How Wild A Person's Imagination Can Run

Shen Mingjiao's legs were weak after being on the verge of death. She managed to stand up straight with Haitang's assistance.

She looked down at Feng Lisheng and saw him staring straight at her. His eyes were empty.

Shen Mingjiao patted his shoulder. "Hey! Get up."

Feng Lisheng suddenly came back to his senses and stood up. He pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly. His voice trembled as he said, "I'm sorry for being useless…"

Shen Mingjiao patted his shoulder comfortingly. "It's alright, it's all in the past. You already did great, its the enemies who are too cunning…"

"… I've put you in such a situation again…" I almost lost you again.

Shen Mingjiao's hand paused and she looked down thoughtfully.

When Xu Daniu and the others heard this, they looked at Shen Mingjiao with complicated and respectful gazes.

"I never thought that the Princess Consort would be so affectionate to His Highness!"

"Yeah. The Princess Consort is a weak woman but for His Highness, she's not even afraid of death! We can see that the Princess Consort loves His Highness to the core!"

"So, Your Highness, you must not let down such a good Princess Consort…"

Shen Mingjiao stared at them. Uh, no. I'm not.

But no matter how she explained, this group of people had expressions that said, "We understand… the Princess Consort is shy…"

Shen Mingjiao was speechless for a moment. She could not help but look at Feng Lisheng, hoping that he would explain something to them.

However, Feng Lisheng walked away for some reason.

Feng Wu, who was pursuing the assassin, returned. "Your Highness, I'm useless. I didn't find the person who shot the arrow."

Feng Lisheng pondered for a moment and asked the guard who was checking the assassin's corpse, "Did you find anything?"

"Apart from a token, there's nothing else on the deceased."

The guard who spoke handed over the token.

Feng Lisheng took it and looked at it. It was an ordinary black token with a serial number engraved on the back.

Feng Wu glanced at it. "This is the Shadow Pavilion's token."

The Shadow Pavilion was a famous assassin organization in the martial world. However, the world is peaceful now. Under the efforts of the people in the royal court, the Imperial Court and the martial world were in a rare delicate balance.

Although the Shadow Pavilion was an assassin organization, they never killed members of the royal family or important officials of the imperial court.

Feng Wu analyzed, "But the clues are so obvious. It's very likely that they were framed."

However, Feng Lisheng said, "No, it's a decoy tactic. This is what most people think."

Feng Wu was a little surprised. "Your Highness, do you mean that the person behind this is right under our noses?"

"Send someone to investigate the Shadow Pavilion first."

At this moment, the people from the Five City Military Department arrived. Feng Lisheng handed the corpse on the ground to them and they sent it to Dali monastery. It would only be easier to find the mastermind if the matter blew up.

Shen Mingjiao tied her hair up again and was about to take the phoenix crown from Haitang.

A slender hand snatched the phoenix crown and gently put it on her.

At this moment, the two of them were extremely close. When Shen Mingjiao looked up, she could see his distinct edges and corners.

This was the first time she had seen Feng Lisheng in red. She had to admit that good-looking people looked good no matter what they wore.

If Feng Lisheng, who was dressed in black previously, gave off a cold and abstinent feeling, then he, who was dressed in red, was like a cold beauty.

Shen Mingjiao stared at his sexy Adam's apple. She couldn't take her eyes off him.

Tsk! I really want to touch it. What should I do?

Feng Lisheng's clear voice came from above. "Done."

"What are you looking at?"

Shen Mingjiao looked away with difficulty and rubbed her nose. "Ahem… nothing. It's getting late. Let's go!"

After saying that, she did not look at him anymore and covered her head with a veil. With Haitang supporting her, she strode into the bridal carriage.

As Feng Lisheng watched her fleeing away, he asked Feng Wu in confusion, "What's wrong with her?"

Feng Wu's lips twitched. "… Obviously, the Princess Consort is embarrassed."

