Chapter 20 Don't force me to throw you down!
On the way back to the capital, in the carriage.
Shen Ruoli never expected that Xie Xuanyin would actually ride in the same carriage as her.
Didn't this man say he didn't want to see her?
Who cares about him!
As long as he was by her side, Shen Ruoli felt sweet inside!
Seeing Xie Xuanyin sitting at the other end of the carriage, with enough space in the middle for several people to sit, Shen Ruoli raised an eyebrow, preparing to move her buttocks over there again.
However, having learned from last night's "experience," Xie Xuanyin knew what she was thinking the moment her eyes lit up.
So he slowly picked up the sword beside him and placed it between the two of them. "Sit still and don't move."
Shen Ruoli stiffened and slowly lowered her buttocks back down.
Now, she can tell what she's going to say just by sticking her butt out!
"Your Highness, I'm cold."
Shen Ruoli immediately found a reasonable explanation.
Xie Xuanyin grabbed a blanket from the side and threw it over.
Shen Ruoli, wrapped in a blanket, said, "I'm still cold."
Xie Xuanyin frowned, took off his cloak, and threw it over.
Shen Ruoli wrapped the cloak around herself again and winked at Xie Xuanyin, "Your Highness..."
"Shut up!"
Xie Xuanyin could no longer tolerate it!
Seeing Shen Ruoli's comical appearance, looking like a "fashionable vagrant," and even pitifully winking at him, Xie Xuanyin couldn't help but twitch his lips and looked away.
"Shen Ruoli, don't force me to throw you off the carriage!"
"oh."
Seeing that he seemed genuinely unhappy, Shen Ruoli put on her cloak, grabbed a blanket, and curled up in the corner.
Thinking about it carefully, the man's sudden change in mood today was all because of those few nonsensical words Xie Xuansong uttered when they set off...
That damned Xie Xuansong!
Even though they're not around, they still manage to spoil their mood!
Shen Ruoli gritted her teeth, trembling with anger!
She squinted, mentally calculating how to get back at Xie Xuansong.
But Xie Xuanyin only thought that she was genuinely cold because of her furrowed brows and slight trembling.
After all, in her previous life, Shen Ruoli was genuinely afraid of the cold.
Her hands and feet get cold as soon as winter arrives.
Every night, several hot water bottles couldn't warm her up.
So, Xie Xuanyin went to bed first to warm the blankets for her.
After Shen Ruoli got into bed, he warmed her hands and feet.
These ordinary yet beautiful days were the kind of simple happiness that Xie Xuanyin longed for.
Unfortunately, the happy days were too short-lived.
Every day she spent by his side was purposeful!
The slight pang of heartache that had just risen in Xie Xuanyin's heart vanished without a trace in an instant!
With a cold expression, he pulled the cloak off Shen Ruoli and put it on himself.
Shen Ruoli: "???"
She was just planning how to get back at Xie Xuansong; she didn't provoke this man, did she?
Why is he angry again?
Taking advantage of the situation, she removed the sword Xie Xuanyin had placed in the middle and clung to him like a leech, even naturally helping Xie Xuanyin adjust his cloak, saying, "The weather is so cold, Your Highness should also take care to keep warm and not catch a cold!"
"Cough cough!"
As she spoke, she coughed several times at Xie Xuanyin.
Xie Xuanyin: "..."
He slapped her hand away in disgust. "Shen Ruoli, if you want to transfer your illness to me, just say so!"
Don't go to all that trouble by pretending to be "unintentional"!
"I don't!"
Shen Ruoli protested that she was innocent!
But Xie Xuanyin only pushed her hand away, not her body, so she shamelessly stayed by his side and wouldn't leave, saying, "Your Highness is so warm!"
She hugged Xie Xuanyin's arm.
That familiar, delicate fragrance once again wafted into Xie Xuanyin's nostrils!
He held his breath, his body tense!
Shen Ruoli must be carrying some kind of bewitching fragrance!
