Chapter 1133: The Return of an Old Friend (41)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

It was not appropriate for her to scold Xie Jingxing, because Xie Jingxing had not done anything wrong. Instead, she told him how much Shen Miao had done over the past year. She said that Shen Miao guarded Long Ye for him while she was pregnant. She protected the palace and the dignity of the Daliang Dynasty’s royal family with her life. She had risked her life many times at the critical moment, and she did not have to do this at all.

Xie Jingxing listened to Luo Tan in silence and looked at her with a faint smile for a while before saying, “So?”

Luo Tan was speechless. “I told you just so you know.” She felt inexplicably suffocated and flustered, but she couldn’t vent her frustration in front of Xie Jingxingf. As she turned around and ran away, she bumped into someone. She looked up and saw that it was Gao Yang.

Gao Yang asked her what was wrong. Luo Tan glared at him and left.

Xie Jing walked to the pond. He wanted to drink tea, but in the end, he called Eunuch Deng to take away the tea and bring a pot of wine.

Beside this pond, under the moonlight, it was once the place where Empress Xiande and Emperor Yong Le drank the snow brew for the last time. Everyone in the world felt sad that the love story between Empress Xiande and Emperor Yong Le ended in such a tragedy. On the surface, Xie Jingxing seemed to be luckier than Emperor Yong Le. At least he was still alive, and as long as he was alive, anything was possible.

However, what if Shen Miao did not wake up for the rest of her life? What was he going to do with all the time he had in this world? Xie Jingxing was not too enthusiastic about the throne. If he had to lose the people around him in order to get the throne, he’d rather be an ordinary person.

Footsteps were approaching. Xie Jingxing looked in the direction of the sound and saw that it was Pei Lang.

Pei Lang was a gentleman who seemed to have never indulged himself in alcohol in his life. A person like him struck people as someone who was otherworldly and lofty and had great self-discipline. However, he sat down opposite Xie Jingxing and poured himself a glass of wine without being asked.

The wine cup made of jade emitted a faint light under the moonlight.

Pei Lang said, “You’re going to ascend the throne tomorrow. Congratulations.” Xie Jingxing smiled, but he was not very happy.

“What about her?” Pei Lang went straight to the point and asked, “What do you plan to do?”

Xie Jingxing slowly turned around and stared at Pei Lang for a while before saying, “Mr. Pei, are you very concerned?”

“I used to be her teacher.” Pei Lang was unmoved and continued, “As well as friends. I won’t blame you if you have a change of heart. I’m just curious.”

“Oh?” Xie Jingxing lowered his head and took a sip of wine. He said indifferently, “What do you think I should do?”

“Princess Consort once mentioned that she was not greedy for the position of the empress or any power and status. However, if this is her responsibility, she will bear it. She’s not a benevolent person, but she’s willing to take on the responsibility for the people she values the most.”

“These people are the Shen family, the child in her stomach, and you.”

Pei Lang said, “Princess Consort said that her life has always been especially bumpy, and the heavens are very strict with her. She’s never had a good life. Therefore, she never expected anything from the heavens. The only wish she had was for the people she loved to be safe and happy.”

Xie Jingxing’s eyes flickered.

Pei Lang turned to look at him and said with a smile, “She’s never had a good time. She has to spend a lot of effort to get something that others can easily get. Even some small wishes are harder for her than for others. Now, the hard times finally come to an end. Before she could enjoy the good time, she fell unconscious. The heavens are indeed too unfair to her. However, it’s precisely because she has never asked for anything from people that she makes people admire her so much..”
