"Xie Jing Xing?"
Shen Miao and Xie Jing Xing suddenly turned their heads, but saw a person stumbled out of the grass, when they approached, Shen Miao's body could not help but stiffen, and she subconsciously looked at Xie Jing Xing's expression. But because Xie Jing Xing was wearing a mask, he couldn't see anything.
That person is Princess Rongxin.
Princess Rong Xin originally wanted to take a small path to enter, but when she came to this place, she saw Shen Miao being pulled over by a strange man. Princess Rong Xin hurriedly asked the palace maids to wait outside and followed by herself, if others saw Shen Miao with a strange man, it would lead to rumors.
Princess Rong Xin could trust Shen Miao's conduct. But she just looked at Shen Miao's unwilling appearance, for fear that Shen Miao was entangled by a certain prince in the palace, or caused some trouble, and was determined to help Shen Miao. But it is not easy to rush forward, saving a misunderstanding.
She was far apart at first and could not understand what the two were talking about, but later she saw that Shen Miao was about to cry, she walked forward in a hurry and just heard Shen Miao's words "Xie Jing Xing, you Don't go too far."
Princess Rongxin cried out.
But seeing that tall and straight figure turned around, it was an unfamiliar young man with a half-silver mask on his face. He nodded slightly to her.
Princess Rongxin stepped forward quickly, only then did she see that this man was Prince Rui.
Prince Rui who came from Great Liang, when he first came to Ming Qi and entered the palace, Princess Rong Xin had also met as a princess. However, she never cared about these court affairs, nor did she deliberately inquire about it. Seeing that this person is Prince Rui at this moment, I can't tell what it feels like in my heart.
But what Shen Miao said just now, "Xie Jing Xing", was indeed Xie Jing Xing, she heard correctly.
Princess Rong Xin looked at Shen Miao questioningly and asked, "Miss Shen, just now you called His Royal Highness Prince Rui... Xie Jing Xing?"
Before Shen Miao could speak, Prince Rui took the initiative to speak. He said, "This king's name is Xie Yuan, and the small character is Jing Xing. The small character that Miss Shen called this king just now."
Shen Miao breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, thinking that Xie Jing Xing's reaction was extremely fast at this time, and she could always find a reason to perfunctory. When he saw Princess Rong Xin's strange expression, he reacted abruptly and scolded Xie Jing Xing in his heart.
Apart from relatives, only wives or lovers would call each other in small characters, her name was Xie Jing Xing in small characters, and in the eyes of Princess Rong Xin, who knew what it would be like!
Xie Jing Xing must have done it on purpose!
Princess Rong Xin swept between Prince Rui and Shen Miao, but finally settled on Prince Rui.
There are some similar ones, such as this purple dress, who can wear purple clothes so extravagantly, only the naughty boy who walks the horse Zhangtai. But there are some things that are not like, that strange, some cool, and the decisive but ruthless energy that only a high-ranking person has, but it is completely different from the youth in his memory.
Xie Jing Xing died long ago, he died on the battlefield where thousands of horses galloped in the northern Xinjiang, thousands of arrows pierced his heart to death.
Her heart stinged for a moment, Princess Rong Xin suddenly covered her heart and bent down, no matter how many times she thought of Xie Jing Xing's death, she could not let go. After Princess Yuqing died, she took Xie Jing Xing as her son, lost her son in middle age, and the white-haired man gave the black-haired man. Her grief was no less than Xie Ding.
Shen Miao hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, but the purple clothed youth stood with her hands behind her back and glanced at her lightly without moving.
There was a wry smile on Princess Rong Xin's lips.
Yes, how could Prince Rui be Xie Jing Xing? If it was Xie Jing Xing, why would he not be so indifferent, like watching a stranger watching her struggling. If Xie Jing Xing was still alive, how could he bear to see her in such pain.
Princess Rongxin waved her hand and said, "Why are you here?"
Shen Miao replied, "The Empress asked me to enter the palace."
Princess Rong Xin frowned and looked at Xie Jing Xing again and asked, "Why is Prince Rui here?"
