Xie Jingxing put the other letter into the envelope and said, “Find out what’s going on with Pei Lang.” After a pause, he continued, “And Feng Zixian and Su Mingfeng.” He frowned slightly and suddenly thought of sothing. “Any progress on finding the herb?”
Tie Yi quickly said, “I’ve already sent people to look for it. Once they find it, they’ll send it to the dical hall imdiately.” Princess Rong Xin’s heart disease had been acting up frequently recently. There was a rare herb that could only be found in spring in the prescription. All the dical halls in the capital that had this herb had run out of it. Over the past few days, Princess Rong Xin had been enduring the pain. Xie Jingxing got soone to secretly find the herb and sell it to the dical hall.
“Be quick,” Xie Jingxing said. After thinking for a mont, he suddenly stood up, put on his coat, and was about to walk out.
Tie Yi was stunned. “Master, are you still going out?”
“I’m not done settling the score.” Xie Jingxing snorted and left.
…
It was already quiet in the Shen mansion. Shen Miao’s room was dark. Clearly, she had been asleep for a long ti.
When Xie Jingxing arrived, Cong Yang was sleeping on the tree. When he saw him coming over, he was so frightened that he almost fell from the tree. He quickly ca down and bowed to Xie Jingxing.
Xie Jingxing glanced at the window and Cong Yang quickly said, “Young Madam is already resting.”
Xie Jingxing walked to the window and saw sothing that looked like a jade pendant on the windowsill. Xie Jingxing looked at Cong Yang inquiringly. Cong Yang imdiately said, “This is the safety pendant Luo Ling secretly placed on the windowsill after Young Madam went to bed. Young Madam hasn’t discovered it yet.”
When Xie Jingxing heard this, his gaze changed slightly. He picked up the safety pendant with the tip of the dagger in his sleeve and threw it into Cong Yang’s arms. “Keep it well.”
Cong Yang was stunned for a mont before he heard Xie Jingxing continue, “My pet needs a pendant.”
While Cong Yang was speechless, Xie Jingxing had already opened the window and entered.
On the bed in the room, Shen Miao was sleeping soundly.
Xie Jingxing walked to the side of the bed and crossed his arms to look at her for a while. He raised his eyebrows and said, “You can still fall asleep. It seems like you didn’t take my words to heart. You’re quite bold.”
He sat down by the bed, grabbed a cup of tea placed on the table beside the bed, and took a sip. Then, he turned to look at Shen Miao.
When the girl fell asleep, she did not have her usual dignified and calm aura. Under the moonlight, her eyes were delicate and gentle. One must not ignore the fact that she was a 16-year-old girl because of her ruthless thods and the calmness she displayed.
Thinking of how Shen Miao’s chin was pinched by him during the day and how she tried her best to hold back her tears, Xie Jingxing felt a little guilty.
He reached out to tuck the ssy hair behind Shen Miao’s ear and saw that the girl’s eyelashes were trembling slightly. Xie Jingxing paused and looked down to see that her body, which was wrapped in a blanket, was trembling slightly.
She was actually pretending to be asleep.
Xie Jingxing raised an eyebrow and sat closer. He placed his hands on both sides of Shen Miao’s body and leaned down slightly, his ambiguous and magnetic voice sounding in her ears.
“I’ve helped you so many tis. Why don’t you repay with your body?”
He stared into Shen Miao’s eyes and slowly leaned down.
Shen Miao’s body was extrely stiff. The sound of her breathing seed to echo in the room, and the pressure above was getting more and more palpable. She suddenly pushed Xie Jingxing away and was about to sit up, saying angrily, “What do you want to do?”
Her voice was a little flustered.
