Chapter 209 A rift
Shen Jingxuan has never been so polite in front of them, and rarely shows her current appearance.
Looking at her expression, Mr. Xue knew that the situation was serious.
He poured a cup of tea and drank it: "Xuan'er, tell me what's going on?"
Shen Jingxuan did not answer but asked: "Master, where is Second Master?"
The master is an expert in medicine but knows nothing about poisons, and both of them are indispensable if Xie Lingxiao is to be cured of the poison.
"He's not here. He went out early in the morning."
"You want to find him?"
Old Xue felt uncomfortable. He just said that he had something to talk to him about, but how could he change his mind in such a short while?
Shen Jingxuan said truthfully: "I had something to discuss with you, but I didn't expect that Second Master was not here."
In the past, wherever there was a master master, there would always be a second master.
Shen Jingxuan didn't expect an accident to happen this time, and it happened when she was most anxious.
Seeing Shen Jingxuan's disappointment, Xue Lao said, "Talk to me first, and I'll tell him later."
Old Xue thought of how Old Xu left mysteriously that morning, and then looked at Shen Jingxuan's expression, and silently cursed Old Xu in his heart.
He didn't go out early or late, but just went out when Shen Jingxuan came to look for him.
"Master, I just came from the Regent's Palace."
After saying that, he leaned close to Elder Xue and whispered, "Xie Lingxiao's old poison has relapsed."
"Although I have suppressed it, there will be nothing I can do if it relapses again."
"I came to see Master because I want to discuss with you how to detoxify."
It has only been a few months since the last attack, and Xie Lingxiao has been on guard at all times to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation.
Although Shen Jingxuan didn't know why he relapsed this time, she guessed that someone had done something to him.
If it weren't for other poisons as triggers, the poison she suppressed would not easily recur.
"Is it serious? How is the situation now?" Mr. Xue asked anxiously.
After all, Xie Lingxiao is engaged to Shen Jingxuan. If they get married in the future, he will have to follow Shen Jingxuan in calling him Master.
If the condition is very serious, Mr. Xue is worried that Shen Jingxuan will not be able to bear it.
"Even though you are awake, you must detoxify as soon as possible. If others find out, the consequences will be disastrous."
Shen Jingxuan knew Xie Lingxiao's situation very well.
Not only were there people in the palace trying to harm him in every way they could, but there were also many people outside the palace who were keeping a close eye on him.
As for Xie Lingxiao now, detoxification is imminent.
"Tomorrow your second master and I will go to check his pulse. You can come and pick us up." Old Xue said, pressing his forehead.
After being busy all day, Mr. Xue finally had a chance to take a break, but when he learned about this, he felt physically and mentally exhausted.
Shen Jingxuan noticed that Mr. Xue was not feeling well, so she told him that she would pick him up tomorrow, then she got up and returned to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.
In Yuxuan Courtyard, Shen Jingxuan stood by the window, looking at the night outside.
Chuntao took a coat and put it on her.
"Miss, the Third Elder sent someone to deliver a message saying that He Jun seems to have had a rift with the Crown Prince."
Shen Jingxuan sat back in her chair and asked, "What's the matter?"
He Jun is Xie Zihan's cousin, and Marquis Anguo has also done a lot for the queen.
According to common sense, no matter what happens, they will not care about each other.
Chun Tao continued, "Because Ling Feng sent the prince to Yanyu Tower, the two had an argument in Yanyu Tower."
"The girl in the room where His Royal Highness was thrown that day was He Jun's lover."
"He Jun wanted to redeem her, so he rushed to Yanyu Tower early in the morning and ran into the prince in the room. He got angry and started fighting with the prince."
Shen Jingxuan didn't expect that Ling Feng would cause so many troubles just by throwing Xie Zihan to Yanyu Tower.
He couldn't help but secretly praise Ling Feng in his heart.
"How is it now? Has it spread on the streets?"
Given the strength of the Anguo Mansion and the Crown Prince's Mansion, I don't think they would allow such a thing to happen.
They will definitely cover up the matter as soon as possible to prevent it from being discovered by those with ulterior motives.
The result not only concerns the reputation of the two people, but is more likely to be impeached by the emperor.
Thinking of the emperor, Shen Jingxuan suddenly looked at Chuntao: "When was He Jun released?"
She would never make a mistake in remembering something like this.
The last time something happened in the military camp, Xie Lingxiao told her afterwards that the emperor had thrown his son into jail in order to protect Marquis Anguo, but did not say how to deal with him.
How long has it been? If Chun Tao hadn't mentioned it, she would have almost forgotten that He Jun existed.
Chun Tao shook her head slightly: "I don't know when it was released."
"There has been no news from him during this period."
He Jun is a person who cannot sit still and thinks everyone is inferior to him.
Based on his usual behavior, he would not stay at home for so long without leaving.
The only possibility is that he was warned by the emperor and was not allowed to appear in front of the world.
Shen Jingxuan tapped the table with her slender fingers.
After a while, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly: "Chun Tao, tell the third old man to spread the news."
"It would be best to have the censor impeach Xie Zihan and the Anguo Marquisate at the morning court tomorrow, and make the incident as big as possible."
"Okay, I'll go right away." After saying that, he ran out.
Seeing Chuntao's happy look, Shen Jingxuan reminded her, "Let them do it secretly and don't leave any clues."
"Yes." Chuntao responded and continued to look for the third elder.
Shen Jingxuan sat alone in the room, thinking about the Anguo Marquisate and Xie Zihan, and was lost in thought for a moment.
"Bang, bang, bang..." There was a sudden knocking sound on the window frame.
Shen Jingxuan suddenly turned her head and saw a figure swaying outside the window.
She opened the window and saw Xie Lingxiao, whose expression had eased a little. She was stunned at the window for a moment.
The moment Xie Lingxiao entered the room, he pulled Shen Jingxuan into his arms.
"How did you come?"
They had just met during the day, but they didn't expect Xie Lingxiao to catch up with them again.
"Look at you." Xie Lingxiao tightened his grip and sat down while holding Shen Jingxuan.
If Ling Feng hadn't done something stupid during the day, he would have been able to spend more time with Shen Jingxuan.
Thinking about what happened during the day, Xie Lingxiao's face turned slightly red.
He didn't like people getting close to him, even Ling Feng, who wouldn't let him come forward to serve him while he was bathing.
Now Shen Jingxuan has seen everything clearly.
"Xuan'er, you have to be responsible for me." Xie Lingxiao put his head on Shen Jingxuan's shoulder and said softly.
Shen Jingxuan's body stiffened, and she suddenly remembered the scene she saw during the day, and her pretty face turned visibly red.
Responsible? Men have always been responsible for women, so how can a woman like her be responsible?
Is it possible that he wants to marry into the wife's family?
Thinking of this, Shen Jingxuan blurted out: "Do you want to marry into the family?"
Xie Lingxiao was slightly stunned, but responded: "Okay."
As long as he can be with Shen Jingxuan, he doesn't care whether he marries her or marries her into his wife's family.
Shen Jingxuan lightly hit Xie Lingxiao on the chest: "That won't do."
If people in the capital knew that the Prince Regent was actually a son-in-law, many people would be shocked.
"As long as I can be with you, I'll do whatever you say." Xie Lingxiao laughed.
Shen Jingxuan stared at Xie Lingxiao, wondering what happened to him today that made him say such heartwarming words.
Sometimes she even didn't understand when the cold and taciturn Xie Lingxiao became what he is now.
"Xuan'er, let's go to the space." Xie Lingxiao stood up holding Shen Jingxuan.
"No." She refused to go.
