Chapter 512 Invitation (1)
Shen Miao was slightly startled, then raised her eyes to look at Xie Jingxing. Xie Jingxing was like no one in Mingqi, and he was incredibly familiar with the place. Of course he was familiar with it, having lived in Dingjing City since childhood, and he knew every corner of Dingjing by heart. With the Fengxian Pawnshop as a post station for buying and selling information behind him, Xie Jingxing's spies might even be inferior to Fu Xiuyi.
Whatever he wants to know, he will naturally know.
"What does this have to do with you?" Shen Miao said unhappily, "Your Highness Prince Rui still has the time to worry about other people's family affairs?"
"Household affairs?" Xie Jingxing raised an eyebrow, as if he thought the term was quite good, and said, "You seem to be very afraid of a woman named Chang."
A hint of coldness flashed across Shen Miao's eyes, and she said, "A relative who has come to seek refuge, what is there to be afraid of?"
"No." Xie Jingxing stroked his chin and glanced at her. Suddenly, he leaned forward and looked closely into Shen Miao's eyes. He didn't feel it was inappropriate to be so close. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "A woman from Liuzhou. You've never been to Liuzhou, so why do you seem to know her so well?"
Shen Miao suddenly raised her eyes, and in doing so, she met Xie Jingxing's gaze. The young man's appearance was as captivating as ever, but within his peach blossom eyes lay the sharpest blade. He said, "The same goes for Princess Ming'an. You've never been to Qin, yet you harbor a deep resentment towards her."
Shen Miao remained silent, her posture clearly intimate and somewhat ambiguous, but her eyes gradually grew colder.
"You have lived in Dingjing since you were a child. The farthest place you have been to is Xiaochun City. In the two years in Xiaochun City, you have not set foot anywhere else. It is impossible for you to go to Liuzhou, and it is impossible for you to meet the Princess of Qin." His voice floated from the night, carrying a faint chill of early winter, almost seeping into people's hearts.
“What do you want to say?” Shen Miao looked at him.
He spoke softly, his voice elegant and mellow, seductive yet heart-pounding. He said, "Are you Shen Miao?"
For a moment, a layer of fine pimples appeared all over Shen Miao's body. It was as if a thin, cold wind was blowing down from the top of her head, making her feel cold in an instant. She had seen many people, but relying on her experience as a queen in her previous life, those people were just a series of masks in front of her, white faces, red faces, and everything else. But only this cynical-looking young man in purple robes in front of her was a living person.
Because it is unclear what kind of face is under the mask.
Shen Miao's impression of Xie Jingxing was that he was just a handsome young man who died young in his previous life. In this life, she learned that he was unfathomable, and now she finds him even more terrifying. What she did was indeed suspicious, but Xie Jing actually doubted whether she was Shen Miao.
She wasn't Shen Miao, she was Empress Shen. Xie Jingxing dared to think, and his thoughts were somewhat close to the truth. The discomfort of having her secrets revealed made Shen Miao panic for a moment. But she did nothing, just staring at Xie Jingxing's face, and finally smiled softly.
She often smiled, a dignified, gentle smile that seemed to show she didn't care about anything. However, when she faced Xie Jingxing, she often smiled with innuendo, a cold smile that was neither real nor fake. This smile now seemed like a magnolia flower blooming at night, with a faint fragrance, and it came towards him in a completely harmless and coquettish manner.
But that smile was only fleeting. Her expression quickly turned cold as she said, "Not everyone in this world is like His Royal Highness Prince Rui."
Xie Jingxing's playful smile froze slightly.
Whether Shen Miao was still Shen Miao or not was unclear, but Xie Jingxing was no longer Xie Jingxing. Young Marquis Xie of the Lin'an Marquisate was now Prince Rui. Was this the same person? Perhaps others would find it strange, since Xie Jingxing had no connection to Daliang before.
