752 Affection (1)
The wind at night was really cold. Xie Jingxing only brought Shen Miao to the door of the princess mansion. The Shen familyâs carriage was still waiting outside. Shen Miao wanted to speak, but Xie Jingxing had always left. On the other hand, Mo Qing and Ah Zhi were a little surprised to see her suddenly appear at the entrance of the mansion. Ah Zhi asked, âMiss, why did you come out alone? Where are the others?â
As he spoke, Jingzhe and Gu Yu ran out, panting. When they saw Shen Miao, they heaved a sigh of relief. Jingzhe said, âWe were waiting outside. Yang Xin said that you came out. I thought she was lying. Later, when I saw that there was no one in the room, I came over to take a look. I didnât expect you to really be here.â She looked around again and was puzzled. âWe were guarding outside and didnât you come out. Could it be that thereâs a secret passage in the princess mansion?â
Gu Yu quickly cleared her throat and reminded her not to spout nonsense.
Jingzhe stuck out her tongue and glanced at Shen Miao. Shen Miao frowned and looked a little solemn. Seeing this, Jingzhe whispered, âWhen I went in just now, I saw that Her Highness didnât look too good⦠Miss, did you quarrel with Her Highness?â
Shen Miao shook her head. Thinking of what happened in the princess mansion today, she felt a headache coming on. She climbed into the carriage and said, âLetâs go back first.â She would sort it out when she returned home. After all, what happened today was really beyond her expectations.
Just as the carriage was about to set off, Shen Miao couldnât help but lift the curtain and look back. The dark night shrouded everything.
She sighed softly.
In a corner not far from the princess mansion, the purple-clothed young man silently watched the carriage leave.
Gao Yang no longer waved his folding fan. Instead, he folded it and put it away. He looked at the handsome young man in front of him with a rare complicated expression. He asked, âIs it worth it?â
âThis day will eventually come,â Xie Jingxing said indifferently.
âDonât you think itâs a pity?â
Xie Jingxing curled his lips slightly. The mask covered his face, making people unable to tell his expression.
He said, âItâs just fate coming to an end.â
Gao Yang stopped talking. After a while, he shook his head and patted Xie Jingxingâs shoulder.
A few maids dressed as servants came out of the princess mansion with something in their hands. They poured the things in the basket on the street and threw the basket away.
A maid said with a sigh, âThese things cost a lot of money. If I take them to the medical hall to sell, I can earn some money. Itâs a pity to throw them away.â
âWhat do you know?â The maid at the side glared at her. âWho knows if this thing is poisonous? If itâs poisonous, wonât we be in trouble if we sell it? Alright, stop looking. Letâs go.â
The two maids turned around and returned. There was only a basket left on the ground.
It was the herb for Princess Rong Xinâs heart disease that she âcoincidentallyâ received from the medical hall.
Gao Yang couldnât bear to look at the scene. No matter how magnanimous a person was, they wouldnât be happy to see their efforts wasted. He wanted to comfort him, but Xie Jingxing had already walked far away.
He walked leisurely in the night, exuding an indescribable elegance as his brocade robe fluttered in the night.
However, his back looked lonely.
