Chapter 734 Bed Bang (1)
"Xie Jingxing?"
Shen Miao and Xie Jing Xing suddenly turned around, only to see a person stumbling out of the bushes. When he got closer, Shen Miao couldn't help but stiffen, subconsciously looking at Xie Jing Xing's expression. However, because Xie Jing Xing was wearing a mask, she couldn't see anything.
That person is Princess Rongxin.
Princess Rongxin had originally intended to take a shortcut, but when she arrived at this place, she vaguely saw Shen Miao being pulled over by a strange man. Princess Rongxin quickly asked the palace maids to wait outside and followed them. If others saw Shen Miao with a strange man, it would probably lead to rumors.
Princess Rongxin trusted Shen Miao's character. However, she had just noticed that Shen Miao seemed reluctant, and she was afraid that Shen Miao had been entangled by a prince in the palace, or had gotten into some trouble. She wanted to help Shen Miao out, but she didn't want to rush forward to avoid a misunderstanding.
At first, she was far away and couldn't hear clearly what the two were saying. Later, she saw that Shen Miao seemed to be about to cry, so she walked forward anxiously and happened to hear Shen Miao say, "Xie Jingxing, don't go too far."
Princess Rongxin screamed out loud.
But when the tall and straight figure turned around, it turned out to be a strange young man with a half-silver mask on his face. He nodded slightly at her.
Princess Rongxin stepped forward quickly and only then saw that the man was Prince Rui.
Princess Rongxin, a princess herself, had met Prince Rui from Daliang when he first arrived in Mingqi. However, she had never paid much attention to court affairs and had never deliberately inquired about them. Seeing that this man was Prince Rui, she felt a strange feeling in her heart.
But when Shen Miao said "Xie Jingxing" just now, she was indeed referring to Xie Jingxing. She did not hear it wrongly.
Princess Rongxin looked at Shen Miao questioningly and asked, “Miss Shen, just now you were calling His Royal Highness Prince Rui…Xie Jingxing?”
Before Shen Miao could speak, Prince Rui took the initiative to speak. He said, "My name is Xie Yuan, and my nickname is Jingxing. Miss Shen just called me by my nickname."
Shen Miao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Xie Jingxing's reaction was very quick at this moment, and he always found an excuse to get away with it. But when she saw Princess Rongxin's strange expression, she suddenly realized what was going on and cursed Xie Jingxing in her heart.
Apart from relatives, only wives or lovers would call each other by their nicknames. She called Xie Jingxing by his nickname, and who knew what Princess Rongxin would think of her!
Xie Jingxing must have done it on purpose!
Princess Rongxin glanced between Prince Rui and Shen Miao, but finally settled on Prince Rui.
There were some similarities, like the purple clothes. The only one who could pull off such a noble and elegant look was the mischievous boy from the Zhangtai Palace. But there were also some differences. The unfamiliar, somewhat cold, and murderous aura that only a superior possessed was completely different from the boy in my memory.
Xie Jingxing had died long ago, on the battlefield in the northern border where thousands of horses were galloping, with thousands of arrows piercing his heart.
A sudden pang of pain pierced her heart, and Princess Rongxin suddenly clutched her chest and bent over. No matter how many times she thought of Xie Jingxing's death, she could never let it go. After Princess Yuqing's death, she had treated Xie Jingxing like her own son. Losing a son in middle age, seeing a young man die, her sorrow was no less than Xie Ding's.
Shen Miao hurried forward to help her up, but the purple-robed young man stood with his hands behind his back, glanced at her indifferently, and did not move at all.
Princess Rongxin couldn't help but let out a bitter smile.
That's right, how could Prince Rui be Xie Jingxing? If it was Xie Jingxing, how could he be so indifferent, watching her struggle like a stranger? If Xie Jingxing was still alive, how could he bear to watch her suffer like this.
