Chapter 55 Amazing Ideas
The sun shines on the earth, and the earth is dotted with stars.
Guizhi listened to the footsteps getting closer behind her, and the corners of her lips gradually curled up.
When she raised her eyes, she said humbly, "Miss, I won't take it to heart. It's nothing that Aqiao slandered me. I won't tell Your Highness."
"What won't you tell this prince?" Xie Zihan approached from afar and only heard Guizhi's last sentence.
Guizhi was frightened: "Your Highness, I have nothing to hide from you."
Xie Zihan looked at Guizhi, and seeing the tears still on her face, his expression suddenly turned gloomy.
He turned around and glared at Shen Jinghuan: "Yuexi, you say."
Yuexi lowered her head timidly: "Your Highness, Concubine Zhi has come to see Concubine Shen out of kindness to seek her forgiveness."
"Not only did they not appreciate it, Ah Qiao also said... and also said..."
"Keep talking. If you miss another word, you'll be guilty as much as she is." Xie Zihan walked to Guizhi and helped her wipe away the tears that had not yet fallen.
Yuexi knelt on the ground in fear: "Aqiao said that Concubine Zhi was shameless and climbed into your bed, and also said that you were Concubine Shen's husband..."
"Not only did Concubine Shen not punish Ah Qiao, she also told Concubine Zhi not to bother with the maid and not to take it to heart."
Aqiao was so frightened that she forgot to beg for mercy and fell to her knees with a plop.
Shen Jinghuan wanted to step forward and say something to calm Xie Zihan down.
But when she looked up, she saw someone glaring at her, and Shen Jinghuan gave up the idea.
She wanted to please the prince as she had done before, but she felt that it was not the right time. Now, she could do nothing.
Xie Zihan roared, "Come here, take this maid out and beat her with a stick thirty times. If anyone is rude to Concubine Zhi again, they will be beaten to death."
After giving the order, Xie Zihan asked Yuexi to watch the guards fight, and then go back to report after the fight.
He picked up Guizhi and returned to the study.
Guizhi lay on his shoulder and blinked in Yuexi's direction, but Yuexi raised her head proudly.
She couldn't remember how many times she had come to Shen Jinghuan's yard, but she came here almost every day.
Shen Jinghuan rarely goes out, and even when they meet occasionally, it doesn't spark much.
I didn’t expect that this time I would not only succeed, but also gain something extra.
Shen Jingxuan didn't know what was happening with Shen Jinghuan and Guizhi. All she could think about now was leaving.
Being alone with Xie Lingxiao every day made her long-calm heart become restless.
What happened in her previous life has long been a knot in her heart.
Shen Jingxuan didn't want to, didn't want to be trapped again because of this short-lived warmth.
What I don’t want even more is to let myself get hurt, to let the high wall that I built with great difficulty collapse, and to reveal scars that have never been repaired.
The solution to all this is to leave.
Only by never touching the scar can she forget the pain of being injured.
Shen Jingxuan stared at the roof with lifeless eyes, and her face turned red when she thought of Xie Lingxiao's personal care in the past few days.
She stood up quickly and clenched her fists as if she had made up her mind. She couldn't go on like this, she had to leave.
When Xie Lingxiao came in, he saw Shen Jingxuan clenching her fists and pursing her lips.
"But does the wound hurt?" Xie Lingxiao sat next to Shen Jingxuan.
Shen Jingxuan glanced at him: "Xie Lingxiao, when are we leaving?"
"When you recover from your injury, we'll leave."
"Can't we leave earlier? I'm fine now." In order to make sure that she had recovered, Shen Jingxuan deliberately raised her hands and waved a few times.
Thinking about leaving, Xie Lingxiao felt particularly uncomfortable for some reason.
Thinking of this, Xie Lingxiao was reluctant to leave: "Wait a few more days, we'll leave when you're well again."
