Chapter 273 Don't worry, I won't give up
When Xiao Jinxuan came, he made a big fuss, and when he left, he was even more high-profile.
All the palace guards along the way saw the scene of His Royal Highness Prince Xuan carrying the eldest daughter of the Xie family out of the palace.
The man is tall and straight with a strong embrace, while the woman is shy and coquettish as she leans against him. They look a perfect match.
The two did not separate until they got on the carriage at the palace gate.
Song Yuqiu immediately came over and asked me with a frown, "Sister Zhuo Ning, how do you feel about being carried here by His Royal Highness Prince Xuan?"
"Dare to think?" Xie Zhuoning shook his head, "I don't dare to think about it!"
There was neither an engagement nor a betrothal gift.
She didn't even dare to imagine how many memorials would be submitted tomorrow to impeach Xiao Jinxuan!
Song Yuqiu was speechless.
This is what her sister Zhuoning is thinking about?
Glancing at Xiao Jinxuan across from her, she moved closer and lowered her voice, "Sister Zhuo Ning, when His Royal Highness Prince Xuan hugged you, didn't you feel your face turn red and your heartbeat quicken?"
Xie Zhuoning waved his hand and said, "He did it for the people in the palace to see."
The Yulin Army received an order to seal the palace gates and capture the assassin.
However, Xiao Jinxuan entered the palace after the blockade, so he could not be the assassin.
And the "eldest lady of the Xie family" who entered the palace with him naturally could not be an assassin.
After Xiao Jinxuan did this, everyone's attention was instantly focused on their gossip, so when they left the city gate, no one even checked them carefully.
Otherwise, if someone finds out that she was a different person when she came in and when she left, all her plans would be in vain!
Song Yuqiu pinched his chin, thinking.
This explanation seems to make sense...
No, no, no, no, how could she be led astray by Sister Zhuoning?
"No, Sister Zhuo Ning, is there a possibility that His Royal Highness Prince Xuan did that on purpose? He is announcing to the whole world that you are his woman!"
Xie Zhuoning was startled, his eyes flickered, and he looked incredulous, "No way..."
Song Yuqiu secretly glanced at His Royal Highness Prince Xuan and saw that he had his eyes lowered and closed as if he was taking a nap, but his body was slightly tilted to the side, and he was obviously paying attention to what was going on over here.
She deliberately raised her voice, "Why not? What if His Royal Highness Prince Xuan thinks so?"
Xie Zhuoning still thought it was impossible. "If it was for this reason, it would be too ridiculous and too costly. I believe that our wise and intelligent Prince Xuan would not be so naive."
She thought she had chosen her words very carefully and even praised Xiao Jinxuan. He should not continue to be angry with her, right?
But unexpectedly, when she looked at the man, she only saw half of a cold and hard profile.
Xiao Jinxuan actually turned his back, looking like he didn't want to talk to her at all!
Xie Zhuoning rubbed his brows with a headache, "..."
Coaxing a man is really a technical job.
All the way in silence.
The atmosphere in the carriage was so cold that it seemed like it could freeze.
Song Yuqiu felt that this situation was no longer something she could handle, so she simply got out of the carriage and sat with Song Lan.
Seeing that there were only two people left in the car, Xie Zhuoning slowly moved to Xiao Jinxuan's side.
"Your Highness Prince Xuan? Xiao Jinxuan? Xiao Heng? Prince? Master?"
She called him several times, but the man closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, ignoring her.
Xie Zhuoning gritted his teeth.
Good, very good!
She came closer, almost touching his ear, her voice soft and charming, her breath sweet as orchid, "Brother Jinxuan~"
Xiao Jinxuan: “…”
He sighed and said in a cold tone, "What on earth do you want to do?"
If the blush on his earlobes hadn't betrayed him, Xie Zhuoning would have thought that he was really indifferent.
"So you actually like this? No wonder some people called me Brother Heng and Brother Heng for so many years without correcting their behavior."
Xiao Jinxuan said in a cold tone, with a hint of sarcasm on his face, "You don't care about these things."
She is very generous and can even share a man with other women.
Why would you care about these little things?
"I care." Xie Zhuoning lowered his eyelashes, his long eyelashes covering his dark eyes.
It's like someone cutting your flesh with a blunt knife. It doesn't hurt at first, but slowly, the dull pain starts to come over you.
She smiled bitterly and twitched her lips. "Xiao Jinxuan, you may not know that I have been naive, reckless, and have trusted the wrong people. As a result, I have suffered a lot and hurt many people, but I have not received any good results."
"To the point that now I weigh the pros and cons of everything, and I don't dare to do things like I did before, relying solely on passion and dedication."
She almost forgot how to love someone properly.
Until today, when the dull pain gradually spread throughout her body and threatened to devour her, she belatedly realized how much weight Xiao Jinxuan occupied in her heart.
"I actually don't want you to be touched by other women. I just want you to belong to me alone, but I'm also afraid that if this thought fills my mind, you won't belong to me alone anymore. How desperate I would be then."
Xiao Jinxuan said she didn’t care, but no, she cared a lot.
It is because we care that we try every possible way to cover it up by saying we don’t care.
Xiao Jinxuan looked at her in surprise. After a moment of hesitation, he couldn't help but hold her head and kissed her gently. "Isn't what I did good enough? Why do you think that I don't belong to you alone?"
He thought he had made it clear enough before.
He will only marry one person in his life.
Now that I have decided that it is her, she will be with me for the rest of my life.
Xie Zhuoning smiled sadly, "You are going to be the emperor in the future. Which emperor doesn't have three thousand beauties in his harem?"
Even Emperor Zhaowen had many concubines in the harem. Apart from the empress and Concubine Xiang, there were also many women who did not give birth to children.
Xiao Jinxuan understood the reason and laughed instead, "Miss Xie, have you forgotten that I am just your puppet? If you succeed in seizing the throne, you will control the emperor and the dukes. You rule the world, so why are you afraid that you can't control such trivial matters as the harem?"
Now she holds the military power of both the Zhenbei Army and the Nanyang Army. Murong Yan has also secretly helped her to win over many ministers in the court. She was the one who saved the newly appointed Minister of Personnel...
And what about me? I am just an idle prince.
"When the time comes, Miss Xie will hold great power, and I will be the one who should worry about being abandoned."
Seeing Xiao Jinxuan speaking in a serious tone, Xie Zhuoning couldn't help laughing.
If he was someone who could be coerced and manipulated so easily, he would not have been named Regent by Emperor Zhaowen in his previous life.
It can be said that half of Xiaobi City's territory was guarded by him.
And now, this proud, perfect, and unparalleled man is willing to become her vassal.
Xie Zhuoning's eyes sparkled with sparks, and they were rekindled. "Please rest assured, Your Highness Prince Xuan, I am not the kind of person who will give up after starting something irresponsible. I will definitely take responsibility for you."
Xiao Jinxuan curled his lips slightly, looking very eye-catching, "Then I feel relieved."
