Chapter 781 What Don’t You Believe?
Xiao Chen said 'hmm'.
Xie Ying placed the peach blossom hairpin under the pillow, then waved to Xiao Chen, "Your Highness, please step forward and talk."
Xiao Chen didn't understand, but he felt that the little girl was not a snake or a beast, so he was not wary of her and stood up and walked towards her.
Until he came to her bed, Xiao Chen looked at her and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Xie Ying extended his hand with a faint smile.
Xiao Chen watched the sleeves of the pink palace dress slip down, revealing her pale arms, and he was still a little confused.
"Your Highness." Xie Ying looked at his vertical hand.
Xiao Chen raised his hand unconsciously and leaned forward slightly. What exactly was Miss Xie going to do?
Xie Ying raised her bare hand, put her five fingers together, and pecked his palm three times. Then she closed the young man's outstretched hand and clenched it into a fist.
When their eyes met, even though Xie Ying's heart was pounding, she did not shy away, but said seriously: "Your Highness, this is my answer."
Xiao Chen suppressed his pounding heartbeat and frowned slightly. He couldn't ignore the burning feeling in his palms.
Like scalding hot.
He clenched his fists and put them behind his back awkwardly.
Xiao Chen was so smart, how could he not understand that the girl had fallen in love with him...
Xie Ying looked at Xiao Chen. She knew that Xiao Chen must understand her thoughts, but he was so calm and did not show any expression. This was enough to prove that he treated her exactly as he said. He only carried her back home personally because of their fathers' relationship.
He has no feelings for her, whether male or female.
Xiao Chen looked at Xie Ying. She and Qing Chang'an had been engaged for several months. Wasn't there any love between men and women? Otherwise, why would she be attracted to him?
how come?
Everything that happened today was the best opportunity. Xie Ying blushed and said, "From the beginning, I knew that the prince was devoted to Taoism and not greedy for love between men and women. I was afraid of being hurt. It happened that Lord Qing came to propose marriage and promised me that he would never take concubines. So I thought, it doesn't matter who I marry."
She explained to herself, not trying to make anything clear, but just wanted to tell him.
She looked at Xiao Chen, her clear eyes seemed to be a little tearful, "Now, I have been studying in the National Women's Academy for many days, and I found that my thoughts are too pedantic. Marriage between men and women should be handled with extreme caution. I just hurt you unintentionally." After a pause, Xie Ying continued, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will never bother you with what happened today."
Her eyes were determined.
Even if something like today happened, she had reasons and excuses to argue, and even the emperor, everyone would stand on the moral high ground to force this marriage for her.
He didn't know why he felt so depressed; it was a very strange feeling.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty."
Xiao Chen nodded slightly, turned around and left the girl's boudoir.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty."
Outside, there was the sound of servants seeing people off.
Mingzhu ran in and said, "Miss, are you okay?" Mingzhu was worried to death.
Xie Ying shook her head, "I'm fine."
She even felt that today, the collision of blood and love made her grow a lot.
"But you, your face looks red and a little pale," Mingzhu frowned. She had never seen such a rosy and sickly look before. "Miss, why did His Royal Highness Prince Chen come back with you?"
What happened in the end?
At this time, Xie Jiaojiao also got the news. She was still outside the door and came into the room shouting "Sister".
"Sister, what happened to you?" Xie Jiaojiao threw herself in front of Xie Ying's bed and touched her sister's hand. "Are you hurt?"
Xie Ying nodded, "Well, it's a long story."
"Then keep your story short."
Long story short?
Xie Ying thought for a moment and briefly recounted what happened after the rebel was beheaded at the Meridian Gate.
"These two little thieves, isn't it a piece of cake for me to deal with them?"
Xie Ying nodded, "That's right, but His Highness Prince Chen didn't know. So, when he chased after me, I thought he was the gangster's accomplice, so I gave him a roundhouse kick. Who knew that when I was about to kick him, I realized it was His Highness Prince Chen. I wanted to retract the kick, but he pulled my leg to the other side, and that's what happened."
Xie Jiaojiao frowned, "Sister must have used a lot of strength in this kick. If I pull it back temporarily, I might hurt myself. If he pulls me like this, it will be even more serious."
Xie Ying shrugged and said, that’s it.
"But..." Xie Jiaojiao smiled, "His Royal Highness Prince Chen is so kind that he actually sent my sister back."
Xie Ying said: "He actually sent me to the Imperial Hospital first."
"Did you go to the Imperial Hospital?"
"Ah."
"So after he went to the Imperial Hospital and received treatment, he still carried you back?"
Xie Ying nodded, "Yeah." And before she said anything, they hugged each other all the way.
"It seems that sister will get what she wants." Xie Jiaojiao cheered.
Xie Ying shook her head, "No, His Royal Highness Prince Chen is not someone who will be easily moved by emotions."
"People like him won't be moved by emotions at all." His tone sounded a little discouraged.
She had also thought that everything today was fate, but in fact, he was like a god. He loved the world, but he would never have any romantic feelings for any woman.
"How could that be?" Xie Jiaojiao looked at Xie Ying, "He has brought my sister back, how could he not be moved? He can obviously ask anyone to bring my sister back."
"Because he is my eldest brother, and the emperor asked him to send me back."
"Brother and the Emperor——"
Xie Ying nodded, "Yeah."
Xie Jiaojiao was a little disappointed, but, so what, "I don't believe it!"
"What do you not believe?"
Xie Jiaojiao looked proud and confident, "I will prove it to Sister."
"Don't mess around."
"Do not worry."
Xie Jiaojiao asked about her sister's injuries, then after comforting her with a few words, she asked Mingzhu to take good care of her sister and left.
Mingzhu looked at her young lady, only to see a faint smile on her lips. Even though she had suffered such a serious injury, she was still smiling. It can be seen how happy she was that His Royal Highness Prince Chen sent her back home.
"Miss, do you want the court doctor to take a look at your injury?" Mingzhu asked.
Xie Ying shook her head, "No, Imperial Doctor Lan will come to the mansion tomorrow to help me with acupuncture."
"Well," Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll go get some food for the young lady."
"Ah."
After Xie Ying was left alone in the room, she tried to lift her legs, but the excruciating pain made her give up immediately.
There were tears of pain in the corners of her eyes, but she was thinking about the good fortune of today. Even if her heart was thinking about everything that happened today, the two journeys she spent lying in his arms seemed to be enough for her to savor for the rest of her life.
In the past, she didn't understand why the infatuated person in the storybook was so inflexible. Thinking of her several meetings with Xiao Chen, although she refused to admit it, she knew that it was only a few glances, and she had been attracted by Xiao Chen's temperament and appearance without realizing it.
