592 Giving a Beauty a Flower (3)
âI wouldnât dare.â Xie Changwu was sweating profusely and said, âItâs just that I really didnât write a letter to you.â
When Princess Ming An heard this, she shouted angrily, âIf you didnât write a letter to me, explain to me why youâre here now. Just as the letter said, youâre going to give Shen Miao an unforgettable painful experience tonight. Why didnât you tell me?â
Xie Changwu didnât 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, âThatâs indeed what I plan to do. Itâs just that Shen Miao is in my brotherâs hands now. Iâm still waiting for him to show up.â
âXie Changchao?â Princess Ming An frowned. âArenât you brothers together?â
Xie Changwu did not dare to say that Xie Changchao had been missing for many days, so he could only answer vaguely, âIâm afraid it will arouse suspicion, so my brother and I are acting separately.â
Princess Ming An did not suspect anything. She thought for a moment and asked, âYou 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?â
Xie Changwuâs heart skipped a beat and he said, âThatâs right.â In fact, Xie Changwu was not confident. After all, this was only Xie Changchaoâs 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 Changchaoâs 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, âWhen is Xie Changchao coming over?â
Xie Changwu said, âHe said he will come at midnight.â
âWhat time is it now?â Princess Ming An asked her personal guard, who replied, âItâs almost midnight.â
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, âYour highness, why donât you go back first? If thereâs any progress, Iâll tell you the next day.â
âDo you think Iâll let you order me around?â Princess Ming An flew into a rage. âIâve already come personally. Xie Changwu, I can kill you at any time!â
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, âTheyâre here!â
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 Anâs expression softened slightly and she said, âThey did it quite secretly.â She threw a sweeping glance across the dozens of people and then frowned. âWhereâs Shen Miao?â
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. âWhatâs wrong with Xie Changchao?â
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 didnât 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, âWho are you?â
