513 Invitation (2)
“You got me there.” Xie Jingxing stood up straight, and his eyes darkened. He said with a faint smile, “I’ll just take it that you are still Shen Miao.” He seemed to be talking to himself, but at the same time, he seemed to be talking to Shen Miao. “It’s really difficult to find out all the secrets about you.”
“Prince Rui, why won’t you let me off?” Shen Miao looked at him. “Whether I have secrets or not, it has nothing to do with you.”
“Unfortunately, I’m interested in your secrets.” Xie Jingxing said leisurely, “Besides, after thinking about it, you seem to be the only person I can trust in Ming Qi.”
Shen Miao smiled instead of being angry. “Prince Rui, don’t you still have Su Mingfeng and Princess Rong Xin?”
Xie Jingxing smiled. “Let the past stay in the past.”
For some reason, under the light, the smile on his lips looked a little lonely.
Xie Jingxing looked at her and continued, “How do you plan to deal with Chang Zaiqing? If you beg me, I might help you.”
Shen Miao said expressionlessly, “I only hope that Prince Rui can stay out of my matters.”
“It seems like you’ve already thought of what to do.” Xie Jingxing raised his eyebrows. “Impressive.”
Shen Miao lowered her eyes and heard Xie Jingxing say, “The princess of the State of Qin won’t let this matter rest.”
“You don’t have to remind me.” Shen Miao glared at him. “I have to thank Prince Rui for ‘helping’ me today.”
With Princess Ming An’s jealous personality and the fact she seemed to be quite infatuated with Xie Jingxing, after Xie Jingxing was protective of Shen Miao, she would definitely vent her anger on Shen Miao.
“She’s not your match.” Xie Jingxing reached out and rubbed Shen Miao’s head. She shook his hand off.
She did not want to speak. Princess Ming An was not smart to begin with, so Shen Miao was not worried at all. The most difficult person to deal with was Huangfu Hao. In fact, Huangfu Hao and Princess Ming An came to Ming Qi this time to form an alliance with Ming Qi. Ming Qi was also interested in befriending the State of Qin.
No matter what, she could not let Fu Xiuyi and Huangfu Hao get together. It would naturally take a lot of effort to break the tacit alliance between the two countries. Shen Miao’s gaze involuntarily landed on Xie Jingxing. She did not know what kind of role the Daliang Dynasty would play in this chess game.
In her previous life, she died too early, so she did not know what kind of accomplishment Xie Jingxing had made at the end of his life. It was clear that he did not die in battle, but instead, he escaped and returned to the Daliang Dynasty to be Prince Rui.
Xie Jingxing noticed her gaze and smiled. “What is on your mind now?”
Shen Miao looked at him steadily. “When does Prince Rui plan to return to the Daliang Dynasty?”
“You don’t want me to leave?” Xie Jingxing glanced at her with a smile and looked out of the window. “Don’t worry, I won’t leave for the time being.” He said, “I also want to see the show between Huangfu Hao and Prince Ding to the end.”
Shen Miao’s heart palpitated. Xie Jingxing said, “Don’t you want to see it too?”
“I don’t know what Prince Rui is talking about.” Shen Miao didn’t mean what she said.
Xie Jingxing bent down and picked up the black cloak on the ground. The cloak was wet from the pond water and crumbled into a ball. His expression froze for a moment before he said casually, “Shen Miao, you and I are the same kind of people.”
“Your Highness, you’re noble, and I am humble. We have nothing in common.”
“You’re underestimating yourself.” The corners of the purple-robed young man’s lips curled up. “You’re just like me, born to rule.”
