Chapter 58: Teasing Leng Yufeng
Translator: Claire.KK
The Crown Prince, Shang Wuxin, sat there with his legs crossed and looked up at the man in black standing there, who seemed at a loss.

“General Leng?” Shang Wuxin called him and broke the embarrassing silence.

Leng Yufeng walked to the Crown Prince and sat down opposite to her; then he puckered his lips and said, “My wound needs a dressing change.” Leng Yufeng couldn’t find other excuse to stay here, but he really didn’t want to leave. As the scenes that the Crown Prince bound up his wound suddenly came into his mind, Leng Yufeng was in a muddle and gave such a far-fetched reason.

Hearing this, Shang Wuxin almost dropped the jade pendant in her hands, wondering that she had become a nurse?

“General Leng, you want me to change your dressing?” Shang Wuxin said in an unidentifiable tone, without showing her mood. At the moment, Leng Yufeng felt nervous when he looked at the Crown Prince. Then he thought of the identity of the Crown Prince and realized that his words could made the Crown Prince angry, so, he stood up immediately.

“I’ve gone too far!” Then he prepared to leave the carriage.

Shang Wuxin looked at Leng Yufeng and thought he was interesting. Before Leng Yufeng left the carriage, Shang Wuxin said, “General Leng is my savior, and dressing change should be my job! But why General Leng hurried to leave? Don’t you want me to do that?”

“Yes!” Leng Yufeng replied immediately and returned to the seat quickly. Then he took off his coats fast and showed his strong chest, as if he was afraid that the Crown Prince would back out. If Shang Wuxin didn’t see Leng Yufeng’s red neck, she would think that General had become thick-skinned.

Leng Yufeng took off his tops and waited for the Crown Prince to change the dressing for him. Although he felt embarrassed, he had to acknowledge that he loved this kind of feeling. Leng Yufeng, lowering his head, waited for a while, but the Crown Prince didn’t approach him. As Leng Yufeng looked up, he blushed instantly.

The Crown Prince was poking her pointed chin with her white fingers and staring at Leng Yufeng’s strong but not extravagant chest with her deep eyes, which were full of appreciation for this beautiful body.

Leng Yufeng tried to control his heartbeat but failed, and his face was getting more and more red, which made the Crown Prince feel very amused. Shang Wuxin felt like she was teasing a large canid, and she even thought that Leng Yufeng’s averted eyes were so funny.

“Crown…” While Leng Yufeng opened his mouth, he found that he stammered, “Crown Prince, Crown Prince, what happened to you?”

The young general who would take the lead when facing a large number of enemies, but at the moment, he seemed like an idiot who could barely speak.

Shang Wuxin drew back her sight, she knew that if she went too far, the large canid would get angry. Shang Wuxin didn’t believe that Leng Yufeng would hit her. What she didn’t knew was no matter what she would do to him, Leng Yufeng wouldn’t hurt her, instead, he wanted the Crown Prince do something to him so badly.

While Leng Yufeng was waiting for the Crown Prince’s reply, instead of hearing her answer, he felt her approach. Then Leng Yufeng felt the clothes on his back were untied and the medicine were applied on his wound. Only at this time did Leng Yufeng dare to look down at the Crown Prince obsessively, but he had to control his loving eyes for fear that Crown Prince would find something.

Leng Yufeng looked at Crown Prince’s eyelashes that were like butterflies jittering. He didn’t find that the Crown Prince’s lovely eyelashes were long and curly until he looked at her closely. Her eyelashes flapped up and down like feathers. Leng Yufeng found that his heart beat as her eyelashes vibrated, also happy about the strange feeling.

However, because Shang Wuxin were close to Leng Yufeng, she could hear his heartbeats like thunder but in an odd rhythm. As Shang Wuxin blinked her eyes, her eyelashes flapped, and more strangely the heartbeats throbbed. Shang Wuxin suddenly looked up at Leng Yufeng and saw the obsession in his eyes that he hadn’t withdraw timely.

Shang Wuxin was stunned. But when she scrutinized Leng Yufeng’s eyes once again, they became as cool as usual. She lowered her head and continued to bind for him. Thanks for the good medicine, his wound were almost healed. Shang Wuxin had to acknowledge that the great physician’s medicine was really helpful.

“Done!” Shang Wuxin retracted her hands and sat opposite to Leng Yufeng, “Your wound recovers well. It will heal soon after today’ dressing change.”

Hearing that, Leng Yufeng felt lost and wished the wound on his back could rupture again. Thinking that he had no reasons to approach the Crown Prince since then, Leng Yufeng got a little anxious. After thinking for a while, Leng Yufeng asked tentatively, “I am Crown Prince’s teacher. Tomorrow, I will come to the Mansion to teach you!”

