Chapter 735 Bed Bang (2)
Princess Rongxin waved her hand and asked, "Why are you here?"
Shen Miao replied, “The Empress asked me to enter the palace.”
Princess Rongxin frowned, looked at Xie Jingxing again, and asked, "Why is Prince Rui here too?"
Shen Miao glanced at Xie Jingxing and said, "I came out of the palace, and the eunuch who was leading the way had something to do on the way. I waited for a long time but he didn't show up. I walked on my own and got lost. I happened to meet His Royal Highness Prince Rui, so I asked His Royal Highness Prince Rui to help me show the way."
This statement was almost a blatant lie. Princess Rongxin had clearly seen that it was Prince Rui who had dragged Shen Miao all the way here. Moreover, Shen Miao had also called Prince Rui by his nickname, so the relationship between the two was quite unusual.
Princess Rong Xin was inexplicably angry. When Xie Jingxing brought Shen Miao to the Princess's Mansion, Princess Rong Xin thought Xie Jingxing treated Shen Miao specially. As she interacted more with Shen Miao, she liked her more and more. Princess Rong Xin had always wanted to bring Shen Miao and Xie Jingxing together. If Xie Jingxing had not died in battle, perhaps this marriage would have been successful.
Now, Shen Miao was in a relationship with another man, and this man's nickname also happened to be "Jingxing." It felt like something she owned had been taken away by someone else, and Princess Rongxin felt bad. She knew Shen Miao couldn't stay single forever, but Prince Rui wasn't from Mingqi after all. Princess Rongxin had lived most of her life and could see through people. Prince Rui acted strangely, and every inch of him exuded danger. He wasn't a simple man. If Shen Miao fell in love with him, it would be too complicated.
"In that case, I, on behalf of Miss Shen, would like to thank His Royal Highness Prince Rui." Princess Rongxin said, but she was trying hard to clarify the relationship between Shen Miao and Prince Rui.
King Rui nodded.
"Since the eunuch leading the way has disappeared, I have many palace maids. I will ask them to take you out. You won't have to trouble Prince Rui with the rest of the journey." Princess Rongxin continued. This attitude clearly showed that she was on guard against Prince Rui.
Prince Rui didn't say anything, just responded lightly and left first.
After Prince Rui left, Princess Rongxin breathed a sigh of relief and asked Shen Miao, “How did you get to know him?”
Shen Miao hadn't expected to suddenly run into Princess Rong Xin today, and she hadn't expected Princess Rong Xin to actually hear what she and Xie Jing Xing were saying. She couldn't help but secretly complain. Xie Jing Xing's secret guards were usually so sharp and sharp that they could even catch a mouse running by. But today, when they let out a warning at a critical moment, they didn't know if they were blind and didn't even notice Princess Rong Xin.
She said, "I've run into His Royal Highness Prince Rui a few times by chance, so we can be considered acquaintances."
Princess Rong Xin looked at her deeply and said, "If you don't want to say it, I won't force you to say it. But... this man is not from Mingqi, and he may have some plans for you. You are a smart girl, and you have to make your own decisions on some things. If not for yourself, you should also think about your parents and elder brother." She was actually afraid that Shen Miao would be deceived by the man.
Shen Miao was at a loss for words. The misunderstanding had reached this point, and it seemed impossible to resolve it. Princess Rong Xin rubbed her chest and took a few breaths. Seeing this, Shen Miao asked, "Princess, what's wrong with you?"
"I've had this heart ailment since my early years," Princess Rongxin shook her head. "It's been getting worse these past few days."
Seeing her distress, Shen Miao vaguely remembered that Princess Rongxin also had a heart ailment in her previous life. The imperial physician had advised her not to worry too much, lest the pain become severe. She said, "Princess, you should find an imperial physician to take a good look at it, or go to the folks and ask for a doctor who specializes in treating heart ailments. It's very hard to be in this pain."
"That's all right." Princess Rongxin waved her hand. "I've lived this long, and I've enjoyed everything I should and shouldn't have. This life has been worthwhile. I probably won't live long, and I don't want to make any more trouble." Her voice gradually faded. "After all... there's nothing worth missing."
