Chapter 795 Conviction (2)
Xie Jingxing looked away, and before Shen Miao could react, she saw a thick cloak thrown at her head, almost knocking her off balance. After hugging the cloak tightly, Shen Miao angrily asked, "What are you doing?"
"Put it on." Xie Jingxing frowned, "No one will care if you catch a cold."
Shen Miao was furious. This person always managed to make nice words make people dislike him. However, she did feel a little cold, so she put on the cloak again.
Xie Jingxing then turned around and glanced at her, and saw that Shen Miao didn't seem to care at all that there was a man in the room, and continued to twist her hair calmly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
It's no wonder Shen Miao didn't have such thoughts. In her previous life, she had a crush on Fu Xiuyi, but it was always one-sided, never a mutual affection. When Fu Xiuyi acted out for her, it was at most gratitude and respect. As for those blushing, heart-pounding scenes...none. Later, she became the Empress. Her daily routine consisted mostly of facing the thousands of charming beauties in the palace, and the eunuchs she saw the most. Therefore, she didn't think there was anything wrong with her appearance.
She walked over and sat down while twisting her hair. Seeing Xie Jingxing looking at her thoughtfully, she didn't know why her face turned red, so she asked, "What are you looking at?"
"I thought you would never be shy." Xie Jingxing said lazily: "It's okay, I'm finally relieved."
Shen Miao was baffled.
Xie Jingxing propped up his chin, looked at her and asked, "What do you want from me?"
Today, Shen Miao asked Cong Yang to find a way to call Xie Jing Xing over. Since there was a messenger in the room anyway, it would be a waste if he was not used. However, Cong Yang was really useful. Now Xie Jing Xing is here, right?
Shen Miao paused, hesitating for a moment before asking, "Mr. Pei hasn't replied to my letter in a while. Could you please inquire about the Ding Palace for me? Is there something wrong with Mr. Pei?" Shen Miao hesitated as she uttered the words "Mr. Pei." She hadn't proactively told Xie Jingxing about Pei Lang, but with Xie Jingxing's methods, he must have known their relationship perfectly. Pei Lang used to send her letters regularly, sharing news about Ding Palace, but no letters had come in recent days. Shen Miao suspected something was wrong. If Xie Jingxing hadn't been there, she would have gone straight to the Fengxian Pawnshop. But since Xie Jingxing was there, and Ji Yushu and Xie Jingxing were in cahoots, she could simply entrust the matter to Xie Jingxing.
Hearing this, Xie Jingxing paused for a moment and looked at her meaningfully: "Pei Lang?" He said calmly: "You care about him a lot."
Shen Miao frowned: "I am not the kind of person who would burn bridges after crossing them." Even if she had many complaints and grievances against Pei Lang in her past life, in this life, Pei Lang was on her side after all, and she could not do anything to betray him.
Xie Jingxing nodded nonchalantly: "Okay, I'll find out for you."
Shen Miao: “…” Why do you feel that Xie Jingxing is just being perfunctory and polite?
The two of them were silent, the atmosphere somewhat awkward. Shen Miao changed the subject and asked, "I heard that the Crown Prince hasn't been released yet. What is the current situation in the palace?"
Xie Jingxing glanced at her and said, "Don't worry, the prince is almost done."
Shen Miao was stunned: "What?"
"The Emperor of Qin has already issued a final threat to the old emperor. If the crown prince is not dealt with to avenge Huangfu Hao, he will send troops to attack Ming Qi." Xie Jingxing stared at the rising and falling tea leaves in the teacup, his tone unable to tell whether he was happy or angry. "At this juncture, the old emperor dare not take any risks."
Shen Miao said, "Has the final threat been issued? No wonder... However," she raised her head and looked at Xie Jingxing, "You said that so quickly. I guess the Emperor of Qin hasn't even investigated the situation. Is he determined to make the Crown Prince a scapegoat? Why? Doesn't he want to catch the real murderer of his son?" In Shen Miao's mind, although she had guessed this outcome, she hadn't expected it to happen so soon. After all, the death of a person is no small matter. No matter what, the Emperor of Qin will have to investigate. No matter what, Emperor Wenhui and the other party will be in a stalemate for a while.
