755 Affection (4)
When Shen Miao “climbed” over the last walls and arrived at Prince Rui’s mansion, Cong Yang was so tired that he did not want to speak.
Because they came in from the backyard, they did not have to enter the front door. There was actually not a single guard in the huge Prince Rui’s mansion. Cong Yang also looked puzzled. Prince Rui’s mansion had never been so poorly fortified.
Shen Miao was still looking at the magnificent decoration of Prince Rui’s mansion. It was just a temporary place for Price Rui to stay, but it was actually so well-maintained. She did not know how grand the real palace would be. Just as she was thinking, a middle-aged man in black appeared in front of her.
“Tie Yi!” Cong Yang shouted, then asked, “Where are the others?”
The guard called Tie Yi looked at Shen Miao and was stunned. He cupped his hands at her and asked, “Miss Shen, is there something urgent that you have to come personally?”
Shen Miao looked at him and saw that he seemed to know her. Seeing that Cong Yang was greeting him, she guessed that he was probably Xie Jingxing’s man, so she said, “I’m looking for Prince Rui. I have something to say.”
Tie Yi seemed to have expected her to say that. He nodded and said, “Master is in the backyard. Follow me.”
…
When the winter in Ming Qi turned cold, no one was willing to walk outside. At night, the streets were even more empty. Even the birds, cats, and dogs were curled up in their warm nests, unwilling to move.
The water in the pond had already frozen. The garden was filled with lotuses in summer, and koi fish were roaming around. At this moment, it was all white. It seemed that no matter how beautiful the things were, they would eventually be gone, just like how the flowers that bloomed in spring would wither one day.
The purple-clothed young man slept lazily on the tree with his hands behind his head. He did not take off the mask on his face. There was a wind lantern hanging on the tree. Under the weak light, his expression was neither sad nor happy, but it was a little lonely.
Under the tree, the white tiger lay on the ground. From time to time, it would scratch the tree trunk with its claws. Occasionally, it would bite the ice that had fallen to the ground.
As soon as Shen Miao entered, she saw this scene. The young man and the white tiger were sleeping soundly, but it reminded her of herself in her previous life where she walked past the royal garden late at night in the palace, her mind filled with the laughter of Fu Xiuyi and Consort Mei.
When the white tiger suddenly saw that someone was here, it immediately stood up and hunched its body, looking at her warily, letting out low roars. However, because it was too small, it did not look intimidating.
“Shh, Jiaojiao.” Xie Jingxing said, “Be quiet.”
Shen Miao was speechless.
She walked to the tree and looked up at the person sleeping on the thick branch. “Who are you calling?”
Xie Jing paused and suddenly looked down. When he saw Shen Miao, he was stunned and asked, “Why are you here?”
“I haven’t finished talking to you in the princess mansion, so I came.”
Xie Jingxing glanced at her and did not get down from the tree. He chuckled and said, “Are you here because you’re concerned about me?”
“It’s your business what you think,” Shen Miao replied.
“Do you think I’ll be sad?” Xie Jingxing seemed to have heard a joke, and his expression became more and more interesting. “How naive.”
“It’s good if you are not sad.” Shen Miao ignored his mockery and said calmly.
Xie Jingxing stared at the sky and waved his hand lazily. “Go back. I’m fine.”
