Chapter 90 The Only One in My Heart
Xie Lingxiao sat on the chair, looking at Shen Jingxuan who had just entered the room indifferently without any reaction.
He had been waiting here for several hours, and just as he was about to leave, he heard Shen Jingxuan's cheerful footsteps.
And Xie Lingxiao knew Shen Jingxuan was in a good mood just by hearing the footsteps.
This made him even more curious about what kind of thing could make Shen Jingxuan, who was always indifferent and calm, so happy.
"Are you willing to come back?" Xie Lingxiao asked.
As soon as Shen Jingxuan entered the room, she knew who the visitor was. Apart from Xie Lingxiao, no one else would appear here so late.
"Well, you need me for something?" She saw that the room was dark and walked over to light the candlestick.
The dark room lit up, and Xie Lingxiao looked at the person in front of him. Her eyebrows were curved, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she was looking back at him.
For a moment, he was deeply attracted by the person in front of him, his eyes constantly outlining her eyebrows, eyes and lips, as if he wanted to remember this appearance in his heart.
Shen Jingxuan raised her hand and waved it in front of him a few times: "I'm asking you a question, what are you thinking about?"
She was in a good mood today and did not bother with Xie Lingxiao, but this guy was really weird. He came to her so late at night and just stared at her in a daze.
Xie Lingxiao's thoughts were interrupted, and when he came to his senses, Shen Jingxuan's appearance just now was no longer there.
Seeing her return to her previous appearance, Xie Lingxiao felt indescribable pain in his heart.
What on earth happened that made her, who should have been having fun and living a carefree life, become so indifferent and calm?
Xie Lingxiao asked tentatively: "Where did you go? Why are you so happy?"
Shen Jingxuan looked at him strangely. Why did he ask her when, where she was going, and what she was doing?
She still answered truthfully: "I met an important person. Do you want to talk to me about something?"
Thinking of Shen Jingxuan's appearance just now, Xie Lingxiao felt mixed emotions. He was sure that the man was unusual in her heart.
However, he also wanted to be the only different person in her heart, and Xie Lingxiao gradually felt sour in his heart.
He opened his mouth, then took back what he was about to ask and said, "The Queen Mother has woken up, and she wants to see you."
Shen Jingxuan was puzzled and asked, "Because I saved her? Did they say when it happened?"
"When she woke up and found out that you were the one who saved her, she kept wanting to see you. I will come to take you to the palace tomorrow." Xie Lingxiao replied.
"Tomorrow?" Shen Jingxuan said with some embarrassment: "Can we change the time? I have something to do tomorrow."
Why tomorrow? She had just agreed with Yun Qingmo that she would go to the Chamber of Commerce tomorrow to help him deal with things.
In her heart, nothing is more important than Amo, and he is the only person who treats her well besides the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
Seeing her embarrassment, Xie Lingxiao frowned and asked, "But what's the matter?"
He didn't understand what could be more important than meeting the Queen Mother, and what could have made Shen Jingxuan so embarrassed.
Shen Jingxuan lowered her head and thought about it. If she went into the palace earlier, met the Queen Mother and then left the palace to find Amo, it would be fine. Amo shouldn't be angry with her, right?
She looked up at Xie Lingxiao somewhat unhappily: "Nothing serious, when will you enter the palace tomorrow?"
"I entered the palace early in the morning."
He could see that Shen Jingxuan was unhappy, but thinking of the important person he just mentioned, Xie Lingxiao did not give in.
The Queen Mother really wanted to see Shen Jingxuan, but she was not in a hurry and could postpone it for a few days.
But Xie Lingxiao was also sure that he didn't want Shen Jingxuan to do what happened tomorrow.
His intuition told him that what Shen Jingxuan was going to do tomorrow must be related to the person he had just mentioned.
"Okay." Shen Jingxuan responded and ignored Xie Lingxiao, sitting there alone in a daze.
Xie Lingxiao did not stay any longer and turned back to the Regent's Palace.
