Shen Miao and Xie Jingxing suddenly turned around and saw a person stumbling out of the grass. When the person approached, Shen Miao couldn’t help but stiffen and subconsciously look at Xie Jingxing’s expression. However, because Xie Jingxing was wearing a mask, he wasn’t recognized.
That person was Princess Rong Xin.
Princess Rong Xin originally wanted to take a shortcut, but when she approached here, she vaguely saw Shen Miao being pulled over by an unfamiliar man. Princess Rong Xin quickly asked the palace maids to wait outside and followed. If others saw Shen Miao with an unfamiliar man, they would probably gossip.
Princess Rong Xin trusted Shen Miao’s character and believed that she wouldn’t do anything out of line. She was afraid that Shen Miao was harassed by a prince, so she wanted to help Shen Miao out.
She observed far away at first and could not hear what the two of them were talking about. Then, she saw that Shen Miao seemed to be about to cry. Feeling anxious, she walked out and happened to hear Shen Miao say, “Xie Jingxing, don’t go too far.”
The tall figure turned around. It was an unfamiliar young man with a silver mask on his face. He nodded at Princess Rong Xin slightly.
Princess Rong Xin quickly walked forward. Only then did she see that this man was Prince Rui.
When Prince Rui first came to Ming Qi, Princess Rong Xin had seen him once. However, she had never cared about these matters in the imperial court, so she did not deliberately ask around about him. At this moment, when she saw that this person was Prince Rui, she felt an indescribable feeling.
Princess Rong Xin looked at Shen Miao questioningly and asked, “Miss Shen, just now, you called Prince Rui… Xie Jingxing?”
Before Shen Miao could speak, Prince Rui took the initiative to speak. He said, “My name is Xie Yuan. Jingxing is my pet name. Just now, Miss Shen called me by my pet name.”
Shen Miao heaved a sigh of relief. She thought that Xie Jingxing’s reaction was very fast and he could definitely come up with an explanation. When she saw Princess Rong Xin’s strange expression, she suddenly came back to her senses and cursed Xie Jingxing in her heart.
Other than their family members, only the married couple would call each other by their pet names. When Princess Rong Xin heard that Shen Miao called Prince Rui by his pet name, what would she think?
Xie Jingxing must have done it on purpose!
Princess Rong Xin glanced between Prince Rui and Shen Miao before fixing her gaze on Prince Rui.
Although the man in front of her exuded a similar aura as Xie Jingxing, the fact that Xie Jingxing was dead on the battlefield was indisputable. Her heart ached for a moment. Princess Rong Xin suddenly covered her chest and bent down. No matter how long it had been, she could not get over the thought of Xie Jingxing’s death. After Princess Yuqing died, she treated Xie Jingxing as her son.
Shen Miao quickly went forward to help her up, but the purple-clothed young man stood with his hands behind his back and glanced at Princess Rong Xin indifferently.
Princess Rong Xin couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
That’s right, how could Prince Rui be Xie Jingxing? If he was Xie Jingxing, he would not be so cold, as if he took delight in watching the struggles of an unfamiliar person. If Xie Jingxing was still alive, how could he bear to see her in such pain?
