Chapter 881 Kill without mercy
Two days passed like this.
Xie Ying also returned to the Imperial Women's Prison, and everything returned to normal.
At lunch time, Jianwu personally came to invite Xie Ying to have lunch together in Gezhizhai.
Jian Wu saw the girl frowning slightly, as if she was a little hesitant. Jian Wu was a little confused for a moment, and he looked at Mingzhu.
Mingzhu lowered her head and didn't look at him.
After a long time, Xie Ying smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go right away." Then he asked Mingzhu to follow him.
When walking past the lotus pond, Xie Ying subconsciously glanced towards Xinglinzhai. The chairs and benches in the courtyard were neatly arranged. It seemed that Qing Changan should be in the house.
After arriving at Gezhizhai, Jianwu said to Mingzhu, "Miss Mingzhu, how about we go to the dining hall to have dinner together?"
Mingzhu looked at Xie Ying, and Xie Ying nodded. Perhaps there was no need to be so hasty in drawing a line between herself and His Royal Highness Prince Chen, as it would make her acting skills seem too poor.
Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief. Perhaps, the eldest lady and Prince Chen still had room for maneuver?
Xiao Chen had come out to greet her. He took the girl's hand and asked, "Have you met Qing Chang'an today?"
Xie Ying shook her head: “Not yet.”
"Do you want me to go with you?" Xiao Chen knew that even if Aying didn't go to find Qing Changan, Qing Changan would definitely come to find Aying!
So, it would be better for him to go with you!
"It's better not to." She and Qing Chang'an have both gratitude and hatred, and the gratitude and hatred can offset each other. It would be fine if they just make it clear.
"it is good."
After entering, the room was filled with the aroma of food. Xiao Chen said, "This is the dish that Jian Wu bought from Wangjiang Tower, braised lion's head, steamed fish..."
Xiao Chen introduced the dishes one by one.
He has a gentle temperament and never has that overly passionate feeling of love, but he is very reassuring.
When Xie Ying saw this, her heart ached instantly. Such a good man, but she was not worthy of him!
God is really playing a joke on me!
Xiao Chen put some dishes into her bowl, and when he looked up, he saw a flash of sadness in the girl's eyes. What was going on?
He put down his chopsticks and held the girl's hand. "Aying, I hope there won't be any misunderstandings between us. If there's anything I did wrong, or if there's anything I need to learn or correct, please tell me directly."
Xie Ying looked at the handsome face of the young man and his doting tone, and her heart ached even more. "Your Highness is good in every way, but please don't be too nice to me."
"Ah?" Xiao Chen was a little surprised, "Why is this?"
Why?
He is so good to her, how can she bear to leave!
Xie Ying lowered his head, picked up a dish with his right hand and took a small bite, "I'm afraid I'll become arrogant because of my favor."
"As long as it doesn't involve murder, arson or harming lives, it doesn't matter how arrogant Aying is." Xiao Chen said.
Xie Ying pulled her left hand away, but the young man held it tightly, even sitting next to her, and served her food like a pearl.
Xie Ying took a deep breath. He was too kind. This tenderness was too precious. In the illusion, didn’t he notice that she had not conceived any children for several years?
"Why are you looking at me like this?"
Xie Ying only gave her a simple look, but Xiao Chen tried to find something to say. His handsome face showed his usual gentle temperament when facing her.
"This time, thanks to Brother Chen and Lord Rong, otherwise, I might still be trapped in that dream." Xie Ying changed the subject.
She felt that looking at Xiao Chen, she couldn't even say those words of breaking up or canceling the engagement, "Your Majesty, eat too."
"I still like to hear you call me brother Chen."
Xie Ying: “…”
She blushed, then met the young man's sincere eyes and shouted with a smile, "Brother Chen, it's time to eat."
"it is good."
He had been testing her carefully, and she seemed to be fine, so Xiao Chen felt a little relieved.
After lunch, Xiao Chen invited her to play Go, but Xie Ying declined, saying, "I have to go take care of my business."
Xiao Chen knew that she was talking about Qing Changan.
In a few days, Qing Chang'an will be transferred out of the capital, so it would be good if they made it clear.
He had just heard Jian Wu coming back, and there was another sound of footsteps that should be Ming Zhu's. "Then you take Ming Zhu with you."
"Ah."
Walking out of Gezhizhai, Xie Ying saw Mingzhu and Jianwu resting in a pavilion not far away.
At this time Mingzhu also saw her and was walking towards her in small steps.
"Miss." Mingzhu called out, and then bowed to Xiao Chen, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Xiao Chen nodded slightly and asked her to stand up.
Xie Ying said: "Didn't I tell you to call me sister?"
Mingzhu covered her lips and said, "I am used to it."
Xie Ying smiled speechlessly, stretched out his hand and poked Mingzhu's forehead, then the two of them bowed to Xiao Chen and left slowly.
Xiao Chen naturally understood that, precisely because Mingzhu followed her after she hanged herself in the illusion, she would naturally treat Mingzhu differently.
Jian Wu said, "Your Majesty, I have tried to test Miss Mingzhu's attitude, but she didn't say anything. I think she knows something, but she is afraid of saying the wrong thing, so she asks without answering."
Xiao Chen frowned slightly, looked at the backs of the master and servant, and said in a calm voice: "I know."
Jian Wu also looked over there, "Miss Xie is going to Xinglinzhai, right?"
"Well, you should be careful. If there is any danger, protect Ah Ying first. As for Qing Chang'an..." For the first time, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in the young man's eyes, "Kill him without mercy!"
Jian Wu was also somewhat shocked. This was the supreme status and power of a royal relative. "Yes, I obey your command."
Xiao Chen turned around and went back to the room.
After Xie Ying and Mingzhu left Gezhizhai, they went directly to Xinglinzhai. When they entered the courtyard, a thin young man came out, "Ah Ying."
His eyes were slightly sunken, showing that he was in great pain these days.
Xie Ying looked at Qing Changan and couldn't smile. "Mingzhu, wait for me outside."
"Yes, Miss." Outside, Mingzhu still felt that calling her Miss was more respectable.
Qing Chang'an looked at Xie Ying and thought a lot in his mind. Is it true that Xie Ying is finally willing to come back to him?
However, before he could feel happy, he accurately caught that there was no affection in Ah Ying's eyes when she looked at him.
On the contrary, it is very cold and distant!
Xie Ying said: "There are some things we should talk about!"
Having said that, Xie Ying walked into the house.
She is not a weak woman, and Qing Chang'an, even though he is a man, does not have much fighting power!
Of course, she would not forget that Qing Chang'an knew some Taoist magic, but he had only just resumed the art in this life. If they wanted to fight, she would not be inferior to Qing Chang'an.
Qing Chang'an reacted and followed Xie Ying into the house.
There are no large pieces of furniture in the house, and it is very simple.
Qing Chang'an poured her a cup of tea first, but Xie Ying didn't even look at it. She wouldn't drink his tea.
After taking a deep breath, Xie Ying looked at Qing Chang'an, "You know everything about our past lives, right?"
Qing Changan didn't expect her to bring this up on her own initiative. He just nodded slightly, his eyes full of hope looking at her steadily, "Yes."