Feng Lisheng was even more puzzled. "Why? This isn't the first time she has met me?"

Feng Wu was speechless. As expected, the heavens is fair. They gave His Highness shocking talent in martial arts and military tactics, but they also took away some things.

Hence, he explained bluntly, "It is because the Princess Consort admires you. That's why she's embarrassed when she looks at you."

Feng Lisheng was stunned. Shen Mingjiao admired her!

Just thinking about it made him overjoyed.

Afraid that His Highness still did not understand, Feng Wu, who had rich theoretical knowledge, continued, "You can tell whether a girl likes you or not by looking at her eyes. Your Highness, think about it carefully. Whenever the Princess Consort sees you, her eyes light up!"

Feng Lisheng thought about it. Seems like so!

At the previous palace banquet, which was also the first time they met in this life, Shen Mingjiao stared at him for a long time with shining eyes.

Also, she even took the initiative to look for him and kiss him…

Thinking of this, he raised his hand to touch the place where Shen Mingjiao had kissed him. The tips of his ears inexplicably burned.

He ignored Shen Mingjiao's interest in the wealth of the estate subconsciously.

Anyway, there were so many rich men in the world. Why was Shen Mingjiao only interested in his money…

…

The team set off again. Fortunately, they did not encounter anything else and successfully arrived at the Prince's Mansion.

With the crackling of firecrackers, the two of them stepped over the brazier while holding red silk and they walked through the long and complicated ritual.

Since it was the great wedding of the Prince, the Empress was also here for it. After the two of them paid their respects to the previous emperors, they finally prayed to the ancestral tablet of the Prince's mother, Consort Li.

Unexpectedly, the Prince quickly pulled Shen Mingjiao away and skipped this process.

The originally lively wedding hall fell silent for a moment.

The Empress smiled and praised the bride's beautiful wedding dress. An observant lady quickly chimed in, and the scene became lively again.

Shen Mingjiao tugged at the red chip in her hand quietly. She knew that Feng Lisheng's mother was not dead, so Feng Lisheng could not use this method to pay his respects. It was not like what the rumors said.

Finally, Shen Mingjiao finished all the procedures and entered the bridal room. She was so tired that she sat on the wedding bed and lifted the veil. Then, she said weakly, "Haitang, get me a glass of water."

As soon as she finished speaking, two delicate-looking maidservants stepped forward. One of them picked up the teapot and poured her a cup of water, while the other came over to massage her shoulders.

Shen Mingjiao took the cup and took a sip of water. She looked at the two of them and asked, "What are your names?"

The two maidservants were a little nervous and bowed cautiously. "Your Highness… I'm Erya." "I'm Qiu Ju."

Shen Mingjiao nodded. Eunuch Hua probably hired them at the last minute. She did not plan to change their names and she gestured for Haitang to reward each of them with a pouch.

"Be a good servant in the future and start as a second-class maid. As long as you don't betray your master, you will be rewarded."

The two maidservants heaved a sigh of relief and agreed in unison.

Shen Mingjiao ordered the two of them, "Go get me something to eat."

Soon, a large table of noodles was sent over from the kitchen. Shen Mingjiao changed into light casual clothes, took off her heavy phoenix crown, and sat down to eat in a relaxed manner.

Haitang looked at her hesitantly.

"Miss, this isn't good! This is the Prince's Mansion. His Highness hasn't even come yet."

Shen Mingjiao waved her hand. "It's okay. He won't care about this."

Seeing that the girl was still in a dilemma, Shen Mingjiao simply said, "Remember, the Palace will be our home from now on. As long as we don't do anything to harm the Palace, we can live as we please. We will definitely live more freely than when we were in the Duke Mansion."

"Alright, you've been tired all day. I don't need any help here. You can all go down and rest!"

Feng Lisheng, who was walking to the door, happened to hear this and his heart warmed.

He thought to himself. Feng Wu was right.
