Chapter 125 He Didn't Touch Her
"you……"
Wang Wanshu's face drained of color, her eyes trembled violently with fear, and she stammered, "You...you're insane—"
Yun Shang slightly raised his dark eyes, his deep gaze filled with a cold, dark light. Under the pale moonlight, the smile on his lips became even more sinister.
"The princess likes me so much, didn't she know what kind of person I was before?"
He reached out, the dagger landing on Wang Wanshu's cheek, patting it lightly, his voice deep and somber, "I've always been this crazy."
"If the princess continues to pester me, I guarantee I can show her an even crazier side of me."
Wang Wanshu had never suffered such terrifying intimidation before. Before Yun Shang could finish speaking, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
Upon seeing this, Yun Shang lowered his eyes slightly.
After a long while, he suppressed the ferocity in his eyes and casually tossed the dagger in his hand into a corner.
He tied the hanging hemp rope around Wang Wanshu's waist and tugged it hard.
At the edge of the trap, the guard turned to Prince Chen and said, "Your Highness, there's movement down below!"
Prince Chen breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Pull it up quickly!"
"Yes!"
Several guards pulled the rope up with all their might. Prince Chen kept his eyes on the trap opening, already thinking about how Yun Shang would thank him when she came up. But he didn't expect that there was only Wang Wanshu on the other end of the rope.
Yu Wan was also taken aback when she saw that only Wang Wanshu had been pulled out.
He couldn't help but secretly click his tongue in amazement.
Yun Shang is so heartless! Such a beautiful woman, how could he bear to let her be ruined and made so dirty?
Wang Wanshu was pulled up while unconscious. During the process, her body kept rolling and rubbing against the edge of the trap. Her white clothes were covered in dirt and were a complete mess.
Her once jet-black hair was now covered in mud and grass clippings, making it an eyesore.
After a moment of stunned silence, Prince Chen took off his outer robe and draped it over Wang Wanshu, then ordered the guards, "Help the princess back immediately!"
The guards obeyed and led Wang Wanshu away quickly, and Prince Chen then ordered someone to lower the rope.
Before long, Yun Shang used the momentum to climb up.
Compared to the disheveled Wang Wanshu, he only had some dust and grass clippings on his robes, and his expression was indifferent and calm.
If you didn't know better, you would never guess that he had just climbed out of a seven- or eight-meter-deep trap.
Yu Wan secretly observed Yun Shang, thinking to herself.
As expected, the male and female protagonists in old-fashioned romance novels all have mysterious constitutions. Yun Shang is clearly a sickly beauty with a chronic illness, panting after every three steps and panting heavily after every five steps, but at times, his stamina is quite amazing.
Yu Wan was lost in thought when Yun Shang suddenly looked up, and their eyes met unexpectedly.
Yu Wan clearly saw that when they met eyes, the indifference and coldness in Yun Shang's eyes melted away, and a faint smile appeared.
For no apparent reason, Yu Wan's heart skipped a beat.
"Thank you for today, Yun Shang." Prince Chen's voice broke the awkward atmosphere that had inexplicably arisen between the two. He reached out and patted Yun Shang's shoulder, his tone slightly deep:
"I will have people watching her from now on, and nothing like this will happen again."
Yun Shang glanced at Prince Chen, his face showing no displeasure, and said calmly, "It's alright, Your Highness need not take it to heart."
If Wang Wanshu continues to pester him, he has plenty of ways to treat her well.
"Tianyin must have been quite frightened. I'll go and see her first." Prince Chen said this with a gentle smile before leaving with Mingwei and the others.
Two guards were left behind to protect Yun Shang and Yu Wan.
Yun Shang first dusted off his clothes before reaching out to Yu Wan.
"Let's go, let's go back and rest."
Yu Wan hesitated and thought about it.
Thinking that the woods were dark and it would be easy to slip and fall, he placed his hand on Yun Shang's hand.
The two walked side by side.
Yu Wan whispered, "I thought you wouldn't agree to Prince Chen's request."
Yun Shang said, "We still have to travel tomorrow, and I don't want this matter to delay your rest."
Yu Wan paused for a moment, her eyes trembling slightly as she looked at the man beside her.
She had no idea that Yun Shang agreed to set a trap for Wang Wanshu for this reason.
Indeed, if Wang Wanshu remained stubbornly unwilling to come out, dawn would soon break.
A hint of joy welled up in her heart, and Yu Wan suppressed the corners of her mouth, letting out a soft "Oh".
Yun Shang glanced at her sideways.
The cool moonlight occasionally filtered through the gaps in the trees, falling on the girl beside him.
Her bright and lively eyes were like those of a fairy who came with the moonlight, and she possessed both the clarity and ethereal quality of the moon.
Yun Shang's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, his voice a little hoarse, "I didn't touch her."
"Um, what?"
Yu Wan didn't react for a moment.
Turning his head to meet Yun Shang's dark eyes, he belatedly realized what was happening.
Is Yun Shang implying that he didn't touch Wang Wanshu in the trap?
Yu Wan quickly looked away, a slight smile playing on her lips, and muttered softly, "Why are you telling me all this?"
"Because you are my wife."
Yu Wan felt a tingling sensation in her heart.
She wasn't unaware that Yun Shang had called her "wife".
When she first transmigrated, Yun Shang would occasionally call her "wife" in a fake manner. At that time, Yu Wan felt a chill down her spine and goosebumps all over her body. She felt uncomfortable and creeped out.
But hearing him say "Madam" now, for some reason, I wanted to hear him call her that a few more times.
Yu Wan glanced at him discreetly.
Before she could say anything, Yun Shang suddenly put his arm around her shoulder.
A man's low, husky voice sounded in her ear, "The road here is steep, I'll help you, madam."
Yu Wan's heart skipped a beat. "...Oh."
While they were brimming with romantic tension, Wang Wanshu was trapped in a nightmare.
She felt as if she had been split in two; one half of her was captivated by Yun Shang's tenderness towards her in her 'past life,' while the other half was experiencing Yun Shang's threats against her.
The threatening Yun Shang was like a monster crawling out of the abyss, with an eerie red light in its eyes, trying to drag her into the abyss.
Wang Wanshu struggled desperately, but her other half couldn't help but move closer to Yun Shang, even though he posed a deadly danger.
Wang Wanshu was in tears, struggling desperately in fear.
There seemed to be a voice deep inside her saying something. She couldn't hear it clearly, but she vaguely sensed that the voice was telling her to stay away from Yun Shang.
But at the same time, a voice in my mind, like a spell, kept repeating those words over and over again.
She and Yun Shang are a match made in heaven.
She is Yun Shang's true love.
She must stay with Yun Shang.
"Do not……"
Inside the carriage, Prince Chen frowned deeply as he looked at Wang Wanshu, who was drenched in cold sweat and whose face was filled with pain.
He asked the imperial physician beside him in a deep voice, "What exactly is wrong with the princess?"
The imperial physician had never encountered such a situation before. He carefully considered his words and said, "The princess seems to be having a nightmare. I will give her acupuncture to calm her down."
