Chapter 705: Unruly and Willful
Chu Junlan looked at the sincere face of King Qin, and his sympathy for Wang Shitong became even more.
This man seemed gentle and considerate, and was devoted to Wang Shitong, but in fact he didn't take Wang Shitong to heart at all. Even if Wang Shitong was chasing her, the King of Qin had no feelings for her, and he would not have been hanging on her. Before leaving, he made such a move, which made people always worry.
After all, this is a selfish and cold-blooded person.
But no matter what the Qin King is fundamentally in nature, their business cooperation has always been pleasant, and their relationship has not reached the level of close friendship. Chu Junlan doesn't have much to say about his personal feelings.
"Since King Qin said this, if Miss Wang has something to do, I will definitely help." Chu Junlan said with a smile.
The surprise and gratitude on the face of the King of Qin would not be concealed, and he bowed and said, "You have real skills. With your words, I can feel at ease."
Turning back to look at Wang Shitong, he said in a gentle voice: "Okay, don't cry. Don't worry, the eldest prince's concubine promises a thousand gold, and she will protect you well. You don't have to worry about being isolated and helpless when the sixth prince comes to pester you."
Wang Shitong shook her head repeatedly and shook her tears: "I don't need you to arrange this or that to protect me. If possible, I just want to follow you. I don't know how long it will take to come back. Do I have to wait for you? I have been waiting for you for so many years, how long do you want me to wait?"
Wang Shitong lowered her head, covered her face and cried in tears.
Upon hearing this, the King of Qin looked at Wang Shitong silently, letting her sobb, and said for a long time: "Forget it, it turns out that I have been tying you, so don't wait for me. If there is a suitable candidate, just marry me."
"You, do you insist on saying such words to block my heart?"
Wang Shitong grabbed her clothes and looked at King Qin in disbelief, "Did I wait for you for so many years to get the sentence that I found a suitable person to marry? If I wanted to marry, I would have married in my best years, why did I wait to become an old girl? How many women of the same age as me are all the mothers of three children? You, you are so cruel..."
Wang Shitong covered her face and turned around and kept sobbing.
The King of Qin looked like he didn't know what to do. He sighed helplessly at Wang Shitong's back and spread his hands towards Chu Junlan.
Looking at his appearance, Chu Junlan felt a little more disliked about the King of Qin. It didn't count the delay of a woman's youth, but now he still showed a helpless expression. He is a living person, if he doesn't plan to marry someone, wouldn't he say it clearly? I think Wang Shitong is pestering him and will not be able to stick to someone who speaks harshly to him.
It was obvious that the King of Qin had refused to agree and had always given Wang Shitong hope, just hanging her. Although he looked helpless at this moment, he might be proud in his heart, right?
It seems that the King of Qin, who is on the surface, has really made her unable to agree with the behavior of men and women.
Chu Junlan only politely outlined the corners of his lower lip and did not express his thoughts.
Wang Shitong cried for a while and found that the King of Qin had no reaction at all. Then she realized that his behavior might arouse the other party's disgust. She hurriedly held back her tears and asked aggrievedly: "When will you come back to the capital?"
The King of Qin smiled bitterly: "I went to the vassal state, not to go out for fun. If I return to the capital, except for any important matters, I will only summon my father. Otherwise, if the vassal state leaves the fiefdom without authorization, what will happen?"
Wang Shitong gritted her teeth and stamped her feet, and said angrily: "If it weren't for Xiao Lu, you wouldn't have been forced to leave, and we wouldn't have been forced to separate. If you leave like this, if the emperor is not summoned, wouldn't you not be able to come back for three or five years? When you come back, I will be in my forty years..."
Wang Shitong's tears broke through again and she choked and said, "Did you give up on me long ago..."
Chu Junlan lowered his eyes and hid the thoughts in his eyes, shook his head secretly: The King of Qin was too obvious to Wang Shitong. Isn’t this obviously giving up on her?
Without wanting to see these two people entangled, Chu Junlan simply nodded to the King of Qin and said goodbye, turning around and leaving.
At the carriage, Huo Yeqing and other guards were nervously tense, staring at Chu Junlan's direction, afraid that she would be in danger. They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw her return safely.
Chu Junlan said: "Send me to a place first and then go back to the palace later."
"Yes." Huo Yeqing and the others should have it immediately.
The carriage slowly left, and Chu Junlan remembered what he had seen and heard just now, and was still moved. Even though Wang Shitong was arrogant, the unclear attitude of the King of Qin was indeed one of the reasons why Wang Shitong refused to give up.
However, thinking about Wang Shitong's behavior in front of the Sixth Prince, Chu Junlan was a little aware of it.
Wang Shitong's approach to the Sixth Prince was just like the Qin King hanging her. They all had the intention of playing with people in their relationship and each had their own difficulties.
