Venomous Empress Reborn - Chapter 745

745 Trouble (6)

When Shen Miao woke up, Luo Xueyan told her happily that her marriage with the crown prince had been put on hold for the time being.

When Prince Rui and Emperor Wen Hui were chatting, he accidentally mentioned the cities at the border. Emperor Wen Hui was worried that the Daliang Dynasty would make some moves, so at this critical moment, he must not anger Shen Xin. Therefore, he would not mention Shen Miao’s marriage for the time being.

Luo Xueyan said,

Prince Rui mentioned it at the right time. With more time, we can slowly choose a suitable man for Jiaojiao.

Shen Miao naturally knew that Prince Rui did not

accidentally

mention the cities. While she heaved a sigh of relief, Shen Miao could not help but be shocked by Xie Jingxing’s methods.

Xie Jingxing’s methods were not very brilliant, but they were very effective. With just a few words, he made the emperor hesitate and not dare to make a move. The crown prince’s marriage was ruined, and Prince Ding’s plan was ruined.

At the thought of this, Shen Miao was a little angry. The crisis that stumped her was resolved so easily by Xie Jingxing, making her look very incompetent. She couldn’t help but think of Xie Jingxing’s frivolous actions that night and wanted to beat him up.

Luo Tan said,

Little Cousin, why are you holding this book so tightly? You are about to tear the pages.

Only then did Shen Miao come back to her senses. She quickly let go and was a little embarrassed. Recently, when she thought of Xie Jingxing, she tended to lose control of her emotions.

Luo Tan held her chin with both hands and looked at her mischievously.

Are you thinking that Brother Ling, Young Master Su, and Brother Feng are all outstanding and you don’t know which one to choose?

Shen Miao said,

You’re thinking too much.

Just as Luo Tan was about to say something, she saw Luo Ling walk in. Luo Tan stuck out her tongue and shouted,

Brother Ling.

Luo Ling smiled and said,

What are you talking about?

We’re talking about Little Cousin’s marriage.

Luo Tan said loudly,

Little Cousin hasn’t decided who to marry yet, so I came over to ask about it.

Shen Miao felt helpless. If it were an ordinary girl, she would probably be embarrassed.

Shen Miao did not have any reaction. On the contrary, Luo Ling was a little embarrassed. He put his hand to his mouth and cleared his throat. He looked around and said,

Cousin Miao, do you like the pendant?

Pendant?

Shen Miao frowned and asked,

What pendant?

Luo Ling was stunned for a moment before saying,

Yesterday, I…

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a servant outside. He said that Luo Xueyan asked Shen Miao to go to the front hall.

Luo Ling swallowed his words and smiled, asking Shen Miao to go first. Shen Miao smiled apologetically at him and said,

I’ll talk to you later.

When she arrived at the front hall, she found out that someone from the princess mansion was here. Princess Rong Xin sent an invitation to Shen Miao and asked her to go and meet her.

Princess Rong Xin had saved Shen Miao a few times. Shen Xin and his wife were very grateful to her and had no reason to refuse, let alone Shen Miao. She smiled and accepted the invitation, but her heart was unusually heavy.

If it were in the past, Shen Miao would have accepted Princess Rong Xin’s invitation without hesitation. To be honest, Princess Rong Xin treated her well because of Xie Jingxing. When she found out that Emperor Wen Hui wanted to give Shen Miao to the crown prince, she even spoke up for Shen Miao.

But what was so important that Princess Rong Xin wanted to talk to her in person?

Shen Miao couldn’t help but think of that day in the palace when she was seen arguing with Xie Jingxing by Princess Rong Xin. At that time, she called Xie Jingxing’s name. Later, Xie Jingxing brushed Princess Rong Xin off, but Shen Miao still felt uneasy. If Xie Jingxing was someone Princess Rong Xin knew and loved deeply, no matter what happened to him, she could still notice some clues.

Shen Miao’s intuition had always been very accurate. She had never thought that Xie Jingxing could still hide his identity from Princess Rong Xin after bumping into her. Because the consequences were terrifying and unpredictable, she did not dare to dwell on it.

However, escaping was not an option because trouble had already come knocking on the door.

Shen Miao felt that Princess Rong Xin might have discovered something suspicious, but she could not reject this invitation, because rejecting was equivalent to admitting it.
