Chapter 317: Door-to-Door Troubles
Shen Jingxuan stood at the city gate, quietly watching the figure going away, and did not leave until the figure disappeared.
Ling Qiong and Ling Huan stood behind her, looking at her with red eyes.
They knew that Shen Jingxuan and Xie Lingxiao had a very good relationship and had never been separated.
Now seeing the pain of the two people's separation, they feel sorry for Shen Jingxuan who was left behind.
If it was something else, Xie Lingxiao would definitely not be willing to leave her behind, but at this moment, it seemed as if she was the only one left.
"Princess, it's time to go back home." Ling Huan stepped forward and reminded.
Xie Lingxiao was no longer on the road, and Shen Jingxuan standing here would only make her feel more uncomfortable.
After hearing Ling Huan's words, Shen Jingxuan turned and walked into the city.
Xie Zihan watched all this from afar. Although he was happy that Xie Lingxiao was leaving, he also felt depressed because of Shen Jingxuan's reluctance.
These originally belonged to her, and Shen Jingxuan would only be happy or sad because of herself.
Now the person in her heart is no longer herself, and even these emotions are given to others.
Seeing that Shen Jingxuan had returned to the city, Xie Zihan turned around and left quickly.
The moment Shen Jingxuan, Ling Qiong and Ling Huan stepped into the mansion, she ordered the steward to close the door and refuse visitors.
From that day on, Shen Jingxuan never left the house again. She abided by the agreement with Xie Lingxiao and waited for him in the house with peace of mind.
Three days passed in a flash, and Shen Jingxuan still hadn't received Xie Lingxiao's letter. It seemed as if her heart had followed Xie Lingxiao to the border, and she was always worried about whether he was safe.
Shen Jingxuan heard the footsteps, she quickly stood up to greet them, and when she saw Chuntao, she hurriedly asked, "Is there a letter?"
Chun Tao pursed her lips slightly and said, "No, the steward said the prince wanted to see him."
She had instructed the steward several times that Shen Jingxuan was not going to see anyone, but Xie Zihan seemed determined not to give up until he saw her, and he stayed in front of the Regent's Palace and refused to leave.
"Let him leave." Shen Jingxuan said impatiently.
At this moment, she didn't want to see anyone, let alone Xie Zihan.
Thinking of what he had done, Shen Jingxuan felt only disgust towards him and didn't even want to hear his name.
Chun Tao said, "Miss, I have told him several times, but he refuses to leave and must see you."
Although she had already seen how shameless Xie Zihan was, she didn't expect that he would come and bother her again just a few days after Xie Lingxiao left.
Shen Jingxuan said: "Then let him wait outside and ignore him."
"Miss, he said if you don't see him, he will force his way in."
Break in?
Shen Jingxuan didn't understand where he got the confidence to break into the Regent's Palace.
Even if Xie Lingxiao was not in the palace, he would not be a match for anyone in the palace.
Shen Jingxuan didn't know what Xie Zihan was intending. Thinking of the assassination of the eldest prince, she turned and walked towards the gate of the mansion.
She wanted to see what Xie Zihan's purpose was by breaking into the Regent's Palace to see her.
When Shen Jingxuan arrived at the gate of the palace, Xie Zihan's men were about to break into the mansion.
Her eyes were slightly cold: "Xie Zihan, do you think that you can do whatever you want when Xie Lingxiao is not at home?"
"You may have forgotten that this is the Prince Regent's Palace, not your Prince's Palace."
Xie Zihan heard Shen Jingxuan's voice and said softly, "Xuan'er, you are finally willing to see me."
He had been wandering the streets for a few days and thought that since Xie Lingxiao had left and Shen Jingxuan had nothing to do at home, she would leave.
However, he didn't expect that he couldn't find her after searching for several days. He sent people to check and found out that the Regent's Palace had closed its doors to visitors on the day Xie Lingxiao left the city.