Leaving means separation, and thinking about how long it will take before they meet again, Xie Lingxiao actually doesn't want to be separated from her.
He thought that it would be nice if he could live like this forever and be with her forever.
Such a comfortable life makes people yearn for and be obsessed with it.
Xie Lingxiao was frightened by his own thoughts and hurriedly got up and left.
He came to the yard and enjoyed the breeze for a while before he slowly calmed down.
Thinking of what Ling Feng had said before, Xie Lingxiao was stunned for a moment.
Is this what Ling Feng meant by love? Does he really like Shen Jingxuan?
Ling Feng didn't know that his master suddenly thought of him, and he was so anxious at this moment.
After Xie Lingxiao fell off the cliff, they killed everyone on it.
Because it was dark, they had to work hard to find a way to the bottom of the cliff.
Looking at the empty bottom of the cliff, Ling Feng and several guards were confused. Where was their master?
There was no body, which meant that their master was still alive, but he had not joined them and was nowhere to be found.
The few of them searched almost all the dense forest, but still couldn't find Xie Lingxiao, so they had to move on and arrived at Ningcheng.
"No news from the master yet?" Ling Feng frowned and sat on the chair.
"No, no news at all." The guards were puzzled. It was impossible for their master to leave them no news at all.
Ling Feng said: "Keep looking. There are only two reasons why you can't find it."
"What's the reason?" The guard looked at Ling Feng.
"Either the master is seriously injured and can't contact us, or he is intact now and doesn't want us to find him."
It has to be said that Ling Feng understood Xie Lingxiao, and Xie Lingxiao really didn't want to contact Ling Feng and the others.
If the message was passed to Ling Feng, Ling Feng would definitely come, and he would not be able to take care of Shen Jingxuan.
Ling Feng gritted his teeth and said, "Keep looking. I don't believe I won't be able to find the master."
The guards dispersed one after another, leaving Ling Feng standing there alone.
He muttered in a low voice: "Master, I am going crazy with anxiety. Where are you?"
At this time, the master that Ling Feng was thinking about was walking with Shen Jingxuan in the yard.
"Walk slowly and don't pull the wound, or it will hurt again when you turn around." Xie Lingxiao instructed.
"Okay." Shen Jingxuan responded and continued walking forward.
Xie Lingxiao didn't realize that during the few days he was with Shen Jingxuan, the amount of words he spoke increased exponentially.
What I have said in the past few days would have taken months to finish.
Shen Jingxuan walked for a while and was stopped by Xie Lingxiao: "Hao Lin, take a break. There's no rush."
"I want to get better soon so we can leave," he said as he prepared to continue walking.
Xie Lingxiao was angry: "Do you really want to leave? Where are you going after you leave? What if you are assassinated again? Are you going to give up your life?"
When Shen Jingxuan heard his words, she forgot how to react for a moment.
She didn't understand why Xie Lingxiao got angry when he mentioned leaving. Didn't he want to leave?
Seeing Shen Jingxuan looking at him without saying anything, Xie Lingxiao angrily walked away.
Shen Jingxuan widened her eyes slightly and looked at his departing back, not knowing what to do.
She was just a little worried about those old men. After all, the current situation in the palace was not good.
As for whether she would be assassinated again in the future, she never thought about it.
The next morning, after Xie Lingxiao had packed up, he helped Shen Jingxuan wash up.
After breakfast, Xie Lingxiao went out.
These days he always follows his old man to the mountains to hunt.
After all, I always feel bad about eating and living here for free.
Besides, the old man is already old, and Xie Lingxiao's joining makes him feel a lot more relaxed.
Shen Jingxuan sat in the yard in a daze. Thinking about how Xie Lingxiao was angry and unwilling to leave when she proposed to leave, she frowned.
Half an hour later, Shen Jingxuan's eyes lit up: "There is a way."
Her face was all smiles.
Not knowing what she was thinking of, Shen Jingxuan quickly walked back to the room.