Shen Miao glanced at Xie Jing Xing and said, "When I came out of the palace, the little eunuch who was leading the way had something to do, and after waiting for a long time, I didn't see him, but when I walked, I got lost and happened to meet His Royal Highness Prince Rui, so I asked His Royal Highness to help me. A guide."
These words were almost blatant deceit, Princess Rong Xin had clearly seen just now that Prince Rui dragged Shen Miao all the way to this place. Besides, Shen Miao also called Prince Rui's small characters, the relationship between the two was extraordinary.
Princess Rongxin was inexplicably angry. At the beginning when Xie Jing Xing brought Shen Miao to the princess residence, Princess Rong Xin thought that Xie Jing Xing treated Shen Miao as special, and the more she got in touch with Shen Miao, the more she liked Shen Miao, Princess Rong Xin always had the intention to match Shen Miao and Xie Jing Xing. If it wasn't for Xie Jing Xing's death in battle, perhaps this marriage would have ended.
Now Shen Miao has a very close relationship with another man, and this man's small character also happens to be called "Jing Xing". It was as if her belongings were taken by others, Princess Rongxin was not feeling well. She also knew that it was impossible for Shen Miao not to marry for a lifetime, but Prince Rui was not from Ming Qi and Princess Rong Xin had lived for most of her life and could see clearly that this Prince Rui acted strangely and revealed danger all over her body. Not a simple man, if Shen Miao fell in love with this man, it would be too complicated.
"So, on behalf of Shen, I would like to thank His Royal Highness Prince Rui." Princess Rongxin said. However, he tried his best to draw a clear line between Shen Miao and Prince Rui.
Prince Rui nodded.
"Since the eunuch who led the way is gone, there are many maids in this palace, and this palace asks her to take you out. You will not bother Prince Rui on the road after that." Princess Rongxin said again. This attitude was clearly defending Prince Rui.
Prince Rui didn't say anything, just responded lightly, and left first.
After Prince Rui left, Princess Rong Xin breathed a sigh of relief and asked Shen Miao, "How did you meet him?"
Shen Miao did not expect to encounter Princess Rong Xin suddenly today, nor did she expect that Princess Rong Xin would actually hear what she and Xie Jing Xing said. He couldn't help but secretly complained that normally Xie Jing Xing's secret guard had good ears and eyesight, he could catch even a mouse running by, but today was a critical time to let the wind out, but he didn't know if he was blind, and even Princess Rong Xin didn't notice.
She said: "I have met with His Royal Highness Prince Rui a few times by chance, so it is considered an acquaintance."
Princess Rong Xin took a deep look at her and said, "If you don't want to say it, I won't force you to say it. It's just... This person is not from Ming Qi, so I'm not sure he has any plans for you. You are smart. Young lady, you have to take care of some things yourself, not for yourself, but also for your parents and elder brother.” It was because she was afraid that Shen Miao would be deceived by the man.
Shen Miao didn't know whether to laugh or cry in her heart, the misunderstanding had reached such a level that she couldn't solve it if she thought about it. Princess Rongxin stroked her heart and took a few breaths. Seeing this, Shen Miao asked, "Where is the princess feeling uncomfortable?"
"I had a heart attack in my early years," Princess Rongxin shook her head: "It's been a serious problem these days."
Seeing her pain and sadness, Shen Miao remembered in a trance that Princess Rong Xin also had a heart disease in her previous life and the imperial doctor also said not to worry too much, as Xing's heart disease hurts badly. She said, "The princess should find an imperial doctor to take a good look, or go to the people to ask about a doctor who specializes in heart disease. It's very sad to be in pain like this."
"It doesn't matter." Princess Rongxin waved her hand: "Bengong has lived until now. I have enjoyed what I should enjoy, and I have enjoyed what I shouldn't enjoy. This life is not a loss. It is probably not too long to live, and I don't want to toss." Her voice gradually fell: "After all... there's nothing to worry about."
Shen Miao knew that she was thinking of Xie Jing Xing again and did not know how to comfort her, so she could only say, "Little Marquis will not be happy to see the princess like this."
