She is a heartthrob who wants to live a good life

Chapter 82: The Scheming Princess 39

In the midsummer, Chu Mingyue was leisurely lying next to the ice basin in the house, eating melon seeds.

It is now June. She remembers that it was this month in her previous life that floods occurred in many places in the south, and there was even an earthquake. More and more victims fled to the north to escape the disaster.

The emperor sent Xiao Chongyu to provide disaster relief, but wherever Xiao Chongyu went, the disaster would become more serious.

Even as soon as he arrived in Zhenzhou, an epidemic broke out there.

The officials who traveled with Xiao Chongyu reported back to the capital that the prince had been infected with an epidemic and was in critical condition.

Chu Mingyue was terrified and wanted to go to Zhenzhou to accompany Xiao Chongyu countless times. However, Wei Yun, who stayed in the East Palace, stopped her and said that he would go and cure Xiao Chongyu himself.

Although the prince's disaster relief efforts were ineffective, he was now seriously ill and on the verge of death, and the emperor's attitude was very strange.

Not only did he fail to show any kindness as a father, but he also scolded Xiao Chongyu for being incapable of being the crown prince.

So when Xiao Chongyu was at his most vulnerable, a group of people in the court who supported King Jing were ready to make a move, and kept bringing up the issue of changing the crown prince, both openly and covertly.

They said that strange phenomena had occurred frequently this year, and had become worse after the prince's personal visit. This might not be a good sign, but perhaps a hint from heaven.

Later, King Jing went to the southwest.

At that time, Chu Mingyue was secretly glad that King Jing was kind-hearted and sincere to Xiao Chongyu and did not add insult to injury.

But now she really hopes that King Jing can compete with Xiao Chongyu for the position of crown prince.

There are so many differences between this life and the previous one.

King Jing was not seriously injured in the autumn hunt, nor did he wait until Xiao Chongyu was critically ill to join the army. Instead, he left the capital in the second month after his marriage.

Could it be that King Jing has already noticed Xiao Chongyu's coveting of Shen Weicang?

If so, isn't he afraid that if he leaves Shen Weicang alone in the capital, Xiao Chongyu will take advantage of him?

And her husband Nie Feiyun, who followed Xiao Chongling secretly to the southwest without waiting to leave any offspring with her, and by the time General Nie noticed, he was already too late to catch up.

Chu Mingyue knew that Nie Feiyun still couldn't let go of Shen Weicang, but she believed that he would get over it over time.

After all, with so many people surrounding Shen Weicang, what does Nie Feiyun count for?

When he finds that he can't get even a glance from his sweetheart, he will naturally give up, just like she did to Xiao Chongyu.

***************

"Cang Cang, I will be leaving Beijing next month. I will leave Lu Ning and Wei Yun to you. If anything happens, be sure to ask them to send a message to me."

Xiao Chongyu hugged his beloved reluctantly: "Even if I am thousands of miles away, I will help Cang Cang solve all his troubles."

If Shen Weicang still felt a little bit of novelty towards Xiao Chongyu before getting married, it had almost disappeared after marrying Xiao Chongling.

After all, what attracted her most about Xiao Chongyu was his beautiful body, but Xiao Chongling also had these qualities.

And she can touch wherever she wants.

Unlike Xiao Chongyu, if his legs were touched even slightly, he would refuse to let her touch him.

So Shen Weicang really ignored Xiao Chongyu for a while. If he hadn't taken into account that he might eventually defeat Xiao Chongling and ascend the throne, Shen Weicang simply didn't want to even see him.

It was not until Xiao Chongling left Beijing and there was no fun around her that she smiled at Xiao Chongyu again.

For more than a month, Xiao Chongyu spent his time in anxiety and fear. Later, when the emperor regained favor, he clung to her like a dog-skin plaster.

Especially since Xiao Chongling was not in the capital, he was free and easy by nature. Although he was a little wary of himself, it was not difficult for Xiao Chongyu to avoid the eyes of Prince Jing's Mansion and sneak to Cangling Courtyard.

