Chapter 243 Inexplicable Action
Shen Jingxuan was sitting on the couch. Chuntao poured her a cup of tea after she came in.
"Miss, aren't you curious about what Guizhi said in the letter?"
Shen Jingxuan took a sip of tea: "If you are not curious, then you won't tell me?"
Chuntao would ask this question every time there was news. Did she really think that everything would arouse her curiosity?
"I just think that the young lady is different from others. If others knew that someone had passed on the message, they would definitely be curious and ask." Chuntao said.
Shen Jingxuan sneered: "It depends on what it is. The news from Guizhi must be about the Prince's Mansion. I don't take the Prince's Mansion's affairs to heart."
Instead of spending so much time caring about the affairs of the Prince's Mansion, she would rather use that time for other things. Even if it means lying on the couch and wasting time, she would not care.
"That's right. Apart from Guizhi, the others in the Prince's Mansion are not worth mentioning."
Chun Tao hesitated for a moment and continued, "Miss, Guizhi said that the prince went crazy when he returned home in the evening."
"If there was anything in the past, as long as Guizhi was by his side, he would still be able to control it. But today is different."
"After returning home, he drove the servants away, went crazy in the study, and smashed everything in the study all over the floor."
"Even when Guizhi went there, she was driven out by the prince, who said that the prince looked fierce and as if he wanted to kill someone."
Shen Jingxuan's brows gradually frowned when she heard her words.
When he returned home in the evening, he had separated from himself and Xie Lingxiao. They didn't say much at that time, so why did he go crazy?
Could it be that the Emperor and Empress would not allow him to cancel the marriage between Xie Zihan and Lu Jinxuan?
It must be extremely difficult to imagine.
How could the emperor agree? If it was an ordinary matter, there might be room for maneuver.
Now, in front of all the civil and military officials in the court, the emperor has made such a solemn statement. How can he, the emperor, give in?
What Shen Jingxuan couldn't understand was Xie Zihan.
He has countless concubines and maids in his house, so why can't he accommodate Lu Jinxuan at this moment?
Although the Prime Minister's Mansion is the Queen's maternal family, there are many variables. If the relationship can be strengthened, the support of the Prime Minister's Mansion can be secured.
Thinking of this, Shen Jingxuan's eyes paused slightly.
She was wrong. Xie Zihan and Lu Jinxuan were half-siblings. Even if they did not get married, the Prime Minister's Mansion would not give up on him and would definitely support him with all their strength.
After all, if Xie Zihan inherits the throne in the future, the Beiling Kingdom will have to change its name to Lu.
Shen Jingxuan narrowed her eyes slightly. The Queen and the Prime Minister thought that what they were thinking was really simple.
Even though the emperor did not have any great achievements, he was able to sit in that position for so long, so how could they deceive him?
He was kept in the dark at this time, but it seemed that this was only temporary.
There is no wall that is completely airtight in the world, it’s just that the wind has not yet reached the emperor’s ears.
"What else did Guizhi say?" Shen Jingxuan asked.
Since Guizhi delivered the message, she would not just talk about these things, but must have brought something important along with it.
Chun Tao said, "Guizhi said that the prince has been different these days. He has dismissed all the concubines and maids in the mansion. Now there are only her and Shen Jinghuan in the mansion."
Shen Jinghuan?
If Chuntao hadn't mentioned it at this time, she would have almost forgotten that there was such a person.
"Guizhi, can you tell me why Xie Zihan did this?"
"Guizhi doesn't know either, but she guessed that maybe he doesn't like it anymore, or... he's not able to do it." After she finished speaking, Chuntao blushed and lowered her head.
“Poof…”
Shen Jingxuan smiled and said, "This is what Guizhi said? What about Shen Jinghuan?"
I haven't heard from her recently. Could it be that she will behave herself?
"That's what she said in her letter. As for Shen Jinghuan, she seems to have started to make trouble again recently."
"Some time ago, I went to see the prince every day, made soup for him and delivered it to his study in person, trying to win back his heart, but I haven't done that in the last few days."
Shen Jingxuan thought about Chuntao's words, but after thinking about it, she couldn't find any important information.
No matter how crazy Xie Zihan goes or how he messes up, it has nothing to do with her, and she doesn't care about Shen Jinghuan's life or death.
As long as the two of them don't provoke her or cause any trouble in front of her, she will ignore them.
Shen Jingxuan said: "Guizhi didn't say what she wanted to do in the message? This information is of no use to us."
"She wants to ask the young lady, Xie Zihan wants to break off the engagement with Lu Jinxuan, does she need to do anything? Or Shen Jinghuan, can she continue to take revenge?"
After hearing Chuntao's words, Shen Jingxuan paused for a moment: "She has always let Shen Jinghuan go and never sought revenge?"
"No, ever since the affair between Shen Jinghuan and Li Xu was exposed, Shen Jinghuan has been locked up. Although she was released later, she has not done anything."
Shen Jingxuan didn't understand why Guizhi didn't take revenge despite such a good opportunity, but now she was asking about it.
When did she say that revenge was not allowed, and when did she say that her opinion needed to be sought?
"Let her do what she wants. It's up to her to make her own decisions on such matters."
"As for the matter between Xie Zihan and Lu Jinxuan, tell her not to worry about it. Xie Zihan can't cancel the engagement."
When the affair between Li Xu and Shen Jinghuan was exposed, that was when Shen Jinghuan was at his lowest point.
If I didn't think about revenge at that time, would I have to wait until she was in favor again?
Shen Jingxuan couldn't understand Guizhi's situation, and didn't know when she became indecisive.
"Why can't I cancel the engagement?" Chuntao asked puzzledly.
Shen Jingxuan glanced at her and said, "Do you think the emperor's marriage is a joke? How can others do whatever they want?"
The two chatted for a while, and then Shen Jingxuan sent Chuntao out.
I told her the news in a mysterious way, but it took so long and the news I got was of no use at all.
Thinking of Xie Zihan's appearance in the evening and his solemn oath that he wanted to cancel the engagement, Shen Jingxuan's brows gradually frowned.
Dismissing the backyard and refusing the arranged marriage, what exactly does Xie Zihan want to do?
Shen Jingxuan couldn't figure it out so she stopped thinking about it and fell asleep on the bed.
On the other side, Xie Lingxiao couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
After spending a few days with Shen Jingxuan, he seemed to have gotten used to having Shen Jingxuan around.
Now that there was no one around him, his face became more and more ugly.
Thinking of Xie Zihan's confident look, Xie Lingxiao simply stood up and called Ling Feng in.
Ling Feng stood in front of Xie Lingxiao, looking like he hadn't woken up yet: "Master, what happened?"
Seeing Ling Feng, Xie Lingxiao was furious. He lay on the couch and couldn't sleep, but his good guard was sleeping soundly.
Xie Lingxiao said angrily: "Tomorrow, find a way to spread Xie Zihan's affairs. It would be best if everyone in the city knows about it."
Wasn’t Xie Zihan confident that he could successfully break off the engagement?
Then we will see whether he can withstand the discussions in the city and the questioning from the Prime Minister’s Office when everyone in the city knows about it tomorrow.
When the emperor and empress know about it, will he be able to withstand their anger?
