Chapter 592: Picking Flowers as a Gift to a Beautiful Woman (3)
"I dare not." Xie Changwu said with sweat on his forehead, "It's just that I really have never written a letter to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Upon hearing this, Princess Ming An angrily said, "Since you haven't written to me, then explain to me why you are here right now. As the letter says, tonight you want to give Shen Miao a painful experience she will never forget, so why didn't you tell me?"
Xie Changwu was speechless, but secretly surprised. The letter actually stated everything he planned to do, and it was clear that only he and Xie Changchao knew about it. If this letter was written by Xie Changchao to Princess Ming'an, why would Xie Changchao do this? He could only say, "I do think so, but Shen Miao is in my brother's hands now, and I am still waiting for him to come."
"Xie Changchao?" Princess Ming'an frowned. "Are you brothers not together?"
Xie Changwu didn't dare to reveal the fact that Xie Changchao had been missing for many days, so he could only vaguely respond, "To avoid arousing suspicion, Third Brother and I acted separately."
Princess Ming An did not doubt it. After thinking for a while, she asked again, “What you said, that Shen Miao returned to the Shen residence was just a scam by Shen Xin and Princess Rong Xin, is this true?”
Xie Changwu's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "That's right." Actually, Xie Changwu had some doubts, after all, this was just Xie Changchao's one-sided account. But now he had no choice but to trust Xie Changchao. Xie Changwu didn't doubt the letter on his desk was a fake. After all, the only person in the world who could imitate Xie Changchao's handwriting was Xie Changwu. Furthermore, the brothers' secret code was impossible for anyone else to know.
Princess Ming'an rubbed her hands, probably because they were unusually cold, and shouted at Xie Changwu, "When will Xie Changchao come over?"
Xie Changwu felt bitter but could not express it. He said, "Third brother said to come at midnight."
"What time is it now?" Princess Ming'an asked her attendant, and the attendant replied, "It's almost midnight."
Outside, the wind and snow howled, chilling him to the very core. For some reason, Xie Changwu felt a surge of unease. His heartbeat raced as he gazed at the dark night sky, his heart beating rapidly, as if sensing danger and instinctively wanting to escape. He looked tentatively at Princess Ming'an and asked, "Why don't you go back first, Your Highness? If you have any news, I'll tell you the next day."
"Do you think I'm playing tricks on you?" Princess Ming'an flew into a rage. "I've already come here in person, and you're asking me to go back now, Xie Changwu? I can chop off your head at any time!"
Princess Ming'an was so domineering and fierce that Xie Changwu could only smile bitterly and said nothing more. However, he heard the sound of footsteps outside. Princess Ming'an's face lit up and she said, "Here they come!"
The two walked to the bow to take a look, and suddenly saw a group of men in black appear on the frozen lake. They were all wrapped up from head to toe, with only their eyes visible, making it difficult to see their faces. Princess Ming'an's expression eased slightly, and she said, "They're quite discreet." Then she glanced at the dozens of people and frowned, "Where is Shen Miao?"
These men in black were all male, and there was no sign of Shen Miao. Princess Ming An looked back at Xie Changwu unhappily: "What's going on with Xie Changchao?"
When Xie Changwu saw these ten or so men in black, he instinctively felt a chill down his spine. These ten people definitely did not look like good people, not to mention that Xie Changwu had never seen Xie Changchao among them.
Xie Changwu wanted to escape, but in this icy and snowy weather, the surface of Wanli Lake was frozen over, making walking on the ice slippery. Moreover, the lake was quite large, and there was not even any shelter. Escape was not easy at all. Seeing Princess Ming'an's displeasure, Xie Changwu boldly shouted, "Who are you?"
