Chapter 745 Trouble (6)
When Shen Miao woke up, Luo Xueyan happily told her that her marriage with the Crown Prince had been temporarily put on hold in the palace. Shen Xin had opened up connections in the palace and it turned out to be related to Prince Rui.
It was said that when Prince Rui and Emperor Wenhui were chatting, they accidentally mentioned several border cities. Emperor Wenhui was worried that the Daliang would come with ill intentions, so at this critical juncture, he wanted to win over the powerful general Shen Xin. Therefore, for the time being, he would not mention Shen Miao's marriage.
Luo Xueyan said, "Prince Rui's arrival was a good opportunity, but it solved Jiaojiao's urgent need. With more time, we can slowly select the right talent for Jiaojiao."
Luo Xueyan's words were unintentional, but Shen Miao's listening was intentional. Naturally, she knew that Prince Rui hadn't "accidentally" mentioned the city issue, causing Emperor Wenhui to change his mind. While she breathed a sigh of relief, Shen Miao couldn't help but secretly shudder at Xie Jingxing's tactics.
Xie Jingxing's tactics weren't particularly brilliant, but they were incredibly effective. With just a few words, he had already caused the emperor to hesitate and hesitate. The Crown Prince's marriage fell through, and Prince Ding's plans were ruined. Killing two birds with one stone was truly a delight. It was sad that Xie Jingxing hadn't seemed to care much about this matter before; it turned out he had this ability.
Thinking of this, Shen Miao felt a little angry. She felt that the crisis that she thought was difficult was easily resolved by Xie Jingxing, which made her look incompetent. Xie Jingxing's frivolous behavior that night could not help but appear in her mind. She just wanted to beat Xie Jingxing up.
Luo Tan said, "My little cousin, why are you holding this book so tightly? You're about to tear the pages."
Shen Miao finally came to her senses and quickly let go of her hand, feeling a little embarrassed. Lately, whenever she thought of Xie Jingxing, her emotions had been a bit out of control. It was all because his actions that day were so unexpected, and she was the only one who was still upset.
Luo Tan held his chin with both hands and looked at her mischievously: "Hey, are you thinking that Brother Ling, Master Su, and Brother Feng are all excellent, and you can't decide which one to choose?"
Shen Miao said: “Thinking too much.”
Before Luo Tan could say anything, he saw Luo Ling walk in from outside. Luo Tan stuck out his tongue and called out, "Brother Ling."
Luo Ling laughed and said, "What are you talking about?"
"I'm talking about my cousin's marriage." Luo Tan said loudly, "My cousin hasn't decided who to marry yet, so I came here to find out some information."
Shen Miao felt helpless. Could Luo Tan have been a little more tactful than saying it out loud like a girl? Fortunately, Shen Miao was a worldly-wise person. If it were an ordinary girl, she would have been so embarrassed.
Shen Miao didn't react, but Luo Ling felt a little embarrassed. He put his hand to his mouth and coughed twice, looked around, and said, "Cousin, do you like the peace pendant?"
"Peace pendant?" Shen Miao frowned and asked, "What peace pendant?"
Luo Ling was stunned for a moment, then said, "It was me yesterday..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the servant outside. He said that Luo Xueyan asked Shen Miao to go to the front hall.
Luo Ling swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth, smiled and let Shen Miao go first. Shen Miao smiled at him apologetically and said, "I'll talk to Cousin Ling later."
When they arrived at the front hall, they found out that someone from the Princess's Mansion had come to the Chen residence. They said that Princess Rongxin had sent an invitation to Shen Miao, asking her to go to the Princess's Mansion.
Princess Rongxin had saved Shen Miao several times, and Shen Xin and his wife were extremely grateful to her, so there was no reason for them to refuse. Shen Miao couldn't possibly say anything either. She accepted the invitation with a smile, but her heart felt extremely heavy.
If Princess Rongxin had sent Shen Miao an invitation in the past, she would have accepted it without hesitation. To be fair, Princess Rongxin treated her well and took care of her in every way because of Xie Jingxing. When she knew that Emperor Wenhui intended to marry Shen Miao to the Crown Prince, she still thought of speaking on her behalf, and Shen Miao felt grateful.
But Princess Rongxin chose to send the invitation at this very moment. If she wanted to talk about the Crown Prince, she could just send someone to say it. Sending the invitation and asking her to go to the Princess's residence clearly meant she wanted to discuss something face to face.
But what could be so important? So important that Princess Rongxin, who rarely saw anyone, would take the initiative to invite Shen Miao to the Princess's Mansion?
Shen Miao couldn't help but think back to that day in the palace when she and Xie Jingxing were caught by Princess Rongxin. She had called out Xie Jingxing's name, and he'd gotten away with it, but she still felt uneasy. If someone you knew and loved deeply, no matter how they became, there would always be some traces of their past.
Shen Miao's intuition had always been accurate. She had never believed that Xie Jingxing and Princess Rongxin could remain hidden safely even if they had bumped into each other. However, this speculation was too terrifying, and the consequences were unpredictable. She didn't want to think about it too deeply.
But escaping is not a solution, trouble is coming.
Shen Miao felt that Princess Rong Xin might have discovered something suspicious, but she couldn’t refuse this post because to refuse would be to admit it.
