangyu raised his head, tears in his eyes, and said through gritted teeth: "I gave up all my relatives for you, and you dare to hit me!"
Wang Shichang frowned, "Cousin, be careful with your words!"
Sima Yangyu opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she found Wang Shichang looking at her with hostility. She was stunned and stared at Wang Shichang blankly, without reacting for a long time.
Shen Xinran's eyes flashed. Although Sima Yangyu didn't finish his words, she still guessed what Sima Yangyu meant.
The late Empress Dowager was sensitive to the Wang family's ambitions and chose her son over her family. She kept a close eye on the five-year-old emperor and hardly allowed him to have much contact with the Wang family.
But Wang Wende still had a solution. He made a deal with Sima Yangyu. As long as Sima Yangyu helped him ascend the throne, she would let Sima Yangyu become the Crown Princess. No matter how the Queen Mother was on guard, she could not have expected that her daughter would attack her own son.
For the sake of Wang Shichang, Sima Yangyu killed her grandmother and her younger brother with her own hands, and became estranged from her beloved mother.
Ultimately, it was men who caused the trouble! But Sima Yangyu was also a ruthless person.
A man in eunuch's clothes came over and bowed to Wang Shichang and said, "Prince, His Majesty wants you to come over."
Wang Shichang recognized that this was his father's personal eunuch, so this time his father was really looking for him.
Wang Shichang nodded and turned to leave. But halfway through, he turned back and told the eunuch beside him, "You are responsible for taking Miss Xie back."
Shen Xinran knew that Wang Shichang was worried that she would run away. She smiled faintly and did not respond, but slowly walked towards the East Palace.
When she passed by Sima Yangyu, she stopped, glanced at her, and said softly, "Is it really worth it to make yourself look like this for a man?"
"None of your business." Sima Yangyu glared at Shen Xinran fiercely. But when Shen Xinran walked away, she looked up at the sky, dazed and absent-minded, tears streaming down her cheeks.
She couldn't believe that she had given up everything for him, but in the end this was the result. She also began to ask herself, was it really worth it?
Liu Yuan had his men searching for her for nearly half a month, but still to no avail. He was so anxious that his hair turned white. He didn't know where the young lady was now, whether she was suffering, or whether she missed him.
The tall and thin man suddenly walked in with a letter, "Brother, this is the one the concierge just received, and he specifically asked to give it to you."
Liu Yuan took the letter and saw that it was actually from Sima Yangyu. But why would Sima Yangyu write to him? Liu Yuan began to frown.
He opened the letter and read its contents, which made him so angry that he almost gnashed his teeth. "We will return to Chenghan and raise troops in Jiankang!"
The tall and thin man was a little surprised, "Why do you want to fight Jiankang all of a sudden?"
Liu Yuan narrowed his eyes, a murderous aura emanating from his entire body. "If Wang Shichang dares to touch my lady, I will kill him!"
When Wang Wende received the news, Cheng Han's army was only half a month away from Jiankang.
Wang Wende was a little surprised, "Why would King Cheng Han suddenly attack me?"
Wang Shichang, who was still standing by, had a guess in his mind. He smiled stiffly and said, "It's okay. They only have 50,000 troops. We have twice as many as they do."
Wang Wende frowned and said nothing, because he knew that half of the 100,000 troops under his command were inherited from Meng Fu.
Ever since Meng Fu disappeared, the Meng family army has been like a pile of loose sand, with no one submitting to the other. If they really faced King Cheng Han, they might not be able to defeat him.
After Wang Shichang returned to the Eastern Palace, he instructed the maids and eunuchs, "Keep a close eye on Miss Xie. Don't let her out these days, and don't let anyone see her."
Although Wang Shichang didn't say anything to Shen Xinran, Shen Xinran still learned the news that King Cheng Han had called from the conversation among the maids and eunuchs.
This surprised her a little. Was Liu Yuan attacking Jiankang in advance?
She was not worried about Liu Yuan's safety. After all, he was the male protagonist and could survive in desperate situations.
She was worried about herself now because she found that she had not had her period for almost a month and a half.
Shen Xinran touched her belly with her hand, wondering if that bastard was right!
Thinking of this, Shen Xinran's resentment towards Liu Yuan deepened a lot.