After a while, Cang Cang said that it was too tiring for him to run back and forth, so he rented this house outside. If she wanted to see him, she would naturally come here.

Xiao Chongyu was extremely moved that Cang Cang actually felt sorry for him.

Coincidentally, this house is very close to Feng Sheng's residence, and Xiao Chongyu would often come here to talk with Feng Sheng.

After listening to Xiao Chongyu's words, Shen Weicang thought for a while.

Although Wei Yun is very useful, if I leave these two people in the capital, there is no guarantee that they will not follow me all the time.

It would be bad if they gossiped and told Xiao Chongyu about my meeting with Feng Sheng.

"Chong Yu, the divine doctor Wei is a skilled doctor, and guard Lu is a skilled martial artist. If you leave them to me, what will you do?"

Shen Weicang hugged his waist and leaned on his shoulder, and advised him softly:

"Besides, it is easy for an epidemic to occur after a flood. Chongyu, you will need the divine doctor even more when you go there. Guard Lu is also someone who works well with you. It would be a waste of his talent to leave him to me."

Xiao Chongyu frowned: "But I can't let you go alone in the capital."

There is also Shen Ruowu who is eyeing him covetously, although in Cangcang's heart he is just a biological brother and she does not have any feelings for him beyond family affection.

But there is no guarantee that this dishonest guy will not touch Cang Cang in the name of his brother.

Xiao Chongyu was worried that his sweetheart was being bullied without knowing it, and he was very worried.

"Chongyu, I am so touched that you care about me like this."

Shen Weicang buried his face in his chest to hide his impatient expression.

"But I already have secret guards arranged by Chongyu around me, and the palace also has imperial doctors sent from the palace. Chongyu still needs them the most."

Xiao Chongyu reached out and gently stroked her back: "I don't lack people around me..."

Shen Weicang couldn't stand it anymore. He refused to listen to her nice words and insisted that she use some tricks.

She suddenly pushed away the person who hadn't finished speaking and sneered, "Chongyu insisted on keeping them by my side. Do you want to monitor me?"

Shen Weicang had an extraordinary appearance to begin with, and at this moment her face turned cold, like an unattainable goddess, which immediately made Xiao Chongyu feel panic that he could not touch her no matter what.

He wanted to raise his hand to touch her, but was frightened by her cold expression and dared not to reach out. He said at a loss:

"Why would Cang Cang think so? Why would I spy on Cang Cang? I really keep them by your side to protect you. They are the people I trust the most. If anything happens, they would rather die than protect you."

"Ah."

Shen Weicang's expression suddenly changed again. A hint of sadness appeared on his expressionless face, as if he was mocking himself, or mocking Xiao Chongyu:

"I know that you have changed towards me since I got married."

As she spoke, she even started to cry, and her peach blossom eyes were filled with tears:

"You wanted to be with me all the time before, but you have been so distant to me for more than a month. Is it because you saw that I got married to Xiao Chongling that you think I am not worthy of you?"

Being blamed for something he had done before, Xiao Chongyu not only did not feel aggrieved, but was ecstatic instead.

He knew that Cang Cang loved him. After they got married, she even called Xiao Chongling by his name.

Seeing that she was sad for him, Xiao Chongyu's joy was quickly replaced by heartache, and he hurriedly hugged her and explained:

"Cang Cang, how could I be so distant from you? I love you, so how could I change my mind just because you got married?"

Shen Weicang couldn't listen:

"But you insisted on keeping someone to monitor me. Now that Xiao Chongling is not in the capital, what are you still worried about? Besides, I still have the Yulin Guards, so how could I be in danger? Could it be that you tricked me with the Yulin Guards?"

Her face was filled with sorrow:

"Men are like this. When they are in love, they make promises and say sweet words, but they get tired of it after a while. It's just that you didn't get me, so you are a little unwilling."

Xiao Chongyu saw that her misunderstanding of him was getting deeper and deeper, and suddenly he didn't know what to do:

"Don't cry, Cang Cang. Your crying makes my heart break. I will listen to Cang Cang. Whatever Cang Cang says is what I will do."
