She is a heartthrob who wants to live a good life

Chapter 48: The Scheming Princess 5

King Qingyang Shen Jizhong is the only king of a different surname in Beiye. His ancestors followed the king in battle, and half of Beiye’s territory was conquered by the first King Qingyang.

In order to show his appreciation for the brotherhood, Emperor Gaozu bestowed the title of King of Qingyang on them and granted him the hereditary title.

Since the first King Qingyang and Queen Qingyang both passed away in August, the descendants of the Qingyang Palace go to Tanming Temple to pray for a month every August.

As soon as Shen Weicang walked out of the door of Wanfuyuan, he saw his brother Shen Ruowu waiting for him.

Shen Ruowu was wearing a blue shirt with green bamboo embroidered on the cuffs and collar, which made him look elegant and refined.

Seeing Shen Weicang coming out, he went to meet him and asked, "Why are you so pale?"

Qingmei explained: "The princess had a nightmare last night, so she must have been frightened."

Shen Ruowu frowned: "It's still early, why not ask the palace doctor to come and take a look first."

Shen Weicang shook his head: "Brother, I'm fine, it's just a dream."

The two of them walked to the gate of the palace. Shen Weicang's carriage was already ready. Shen Ruowu climbed on the horse and carefully reminded her: "If you feel unwell, you must tell your brother."

Shen Weicang smiled: "Brother, I'm not that delicate."

The tenderness in Shen Ruowu's eyes turned a little lonely when he saw the jade pendant around her waist.

He knew in his heart that both Xiao Chongyu and Xiao Chongling were qualified to fight for it, but he had no chance at all.

Thinking of how Shen Weicang had been following him since she was a child, how he had personally taught her the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, painting and even horse riding, and how they had grown up together but could only call each other brother and sister, Shen Ruowu clenched the reins tightly, and veins bulged on the back of his hands.

if......

Realizing what he was thinking, Shen Ruowu suddenly opened his eyes and warned himself in his heart not to have such an idea, which would bring fatal disaster to the whole family.

Shen Weicang was also frowning and looking worried in the carriage, with his little face wrinkled in confusion, which made Lumei and Qingmei feel very distressed.

No one knew what kind of nightmare the princess had last night. She kept muttering words like "impossible", "Xiao Chongyu", "you lied to me", etc. Her face was pale and she was covered in cold sweat. No matter how much she was called, she couldn't be awakened.

Finally, perhaps the scene in her dream was too terrifying, she woke up with a scream, gasping for breath and calling for Liuguang and Yicai, who were on guard, to come in and accompany her.

When Liuguang and Yicai told him about this this morning, they were obviously frightened by the princess' condition.

Lumei wondered in her heart whether she was possessed by a ghost. If so, it would be a good opportunity for her to go to Tanming Temple today and let Master Hongguang take a look at the princess.

Shen Weicang has been in a daze ever since he woke up last night.

She had a terrifying dream. In the dream, she would become Xiao Chongling's Princess Jing as she wished next year, and Xiao Chongyu would marry Chu Mingyue from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

But within half a year, he was reprimanded by the emperor for his failure to provide disaster relief and was deemed unfit to be the crown prince, and his position as crown prince was in jeopardy.

Shen Weicang gloated in her dream. Fortunately, she had long seen the emperor's favor for Xiao Chongling and chose Prince Jing.

However, Xiao Chongling did something that she couldn't understand.

When the forces in the court supporting him as the crown prince gradually overwhelmed Xiao Chongyu, Xiao Chongling took the initiative to volunteer to go to the southwest border to fight for the country.

Shen Weicang couldn't understand why he didn't seize such a good opportunity and instead gave in, so he had a big quarrel with Xiao Chongling and returned to Qingyang Palace overnight in anger.

But this failed to stop Xiao Chongling's determination. He waited outside the Qingyang Palace for a night, but failed to wait for Shen Weicang's forgiveness, so he turned around and set off.

