The Beloved in the Palm

Chapter 46 So you want to marry King Xuan?

He Songning was led through the door, and after seeing King Xuan, a strange look flashed across his face.

"Meet His Highness King Xuan."

He Songning saluted and raised his head.

Their eyes met for a very brief moment.

Immediately afterwards, He Songning turned his head and his eyes fell on Xue Qingyin.

"Are you feeling well?" He Songning asked.

Xue Qingyin turned away: "Hmm."

"I was a little worried when I saw you didn't come back for a long time. After searching a few places, I found out that you were in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city." There was no emotion in He Songning's tone, but it sounded somewhat condemning.

Xue Qingyin said: "I have spoken to my mother-in-law."

Whether Mrs. Xue tells you or not is none of my business.

Besides, why are you staring at me? I've never seen you take this seriously before?

Xue Qingyin asked: "How is Xue Qinghe?"

He Songning pursed his lower lip, and even King Xuan felt his unhappiness at that moment. He Songning said: "There is still no way to go."

Xue Qingyin gently responded "Oh."

King Xuan raised his eyelids and saw the alienation and estrangement between them... It should be caused by this person named "Xue Qinghe".

Judging by the name... is she Xue Qingyin's sister?

Xue Qingyin quickly spoke again and said: "Brother, if you are really worried, why not ask His Highness the King of Wei to send his imperial doctor to the house to give her a look."

She meant what she said.

He Songning frowned without any trace.

Xue Qingyin would never say such things, and combined with the fact that she suddenly came to the outskirts of the city and didn't return home...she was avoiding him?

Did he really hurt her that day? This thought passed through He Songning's mind, but it did not disappear, but penetrated deeply into the depths.

The lieutenant general couldn't figure out the atmosphere and entanglement. He asked without thinking: "Is it serious? If it is a serious illness, why don't Miss Xue come and beg our Highness King Xuan? There is no need to look far away from the near."

The strange look in He Songning's eyes suddenly became stronger.

Leave the near for the far.

Which one is closer? Which one is further?

Xue Qingyin sighed and said, "It's not a good idea to trouble His Highness Prince Xuan with everything. I don't have much face. If I use it again, I won't have anything left."

He Songning's tone was low and he suddenly said: "You don't have to worry about this matter. I will go find His Highness King Wei."

King Xuan said: "Go find Jinque."

"Huh?" Xue Qingyin turned to look at him.

King Xuan looked at Xue Qingyin and did not take He Songning into his eyes at all. He said in a calm tone: "Go to Jinque and she will agree to you."

Xue Qingyin thought, isn't this bad?

Find Princess Jinque for Xue Qinghe.

Isn't this a waste of time?

King Xuan seemed to have read through her thoughts and said, "Jinque will be very happy."

Xue Qingyin then responded obediently: "Oh, okay!"

He Songning didn't say anything anymore. The maid brought tea. He took the tea with one hand and sat down next to Xue Qingyin.

The atmosphere seemed to be gradually becoming more awkward.

Only the deputy general was not surprised.

King Xuan has a cold temperament and talks little. Wherever he is, people are mostly cautious and quiet.

Finally, Xue Qingyin broke the silence and asked, "Brother, won't you go back?"

He Songning said calmly: "Well, I'll stay here with you."

Are you okay?

Xue Qingyin was puzzled.

She could only curl her lips and said: "Where will brother stay tonight?"

He Songning was puzzled: "Of course it's still the same place where I lived before."

"His Royal Highness Prince Xuan is here."

Naturally, you can’t live in Qiushuang Garden.

King Xuan didn't even live there, so it wasn't his turn to go.

He Songning didn't dwell too much on this issue. He said, "I'll live with you."

Xue Qingyin:?

Now you are not afraid that I will fall in love with you and pester you endlessly?

In the end, Zhao Xufeng and Manager Zhao were also placed in King Xuan's courtyard.

Xue Qingyin felt a little annoyed when she thought about seeing He Songning when she went back to sleep.

She simply walked up the mountain alone without anyone.

Hey, why not watch the horses?

"Qingyin." He Songning's voice sounded from behind.

