The Captivating Crown Prince

Chapter 36

The Appearance of a White-Robed Man

The sun was bright, the breeze was warm

Shang Wu Xin walked into Feng Zhou City. After a few days of giving porridge and drinks to the people, Feng Zhou City had finally settled down.

There were no longer any hungry people showing up along the streets, and the civilians had continued their previous business. Shang Wu Xi had killed the previous magistrate, Feng Zhou City’s people can finally go out to make a living.

At this time, Leng Yu Feng and Huan Mo Che were sent by Shang Wu Xin to do other things. It was not that Shang Wu Xin was unwilling to use these two people, but didn’t know what medicines had these two people recently taken. They frequently appeared in front of her. Shang Wu Xin was bothered by this.

So Shang Wu Xin took on the principle of why not take cheap advantage of these bastards to do some work, so she let the two do their jobs. Because she knew that Feng Zhou City’s problem cannot be solved just by supplying the grains. Although Shan Wu Xin didn’t really care about other people’s lives, unless she was in charge of this then it is necessary to end what one has started.

Shang Wu Xin let Huan Mo Che went to other cities to collect seeds and when he returned, she ordered the soldiers to distribute the seeds to each family. It didn’t take long for some seeds that can survive to quickly mature and be harvested.

It would take at least a few months for the seeds to mature and ready to be harvested, while the food that they brought was only enough for the people to survive for a month. Therefore, Shang Wu Xin let Leng Yu Feng take young and strong men from the city to hunt up in the mountains, and for the women in the city to embroider some embroidery products to be sold to other cities. Even though it wasn’t much, it was more than enough to last for a few months.

After these matters were divided and given to the two people to do, Shang Wu Xin was now idle. Walking in the city from time to time to hear the respectful greetings from the people. When hearing this, Shang Wu Xin felt upset, her mood to walk around the city disappeared. Using qing gong, she went to the tall mountain behind Feng Zhou City; walked around distractedly.

The trees in the mountain were vast. The mottled sun shone through the mountain, where everything was in its purest form, accompanied by pines trees.

Shang Wu Xin walked slowly and carelessly all the way up to the mountain while she watched nature’s scenery along the way. The breath from the chest seemed to be a lot smoother, fresher than before, but when Shang Wu Xin was about to reach the top of the mountain, she saw a person squatting in front of her. Shang Wu Xin stopped her footsteps.

The person squatting in front of her, heard the sound of her footsteps but didn’t look back, and didn’t even make the slightest movement to acknowledge her. Shang Wu Xin couldn’t see the person’s face clearly, she only saw that the white-robed man was bandaging an injured small animal.

Shang Wu Xin knew that this wounded animal had escaped from another mountain because in these few days, Leng Yu Feng took those civilians hunting in another mountain. This little animal was lucky, since it had escaped, and it had met a person to bandage it.

Shang Wu Xin usually did not pay attention to other people. Although, a person who appears at this place is a bit strange, she did not feel any murderous intent from this person. So Shang Wu Xin was just a little bit more vigilant when going near the mountaintop. The white robe brushed through the shallow wildflowers.

A gust of wind blew, Shang Wu Xin’s black hair swayed. At this time the squatting man smelled a very light fragrance, which smelled better than any fragrance that he smelled before, even a hundred times more than the medicine that he loved.

The man picked up the bandaged animal and stood up to look at the boy who was about to walk past him.

Long black hair hangs down casually across his thin shoulders and chest, like the ink sprinkled on the Hui Mo Mountain water painting. The young man’s eyes looked at the surrounding scenery around him, long eyelashes fluttered slightly, the tip of the eyebrows outlines a touch of evil. She only had a white dress on, but it gives off a magnificent demonic charm. Her white, and jade fingers holding a wildflower. The pale pink lips lifted in a smile with a touch of laughter. At that moment, he even thought that he was the wildflower, the man smiled.

Ye Yi Zhe looked at the young man with an unknown emotion, he knew that this boy was the prince of Shang Country. He just came to collect herbs and happened to be here and was fortunate to see the young man at the gate of the city a few days ago. At that time, he felt that the prince was very smart and interesting but didn’t expect to say the boy again in a few days. When the man started to move and stood up, Shang Wu Xin was just a few steps away from him. The man was about twenty years old, with neat eyebrows, eyes that shone like stars, nose high and straight, with dazzling looks, especially the vermilion mole that was just right above his right eye, like a beautiful artwork, giving a strong visual impact. Long ink like hair that reached down to his waist, and spread over the white robes. It swayed gently along the man’s movements giving a silent temptation or elegance to his movements. He was holding a small white snow fox in his arms. The color of the coat was so clean that there was not even a spot or blemish on it. If you didn’t look closely, it almost blended into the man’s white robe.

Even with the man’s stunning appearance, Shang Wu Xin’s footsteps did not stop. It was said many times that the more beautiful the thing, the more poisonous it was. Moreover, just because this man saved a wounded little fox did not mean she thought that he was a good man.