“If he really cared about my aunt, he would not be so heartless.” Princess Rong Xin put away the sadness on her face, patted Shen Miao’s hand, and said, “Brother Huang intends to do it for you. I have already heard about the marriage. I have come to the palace today to bring this up to the imperial brother. Shen Miao, you are not willing to marry the crown prince, right?”
Shen Miao did not expect that Princess Rong Xin would intercede for her, she felt a little embarrassed for a while, in her previous life she tried to please Princess Rong Xin, but what she got was only Princess Rong Xin's contempt and disdain. In this life, because of Xie Jing Xing's relationship, Princess Rong Xin changed her mind and even Emperor Wen Hui's decision was willing to fight for her. Although Shen Miao knew that Princess Rong Xin could not influence what Emperor Wen Hui decided, but she would keep this affection in her heart. Shen Miao said, "I am not willing to marry into the Eastern Palace, but the princess does not have to force it. In the world, there is God's will, just let it go and God will make arrangements."
Instead, Princess Rongxin smiled and said, "You can see clearly."
She said: "It's not early, I won't tell you, go there first, and I'll ask the palace maid to take you out."
…
Shen Miao was escorted out of the palace gate by Princess Rong Xin’s palace maid, Jing Zhe and Gu Yu who were waiting outside came up first, first looked at Shen Miao up and down, and only after making sure Shen Miao was safe and sound, said, “I scared the slave to death, wait a while. For such a long time, I thought something was wrong. If the girl doesn't come out again, the slaves will try to find a way to go in. "
Shen Miao laughed, "It's not Longtan Tiger's Den, how can it be so scary." In his heart, he thought to himself that the two killers who appeared inexplicably today, but who they were, dared to kill her in the palace. However, if she is investigated, if she dies, the prince will only be harmful. If the other party doesn't want to sit and watch the prince's dominance and make no mistakes, then the person who is not the king of Zhou is the person who is the king of Li. It was impossible for Fu Xiuyi. It wasn't long after the affair between Shen Wan and Prince Qin, Fu Xiuyi wouldn't take the initiative to get on the cusp. With his forbearance, he would hide for a while.
Thinking about it, I couldn't help sneering in my heart. All in all, the Fu family didn't have a good thing. The Shen family and the Fu family are also destined to be opposite sides. Either you die or I die. If the other party is so cruel, she will not be merciful.
Mo Qing stepped forward and motioned for Shen Miao to get on the carriage and set off for the Shen residence.
On the street where people come and go at the gate of the palace, there is a lively tavern, and someone in the corner is observing the movements of Mo Qing and his group. When she saw that Shen Miao came out of the palace gate unharmed, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, then she picked up the sword on the table and left quietly.
When Shen Miao returned to the Shen residence, naturally, Shen Qiu and the others gathered around to ask Shen Miao what the queen said to her in the palace today. Shen Miao skipped what happened to Xie Jing Xing and only told what the Empress said to her. The people of the Shen family were worried again, the royal family was threatening Shen Miao with neither light nor heavy, as they were afraid that the days would be shortened day by day, they had to think of a way as soon as possible.
Luo Xue Yan then remembered the few people who had entered the manor to propose marriage and wanted to ask Shen Miao what she meant. If among these people, Shen Miao feels a little bit better about someone else, then let’s do this first. After all, Shen Xin had also inquired about it. Although it was not perfect, there was no problem in terms of conduct.
But Shen Miao had only experienced Xie Jing Xing today, her mind was in a turmoil, how could she still have the mood to talk about it, when Luo Xueyan mentioned it, she rarely showed a trace of displeasure. Seeing this, Shen Xin and the others all looked at each other in dismay, thinking that Shen Miao was disturbed by the Queen's words in the palace, so it is not good to continue talking. They let Shen Miao rest in the room earlier and left by herself.
When Shen Miao returned to the room, it was already dark, Gu Yu lit the oil lamp for her. Jing Zhe saw that Shen Miao was in a bad mood today and did not dare to stay in the room to disturb her, so he pulled Gu Yu down and closed the door, leaving Shen Miao alone in the room.
