Chapter 128: Shameless
Hua Leshi had not expected Jiang Yanxu to be so arrogant. She was just being polite to him for the sake of her master, but she did not expect him to be so picky. Did he really think she was afraid of him?
Thinking of the humiliation she had just suffered, Hua Leshi could not help but clench her fists, ready to continue the showdown with Jiang Yanxu. Wen Zhiqing saw Hua Leshi like this, and hurriedly pulled Jiang Yanxu to look at her and apologize.
"Miss Leshi, you misunderstood. He didn't mean to blame her. He probably drank too much and that's why he spoke so recklessly. I'll take him back and help him sober up!"
Seeing Jiang Yanxu reeking of alcohol, Hua Shu knew that what Wen Zhiqing said was true. He immediately looked at Wen Zhiqing and said, "Since that's the case, Master Wen should take Master Xu back to rest!"
Wen Zhiqing nodded in agreement, and then helped Jiang Yanxu leave. Fuzhi and the other girl were no longer in the mood to talk, so they smiled at each other and then went back to their rooms to rest.
Although Hua Leshi was somewhat reluctant, she knew that if she held on to it, it would only put her master in a difficult position. So she put the matter aside. As long as he didn't provoke her in the future, she would naturally be magnanimous and spare his life.
The night was hazy, and except for the occasional rustling of leaves blown down by the wind, it soon returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
In this silent night, even though the group was already stumbling, they had no intention of stopping. Seeing that they were blocked by towering mountains in front of them, they finally stopped.
Nangong Junze looked at the mountains in the distance and immediately turned to his followers and said, "Pack up, set up camp here, and rest for a while. We will set off again at dawn tomorrow."
"Yes, Your Highness!" the attendant said respectfully.
"Outside, just call me Young Master. We're going ahead this time, so it's best not to make it public. If people knew I wasn't with the team, it would only cause more trouble!"
"Yes, sir!"
Nangong Junze glanced at him, then found a place to sit down. The attendant next to him was about to take out a cushion from his body and spread it on the stone, but was stopped by Nangong Junze:
"Now that we're out, let's keep things simple and put away the palace tricks as soon as possible. The people of Dongli Kingdom are not stupid, so it's better to keep a low profile!"
"Yes, sir, you must be hungry after traveling for such a long time. I will check if there is anything to eat ahead. You can rest here for a while."
"Go!" Nangong Junze nodded slightly, and then looked aside. At this time, he was already in the territory of Dongli Kingdom. Looking at the unfamiliar environment in front of him, Nangong Junze couldn't help feeling a little melancholy.
Thinking of the purpose of his trip, Nangong Junze's eyes were full of determination. If it weren't for his mother's desperate protection, he would probably not exist in this world now, and how could he become the Crown Prince of Nanmo Kingdom?
The emperor only has the queen mother in his eyes. Even though he has been frequently criticized by the ministers since he ascended the throne, his original intention has not changed at all. I was just raised by the queen mother since I was a child, so the emperor entrusted me with such an important task. I am extremely grateful to the queen mother for raising me. It can be said that without the queen mother, he would not be where he is today.
Although the Queen Mother was in danger, she still resolutely sent most of the guards to protect herself, which resulted in her being isolated and helpless during childbirth, and even died of dystocia. He remembered all of this silently in his heart.
The past was vivid in his mind, as if engraved in his bones. The moment he knew his mother had died, he seemed to be back in that dark cage. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not break free from the shackles and break through the cage.
When he learned that the child his mother had given birth to was still alive, he seemed to see hope again, just like when his mother had rescued him, and his heart was filled with strength.
Over the years, he and his father have been secretly searching for his sister's whereabouts in Nanmo Country, but they have no clue. They never thought about whether they were looking in the wrong direction. If they had not found some clues, they would still be like headless flies, bumping into walls everywhere!
That's why he came to Dongli Country to find out what was going on. If he gained something from this trip, he could give himself an explanation.
Having witnessed the cruelty of this world, he cherishes the warmth he once received even more. It was his mother who made him realize that this world is not just about bullying and punishment, but there are many beautiful things waiting for him. So no matter what the cost, he will definitely find his sister back to comfort his mother's spirit in heaven.
Thinking of the difficulty of this journey, Nangong Junze frowned. If he had not been well prepared this time, he would have had to take many detours. Looking at the hazy night and the long night, Nangong Junze felt very helpless and bored. After a short rest, Nangong Junze got up and continued to move forward, striving to reach Kyoto as soon as possible, so that he could calm down.
After Nangong Junze traveled day and night, he finally arrived in Kyoto before Emperor Shunqing sent someone to welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
At this time, Emperor Shunqing sent people to welcome Nangong Junze's envoys, not knowing that the real Nangong Junze had already arrived in Kyoto and stayed in the most prosperous restaurant in Kyoto, and soon became friends with Xiao Jinhui.
Seeing Xiao Jinhui's worried look, Nangong Junze couldn't help but lower his eyes, a smile flashed in his eyes, and then he looked at him and said:
"Brother Xiao, what troubles did you encounter today? Why do you look so listless? If there is anything I can help you with, please feel free to ask. I will do my best to help you through this difficult time!"
Seeing Nangong Junze being so loyal, Xiao Jinhui couldn't help but feel very happy. You know, Xiao Jinhui was very satisfied with Nangong Junze, his new friend. Although he had only known him for a short time, he had helped him a lot.
If he hadn't helped me with advice this time, allowing me to stand out among my brothers and gain the praise of my father, I'm afraid I would be controlled by my mother now and have no freedom at all!
When he thought about how he was a prince, and how everything he did had to be approved by his mother, he felt ashamed. He had no rights at all. If he did something wrong, he would be scolded by his mother.
