Shen Miao lit a lamp at night and wanted to clean up the books that Shen Qiu sent during the day. Shen Qiu always felt that she liked to read books, and these days, she was thinking about her upcoming marriage, and asked people to find some isolated books. Some of these solitary books record some important events of the previous dynasty, while others are books of romantic words. Shen Miao planned to pick out the book and give it to Luo Tan and Feng Anning, those books from the previous dynasty could be kept and maybe they could be used in the future.
While cleaning up, she suddenly heard movement outside the window. She was not used to being served at night, and Jing Zhe and Gu Yu would leave early on weekdays. Looking up at the window, there was no one there, after thinking for a while, Shen Miao opened the door and walked into the courtyard to see.
She is not afraid of being a bad person. After all, there is another Cong Yang in this yard. He is really a bad person. Cong Yang has already taken action. Unexpectedly, Fang walked into the yard and saw a person standing under the tree. She was stunned for a moment and took two steps forward with the lantern, and she found out that it was Xie Jing Xing.
Xie Jing Xing did not wear his purple robe, but changed into black clothes. When he was wearing purple clothes, he was a noble son of the world, but when he was wearing black clothes, he had a cold and chilling aura. It was just that the lazy smile on his face was the same as before, watching Shen Miao walk forward.
Shen Miao felt that something was wrong with Xie Jing Xing, but she could not say what was wrong, she stood beside Xie Jing Xing and asked, "Why are you standing here?"
If it was in the past, Xie Jing Xing might have entered the room uninvited long ago to drink tea in her room.
Xie Jing Xing twitched his lips and smiled, before Shen Miao could speak, Xie Jing Xing suddenly fell towards her.
Shen Miao subconsciously supported him, but she felt a large wet mass behind him, and when she saw the faint light of the lantern beside her, it was a shockingly large bloodstain. Because it was too cold inside and outside in winter, the sense of smell was not very sensitive, and Xie Jing Xing could smell the strong smell of blood when he fell on top of her.
Shen Miao whispered, "Cong Yang!"
There was no one around to answer, and it seemed that Cong Yang was not there.
Shen Miao was anxious in her heart, and at this anxious moment, it happened that Congyang disappeared at this time. She did not dare to disturb others, Xie Jing Xing rolled back from nowhere. She dragged Xie Jing Xing back to her room and let Xie Jing Xing sleep on her couch, so she wanted to invite a doctor over.
She was about to leave, but Xie Jing Xing seemed to wake up for a moment and said, "Don't call anyone."
Shen Miao was stunned for a moment, then squatted down beside him and asked, "What about your injury?"
Xie Jing Xing laboriously took out what looked like a medicine bottle from his arms, before Shen Miao could continue to ask questions, he fainted again.
Shen Miao made a decision in just a split second, there was still some hot water in the room, that was for her to wash her hands at night. She brought the hot water over and found a clean handkerchief to moisten it with water, hesitated for a while, and then slowly unbuttoned Xie Jing Xing's clothes.
Under the lights, the young man's body was well-proportioned and slender, and seemed to contain strength. Shen Miao's face was inexplicably hot, she tried to make herself move faster.
However, Xie Jing Xing's clothes were stained with large tracts of blood, the coagulated blood adhered to the flesh and was blown by the cold wind outside and almost merged with the whole person. Every time Shen Miao tugged, Xie Jing Xing would frown slightly, as if he felt uncomfortable even in a coma.
Helpless, he had to find a pair of silver scissors, set the fire on fire, and carefully cut his clothes for him.
It was not that Shen Miao had never seen a man’s body, taking Fu Ming as an example, she had seen it many times, but this was different from facing Xie Jing Xing, especially now that she did not even call Jing Zhe Gu Yu to protect Xie Jing Xing , picking up Xie Jing Xing's clothes alone, it was inevitable that he would be a little embarrassed.
But soon, the embarrassment on her face disappeared, replaced by a solemn expression.
