Chapter 324 Bad news comes
Shen Jingxuan looked up at Ling Huan and saw beads of sweat on her nervous forehead, and she became even more nervous.
She turned to look at Ling Qiong: "Ling Qiong, you go ahead and talk."
Shen Jingxuan stared at the two of them, and seeing them hesitating, she felt inexplicably flustered.
Now Xie Lingxiao went far away to the border. Although he received a letter reporting that he was safe, she still couldn't help but worry.
Seeing them behaving strangely again today, she just prayed that this matter had nothing to do with Xie Lingxiao.
If it has nothing to do with him, he can face it calmly and think of many ways to solve it.
But if it was related to him, Shen Jingxuan took a deep breath when she thought of it. She didn't know how to face it for a moment.
Ling Qiong lowered his head and said, "It has spread all over the streets. It is said that the prince encountered an ambush on the road before he reached the border, and died...died."
Shen Jingxuan stood up suddenly, her eyes flushed: "Impossible."
Xie Lingxiao is a martial arts expert, so even if he is ambushed or injured, it is impossible for him to be killed by the ambush.
"Princess, don't get excited. It's just a rumor on the street and we don't know whether it's true or not." Ling Huan comforted her.
Ling Qiong hurriedly said: "Princess, don't worry, I have asked the people from Luofeng Temple to continue investigating."
Shen Jingxuan stood there quietly, holding the hem of her skirt with both hands, her almond-shaped eyes filled with tears, but she tried hard not to let them fall.
After trying her best to endure it, she suddenly felt dizzy and her body swayed slightly as she fell backwards.
The moment she closed her eyes, she saw Yun Qingmo's anxious face and saw him approaching her in panic.
“Axuan…” Yun Qingmo stepped forward quickly, but was unable to support her limp body.
Ling Qiong and Ling Huan supported Shen Jingxuan and gently shook her: "Princess..."
When they heard the news, they knew Shen Jingxuan would not be able to bear the blow, but they didn't expect it to turn out like this.
Yun Qingmo pushed Ling Huan away, stepped forward and picked up Shen Jingxuan: "Ah Xuan, wake up."
He hurriedly put Shen Jingxuan on the bed and called her name softly.
In the afternoon, he heard rumors on the street and became worried about Shen Jingxuan. In the end, he was still worried and hurried to the palace.
Based on his understanding of Shen Jingxuan, it was only a matter of time before he found out about this. He wanted to be with her when she was most sad.
Even if the two of them didn't say anything, even if Shen Jingxuan didn't even look at him, it would be fine as long as he just stayed with her quietly.
Ling Qiong and Ling Huan paced back and forth in the study anxiously. Seeing Yun Qingmo taking care of Shen Jingxuan beside her, they were unable to help for a while.
"Go get a doctor." Yun Qingmo said anxiously.
Ling Qiong and Ling Huan looked at each other, and Ling Huan walked out quickly.
After a while, Ling Huan came to the study again, holding Old Xue in his hand.
Old Xue glared at Ling Huan and walked towards the edge of the bed with unsteady steps.
If he wasn't worried about Shen Jingxuan's safety at this moment, he would not have let Ling Huan go easily.
Ling Qiong looked at Mr. Xue's expression, then looked at Ling Huan. Seeing her looking at her and sticking out her tongue, she couldn't help but glare at her.
Just by looking at her appearance, Ling Qiong knew how Ling Huan brought Mr. Xue to the mansion.
Yun Qingmo saw Elder Xue coming and gave up his seat: "Elder Xue, please go check on Axuan's condition."
He had called Shen Jingxuan for a long time, but she didn't wake up, and he became more and more anxious.
Mr. Xue put his hand on Shen Jingxuan's wrist, checked that she was fine, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't worry, she's just angry and..."
Elder Xue glanced at Yun Qingmo and continued, "It's nothing serious. She will wake up soon."
If he had known about this before, he would have told Yun Qingmo that Shen Jingxuan was pregnant. After all, he knew that given their relationship, Yun Qingmo would keep it a secret.
But now that the news about Xie Lingxiao has spread, no one knows what will happen. The fewer people who know about this, the better.
Even though they met Mr. Shen today, he and Mr. Xu kept their mouths shut and didn't reveal a single thing.
Logically, as Shen Jingxuan's grandfather, Mr. Shen should not have hidden this matter from him, but given the current circumstances, it seems inconvenient to let them know too much.
Yun Qingmo saw that Mr. Xue seemed to be hesitant to speak, and although he was confused, he did not ask.
Since he doesn't want him to know, he won't get an answer even if he asks.
Mr. Xue waited in the Regent's Palace for a while, but seeing that Shen Jingxuan was still not awake, he had to leave early.
Yun Qingmo sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Shen Jingxuan quietly.
Looking at Shen Jingxuan's thin cheeks and tightly furrowed brows, he raised his hand and gently smoothed them.
He didn't know how Shen Jingxuan took care of himself after Xie Lingxiao left, nor did he know what happened that made her ignore her own health.
As Yun Qingmo watched, his eyes turned slightly red. For some reason, he felt that Shen Jingxuan had changed a lot this time when he returned to the city.
She no longer had a smile on her face as she used to, nor did she look sad as she used to.
This meeting was like returning to the first time they met. She had a cold face and spoke very little, even when facing herself, she spoke much less.
Seeing that Shen Jingxuan was reluctant to wake up, Ling Huan became more and more anxious.
"Mr. Xue said that the princess will wake up soon, why hasn't she woken up yet?"
Chun Tao hurriedly asked, "How long has it been? Why hasn't the young lady woken up yet? Ling Huan, why don't you go look for Master Xue again?"
Ling Qiong frowned and said, "Don't wander around anymore, just wait quietly."
She was also anxious, but now that Shen Jingxuan had fainted, they couldn't help and could only wait for her to wake up.
Ling Qiong saw Ling Huan pacing around the room and became more and more annoyed as she listened to her footsteps.
Her eyes flickered slightly: "Chun Tao, why don't you and Ling Huan go prepare some food for the princess? She will be hungry when she wakes up."
Instead of letting the two of them wait in the house anxiously, it is better to find something for them to do to avoid noise in the house.
"Okay." Chuntao responded and pulled Ling Huan out of the room.
Seeing the two people leave, Ling Qiong looked in the direction of Shen Jingxuan and Yun Qingmo, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Even she couldn't help feeling annoyed when she heard the two people walking around in the room, let alone Yun Qingmo.
Seeing that he had been frowning and looking at the two of them, Ling Qiong knew that he had been impatient for a long time, but because they were Shen Jingxuan's maids, she did not scold them.
Yun Qingmo looked at Ling Qiong, nodded slightly to her to show his gratitude, and then looked at Shen Jingxuan again.
Seeing her brows gradually furrowed and she kept calling Xie Lingxiao's name, he called softly: "A Xuan, wake up."
Yun Qingmo called out several times. Shen Jingxuan suddenly opened her eyes and saw Yun Qingmo sitting next to her. She was stunned for a moment.
She stared at Yun Qingmo for a long time, and said in a hoarse voice: "Amo, you came to stay here because you heard the news, right?"
Yun Qingmo nodded slightly: "Well, I'm worried about you, so I came to accompany you."
