512 Invitation (1)
Shen Miao was slightly stunned and looked up at Xie Jingxing. Xie Jingxing lived in the capital since he was young and knew every corner of the capital. In addition, with the Exiled Immortal Pawnshop behind him, Xie Jingxing might even be better informed than Fu Xiuyi.
He could naturally know whatever he wanted to know.
“What does this have to do with you?” Shen Miao said angrily, “Prince Rui, are you so free as to worry about other people’s family matters?”
“Family matters?” Xie Jingxing raised his eyebrows and said, “You seem to be very afraid of that woman.”
A trace of coldness flashed across Shen Miao’s eyes. She said, “What’s there to be afraid of?”
“That’s not right.” Xie Jingxing rubbed his chin and glanced at her. Suddenly, he leaned over and stared into Shen Miao’s eyes carefully. He did not feel that it was inappropriate for him to be so close to her. He pondered for a moment and said, “You’ve never been to Liuzhou. Why do you seem to know her very well?”
Shen Miao suddenly looked up and met Xie Jingxing’s gaze. The young man’s face was as attractive as ever, but his eyes were sharp. He said, “It’s same with Princess Ming An. You’ve never been to the State of Qin, but you seem to have a deep grudge against her.”
Shen Miao still did not speak, but her eyes gradually turned cold.
“You’ve lived in the capital since you were young. The furthest you’ve been is Spring City. While you were in Spring City, you didn’t go anywhere. It’s impossible for you to have been to Liuzhou or seen the princess of the State of Qin.” His voice echoed in the room, carrying the faint coldness of early winter.
“What do you want to say?” Shen Miao looked at him.
He said in a low voice, “Are you Shen Miao?”
For a moment, a thin layer of goosebumps appeared on Shen Miao’s entire body. It was as if a chilling wind was blowing down from the top of her head, making her shiver in an instant. She had seen many people. Relying on the experience from her previous life, she knew those people like the back of her hand. However, towards the man in purple in front of her, she seemed to be clueless.
Shen Miao’s impression of Xie Jingxing was that in her previous life, he was just a handsome young man who died young. In this life, when she found out that he was unfathomable, she felt even more afraid. What she did would indeed arouse suspicion, but she didn’t expect Xie Jing to actually suspect her identity as Shen Miao.
She was not Shen Miao, but Empress Shen. Xie Jingxing had a wild imagination, and his imagination was very close to the truth. The discomfort of having her secret exposed made Shen Miao panic for a moment. However, she did not lose her composure. She only stared at Xie Jingxing’s face and smiled.
However, that smile only lasted for a moment before her expression turned cold. “Not everyone in the world has a double identity like Prince Rui.”
Xie Jingxing’s playful smile froze.
It was unknown if Shen Miao was really Shen Miao, but Xie Jingxing was no longer Xie Jingxing. Now that Young Marquis Xie of Lin’an had become Prince Rui, were they still the same person? After all, Xie Jingxing had nothing to do with the Daliang Dynasty in the past.