Otherwise, why would he feel unable to resist her the moment she gets close to him?
"Your Highness, do you think the Sixth Imperial Uncle and Xie Xuansong have started fighting yet?"
After a brief silence, Shen Ruoli took the initiative to start a conversation.
"What's it to you?"
Xie Xuanyin remained expressionless. "Are you worried about Xie Xuansong?"
He paused, his tone unreadable, "Sixth Imperial Uncle has practiced martial arts for many years and fought on the battlefield numerous times. He is a man of iron will! It is only right that you are worried about Xie Xuansong."
Although Xie Xuansong also knew kung fu, in Xie Xuanyin's eyes, it was nothing more than amateurish skill!
When he was a child, he and his brothers would resort to violence to resolve any disagreements they had.
A beating would solve the problem.
They remained good friends afterward.
Only Xie Xuansong...
He was extremely arrogant from a young age, and at other times extremely insecure, making him very difficult to get along with.
Therefore, his way of solving problems has never been like that of a man.
For example, he clearly coveted the position of crown prince, but he didn't dare to fight for it himself. Instead, he used women to pave the way for him!
"Yes! I am indeed worried about him!"
Shen Ruoli looked up at Xie Xuanyin with sincere eyes, "I'm worried that he wasn't beaten to death by the Prince of Zhenbei!"
Her answer surprised Xie Xuanyin slightly.
Her eyes were clean and pure, as if you could see right into the depths of her heart.
This was the first time Xie Xuanyin had truly felt this since his rebirth: Shen Ruoli had not lied!
She really wanted Xie Xuansong dead!
But why did she change like this in just a few days?
Is it because she failed to marry Xie Xuansong and was instead betrayed by both him and Song Xuerou?
At this moment, a bold guess suddenly popped into Xie Xuanyin's mind.
Could it be... that Shen Ruoli is also a reborn person?!
Otherwise, why would she seem like a completely different person?
Otherwise, why would she come to Tianzhao Temple two days in advance to pray for blessings and take the opportunity to get rid of Qingying?
Otherwise, how would she have known that the Sixth Prince had a problem?!
Thinking of this, his eyes flickered, and he looked at her with a more probing gaze. "Shen Ruoli, your maid isn't quite dead yet. Aren't you afraid that if she wakes up, she'll tell the Prince of Chu everything?"
Shen Ruoli was unaware that Xie Xuanyin had already become suspicious of her.
She said in a serious tone, "Your Highness, the person currently remaining in the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion is indeed Qingying."
"But in two days, who knows if she is Qingying or Hongying? After all, she is just a maid, and Xie Xuansong wouldn't send someone to keep an eye on her all the time, would he?"
"Are you trying to switch the beams and pillars?"
"Your Highness is wise!"
Shen Ruoli gave a thumbs-up, which was utter nonsense.
"You've got some nerve."
Xie Xuanyin sneered, "But Xie Xuansong isn't stupid either. You think you can fool him by just finding someone?"
She had already shown all her sincerity to Xie Xuanyin, yet this man still didn't trust her.
Shen Ruoli simply stopped trying to hide it!
She sat up straight. "Your Highness, there's something I might not like to hear! No one understands Xie Xuansong better than me!"
"He is indeed extremely paranoid. But once his paranoia is dispelled, he will no longer be suspicious! As for Qingying now, as long as I don't let her wake up, she will never wake up!"
The person currently remaining at the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, on the verge of death, is indeed the real Qingying.
If nothing unexpected happens, Xie Yuanxun and Xie Xuansong have now become suspicious of each other and have broken off all ties.
Xie Xuansong is so smart, he will definitely suspect that Qingying told Xie Yuanxun everything!
He must have wanted to kill Qingying to vent his anger, but Qingying was still useful, so he had no choice but to keep her alive!
Therefore, only after he believed that the person was Qingying could Shen Ruoli's real plan officially begin!
She wanted to repay him tenfold for everything he had done to her!
Her brother had already prepared everything for her afterward...
