Venomous Empress Reborn

735 Bed Bam (2)

Princess Rong Xin waved her hand and said, “Why are you here?”

Shen Miao replied, “Her Majesty summoned me to the palace.”

Princess Rong Xin frowned and looked at Xie Jingxing, asking, “Why is Prince Rui here?”

Shen Miao glanced at Xie Jingxing and said, “The young eunuch who led the way had something to do and left. I waited for a long time and didn’t see him, so I tried to find my way out and got lost. I happened to meet Prince Rui here, so I asked him to help me out.”

This was almost a blatant lie. Just now, Princess Rong Xin clearly saw that it was Prince Rui who pulled Shen Miao all the way here. Moreover, Shen Miao had already called Prince Rui by his pet name. The relationship between the two of them was not simple.

Princess Rong Xin was inexplicably a little angry. Back then, when Xie Jingxing brought Shen Miao to the princess’s mansion, Princess Rong Xin thought that Xie Jingxing treated Shen Miao specially. The more she interacted with Shen Miao, the more she liked her. Princess Rong Xin had always wanted to matchmake Shen Miao and Xie Jingxing. If not for the fact that Xie Jingxing died in battle later, this marriage might have been completed.

Now, Shen Miao had a deep relationship with another man, and this man’s pet name happened to be “Jingxing”. Princess Rong Xin was not happy. She also knew that it was impossible for Shen Miao to stay single for the rest of her life for a dead person, but Prince Rui was not from Ming Qi after all. Moreover, Princess Rong Xin had lived for most of her life and was good at judging people. This Prince Rui exuded a dangerous aura and acted strangely. He was not a simple man. It wasn’t safe for Shen Miao to fall in love with this man.

“In that case, I thank Prince Rui on behalf of Miss Shen,” Princess Rong Xin said, trying her best to draw a line between Shen Miao and Prince Rui.

Prince Rui nodded.

“I have many palace maids following me. I’ll take Miss Shen out. Prince Rui, you don’t have to trouble yourself to show us the way,” Princess Rong Xin said. Her attitude showed that she was obviously wary of Prince Rui.

Prince Rui did not say anything and nodded before leaving.

After Prince Rui left, Princess Rong Xin heaved a sigh of relief and asked Shen Miao, “How do you know him?”

Shen Miao did not expect to suddenly meet Princess Rong Xin today, nor did she expect Princess Rong Xin to hear her and Xie Jingxing’s conversation. She couldn’t help but complain that Xie Jingxing’s secret guards were usually sharp-eared, but today, at the critical moment, they slacked off and didn’t even notice Princess Rong Xin.

She said, “I met Prince Rui a few times accidentally. We can be considered friends.”

Princess Rong Xin looked at her deeply and said, “If you don’t want to tell me, I won’t force you to. It’s just that… this person is not from Ming Qi. He might have designs on you. You’re a smart girl. You have to think for yourself.” She was actually afraid that Shen Miao would be deceived by a man.

Shen Miao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. At this point, she couldn’t explain herself. Princess Rong Xin rubbed her chest and panted. Seeing this, Shen Miao asked, “Princess, are you feeling unwell?”

“I had a heart disease in the early years.” Princess Rong Xin shook her head. “It’s been acting up a lot these days.”

Seeing that she was in so much pain, Shen Miao vaguely remembered that in her previous life, Princess Rong Xin also had a heart disease. The imperial physician even advised her not to worry too much lest the heart disease worsen. Shen Miao said, “Princess, you should find an imperial physician to treat you. It’s not good if you leave it untreated.”

“It’s fine.” Princess Rong Xin waved her hand. “I’ve enjoyed everything I should and shouldn’t have until now. I probably won’t live long, and I don’t want to live long either.” Her voice gradually trailed off. “After all… there’s nothing to live for anymore.”
