Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 238

Xie Zi'an shook his head, and said, "How could I help father to embarrass you? I just..."

"I understand!" Xie Wanqing smiled slightly, all the words were hidden in the sentence "I understand".

She understands his soft heart, she understands his struggle, and she also understands his reluctance!
Xie Zi'an breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the trace of worry in his heart suddenly disappeared.

"Wan'er, thank you... But don't worry, I won't do anything to hurt you. I can only persuade him about father's affairs. If he is stubborn, then I can only let him go!" Xie Zi'an said.

Xie Wanqing nodded, she understood everything, so she would not embarrass Xie Zi'an, she knew that Xie Chongguang would not look back.

So let Xie Zi'an go and fulfill his loyalty, filial piety and righteousness!

Xie Wanqing was just afraid that in the end Xie Zi'an would be sad because of this. After all, that person was his father. This is a helplessness that neither she nor he can choose!
"Wan'er, tonight..." Xie Zian seemed to have something choked in his throat, he hesitated to speak.

Xie Wanqing tilted her head: "What are you worried about, brother?"

"It's nothing." Xie Zi'an stretched out his hand to stroke Xie Wanqing's broken hair, "Rest early tonight, so don't go out!" Having said that, Xie Zi'an knows that tonight, no matter what, he My sister can't sit still.

Xie Zi'an sat for a while, then got up to go out, Xie Wanqing didn't ask any more questions, knowing that his brother was probably going to see their obsessive father Xie Chongguang this time.

After all, in a father-son relationship, she can be ruthless, but her brother can't.

Xie Wanqing sighed, and watched Xie Zi'an leave. Before leaving, Xie Zian turned around and told Su Wen and Lingshu, "Take care of Miss." Hearing those words, it seemed like something big was going to happen tonight.

Su Wen and Lingshu hurriedly nodded: "Young Master, don't worry!"

As it was getting late, Su Wen and Lingshu consciously got into Xie Wanqing's room, and each of them stared at Xie Wanqing closely.

Xie Wanqing got up and took a few steps, seeing the strange expressions of these two girls, she asked inexplicably, "What are you doing?"

Lingshu and Suwen looked at each other, Lingshu said: "Master, I want my servants to watch over Miss!"

Xie Wanqing sneered: "Young master really said that?" She clearly heard that her brother was just letting them take care of her, how could it be like staring at a prisoner?

It's just...the brother is suddenly so nervous, there must be a reason that he didn't say, Xie Wanqing's heart tightened, could it be that Xuanyuan Jue will encounter some danger tonight, and the brother is worried that he will be implicated if he is with him?

Xie Wanqing sat quietly and sorted out everything before and after, recalling Xie Zi'an's expression just now, she became more and more sure of her guess, got up abruptly, and pretended to go out.

"Miss!" Su Wen stopped Xie Wanqing, "It's getting dark, where are you going? I'll be worried if the young master doesn't see you when he comes back later."

Xie Wanqing took a long breath and said, "No, I can't sit like this anymore, my eyelids are twitching so much, something must happen tonight, I have to go find him!"

"Who is Miss talking about?" Lingshu asked, Su Wen gave her a sideways glance, and Lingshu finally realized: "Ah? Is it His Royal Highness King Jing?"

"What could happen to His Royal Highness King Jing?" Lingshu muttered to himself, Xie Wanqing had already put his hand on the door frame, Lingshu chased after him, "Miss, at least take your servants with you, don't go out alone again!"

"Alright." Xie Wanqing nodded in response, Lingshu was good at skills, so she felt more at ease.

However, Xie Wanqing didn't know that when she was going out to find Xuanyuan Jue, Xuanyuan Jue was also rushing to the small courtyard where she lived. Xie Wanqing was worried that Xuanyuan Ming would make a desperate move against King Jing, while Xuanyuan Jue would Worried that Xuanyuan Ming would take the opportunity to threaten Xie Wanqing by cruelly attacking him, the two were actually worried that they would end up together.

It's a pity that by accident, the two took two different paths, and they couldn't meet each other abruptly.

Xuanyuan Jue went to the small courtyard and ran for nothing. Not only did he not find Xie Wanqing, even Xie Zian was not there. Just as he was wondering, when he was about to turn back, he faintly felt a cold murderous intent approaching him behind him.

Xuanyuan Jue seemed to be alone, but there were not a few master guards who followed him secretly, but at this moment, it was surprising that such a danger was allowed to approach him.

Unless... those masters in the dark were all cleaned up silently.

Is it the person in front of you?
At this time, the sky had completely darkened, and Feng Duo turned his back to Xuanyuan Jue, so Xuanyuan Jue couldn't see his appearance clearly for a while.

However, Xuanyuan Jue faintly felt that this figure was somewhat familiar, so he approached two steps calmly, further confirming the guess in his heart.

"A Duo?" Xuanyuan Jue called out, "It really is you!"

Feng Duo's back stiffened. Since he entered the East Palace with the crown prince, he and Xuanyuan Jue had little contact with each other, but the friendship they grew up with when they were children could not be erased from his heart. So did he.

I thought that they would never meet again in this life, and that they might still be able to retain the beautiful and innocent childhood memories, but Xuanyuan Ming wanted to push Feng Duo onto this road of severing love and righteousness.

