Chapter 215: Coaxing Each Other
Shen Jingxuan frowned slightly, not understanding why the carriage appeared here.
When the carriage drove up to them, Ling Feng walked towards them.
"Miss Shen, the prince has woken up and wants to see you." After he finished speaking, he looked at Chuntao behind Shen Jingxuan.
Seeing Chuntao lowering her head and standing there obediently, Ling Feng stopped looking at her and turned to look at Shen Jingxuan.
"Let's go."
It was getting late now. Shen Jingxuan had planned to visit Xie Lingxiao tomorrow, but she didn't expect that he would send someone to look for her.
The carriage drove all the way into the Regent's Palace and stopped in front of the gate of Lingxu Courtyard.
Shen Jingxuan lifted the car curtain and saw Xie Lingxiao standing beside her with a pale face.
Her beautiful eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and her expression instantly became ugly.
Before leaving, the master told Ling Feng to take good care of Xie Lingxiao and to rest in bed for the next few days.
But now she saw Xie Lingxiao standing in front of her.
Shen Jingxuan turned her head and looked at Ling Feng: "Didn't you hear the master's instructions clearly?"
"I have told the prince, but..."
Noticing Xie Lingxiao's gaze, Ling Feng immediately took back the rest of his words.
"Xuan'er, get out of the car." Xie Lingxiao said softly.
Shen Jingxuan taunted, "Your Majesty is indeed in good health. I think this little poison won't be a problem for you."
She dodged the hand that Xie Lingxiao extended and jumped down from the other side of the carriage.
Looking at the angry Shen Jingxuan, Xie Lingxiao silently withdrew his hand, waited for Shen Jingxuan to come over, and entered the study with her.
The moment the door closed, Xie Lingxiao pulled Shen Jingxuan into his arms.
"Xuan'er, it's better if you don't get angry."
Xie Lingxiao tightened his arms to prevent Shen Jingxuan from pushing him away.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Xie Lingxiao explained: "It's not that I didn't listen to Master, I just went out because the carriage stopped in front of the door, just because I wanted to see you earlier."
When Shen Jingxuan heard his words, the anger in her heart disappeared instantly, but she deliberately said seriously: "I'm already here, why are you torturing yourself? Can't you wait a little longer?"
It's not like she came to the Regent's Palace and not to the study, so why would he be so anxious.
But when she thought of what Xie Lingxiao said, Shen Jingxuan felt a little warm in her heart.
Anyone would be happy if a man could think of her all the time and put her first in everything.
"Well, I'll listen to Xuan'er." Xie Lingxiao curled his lips and smiled.
But Shen Jingxuan shouted, "Why don't you go back and lie down?"
Xie Lingxiao let go of Shen Jingxuan and pulled her to sit on the edge of the bed. He obediently climbed up and lay down.
Seeing Shen Jingxuan's expression gradually relax, the worry that had been hanging in the air for half a day finally settled down.
"Have you had dinner?"
It was already completely dark at this time. If it were like usual, Shen Jingxuan should have had dinner long ago.
But she was so busy discussing things with the third elder that she forgot about eating.
"I'll wait for you to eat together." Xie Lingxiao stared at her intently.
Although the two had a few arguments about what happened today, Xie Lingxiao felt guilty.
But he also understood his position in Shen Jingxuan's heart.
But if he compared his safety with Shen Jingxuan's, he would still choose her without hesitation, even if it would make her unhappy and make her hate him.
As long as Shen Jingxuan is safe and sound, that's enough.
"I'll go call Ling Feng."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door: "Master, it's time to eat."
Shen Jingxuan raised her eyebrows and looked at Xie Lingxiao. Unexpectedly, this saved her the trouble of looking for him.
"Come in." He held Shen Jingxuan's hand and was about to stand up, but was pushed back.
The servants filed in, placed dinner on the table and then left.
Shen Jingxuan looked at the table and frowned, "How do we eat this?"
She remembered that the table was placed on the edge of the bed when she was recuperating last time. Why didn't Ling Feng order it to be moved over this time?
"Go and eat, and I'll continue lying down after you finish eating." Xie Lingxiao's dark eyes flashed slightly.
He would not tell Shen Jingxuan that Ling Feng had just signaled him.
Just because he didn't want to lie down all the time, he shook his head slightly towards Ling Feng.
At that time, Shen Jingxuan was watching the servants setting the table and did not notice the expressions of the two men.
Although Shen Jingxuan was unwilling in her heart, she couldn't ask Ling Feng to bring the table over again, so she had to obey Xie Lingxiao.
It would be fine if it was in the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, after all, they were his own servants, but there would be many inconveniences in the Regent's Mansion.
Shen Jingxuan helped Xie Lingxiao up, and they sat down at the table together.
"Eat."
Knowing that Shen Jingxuan must be hungry, Xie Lingxiao put some food into her bowl and urged her to eat.
The meal was spent with Xie Lingxiao constantly picking up food for Shen Jingxuan.
After dinner, Shen Jingxuan reminded: "You should rest well and don't neglect your health."
"If there is anything, tell the servants to do it, and don't tire yourself out."
Xie Lingxiao listened to Shen Jingxuan talking non-stop, his dark eyebrows slightly raised.
It would be great if they had gotten married earlier so that they could see her and listen to her talk every day.
"Axiao, Axiao." Shen Jingxuan continued to call his name.
He was clearly listening to her talking, but Xie Lingxiao started to look at her with a silly smile since some point, and ignored her no matter how she called his name.
"Ah Xiao, if you don't say anything I'll leave."
Shen Jingxuan's words rang out again, and Xie Lingxiao suddenly came back to his senses.
"Xuan'er, what did you just say?"
Just now he was thinking about the days after they got married, and he was so absorbed in thinking about it.
"It's nothing. It's getting late. I should go back." Shen Jingxuan said softly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a look of reluctance instantly appeared on Xie Lingxiao's face.
Although Shen Jingxuan stayed in Lingxu Courtyard for most of the day, the two of them didn't speak to each other except when they were arguing.
After finally bringing her over, the two of them hurriedly had dinner and then parted again.
With a flash of inspiration, Xie Lingxiao came up with a solution.
"Xuan'er, can you take me away?"
Shen Jingxuan was stunned by his question.
"Do you want to go to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion to take care of your health?" Shen Jingxuan asked.
That’s not impossible, after all, his grandfather has been thinking about him for a long time.
My grandfather would definitely be happy if I went back home, but how would I stay healthy if that happened?
"Yeah." Xie Lingxiao responded.
After thinking for a while, he continued, "Take me back secretly. I will recuperate in the space, and it will be convenient for you to keep an eye on me."
Look at him? She didn't want to.
If Xie Lingxiao lived in the space, would he have to let me serve him every day?
Wouldn't that mean she was trapped in that space, and it wouldn't be easy for her to even leave the house?
"No, you just stay here to recuperate and you are not allowed to go anywhere." Shen Jingxuan refused.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was hugged into his arms: "Then can you stay here with me?"
"No, I want to go back home." Shen Jingxuan struggled to get up.
What's the difference between letting her stay in the Regent's Palace and taking him to the Duke of Zhenguo's Palace?
The result is still the same.
Given Xie Lingxiao's current clingy appearance, if she wanted to do something, he would not let her do it easily.
Before Shen Jingxuan could continue thinking, she felt a soft touch on her lips. She looked up and saw Xie Lingxiao's thick and long eyelashes right in front of her.
Xie Lingxiao kissed Shen Jingxuan gently, prying her teeth apart with the tip of his tongue, and the kiss gradually deepened...
