This person is sometimes annoying, and sometimes very gentle.
Chat as they lie in the same bed, how did she come up with this idea? Xie Xuanchen closed his eyes and let out a lazy âumâ.
âHow did you know that I was locked up today?â
This was way too simple. Usually whenever Xie Xuanchen opened his eyes, Mu Mingtang would be by his side. Even if she wasnât, the moment he moved, Mu Mingtang would run over almost instantly.
Of course, he couldnât say it out loud, but it seems that he felt very happy about it. Xie Xuanchen put on a plain tone and said: âWhen I woke up, the maid outside was extremely flustered, and the head maid also dodged my question to confuse me. I guessed that they were hiding something from me, so I forced them to speak up.â
âWith just a brief glimpse, you could already notice that something was wrong, your senses are so sharp.â Mu Mingtang said in awe. She didnât doubt Xie Xuanchenâs words, and wholeheartedly admired Xie Xuanchenâs sharp observation skills and fast reasoning ability. After Mu Mingtang sighed, he asked again: âThen how did you know that I was at the temple? If they hadnât taken me there, I didnât know that there was such a place in the manor.â
âI just have to ask them.â Xie Xuanchen didnât think much about it, as if he was talking about the good weather today. âI found a sharp weapon and took advantage of it, I told the imperial servants that if they didnât tell me, I would kill them, so they blurted everything.â
Mu Mingtang was silent. She didnât think this was a casual question, presumably those maids who were threatened by Xie Xuanchen by the throat too, wouldnât not think that it was a casual question.
Xie Xuanchen talked for a while, and was reminded of a question: âThey took you away, what did they ask you?â
âNothing, they just asked me when did you wake up and how the lock was opened.â
After Mu Mingtang finished speaking, she stayed quiet for a long time, and quietly added: âI didnât say anything.â
âI know.â Xie Xuanchen exhaled, and there seemed to be a hint of self-mocking in his tone. âYou didnât need to hold on and say that you didnât know anything, these people are here for me, it has nothing to do with you, you can say whatever you want. I was unconscious so they couldnât interrogate me, so they looked for you. Iâll accept the consequences of my own wrong doings. Iâm weak if I get a woman involved.â
Xie Xuanchenâs tone sounded very bad. Mu Mingtang didnât know what he was thinking about, so she comforted him softly: âActually, itâs okay. The Sun official is fierce, but in fact she just wanted to scare me, so that Iâll give in to her. Those needles and the bowl of medicine, they wonât dare to really use it on me.â
Xie Xuanchen chuckled softly, and said sarcastically: âNot necessarily. The needle may be there just to scare you, but that bowl of soup medicine might just be the real deal. They really wanted me to die, not only did they want me to die, but they also wanted me to be the last of my line.â
These words involved the Emperor and Empress Dowager, Mu Mingtang didnât dare to answer it rashly. After a pause, she said in a low voice, âNo, youâll live in good health and peace, with children and grandchildren of your line, your name will go down in history for your legacy, and youâll live a better life than everyone else.â
âMy name will go down in history?â Xie Xuanchen mocked. âMy bad reputation may also go down in history. Itâs not just a life in vain, Iâll be scolded and cursed at for thousands of years.â
When it comes to this topic, he became very extreme and sensitive, he was disgusted about himself. Mu Mingtang felt uncomfortable, and simply got up and looked at Xie Xuanchen as she propped herself up: âMy lord, what happened back then? They all said that you killed your adjutant and guards, but when you went crazy a few days ago, you did hurt many guards, but none of them died. Youâre not a person who will take the initiative to hurt someone, let alone kill innocent people. Did something else happen that year?â
