Chapter 752: Emotion (1)

The night wind was extremely cold. Xie Jingxing only brought Shen Miao to the outside of the princess's mansion. The Shen family's carriage was still waiting outside. Shen Miao wanted to speak, but even the shadow of Xie Jingxing disappeared from her side. Mo Qing and Azhi were a little surprised to see her suddenly appear at the mansion gate. Azhi asked, "Why did the young lady come out alone? Where are the others?"

As they were talking, Jingzhe and Guyu came out breathlessly. They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Shen Miao. Jingzhe said, "We were waiting outside. Aunt Yang said you were coming out, but we thought she was lying. Later, when we saw no one in the room, we came to check. To our surprise, the young lady really came out." She looked around again, confused. "But there is clearly only one room. We were guarding outside and didn't see when the young lady came out. Could there be a secret passage in the princess's mansion?"

Guyu coughed lightly to remind her not to talk nonsense. After all, this was outside the princess's mansion. Even if there really was a secret passage in the princess's mansion, it was the secret of the princess's mansion. How could they tell it so unscrupulously?

Jingzhe stuck out his tongue and glanced at Shen Miao, whose brows were furrowed and her expression was somewhat solemn. Seeing this, Jingzhe whispered, "When I went in just now, I saw that Her Royal Highness's face didn't look very good... Miss, did you and Her Royal Highness have an argument?"

Shen Miao shook her head, thinking about everything that happened in the Princess's Mansion today. She felt overwhelmed. She climbed onto the carriage first and said, "Let's go back first." If there is anything, she can think about it in detail when she returns to the Shen residence. After all, everything that happened today was really beyond her expectations.

When the carriage was about to depart, Shen Miao couldn't help but lift the curtain and look back. The pitch-black night covered everything. There was no moonlight and nothing could be seen.

She sighed softly.

But in a corner not far from the princess's mansion, the young man in purple silently watched the carriage go away.

Gao Yang's folding fan no longer waved gently, but was folded and tucked away at his waist. He looked at the handsome young man before him, his expression unusually complex. He asked, "Is it worth it?"

"There will always be this day." Xie Jingxing said indifferently.

"Don't you think it's a pity?"

Xie Jingxing raised his lips slightly. The mask covered his appearance and expression, but one could still imagine a slightly mocking, somewhat disdainful and cold expression on his face.

He said, “It’s just the end of fate.”

Gao Yang stopped talking, but after a while he shook his head and patted Xie Jingxing on the shoulder.

Several maids dressed as servants came out of the princess's mansion, holding a basket of something in their hands. They poured out the contents of the basket and threw the basket on the ground.

One of the maids lamented, "This little thing cost a lot of money. If I sold it at a pharmacy, I could have made some money. It's a shame to just throw it away like this."

"What do you know?" The maidservant beside her glared at her and said, "Who knows if this thing is poisonous? If it is, selling it will cause trouble. Okay, stop looking and go."

The two maids turned around and went back to the princess's house, leaving only a basket alone on the ground.

It was actually a medicine sent by the clinic earlier, received by chance as a medicine for Princess Rongxin's heart disease. However, it was now discarded and even suspected of being "poisonous".

Gao Yang's face showed a hint of pity. Seeing his hard work go to waste would be something that no one, no matter how magnanimous, would be happy about. He wanted to offer some words of comfort, but Xie Jingxing had already walked away.

He was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with an upright figure, walking leisurely and calmly in the night, exuding irresistible elegance.

But that back view does look a bit lonely.
