Chapter 746: Exposed (1)

Princess Rong Xin sent a note to Shen Miao the following afternoon. Luo Xueyan also asked Shen Xin to prepare a large number of gifts for Shen Miao to take to the Princess's residence. Because Princess Rong Xin had helped Shen Miao a lot, Luo Xueyan wanted to express her gratitude to her.

To prevent any accidents along the way, Shen Qiu brought many guards with him, and Ah Zhi and Mo Qing also followed. Despite this, Shen Miao's expression was far from relaxed throughout the journey. On the contrary, Jing Zhe and Gu Yu, who were beside her, saw this and thought that Shen Miao was worried about her safety on the road, and comforted her for a long time.

In the carriage, Shen Miao had been pondering how the Princess Mansion should respond to Princess Rong Xin's words. If Princess Rong Xin asked about Xie Jing Xing, this was the way to dispel her suspicions. However, Princess Rong Xin was a very cautious person, and once suspicions arose, it was very difficult to dispel them.

Shen Miao felt a terrible headache.

Jingzhe laughed and said, "Miss, what are you thinking about so seriously? I haven't seen you like this for a long time."

Shen Miao was slightly startled, a bit surprised. It was true that since her rebirth, relying on her knowledge of her past life's path, she had been able to move forward exceptionally smoothly. Even with the matter of Luo Xueyan, Shen Xin, and Shen Qiu, handling it wasn't particularly difficult. As for the others, she would be concerned about those who had a vested interest in her, such as Liu Ying and Pei Lang, but what did other people's affairs have to do with her? She was racking her brains to come up with excuses for Xie Jingxing, but what exactly was their relationship? Was it really necessary for her to treat him with such devotion?

Shen Miao was a little annoyed with herself, and she also knew that she had always been a person who loved to dwell on trivial matters. One voice in her heart said that this was all the trouble that Xie Jingxing had caused himself, and that Xie Jingxing should be allowed to solve it himself. Another voice in her heart was reluctant to let Xie Jingxing handle this difficult matter alone.

After all, letting Xie Jingxing reappear in front of Princess Rongxin with the additional identity of King Rui of Liang was too cruel for both Princess Rongxin and Xie Jingxing.

Before Shen Miao knew it, and before she could come up with a plan, the carriage had already arrived at the Princess's Mansion. Almost all the servants in the Princess's Mansion had a memory of Shen Miao, so they naturally welcomed her in respectfully. Shen Miao asked Mo Qing and the others to stay outside the mansion to help move the gifts for Princess Rong Xin to the storeroom. The palace maid led Shen Miao inside.

Instead, he took her directly to Princess Rongxin's bedroom.

Although Princess Rongxin was rarely seen at court and maintained a low profile, her residence was spacious and grand. However, since her husband's death, she had become a widow and had lost interest in material possessions. Consequently, her bedroom was kept simple and quiet, giving it a somewhat cold and deserted feel upon entering.

Princess Rongxin was drinking the sweet soup sent by the kitchen. When she saw Shen Miao arrive, she ordered the servants to serve her a bowl as well. She smiled and said, "This is the new cook. He is very good at making snacks and sweet soups. I don't know if you can get used to it. My food is better than the ones in the palace. You should try it too."

Shen Miao thanked Princess Rong Xin and took the bowl to taste it in small bites. She actually didn't like sweets very much, but because of Princess Rong Xin's face, she couldn't refuse. While eating, she studied Princess Rong Xin's expression.

Princess Rongxin looked much better than when they met by chance in the palace that day. Her face had become much rosier, and she seemed to be in a good mood, with a smile on her face. Shen Miao said, "The princess seems to be in much better shape."

"The clinic happened to receive a rare medicinal herb recently. The kitchen boils medicine for me every day. It's hard for me not to be in good health." Princess Rongxin sighed, "I'm really lucky. It was very difficult to find this medicinal herb in the past. I didn't expect to come across it at this time." Her tone was full of surprise.
