Chapter 591: Picking Flowers as a Gift to a Beautiful Woman (2)
But today, there was a person in the boat frozen in the middle of the water.
Xie Changwu sat in the boat, rubbing his hands nervously. Perhaps it was a guilty conscience, or perhaps it was the nervousness Xie Changchao had told him about the Shen Xin's men still secretly spying on him that made him nervous. He didn't even take a hand warmer, let alone light a fire to keep warm. He was already heavily dressed, but being near the water was already colder, and the fact that the boat on the lake had been deserted for days made the chill even more biting.
Xie Changwu looked outside the boat, but didn't see anyone, so he felt a little anxious.
Xie Changchao mentioned in his letter that they would meet on a boat on Wanli Lake late at night. He said that the capital city had been searched thoroughly and was full of Chen Xin's spies, making the outside world even more unsafe. Wanli Lake was deserted in winter, so no one would see it, which was the only way it was safe. He would then bring a few more people with him and let Princess Ming'an witness Shen Miao being insulted with her own eyes. Princess Ming'an would naturally feel relieved. The wind was strong on the lake, and the windows and doors of the restaurant closest to the lake were tightly closed. No one would notice what was happening on this side. With the right time, place, and people, it was a sure thing.
Xie Changwu was somewhat reluctant, but Xie Changchao had already arranged everything, so Xie Changwu had no choice but to accept it. However, as midnight approached and no one showed up, he couldn't help but feel anxious.
Just as he was thinking, he heard a slight movement outside. Xie Changwu was startled, then he opened the window of the boat with some joy. Sure enough, he saw a figure coming in the distance, with someone on his back. Xie Changwu thought that it must be Xie Changchao carrying Shen Miao, so he breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the bow to meet him.
The man walked closer and closer. As he got closer, Xie Changwu sensed something was amiss. Xie Changchao was not taller than the man, and his figure didn't resemble his. Feeling uneasy, he was about to step back when he saw the man light a fire. A familiar voice rang out, "Xie Changwu, what are you doing?"
Xie Changwu looked in surprise, only to see that the person who came was a guard, and the person lying on his back was Princess Ming'an.
Princess Ming'an was very unhappy.
Xie Changwu's letter to her was about a date at Wanli Lake, late at night. Qin Kingdom's perpetual spring weather was a constant. She was unaccustomed to the harsh winter temperatures of Mingqi, and now she was shivering with cold. Fearing discovery by Huangfu Hao, Princess Ming'an could only quietly leave at night with a few of her personal guards. Xie Changwu's chosen location was inside the pleasure boat, so one guard had to carry her there, while the others remained outside. Princess Ming'an was already extremely delicate, and if she hadn't wanted to witness Shen Miao's struggle to survive, she wouldn't have pushed herself this far. The moment she saw Xie Changwu, she vented her anger.
Xie Changwu asked, "Why is Her Royal Highness the Princess here?"
“Xie Changwu, are you crazy?” Princess Ming’an said angrily, “Didn’t you ask me to come here so that I could admire Shen Miao’s ugliness? What nonsense are you talking about now?”
Xie Changwu was somewhat bewildered. Although Xie Changchao's letter had mentioned that Xie Changwu should bring Princess Ming'an with him to admire her, so as to appease her anger, Xie Changwu himself had been cautious. He was afraid that something unexpected might happen and Princess Ming'an would be dragged into the affair, which would only lead to bad consequences. Moreover, today's matter was not foolproof. If Princess Ming'an came and failed to humiliate Shen Miao, what would happen if Princess Ming'an became even more angry? Therefore, Xie Changwu did not make any move to invite Princess Ming'an.
But Princess Ming'an showed up here now, saying that Xie Changwu asked her to come. For some reason, Xie Changwu felt a strong sense of unease in his heart.
Seeing Xie Changwu's puzzled face, Princess Ming'an became even more displeased and said, "Xie Changwu, are you kidding me?"
