Xie Jingxing said, “Su Mingfeng and I have been friends for many years. He’s smart. It’s impossible to hide it from him.”
Shen Miao felt a headache coming on, but she also blamed Xie Jingxing in her heart. Since this tiger head bracelet had this kind of story to it, he shouldn’t give it to others, alright?
“Then what should we do?” Even though Shen Miao was smart, she did not know what to do.
Xie Jingxing shook his head. “If he finds out, so be it. Don’t worry about it.”
“Won’t this cause you trouble?” Shen Miao frowned and asked, “The Su family serves Ming Qi after all. You’re from the Daliang Dynasty. Perhaps he will think that you’re a spy sent by an enemy country… There will be endless trouble in the future.” For the sake of some benefits, the sisters in the harem could harm each other, not to mention that this concerned the interests of the two countries.
Xie Jingxing glanced at her casually and suddenly smiled. “Are you worried about me?”
Shen Miao was stunned for a moment before saying, “I’m worried about myself.” After a pause, she added, “I’m in the same boat with you now. If you’re discovered, I’ll be implicated and even my family will be in trouble.”
Xie Jingxing found it funny. “Don’t worry, you won’t lose anything for being my ally.”
Shen Miao was used to his arrogance and did not take his words to heart. She suddenly thought of something and said, “Speaking of which, are you really not going to stop Su Mingfeng?”
“How long do you think I will keep wearing this mask?” Xie Jingxing suddenly asked.
Shen Miao did not understand what he meant and did not speak.
“My identity will be known sooner or later,” Xie Jingxing said indifferently. “If it’s not Su Mingfeng, it will be someone else.”
Shen Miao was shocked and puzzled. She asked again, “Then have you thought about what your… relatives will think if your identity is revealed? The Marquis of Lin’an, Princess Rong Xin, Su Mingfeng, and the others…” What would Xie Jingxing’s family and friends think to find out that he was still alive and had become Prince Rui? Even Shen Miao did not dare to imagine what harsh words they would say to Xie Jingxing.
Xie Jingxing smiled casually. “So what if they find out?” He said, “It doesn’t matter to me even if I’m hated by the world.” He looked at Shen Miao and smiled evilly. “I’m not afraid.”
However, for some reason, Shen Miao saw sadness through his smile. She felt that this handsome and beautiful young man was not as heartless as he looked.
Just as Shen Miao was thinking, Xie Jingxing rubbed her head and said, “Don’t take off the bracelet. Since I gave it to you, I know it’ll eventually be noticed.”
Because she was the emperor, Shen Miao actually did not like it when people touched her head. Shen Miao would be unhappy even if Shen Qiu touched her head, but today, she let Xie Jingxing do it.
Xie Jingxing stood up. “I came over because I thought you had something urgent to tell me. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first.” He said, “If you want to find me in the future, ask Cong Yang to do it. He’s your secret guard now. You don’t have to open the window and wait for me. I’ll knock on it when I arrive.”
Shen Miao did not think that there was anything wrong with what he said. It was not until Xie Jingxing left that Shen Miao felt that his words were too ambiguous.