Xiao Chongling's action was to show everyone that he had no intention of competing with Xiao Chongyu for the position of crown prince. The emperor had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​appointing a new crown prince.

Shen Weicang had given up hope when she saw that she could not get the position of queen. However, Xiao Chongyu found her and told her about his love for her. He also said that he wanted to divorce Chu Mingyue and make her the queen.

Shen Weicang believed Xiao Chongyu's sincerity and cooperated with him in a drama of robbery and successfully got rid of Xiao Chongling.

Xiao Chongyu did keep his promise and made her the queen, but she was so excited that she pretended to be understanding and persuaded Xiao Chongyu to fulfill her wish and make her a noble concubine because of Chu Mingyue's infatuation with him.

He thought his dream had come true and he could rest easy from then on, but after Chu Mingyue's death, Xiao Chongyu acted like a madman.

First, she was suddenly deposed from her position as queen, and then evidence of treason was discovered in Qingyang Palace.

Xiao Chongyu suppressed all officials of the Qingyang Palace with thundering means. Before waiting for the autumn, he sent people to raid the palace and killed everyone in the palace on the spot.

Only then did Shen Weicang realize that all his love was just exploitation, although she never figured out until her death what purpose Xiao Chongyu wanted to achieve by using her.

When she was poisoned by the secret guards around Xiao Chongyu and died in pain with vomiting blood, Xiao Chongyu sat in the upper seat and watched coldly.

After Shen Weicang woke up, he still clearly remembered the feeling of excruciating pain and what Xiao Chongyu said: "It was you who dragged me to repeatedly provoke Mingyue, which led to her death. You and the Qingyang Palace all deserve to die."

Thinking of Xiao Chongyu's murderous eyes in his dream, Shen Weicang couldn't help but shudder.

Why did she have such a realistic dream? Was it a warning for the future?

Shen Weicang reached out and grasped the jade pendant at his waist and fell into deep thought.

Except for the granted marriage between Xiao Chongyu and Chu Mingyue, everything else seemed to match up vaguely.

However, in the dream, Xiao Chongyu and Chu Mingyue's marriage was not very glorious. For some reason, it did not happen in reality.

Shen Weicang did not tell anyone about the content of her dream. She decided to observe for a while to see what the situation was.

The carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain, and Shen Weicang and Shen Ruowu had to walk up.

Seeing that Shen Weicang's complexion had improved a lot, he felt relieved a little. He reached out and grabbed her sleeve and led her up the mountain.

Shen Weicang was worried and slipped and almost fell.

Shen Ruowu quickly hugged her and asked with concern: "Did you sprain your ankle?"

Shen Weicang shook his head absentmindedly, with a forced smile: "Brother, I'm fine."

Shen Ruowu became suspicious. Shen Weicang couldn't keep things to himself normally and would tell him everything. But this time he was obviously worried but didn't tell his brother. Could it be his daughter's worry?

Just as Shen Ruowu was thinking about this, Xiao Chongling's anxious voice came from behind him: "What happened to Cangcang?"

Shen Ruowu woke up as if from a dream and quickly let go of his hand.

Shen Weicang turned around and saw Xiao Chongling, who was dressed in a white shirt and as gentle as jade, standing in front of him. He threw himself into his arms as if he had finally found his backbone: "Brother King Jing."

Hearing the sobbing tone in her voice, Xiao Chongling thought she was injured, and hurriedly hugged her to comfort her: "What's wrong with Cangcang? Where are you injured? Tell Brother Jingwang?"

Shen Weicang buried his head in his chest and kept shaking his head. He was unable to speak, but tears kept flowing out.

Xiao Chongling was obviously heartbroken, but because Shen Ruowu was there, he didn't do anything inappropriate and just glanced at him.

Shen Ruowu clenched his fists, trying his best to maintain the attitude of a brother: "I will leave Cang Cang to Your Highness. I will go up the mountain first."
