766 Black-hearted Couple (3)
The thing she asked shocked Su Mingfeng. It was about Xie Jingxing.
Xie Jingxing died on the battlefield in the northern border two years ago. Because everyone in the capital knew that Xie Jingxing and Princess Rong Xin were very close, after Xie Jingxing died, Princess Rong Xin fell seriously ill. Ever since then, no one dared to mention Xie Jingxing in front of Princess Rong Xin, lest Princess Rong Xin thought of something sad.
Unexpectedly, Princess Rong Xin took the initiative to ask Mingfeng about Xie Jingxing.
Princess Rong Xin asked Su Mingfeng about Xie Jingxing’s past and asked him if Xie Jingxing had any secrets. In the end, she asked about Xie Jingxing’s corpse.
Back then, Xie Jingxing was shot in the heart by ten thousand arrows by the enemy army on the northern border. His head was cut off and hung on the city gate tower, skinned, and dried. At that time, the Xie army all witnessed it, so it could not possibly be faked. Later, when they thought of a way to get the corpse back, it was already destroyed to an unrecognizable extent. At that time, when Xie Ding saw Xie Jingxing’s corpse, he fainted. Princess Rong Xin was afraid that she would not be able to take it, so she did not go to look at it at all. On the other hand, Su Mingfeng, Xie Jingxing’s childhood playmate, went to send him off for the last time.
Princess Rong Xin came to ask Su Mingfeng if he was sure that the corpse was Xie Jingxing.
If it were any other time, Su Mingfeng would at most feel a little puzzled. However, ever since he met Shen Miao on the street last time and found the tiger head bracelet on Shen Miao’s wrist, Su Mingfeng had been suspicious and kept an eye on Shen Miao. Su Mingfeng almost immediately confirmed his guess that Xie Jingxing was not dead and was probably still alive.
Su Mingfeng did not understand why Xie Jingxing was still alive but wouldn’t show up. After saying a few words to brush Princess Rong Xin off, Mingfeng fell into his own thoughts.
Since Princess Rong Xin was suspicious, she must have discovered something. Thinking of Shen Miao’s bracelet and Princess Rong Xin’s strange behavior, Su Mingfeng had a bold guess. Not only was Xie Jingxing not dead, but he was also in the capital.
However, what puzzled Su Mingfeng was that there had always been no secrets between Xie Jingxing and Princess Rong Xin, and they were the closest. Why was Xie Jingxing unwilling to tell the truth to Princess Rong Xin? Moreover, why did Princess Rong Xin ask about Xie Jingxing’s childhood? What was the connection?
No matter what the reason was, Su Mingfeng felt that Xie Jingxing must have his own reasons. The most important thing now was to find Xie Jingxing. After finding Xie Jingxing, there would naturally be an answer to all the questions.
Where could he find Xie Jingxing? The capital was not big, but it was by no means small. It was definitely not easy to find a person who was hiding in the dark, especially since this person was quite capable.
Su Mingfeng planned to send someone to keep an eye on Princess Rong Xin.
Princess Rong Xin must know more than him. No matter what Princess Rong Xin was investigating, he just had to observe.
Su Mingfeng summoned a servant, instructing him something.
…
When Shen Miao received Shen Dongling’s invitation, Xie Jingxing was drinking tea in her room. Ever since that night, Xie Jingxing had been meddling in her matters. At first, Shen Miao was very unaccustomed to it, but later, she became used to it. Anyway, Xie Jingxing was very experienced. Even if she did not tell him, he could still find out for himself. In the end, it would still be the same.
Xie Jingxing glanced at the invitation in her hand and said, “Shen Dongling?”