The next day, he arrived at the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion early as he had said, picked up Shen Jingxuan, and the two of them went to the Queen Mother's bedroom.
The Queen Mother was in good spirits today. The nanny next to her was feeding her. When she saw Xie Lingxiao and Shen Jingxuan enter the hall, the corners of her mouth curled up.
"Xiao'er, Xuan'er, come to me quickly." The Queen Mother said with a smile.
The Queen Mother treated Xie Lingxiao like her own child. Since her own child died young, she gave all the love she had for her own child to Xie Lingxiao.
She had been ill for some time and hadn't seen Xie Lingxiao for a long time, so she was particularly happy to see him at this time.
Xie Lingxiao stepped forward and took the Queen Mother's hand: "How is it? Are you feeling better today?"
"Thank you Xiao'er for your concern. I'm well now. Look, I've eaten a lot, haven't I?" The Queen Mother gently patted Xie Lingxiao's hand with her other hand.
She raised her head and looked at Shen Jingxuan: "Xuan'er, I want to thank you for saving me."
"I am old now, and my only hope is to see Xiaoer get married and have children. If I don't see that, I will die with regrets."
Xie Lingxiao was slightly angry: "You are talking nonsense again, don't worry, if you live a hundred years, you will see that day."
The Queen Mother laughed. Whenever she mentioned getting married and having children, Xie Lingxiao's face was full of resistance. Could it be that something happened during the time he was unconscious?
It's good that he doesn't resist, which means he has a woman he likes and plans to get married and have children.
"Okay, okay, okay. I'll be waiting."
The Queen Mother extended her hand to Shen Jingxuan: "Come, come to me."
Shen Jingxuan glanced at Xie Lingxiao and walked to the Queen Mother.
She took Shen Jingxuan's hand and asked, "Xuan'er, what reward do you want? Tell me and I will give it to you."
"Thank you, Queen Mother. Xuan'er doesn't want anything. I just hope you are safe." Shen Jingxuan said.
The Queen Mother laughed and said, "Look, what a wonderful child! I wonder who will be lucky enough to marry such a wonderful girl in the future."
The Queen Mother held one of them in each hand and rolled her eyes. "Xuan'er, how about I arrange a marriage for you? I will definitely find you a husband that you will be satisfied with."
Xie Lingxiao felt inexplicably panicked when he heard this. He looked at the empress dowager stiffly, then turned his head to look at Shen Jingxuan.
But Shen Jingxuan said calmly: "Thank you, Queen Mother. Xuan'er is still young and does not plan to get married for the time being."
She calmly withdrew her hand, silently took a few steps back, and kept a distance from the Queen Mother and Xie Lingxiao.
The Queen Mother also noticed the change in Shen Jingxuan: "Okay, when Xuan'er wants to get married, come back to me."
She glared at Xie Lingxiao with a look of surprise, but in her heart she complained about him, saying that he had wasted more than twenty years of his life.
You have only been growing in height but not in brains, and you have not succeeded in this for so long.
In this situation, if I don’t help him, I will probably die and he will still be alone.
Xie Lingxiao was stunned by the empress dowager's glare. He was standing there just fine, why did she suddenly glare at him?
He turned to look at Shen Jingxuan, and saw that she was lowering her head, not knowing what she was thinking. When she noticed his gaze, she looked up at him, her expression even colder than before.
Xie Lingxiao was confused. He couldn't understand why Shen Jingxuan was like this. But when he thought about the fact that the Queen Mother had just said that she wanted to grant her a marriage, he understood.
The two men stayed with the Queen Mother in the palace for a while until she fell asleep, and then they were able to leave the palace.
Outside the palace gate, Qiu You stood there waiting anxiously. She had just been to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and learned that the young lady had entered the palace early, so she came here to wait.
When Shen Jingxuan stepped out of the palace gate, she saw Qiu You, who looked panicked, waiting in the distance. Seeing Qiu You's appearance, she felt inexplicably flustered.
