Chapter 403: Ancient Dimension, Cannon Fodder Female Matching Whose Marriage Was Snatched Away by Co
Since you're here, you've brought so many gifts...
In the end, Xiao Jingyuan stayed in Shi Mansion for dinner as he wished.
He stood tall and graceful in the hall of Shi Mansion. There were delicacies on the table, but Xiao Jingyuan's mind was not on these delicious dishes at all.
His eyes always drifted inadvertently to the beautiful woman across from him, as if entangled with strands of love. After three rounds of drinks, he pursed his thin lips and lowered his head slightly, revealing a hint of frailty just right.
It seemed that from the very first time he met Miaomiao, Xiao Jingyuan had an inexplicable feeling that only by meeting her in such a vulnerable manner could he achieve his goal faster.
“Not long after entering the palace yesterday, I vomited blood.
The servants and imperial doctors serving around were all frightened and turned pale.
Fortunately, after a careful examination by the imperial physicians, they discovered that it was simply old blood that had accumulated in the body. Although this vomiting seemed dangerous, it did eliminate some of the hidden dangers.
Xiao Jingyuan lowered his head slightly, speaking in a soft but deliberately weak tone.
After that, he paused for a moment and glanced at Miaomiao not far away, with a look of indescribable things in his eyes.
"I always feel that only seeing you can relieve the pain in my body, so I shamelessly came here with Xiao Shunzi again.
By the way, I'm here to tell you that I helped you vent your anger.
I made the father and son from Prince Zhao's palace kneel at the palace gate for a month.
However, your cousin is also involved in this. How are you going to deal with it?
Miaomiao, she betrayed you and she is not worthy of your trust.
According to the survey results, the two of you have been together for some time and have been engaging in inappropriate behavior even before you broke off the engagement.
Should I help you deal with her or should you do it yourself?
Miaomiao, you can always trust me, we are...friends."
Xiao Jingyuan carefully considered every word he chose, trying his best not to let Miaomiao feel the age difference between them.
Miaomiao's eyes drooped slightly, and for a moment, the surroundings seemed to be muted, with only her light breathing rising and falling slightly in the silence.
Her thoughts did not drift far away, but were focused on the "friend of His Majesty" with a special identity in front of her.
Today, his every move and every word seemed to be shrouded in an invisible, sticky veil. The aura lingered around him, making Miaomiao keenly aware of something strange.
But then I thought again, I felt that I might be overthinking it. This is the staunch bachelor in the original story, and how can I bring him a little bit of luck buff, or am I a friend that he recognizes?
Miaomiao now can't even remember why she became His Majesty's friend, but it doesn't matter, it's better than others.
When Miaomiao thought of this, she subconsciously let go of her little bit of vigilance.
"I know she's not worthy of my trust, but I'll do it myself. The imperial edict you gave me is enough for me to take revenge on her.
On the contrary, Ming Yun, have you found the villain who made you unconscious for two days for no reason? "
Compared with her own messy tasks, Miaomiao felt that the safety of Xiao Jingyuan in front of her was the top priority.
After all, this is her most solid support for gaining a foothold in the Xia Kingdom. The reason why she is not anxious is because King Zhao is also afraid of him, right?
After hearing Miaomiao's question, Xiao Jingyuan felt uncontrollable joy and excitement in his heart.
He originally wanted to suppress his joy and just coughed lightly, but he couldn't help it in the end, and said with a slight smile on his lips.
“It has been found, but we still need to wait for a more suitable time.
Miaomiao, don’t worry.”
The time of a meal slipped away silently, as short as a flash of light.
As the Son of Heaven, Xiao Jingyuan was burdened with the many affairs of the imperial palace, which were like heavy shackles that bound his actions. Not to mention, the relationship between the two was still unclear, and Xiao Jingyuan didn't want to scare Miaomiao all of a sudden.
Therefore, even though he was reluctant to leave Miaomiao and was deeply attached to her, he had to suppress the surging emotions in his heart and struggled to control his urge to stay.
Before leaving, he suppressed his reluctance and gave Miaomiao some instructions.
"Miao Miao, try to stay in Shi Mansion these days and don't go out.
Tomorrow is the time we agreed on. Don't worry, I will come by myself.
Prince Zhao's Mansion has lost a lot of face in this incident. He can't get it back from me, but he may not let you go.
Although I have arranged for someone to protect you before I came here, it is still safer to stay in the Shi Mansion these days. Going out will make you more vulnerable to ambush."
Xiao Jingyuan stared into Miaomiao's eyes, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Miaomiao nod in agreement.
One of them couldn't help but gently placed his finger on Miaomiao's shoulder and patted her before turning and leaving.
He originally wanted to tell Miaomiao about the Imperial Observatory, but he held back in the end.
Once upon a time, he thought he could tolerate a gap of two days between seeing each other.
But after seeing her yesterday, he still woke up feeling lonely, with the longing and possessiveness growing wildly in his heart like weeds.
Therefore, he longed to be with Miaomiao all the time, and every minute and every second of separation was torment for him.
This forced him to find ways to get more opportunities to see Miaomiao before he could keep her by his side.
For example, let Xiao Shunzi deliver the reward, and he would follow quietly.
Tomorrow is the day they meet again, and he will definitely be able to have the nerve to come and see Miaomiao.
As for the day after tomorrow, he also had a reason. The Imperial Observatory was the reason for his visit the day after tomorrow...
Miaomiao stood there, looking at Xiao Jingyuan's gradually receding back, with a touch of emotion in her eyes. She never expected that in such a feudal dynasty, she would have a friend who was an emperor.
But how could she know that her friends didn't want to be her friends...
Even at the moment when he turned around and left, so many complicated thoughts had already entered his mind.
It seemed like a tangled mess, but he had carefully tied it into knots that only he understood.
When Miaomiao returned to her room to rest, she let out a breath unconsciously, and suddenly realized that what she had thought was just like ordinary friends, sitting down to eat and chatting casually. It should have been a relaxed and carefree scene.
But for some reason, when she was with His Majesty, she always felt as if there were countless thin but tough spider silks, spreading silently from all directions, wrapping her up little by little, and even getting tighter and tighter.
The feeling of being bound made her feel sticky all over, like a bond that could never be torn off.
However, although Miaomiao was completely unaware of Xiao Jingyuan's hidden love and paranoia, and simply regarded him as a friend with whom she could talk, she actually listened to Xiao Jingyuan's parting advice.
