Chapter 1058: Jin Xingming (1)
Shen Miao didn’t say anything.
Xie Jingxing didn't let her go, just locked her in his arms.
After a long time, Shen Miao raised her head and looked at him.
Xie Jingxing also stared at her. This arrogant man, who seemed to take nothing to heart, had a cynicism in his eyes that had never changed from a naughty teenager to where he was today. But now, as he looked at her, a hint of nervousness flashed in his eyes.
Shen Miao's heart moved, and after a brief moment, she suddenly smiled.
She said, “What good is that to me?”
Xie Jingxing was stunned for a moment, a hint of ecstasy flashing in his eyes, as if he was relieved, and a little bit of disbelief. He said, "Whatever you want, I will give it to you."
“What if you want what I want too?” Shen Miao asked.
Xie Jingxing raised his eyebrows: "What do you want?"
"Thirteen Capitals of Youzhou."
“It’s yours.” He waved his hand cheerfully, as if what Shen Miao was talking about was just a trifle like rouge and powder.
“Dingyuan City in Mobei.” Shen Miao looked at his expression.
"It's yours." Xie Jingxing didn't even blink.
"Yuzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, Donghai in Dingxi, Qinghu Lake in Lin'an, and the ancient city of Luoyang."
"It's all yours!"
Xie Jingxing answered smoothly, almost without even thinking. If Emperor Yongle heard this, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood. If Emperor Xiaowu was here, he would probably be so angry that he would turn around and point at Xie Jingxing's nose and scold him as a prodigal son, and then accuse Shen Miao of the crime of being a "witch who harms the country."
But Xie Jingxing wasn't someone who cared about what others thought. Indeed, Shen Miao wouldn't really try to seize Xie Jingxing's kingdom. She simply felt that Xie Jingxing was burdened with too much, and she hoped to distract him, at least by making a little joke to make him feel a little more relaxed.
"Everything belongs to me, what do you want?" Shen Miao asked.
Xie Jingxing grabbed Shen Miao who was about to leave and said sternly, "Madam, you can't abandon me."
Outside, Congyang covered his ears, his face showing pain. However, Jingzhe, who was passing by, saw him like this and kindly stepped forward and said, "Guard Yang, why are you shaking so violently? Are you sick?" As he spoke, he reached out to touch Congyang's forehead.
Congyang was a young man after all, and he was forced to listen to a live sex scene that made his ears burn. Just when his face was flushed, he was suddenly covered by an icy little hand on his forehead. He jumped up immediately. This scared Jingzhe as well. Jingzhe looked at his hand and said, "What's wrong with me?"
Congyang gave her a look as if he had seen a ghost, then suddenly bolted forward, his back on fire. Jingzhe was left standing there in a daze. Tieyi, perched on the tree, saw everything unfold. He said nothing, looking as if he understood everything, as he sat quietly, holding his sword.
Uncle Tang walked by the tree and saw the closed door. He smacked his lips with satisfaction and went to tell the kitchen to make soup.
Over the next few days, Xie Jingxing was indeed very busy. Perhaps because Emperor Yongle's condition had worsened, many of the tasks that required personal involvement from the Lu and Ye families had to be handled by Xie Jingxing himself, and he would leave early and return late.
Xie Jingxing was busy, and Shen Miao wasn't idle either. After all, the Lu and Ye families had lived in Longye for so many years. The royal family now needed to make an example of one, but also avoid appearing too cruel, as this might cause the ministers to dissent in the future. Shen Miao was responsible for these tasks, speaking to the officials and noble ladies of Longye, while also subtly conveying some of her ideas to them.
