Xie Jingrun tapped the table with his finger, a sharp glint flashing in his narrow eyes. "So it seems that Xiangzi is indeed the Empress's man." It seems Rong Qingqing hadn't lied to him.
This Xiangzi is really good at hiding his true intentions. He is Haifu's adopted son and has always been highly regarded by Haifu. Moreover, Xiangzi has no dealings with the Empress's side and is loyal to the Emperor. Unexpectedly, this seemingly loyal and honest Xiangzi harbors evil intentions, has developed disloyalty towards the Emperor, and has long since sided with Situ Jin.
If Rong Qingqing hadn't mentioned this person, he probably wouldn't have suspected him.
He went to see the Emperor tonight specifically to trick Xiangzi into revealing his true colors.
He hadn't expected to find out Xiangzi was up to no good tonight, but to his surprise, Xiangzi was even more impatient than he had imagined.
So tomorrow night, will Xiangzi really poison the Emperor as Rong Qingqing said?
A murderous glint flashed in his eyes.
"What should we do next?" Changlin asked for instructions.
"Keep Night Owl watching Xiangzi," Xie Jingrun said in a deep voice.
"yes!"
The next day.
Rong Qingqing slept soundly through the night without any dreams, and woke up at the crack of dawn.
She washed up, braided her long hair into a plait that hung down her back, changed into a tight-fitting dress, and went out of the house.
She has a habit of practicing yoga every night, but she was too tired yesterday so she didn't practice. Therefore, she plans to practice in the yard for a while while it's still early.
Neither Xie Jingxuan nor Xie Jingyi are early risers, so she felt at ease doing some warm-up exercises before starting yoga poses on the prepared mat.
However, what she didn't know was that Xie Jingrun had already gotten up and was standing in front of the open window, staring blankly at her doing yoga.
What is this woman wearing, and what are she doing...?
This is absolutely indecent!
A blush rose on his handsome face. He turned and went out the door, about to scold her, when he suddenly saw Xie Jingxuan across the street also open his door and come out.
His expression changed, and he quickly rushed over, kicking Xie Jingxuan back into the house with incredible speed.
"Bang!"
Xie Jingxuan was dizzy from the fall and before he could react to what had happened, he heard the open door slam shut with a bang.
Immediately afterwards, he heard the sound of the door being locked.
Xie Jingxuan: "..."
What's going on?
He pounded the floor, gritted his teeth, and got up.
What's gotten into Xie Jingrun this time?
Although Xie Jingrun moved quickly, he still saw that it was Xie who kicked him back into the house.
Thinking of this, his face turned ashen, and he rushed over to pull the door open.
"Xie Jingrun, what do you mean? Open the door right now!"
Outside, Rong Qingqing was stunned when she heard the noise, still standing with her legs raised.
She naturally saw Xie Jingrun's series of actions as well.
Is this guy having a relapse?
"It's so ugly! Put your legs down right now!" Xie Jingrun ignored the sound of Xie Jingxuan banging on the door behind him and walked towards Rong Qingqing with a stern face.
Rong Qingqing was completely bewildered. "I don't think I've bothered you, Lord Marquis, have I? So why are you meddling in my affairs?"
Xie Jingrun's gaze fell on her raised leg, paused, and then quickly looked away. "Indecent!"
Rong Qingqing put her leg down and said angrily, "How have I been immoral? Explain yourself!"
"What respectable woman would pose like this so early in the morning? Isn't that immoral and disrespectful?" Xie Jingrun frowned.
