Is Shen Xihe just here for formalities
Of course.
She was Xiao Huayong's fiancée, and she and Xiao Huayong had always been a couple. Who in Kyoto didn't think that she and Xiao Huayong were in love
At this time, Xiao Huayong and Xiao Changying disappeared. Xiao Changying came back and knew that they had been kidnapped together. It would be unreasonable for her not to ask the reason.
When he entered the house, he found Xiao Changqing was also there. It was natural for an elder brother to visit and take care of his younger brother after he had suffered a hard time. Shen Xihe greeted them, and Xiao Changqing left tactfully.
Shen Xihe was left alone with Zhenzhu, Ziyu, and Xiao Changying in the room. The door was wide open. Shen Xihe withdrew his gaze from the beautiful blue sky and asked politely, "Is your highness injured?"
"Thank you for your concern. Xiao Wang is not injured." Xiao Changying's tone was a little stiff and his face did not look good.
Shen Xihe felt that he had not offended him, so he naturally did not want to be a vent for his anger. He nodded slightly, turned around and walked out.
"You're not going to ask a single question?" Xiao Changying stood up suddenly and asked loudly when he saw her leaving like that.
Shen Xihe stopped and turned to look at Xiao Changying: "Didn't Zhao Ning ask a question just now?"
Xiao Changying choked and suppressed his anger: "My princess, are you really here just to care about the little prince?"
"Of course not." Shen Xihe said frankly, "But I have nothing to say to Your Highness."
It was just for others to see, especially His Majesty. Shen Xihe felt that there was no need to be hypocritical. She was there for the record.
"You know everything clearly, and even your pretense is so perfunctory. Aren't you afraid that there are His Majesty's ears and eyes in this courtyard? By acting like this, you are actually incriminating yourself." Xiao Changying stared at Shen Xihe, his beautiful eyes dark.
"His Royal Highness Prince Xin was here just now." Shen Xihe smiled faintly.
Xiao Changying: “???”
"Since Your Highness is with His Highness Prince Xin, I think brothers can talk about anything, and it is inevitable that they will talk about current events. His Highness Prince Xin will definitely ask about the day Your Highness disappeared." Shen Xihe explained in a calm voice, "Since the two princes can speak freely and openly, I think now is the safest time."
Because of this, Shen Xihe didn't even want to act any more. She was sure that when Xiao Changqing and Xiao Changying were together, they would definitely talk about politics, Xiao Huayong, and the current situation, and there would definitely be things they didn't want His Majesty to know.
It doesn't matter if there are His Majesty's men in this yard, they are definitely not around at the moment.
Seeing Xiao Changying's expression stagnant, Shen Xihe added: "If there really were ears on the other side of the wall, Your Highness would not ask me this."
Her intelligence, her sharpness, her calmness, like the golden light from the sun at midday, envelops her entire body and gives her the breadth of mind and bearing of a man.
At this moment, Xiao Changying had to admit that he was not worthy of her. Standing in front of her, he felt inferior. What they thought, what they worried about and what they saw were not in the same realm. He needed to look up to her.
Suddenly, he didn't want to see her. As a prince, he was both civil and military, and there were always people bowing and scraping before him. This was the first time he realized that he really couldn't stand shoulder to shoulder with her.
The pain in his heart made him look away in embarrassment: "To make you feel at ease."
