577 Right Hand (6)
Who else could the person in white be but Gao Yang? Gao Yang’s white clothes did not look as clean and new as before, and his face was a little haggard. In the afternoon, Ji Yushu was busy acting and did not look at Gao Yang carefully. Now that he saw him, he said in surprise, “Gao Yang, why do you look ten years older?”
Originally, when Gao Yang and Xie Jingxing stood side by side, his handsomeness was on par with Xie Jingxing’s. Now that he stood next to Xie Jingxing, he was almost invisible.
“Don’t mention it.” Gao Yang said, “I’ve been treating Miss Luo for the past few days. Do they really think I’m just a normal doctor?” As he spoke, he looked a little angry. “I’m not a doctor. I’m an imperial physician!”
“What’s the difference?” Ji Yushu ignored him and looked at Xie Jingxing. “Have you found Fifth Miss Shen?”
Xie Jingxing nodded.
Ji Yushu heaved a sigh of relief and said, “I’m worried sick. If a good person like Fifth Miss Shen was really harmed by someone, I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep well.”
Xie Jingxing looked at him coldly. “Oh? Are you very familiar with Shen Miao?”
Ji Yushu instinctively sensed danger and subconsciously shook his head. He felt that Xie Jingxing’s gaze was unfathomable. He quickly said, “Third Brother, aren’t you friends with her? I’m not worried about her, I’m worried about you. Now that you’ve saved her, I’m very happy. I think Fifth Miss Shen will be very grateful to you.”
“Bootlicker!” Gao Yang said disdainfully.
“None of your business,” Ji Yushu retorted.
Gao Yang took a deep breath and asked Xie Jingxing with a serious expression, “Did Princess Ming An do it?”
In the entire capital, other than Princess Ming An, there was really no one else who dared to do anything to Shen Miao. If others had designs on Shen Miao, they had to take the Shen family into consideration. Everyone knew that Shen Xin doted on his daughter the most. If they wanted to touch Shen Miao, it would be no different from pulling the hair off a tiger’s head. Only someone as brainless as Princess Ming An would do it.
“Not only that.” Xie Jingxing said indifferently, “Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao are also involved.”
“Are they crazy?” Gao Yang could not hide his surprise. “Even if Princess Ming An promised them benefits, how can Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao be so stupid as to use their lives to take the risk?”
Most people would weigh the pros and cons before making a decision. But what Xie Changchao and Xie Changwu did was really not worth it. Gao Yang could not understand. The two brothers of the Xie family even went so far as to become enemies with the Shen family just to climb up. Did they ever think about the consequences?
“They’ve probably lived a comfortable life for too long.” Xie Jingxing smiled coldly. “They’re just two idiots.”
Gao Yang and Ji Yushu were silent for a moment. They could feel a coldness spreading out from Xie Jingxing. After silently mourning for the Xie brothers for a moment, Gao Yang said, “Actually, Princess Ming An didn’t just make a move on Shen Miao this time.”
Xie Jingxing turned around and frowned. “What do you mean?”
“They even tried to scheme against Shen Qiu. Today, in the Shen mansion, I heard that someone used Shen Miao’s whereabouts to lure Shen Qiu out and set a trap for him. After Shen Qiu was alone, they waited for an opportunity to attack him. Those people’s martial arts are top-notch. I think it’s probably Princess Ming An’s doing.”
Not only did she want to destroy Shen Miao, but she also wanted to destroy Shen Qiu. Shen Miao and Shen Qiu were the two juniors of the Shen family. As long as she destroyed these two people, it would be difficult for the Shen family to rise again. Moreover, given the close relationship between Shen Miao and Shen Qiu, if Shen Miao came back to find that Shen Qiu was seriously injured for her, she would probably blame herself for the rest of her life. There was no worse punishment than making one live with remorse. Princess Ming An was indeed ruthless.
Xie Jingxing panicked slightly and asked, “How did it turn out?”
“Shen Qiu didn’t fall for it,” Gao Yang said.
Only then did Xie Jingxing look relieved. However, before he could speak, Gao Yang continued.
“However… Although Shen Qiu did not fall for it, the young master of the Luo family didn’t manage to escape it. Those people lured Luo Ling out and thought that he was Shen Qiu. Luo Ling’s martial arts are not as good as Shen Qiu’s, so he did not end up well in the hands of those people.”
Xie Jingxing raised an eyebrow. “How is he now?”
“Not good.” Gao Yang said, “Even with my medical skills, I’m helpless. He probably won’t be able to hold a sword with his right hand in this life.”
Xie Jingxing was stunned. His beautiful eyes gradually darkened, and his gaze turned cold.
