Chapter 326 Learning the truth
In front of the Regent's Palace, Xie Zihan's face was full of smiles. Even after waiting for a long time, he did not seem to be anxious at all.
Now the news of Xie Lingxiao's death has spread all over Shangjing City. He doesn't believe that Shen Jingxuan didn't know the news.
Thinking that Xie Lingxiao was no longer here, Xie Zihan seemed to feel even happier.
When Shen Jingxuan walked out of the house, the person she saw was Xie Zihan with a smile on his face.
Seeing his happy look, Shen Jingxuan's face was slightly cold: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is visiting today, I wonder why?"
I was still thinking about what Xie Zihan said that day. I couldn't figure out whether he already knew it or he did it out of anger that day.
Now looking at the smile on his face, Shen Jingxuan could even be sure that he must be involved.
Thinking that Xie Lingxiao was heading to the border of Xiling State, her eyes deepened as she looked at Xie Zihan.
When Xiling Kingdom entered the city, she and Xie Lingxiao knew that Xie Zihan and Song Yi had some dealings.
But because nothing else happened before Song Yi left, the two did not take it to heart.
Now that she thought about it, Xie Zihan had spent so much time helping Song Yi find Song Shao's whereabouts. If there had been no deal, she would never have believed it.
Only a few days after Xiling Kingdom left the city, and before Song Yi and his party returned to their own country, news came that there was unusual movement in Xiling Kingdom.
Not long after Xie Lingxiao left, he encountered an ambush. This would have been impossible without the participation of Song Yi and Xie Zihan.
Shen Jingxuan narrowed her eyes and looked at Xie Zihan carefully. If what she thought was true, then the deal between Song Yi and Xie Zihan was to take Xie Lingxiao's life?
Thinking of this, Shen Jingxuan didn't wait for Xie Zihan to speak, and continued: "As the prince, Xie Zihan, you shouldn't be here."
Xie Zihan smiled and said, "Xuan'er, I said I would let you come back to me."
In the past, she didn't like Shen Jingxuan and didn't have to finish what she said to her, but he regretted it.
If he had looked at Shen Jingxuan more at that time, he would not have broken off the engagement with her and let himself suffer from lovesickness.
Now that Xie Lingxiao is dead, there is no one who can hinder him, and he can get Shen Jingxuan as he wishes.
Shen Jingxuan said coldly: "I don't know what makes you think that I will definitely come back to you?"
"Do you think that if Xie Lingxiao is not here, I will do as you wish?"
"Don't be so delusional. It's just a piece of news. Who knows if it's true or not?"
Her eyes were fixed on Xie Zihan, not missing any of his expressions.
Xie Zihan laughed and said, "You don't know whether it's true or not? Xuan'er, when did you become so good at deceiving yourself?"
"I told you a few days ago that the emperor's uncle would not be coming back."
So many people went to ambush Xie Lingxiao, and they were prepared not to let him leave alive, so how could they fail so easily?
"You are so sure. I guess this must be your contribution, right?" Shen Jingxuan said.
Since Xie Zihan has made it so clear, he has made all preparations, and he doesn't care even if he finds out something.
Shen Jingxuan didn't understand who gave him the confidence to do such a thing so blatantly.
"I don't care about the emperor's uncle, I only care about you."
Xie Zihan avoided Shen Jingxuan's questions and spoke irrelevant words as if he was talking to himself.
Li Luo and Yun Qingmo's faces became more and more ugly as they listened to his words. Looking at Xie Zihan's eyes, they wished they could tear him to pieces.
They had never seen such a shameless person.
While saying how much he loved Shen Jingxuan, he was doing things that hurt her.
They don’t know why such people are still alive in this world while those good people end up dead.
Seeing that he refused to answer, Shen Jingxuan turned and walked towards the palace: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince is fine, so you should go back to the palace."
Seeing this, Xie Zihan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Xuan'er, don't go. I have something to tell you."
Now that Xie Lingxiao is dead, he doesn't want to wait any longer and just wants to get Shen Jingxuan as soon as possible.
He couldn't let Shen Jingxuan leave until everything was made clear today.
Given Shen Jingxuan's temper, if she didn't finish what she said this time, I wonder if she will see me again next time.
"Since you want to say it, just make it clear today." Shen Jingxuan turned around and looked at Xie Zihan.
Instead of going back and forth with Xie Zihan, she would rather they come straight to the point and make things clear.
"Xuan'er, now that the emperor's uncle is gone, can you come back to me? Just like before."
"I will go to my father and ask for permission to make you the Crown Princess."
Shen Jingxuan said: "Crown Princess? That's a position that many people dream of. Are you willing to let me do it?"
"Where is Lu Jinxuan? How do you plan to place her?"
Shen Jingxuan suppressed her disgust and continued speaking along with Xie Zihan's words.
She didn't expect that Xie Zihan was so anxious. He was eager to talk about it just one day after the news of Xie Lingxiao's death came out.
"I will take care of the other things, you just need to tell me whether you agree or not." Xie Zihan said hurriedly.
As long as Shen Jingxuan agreed, he could make other arrangements for both Lu Jinxuan and Shen Jinghuan and would definitely not let them get in her way.
Shen Jingxuan chuckled and said, "Why don't you answer a few questions for me? If the answers are satisfactory, why not agree to it?"
She didn't care what Xie Zihan did, nor did she care whether his actions would cause chaos in the Prince's Mansion. All she wanted was for him to admit it himself.
Xie Zihan said: "Okay, I will answer truthfully."
Shen Jingxuan stared at him intently: "Have you been in contact with Song Yi for a long time?"
"Yeah." Xie Zihan responded.
"You help him find Song Shao's whereabouts. Do you have any other deals?"
"Ah."
Seeing that he answered without hesitation, Shen Jingxuan continued to ask, "Your deal is to set up an ambush to kill Xie Lingxiao?"
Xie Zihan's pupils shrank slightly, shocked by what Shen Jingxuan asked, and for a moment he didn't know how Shen Jingxuan knew that.
After a long silence, he said with a twinkling gaze: "Xuan'er, we only want him to not cause trouble in Beiling Country, so that I can complete the task assigned by my father."
Shen Jingxuan looked at him expressionlessly, how could she miss the look on his face just now.
She knew that no matter how bold Xie Zihan was, he would not admit this in public, and she just wanted to test him.
But looking at the way his pupils shrank slightly, Shen Jingxuan knew that her guess was correct. Xie Lingxiao's accident was closely related to Song Yi and Xie Zihan.
Shen Jingxuan said coldly: "In this case, Your Highness the Crown Prince should go back and don't come again."
After she finished speaking, she walked towards the mansion gate despite Xie Zihan's attempt to stop her.
Xie Zihan quickly stepped forward and tried to stop Shen Jingxuan, but was blocked by Li Luo.
"Xuan'er, listen to me."
Li Luo stood in front of him motionless, and no matter how hard Xie Zihan tried, he could not break free from his restraints.
Until Shen Jingxuan disappeared, Xie Zihan said angrily: "Do you believe that this prince will take your life?"
