Chapter 143 "Then I will punish you...Apologize to all the guards in the guard camp!"
"Don't worry, Changle. I'll just keep an eye on him for two days. If I still can't catch him after arriving in the capital, I'll let him go."
Shen Changle couldn't persuade Jiang Ci'an, so he could only repeatedly remind him:
"Remember, be careful."
Jiang Ci'an nodded in agreement and moved to live in the tree that night.
Shen Changle tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
From time to time, I would ask Baizhi if there was any movement outside...
Unfortunately, Lu Mingchao had already noticed that someone was watching him in secret.
He also found out that Jiang Ci'an was not in the carriage, and soon realized that the person staring at him was Jiang Ci'an!
He didn't dare to act rashly again, and even rejected Qi Qiongyu's invitation!
But the night is long...
He could bear it for a while or two.
Who can stand this for a day or two?
Thinking of the soft and sticky feeling when chatting with my cousin at night...
He was so greedy that his mouth was watering and so anxious that he couldn't sit still.
But the person who was monitoring him was Jiang Ci'an!
With the emperor and the princess as his backers, he can't touch him easily!
Even if he could move, he might not be able to defeat him...
and many more!
Suddenly thinking of something, Lu Mingchao narrowed his eyes.
If he can’t touch Jiang Ci’an, can’t he touch that brat?
After much thought, he focused his attention on Zhu Jiuxing...
Shen Changle was just beginning to feel drowsy when he heard an argument outside the car.
She rubbed her aching forehead, sat up from the couch, and asked Bai Zhi, who was on guard at night:
"What's going on outside?"
Baizhi watched for a moment, then leaned over to report.
"Your Highness, it seems there's been a dispute at the guard camp."
"Guard tent?"
Isn’t that Lu Mingchao’s jurisdiction?
"Where's Lu Mingchao?"
"Your Highness, I haven't seen General Lu."
This person is not on duty in the middle of the night. Could he be dead?
"Tell Xuanque to warn them to keep their voices down. If they disturb the emperor's uncle's recovery, I will not let them off lightly!"
"Yes!"
Baizhi obeyed the order and just about to leave, he turned back.
"Your Highness, it seems... the Prince Consort is also there."
"Farewell?"
When Shen Changle heard that Jiang Ci'an was there, he hurriedly tidied up his appearance and got out of bed.
He put on a thick cloak and a big hood.
She got off the car, revealing only her fair little face, which was only the size of a palm.
Even so, the biting cold wind still made her shiver.
I couldn't help but take a few quick steps towards the tent in the distance.
Before he could reach the light, Lu Mingchao, who was well prepared, came to meet him.
Confess guilt wisely:
"Disturbing His Highness's sleep is a crime worthy of death... However, Master Jiang was furious, and the brothers did not dare to stop him."
Young Master Jiang is angry?
The villain was the first to complain and put all the blame on Ci'an!
If he had not been prejudiced and spoken ill of Ci'an to his brother at Wohu Mountain that day, how could his brother have been wary of him for so long?
Thinking of this, she glared at him fiercely, giving him a silent warning.
He strode into the tent, leaving him behind.
In the stinking tent, everyone was still arguing loudly, and no one noticed her standing at the tent door.
"male……"
Bai Zhi behind her was about to shout a message, but she raised her hand to stop him.
She wants to hear the cause and effect of the matter first:
"...It's simply his fault. He sleeps like a nobody, farts, grinds his teeth, snores, and he's not allowed to say anything?"
"That's right. He's so strong and Cai Cai is so thin. How could a few hits on him hurt? He actually hit Cai Cai so hard in return! This is a complete loss of humanity!"
"He's a bandit! What kind of humanity do you expect from a bandit?"
"Ah... Yeah, I really don't understand why the higher-ups would bring a bandit with them? It's lowering the level of our protection..."
"You don't know this, right? Because that prince consort is..."
After hearing this, Shen Changle roughly understood the whole story.
Seeing that they were about to frame Jiang Ci'an, she glanced at Bai Zhi indifferently.
Baizhi understood, took a step forward, and shouted angrily:
"How dare you! You talk about the princess and her husband so carelessly. How many heads do you have left for me to chop off?"
The whole place was silent.
Silence fell.
Then all the guards present turned around and knelt down to kowtow.
"Long live the princess, long live the princess, long live the princess—"
Hearing the voice, Jiang Ci'an, who was standing behind the people with a frown and a face as dark as ink, also looked over.
When he saw Lu Mingchao standing behind her with a faint smile on his face, he ignored Zhu Jiuxing and strode to her side.
He deliberately held her affectionately and asked softly:
"It's so cold, why are you out?"
Shen Changle raised his head.
The large hood covered most of her face, leaving only a small jaw visible.
Seeing her so cute, Jiang Ci'an's bad mood disappeared.
He chuckled and adjusted her hood.
Then, a pair of concerned eyes finally appeared under the snow-white cloak.
"Are you injured?"
"Am I that weak?"
He asked back with a faint smile, his hands still helping her adjust her hood.
Lu Mingchao behind him felt disgusted.
He glared viciously at Zhu Jiuxing who was still standing behind him.
Zhu Jiuxing was not intimidated either, and raised his chin towards him provocatively.
This made him even more resentful and hateful.
But he did not get angry, instead he smiled sinisterly.
Bowing to him in a pretentious manner to apologize:
"What happened today was due to the ignorance of the brothers in the Guard Battalion. As their commander, I would like to apologize to you on their behalf."
This move made the honest Zhu Jiuxing stunned.
Shen Changle saw his intention——
He was just pretending to be a good guy in the army and dragged himself into the guard camp with just one sentence;
But it pushed Ci'an and Jiuxing to the opposite side of all the guards.
She sneered and took a step forward with her shoulders raised.
"General Lu should apologize, but this is not your fault."
As soon as she spoke in a soft and delicate voice...
The guards in the guard camp who were kneeling on the ground all shuddered and got goose bumps all over their bodies.
It sounds so nice...
The princess has such a beautiful voice!
They all knelt more respectfully, wanting to hear how she would handle the matter and whether she would be biased.
Shen Changle took off his hood and looked down at Lu Mingchao who was bowing.
"As the chief escort for this trip, you neglected your duties and did not step forward to resolve the dispute immediately.
This caused the conflict to escalate, the argument to turn into a brawl, and even affected my rest. This was a mistake."
She paused for a moment, admiring his gradually cooling expression.
He chuckled and continued:
"There was a dispute among the guards, and you couldn't treat them all equally.
Bowing to the powerful and wealthy, triggering public opinion, and failing to convince the public, this is the second mistake!
Lu Mingchao, do you recognize it?"
She pressed the question softly, but her momentum remained undiminished.
Lu Mingchao had nothing to say and had to kneel down to accept the punishment:
"Your Highness the Princess has taught me a lesson. I accept the punishment."
"Just accept the punishment. Then I will punish you...by making you apologize to all the guards in the guard camp!"