She combed her hair irritably, but there seemed to be a nameless anger in her chest that couldn't go down. Thinking of Xie Jing Xing's questioning in the palace today, he couldn't help but feel more annoyed and aggrieved. What does her own affairs have to do with Xie Jing Xing, will Xie Jing Xing intervene in her life
But now that the marriage has come, all the forces have intervened, and with the addition of Xie Jing Xing, she is more and more unable to help herself.
Thinking of those words that Pei Lang said, Shen Miao couldn't help but smile, but the smile was a bit miserable. Women don't want to marry a man who loves each other and grow old together forever. It's just that she was used to seeing the ups and downs of the world in her previous life. After all, the so-called love between her and Fu Xiuyi was just her own wishful thinking. She has never really experienced what it's like to be in love with each other. But know that once you love, your mind is not your own. She doesn't want to be like the previous life, stupidly handing over the happiness of her life to others, and now it's fine. It is much easier to control your heart from the beginning than to let it go and then take it back.
It's just that I'm not very comfortable.
She sat under the lamp for a while, but she didn't think about anything. After a while, she blew out the lamp with a puff and crawled onto the couch to sleep.
…
The wind and snow in Prince Rui's mansion was exceptionally heavy today.
A kind of guard stood tremblingly in the wind, and even the white tiger, which had grown a little strong, was thrown outside the dormitory and was punished to stand. Today's Prince Rui is not pleasing to anyone, and in Prince Rui's mansion They were punished all over the place, and even Ji Yushu and Gao Yang were imprisoned in the inner wall of the tower.
Where is the tower prison, all the wicked people are locked, and to deal with these wicked people, torture is also necessary. As the most cruel place of the Mo Yu Army, there are not nine, nine or eighty kinds of torture, but also seven, seven or forty-nine kinds of torture. Many men with strong temperaments went to guard the tower, and they came out crying and wailing in a few days. When I went in, I came out after a long time of dressing up on the bed, and I vomited whatever I ate for a month.
Ji Yushu and Gao Yang, the two young masters who looked at the tender and delicate body, entered the tower and faced the wall... The guards of Prince Rui's mansion secretly shed tears of sympathy for the two of them.
Nightingale quietly poked Nan Qi's arm, and asked, "What's wrong with my lord? Who messed with him?"
Nan Qi made a "shh", and when he saw that there was no movement in the dormitory, he said in a low voice, "Miss Shen Wu was given a marriage by the palace, and Young Master Gao and Young Master Ji missed the report, and the master was angry."
Nightingale covered her mouth and widened her eyes for a long time before she said, "Young Master Gao and Young Master Ji are really brave, and Fifth Young Miss Shen dared to hide the news. No wonder they're going to be imprisoned in the tower." The white tiger, who was shivering in the middle of the cold, sympathized: "The gods are pitiful. I usually keep them delicious and drinkable. I thought they were different from us. I didn't expect that when something happened, everyone would still be used as a punching bag."
Huo Long tugged at his long hair and sighed: "Chongguan's anger is a red face—ah."
Inside the room, Xie Jing Xing handed the completed letter to Tie Yi, Tie Yi glanced at it and said hesitantly, "Master, if your Majesty knows about this change of plan..."
Xie Jing Xing glanced at him, Tie Yi immediately shut up and did not speak. It is definitely not a good idea to oppose the pillar's decision when the master is in a bad mood.
Xie Jing Xing put another letter into the envelope and said, "What's going on with Pei Lang, try to find out." After a pause, he said, "And Feng Zixian and Su Mingfeng." After thinking of something, he said, "How about the medicinal materials?"
Tie Yi hurriedly said: "I have already sent someone to look for it, and I will send it to the hospital immediately after I find it." Princess Rong Xin's heart disease has been frequently committed recently, and there is one medicine in the decoction recipe that is very scarce, and it is only available in the spring. . Some of the medicine in the Dingjing City Medical Center has been bought into the Princess Mansion. Princess Rongxin has no new medicine for the past few days, so she can only carry it. Xie Jing Xing asked people to secretly collect a lot of money from outside, and then "smoothly" sold it to the medical clinic.