There were many stab wounds on Xie Jing Xing’s body, these stab wounds were not too deep, but there were also many indiscriminately, although they were not fatal, Shen Miao also knew that with so many stab wounds, the blood alone could drain a person. She did not dare to be vague at the moment, she immediately wiped the blood around Xie Jing Xing with a handkerchief dipped in hot water, then took out the medicine powder from the medicine bottle and sprinkled on it, after searching for a long time, Shen Miao could not find a clean cloth. He had to take out a new piece of cloth that he had made to bind his chest and bandage Xie Jing Xing's wound. Shen Miao herself had not bandaged anyone, but she had seen Shen Qiu's soldiers doing this before, so they also followed the gourd, although it was a bit ugly, the blood had stopped in the end.
She also found a few pills for nourishing qi and blood from the cabinet, which were bought for her by Luo Tan. She said that when a woman's menstrual period came, she was not looking good, and eating this would make her look good, although Xie Jing Xing was not on her menstrual period, However, a lot of blood was also shed, and this should be able to make up for it. Shen Miao smashed the pills and soaked them in hot water before feeding them to Xie Jing Xing to drink.
After everything was done, the night was as deep as a thick fog that could not be dissolved, and even the ravings of animals could not be heard outside. Xie Jing Xing lay down on her bed with his upper body half naked, with Shen Miao's corset wrapped around three layers of his body, no matter how he looked at it, it was strange.
Shen Miao twitched the corners of her mouth and planned to turn Xie Jing Xing over and check to see if there were any other wounds on his body.
Xie Jing Xing's clothes were wet and his trousers were dry, so Shen Miao did not suspect that he was only injured in the waist, abdomen and back. When she flipped Xie Jing Xing, her hand accidentally touched Xie Jing Xing's thigh, Shen Miao was about to withdraw her hand as if burned by fire, but suddenly felt something was wrong.
The skin under his hands is hard, not as delicate as other, uninjured skins, but like a thick scab. She moved in her heart and subconsciously lifted Xie Jing Xing's trousers slightly, but saw a terrifying scar spreading deep into Xie Jing Xing's lower abdomen.
This was different from the scars that Xie Jing Xing added today, those scars that were scattered all over the place. Although the scars today were numerous, they were not deep and therefore were not fatal. The current one, however, is tortuous and the scar is very heavy. It is obviously an old wound from the past, but after so long, there are still such deep marks, which shows that the bone was deeply visible when the injury was started, which is shocking.
When Xie Jing Xing was in Ming Qi, he never heard of any injuries. Could it be that he was injured in Great Liang? Shen Miao was suspicious in her heart, but found that there were other wounds, big and small, with deep bones. Even though the wound has healed, it also made people feel surprised, how did Xie Jing Xing get through so many life and death calamities
She never found out that she had touched Xie Jing Xing's leg and wanted to touch down, but the person on the bed groaned and grabbed her wrist, Shen Miao's face turned red with a "surge", she thought Xie Jing Xing thought When she woke up, she misunderstood that she was eating tofu, and subconsciously went to see Xie Jing Xing, but saw Xie Jing Xing frowning tightly and pursing his lips, but his eyes had not opened, as if he had not woken up yet.
Shen Miao breathed a sigh of relief, although she still had doubts about those scars, she did not dare to touch it down, all the clothes on Xie Jing Xing’s top were shredded by her, and Shen Miao had to take a piece of clothes that she had grown bigger. Chang put on Xie Jing Xing and covered him tightly. Afraid that Xie Jing Xing would heat up at night before his wound was healed, he moved a stool and sat in front of the couch to guard.
I don't know when I fell asleep.
The morning light was faint and the rooster crowed suddenly. When Shen Miao woke up, she found that she had already slept on the couch with a thick quilt covering her body. She clearly remembered that she was sitting in front of the couch and guarding Xie Jing Xing last night, but she did not expect that she He fell asleep halfway through. She was so tired that she didn't even know she was moved to another place.
She subconsciously stood up and saw that the room was empty and there was no figure of Xie Jing Xing, she was stunned for a moment and heard a smiling voice from behind: "Look for me?"
