Chapter 736 Bed Bang (3)
Shen Miao knew that she was thinking of Xie Jingxing again and didn’t know how to comfort her, so she could only say, “The young marquis wouldn’t be happy to see the princess like this.”
“If he truly cared about me, his aunt, he wouldn’t have passed away so cruelly.” Princess Rongxin suppressed the sadness on her face, patted Shen Miao’s hand, and said, “I have heard that the emperor intends to arrange a marriage for you. I came to the palace today to discuss this with the emperor. Shen Miao, you don’t want to marry the crown prince, do you?”
Shen Miao hadn't expected Princess Rong Xin to actually intercede for her, and for a moment she felt a little sad. In her previous life, she had tried so hard to please Princess Rong Xin, but all she got was her contempt and disdain. In this life, however, because of Xie Jing Xing, Princess Rong Xin changed her mind about her, and was even willing to fight for Emperor Wen Hui's decision. Although Shen Miao knew that Princess Rong Xin had no influence on Emperor Wen Hui's decision, she would remember this kindness in her heart. Shen Miao said, "I don't want to marry into the Eastern Palace, but Princess, there's no need to force it. Everything in the world has its own will. Let nature take its course, and God will make the arrangements."
Princess Rongxin smiled instead and said, "You see things clearly."
She said, "It's getting late, so I won't talk to you anymore. Go over there first, and I'll have the maid take you out."
…
Shen Miao was escorted out of the palace by Princess Rongxin's maid. Jingzhe and Guyu, who were waiting outside, were the first to come forward. They first looked Shen Miao up and down, and after confirming that she was safe and sound, they said, "You scared me to death. I waited for so long, thinking something had happened. If the young lady doesn't come out, we are going to find a way to go in and look for her."
Shen Miao laughed. "It's not a den of dragons and tigers, how can it be so scary?" But she was secretly thinking about the two assassins who had appeared inexplicably today. Who knew who they were? How dare they dare to kill her in the palace? However, if she died, it would only harm the Crown Prince. If the assassin didn't want to sit back and watch the Crown Prince dominate, then, without error, they would be either the King of Zhou or the King of Li. Fu Xiuyi was unlikely to be involved. The incident between Shen Wan and the Crown Prince Qin had only recently happened. Fu Xiuyi wouldn't be so proactive in getting himself in the spotlight. With his patient nature, he would remain in the dark for a while.
Thinking about it, she couldn't help but sneer in her heart. In short, no one in the Fu family is a good person. The Shen family and the Fu family are destined to be two opposing sides. It's either you die or I die. The other party is so ruthless, she will not show mercy.
Mo Qing stepped forward and motioned for Shen Miao to board the carriage and set off back to the Shen residence.
At the corner of a bustling tavern, beside the busy street at the palace gate, someone was observing the movements of Mo Qing and his group. When he saw Shen Miao coming out of the palace gate unharmed, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he picked up the sword on the table and left quietly.
Shen Miao returned to the Shen residence. Naturally, Shen Qiu and the others gathered around to ask what the Empress had said to her in the palace today. Shen Miao skipped over the incident with Xie Jingxing and only related what the Empress had said to her. Everyone in the Shen family was once again filled with worry. The Imperial family was threatening Shen Miao, neither light nor heavy. They feared that their days were shortening day by day, and they had to find a solution quickly.
Luo Xueyan then thought of the people who came to the mansion to propose marriage, and wanted to ask Shen Miao what she thought. If there was one of these people that Shen Miao felt a little better about, why not just leave it at that for now. After all, Shen Xin had also made inquiries, and although they weren't perfect, their character was not a problem.
However, Shen Miao had just experienced the incident with Xie Jingxing today, and her mind was in a state of confusion. How could she be in the mood to discuss such things? When Luo Xueyan brought it up, she showed a rare hint of displeasure. Seeing this, Chen Xin and the others looked at each other in confusion, thinking that Shen Miao was disturbed by the Queen's words in the palace, so they didn't want to continue the conversation. So they let Shen Miao rest in the room early and left on her own.
