It’s so embarrassing.
It was also because of Xie Xuanchen’s crazy tantrums that Mu Mingtang couldn’t escape his grasp for three consecutive months. Basically, she barely left the mansion in that period of ti. Outsiders only knew that after playing polo with the Beirong team during the Dragon Boat Festival, Xie Xuanchen suddenly fell ill upon returning ho.
For this reason, several conspiracy theories have spread throughout the capital. So doubted the Emperor, so were suspicious of the other Prince, but the craziest one was that the Pri Minister and the Beirong people secretly colluded to poison Xie Xuanchen, who was involved in the main battle.
There were different opinions and speculations, but because they have not been able to see his condition in person, everyone had no way to prove their claims. Therefore, they only continued to wait suspiciously. Now that Mu Mingtang finally showed herself in the Mid-Autumn festival, everyone took the opportunity and sward towards her, all of them eager to inquire about the news.
Mu Mingtang was surrounded by people, which made her face beco slightly stiff. She couldn’t directly say, ‘you are thinking too much, Xie Xuanchen is actually just pretending to be sick,’ so she could only bite the bullet and agree, “…Yes.”
The questioner’s expression beca more and more concerned, “What caused it? Why did he get sick again? Is his condition serious?”
Mu Mingtang tried her best to maintain her expression and said, “It’s not serious, well, it’s actually not a big deal. Please don’t worry about it.”
“How can being sick not be a big deal?” The other party said with a serious face, “Everyone should pay more attention to see if His Highness’s condition is relapsing. If Princess An needs anything at all, do not hesitate to ask.”
“…Alright.’
Mu Mingtang was speechless and could only respond in embarrassnt. Along the way, many people were asking about his health and she could only sigh in her heart. If I told you the true reason, I think you’d be shocked. After all, would you believe that he’s actually faking it all this ti?
Only Xie Xuanchen was capable of acting sick to such a large degree.
However, the culprit of all this, the ‘seriously ill man’ Xie Xuanchen, looked calm. He had a serene expression and there was no sense of panic at all. If one were to look at him properly, they would also think that he looked a bit sickly.
After the banquet, the Emperor also specifically asked about this matter, “How is Prince An’s health now?”
After the Emperor asked this sentence, the banquet seed to be quiet. Despite being in front of many people, Xie Xuanchen was not flustered at all and even said seriously, “Fortunately, I’m feeling much better recently.”
“That’s good,” The Emperor said relievedly, “I heard that you were not in good health so ti ago and I missed you very much. Unfortunately, because of the peace negotiations, I have been unable to take action. Now that I know that you are feeling a lot better, I feel at ease.”
Mu Mingtang was ashad to look up at others. Was his ruddy complexion and appearance that seed full of energy resembled that of a patient? It was unbearable to her that one was pretending to be sick whereas the other was pretending to be a good uncle who cared about his nephew.
The Emperor asked a few more questions with concern and urged Xie Xuanchen to pay more attention to his basic necessities. After a while, soone ca to toast a glass with the Emperor, so he changed the topic.
