Chapter 263: Beauty is a feast for the eyes

At dinner time.

Xie Zhuoning stared at Xiao Jinxuan, looking at him carefully without even blinking.

It's impossible not to be noticed if you look at me so blatantly.

Xiao Jinxuan put down his bowl and chopsticks and looked up at her. "Why are you staring at me if you're not eating?"

With his hands on his cheeks, Xie Zhuoning smiled and said, "You are such a beauty that I am full just by looking at you. How can I care about eating?"

How does she look like a lady from a noble family?

He looks more like some dissolute and romantic young man.

Xiao Jinxuan said calmly, "Since you don't want to eat it, there's no need to serve the steamed turbot I made especially for you. I'll ask them to clear it."

"Hey, hey, hey, that's not necessary!" Xie Zhuoning hurriedly stopped him.

The Prince Xuan's Mansion was very different from the last time she came. Not only had the maids and servants changed, but even the cooks were specially hired famous chefs.

Although perilla is also delicious in cooking, its main focus is different after all, especially this steamed turbot. A small bite is so delicious that even perilla shakes its head and says it can't be made.

She had eaten it once and has been craving it ever since. How can you just take it away from her?

Xiao Jinxuan saw that she was eating her meal obediently, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, his obedience was all a pretense. The next moment, Xie Zhuoning suddenly attacked him and grabbed his chest with one hand, "A cruel and cruel palm!"

With a raised long arm and loosely grasping the wrist, Xiao Jinxuan pulled the person into his arms and held him tightly.

"Why? Do you want to play so much today?"

Xie Zhuoning: "..."

That’s not the case.

She mainly wanted to see if he still had that problem of being unable to move when it came to women.

Now it seems that it is indeed healed.

But I am also thinking, it has been confirmed after so many contacts, why bother to verify it again?

Now, I have jumped into the hole I dug myself.

"I haven't finished my meal yet." She pointed weakly at her bowl.

The curve of Xiao Jinxuan's lips widened, "Since you don't want to eat well, how about I feed you?"

Xie Zhuoning reacted instantly and shook his head violently, "No, that's too disgusting!"

Xiao Jinxuan paused with his hand holding the spoon and looked at her in confusion.

Disgusting?

"Oh, so that's how you feed it." Xie Zhuoning breathed a sigh of relief.

"What do you think?"

"I thought... it was just spoon feeding."

How could Xiao Jinxuan not know what was in her mind?

He leaned forward slightly and whispered in her ear, "Last time you were in Prince Xuan's mansion, you were unconscious the whole time. Do you want to guess how I fed you the medicine?"

Xie Zhuoning: "..."

She doesn't want to know!

Seeing her expression of being ready to die, Xiao Jinxuan stopped teasing her and let her go. "Tell me, what happened to you today?"

From the moment I saw myself, I felt like something was not right.

Xie Zhuoning was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

Xiao Jinxuan teased himself, was he trying to make her happier?

"Nothing much, I just feel like I know very little about you."

He is fully aware of every change in my mood.

And if I look into it carefully, I'm afraid I don't know as much about him as others do.

Xiao Jinxuan thought it was something serious, but when he heard it, his eyebrows relaxed, "If you want to know something, just ask me directly."

He had nothing to hide from her.

Xie Zhuoning then asked his own question, "Xiao Jinxuan, how did you develop the problem of not being able to get close to women?"

Xiao Jinxuan was surprised for a moment before he came to his senses. "I don't know either. It seems to have been like this since I can remember."

Not to mention the maids and nannies, even the Empress Dowager was the same.

So all the people who served him were replaced by eunuchs.

Xie Zhuoning became more and more confused, "Has it been like this since childhood?"

He is so young, what kind of trouble could there be in his heart?

"Why do you suddenly think of asking these questions?" Xiao Jinxuan looked at her with some confusion.

Xie Zhuoning came back to his senses and shook his head gently, "Nothing, I just thought of it on a whim. By the way, has Prince Yong received any news?"

The topic suddenly changed, and seeing that she was unwilling to continue, Xiao Jinxuan started talking about business.

"Well, Prince Yong sent a message to the palace. Queen Mother Yin has gone to the East Palace to visit the Crown Prince."

…

In the bedroom of the East Palace.

The imperial doctors all knelt down, trembling with fear.

Xiao Bicheng was lying on the bed, throwing things around and cursing, "Waste, all waste! If you can't even heal such a simple injury, what's the point of you?!"

The imperial doctors listened in silence, not daring to say anything. Even if they were hit, they dared not say a word and could only bear it.

Such a simple injury?

If only it were that easy!

It's broken into two pieces. It's broken into two pieces. How can they treat it? !

Xiao Bicheng lost his temper for a while, then shouted again: "Someone come, someone come!"

The guards of the East Palace came in immediately to greet him, "What do you want, Prince?"

"Where's Xie Zhuoning? Where's Xie Zhuoning that I asked you to capture? Where is she?"

That damn woman, she is the crown prince of a country, and it is her honor that he is willing to favor her.

How dare she, how dare she do this to herself? !

We must catch her and make her suffer tenfold or a hundredfold the pain she has endured!

The guard hesitated, "I...I failed to do my job well and failed to capture Miss Xie."

"Are you all here for nothing? You can't even do such a small thing! You are a bunch of trash! Trash!"

This time, Xiao Bicheng directly grabbed the porcelain pillow he was leaning on and threw it over. With a "bang", the guard's head was smashed and bleeding.

He then asked, "Where is Gong Liren? Why doesn't he come to see me? Has he become too bold and doesn't want to obey my orders anymore?"

The guard shook his head, "I don't know, but I haven't been able to contact Master Gong since the Civil and Military Conference."

It was as if... it had disappeared into thin air.

Xiao Bicheng was extremely upset. The pain in his body and heart made him feel like he was on the verge of exploding.

He was now completely irrational, the only thing he wanted was to destroy Xie Zhuoning, the woman who had turned him into such a horrible person!

"Go and capture Xie Zhuoning. I don't care what method you use, just capture Xie Zhuoning right now!"

"yes!"

Just as the guard was about to leave, a voice shouted angrily from the door, "Cheng'er, how long are you going to keep making trouble?"

When everyone saw the person coming, they knelt down and saluted, "Greetings to the Queen!"

The queen walked over to Xiao Bicheng and felt extremely distressed when she saw her son being tortured to the point where he was neither human nor ghost.

But especially at times like this, we must not lose our sense of proportion.

"Don't touch Xie Zhuoning for now. If she exposes your accident, your future will be ruined! What we need to do now is to keep this news secret and not let King Yong know!"

Xiao Bicheng said impatiently, "Now that I have become like this, what is the point of being an emperor?"

Isn't it a joke that an emperor cannot be humane?

“Pah—”

The queen slapped him on the face and said, "Are you awake now? If you are, listen to me carefully—"

"If Prince Yong takes the throne, we will all die!"
