She is a heartthrob who wants to live a good life

Chapter 52: The Scheming Princess 9

The joy of seeing his beloved overwhelmed Xiao Chongyu's rationality, and he walked over to the two of them without thinking much.

Seeing him coming over, Chu Mingyue and Shen Weicang bowed to him together. He quickly said, "No need to bow. Why is the princess here with Miss Chu?"

As soon as Shen Weicang saw him, the fear in her bones made her want to escape involuntarily. She quickly lowered her head and clenched her hands together in a tangle.

Chu Mingyue watched coldly. Xiao Chongyu's eyes never left Shen Weicang. It turned out that he had fallen deeply in love with her so early on.

She thought it was ridiculous. If he already had a lover, why didn't he tell her when she was chasing him and trying to please her so that she would give up?

"Your Highness, I was just admiring the lotus flowers here, and the princess happened to be walking by here alone, so she came to chat with me."

Xiao Chongyu didn't hear a word Chu Mingyue said.

He stared at Shen Weicang with burning eyes. He really wanted to express his feelings to Cangcang right now, but he didn't know if Cangcang would be willing to wait for him if he really did so.

Shen Weicang could feel Xiao Chongyu staring at her. She was originally thinking of a way to get rid of him. She felt guilty and didn't even dare to raise her head. Her voice was weak: "Your Highness, I just chatted with Miss Chu for a few words."

Xiao Chongyu also noticed that she seemed a little afraid of him, so he deliberately softened his tone: "Princess, don't be nervous, I just asked casually. I wonder if the princess has been praying in Tanming Temple these days and has she needed anything?"

what?

Shen Weicang looked up blankly, subconsciously wanting to see what Xiao Chongyu's expression was.

Why would he ask this?

Seeing her frowning and troubled look, Xiao Chongyu curled the corners of his mouth slightly and his eyes became extremely gentle.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I need nothing."

Seeing that Xiao Chongyu's attitude towards him seemed no different from the past, Shen Weicang, who was a person who often took advantage of others, became a lot bolder at this time. He looked up and was stunned.

Xiao Chongyu was actually smiling at her.

Shen Weicang didn't have much contact with Xiao Chongyu, and most of the time they only saw each other from afar. She had almost never seen Xiao Chongyu smile.

Moreover, even if he laughed, shouldn’t he be smiling at Chu Mingyue?

Shen Weicang was very confused. In that dream, after Chu Mingyue died, Xiao Chongyu not only killed her but also killed everyone in Qingyang Palace in order to avenge her. He should have loved her terribly.

Why doesn't he even look at Chu Mingyue, but is smiling at me?

Shen Weicang racked his brains, but could only think of one possibility.

Perhaps the reason why he fell in love with Chu Mingyue in his dream was that they developed feelings for each other after they got married and spent every day together.

But in reality, there is no opportunity to get married, so Xiao Chongyu has not fallen in love with Chu Mingyue.

However, Xiao Chongyu never showed his emotions, so maybe he just didn't show it.

It's better to give it a try.

Shen Weicang's heart was pounding with excitement at his bold idea.

It was a rare opportunity that Xiao Chongyu and Chu Mingyue were both there. Although he was a little scared, Shen Weicang still decided to investigate the relationship between the two.

She quickly avoided Xiao Chongyu's gaze, her cheeks slightly flushed, and her voice became a little shy: "Why does Your Highness ask these questions?"

The Shen Weicang in front of him made Xiao Chongyu think that he was still in a dream. Only in a dream would she show him such a shy little girl's behavior.

He couldn't help but reach out to Shen Weicang's face. As soon as he raised his hand, he heard Chu Mingyue's voice: "If your Highness has nothing else to do, I will take my leave."

There was a flash of anger in Xiao Chongyu's eyes. He actually forgot that Chu Mingyue was standing here. He almost exposed his feelings just now.

Now he cannot expose Cang Cang in front of everyone, otherwise those people will not be able to find any evidence against him and will target and harm Cang Cang.

The fingers of his right hand, which were about to be raised, curled up and fell again.

Chu Mingyue had been observing him secretly since he appeared. The more she watched, the more disappointed she felt, and the more ridiculous she found him.

I had originally had an illusion that perhaps Xiao Chongyu had started to have such thoughts after he ascended the throne, but I didn't expect that he had really given his heart away at that time.

No wonder she couldn't warm his heart for a full ten years after their marriage, no wonder he didn't even step into the bridal chamber on their wedding day, no wonder...

Seeing Chu Mingyue looking somewhat disappointed, Shen Weicang said without waiting for Xiao Chongyu to speak: "Miss Chu, the scenery here is so beautiful, why rush back? Master Nie and Brother King Jing will chat for a long time, it will be boring to go back."

Chu Mingyue always felt that there was something else behind Shen Weicang's words, but she couldn't tell what the problem was.

She forced a smile and said, "I am worried that my mother and brother have been waiting for too long."

"Oh," Shen Weicang held her hand affectionately, "Miss Chu and I haven't talked enough, Miss Chu, please chat with me for a while. Brother Jing Wang is not here, and he has things to do. I have also finished copying the Buddhist scriptures today. I am so bored today."

Seeing Xiao Chongyu's face darken, Chu Mingyue laughed secretly in her heart. After all, she had never seen him like this before. It would be a relief to look at him a few more times.

So she responded to Shen Weicang's words with a smile, and asked casually, "The jade pendant on the princess' waist is exquisite, but it looks more like a style worn by men."

Shen Weicang smiled and said, "My brother Prince Jing gave it to me. It is said that on the day he was born, the emperor and the queen personally came to Tanming Temple to ask Master Hongguang to bless it."

Sure enough, after listening to what Shen Weicang said, Xiao Chongyu's face had become extremely ugly, but he still had to pretend to be natural.

Chu Mingyue felt refreshed. She never expected that such an arrogant Xiao Chongyu would also be hurt by love. It was really ridiculous.

When he hurt himself, didn't he ever think that he had also experienced the pain?

Thinking of this, she deliberately said: "The princess and His Royal Highness Prince Jing love each other, which is really enviable."

"Today I also saw Miss Chu and Master Nie having a very pleasant conversation," Shen Weicang had been looking at Chu Mingyue, not noticing Xiao Chongyu's mood changes, and said jokingly, "From a distance, they are a perfect match."

As she spoke, she looked up at Xiao Chongyu and asked, "Your Highness, are you familiar with Mr. Nie, the Second Master of the Protectorate General's Mansion?"

For the first time, Xiao Chongyu felt that the smile on Shen Weicang's lips was so dazzling. She did not refute Chu Mingyue's teasing, which meant that she thought so in her heart.

Love each other?

Ah.

Xiao Chongyu clenched his fists, suppressing his violent temper, but his tone was still a little stiff: "I am not very familiar with Master Nie."

"That's it."

Shen Weicang's heart sank when he saw that he really seemed jealous.

In her heart, a causal relationship has been formed between Xiao Chongyu falling in love with Chu Mingyue and Xiao Chongyu killing her.

Getting rid of Xiao Chongyu is really difficult. If Xiao Chongyu doesn't fall in love with Chu Mingyue, then all you need to do is persuade Xiao Chongling to take away his position as the crown prince.

Shen Weicang's mind became active rapidly. Inadvertently, he caught a glimpse of a snake crawling towards Chu Mingyue who was standing next to a lotus leaf.

She instantly pointed at Chu Mingyue's feet and screamed in fear: "Ah! There's a snake, help!"

Before Chu Mingyue could react, Shen Weicang seemed to want to grab her, but he stumbled and pushed her back.
