592 Giving a Beauty a Flower (3)
“I wouldn’t dare.” Xie Changwu was sweating profusely and said, “It’s just that I really didn’t write a letter to you.”
When Princess Ming An heard this, she shouted angrily, “If you didn’t write a letter to me, explain to me why you’re here now. Just as the letter said, you’re going to give Shen Miao an unforgettable painful experience tonight. Why didn’t you tell me?”
Xie Changwu didn’t know what to say, but he was secretly surprised. That letter to Princess Ming An actually included everything he planned to do. Only he and Xie Changchao knew about the plan. If this letter was written by Xie Changchao to Princess Ming An, why would Xie Changchao do this? Xie Changwu forced a smile and said, “That’s indeed what I plan to do. It’s just that Shen Miao is in my brother’s hands now. I’m still waiting for him to show up.”
“Xie Changchao?” Princess Ming An frowned. “Aren’t you brothers together?”
Xie Changwu did not dare to say that Xie Changchao had been missing for many days, so he could only answer vaguely, “I’m afraid it will arouse suspicion, so my brother and I are acting separately.”
Princess Ming An did not suspect anything. She thought for a moment and asked, “You told me that the news that Shen Miao has returned to the Shen family these days is actually a scam plotted by Shen Xin and Princess Rong Xin. Is what you said true?”
Xie Changwu’s heart skipped a beat and he said, “That’s right.” In fact, Xie Changwu was not confident. After all, this was only Xie Changchao’s one-sided story. However, at this moment, he could only choose to believe in Xie Changchao. Xie Changwu did not suspect that the letter on his table was fake. After all, in the world, other than Xie Changwu, there was probably no one else who could imitate Xie Changchao’s handwriting. Moreover, it was impossible for others to know the secret code the two brothers used to communicate.
Princess Ming An rubbed her hands and shouted at Xie Changwu, “When is Xie Changchao coming over?”
Xie Changwu said, “He said he will come at midnight.”
“What time is it now?” Princess Ming An asked her personal guard, who replied, “It’s almost midnight.”
The snow outside was blowing. For some reason, Xie Changwu suddenly felt more and more uneasy. Looking at the dark night sky, his heart was beating extremely fast. He instinctively wanted to escape as if he had sensed danger approaching. He looked at Princess Ming An and asked tentatively, “Your highness, why don’t you go back first? If there’s any progress, I’ll tell you the next day.”
“Do you think I’ll let you order me around?” Princess Ming An flew into a rage. “I’ve already come personally. Xie Changwu, I can kill you at any time!”
Princess Ming An was so domineering and fierce that Xie Changwu could only force a smile and stop talking. At this moment, they heard the sound of footsteps outside. Princess Ming An looked happy and said, “They’re here!”
The two of them walked to the bow of the boat to take a look and saw a group of men in black suddenly appear on the frozen lake. These men in black were wrapped from head to toe, only revealing their eyes. Princess Ming An’s expression softened slightly and she said, “They did it quite secretly.” She threw a sweeping glance across the dozens of people and then frowned. “Where’s Shen Miao?”
These people in black were all men, and there were no signs of Shen Miao. Princess Ming An looked back at Xie Changwu with a frown. “What’s wrong with Xie Changchao?”
When Xie Changwu saw these ten or so people in black, he instinctively felt a chill run down his spine. They did not look like good people, not to mention that Xie Changwu didn’t see Xie Changchao among them.
Xie Changwu wanted to run, but in the snow, the surface of Lake Wanli was frozen. If he ran on the ice, he would slip. Moreover, the surface of the lake was quite big, and there was no place to hide. Escape was easier said than done. Xie Changwu shouted, “Who are you?”
