Chapter 262: Shattered Wishes
Shen Jingxuan and Xie Lingxiao looked at each other, unable to figure out what made her so happy.
Ling Huan seemed to be lost in his own memories. He just smiled and looked at Shen Jingxuan without saying a word.
Xie Lingxiao frowned slightly: "If you don't want to tell me, get out."
His princess was kind-hearted and had indulged Ling Huan into what he is today.
If this was not the right time for Ling Huan to leave, he would have let her return to Luofeng Temple for training again.
Ling Huan came back to his senses and said, "When Lu Jinxuan found out she was pregnant, her expression didn't change at all."
"But she secretly asked her maid to prepare abortion medicine."
"The maidservant beside her had already been Lu Zhenyu's person, so she took the opportunity to prepare the herbs to secretly tell Lu Zhenyu."
Shen Jingxuan and Xie Lingxiao had already guessed what happened next without Ling Huan telling them.
When Lu Zhenyu learns about this, he will definitely go to Lu Jinxuan to ask the reason.
No matter how dumb Lu Jinxuan was, she would have guessed that the maidservant beside her had been bribed by Lu Zhenyu and had already turned against him.
She thought about how every time something happened in the past, Lu Zhenyu would be the first to know about it.
How could he let that maid go easily when he had suffered all that torture for it?
Even if Lu Zhenyu wanted to let Lu Jinxuan rest assured and take care of her pregnancy, he would definitely punish the maid.
After Ling Huan reported the matters to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he went back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to keep an eye on Lu Jinxuan and Lu Zhenyu.
Shen Jingxuan told Chuntao not to disturb her and brought Xie Lingxiao to the space.
Xie Lingxiao was ecstatic about this rare moment of being alone together.
Ever since the two of them returned to Shangjing City from Ningcheng, although they slept on the same bed every night, Xie Lingxiao was still not satisfied.
Shen Jingxuan was ultimately unable to resist Xie Lingxiao's repeated requests and stayed in the space with him for three days.
It was not until the day of Xie Zihan and Lu Jinxuan's wedding that the two finally left and returned to Shen Jingxuan's room.
After she chased Xie Lingxiao away, she opened the door and said, "Chun Tao, come here for a moment."
Chun Tao came to her and said, "Miss, I will help you dress up, and we will leave the house in a while."
Early this morning, she heard from the purchasing nanny that Xie Zihan and Lu Jinxuan were getting married.
She had been waiting in front of the door for a long time, just waiting for Shen Jingxuan to get up.
Seeing that Shen Jingxuan ignored her, Chuntao hurried to the room, first found a light blue dress for Shen Jingxuan, matched with shoes of the same color, then cleaned Shen Jingxuan's face, washed her, tied her hair and did her makeup.
This time Chuntao's speed was much faster than before.
By the time Shen Jingxuan had packed up and walked out of the room, Xie Lingxiao was already waiting in the yard. She saw that Xie Lingxiao was wearing a robe of the same color as hers, and was smiling at her from afar.
Shen Jingxuan raised her almond-shaped eyes slightly, but did not reveal Xie Lingxiao's thoughts.
"You have nothing to do today?"
At this time, shouldn't Xie Lingxiao be playing chess with his grandfather?
Xie Lingxiao said: "Today is the wedding of my good nephew, how can I be absent?"
Didn't Xie Zihan covet his princess without any scruples right in front of him?
Today is his wedding day, and he will definitely give Xie Zihan the best wishes so that he will never forget it.
Xie Lingxiao looked down at the robe of the same color as Shen Jingxuan, and his expression gradually softened.
He stretched out his hand towards Shen Jingxuan: "Let's go, I'll go with you to watch the show."
How could Shen Jingxuan not know at this moment that the dress she was wearing must have been secretly prepared by Xie Lingxiao.
She glanced at Chuntao beside her and said, "Good job, now you can do these things behind my back."
If Ling Qiong and Ling Huan weren't around...