Feng Duo turned around slowly, and Xuanyuan Jue could see his face clearly. Compared with the face of the bright young man in his memory, there was obviously a lot more unspeakable sense of vicissitudes.

"His Royal Highness King Jing." He took a deep look at Xuanyuan Jue, and at the same time the long sword was pointed directly at Xuanyuan Jue.

The distance between them was only ten steps, if Xuanyuan Jue didn't make any resistance at this time, it would be a snap for Feng Duo to kill him.

Xuanyuan Jue stood with his hands behind his back, maintaining a calm and composed appearance, and the expression in his eyes became more and more serious.

Feng Duo was stunned, but he didn't see Xuanyuan Jue making a move for a long time, which inexplicably deepened the depression in his heart. He would rather Xuanyuan Jue make a move to fight him to the death, even if he died in Xuanyuan Jue's hands, after all, both love and affection would be fulfilled , Live up to the original intention.

"Make a move!" Feng Duo said in a deep voice.

Xuanyuan Jue curled his lips into a chuckle: "I don't want to fight against my brother!"

"I'm not your brother!" God knows what kind of torment Feng Duo was suffering in his heart when he said these words at this moment, "At this moment, I am your enemy, an enemy who will put you to death, and will never show mercy!"

Xuanyuan Jue still had that meaningless smile on her face, and said firmly, "You won't!"

"Really?" Feng Duo turned the long sword in his hand back, like a gust of wind blowing, kicking up a cloud of dust, and the tip of Feng Duo's sword was already approaching Xuanyuan Jue's heart, Xuanyuan Jue still stood there, motionless He moved, and even showed a gratified smile. After all, he saw the right person. It is impossible for Feng Duo to have the heart to kill him. Even at this moment, he only needs to increase his strength a little, and he can directly take Xuanyuan Jue's life. , but Feng Duo still couldn't do it.

"A Duo." Xuanyuan Jue stretched out his hand to hold his sword, "I may have missed many people, but I did not miss you..."

Blood overflowed from Xuanyuan Jue's palm, "Boom—" Feng Duo let go of his hand suddenly, the sword fell to the ground, Feng Duo's nose twitched, and he turned away.

There are no words, but thousands of words have been spoken.

When Xie Wanqing turned back, she saw Xuanyuan Jue standing outside her small courtyard, with her right hand hanging by her side, blood dripping from the palm of her hand onto the ground, even staining the dust under his feet red.

Xie Wanqing hurried forward and said worriedly: "What's going on? Are you injured?"

Xuanyuan Jue didn't seem to be able to feel the pain coming from the palm of his hand, and there was a foolish smile on his face all the time, but Xie Wanqing was very anxious.

"What happened just now? How...how could this be..." As he spoke, he hurriedly grabbed Xuanyuan Jue's right hand, looked at the shocking wound on his palm, and ordered: "Su Wen, take it quickly. Here comes the medicine!"

Su Wen prepared the hemostatic wound medicine early on and handed it to Xie Wanqing. Xie Wanqing stood outside the courtyard and hurriedly bandaged Xuanyuan Jue. Seeing Xie Wanqing's anxious and worried appearance, Xuanyuan Jue felt satisfied. "Fortunately, you're fine!" Xuanyuan Jue said.

"What did you say, what can I do, it's you..." Xie Wanqing gave Xuanyuan Jue a simple bandage before leading him into the house.

After entering the room, Su Wen and Lingshu consciously waited outside, leaving Xie Wanqing and Xuanyuan Jue talking alone in the room.

"My eyelids have been twitching all day, so something happened." Xie Wanqing said, looking at the wound on Xuanyuan Jue's hand, "The crown prince just jumped off the wall at his wit's end this time!"

"He's scared." Xuanyuan Jue chuckled lightly, "The more impulsive and reckless he is, the better it is for us, isn't it?"

At this time, Xie Wanqing was focused on Xuanyuan Jue's safety, "Who will be sent by the prince this time?" Since the assassination failed, Xuanyuanming must have left behind.

A layer of gloom flashed across Xuanyuan Jue's face, and Xie Wanqing keenly caught it, "What?" Xie Wanqing's doubts became more and more serious.

"It's Feng Duo." Xuanyuan Jue folded his hands, stroking the bandaged wound with his right hand with his left hand, "I never thought he would be so mad that he would send Feng Duo here..."

"Funduo?"

"He... is the chief guard of the Eastern Palace." Xuanyuan Jue explained, but Xie Wanqing knew that if she was just a simple little chief guard, Xuanyuan Jue would never show such a struggling expression.

"Don't you have any friendship with him?"

"He and I..." Xuanyuan Jue hesitated to speak, he couldn't help but see the back of Feng Duo abandoning his sword and leaving in his mind, and an ominous premonition came to his heart - Feng Duo's trip back this time, I'm afraid there will be bad luck.

"What's wrong?" Xie Wanqing became inexplicably nervous.

"No!" Xuanyuan Jue stood up abruptly, "I have to go to the East Palace!"

"At this time? Why?" Xie Wanqing was puzzled.

"There was a man I had to save—"

Yes, Xuanyuan Jue could imagine how Xuanyuanming would treat Feng Duo when he returned this trip, but he couldn't ignore it at all, Feng Duo...he had to be saved.

Xie Wanqing took a step forward and took Xuanyuan Jue's hand, "If you think it's right, then go, and... I'll accompany you!"