Xie Jing Xing came over wearing a wide middle coat, he didn’t know where he got the middle clothes, he thought it was Fang who had washed it and some water droplets slipped down his chin to the depths of his clothes, Shen Miao looked at him in surprise, Xie Jing Xing yesterday I was injured and unconscious, but now it seems that I am refreshed. Where can I see the precarious appearance of yesterday
She asked, "Are you okay?"
Xie Jing Xing smiled, "Of course."
Shen Miao nodded, "Sure enough, the Qi supplement pill is effective, cousin didn't lie to me?"
“Qi supplement pill?” Xie Jing Xing frowned, “What is it?”
“Women are used to replenish qi and blood,” Shen Miao said without changing her face, “When a woman comes to Sunflower Water, she will take a pill and her body will not be so weak. I saw you bleed a lot last night, and I thought it was because of your qi and blood. If it’s empty, I’ll give you three pills.” She smiled and looked at Xie Jing Xing and said, “It seems that it’s all due to your recovery so quickly.”
Xie Jing Xing's smile froze.
Shen Miao couldn't help laughing when she saw him slumped. The next moment, he couldn't laugh anymore, only Xie Jing Xing said leisurely, "Oh, since this is the case, it is the reward for touching me last night."
Seeing Shen Miao stunned, Xie Jing Xing smiled ambiguous: "Last night, someone didn't know where they were touching..."
Shen Miao's complexion turned from white to blue, and said angrily, "Are you awake?"
"I can't speak, but my mind is still awake." Xie Jing walked to the table and sat down. After he was groomed, he seemed more and more natural as in his own house. He heated another pot of tea and poured himself a cup, and looked at Shen Miao with a smile.
Shen Miao hesitated for a while, stood still and asked, "What is the matter with your injury? What happened yesterday?"
“I will do things for you.” Xie Jing Xing said lightly, “I won’t go to a place like Prince Ding’s mansion next time.” He stretched his waist and said, “Fu Xiu Yi has so many tricks, even I can’t bear it.”
“You went to Prince Ding’s mansion?” Shen Miao widened her eyes, “You went to the dungeon of Prince Ding’s mansion?”
Xie Jing Xing's eyes flashed: "You know a lot about Prince Ding's mansion, and you also know that there is a dungeon." He said, "Yes, I went for a stroll last night and came out to rescue 'your' Mr. Pei."
Shen Miao looked at him blankly.
She did not expect that Xie Jing Xing would personally save people, Xie Jing Xing's identity was sensitive and Fu Xiu Yi was definitely not someone to fool, once Fu Xiu Yi found out, Xie Jing Xing would inevitably have a lot of trouble. Shen Miao asked Xie Jing Xing for help because she knew that Xie Jing Xing was surrounded by many capable people, but she did not expect that Xie Jing Xing would risk her own life.
Shen Miao couldn't tell what it was like in her heart, but if it was Prince Ding's residence, Xie Jing Xing's injury would be justified.
Fu Xiu Yi was a very cautious and suspicious person, because he himself had made numerous enemies, so Prince Ding’s residence was usually as impenetrable as a copper wall. As for the dungeon in Prince Ding's mansion, the prisoners in it are all prisoners that Fu Xiu Yi thinks are very important, and most of them are spies sent by the enemy or others. The dungeon, as the place where many secret characters are hidden in Prince Ding's mansion, is the most important thing. . It could be said that Fu Xiu Yi spent much more effort on protecting the dungeon than the entire Ding Palace.
Under such circumstances, Xie Jing Xing broke into the dungeon alone and had to rescue someone, it was not easy to be alive.
Seeing Shen Miao in a daze, Xie Jing Xing tilted his head, looked at her suspiciously, and asked, "Why don't you ask your Mr. Pei's life or death?"
Shen Miao returned to her senses: "Is he still alive?"
“Live well.” Xie Jing Xing raised his eyebrows, “Not a single spark.”
Shen Miao caught the words in his words and asked, "Fire?"
"I set fire to the dungeon of Prince Ding's mansion." Xie Jingxing said, "Cut the grass and remove the roots."
