Chapter 65 Deliberate Seduction
Xie Lingxiao was deeply hurt by Shen Jingxuan's eyes. He never thought that meeting her again would have such an outcome.
"If you want to be my friend, you are not allowed to leave without saying goodbye. Can you do this?" Xie Lingxiao walked to the stone table.
As soon as he saw Shen Jingxuan's eyes, he changed his mind.
He knew that if he continued to say such harsh words, their relationship would be broken and might never recover.
Only then did Xie Lingxiao realize that Shen Jingxuan was sometimes very excited. Perhaps something he had just said had triggered her bad memories.
"It depends on your performance." Shen Jingxuan turned and walked into the hall, no longer paying attention to Xie Lingxiao.
"Hao Lin, if you have any problems, you can come to Luofeng Temple to find me. We will definitely become friends." When Xie Lingxiao saw Shen Jingxuan leaving, he revealed his other identity.
If it wasn't for his intuition that something was wrong and his tone of voice softened, Shen Jingxuan would never see him again, right?
I have to say, Xie Lingxiao is telling the truth, Shen Jingxuan did think so just now.
When in the village, Shen Jingxuan thought that Xie Lingxiao was different from others, and he was different from the two people in his previous life.
They had only met a few times, but Xie Lingxiao was willing to take care of her and had become special in her heart.
Although Shen Jingxuan left alone, whenever she thought of that memory occasionally, it would make her feel good.
But when Xie Lingxiao asked her to repay him, Shen Jingxuan resisted.
She didn't want to go through the experience of her past life again.
Even if she was asked to admit that she was just as bad at judging people as she was in her previous life, she still refused to do so.
If Xie Lingxiao had made the request just now, Shen Jingxuan would have agreed to it.
Similarly, she would also tell Xie Lingxiao that they should just pretend that they had never met and would be strangers from now on.
Shen Jingxuan lay on the couch, thinking about what had just happened, and gradually fell asleep.
The sun is shining and the breeze is just right.
The maid Yuexi came in hurriedly: "My Lady Concubine, I found that Concubine Shen has been acting strange these past two days."
Guizhi glanced at her and said, "What's wrong? Tell me."
Didn’t you stay in bed a few days ago to protect the child? Why have you been restless these past two days?
"Concubine Shen left the house two days ago. When she came back, she seemed to be in a very good mood. She has been out of the house for several days in a row and seemed to be in a very anxious mood."
"Did anyone send anyone to follow him? Do you know where he went?" Guizhi sat up and waited for Yuexi's reply.
"Following him, he said he went to Tongfu Inn."
Guizhi raised her eyebrows: "Tongfu Inn? Is the prince in the mansion?"
Inn? She also wanted to go and see why Shen Jinghuan had been out of the house for so long.
Yuexi saw that Guizhi's mood had improved, and asked curiously, "Yes, are you going to look for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Let's go find His Highness." Guizhi took Yuexi and walked out the door.
As soon as she entered Xie Zihan's study, Guizhi said coquettishly, "Your Highness, you are busy with official duties every day and haven't been with me for a long time."
As soon as she finished speaking, she squeezed into the prince's arms, sat on his lap, and hugged him tightly.
The prince was delighted to see Guizhi's appearance: "Why? Zhi'er misses me?"
"My Lord, would you please accompany me to the street today?" Guizhi shook Xie Zihan.
Xie Zihan raised his hand and scratched Guizhi's nose: "Okay, okay, this prince will accompany you, little devil, today."
Guizhi was so happy that he hugged Xie Zihan and kissed him, then stood up and took Xie Zihan out of the house.
At this time, Shen Jinghuan and Li Xu were at Tongfu Inn, and they were eating near the window on the first floor of the inn.
From a distance, the two of them were talking happily. Li Xu's face was full of doting, and Shen Jinghuan was sitting opposite them, smiling shyly.
This was the scene that Xie Zihan and Guizhi saw when they arrived. It was obvious at first glance that the couple were in love.
Their appearance deeply irritated Xie Zihan's nerves.
If Guizhi hadn't held him back, he would have rushed in long ago.
Xie Zihan and Guizhi moved closer to the window, and no one inside noticed them talking.
Seeing that Li Xu was always looking at her, Shen Jinghuan blushed and asked, "Cousin, why are you always looking at me?"
Li Xu smiled and said, "Cousin, you are so beautiful today that I can't take my eyes off you for a moment."
Shen Jinghuan lowered her head shyly, like a girl who had just fallen in love.
Xie Zihan heard their conversation and there was something he didn't understand.
It was obvious at first glance that Shen Jinghuan's cousin liked her, and Shen Jinghuan knew it and even met him in private.
Seeing Shen Jinghuan like this, Xie Zihan snorted angrily and left in anger.
Li Xu and Shen Jinghuan looked puzzled. They looked out the window. Li Xu was confused, while Shen Jinghuan turned pale with fear.
She quickly stood up and without even having time to say hello, she started chasing after him.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the Crown Prince, please listen to my explanation..." Shen Jinghuan shouted while chasing Xie Zihan.
Xie Zihan pulled Guizhitou and continued walking. She didn't want to see Shen Jinghuan, never again.
He walked faster and faster, and only when he realized that Guizhi could not keep up with him did he gradually slow down his pace.
Shen Jinghuan stumbled and chased after him, but suddenly he was tripped, and his body fell forward for a distance and fell heavily onto the stall.
"Ah..." She screamed desperately, but no one helped her.
Her shouting attracted the attention of the people around her, including Xie Zihan and Guizhi in front of her.
The people around gradually came closer. Shen Jinghuan was about to faint from the pain, and she tried hard to stay awake.
But the pain in her stomach made Shen Jinghuan gasp for air. She tried to stand up several times but failed.
Shen Jinghuan had no choice but to lie down and crawl towards the direction where Xie Zihan left. A trail of blood formed on the ground where she crawled, which gradually lengthened as she crawled.
Xie Zihan watched everything indifferently. Seeing Shen Jinghuan crawling towards him little by little, he pulled Guizhi and turned away.
After an unknown amount of time, Shen Jinghuan's maid found her and took her back to the Prince's Mansion, but Xie Zihan never showed up.
Shen Jingxuan didn't know that her momentary impulse in Longcheng not only made Shen Jinghuan childless, but also made her lose the qualification to be a mother for the rest of her life.
At this time, Shen Jingxuan was very busy. She was pulled away by the great elder to learn how to handle affairs in the hall.
Looking at the pile of messages and account books on the table, Shen Jingxuan was overwhelmed.
She said helplessly: "Old man, are you seeking revenge? There are so many books, when will you be able to finish reading them?"
The elder laughed and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Look and learn quickly. Once you learn it, we won't have to worry about you anymore."
Shen Jingxuan's alarm bells immediately rang. This old guy really had bad intentions. It seemed that he wanted her to take over so that he could be a hands-off boss?
Seeing the Great Elder laughing so happily, Shen Jingxuan lay on the table and refused to get up, and stopped learning.
"You should learn quickly. If you don't understand something, ask. The sooner you learn, the more you can take over the affairs of the temple." The great elder urged.
Shen Jingxuan ignored him and said to the Third Elder, "Third Elder, I will be in charge of the affairs of the palace from now on. You will have more time. Is there anything you want to do?"
"I'm old now, and there's nothing I want to do. I'm just following you to eat and drink."
"Okay, you follow me from now on, and we'll have good food and drink." Shen Jingxuan slapped the table and promised the third elder.
The third elder patted Shen Jingxuan: "You are still a sensible girl."
"Oh no, oh no, little ancestor..." There were hurried footsteps outside the hall.
