Chapter 992 Previous Life (6)
He curled his lips and smiled evilly. He said slowly, “It seems like the emperor has neglected you.”
Bai Lu widened her eyes. Xie Jingxing was too presumptuous, but she did not dare to drag Shen Miao away, in case Shen Miao made a sound and alarmed others.
After Shen Miao finished drinking, she picked up the wine jar and filled a large bowl. She handed it to Xie Jingxing and said, “You drink too!”
“Why should I drink it?” Xie Jingxing was puzzled.
“Because we are fellow sufferers!” Shen Miao said.
Xie Jingxing found it funny, but Shen Miao had already raised the wine bowl and fed it to him.
Bai Lu was shocked. This interaction was too close! Tie Yi was also extremely surprised, but without Xie Jingxing’s order, he wouldn’t make a move rashly.
Xie Jingxing was suddenly fed a bowl of wine. When he pushed Shen Miao away, a lot of wine spilled on his clothes. Shen Miao, on the other hand, smiled in satisfaction. She said, “We are bound to each other by this bowl of wine. When you return triumphantly, come and watch the fireworks with me!”
Xie Jingxing felt that today was really strange. It turned out that women were so sentimental when they were drunk. Even the dignified empress was like a different person when she was drunk.
“Your Majesty, you should look for the emperor.” He tidied his clothes.
Shen Miao said sadly, “I’ve never watched fireworks with him.”
Xie Jingxing stared at the woman opposite him. She lowered her head slightly and looked like she was about to cry. For some reason, his heart softened and he said, “Alright, alright, alright. I promise you.”
Shen Miao’s eyes lit up. She looked at him and said, “Deal!”
Xie Jingxing nodded.
Shen Miao thought for a moment and shook her head. “Words are useless. We need to exchange tokens.” She started to touch the hairpin on her hair.
Bai Lu was stunned. If the empress’s thing was with Xie Jingxing, it would be considered adultery. She was afraid that Shen Miao would give him a handkerchief or a hairpin. Suddenly, she saw the red string on Shen Miao’s wrist and had an idea. She said, “Your Majesty, that red string of yours is a very good token!”
Shen Miao’s gaze landed on the red string. She quickly untied it and tied it to Xie Jingxing’s wrist.
Xie Jingxing’s gaze landed on her slightly curled eyelashes. They were wet from the snow and cute.
Shen Miao smiled at him. “This is my token. I’ll wait for your return!”
“Thank you for giving me this, Your Majesty.” Xie Jingxing smiled casually. “However, I don’t have a token to give you. How about I give you a wish?”
“Wish?” Shen Miao looked at him.
“If we meet again in triumph, I will do my best to fulfill one of your wishes.”
Shen Miao said, “It’s a deal!”
“It’s a deal.”
With a bang, a corner of the sky was illuminated by the dazzling fireworks again. The two of them looked over at the same time. They seemed to have a tacit understanding and were abnormally compatible.
Bai Lu was also stunned.
The fireworks disappeared in an instant, but some things would not disappear, such as this night.
When Shen Miao woke up again, she felt a splitting headache. As she rubbed her forehead, she stood up and walked to the table, saying, “I didn’t expect to sleep for so long.”
Bai Lu brought her stomach-warming soup and said, “Your Majesty, you drank too much yesterday. Sober up first.”
“Too much?” Shen Miao paused. “I didn’t drink much at the palace banquet.”
Bai Lu felt a little guilty and said, “It’s probably because the wine at the palace banquet is too strong.”
Shen Miao nodded and sighed. “My habit of being unable to remember anything when I’m drunk hasn’t changed after so many years, but it is true that I haven’t drunk wine for a long time.”
Bai Lu nodded. Shen Miao looked at her empty wrist. “Why is the red string gone?”
Bai Lu said in a low voice, “It’s probably… lost.”
Shen Miao sighed. “What a pity.”
The sun was hanging high, and the troops were marching towards the city gate.
The young man in the lead was high-spirited. He had a lazy smile on his face, but his eyes were so cold that people did not dare to look at him directly.
“Master, everything is ready,” Tie Yi said.
Xie Jingxing looked behind him. After leaving this city gate, his future would be completely different from before. It also meant that he would have to cut ties with his past.
However, he had to leave eventually.
“There’s nothing left to miss here.” The white-robed man beside him waved his fan and said, “It has nothing to do with you anymore.”
“Maybe the royal family of Ming Qi are all hoping that Third Brother won’t be able to return alive.” The young man in the green robe smiled and looked ahead. “No matter what, we’re finally going home.”
“Not necessarily.”
Hearing that, the two of them looked at the purple-clothed man.
Xie Jingxing lowered his head. His gaze landed on his wrist. There was a red string tied there. The knot at the end of the red string was done neatly and carefully.
“Isn’t this something women wear?” Ji Yushu asked, “Why are you wearing this?”
“I owe someone a wish after drinking the farewell wine.” Xie Jingxing said, “I’ll return it when I come back.”
He retracted his gaze and looked ahead. “Let’s go.”
