But if the person who killed him in his previous life wasn't Xie Xuan, then who was it?
Ever since he was reborn, he has been searching for that person.
He originally thought that, having been given a second chance at life, he should find that person as soon as possible and kill him before he became a threat.
However, he searched for a long time. He searched every person and place he could think of.
Still no.
He saw that Yama mask; the person wearing it was Zhu Anshi.
But the person who killed him in his previous life was not Zhu Anshi; he was absolutely certain of that.
He gritted his teeth and pondered for a long time before finally growling, "Guards!"
As the crown prince, Xie Sheng was always accompanied by palace maids even when he was forced to kneel as punishment.
However, the palace maid stood far away and did not approach.
At this moment, after hearing Xie Sheng's words, she walked over.
After bowing to Xie Sheng, the palace maid asked, "What are your orders, Your Highness?"
Xie Sheng's face was gloomy as he said, "Send a message back to them, telling them to investigate the relationship between Xie Xuan and Zhu Anshi! Also, investigate who Zhu Anshi has been in contact with since arriving in the capital."
He had previously investigated Zhu Anshi's network of relationships, going through everyone he could find around him, but he still couldn't find that person.
But he forgot that the person might also be someone Zhu Anshi knew in the capital.
The palace maid immediately agreed.
She said, "Shall I go now?"
After saying that, she left in a hurry.
After the palace maid left, Xie Sheng looked at Xie Xuan and Yun Chuwei again.
At this moment, they were walking side by side toward the palace gate.
Hatred flashed in Xie Sheng's eyes.
"Royal brother, no matter what, you are doomed to die! If the person who killed me in my previous life was not you, then I will give you a quick death! If it is proven that you were the one, I will make you suffer endless torment and die in agony! Don't blame me, blame yourself for getting too close to Yun Chuwei!" Xie Sheng said hatefully in a voice that only he could hear.
-
After Yun Chuwei got into the carriage, she looked at Xie Xuan and fell into deep thought.
She shared the same doubts as Xie Sheng.
The Xie Xuan of that moment just now looked so much like the Yama mask that he wore when he stormed into the palace in his previous life and killed Yun Lianhua and Xie Sheng.
She even felt that it was the same person.
However, Xie Xuan had clearly been dead for a long time at that time.
How could someone who has been dead for several years suddenly reappear?
It seems I need to find an opportunity to ask Zhu Anshi.
Xie Xuan noticed that Yun Chuwei was lost in thought and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Yun Chuwei snapped out of her reverie and said with a smile, "I was wondering why you are so beautiful!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Xuan's ears felt slightly hot.
Even knowing that Yun Chuwei was such a woman, he still asked in a low voice, "Yun Chuwei, do you still remember that you are a woman?"
Yun Chuwei turned her head slightly to look at Xie Xuan, and asked in confusion, "What does praising you have to do with whether I'm a woman or not? Does it mean that women can't praise others? Or is it that I'm a woman and can't accurately judge whether you're good-looking or not?"
As Yun Chuwei spoke, she deliberately leaned closer to Xie Xuan, scrutinizing him carefully before saying, "He really is handsome, isn't he? Why won't you let me say so?"
Xie Xuan looked at Yun Chuwei, who was so close to him, his Adam's apple bobbing, and said in a low voice, "What I mean is, shouldn't women be reserved and demure? How can you be like this..."
"Women aren't all the same!" Yun Chuwei said, then suddenly realized, "Oh! I understand now, so you like reserved, gentle, and considerate women, I see!"
After saying that, she moved away from Xie Xuan and said, "Unfortunately, I am not."
After Yun Chuwei finished speaking, she turned around and intended to ask the driver to stop the car.
However, before she could speak, Xie Xuan grabbed her hand.
Xie Xuan pulled her back and pressed her back onto the couch. Looking at her, he said urgently, "I didn't! I didn't!"
Yun Chuwei looked at Xie Xuan and smiled, "What?"
Xie Xuan pursed her lips, then explained, "I don't like reserved, demure, or overly gentle women."
Seeing Xie Xuan's eagerness to explain, Yun Chuwei couldn't help but want to tease him.
"So what kind do you like?"
Xie Xuan looked at Yun Chuwei, his expression turning serious.
He swallowed hard and said earnestly, "Yun Chuwei, I like her..."
When Yun Chuwei met Xie Xuan's intensely focused gaze, the playful expression on her face gradually faded.
She suddenly reached out and pressed her hand against Xie Xuan's lips, stopping him from saying anything more.
Xie Xuan frowned, grabbed Yun Chuwei's hand, and stared at her intently.
Yun Chuwei suddenly laughed and said, "I was just teasing Prince Xuan. You don't need to tell me what kind of woman he likes!"
After Yun Chuwei finished speaking, she withdrew her hand and turned back to the carriage door.
Xie Xuan suddenly spoke up: "Why don't I need to tell you! You are my betrothed princess, we are already husband and wife. Why shouldn't I tell you? Yun Chuwei, I like you, why can't I say it?"
Yun Chuwei froze on the spot.
After a long while, she slowly returned to the couch and sat down, facing Xie Xuan.
Xie Xuan also looked at Yun Chuwei, her eyes seemingly filled with a hint of grievance.
Yun Chuwei suddenly spoke up, "Why do you like me?"
Xie Xuan looked at Yun Chuwei and said earnestly, "You saved me, so I've come to like you!"
Yun Chu frowned slightly: "But gratitude and liking are not the same thing. Can you tell the difference?"
"Of course I can!" Xie Xuan said earnestly.
Would he want to pin her against the palace wall and kiss her out of gratitude?
Will I be so grateful that she couldn't sleep all night because of a single sentence about spring, and secretly changed the half-finished drawing into a spring-themed one?
After hearing her thoughts, does gratitude always make him want her to tear off his official robes?
He knew very well that it wasn't gratitude.
When he faced her, he didn't want to thank her for saving his life.
Instead, he wanted her to treat him the way Chun Yiyu did.
Xie Xuan looked at Yun Chuwei, his breathing becoming heavier.
He dared not express these thoughts.
He was afraid she would think he was shameless, and even more afraid that she would despise him.
Yun Chuwei took a deep breath and said, "But you... you hated me before, and you wanted to kill me! You..."
Yun Chuwei didn't know how to describe this strange feeling.
Xie Xuan looked at Yun Chuwei and said earnestly, "But I hate you because I think you would hurt me. You said you wouldn't hurt me!"
Even when he hated her the most, he couldn't suppress the affection in his heart.
He wanted to kill her to avenge her death, but knowing she was already dead, he felt that living had lost its meaning.
The hatred and love of her previous life almost drove her insane.
Yun Chu pursed her lips slightly, agreeing that this was indeed true.
But……
"Forget it," Yun Chuwei said. "You'd better not like me!"
Xie Xuan felt a sharp pain in his heart; he was in great pain and almost suffocated.
"Why? You will be my queen, why can't I love you?"
He doesn't understand!
Yun Chuwei said seriously, "Because I may not live much longer!"
