595 Giving a Beauty a Flower (6)

“Prince Rui, why are you here?” Princess Ming An finally came back to senses from the shock of Xie Changchao’s death. She seemed to have finally sensed the danger under the night sky. Her heart was beating abnormally fast.

The man’s voice was as gentle and calm as the breeze, but it was also like the snow falling from the sky on Lake Wanli. It looked beautiful, but it made people shiver. He said, “Surrounded by such beautiful scenery, isn’t this place very suitable for a burial ground?”

Xie Changwu asked, “Why would you do this? I have no grudge against you. Can’t you let us go?” Knowing that Prince Rui was here to take his life but he had no way out, Xie Changwu finally couldn’t hold back the fear in his heart and shouted.

“No grudge?” Prince Rui seemed to have heard a joke and said, “You’re really forgetful.”

“Xie Changwu, all these years, you haven’t improved at all, just like your stupid brother,” he said.

Then he slowly pulled off the cloth on his face.

The boat was only dimly lit by the candle, but when this man revealed his face, he was as dazzling as the bright sun. His thin lips curled up into a mocking smile as usual. He looked at the two of them with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

He was the nightmare of Xie Changwu’s life.

“Xie Jingxing!”

Princess Ming An was engrossed in this man’s charming face. She was thinking to herself that Prince Rui’s face under the mask was as mesmerizing as the rumors said, but her thoughts were suddenly interrupted by Xie Changchao’s hysteric shout.

Xie Jingxing? Wasn’t that the son of the Xie family who died on the battlefield two years ago?

“It’s good that you still remember me.” Xie Jingxing smiled, but his originally handsome smile was especially terrifying in Xie Changchao’s eyes. He turned around and was about to run. It was an instinctive reaction, just like how prey would react when it was in danger.

His body was pressed down, and his mouth was gagged. He could not move at all. Princess Ming An was also treated the same.

The pleasure boat was stuck in the middle of Lake Wanli. At midnight, the street was empty. The tavern in the distance was still lit up, filled with singing and dancing. However, what happened on this side went unnoticed.

Xie Changchao and Princess Ming An were held down by the men in black and watched helplessly as the person in the lead turned around and walked out of the boat.

Even on the ice, his walking was steady and graceful, and his voice was as cold as the winter ice that chilled people to the bone.

“Game is over.”

Shen Miao woke up with a start from her dream.

For some reason, her sleep tonight had been restless. At this moment, she simply got out of bed. There was no sound outside, so it must be late at night.

She rubbed her forehead and felt a pain in her head, but she could not fall asleep no matter what. The fire in the room was burning very brightly, but she had a heavy feeling in her chest. After thinking for a moment, she grabbed a cloak and casually draped it over her shoulders. She walked to the window and opened it, wanting to breathe some fresh air.

The window was opened, and the trees in front of the window were swaying. It was still snowing outside, and large patches of snowflakes were falling. Shen Miao stretched out a hand and watched as the snowflakes gradually landed and melted in her palm.

For some reason, she felt a little lonely.

On such a night, unable to sleep, she could not help but think of some things from her previous life, such as Wanyu and Fu Ming.

A small flower fell from the sky and landed in Shen Miao’s palm. Shen Miao was stunned. With the help of the lantern hanging on the tree, she could see clearly that it was not a snowflake, but a red begonia.

In this season, how could there be begonias? This tree did not grow begonias.

Shen Miao subconsciously looked up and saw a person lying on the tree. His hands were behind his head, and he looked comfortable. Seeing that she was looking at him, he lowered his head slightly and looked down at her. He had a handsome face and a playful smile. He raised his eyebrows and said, “What are you looking at?”

Shen Miao asked, “What are you doing here?”

Why was Xie Jingxing sleeping on a tree in someone else’s courtyard for no reason?

“I can’t sleep.” The person sighed and suddenly jumped down from the tree, landing in front of Shen Miao. Separated by the window, one person was outside and the other was inside. He pouted at Shen Miao’s palm. “I wanted to send you a flower, but I was afraid that you were sleeping, so I waited for you to wake up on the tree.”

What nonsense! Shen Miao thought to herself and rolled her eyes at him. Although he was smiling, he did not look like his usual self today.

For some reason, Shen Miao blurted out, “Come in. There are leftover pastries on the table.”
