Chapter 659 They actually schemed against her
The person at the door spoke anxiously, and the people inside looked at each other.
Princess?
Song Chunxue recalled that Xie Lingyun had mentioned that they had once been in love.
"I'll be going now, you guys chat."
Since it was a message from an ex-lover, it was definitely inappropriate for her to be present.
"Don't go, I want some water."
Song Chunxue looked at him helplessly. Wasn't the servant going to give him water?
"You can stay here, it'll be fine." Xie Zheng guessed her concerns. "Senior brother, just stay with me for a day, it will hurt less when you talk."
"..." Never mind, it won't hurt for her to listen.
This person is really getting better and better at manipulating her.
When Song Chunxue poured her water, someone from outside came in.
The newcomer appeared to be a personal female attendant, dressed in luxurious clothes, with a graceful and proper demeanor, clearly the kind of temperament nurtured by considerable power and ability.
She was holding a large wooden box, and although her movements were respectful, her gaze was fixed on Song Chunxue.
"Lord Xie, the princess heard that you were injured and specially instructed me to bring you medicine and some medicinal herbs, hoping you will find them useful." The richly dressed woman bowed and handed over the box.
"Thank you, Master. It's just a minor injury, nothing serious." Xie Zheng leaned against the headboard and looked at Song Chunxue, whispering, "Could you catch this for me?"
Song Chunxue casually took it and noticed that the woman was looking her over.
"Lord Xie, my master has been keeping an eye on the matter of Xie Kuan and his son for you. Over the years, my master has always kept you in mind. Once you have recovered from your injuries in a few days, my master would like to meet you in person."
As she said this, Song Chunxue could sense that the woman was observing her reaction.
It seems that person still has Lord Xie in mind.
After many years, with the passage of time and changes, being able to see someone you once admired again and share your experiences over the years is a beautiful thing in itself.
If it were her, she would go too.
Unfortunately, Song Chunxue did not.
The boy I glimpsed in my youth is now an old farmer who can't even wash his hair twice a year. Seeing him, I can only sigh at the ruthlessness of time.
"Okay, I understand." Xie Zheng looked at Liu Chunshu standing at the door. "Please have a cup of tea before you leave, young lady."
"Thank you for your kindness, sir. I should go back and report. Please take good care of your injuries, sir. Farewell." The woman looked at Song Chunxue again, her expression clearly hostile.
Song Chunxue found it all very strange.
But it makes perfect sense.
That princess must have heard of her and her relationship with Xie Zheng.
After the woman left, Xie Zheng stared intently at Song Chunxue.
Song Chunxue placed the box in front of him, then sat on the couch in the distance, took off her shoes, and sat cross-legged to prepare for meditation.
Aren't you going to ask me anything?
Song Chunxue sat up straight, placing her hands on her knees. "I'm not curious. I'm going to start meditating."
Xie Zheng struggled to stuff a pillow behind his back.
Song Chunxue noticed his movements and stepped forward to adjust him, saying, "Why are you moving around like that? Be careful your wound doesn't reopen."
Xie Zheng looked up and stared into her eyes. "Wuyou took two arrows for me. Do you know what it means that your senior brother said Wuyou can get close to someone without your manipulation?"
Song Chunxue's eyelids twitched, and she said expressionlessly, "I don't want to know. Can you just quietly recover from your injuries? Otherwise, I'm leaving."
Xie Zheng pursed his lips, wanting to speak but unable to, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
That's true. We've finally managed to open her heart a little, so we can't push her too far.
It's good enough that she was able to stay.
Thinking of this, he smiled, leaned back on the pillow, and began to close his eyes to rest.
"You meditate, I'll do my inner meditation, I won't disturb you."
"..." Seeing how obedient he was, Song Chunxue didn't know how to describe her feelings. This person had so many tricks up his sleeve in front of her, making him seem like a stranger.
...
For three whole days, Song Chunxue meditated in Xie Zheng's room, keeping him company as he recovered from his injuries.
Even she herself felt that she had deep feelings for him.
On the fourth day, the maidservant from Princess Anyang came again, bringing an invitation and two precious ancient books for Xie Zheng.
After being rejected by Xie Zheng, the woman turned her gaze to Song Chunxue.
Song Chunxue felt wronged.
“Now that you can get out of bed, keeping the appointment is no problem. I’m going to practice my sword in the garden.” She hadn’t practiced her sword during the day for the past few days.
"I won't keep the appointment. Will you come with me to Baiyun Temple?"
Song Chunxue turned her head and said, "Then it's better to stay home and recover from your injury."
"There's news about my senior brother at Baiyun Temple. Are you sure you don't want to go?"
“…” Song Chunxue raised an eyebrow, “I’m not going.”
"Then I'll go alone. What if I encounter assassins who want to kill me on the way..."
"Oh my god." Song Chunxue smiled and said, "Junior brother, don't listen to every suggestion next time. The way you are now is just like the unreliable tricks of those spoiled brats."
Xie Zheng did not refute, "I have always envied the carefree behavior of those playboys, but I did not ask anyone for advice. It's just that when you're out and about, there are always inconveniences for bodyguards. They shouldn't be exposed. You have Wuyou, who can save my life."
He paused here, his voice softening.
"If you're not willing, then forget it."
"..." Song Chunxue clenched her fists tightly, feeling that she had been a complete idiot for crying in front of him that day, filled with self-reproach and guilt.
She's really something else. When she gets her period, her brain goes haywire. She has to feel sad and blame herself before she can be happy.
Damn it, it turns out this problem can't be cured even with spiritual practice.
However, it's normal for women to be fickle, so why is Xie Zheng acting like this even after getting injured?
In the end, Song Chunxue followed Xie Zheng to Baiyun Temple.
They sat in the carriage, facing each other, their eyes locked but not blushing; rather, they seemed to be competing.
"You still haven't answered me. What exactly did your senior brother tell you? Whose love tribulation is this?" She crossed her arms, her gaze cold and rational. "I want to go back in a few days."
“Well, it’s good that you go back first. I know you don’t like it here. You suddenly became sad and upset the other day, and even cried and said those things to me. It’s just that you miss home and your children.” He avoided the main point and lifted the curtain to look out the window. “Let’s find a place to eat first before going to Baiyun Temple. The food there is too bland.”
"Who's homesick?" Song Chunxue pressed on, mimicking his moves, "Tell me the truth, and I'll wait for you to go back together."
“What’s yours is mine too, but you don’t believe me,” Xie Zheng said calmly, looking out the window. “Wuyou is so clingy to me, which means you like me a lot, but you still won’t admit it. What else can you say?”
The carriage stopped.
He got up and was the first to disembark from the carriage.
Song Chunxue had no choice but to follow, cautiously glancing around. If he was indeed a thorn in the side of many people in the capital, she couldn't let him get into danger again.
He would rather die for the common people than die in the power struggles behind the scenes.
She led Wuyou and followed him up to the second-floor side room, only to find someone inside after they entered.
Song Chunxue instinctively tried to walk out, but it was too late.
"Thank you, Master Xie. Please have a seat."
She looked up and saw a graceful and elegant woman sitting in the center; this must be the princess.
Xie Zheng actually plotted against her.
"Xie Zheng greets the Princess." Lord Xie gestured for Song Chunxue to sit down first. "I apologize for keeping the Princess waiting."