Xue Qingyin, who was out of breath after climbing the hillside, was very angry. I struggled to climb for so long, how come you caught up with me in just a few steps?

Xue Qingyin turned around and said in a dead voice: "What are you doing?"

"I just learned that you gave two of the servants I sent you to Qinghe that day when you were out on the lake." He Songning whispered.

"Oh." Xue Qingyin looked sad.

"You didn't intentionally snub her."

"Ah." Xue Qingyin still responded perfunctorily.

Seeing her in such a state, He Songning felt a little irritated for no reason. At the same time, he unconsciously took a step forward and said, "Qing Yin."

Xue Qingyin couldn't help but said: "Brother, if you have anything to say, why don't you tell me quickly?"

Even though He Songning was blind, he could feel the impatience in her body.

"That day... it was my eldest brother who made a mistake." He Songning was convinced.

As he spoke, he raised his hand and tried to pull open Xue Qingyin's clothes and take a look at the marks on her shoulders.

Xue Qingyin took a step back suddenly: "What are you doing?"

He Songning suddenly became more agitated.

He said solemnly: "Let me take a look at your injuries."

Xue Qingyin said unhappily: "No."

Anyway, what happened this time was a good use of the topic! She no longer has to pretend to be her original self.

He Songning choked, but didn't know how to persuade him.

Harsh?

Xue Qingyin was obviously angry. If he was more severe, she would hide from him forever.

He Songning had no choice but to change the topic and ask: "Why is King Xuan here?"

"The Xuanwu Army is stationed nearby."

"Did King Xuan take over the manor?"

"Yes." Xue Qingyin responded, and saw some hostility in He Songning's eyes.

He Songning's tone was a little gloomy: "You today..."

What today?

Xue Qingyin pricked up her ears.

He Songning did not continue, but suddenly turned around and said: "Do you really want to marry King Xuan?"

Xue Qingyin was about to speak.

Someone coughed lightly.

He Songning's face changed slightly, but he did not turn back.

Xue Qingyin raised her eyes and greeted the person who came: "Deputy General Fang."

It was Fang Chengzhong, the deputy general of King Xuan.

He touched his nose and said, "I saw that Miss Xue didn't even bring a maid, and I remembered that Miss Xue said she came to the farm to relax. I was afraid that Miss Xue had something bothering her, so I hurried over. Was Miss Xue talking about His Royal Highness Xuan Wang? Or was it about the imperial physician?"

These words are enough to show that he didn't hear much of the conversation.

But He Songning's eyes were still cold.

He was suspicious by nature, and of course he would not easily dispel his suspicion.

He Songning slowly turned around and said, "Thank you, Deputy General Fang, for your trouble. I will accompany Qingyin."

Fang Chengzhong thought to himself that it was because he saw you following that His Royal Highness felt something was wrong.

It seems that your brother and sister don't have a good relationship...

But Fang Chengzhong still smiled and said, "Okay, then you go. But it's getting late, be careful of the slippery road."

He Songning replied, "It's okay, there are also houses in the back mountain, although they are simple, but people can live."

Xue Qingyin:?

Then I won't go with you!

"I'm a little tired, let's go back and rest." Xue Qingyin yawned lazily, turned around and walked down.

He Songning: "..."

Are you so angry this time?

You don't even want to be alone with him?

He Songning didn't know where the agitation came from, he pursed his lips tightly and followed.

After they left, Fang Chengzhong stayed there for a while, then ran into the bushes beside.

There was King Xuan standing there.

Fang Chengzhong whispered: "Your Highness."

How much did they hear just now?

They heard a lot.

From the quarrel between the brother and sister.

Including He Songning reaching out to pull Xue Qingyin's shoulder.

And then the last question, do you really want to marry King Xuan?

Fang Chengzhong carefully looked at King Xuan's face, but he couldn't tell anything.

He still had a good impression of the girl from the Xue family, so he whispered: "Miss Xue must really like Your Highness, right? Rather than having any ulterior motives. Otherwise, wouldn't it be the same if she married the King of Wei?"

King Xuan just said indifferently: "Check what happened to Xue Qinghe."
