Chapter 293 Discussion in the Study Room
Elder Xue glared at him: "If you tell it, I will tell Xuan'er about your ugly deeds."
Shen Jingxuan looked at the two of them with great interest. Thinking that Xie Lingxiao didn't know Song Shao's identity yet, she said anxiously, "I'll go back home first."
Although she really wanted to stay and listen to their past, today was not the right time.
Old Xu stopped her and said, "There's still time. You can go back home after you finish listening to Second Master's talk."
"Second Master, I have something urgent to tell Ah Xiao today. Can I listen to you tomorrow?"
The other three countries sneaked into Beiling Kingdom in advance. She told Xie Lingxiao earlier so that he could make some arrangements in advance.
"The affairs of Xiling Country cannot be rushed. We have to investigate bit by bit. Why rush into it?"
Elder Xue glared at him: "Are you done yet? How can national affairs be less important than you say?"
The second elder hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's go. I'll go to the Regent's Palace too. I can tell you in the carriage."
Shen Jingxuan's eyes lit up when she heard his words: "Okay."
As they were talking, they walked out of the house, and Mr. Xue hurriedly stopped them.
"If you want to leave, go by yourself. Otherwise, I will take the Crown Prince of Xiling with you."
They want to discuss their past and want to throw the trouble to themselves, how can that be possible.
Shen Jingxuan said: "Second Master, I will come to see you another day."
After saying that, she walked past Mr. Xue and left quickly.
Prince Xiling has a special identity, and now is not the time to announce his identity.
I felt uneasy leaving him somewhere else, so I had to place him in the clinic.
After thinking this through, Shen Jingxuan took a carriage back to the Regent's Palace.
As soon as the carriage stopped at Lingxu Courtyard, Xie Lingxiao walked over quickly: "Xuan'er, why did you come back so late?"
He had been worried for half a day in the mansion as there was no news from Shen Jingxuan. Now that he saw her return home, he slowly felt relieved.
Shen Jingxuan asked Ling Qiong to arrange accommodation for Jiang Shaoying, and went to the study with Xie Lingxiao.
"Ah Xiao, the people from Xiling Country have entered Beiling Country." She narrated what happened today.
Xie Lingxiao's eyebrows gradually frowned: "I didn't expect them to come early."
"The previous news was that Xiling Country was making preparations, probably to conceal their presence."
It seems that Xiling Kingdom’s visit to Beiling Kingdom this time has great ambitions.
He couldn't figure out for a moment how big the conspiracy was that made them come to deploy nearly two months in advance.
Shen Jingxuan said: "The Crown Prince of Xiling was seriously injured. I think there is a serious internal struggle in Xiling. At this time, the internal struggle is unfair and he wants to plot other things..."
"Ah Xiao, is it possible that some prince has colluded with Beiling Kingdom?"
It is said in the book that the world is bustling with people, all for profit; the world is bustling with people, all for profit;
If it wasn't for profit, why would Xiling Kingdom bother with this?
"If so, what is their purpose?"
Shen Jingxuan thought for a moment: "The internal struggle among the princes is, first, to get rid of the crown prince, and second, to seek help?"
Xie Lingxiao couldn't help but praise Shen Jingxuan's intelligence.
Just letting her know about the situation of Prince Xiling would make her think so much.
"Xuan'er is right. Another point is that if the Crown Prince of Xiling dies in Beiling Country, they will also ask Beiling Country for an explanation."
"Now it depends on whether the emperor agrees to their request."
The crown prince is the foundation of the country and will not be easily deposed and replaced by another, but if he dies, it will be a matter of course.
There are many princes in Xiling Kingdom. Now that the Crown Prince of Xiling has just left, they can't wait to take action. It seems that the internal fighting is fierce.
"Ah Xiao, where is the emperor of Xiling Kingdom? Is his time coming soon?"
Unless the emperor of Xiling Kingdom is about to die, the princes will be so anxious. Otherwise, they should temporarily avoid the limelight and wait for the opportunity.
"I'll ask Ling Feng to send someone to investigate." Xie Lingxiao said.
It is already like this with just Xiling Country. If the other two countries come one after another, I wonder what it will be like then.
Although he didn't care about the emperor, as the regent of Beiling Kingdom, he should know their thoughts even if he didn't participate.
At least there will be a way to deal with it by then.
Beiling Kingdom seemed peaceful, but only he knew that the crisis in Beiling Kingdom was not much better than that in Xiling Kingdom.
There are three other countries eyeing it from outside, the emperor is suspicious from inside, the prime minister and the queen are eyeing it covetously, and the crown prince Xie Zihan is also unable to support the Beiling Kingdom.
If things were allowed to develop as they are, the Beiling Kingdom's changing of its name would be a small matter, but it is unknown whether it will exist in the future.
Shen Jingxuan said: "Ah Xiao, let the Red Flame Temple investigate as well. This will make things much faster."
"Okay." Xie Lingxiao responded.
Shen Jingxuan asked Ling Huan to call Li Luo over: "You tell Li Luo what to do, I'll go see Ying'er."
She had already told Xie Lingxiao what she needed to say, but as for the rest, she didn't know what to do.
When Shen Jingxuan arrived at the side courtyard of Lingxu Courtyard, Jiang Shaoying was sitting in the yard in a daze, and she didn't even notice that she had come to her side.
"Ying'er, do what you want to do and stop daydreaming."
Since she was allowed to be alone with Yun Qingmo today, Jiang Shaoying seemed like a different person.
The smile that was always on his face in the past has long disappeared, and even his temperament has become silent and dull, as if he is no longer alive.
Jiang Shaoying pulled the corners of her mouth stiffly: "Ah Xuan, am I really not good enough? From childhood to adulthood, no one has ever proposed marriage to my family."
"Although Daddy said that they were blind and couldn't see my good, I don't seem to believe it now."
"In the past, I didn't care whether anyone proposed marriage to me or not. After all, those young masters from aristocratic families were not in my eyes."
"But what about now? I am no longer worthy of his attention."
Shen Jingxuan listened quietly, and seeing her eyes turn red, she comforted her, "Ying'er, Daddy is right, you are very good, it's them who have no vision."
She pulled Jiang Shaoying back to the room, and they both lay on the bed, staring at the bed curtains in a daze.
Since this matter concerns Jiang Shaoying and Yun Qingmo, Shen Jingxuan didn't know how to persuade them for a moment.
She couldn't force Yun Qingmo to agree to be with her because of Jiang Shaoying's sadness.
There was no way to persuade Jiang Shaoying to try her best to forget everything that happened today.
All she could do was to accompany Jiang Shaoying quietly so that she wouldn't feel so lonely.
"Ah Xuan, do you think I will meet someone I like again?"
"Why does it have to be someone you like? Someone who likes you will treat you better."
Hearing Shen Jingxuan's words, Jiang Shaoying laughed.
"But I don't want someone who likes me, I only want someone I like."
Shen Jingxuan felt sorry for Jiang Shaoying when she saw her like this.
After hearing her words, Shen Jingxuan suddenly felt that Jiang Shaoying was no longer the same person she used to be.
She is now like Shen Jinghuan back then, who would not look back even if her head was broken and bleeding.
Shen Jingxuan looked at Jiang Shaoying and said, "Ying'er, let go of some things earlier, and you will live a much happier life."
Jiang Shaoying smiled bitterly: "No, if I can't get his love, being happy doesn't seem to be that important."
"Axuan, I won't look back. I will definitely make him fall in love with me."
