Chapter 846 Injury (5)
A huge wave passed through Shen Miao's heart, but she suddenly came to her senses in the blink of an eye.
She was wondering how Xie Jingxing got injured. So that's how it was!
Many things have changed between past lives and present lives, and the Xie family father and son are one of them. In their past life, Lin'an Marquis Xie Ding went to war first, but was defeated and killed. The Lin'an Marquisate subsequently declined, and Xie Jingxing accepted the imperial order and led another expedition, only to be pierced by a thousand arrows. Whether Xie Jingxing faked his death in his past life or not, one thing is certain: the simultaneous deaths of the Xie father and son on the battlefield were a fate the Fu family had long planned for the Lin'an Marquisate!
Due to some changes in this life, Xie Jingxing changed his mind for some reason and went to war early. The emperor originally wanted to deal with Lin'an Hou, but took the opportunity to change it to Xie Jingxing. Xie Jingxing died, but unexpectedly, Lin'an Hou was unable to recover, which saved the royal family from having to take action again.
This is exactly what Xie Jingxing said to Su Mingfeng: "Mingqi did not nurture me, but only wiped me out."
Ming Qi had indeed no other choice but to obliterate Xie Jingxing. The Lin'an Marquisate had at least made significant contributions to Ming Qi's rule, but once the bird was gone, the bow was put away. Once a minister achieved great success, the royal family was eager to suppress him. Although Shen Miao had long known that the downfall of the Lin'an Marquisate in her previous life was closely linked to the royal family, hearing Xie Jingxing speak for herself was a different story.
If even Xie Ding's closest associates were spies sent by the imperial family, then every move at the Lin'an Marquisate was practically under the watchful eyes of Emperor Wenhui. Therefore, Xie Jingxing had never been close to Xie Ding since childhood. Perhaps, although he wasn't sure who the spies were, he knew that the imperial family never left the Lin'an Marquisate.
Perhaps even Fang, Xie Changchao and Xie Changwu were secretly controlled by Emperor Wenhui's men. However, Xie Changchao and Xie Changwu are now dead, Fang is almost collapsed, and there is no successor to the Lin'an Marquisate. It seems that Emperor Wenhui will no longer have any other thoughts about the Lin'an Marquisate.
Shen Miao looked at Xie Jingxing again, feeling relieved that she had survived the disaster.
Xie Jingxing's life in Mingqi wasn't as privileged as Su Mingfeng had imagined. Perhaps Daliang had sent Xie Jingxing here because of the prestige of the Lin'an Marquisate, believing that Princess Yuqing's sudden death would dote on him even more. However, they hadn't anticipated the crises lurking within this seemingly glittering mansion. Xie Jingxing wasn't necessarily happier living in the Lin'an Marquisate than in an ordinary household. On the contrary, from a young age, he was forced to accept a life that many adults would struggle to adapt to.
Intrigues, deceptions, hypocrisy among the royal family, and hidden dangers amidst the harmony and happiness.
If there had been no support from the people of Daliang on the battlefield in the northern border, or if the time had been slower, Xie Jingxing would have been nothing but a handful of yellow earth now.
Xie Jingxing looked at Shen Miao's expression. Although he tried his best to remain calm, his breathing still fluctuated slightly. He raised his lips and smiled, reaching across the table to touch her head, saying, "What are you afraid of? When you get to Daliang, I'm here with you. Who would dare to touch you?"
“Daliang also has a royal family.” Shen Miao always felt that things were not that simple.
Xie Jing Xing disagreed: "I am also a royal family." He withdrew his hand and said nonchalantly: "You don't have to be afraid of anyone except the emperor. Even if you meet the emperor and really anger him, tell me and I will keep you safe."
"Daliang is my territory. Anyone who dares to bully you is going against the world." Xie Jingxing said, "Don't mention Mingqi's embarrassing things in the future. It hurts your pride."
He laughed teasingly, but Shen Miao felt slightly sad.
How could it be considered a blow to one's pride? It's just that the past wasn't particularly happy, so I'll just forget about it. During those difficult years, I should have been enjoying the carefree life of a prince or noble, but instead, I lived like an ant, crushed by the power of another country.
