Chapter 766 Black-Hearted Couple (3)
The news she inquired about also surprised Su Mingfeng. The news Princess Rongxin inquired about was about Xie Jingxing.
Xie Jingxing died on the battlefield in Northern Frontier two years ago. Since everyone in Dingjing knew that Xie Jingxing and Princess Rongxin had a very good relationship, Princess Rongxin fell seriously ill after Xie Jingxing's death. Since then, no one dared to mention Xie Jingxing in front of Princess Rongxin, so as not to remind her of sad things.
Who would have thought that Princess Rongxin would take the initiative to ask about Su Mingfeng.
Princess Rongxin asked Su Mingfeng some questions about Xie Jingxing's past, and also indirectly asked if Xie Jingxing had any secrets. In the end, she asked about Xie Jingxing's corpse.
Xie Jingxing had been killed in the Northern Frontier by a thousand enemy arrows. Their leader cut off his head and hung it on the city wall, then peeled and dried it. The Xie family army was watching, and no one could fake it. When they managed to retrieve the body, it was horribly damaged and not even in one piece. Xie Ding fainted upon seeing Xie Jingxing's corpse, and Princess Rongxin, fearing she couldn't bear it, didn't even dare to look. It was Su Mingfeng, his childhood playmate, who saw Xie Jingxing off.
Princess Rong Xin now came to ask Su Mingfeng if he was sure that the corpse was Xie Jingxing.
Under normal circumstances, Su Mingfeng would at most feel a little puzzled. However, ever since he ran into Shen Miao on the street last time and noticed the tiger head ring on Shen Miao's wrist, Su Mingfeng had been feeling somewhat suspicious and had been keeping an eye on Shen Miao's movements in the Shen Mansion. Princess Rong Xin suddenly came to him to inquire about Xie Jingxing. Su Mingfeng almost immediately confirmed his suspicions: Xie Jingxing was not dead, but was probably still alive.
Although Su Mingfeng didn't understand why Xie Jingxing didn't show up since he was still alive, he was not stupid. After he dealt with Princess Rongxin for a few words, Princess Rongxin left, and Su Mingfeng fell into his own thoughts.
Since Princess Rong Xin had some suspicions, she must have discovered something, which meant that Xie Jing Xing must have revealed something. Thinking of Shen Miao's bracelet and Princess Rong Xin's strange behavior, Su Mingfeng had a bold guess: Xie Jing Xing might not only not be dead, but also be in Dingjing City.
What puzzled Su Mingfeng was that Xie Jingxing and Princess Rongxin had always had no secrets and were close friends. What was it that made Xie Jingxing unwilling to tell the truth in front of Princess Rongxin? And why did Princess Rongxin ask about Xie Jingxing's childhood? What was the connection between them?
Whatever the reason, Su Mingfeng felt that Xie Jingxing must have his own reasons. The most urgent task was to find Xie Jingxing's whereabouts. After finding Xie Jingxing, all the questions would naturally have answers.
Where could he find Xie Jingxing? Dingjing City might not be big, but it was definitely not small. Finding someone hiding in such a vast sea of people, especially one with considerable abilities, was definitely not an easy task.
Su Mingfeng planned to send someone to keep an eye on Princess Rongxin.
Since Princess Rongxin had already discovered some clues, she must have more information than him. Whatever Princess Rongxin was investigating, he just had to follow behind and take advantage.
Su Mingfeng raised his hand to call the servant over and whispered a few words into his ear.
…
When Shen Miao received Shen Dongling's note, Xie Jingxing was drinking tea in her room. Ever since that night, Xie Jingxing had legitimately taken charge of her affairs. Shen Miao was very uncomfortable at first, but eventually she got used to it. After all, Xie Jingxing was so well-connected that even if she didn't tell him, he would have found out on his own, and the outcome would have been the same.
Xie Jingxing glanced at the post in her hand and said, “Shen Dongling?”
