Chapter 339 Farewell at the City Gate
Xie Lingxiao climbed out of the window, turned around and looked at Shen Jingxuan: "Xuan'er..."
Shen Jingxuan interrupted him: "Go ahead, let Ling Huan take you to the yard first, I will see you off at the city gate tomorrow."
"Okay." Xie Lingxiao responded with a smile.
Shen Jingxuan stood by the window and watched his figure disappear, still not moving at all.
Until Ling Qiong reminded: "Princess, it's windy at night, I'll help you close the window."
Shen Jingxuan said: "Ling Qiong, this time the prince goes to the border, it should be safe, right?"
"Don't worry, the prince won't let what happened last time happen again."
She has always been by Shen Jingxuan's side, so how could she not know what she is thinking at this moment.
The last time Xie Lingxiao got into trouble, she was so worried that she couldn't eat or sleep well, and she kept rushing just to find him as quickly as possible.
Even knowing that she was pregnant did not stop her from going to the border.
She could no longer bear such a blow.
Shen Jingxuan said: "I hope that this time, he can reach the border safely and return to Shangjing City safely."
She stroked her belly gently, wondering whether she should tell Xie Lingxiao the news.
"Princess, the prince will definitely come back safely, and he will watch the little master being born."
"Ah."
She also hoped that Xie Lingxiao would be by her side when she gave birth.
But things are unpredictable, she didn't dare to ask for too much, she just hoped that he would be safe this time.
After Ling Qiong left, Shen Jingxuan couldn't sleep because of the Prince's Mansion and the Emperor's affairs. Now that she knew Xie Lingxiao was leaving tomorrow, she lost all desire to sleep.
The sun slowly rose, and the sunlight shone on Shen Jingxuan's cheek. She narrowed her almond-shaped eyes and raised her hand to gently block the sunlight.
She thought a sleepless night would be very difficult to endure, but she didn't expect it to pass so quickly.
Shen Jingxuan hadn't even figured out how to see Xie Lingxiao off, or what to say, and a night had already passed.
When Ling Qiong and Ling Huan came to the room, they saw Shen Jingxuan still sitting in the same place as last night, and they couldn't help but look worried.
If this continues, not to mention whether Shen Jingxuan's body can bear it, even the baby in her belly will not be able to bear it.
Ling Qiong said worriedly: "Princess, if you continue like this, your body will not be able to bear it."
Shen Jingxuan said tiredly: "Don't worry, pack up and go to the city gate."
She knew that this was not good for herself and her child, but she couldn't sleep last night.
Shen Jingxuan stroked her belly, which was not exposed at all, and sighed softly.
It's time to think more about the baby in your belly.
Ling Qiong and Ling Huan quickly helped Shen Jingxuan change her clothes and do her makeup. After breakfast, they rushed to the city gate.
At this time, the city gate was already filled with people seeing them off.
Xie Lingxiao stared at the city gate for a long time, but still didn't see the person he wanted to see.
The deputy general stepped forward and reminded: "Your Majesty, the time has come."
Xie Lingxiao said: "Wait a little longer."
Although he didn't know why Shen Jingxuan was late, he just felt that she would come.
He felt uneasy about leaving without even looking at her.
"My lord, it's time to set off."
When the army sets out, they always choose the time in advance and never delay for even a moment.
Now that the time is almost up, Xie Lingxiao has no intention of setting off at all.
He looked up at the time and pursed his lips slightly.
Xie Lingxiao looked towards the city gate again, but still couldn't see Shen Jingxuan. He turned around and said, "Let's go..."
The deputy general set off with the army first. When the last team caught up with the people in front, Xie Lingxiao couldn't help but look back.
Looking at the crowd of people seeing him off in the distance, and not seeing Shen Jingxuan, his mouth tightened and he turned and walked away silently.
When Shen Jingxuan arrived at the city gate, the army was about to disappear on the road to the west.
Ling Qiong ordered the driver to continue moving forward and chase the army for a distance.
Xie Lingxiao rode on the horse with his head lowered and his dark brows tightly furrowed.
He didn't know why Shen Jingxuan agreed to come and see him off, but she was nowhere to be seen.
Hearing the sound of carriage wheels behind him, Xie Lingxiao suddenly tightened the reins and turned the horse's head.
When he saw the familiar carriage, his depressed mood was instantly relieved.
Xie Lingxiao raised the corners of his lips, gently pulled the reins, moved his legs slightly, and rode the horse towards the carriage.
Without waiting for the horse to stop, he jumped off the horse quickly and walked a few steps to Shen Jingxuan's carriage.
Shen Jingxuan lifted the car curtain, and Xie Lingxiao stepped forward to help her down.
"Xuan'er..."
Shen Jingxuan asked: "Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
She knew that the incident at the border happened suddenly and the army would be in a hurry to march west.
However, she didn't expect that she got up early and rushed to the city gate, but still missed the time to see him off.
"Well, if we leave early, we can catch the next resting place."
Shen Jingxuan called Ling Qiong and handed the bag in her hand to Xie Lingxiao.
"These are common medicines that you carry with you in case you need them."
These medicines for injuries were all made by her, and some of them were even made by the master when he lived in the mansion.
She didn't expect Xie Lingxiao to leave in such a hurry, otherwise she would have had time to refine more for him.
Xie Lingxiao paused slightly as he took the bag.
He held it in his hand, feeling the weight of the bag, and felt a slight warmth in his heart.
It turned out that she was still worried about him. She was afraid that he would get hurt again, so she prepared so many medicines for him.
Thinking of this, Xie Lingxiao curled his lips and smiled lightly: "I will keep it with me."
"Xuan'er, the palace has made arrangements. Would you like to move back to the palace today?"
He was worried that if he was not in the capital, Xie Zihan or the Queen would do something to hurt Shen Jingxuan.
He spent the entire night arranging matters in the palace, hoping that his arrangements could protect Shen Jingxuan's safety while he was away.
Shen Jingxuan said: "Okay, I'll go back to the palace after returning to the city."
She looked at the familiar person in front of her, who made all arrangements for herself even if he had lost his memory, and she couldn't help feeling a little dazed.
Xie Lingxiao has not changed. Even without his memories, he still cares about his own safety.
After hearing Shen Jingxuan's words, Xie Lingxiao slowly let go of the worry in his heart.
He didn't care whether he was tired after a night of work, nor did he worry about his safety during this long journey to the border. He was only worried that Shen Jingxuan would decisively reject all the arrangements he made.
"Xuan'er, I will report my safety to you every day."
Shen Jingxuan listened to his words, her almond-shaped eyes flickered slightly, and instantly turned red.
The last time Xie Lingxiao left, he also said that he would report back that he was safe.
But after he had been gone for so long, she only received one letter, and then the news of his death.
"I'm waiting for your safe letter."
The two stared at each other for a long time, and Xie Lingxiao spoke again: "Xuan'er, can you call my name once?"
He felt uncomfortable after hearing Shen Jingxuan calling someone's name affectionately last night. After returning home and asking Ling Feng, he learned that the man's name was Yun Qingmo, and he also knew the relationship between the two.
But since then, Shen Jingxuan's voice calling him kept ringing in his mind, making him want to hear her call him in person even more.
"Ah Xiao, be sure to be safe. I'll give you a surprise when you return home."