“As soon as possible.” Xie Jing Xing pursed his lips. After thinking for a while, he stood up suddenly, put on his coat and was about to go out.
Tie Yi was stunned: "Master still going out?"
“The account is not over yet.” Xie Jing Xing snorted coldly and walked away.
…
It was already quiet outside the Shen residence and Shen Miao’s boudoir was already pitch dark, apparently she had been asleep for a long time.
When Xie Jing Xing arrived, Cong Yang was sleeping on the tree, and when he saw him coming, he almost fell down from the tree in fright. He quickly got down and stood straight to salute Xie Jing Xing.
Xie Jing Xing glanced at the window, Cong Yang said quickly, “Young Madam has already rested.”
Xie Jing walked to the window and saw a jade ring-like thing on the windowsill with a pendant underneath. Xie Jing Xing looked at Cong Yang with questioning eyes and said, “This is the Ping An pendant that Luo Ling secretly placed on the windowsill after the young lady rested, the young lady has not found it yet.”
When Xie Jing Xing heard the words, his eyes moved slightly, he picked up the peace pendant with the tip of the dagger in his sleeve, and threw it into Cong Yang's arms, saying, "Keep it."
Cong Yang was stunned when he heard Xie Jing Xing continue, "There is no pendant for pets at home."
Congyang: "… "
Cong Yang was speechless, Xie Jing Xing opened the window and entered by himself.
On the bed in the room, Shen Miao was sound asleep.
Xie Jing walked to the side of the slump, folded his chest and looked at it for a while, then raised his eyebrows and said, "I can sleep well. It seems that I didn't take my words to heart, but I'm very courageous."
He sat down on the slump, grabbed a cup of tea from the table in front of the window and took a sip, then turned to look at Shen Miao's sleeping face.
When the girl fell asleep, she did not have the usual sense of dignified and calm alienation, and she lost all kinds of cover up and showed her original appearance. In the moonlight, her eyes were delicate and tender, and she finally reminded people that she was a sixteen-year-old girl, and she couldn't ignore this because of her situation and the means she showed.
Thinking of Shen Miao's chin being pinched by him and trying to hold back her tears during the day, Xie Jing Xing felt a little guilt in his heart.
He stretched out his hand to push the messy hair on Shen Miao's forehead behind his ears, but saw that the girl's eyelashes trembled slightly. Xie Jing Xing paused and looked down to see his body wrapped in the cup trembling invisibly.
It was pretending to be asleep.
Xie Jing Xing raised his eyebrows and simply sat a little closer, put his hands on either side of Shen Miao's body, leaned over slightly, and an ambiguous magnetic voice sounded in a low voice in the room.
"I've helped you so many times, why don't you repay me with your body?"
He stared at Shen Miao's eyes and slowly leaned over.
Shen Miao's body was extremely stiff, the breathing sound seemed to be close to her mouth and the pressure from top to bottom was getting closer, she pushed Xie Jing Xing away suddenly and was about to sit up and said angrily, "What do you want to do? ?"
The voice was a little flustered.
Xie Jing Xing pushed her back to the bed again.
Shen Miao struggled uncomfortably, Xie Jing Xing subdued her disturbance a few times and said with a smile, "Do you think I would do something to you?" Then he gave her a critical look, "Thinking beautifully."
Shen Miao angrily wanted to ask Mo Qing to come in and beat Xie Jing Xing severely.
Because she only wore her middle clothes to sleep at night, she struggled with Xie Jing Xing just now, the middle clothes all slipped off, revealing her snow-white shoulders, and it seemed that she could faintly see the plum blossom apron inside. Xie Jing Xing was stunned for a while, Shen Miao found out where she was looking, she was so angry that she was extremely embarrassed and was about to scold people. Seeing that Xie Jing Xing threw the quilt abruptly and covered her head alive.
Shen Miao arched her head out of the quilt and said angrily, "I'm sick!"
Xie Jing Xing ignored her and quickly wrapped her tightly in the quilt like a silkworm chrysalis before pressing her onto the bed. Shen Miao couldn't move at all, Xie Jing Xing just looked at her with a hand on his head with a smile that was not a smile.
