Chapter 272: Delusion of Breaking Up
Ling Feng looked at Shen Jingxuan with confusion. He couldn't figure out when he had ever ordered Chuntao around.
Ling Feng said: "Princess, Chun Tao is your maid, how dare I order her around."
"Really?" Shen Jingxuan looked at him meaningfully, then left with Ling Qiong and Ling Huan.
After they bypassed Ling Feng, Shen Jingxuan said, "Tell your master that I have my own carriage."
After saying that, she took Ling Qiong and Ling Huan to the carriage of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. After she was seated, the carriage drove back to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
Ling Feng looked at Shen Jingxuan walking away and stood there in a daze for a moment.
What's wrong with you, princess? Why don't you just finish your words and leave?
Ling Feng couldn't figure it out, so he returned to the carriage of the Regent's Palace and said, "Master, the princess took the carriage back to the palace by herself."
The car curtain was suddenly opened: "What did you say?"
In the past, every time Ling Feng was asked to invite Shen Jingxuan, he had never failed. This accident made Xie Lingxiao think more.
He stood up and got out of the carriage, and disappeared in front of Ling Feng in the blink of an eye.
"Master..."
Ling Feng hurriedly stepped forward and chased after him for a few steps. He stopped and thought for a long time, but still could not figure out the reason.
Shen Jingxuan took a carriage all the way back to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. As soon as she stepped into the room, there was a knock on the window.
She seemed not to have heard it, sat on the chair, poured herself a cup of tea and drank it slowly.
Xie Lingxiao stood outside the window and waited for a long time, but the window still didn't open.
Even though he was stupid at this moment, he knew very well that his princess was angry with him.
Xie Lingxiao had no choice but to open the window and come to Shen Jingxuan.
"Xuan'er?"
Shen Jingxuan drank her tea quietly and still ignored him.
Xie Lingxiao stretched out his hand to pick up Shen Jingxuan, but he felt that there was no space in front of him and Shen Jingxuan sat on the chair opposite.
"Xuan'er, what happened?"
Nothing happened when he returned home yesterday. After not seeing each other for just one day, Shen Jingxuan ignored him.
Xie Lingxiao took advantage of Shen Jingxuan's inattention and quickly hugged her into his arms: "Tell me why you ignored me?"
With the beauty in his arms, he felt a little more at ease.
Shen Jingxuan glared at him: "Why didn't you send me the dress openly, but let Chuntao put it secretly in the closet?"
"I just asked Lingfeng to deliver the dress to your house. Didn't Lingfeng hand it to you personally?" Xie Lingxiao gritted his teeth secretly.
What a man Ling Feng is. He actually did such a thing just to see Chuntao, causing his own princess to ignore him for a whole day.
"Chun Tao secretly put it in the room and took it out for me to wear the next day. I didn't know about it."
Xie Lingxiao finally understood why Shen Jingxuan was angry.
She was angry at Chuntao for not telling the truth, angry at Lingfeng for ordering Chuntao around, and angry at herself for not giving it to her in person.
Xie Lingxiao coaxed softly: "I will punish him when we get back. He can't even do such a small thing. I will personally deliver it to you in the future."
It was his negligence that he asked someone else to deliver the clothes to Shen Jingxuan. It was his lack of consideration.
Shen Jingxuan's eyes lit up: "Really?"
She was not a stingy person, but for some reason, she felt uncomfortable when she saw Xie Lingxiao giving her clothes but letting Lingfeng send her off.
In addition, Chuntao's abnormal behavior, putting the clothes into the closet without saying a word and then putting them on her without her consent, made her feel more and more uncomfortable the more she thought about it.
Xie Lingxiao kissed Shen Jingxuan's lips softly: "Really, from now on, when you send something to Madam, your husband will personally deliver it."
Shen Jingxuan lightly hit Xie Lingxiao's chest, her face slightly red as she said, "Be more serious."
"Everything depends on Madam."
After coaxing Shen Jingxuan, Xie Lingxiao looked at her slightly red cheeks and felt instantly happy.
"Xuan'er, what do you think about what happened today?" Xie Lingxiao asked.
Originally, he didn't want to tell Shen Jingxuan, nor did he want to disturb her peace.
But thinking that they would get married in the future and would be the closest two people, he finally decided to tell her.
Shen Jingxuan said: "The emperor has become suspicious and will definitely send someone to investigate."
"I guess he won't be able to find anything for a while, right?"
Lu Zhong and the Queen had been planning carefully for many years, but the Emperor never noticed.
Even though there are some signs of trouble now, they have made preparations for so many years, so how can they just find out what is going on?
Xie Lingxiao said: "Before our wedding, I won't let him find any useful information."
"Now the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Queen are like frightened birds. Some things that could have been completed as soon as possible may have been delayed."
"They have to make preparations for the future, and they also have to find time to deal with the emperor. I don't think there will be any trouble in the short term."
The Emperor's expression today is certainly not as simple as it appears on his face.
Although he comforted Lu Zhong and told him not to take it to heart, the emperor himself had already taken the matter to heart.
I think after the palace banquet is over, the emperor's men will secretly keep an eye on Lu Zhong and the queen.
Lu Zhong and the Queen had already prepared for many years, so how could they give up easily and let their years of hard work go to waste?
Shen Jingxuan frowned slightly: "What did you find?"
It is impossible for Xie Lingxiao to do these things for no reason. The emperor and his men must have done something to anger him.
"The Emperor sent someone to inquire about our situation, and after learning about it, he is trying to find a way for us to cancel our engagement."
"Now that Xie Zihan's incident has just happened, if he issues an order to cancel the engagement, it will really bring disgrace to the royal family, so I haven't come up with a solution yet."
"Lu Zhongjing was instigated by the Queen. They have been patient for a while and are planning to attack you and me, but they just haven't found the right opportunity."
No wonder Lu Zhong and the Queen behaved well for a while. Were they trying to find a solution?
The emperor actually wanted to break up her and Xie Lingxiao?
Shen Jingxuan looked a little ugly.
Two people like each other, and it is clearly their own business, but everyone wants to get involved.
It is said that it is better to destroy ten temples than to break up a relationship.
Are they determined to separate her and Xie Lingxiao?
"So you're going to strike first today? Catch them off guard first?"
"Ah Xiao, if the emperor really breaks off the engagement with you, what will you do?"
Shen Jingxuan stared at Xie Lingxiao intently, waiting quietly for his answer.
Xie Lingxiao said: "Xuan'er, no matter what, we will get married on the appointed day. I don't want to wait even one more day."
"Besides, they want to separate you and me based on their own strength. That's simply wishful thinking."
He has been waiting for so long, and now the day gets closer, the more anxious he becomes, and he always feels that time is passing too slowly.
If someone is really blind and wants to do something out of line with this, he will not let him off easily.
"Do you have any solution?" Shen Jingxuan asked.
Neither she nor Xie Lingxiao were the kind of people who would sit and wait for death.
Even if Xie Lingxiao didn't have a feasible solution, they would not let those people do whatever they wanted.
If they want to break them up, how can they let them go easily without paying some price?
"Xuan'er, don't worry, there will always be a way."
He has been thinking about it these past few days, but still feels something is wrong.
Shen Jingxuan's eyes flickered: "No hurry, there is still some time before the wedding, we can think about it slowly."
If it were in the previous life, as long as two people wanted to be together, they could be together.
But now, it seems like a huge problem, and it is not easy to solve it easily.
