Chapter 67 Is she avoiding me?



Chapter 67 Is she avoiding me?

It is said that His Royal Highness Prince Xuan never shows his emotions, but when He Jinyun glanced over secretly, he was slightly startled.

Prince Xuan's face turned ashen and his voice was cold, and it was obvious that he was unhappy.

She immediately turned stern and scolded Xie Zhuoning's maid, "His Royal Highness Prince Xuan has come in person, how can Sister Zhuoning be so ignorant of etiquette that she didn't even come to pay a visit? I'm afraid she is relying on her status as the future Crown Princess to be so disrespectful to His Royal Highness Prince Xuan!"

Banxia knelt down quickly and said, "My young lady is not feeling well, so she cannot come in person. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Hearing that she was not feeling well, Xiao Jinxuan frowned and asked, "Have you asked for a doctor?"

"I've already seen a doctor, he said there's nothing wrong with it, I just need to rest well."

These words were all arranged by Xie Zhuoning in advance, and Banxia only had to repeat them word for word.

Xiao Jinxuan's brows relaxed. The moment he heard that she was fine, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief as well.

Since he could not see anyone, he did not stay any longer. "I am sorry for disturbing you today. Now that I have received the letter, I will take my leave."

He Jinyun hurried over to send her off, "Your Highness Prince Xuan, please don't blame Sister Zhuo Ning. She has always had a bad health. Whenever she encountered something she didn't like, she would always feel unwell. We sent her precious medicinal herbs like water, but she never got better. This worries me as her sister-in-law."

She sighed as if she was really worried about her older sister.

But the implicit meaning of the words was almost telling Xiao Jinxuan that Xie Zhuoning was faking illness.

I thought His Royal Highness Prince Xuan would be angry with Xie Zhuoning after hearing this, but he suddenly raised his eyes and glanced at her coldly, "Why would I blame her?"

That look was like one that had been cooled by ice water, causing He Jinyun to feel cold all over and shiver uncontrollably.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Sister Zhuo Ning claimed to be ill and could not go out, which was very disrespectful to His Royal Highness Prince Xuan..."

Xiao Jinxuan said calmly, "I just wanted to thank Miss Xie in person. Since she is not feeling well, how can I force her to do anything? Is it possible that in the eyes of the young lady, I am such an unreasonable person?"

He Jinyun was very anxious, "That's not what I meant..."

What she wanted to say was that Xie Zhuoning often pretended to be sick, and this time he deliberately didn't come to pay his respects to him!

How did it inexplicably end up involving Prince Xuan's unreasonableness?

"Is the young lady worried that Miss Xie's illness will not get better?" Xiao Jinxuan said without waiting for He Jinyun to speak, and immediately gave the order.

"Ling Xiao, go to the palace storehouse and get some precious medicinal herbs and give them to Miss Xie as a thank you gift for borrowing my book."

This move is legitimate and no one can find any fault with it.

However, He Jinyun felt a lump in his heart, which was more painful than being stabbed in the heart.

She clearly wanted His Royal Highness Prince Xuan to hate Xie Zhuoning, but in the end, Xie Zhuoning gained a lot of benefits while she ended up with nothing!

After sending Prince Xuan out of the house, she covered her chest with her hands, and was so angry that she simply claimed to be sick and stayed indoors.

After leaving Xie's house, Xiao Jinxuan was still a little worried.

He called Ling Xiao and instructed, "When you deliver the herbs later, remember to ask the maid beside her about the situation."

At the same time, someone was immediately sent into the palace to ask for a doctor.

If the girl was really feeling unwell, he would immediately ask Doctor Yu to come to her house.

"Don't worry, sir. Leave it to me!"

Ling Xiao patted his chest and vowed solemnly.

But he didn't expect that after entering Xie's house, he was turned away with his belongings before he even touched the threshold of Fenghua Pavilion.

Fuling stood at the door and raised her voice, "Everyone, please go back. My young lady said that it's just a book. If His Royal Highness Prince Xuan likes it, she can give it to him. There's no need to return any gift. Besides, my young lady only has a minor illness. She doesn't need such expensive medicinal herbs. Please take them back."

"Sister, my grandfather asked me to deliver these things. If you ask me to take them back, it means that my grandfather thinks I am not doing my job well!"

Ling Xiao took a step forward with a smile, trying to act pitiful and get close to Fuling.

But before he could get close, he saw a thin thread flying past him.

Xia Ju lifted the precious bracelet on her wrist, her tone filled with murderous intent.

"Kill anyone who enters again!"

Ling Xiao looked at the golden silk thread that was only a hair's breadth away from his neck and his breathing paused.

If he takes another half step forward, his head and body will be torn apart!

This woman really wants to kill him!

He came with things in confidence and left with things in dejection.

Ling Xiao knelt on the ground, saying bitterly, "Master, please punish me."

Xiao Jinxuan, who was sitting at the top, was stroking the amulet in his hand, with no intention of paying any attention to him.

After a long while, he suddenly asked, "Do you think she is avoiding me?"

He claimed to be ill and did not come to see him, and also returned all the things he had sent.

It was as if he had used a knife to draw a line between the two of them, dividing him and her clearly.

"Perhaps Miss Xie is afraid that accepting your things will cause criticism?" Ling Xiao thought for a moment and said.

After all, one is the future Crown Princess and the other is the Crown Prince's uncle, so they have to avoid some suspicion.

Xiao Jinxuan's eyes moved.

Could this be the reason?

But this time he even thought of a reason, and it was reasonable.

What is she afraid of?

What's more, if she really cared about what others thought of her, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to provoke me in the first place.

Xiao Jinxuan's eyes were dim as he stared at the amulet in his hand.

For some reason, he felt extremely upset and irritated.

In the painted boat.

The person who went to invite Bai Yingxue came back with a report, "The people in the Bai residence said that Miss Bai had been traveling all night and caught a cold. They were afraid that the disease would be passed on to the Crown Prince, so they decided not to disturb the Crown Prince's fun."

Ye Wuque waited for a long time to hear this sentence, and immediately smiled.

"It doesn't matter. Since she is ill, I will go to see her in person."

When the people in Bai Mansion saw Ye Wuque coming, they were all shocked.

He was not at all shy and walked straight in as if he had arrived at his own home.

Madam Bai quickly stepped forward to stop him, "Prince Chu, please stay. Xue'er...she is not feeling well. I am afraid she might have disturbed you."

"To be honest, I am a little knowledgeable in medicine. I came here to treat my fiancée's illness. Thank you, Madam, for leading the way."

You say he is carefree, but he also knows what "hard work" means.

You might say he is polite and well-mannered, but the emphasis he put on every word is threatening.

Mrs. Bai was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but she really couldn't think of any solution. She could only take the person over first.

When they reached the door, the maid guarding the door also stepped forward to stop them.

"Your Highness, our Daye has its own rules. Even if you are an unmarried couple, it is not right to enter a girl's bedroom. It is inappropriate for you to enter her room like this."

Ye Wuque raised his eyebrows and said, "What's wrong with that? I am not irresponsible."
