Chapter 130 Your Hands Are So Cold
Sun Mingzong was unhappy. "Princess, you are wrong. You and I are both being plotted against. Moreover, the Crown Prince said that he would marry you to me. Why do you have to—"
"Ahhhh!" Sun Mingzong hadn't finished his words when Xiao Fufeng went crazy upon hearing the word "granted marriage". He picked up any cups and ornaments that were nearby and smashed them hard at Sun Mingzong.
"Get out! Get out of here! How could I possibly marry someone like you?"
"I'm going to kill you! I'm going to ask my father to put you to death! I'd rather die than marry someone like you!"
Sun Mingzong was hit on the head and was bleeding. He looked at Xiao Fufeng with resentment in his eyes, then walked out covering his forehead.
Just now on the couch, he clearly remembered how sweetly she had been flirting with him, but when she got off the couch she pretended to be pure and innocent. Now she even dared to look down on him, and he didn't even despise her for being indecent!
Pooh!
-
Chen Shuwei watched from afar outside the tent until he saw Sun Mingzong walking out with his forehead covered and his clothes disheveled, his eyebrows slightly raised, obviously he didn't expect that the person who was hanging out with Xiao Fufeng was him.
After Sun Mingzong came out, he lowered his head and fled in a hurry, as if he was afraid of being seen.
"Let's go." Shen Shuwei said, but when he turned around, he found that Zhao Yun was gone.
She frowned, looked around but didn't see him. After hesitating for a while, she returned to her seat first.
Xiao Fufeng's scandal had spread throughout the hunting ground. Although no one dared to discuss it in front of the prince and others, they could still discuss it in a low voice behind their backs.
"The Third Princess has caused such a scandal, so is she forced to marry? I heard that the man on the Third Princess's bed is Sun Mingzong from the Sun family. Will the Third Princess be willing to marry into such a small family?" Someone said in a low voice, covering their mouth.
"Oh, now that things have gotten to this point, the third princess has to get married even if she doesn't want to. I just heard it clearly outside the tent. The prince sent a message back to the palace saying that he would grant them a marriage!" A woman with her hair full of pearls and jade interrupted excitedly.
"That Sun Mingzong isn't very good-looking, and he only managed to get third place in the palace examination. I wonder why the Third Princess is so attracted to him that she even went so far as to hang out with him on the day of the Winter Hunt. Tsk tsk tsk."
Shen Shuwei listened briefly and stopped listening. He returned to his seat and was about to sit down when the noisy voices in his ears suddenly stopped. Those who were still talking about Xiao Fufeng were like ducks with their necks strangled, and they didn't say a word.
A shadow descended in front of Shen Shuwei. She raised her eyes and met Xiao Chengping's gloomy gaze.
Shen Shu narrowed his eyes slightly, "Your Highness the Third Prince."
Xiao Chengping raised the corners of his lips in a cold arc, "I heard that Miss Shen was drunk just now, I wonder where she is?"
This was Xiao Fufeng, who suspected that she was plotting against him. A hint of sarcasm flashed through Shen Shuwei's heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She lowered her brows and replied respectfully, "Your Highness, after I got drunk, the maid helped me to the tent to rest."
"Really?" Xiao Chengping said coldly, "Then why did I send people to investigate near the Shen family's camp, and they all said they didn't see you return?
"It's better to tell the truth about where Miss Shen went just now."
Xiao Chengping took half a step closer and stood next to the desk in front of Chen Shuwei, with only a fist's distance between them.
The women around were also shocked by this sudden change.
This...what is going on?
Could it be that the Third Prince meant that Xiao Fufeng was being schemed against, and the person who schemed against her was Shen Shuwei?!
If that's true, it's a matter of life and death!
The female members of the family all held their breath and dared not speak, eating melons in secret.
It is unprecedented that a good winter hunt has turned into such a mess.
Chen Shuwei raised his face slightly, the smile on his face completely disappeared, and he met Xiao Chengping's eyes squarely, "What do you mean by this, Third Prince?"
Even if she was cold-hearted, she would still be angry after being drugged in such a vile way, not to mention that Xiao Chengping was now crying thief, thinking that she had framed Xiao Fufeng. This was truly ridiculous.
"Miss Shen, you'd better explain where you were during the time you left the table. If you can't explain clearly, I will invite you and the two brothers of the Shen family to the Dali Temple. The Dali Temple has plenty of ways to pry open your mouths."
As Xiao Chengping finished speaking, guards who were ready to go came up and surrounded Shen Shuwei.
"She was with me just now." A clear and ethereal voice came.
When the female relatives heard the pleasant and clear voice, they all turned their heads to look, only to see Zhao Yun in a moon-white robe, gracefully approaching like an immortal under the moon.
Zhao Yun walked slowly to Shen Shuwei's side, casually touching her shoulder, and looked at Xiao Chengping with a smile, repeating what he had just said, "Miss Shen was with me just now, and I left for a while to get my cloak. Is there anything wrong, Your Highness?"
When Xiao Chengping saw Zhao Yun, the corners of his lips straightened. He waved his hand to signal the group of guards to retreat and stared at the two of them without saying a word.
King Jing died, leaving behind his two legitimate sons, Zhao Yun and Zhao Yue, who were fighting each other like black-eyed chickens. The outcome was still undecided, and if one of them won, he would become the King Jing of Liangzhou in the future, commanding a hundred thousand cavalry.
There was no need for him to offend him for the sake of a sister who had lost her usefulness.
Zhao Yun slowly withdrew his gaze, took the fox fur cloak handed to him by Xun Xiao, and draped it over Shen Shuwei as if no one was around. He gently tied the belt for her despite her resistance and said softly, "Didn't I ask you to wait for me? I'll be back soon after I get the cloak."
"The wind is strong on the mountain. Look at your hands, they are cold." Zhao Yun held Shen Shuwei's hands and rubbed them gently, "Don't move, I'll warm you up."
A group of women watching the fun nearby were stunned by this scene.
This... Prince Jing and the third daughter of the Shen family!
When did this happen?!
Oh my God, is this really a winter hunt and not some kind of wedding banquet?
Xiao Chengping had not expected this sudden change. He never thought that Zhao Yun, who had always been cold-hearted and dared to be cruel to his own brother, would have such a gentle side.
Xiao Chengping pulled up the corners of his straight mouth, with a fake smile, "The prince is a very affectionate person."
Those who love you want you to live; those who hate you want you to die.
Zhao Yun raised his lips in a gentle arc, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness. I would also like to say the same thing to Your Highness's sister."
"To be able to do such a thing in the Winter Hunting Grounds shows that he is deeply in love. Your Highness, have you thought about how to help them both?"
Xiao Chengping's face turned pale in an instant, but he still maintained his composure, "Don't worry about that, Your Highness."
"Let's go." He turned around and shouted to the guards around him.
Princess Anyang, who was not far away, saw Xiao Chengping returning in defeat, then looked at Zhao Yun and Shen Shuwei, who were leaning against each other and whispering intimately. Her hand trembled and she spilled the drink in front of her, "This is impossible..."
"Why is Brother Ziyin with her..."
Lin Yan came back with a swift step and just heard Anyang's two lost murmurs. His eyes darkened as he thought of the remains of northern border herbs he had found from Sun Mingzong.
It seems that the prince must be sent to the capital as soon as possible, otherwise who knows what kind of accidents will happen.