Chu Junlan was thinking, and suddenly heard a sound of horse hooves kicking from afar behind him. Huo Yeqing outside the carriage immediately reported: "The eldest prince's concubine, a carriage behind him is catching up. It seems that it should be the Miss Wang just now."
Chu Junlan raised his eyebrows, and his mind had been turning several times: "Stop the car and see what Miss Wang wants to do."
"Yes." Huo Yeqing responded and immediately said loudly: "Stop!"
The carriage slowly stopped by the road surrounded by guards. Sure enough, as soon as their carriage stopped, the speed of the carriage that was chasing behind him slowly slowed down.
Chu Junlan lifted the curtain of the car, and a cold wind mixed with tiny snowflakes came to his face.
It was snowing in this moment.
Stepping off the black painted wooden stool used for foot pads, Chu Junlan took care of the fox fur, hugged a delicate brass hand warmer and waited in place with a smile on his face.
At this time, a figure wearing a stone-blue cloak jumped off from the carriage behind, and Feng Fenghuohuo rushed towards him.
"I called you a lot, why didn't you wait for me?" Wang Shitong looked impatient.
Chu Junlan raised his eyebrows and smiled: "It seems that His Highness King Qin has gone far away, otherwise Miss Wang would not have changed her face."
"You..." Wang Shitong was choked by Chu Junlan's words, and then said, "I caught up with her to tell you that I don't need you to worry about my business. How can I need your protection? You'd better stop meddling in other people's business and just sit firmly on your position as the eldest prince's concubine."
"Oh?" Chu Junlan was interesting to hear, "You mean, you don't need someone to protect you? Then, the Sixth Prince is entangled with you or you are in danger, and you are all used to deceive His Highness Qin?"
"How is that possible!" Wang Shitong suddenly became anxious, her voice raised a little, "I won't lie to him!"
Chu Junlan nodded in understanding: "Then you have the ability to protect yourself. To be honest, I really don't like to wade into muddy waters. If it weren't for the fact that I had a good relationship with the King of Qin, I wouldn't agree to protect you. But if I don't care about you, what should I do if you were taken away by the Sixth Prince on one day?"
A murderous intent suddenly burst out in Wang Shitong's eyes, and she gritted her silver teeth and said, "If he took me, it would be better."
It is precisely because of her relationship that the Sixth Prince's patience with the King of Qin has become less and less. As soon as the Sixth Prince has the chance to ascend to a high position, he immediately began to use the King of Qin as a lie to establish his authority.
She had been waiting for so many years and finally hoped that the King of Qin's attitude towards her would change slightly, but it was ruined because of the Sixth Prince's private decision and all his entanglement. Now she wished she could swallow the Sixth Prince alive to relieve her hatred.
But she would not show this kind of mood in front of an outsider.
Wang Shitong glared at her eyes and said coldly: "Are you a great princess, you have already been stable? What is your identity and why did you become a princess? Are you not sure at all? You still have the leisure time to wander around all day long, and you still have some magical spoils... Don't you know that the most taboo thing the emperor is to be such a troublesome woman? Don't you think you are so obsessed with it now, you will have more hard days in the future!"
The smile on Chu Junlan's face gradually faded. Wang Shitong's tone was really unhappy. She was willing to promise the King of Qin to help take care of Wang Shitong. That was also for the sake of business partners. Why did Wang Shitong come to him to be domineering?
"Miss Wang." Chu Junlan still had a smile on his face, but his smile was not in his eyes.
"I promised His Highness the King of Qin to help take care of it. It's really because of our friendship. Does Miss Wang think I have to pay attention to you?"
"What kind of friendship? How could Your Highness King Qin have a friendship with you?" Wang Shitong remembered the attitude of King Qin to Chu Junlan just now, and then heard her say "friendship", and immediately blushed with anger, "You are just a humble person, and you can't even be a serious lady in the Duke's Mansion. The emperor raised your identity, would you just pull it? What qualifications do you have to make a relationship with Your Highness King Qin!"
Chu Junlan saw that this woman was already crazy. Any woman with a better relationship with the King of Qin would be her enemy.
A woman, for the sake of love, made herself so hateful. Chu Junlan didn't know if she should sympathize with her.
"Forget it, since you say that, I will not be troublesome, I will just let you go, but there is one thing I want to advise you."
Chu Junlan approached Wang Shitong two steps.
When Wang Shitong saw her approaching, she immediately frowned and retreated, as if Chu Junlan was a beast that could eat people.
Chu Junlan didn't care, and just asked in a low voice: "I can see what you want to do. I will only ask you one thing, do you have no feelings for His Highness Qin?"
Wang Shitong immediately turned red: "You... why do you say that? Everyone in this world knows that I am wholeheartedly devoted to him. I have loved him for so many years. Could it be that you can deny it with just one question?"
