Chapter 234: Unbearable (6)
Xie Jingxing didn't bother to pay attention to him and searched around for other things.
Meanwhile, Shen Miao, holding a torch, walked quietly through the dark secret passage. Compared to her usual slow pace, this time she seemed much more hurried. The reason was simple: she didn't know when Shen Qiu would come, and before he did, she had to get the thing.
This secret room in Prince Yu's mansion was originally discovered by Fu Xiuyi. She accidentally overheard a conversation between Fu Xiuyi and Pei Lang. At the time, Pei Lang had copied a painting of Liu Yuan's Night Banquet and told Fu Xiuyi that the mechanism in Prince Yu's mansion's secret room was located on the lapel of the main character in the painting. At the time, Pei Lang also said, "The thing is in the secret room. Your Majesty, please take a look."
What exactly that "thing" was, Shen Miao didn't know, but from the tone of Pei Lang and Fu Xiuyi at the time, it seemed that that "thing" must be very important to Fu Xiuyi. When Shen Miao talked to the Chen brothers about the extermination of the family, in addition to leaving no future troubles, it was also for this matter.
If the clan was not wiped out and the people in Prince Yu's mansion were left, perhaps someone would know the secret of the secret room. If they discovered her actions, it would cause trouble. Now that everyone in Prince Yu's mansion is dead, this secret must have not been discovered for the time being. After all, when Fu Xiuyi knew about this in his previous life, he had already ascended the throne.
As long as that "thing" is very important to Fu Xiuyi, or is beneficial to him, it must not be obtained by Fu Xiuyi. Either it must be destroyed or given to Fu Xiuyi's enemies. At least with this "thing", he will have an extra bargaining chip when dealing with Fu Xiuyi in the future.
This was the reason why she followed Chen Qiu to the Prince's Mansion today.
Shen Miao stroked the wall of the secret room and walked inside. The secret room was winding and endless, and it was much longer than she had imagined. After turning another corner, the view in front of her suddenly opened up, as if she had suddenly entered a spacious main hall from a narrow corridor. Rows of torches hung on the stone walls, illuminating the entire cavern with a brilliant light.
In the cave, a coffin was lying, and in front of the coffin, there were two people standing.
Before Shen Miao could move, she heard one of them shout sternly, “Who is it?”
The voice was very familiar. Before she could even distinguish it, she saw two figures suddenly turn their heads in the bright firelight, revealing two familiar faces.
Xie Jingxing, Gaoyang.
How did Xie Jingxing come here? Gao Yang is not from the Imperial Hospital, so how could he be involved with Xie Jingxing?
Even someone as calm as Chen Miao was stunned. Following the stunned state, his mind was instantly in a state of confusion. Those earlier doubts swirled and took root in his mind, but it was as if he suddenly found a way out. In a flash, it seemed as if something was about to break through the air.
"Chen Miao!" Gao Yang's eyes were also surprised, but he then looked at Xie Jingxing and said, "Do it!"
Shen Miao's eyes widened, and she felt the world spinning. Before she could even see the figure passing by, she was shoved hard, her back slamming against the stone wall behind her. She gasped in pain. Immediately afterwards, a slender hand grasped her throat, and Xie Jingxing's handsome face was within reach.
Xie Jingxing almost pressed Shen Miao's entire body into the stone wall. His cold clothes touched Shen Miao's face, and his hands were also cold. His eyebrows and eyes were clearly as bright and dazzling as the scorching sun, and the curve of his lips was intoxicating, but his eyes were sober and almost cold.
"Chen Miao cannot be left behind." Gao Yang said quickly, "This is a matter of great importance. It's her bad luck that she died here today. If we leave her body here, let's get out and no one will find her. Xie San, don't be soft-hearted, do it!"
Shen Miao looked towards Xie Jing Xing. The hand holding her neck was long and beautiful, yet fierce and fierce, holding it tightly without loosening.
The purple-robed youth's eyebrows and eyes were even more vivid under the light, and every stroke of his brush was like a spirit walking out of a painting. The more attractive his appearance, the crueler his smile, as if it were a cat catching a mouse. However, what was revealed in his eyes was absolute indifference and murderous intent.
He really wanted to kill him.
Shen Miao stared at her motionlessly, her pair of clear eyes brighter than the stream water after the first snow melts in spring. There was no sadness or joy in them, and it seemed that they could reflect a person's life.
Xie Jingxing's eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly raised his lips to smile, and his other hand gently covered Shen Miao's eyes. He lowered his head slightly, leaned close to Shen Miao's ear, and whispered softly, as if whispering to a lover.
"Don't look at me, I won't be able to bear it."
