Chapter 1003: Wake Up (5)
Xie Jingxing carried her out like that, causing the servants of Prince Rui's mansion to look at them both. Shen Miao had never been so brazenly intimate with a man in her past or present lives. Whether in Prince Ding's mansion or in the harem, she had to maintain the airs of a queen. Even Madam Mei had never been picked up by Fu Xiuyi in front of so many people. If that were the case, then the titles of "tyrant emperor" and "female disaster" would definitely be unavoidable.
Could it be that she was a dignified and graceful queen in her previous life, and in this life she would be known as a beauty who brings disaster? Xie Jingxing does look like a tyrant. Shen Miao was lost in thought, her eyes swept over the servants who were covering their mouths and laughing secretly. She was annoyed and pinched Xie Jingxing, saying, "What are you doing? Let me down!"
"Tsk, are you shy now?" Xie Jingxing raised an eyebrow, his tone so bad that it made people want to beat him up. He said, "I don't know who was just now insulting my innocence by being so lewd in broad daylight..."
Even words like insulting innocence were used. Shen Miaozhen could only try hard to calm herself down.
Luo Tan came towards her. Luo Tan had probably never expected to see such a scene. Even though she was usually open-minded, she was still a girl after all, and she immediately felt a little uncomfortable. Shen Miao asked Xie Jingxing to put her down. Luo Tan didn't know where to look. Shen Miao asked her, "You have worked hard these days."
"It's not hard, not hard." Luo Tan waved her hands repeatedly, feeling a little scared when she saw Xie Jingxing standing aside. At the time, she was only thinking about venting her anger on Shen Miao and lashed out at Xie Jingxing, but later she regretted it. The other party was a powerful figure, and he was also the Prince Rui of Daliang. If she took her anger out on Shen Miao, she would be committing a serious crime. However, now that she saw how close Shen Miao and Xie Jingxing were, it seemed like they hadn't had a fight, and she couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
“Oh, right.” Luo Tan suddenly remembered something and took something out from his sleeve, placing it in Shen Miao’s hand. He said, “This is what Taoist Chi Yan gave me before he left. He asked me to pass it on to you, saying it’s for your farewell room.”
It was a small wooden box with a chicken and a snake carved on it. Luo Tan said, "I don't know why they drew a chicken and a snake."
Shen Miao: “…” She said: “This is the dragon and the phoenix.”
Taoist Chi Yan's carving skills were truly unimpressive. If Shen Miao hadn't understood, she wouldn't have been able to tell they were a dragon and a phoenix. Luo Tan choked as Shen Miao opened the wooden box and pulled out two red ropes.
"This..." Luo Tan said, "They're just two red ropes. What's so special about them? Why are you talking about something weird? I thought they were something valuable. It would be better to just give them a herb. This Taoist is so stingy. He clearly has a whole valley of herbs, but he wants to give this..."
Shen Miao, however, stared at the rope, her eyes flickering slightly.
In her previous life, she had received a rope from a Taoist priest. That rope had accompanied her for several years, and later passed into the hands of Xie Jingxing. Her soul had once resided within the red rope, and it was also the medium connecting her past life with Xie Jingxing.
Suddenly I felt that this red rope became somewhat familiar.
She reached out and tied the red string around her hand. Luo Tan watched her movements and asked in surprise, "You...little cousin, you're not going to wear this?"
Shen Miao looked at the red rope in her hand with satisfaction, then picked up another one and said to Xie Jingxing, "Stretch out your hand."
Xie Jingxing said: "I won't wear it."
“Stretch out your hand.” Shen Miao repeated.
Xie Jingxing looked at her in disbelief: "I am a man."
“This can keep you safe.” Shen Miao said casually, “If you wear this with me, I will know if you are in danger, and you will also feel if I am in danger.”