When Ye Yi Zhe looked at the young man, he did not know why he was trembling, but when he looked into the young man’s eyes, he only saw his own stunning appearance, he did not see any fluctuations in the young man’s eyes. Upon seeing that the young man was about to leave, Ye Yi Zhe didn’t know why he opened his mouth, perhaps it was because he finally encountered something that is more interesting than medicine and silver…No, it was a young man.

“Young master, please wait!” Ye Yi Zhe suddenly shouted out loud. Now that he finally met someone who can finally make him feel differently how can he let it go. He had a strange feeling in his heart that if he missed this moment, his life would return back to normal.

Shang Wu Xin stopped her footsteps, not because of other matters just but because of the man’s voice. It was a very beautiful voice, clear and pure. Just listening to it seemed to purify the heart and dissipate the haze.

“What is it?” Shang Wu Xin furrowed her eyebrows slightly and replied with a slightly cold tone.

Ye Yi Zhe is stumped for words, he has never been in this sort of situation in the past 20 years of his life, but when he looked at the young man in front of him his eyes flashed brightly. With an inexplicable voice he asked, “Young master’s face looks pale, white lips, it seems that young master has been poisoned. This man even though is not a doctor but has some medical skills, doesn’t know if this young master can let me take a pulse?”

At first, Ye Yi Zhe was shocked at the young man’s appearance and did not pay much attention. Later, in order to find a reason to talk to him, began to look more carefully to find that the young man’s health was not good. In fact, it was extremely bad. If it isn’t treated early, it will be detrimental to his life.

Shang Wu Xin was surprised to hear what the white- robbed man had said. She knew her own body well, even knew that this poison is very difficult to cure. Otherwise, it would not take fifteen years for her predecessor to find many doctors and medical practitioner, but still not have found a cure. This man should not know she was poisoned with only a single glance when Shang Wu Xin is not close with this man, but she could also smell a medicine smell from the man’s body like a doctor or a medicine jar (T/N: sick people who took too many medicines). Looking at the man in front of her, his body was clearly very healthy, so he was either a doctor or a very skilled medical practitioner.

“What kind of poison is in this young master’s body?” Shang Wu Xin unwillingly asked, no one likes an unknown factor in their own body, she wanted to detoxify the poison very much, but had no way to do it.

Ye Yi Zhe looked at the young man in front of him who was in some discomfort. He usually didn’t like to be in close proximity with people but he didn’t hate to be near this young man.

“This one requires to take pulse for the young master to know!” Ye Yi Zhe seriously said. Even though, he was a godly doctor, he also couldn’t randomly be diagnose someone. He really wanted to know more about this young man, but for this young man’s sake, he still needed to take the pulse to give the diagnosis.

It used to be him who chose whether to help or ignore other people who beg him to heal them, but why is it very difficult when it was he who wanted to save people now.

Shang Wu Xin heart jumped for a moment before her rationality took over. Her body was that of a woman, and the man in front of her was obviously good at medical skills as long as he could take her pulse; he wouldn’t know she was a woman. If that time comes, she would have to kill him to shut his mouth. More importantly, the antidote had not been obtained, so she would certainly not do such laborious thing.

“No need, this young master still matters and will take his leave first.” Shang Wu Xin nodded and was ready to leave. It seemed that she must found a way to cover up her gender. Otherwise, detoxification would be difficult.

Ye Yi Zhe did not think that this young man would change his face so fast and leave when he said to leave. The young man obviously knew his physical condition but didn’t care at all, was not afraid of death or pain. Ye Yi Zhe calm heart suddenly emerged an unknown anger at this capricious young man.

“Crown Prince, please stay!” Ye Yi Zhe suddenly shouted.

Shang Wu Xin brows sprung up in hostility. She did not think that this person actually knew that she was a prince. So what were his intentions in getting close to him just now? More importantly, he knew that her body was poisoned. Shang Wu Xin hit the man without any warning, not showing a shred of mercy in her strikes.

Although Ye Yi Zhe looked like a fairy his skill was not bad when Shang Wu Xin attack came, he quickly reacted and dodged while holding the fox in his arms. It looked very simple, but it wasn’t easy if his qing gong did not reach a certain level as it was simply impossible to escape.

But Shang Wu Xin did not give up, her eyes flashed red in excitement, her right hand clawed near Ye Yi Zhe’s heart, her force was not light at all.

Ye Yi Zhe saw that the young man definitely wanted his life, even if he was indifferent before in his heart an anger inborn. This was his first good intention to save a person but not only was this young man not grateful, but he even wanted to kill him.

Ye Yi Zhe held the fox in one hand, the other hand met the boy’s palm. Two palms met for a moment but they were evenly matched.

Shang Wu Xin took back her hand, mind still thinking of how to kill this man. Not only was his medical skills good, but even his martial arts were also surprisingly good too. If this man tried his best, she was afraid there would not be any good outcome from this.

Ye Yi Zhe looked up at the young man opposite him, his murderous intent had not dissipated at all, he knew that the young man still wanted to kill him.