Shen Miao finally got tired of struggling and asked, "What are you doing here?"
“Shen Miao, please be calm.” Xie Jing Xing frowned, “With this king here, who would dare to force you to marry?”
Shen Miao laughed angrily: "You will not stay in Ming Qi for thousands of years, I will get married one day, you protect me today, but not tomorrow. If you protect tomorrow, there will always be a day to protect me. don't stop."
“What if it can be protected?” Xie Jing Xing asked.
Shen Miao was stunned and did not speak.
Xie Jing Xing said, "Do you not care about getting married, or do you simply want to get married?"
“What does that have to do with you? You have asked too many questions.” Shen Miao was brooding about Xie Jing Xing’s rudeness during the day and did not plan to talk to him properly. But after thinking about it, I don't look like a person who has become a queen, but it is like those coy little girls on the street. Thinking that she had dawdled with this person in front of her for so long, Shen Miao became very dissatisfied with herself again.
Her moody appearance fell in Xie Jing Xing's eyes, Xie Jing Xing was very inexplicable. He turned over, pressed Shen Miao under him, put one hand beside Shen Miao's head and asked in a low voice, "Who do you want to marry?"
"Luo Ling, Su Mingfeng, Feng Zixian? Or Pei Lang?"
He was getting closer and closer and his handsome features were magnified in front of Shen Miao's eyes under the moonlight. You can smell the good smell of bamboo leaves coming from the other party. His eyes are extremely beautiful, but at this time they also have an aggressive meaning, as if to force out the sincerity of people. Looking at such a pair of eyes, it seems that those hidden thoughts in my heart have nothing to hide.
Shen Miao's heart suddenly panicked.
This distance was too close, so close that she could hear the heartbeat of "bang bang bang", like the sound of a drum, but she couldn't tell whether it was her own or Xie Jing Xing's.
Not wanting to be filled with such uncontrollable emotions and do things that she did not know, Shen Miao shrank back suddenly, behind her was the bed beam, Xie Jing Xing stretched out his hand to protect her to prevent her from hitting her head.
“This has nothing to do with you.” Shen Miao said quickly, “We are only allies, allies cooperate with each other, Prince Rui still wants to control my life-long affairs, let alone marry, even in the future. Having a child, Heli, being abolished, that has nothing to do with you!"
Xie Jing Xing was quite angry when he heard her say the first half of the sentence, but when he heard the second half, he felt dumbfounded and said, "What a mess, do you really want to be a defunct queen?" I don't know how many times I heard her say this. The queen was abolished, Xie Jing Xing could not understand, could it be that Shen Miao was so unconfident in herself that she must want such a tragic ending? It doesn't look like a person with low self-esteem on weekdays.
Shen Miao was so angry that she had no choice but to say, "It has nothing to do with you! We are just allies, why do you care about my affairs?"
Xie Jing Xing stared at her, and it seemed that the anger that she had picked on him was also rising slightly. He was also a proud person, so he was disliked over and over again, not to mention how frustrated he was.
He asked, "Are you an ally?"
Shen Miao nodded.
"Allies can't take care of you?"
Shen Miao continued to nod her head.
Xie Jing Xing said cheerfully, "Okay." He quickly leaned over and pecked Shen Miao on the lips, Shen Miao was stunned for a moment, and saw the handsome young man in purple saying in an extremely vile tone, "Now he is not an ally anymore. ."
“You…” Shen Miao was speechless, and there seemed to be a little tender touch on her lips that had just touched the water.
He laughed cynically, "This way you can take care of your business." After that, he stood up from the bed, stared at Shen Miao condescendingly, and threatened, "Remember, in the future, if you marry someone, have a child, and get divorced, you will be abandoned. That requires the consent of this king."
After saying that, he glanced coldly at the window sill again and disappeared.
outside the house.
Congyang was forced to listen to the corner of the tree for a long time, and his face was red when he heard it, but he did not dare to leave. When Xie Jing Xing came out, Cong Yang bowed to him, Xie Jing Xing said, "In the future, throw away the things that someone sent." He took the Ping An pendant that Cong Yang gave him, and left with a displeased face.