Shen Miao sucked in a breath of cold air, if the dungeon of Prince Ding's mansion was set on fire, then it is not surprising that Fu Xiu Yi wanted to kill all those who set it on fire. Most of the people in the dungeon had secrets that Fu Xiu Yi wanted to know. With Xie Jing Xing's fire, those secrets could never be known by Fu Xiu Yi. Fu Xiu Yi lost so much, how could he easily spare Xie Jing Xing.
At this time, Shen Miao could not help but admire Xie Jing Xing. She thought that she was brave enough to do these things only by relying on the memory of her previous life, but Xie Jing Xing could always do whatever he wanted, even if he stabbed a hole in the sky, he still thought that the sky was not strong enough.
Shen Miao was silent and asked, "He is in Prince Rui's mansion now?"
Xie Jingxing said, "Gao Yang is treating him."
Shen Miao sounded a little strange, Gao Yang was treating Pei Lang, why did Xie Jing Xing not let Gao Yang treat him, instead he ran to her yard with his injuries, did Xie Jing Xing think that her medical skills were better than Gao Yang
But at the moment she still has a problem she wants to figure out, after watching Xie Jing Xing for a while, Xie Jing Xing smiled, "Look at what I do, I really wasn't so kind, if it weren't for you..."
“How did your injury come from?” Shen Miao interrupted him.
“There are many guards in Prince Ding’s residence, and there are Fu Xiu Yi’s dead men in the dungeon.” Xie Jing Xing rarely explained to her, “It’s inconvenient for there to be too many people, so we can only go in alone.”
“It’s not this.” Shen Miao paused for a while before asking, “Your old wounds, those that seem to be deep, were the wounds you suffered in Great Liang?”
Xie Jing Xing was startled and did not speak.
“Ming Qi has never heard the news that your life was in danger,” Shen Miao said, “But it also seems to be an injury from old age, how did it come about?”
“Do you care about me?” Xie Jing Xing glanced at her with a half-smile but not a smile, “It’s okay to not mention the trivial matters.”
“I want to know.” Shen Miao lowered her eyes, “Even if it is to prepare for going to Great Liang. You can’t let me face a complete stranger and place unprepared.”
This reason was high-sounding, but Shen Miao knew that she really wanted to know where those injuries came from and it had nothing to do with it.
Apart from the hatred in the previous life, Xie Jing Xing already knew her very well, but from Shen Miao's point of view, she did not understand much about Xie Jing Xing. In the past, she was very afraid of knowing, the more dangerous a person Xie Jing Xing knew, the more dangerous he would be, but now, she wanted to take the initiative to know about Xie Jing Xing.
Xie Jing Xing looked at the tea in front of him and smiled, “Injured in Northern Xinjiang.”
Shen Miao suddenly raised her head.
Xie Jing Xing said indifferently, “There is a Tian family in the Xie family army. When I went to Northern Xinjiang, because the plan changed, I returned to Great Liang in advance to restore my identity. However, it is also true that there was an ambush in the Xie family army.”
"Beijiang and Tianjia should cooperate with each other and set up a bureau, which was originally aimed at Xie Ding, but because of my order to ask for a commander, it was changed to deal with me. I took precautions that day, but I didn't expect that the close confidant of the Marquis of Lin'an was the emperor. He plotted against me. Although the Mo Yu Army of Great Liang secretly responded, I was also seriously injured. The emperor sent someone to take care of the plan, and the emperor thought that the plan was accomplished. In fact, I was taken back to Great Liang to recover from my injuries, and it took half a year. Only then can you get out of bed and walk around.” He looked at Shen Miao and smiled disapprovingly, “Accurately speaking, it was the injury suffered by Ming Qi.”
There was a huge wave in Shen Miao's heart, but she woke up in an instant.
She just said how could Xie Jing Xing get hurt? I see!
There are many things that have changed in the past life and this life, and the two fathers and sons of the Xie family are one of them. In the previous life, the Marquis of Lin'an, Xie Ding, went to war first, and was defeated and died. Then, the Marquis of Lin'an's mansion declined. Xie Jing Xing took the orders of the royal generals and attacked again, but he also got the end of ten thousand arrows. Not to mention whether Xie Jing Xing had faked death in his previous life, one thing is certain, the Xie family and their son died in battle at the same time, this was the ending that the Fu family had planned for the Marquis of Lin'an!