He thought about it for a long time at home, but still couldn't think of a way to meet Shen Jingxuan, so finally he had to go to her house to meet her.
Shen Jingxuan said calmly: "If you hadn't forced your way into the palace, I wouldn't want to see you in my life. Take your people and leave."
She didn't want to waste time here, she still had to go back and wait for Xie Lingxiao's letter.
Xie Zihan said anxiously: "Xuan'er, give me another chance, I will definitely treat you well."
"In the past, didn't you like me? I like you too, how about we get back together?"
At the last palace banquet, he wanted to tell Shen Jingxuan these words, but was interrupted by Eunuch Deng.
Now that the Regent is not at home, this is the best opportunity for him to make things clear with Shen Jingxuan.
Shen Jingxuan taunted, "Xie Zihan, can you please stop disgusting me? When have I ever been attracted to you? Stop daydreaming."
"The only person I like is Xie Lingxiao."
Where did Xie Zihan have the nerve to say these to her?
If it was true as he said, that he really liked her, Shen Jingxuan didn't know how cheap his love was.
When he wanted to break off the engagement with her, Xie Zihan said that he only liked Shen Jinghuan.
On the day of their wedding, he was with Guizhi and was deeply attracted to her, and he went to great lengths to obtain the imperial decree to make her a concubine.
Now you say you like me?
Shen Jingxuan felt that Xie Zihan was dirty, and just listening to his voice made her feel nauseous.
When Xie Zihan heard Shen Jingxuan's words, his eyes instantly turned red: "Do you like him?"
"Xuan'er, don't be angry with me. I know you are angry with me. I have always been the one you like."
Shen Jingxuan cannot like Xie Lingxiao, she can only like herself, and only herself.
In the past, he couldn’t recognize true feelings and pushed her away from him.
But he won't do that this time.
He will get Shen Jingxuan and never let her leave him again.
Shen Jingxuan laughed and said, "I said I never liked you. If you pretend not to understand, that's your business."
"And I only like Xie Lingxiao. I will never leave him, nor will I leave the Regent's Palace."
Xie Zihan listened to Shen Jingxuan's words and suddenly burst into laughter. The more he laughed, the more crazy he became, and he even couldn't straighten his back because of laughing.
"Xuan'er, so what if you don't like me? As long as I want you to, you have to stay by my side."
Seeing Shen Jingxuan staring at him, Xie Zihan continued, "As the crown prince, I will be the emperor of Beiling Kingdom in the future. There is nothing I cannot get, including you."
So what if you don’t like yourself?
What he wanted was never whether Shen Jingxuan liked him or not, what he wanted was to keep Shen Jingxuan by his side.
It doesn’t matter whether she likes him or not. What matters is that he wants to get her.
Shen Jingxuan said coldly: "Are you sure you are the prince?"
"Do you know that when the emperor learns the truth, you may not even be able to survive, let alone become the crown prince?"
For some reason, Shen Jingxuan looked at Xie Zihan and suddenly found that she couldn't understand him.
He clearly knew that he was not the emperor's son, so how could he have the confidence to say those words?
Xie Zihan put away his smile and stared at Shen Jingxuan with a grim expression.
"Xuan'er, I'm giving you one more chance. Tell them that you don't like Xie Lingxiao, but I am the one you like."
Shen Jingxuan said without hesitation: "Don't dream anymore, I only like Xie Lingxiao and don't want to see you at all."
Her eyes flickered as she said, "Xie Zihan, aren't you afraid that Xie Lingxiao will come back and cause trouble for you?"
Shen Jingxuan knew that Xie Zihan was most afraid of Xie Lingxiao. Now that she said this, Xie Zihan would definitely back off.
What she didn't expect was that Xie Zihan listened to her words as if he had heard a huge joke.
Xie Zihan laughed so hard that he even cried.
"Xuan'er, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. Xie Lingxiao won't be coming back."