Then, Leng Yufeng got off the carriage before the Crown Prince answered. Shang Wuxin looked at the slightly wobbling curtains with some contemplation, while Leng Yufeng, who just jumped out of the carriage, stood there looked at the back of the carriage, feeling annoyed, and wondered whether what he had just done would make the Crown Prince feel antipathy against him. Finally, Leng Yufeng decided he would go to the Mansion of Crown Prince anyway.

Shang Wuxin, sitting in the carriage, was practicing a new method that the Chief Hai found for her. This method was of no help for her cultivation of martial arts, but it could cause the disorder of her pulse, which could make others unable to identify her gender. Shang Wuxin had practiced this method for many days, and she almost mastered it, so, there was nothing to avoid when she contacted with others.

When Shang Wuxin came back to the Mansion of Crown Prince, Nangong Lian returned to her own court immediately. Because she knew very well that Prince Shang didn’t believe her. If she continued to stay there, she would be cold-shouldered. And she received the news that her brother would come to Shang State.

When Shang Wuxin walked through the hall, she saw a sleepy teenager dozing off. Shang Wuxin looked at him carefully and recognized him that he was Leng Zishi, the younger brother of Leng Yufeng.

As there were several empty teacups on the table, she guessed that Leng Zishi might had waited for her for a long time. Although he propped his head with his hands, his head drooped from time to time, because he was so sleepy. Obviously, he tried to open his eyes but failed, which made him look very cute. It was very hard to imagine that a boy could be more lovely than a girl.

Wu Ju and Wu wei, standing behind Shang Wuxin, also looked at the little boy, Leng Zishi, and a glimmer of smile flashed in their eyes. Both of them were young but experienced, and even when they were little girls, they were not as naïve as him. Compared with them, who belonged to the dark world, Leng Zishi was a boy living in the sunshine.

Looking at Leng Zishi, Shang Wuxin’s cool eyes were covered with mist. She turned around and was about to leave. However, the sleepy boy woke up at this time, and run to the Crown prince, while his eyes hadn’t yet fully open.

“Your Highness, you are back!” Leng Zishi stood in front of the Crown Prince and blocked her way back to her resting palace.

Shang Wuxin’s fingers relaxed, but she still looked cool and serious, saying, “Why Childe Leng came to Mansion of Crown Prince?” Shang Wuxin didn’t become friendly or gentle because of the innocence and brightness of Leng Zishi.

Leng Zishi stood close to the Crown Prince and caught a pleasant scent from the Crown Prince’s body, who smelled much better than his cousin. Leng Zishi also found that the Crown Prince was really good-looking. Although both his eldest brother and Brother Huan were handsome men rarely seen, Leng Zishi thought that the Crown Prince’s beauty was different from theirs, but he couldn’t tell the difference.

“Well…” Leng Zishi rubbed his hair shyly, winked his big eyes, and looked at the Crown Prince, “I, I want to follow your Highness!” Leng Zishi considered for a while, afraid that the Crown Prince would reject him, so he explained firmly, “I think that Crown Prince is a competent person rather than the kind of person as others describe. There are a lot of things that I want to study from your Highness! I am not willing to be protected by others!”

Shang Wuxin looked at Leng Zishi, her cold and indifferent eyes didn’t show any kindness but only ignorance and ruthlessness, which made Leng Zishi feel an urge to run away from here as fast as possible.

Wu Wei and Wu Ju all thought that the Crown Prince wouldn’t agree; after all, this kind of boys like Leng Zishi weren’t suitable for this kind of life. What was more, Wu Wei and Wu Ju believed that the Crown Prince didn’t have the kind heart to take in such a boy. But just when they thought the Crown Prince wouldn’t agree, they heard Shang Wuxin spoke.

“Come here tomorrow!” Shang Wuxin directly left after saying that. Both Wu Wei and Wu Ju felt confused about that; they glanced at Leng Zishi, who stood there stunned, before they left following the Crown Prince.

Leng Zishi stood there and murmured like a lemon, “I didn’t expect he would agree. Crown Prince is really a nice man!”

Leng Yufeng: My Crown Prince, I was wounded. Come and apply medicine for me!”

Shang Wuxin: What did you say? I didn’t hear you.

Leng Yufeng: Xiner, I suffer pains. Don’t you feel distressed? Look at me! How miserable I am! Come and help me apply medicine!

Shang Wuxin: No, not at all.

Leng Yufeng: It was all because of Xiner that I was wounded.

Shang Wuxin: Come here. (Leng Yufeng came to her happily.)