Before Shen Jingxuan could finish her thought, she looked up and saw Ling Qiong and Ling Huan walking towards her.
"Miss, Lu Jinxuan was carried away in the bridal sedan." Ling Qiong said lightly.
It was the first time she had seen someone get married so hastily.
When the prince married his wife, he didn't even have a decent gift, let alone a sedan chair carried by eight people and suona music.
Ling Qiong even felt that Xie Zihan and Lu Jinxuan were too lazy to even put on a show for their wedding.
Xie Zihan only arranged a sedan chair to pick up Lu Jinxuan, and the sedan chair was almost the same as the one used to take a concubine.
Shen Jingxuan asked: "Where is Lu Zhenyu? Didn't he stop it?"
"After Lu Zhong knocked him unconscious and sent him back to his room, the wedding sedan chair went to pick up Lu Jinxuan."
Shen Jingxuan stopped asking questions and looked up, seeing Chuntao looking anxious, her almond eyes flashed slightly.
"In that case, Ling Qiong and Ling Huan will follow me to the Prince's Mansion, and Chun Tao will guard the yard."
After saying this, Shen Jingxuan left without waiting for Chuntao to come to her senses.
When Xie Lingxiao saw her expression, he knew that she was worrying about the dress.
He also gave the dress to Chuntao yesterday and asked her to help Shen Jingxuan wear it today. Of course, Lingfeng's help was indispensable here.
When Chuntao came to her senses, Shen Jingxuan and her group were no longer in the yard.
At this time, Shen Jingxuan had already arrived at the Prince's Mansion, which Chuntao had been thinking about all morning.
Looking at the mansion in front of her that showed no joy at all, she looked at Xie Lingxiao in surprise: "Xie Zihan, don't you even bother to put on a show?"
"I guess he doesn't have the heart to do these things." Xie Lingxiao said.
With his wish shattered, Xie Zihan probably hid somewhere to get drunk to forget his sorrow.
The two of them entered the mansion together and saw that the hall was full of guests.
Although Xie Zihan disdained to give face to the Prime Minister's Mansion, all the civil and military officials in the court were present, but today's protagonist was reluctant to appear.
The Queen sat at the top with an unhappy look on her face, but she had to say some polite words to save the face of the Prince's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"The prince may have some urgent matters to attend to. He will surely show up when the time is right."
"Your Majesty, please do not blame the Crown Prince. The auspicious time has not yet arrived. We will just wait for a moment."
The queen was secretly relieved when she saw that the ministers did not blame Xie Zihan.
The auspicious time was approaching. Xie Zihan, reeking of alcohol and with a grim look on his face, came to the front hall pulling a red silk cloth, the other end of which was in Lu Jinxuan's hand.
The two men first offered tea to the queen, and then hastily bowed to heaven and earth.
The entire process was reduced to almost nothing, and even the auspicious words that were usually said at weddings were omitted.
Apart from worshipping heaven and earth, it is no different from taking concubines in other families.
Even if some mansions take concubines, it would be more lively and festive than the Prince’s Mansion.
After paying homage to heaven and earth, Lu Jinxuan was sent back to the room again. The moment Xie Zihan looked up, he saw Shen Jingxuan sitting not far away.
She was wearing a light blue robe, which made her skin look even whiter. Even her hair was no longer as casual as before. She looked gorgeous and charming.
Xie Zihan hurriedly took a few steps forward, but before he could go any further, he saw Shen Jingxuan looking at her side with a smile.
My eyes followed the movement and what caught my eye were Xie Lingxiao and Shen Jingxuan wearing robes of the same color.
Seeing the two of them with curved eyebrows and eyes expressing their feelings, Xie Zihan's eyes instantly turned red.
He came to Shen Jingxuan regardless of everything and pulled her in front of him.
Xie Zihan glared at her: "Why are you wearing this dress?"
"I know you're angry, but I've been trying to break off the engagement. Why can't you give me some more time?"
As soon as Xie Zihan finished speaking, he felt a sudden pain in his arm and he quickly pulled his hand back.