Due to some changes in this life, Xie Jing Xing did not know why he changed his mind and set off ahead of schedule. The emperor was supposed to deal with the Marquis of Lin'an, so he took the opportunity to change it to Xie Jing Xing. Xie Jing Xing was dead, I didn't expect that the Marquis of Lin'an would not recover, but it made the royal family not have to make another move.
In this way, it was exactly what Xie Jing Xing said to Su Ming Feng, "Ming Qi did not nurture me, only obliterated me".
Ming Qi really had nothing to do with Xie Jing Xing. After all, the Marquis of Lin'an has also made great contributions to the Ming Qi's Jiangshan, but all the birds are hiding. Although Shen Miao knew early on that the fall of the Marquis of Lin'an Mansion in her previous life was inextricably linked to the royal family, it was different when she heard Xie Jing Xing say it with her own ears.
If even Xie Ding's cronies were spies sent by the royal family, then almost every move of the Marquis of Lin'an was under the watchful eyes of Emperor Wen Hui. So Xie Jing Xing never got close to Xie Ding since he was a child, maybe even though he wasn't sure who the spy was, he also knew that the royal family never left the Marquis of Lin'an Mansion.
Perhaps even the Fang family and Xie Changchao and Xie Changwu were secretly controlled by Emperor Wen Hui's people, but now that Xie Changchao and Xie Changwu are dead, the Fang family has almost collapsed, and the Marquis of Lin'an has no successor. He has other thoughts about the Marquis of Lin'an.
Shen Miao looked at Xie Jing Xing again, but in her heart there was the happiness of the rest of her life.
Xie Jing Xing's life in Ming Qi was indeed not as good as Su Mingfeng imagined. Perhaps when Great Liang sent Xie Jing Xing over, he was interested in the status of the Marquis of Lin'an, thinking of Princess Yuqing's sudden death, the Marquis of Lin'an would love this son even more. However, he did not expect that there were many crises hidden in this seemingly flowery marquis mansion, Xie Jing Xing living in the Lin'an marquis mansion might not necessarily be happier than living in an ordinary family. On the contrary, even at a young age, he has been forced to accept a life that many adults have difficulty adjusting to.
Intrigue, intrigue, hypocrisy between the royal family, and hidden murderous intentions in harmony.
If there were no people from Great Liang to support him on the Northern Frontier battlefield, or if the time card was slower, Xie Jing Xing now would really only have a handful of loess left.
Xie Jing Xing looked at Shen Miao's expression, although he tried his best to remain calm, there was still some ups and downs in his breathing. He raised his lips and smiled, reached over the table and touched her head, and said, "What are you afraid of, when it comes to Great Liang, with me here, who would dare to touch you?"
“Great Liang also has an imperial family.” Shen Miao always felt that things were not that simple.
Xie Jing Xing disagreed: "I am also the royal family." He retracted his hand and said nonchalantly, "You don't need to be afraid of anyone except the royal brother. Even if you see the royal brother and really anger him, tell me, I will keep you safe. "
“Great Liang is my territory, whoever dares to bully you will do it against the world.” Xie Jing Xing said, “Don’t mention these embarrassing things about Ming Qi in the future, it will hurt your self-esteem.”
He laughed and teased, but Shen Miao felt slightly sad.
Where is the self-esteem injury? It's just that the past days are not too happy, so I simply don't mention it. After the hardships, the nobles and grandchildren who should have enjoyed the innocence and carefree life lived like ants under the crushing power of other countries.
After speaking a few more words, the sky was bright and Xie Jing Xing left when Jing Zhe and Gu Yu were about to come over to wake Shen Miao up.
After Xie Jing Xing left, Cong Yang appeared out of nowhere. Shen Miao stared at him and asked, "Why were you not here last night?"
Xie Jing Xing was injured last night, when he was in such a critical situation, Cong Yang disappeared from nowhere, and when he came out, everyone left.
Cong Yang's apologetic voice came: "Young madam, it's really unfortunate, I had a task yesterday, and my subordinate thought that I would be back soon, but who knows that there will be a delay in the middle, when I come back, it is already the second day. It's morning." His expression was annoyed and sincere, and he asked, "Does the young lady have something to order?"
“It’s nothing.” Shen Miao waved her hands and closed the window and left.
Jumping from Yang Yi jumped back to the tree, feeling very aggrieved. Last night, his master told him not to make a sound, so Congyang had to squat on a tree all night without even covering a blanket. I don't know what the master and the young lady are doing in the house. Then I thought about it, the master was slightly injured, but he still had to rush back to the Shen residence all the way. Gao Yang wanted to stop the bleeding for the master. The lady is distressed.
Take pity on yourself, blowing the cold wind all night, and being blamed by the young lady, and the master didn't give any reward, why doesn't he feel sorry for him
At the other end, Xie Jing Xing was walking on the way to Prince Rui's residence.
Congyang has already remodeled the houses from Prince Rui's mansion to Shen's mansion. There are no walls between the mansion and the mansion, and it almost forms a continuous compound with several entrances.
In the deep winter, the wind was cold and dew was heavy, and he only casually wore a black cloak on the outside of his baggy middle coat. Black and white collided deeply, making his face pale.
He didn't wear a mask, and his expression was not as relaxed as usual. His beautiful, always curved peach blossom eyes were of a cold and sombre color, with a hint of coldness.
To Shen Miao, he still lied after all.
Those vertical and horizontal wounds, in addition to the northern border, are also in the Great Liang.
Of course, the wound in the northern Xinjiang was due to a knife from the deputy general of Xie Ding, whom Xie Ding trusted the most. The knife was deep in the bones, and during the half year he was recuperating in Great Liang, he was told that this hurdle could not be said several times. In the end, Gao Yang tried his best to save him from the King of Hell. Gao Yang said, if the knife at that time was a little bit more off, or if he was sent to Gao Yang a little later, this life would not be saved. came back.
No one knew the news of his injury except Gao Yang, Emperor Yongle, and his cronies. When he reappeared in front of the courtiers of Great Liang, he was still Prince Rui, who was elegantly dressed and handsome.
It's just that in the royal family, it is not easy for a prince to suddenly appear again. Even if Emperor Yongle suppressed it with the majesty of the emperor, everything in this world was related to interests. The appearance of Prince Rui's identity will cause some people to lose their interests. Therefore, plotting, sneak attack, assassination, conspiracy, and conspiracy emerge in an endless stream, and the methods are tricky and difficult to discern.
It's not that there is no moment of life and death, and when the danger is on the line, he also suffered a lot of injuries. The struggle in Great Liang was more dangerous than in Ming Qi. In Ming Qi, his identity was hidden, and the royal family dealt with the entire Marquis of Lin'an, not him. In Great Liang, all of his dangers came from the title of Prince Rui, and the dark arrows, big and small, all wanted his life.
And every time, after a profound crisis, the one who appeared on the court the next day was still a smiling and lazy Prince Rui. In the long run, in the hearts of everyone, Prince Rui was a terrifying enemy with deep scheming and ruthless skills. They no longer acted rashly, they respected and feared him, and in their hearts, they wished that Prince Rui would die instead of his life, but on their faces they had to nod and bow to Prince Rui.
That was what Xie Jing Xing desperately earned.
It took him two years to secure his identity as Prince Rui of Great Liang, and no one dared to doubt him, provoke him, or plot against him. Those fighting in the snowy night, the traps in the courtroom, were like the black robes of last night, which were cut into pieces together.
Those who stand in the sun are always noble, elegant and spotless people.
Shen Miao said, "Even if it is to prepare for going to Great Liang. You can't let me face a complete stranger and place unprepared."
On this winter morning, Xie Jing Xing walked slowly, his blue boots stepped on the snow, making a rustling sound, and ice crystals swayed on the tree, like hanging gems.
A slow smile appeared on his lips.
What is there to prepare for
Anyway, before that, he will clear up all the troubles for her.
