"Why do you think the prince is related to Min Xizhao?" Fu Jingchao asked.
Shen Xingwan said with a stern expression, "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not only met the old lady at the Shen Mansion that night, but also had a tryst with Min Xizhao, and happened to be bumped into by Mingyue, and killed someone in anger and silenced her, would everything become reasonable?"
Fu Jingchao sneered, "What does the prince want to do, to have a relationship with the eldest daughter of the Min family in private?"
This way things become more reasonable.
————————————
The next day, after Shen Xingwan reported to the old lady, he went to Xie's house to visit Xie Zhuohua in person.
After looking at each other with Fu Jingchao last night, Shen Xingwan reviewed everything that happened during this period.
Trying to find more clues from it.
She always felt that it was no coincidence that Xie Zhuohua left suddenly and hurriedly after that night.
Regarding the prince's sudden secret trip south, it is unlikely that the Xie family and Xie Zhuohua really knew anything about it.
This matter has become too complicated now, and she wants to test Xie Zhuohua's attitude.
The carriage staggered for a while before arriving at the gate of Xie's house. Since it was a sudden visit, Banxia got off the car and went to the gate to announce his arrival and send a greeting card.
After waiting for a long time, a nun came out from the side door and saluted Shen Xingwan outside the carriage, "Miss, let the old slave take the girl in."
Shen Xingwan's carriage went directly to the second gate before stopping. As soon as he got off the carriage, he saw Xie Zhuohua's maid Yunxia waiting aside.
"Follow me, lady. The lady is waiting for you in the yard."
Yunxia led the way, and Shen Xingwan followed behind. They walked through the beautiful and spacious scenery of the Xie family's pavilions, and finally stopped at a majestic pavilion.
Yunxia pointed to the top floor, "Miss, I'll be waiting for you up there."
Shen Xingwan looked up and saw the name of the attic, "Feitian Pavilion."
It was quite laborious to climb up step by step. Fortunately, Shen Xingwan was not a delicate lady.
When I climbed to the top floor, I couldn't help but feel a thin layer of sweat on my forehead.
At a glance, he caught sight of Xie Zhuohua standing in the wind, with his gorgeous long skirt and hair flying in the air, and his whole back looked a bit sharp.
"My sister is here, come and see the south of the Yangtze River with me." Xie Zhuohua did not look back.
Shen Xingwan walked over. This pavilion was built on a high ground. It has more than thirty floors. Standing on the top floor and looking over, it seems that the entire Jiangnan has a panoramic view.
This perspective of overlooking everything makes people feel relaxed and happy.
The two stood side by side, neither of them speaking.
After a while, Xie Zhuohua said, "Why is my sister here suddenly?"
It had only been a few days since Du Mingyue's incident, so it stands to reason that Shen Xingwan should be feeling sad.
"Why did my sister leave so suddenly? We didn't even have time to say goodbye properly." Shen Xingwan said.
Xie Zhuohua looked into the distance with a cold look in his eyes, "There is something urgent at home."
After Shen Xingwan was silent for a while, she asked an incomprehensible question, "Everyone says that my sister is the unofficial crown princess and is born with a phoenix fate. So what do you think about her?"
Xie Zhuohua turned his head and looked at Shen Xingwan in surprise. What did she think? No one had ever asked her this question.
What a glorious thing it is to be favored by the Heavenly Family and become the appointed crown princess. The marriage decree will be issued as soon as she has hairpins.
I don’t know how many people envied her, secretly or openly, and thought it was her honor. Does it matter what she thinks?
Under the imperial power, apart from being happy, no matter what thoughts she expressed to the outside world, she was rebellious.
Xie Zhuohua said in a somewhat lonely voice, "If the imperial edict has not been issued for a day, then everything is undecided."
There are too many people staring at the position of Crown Princess. On the surface, she enjoys the scenery and honor that this title brings her. In fact, because of this title, her life hangs by a thread several times.
Things from the Tian family are never given for free, and you have to pay the price for taking them.
Shen Xingwan's eyes flashed, and then he asked a question that sounded innocent and childish, "Does sister love him? Do you love His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"My sister is not someone who can ask such a question."
Shen Xingwan smiled at her and said sincerely, "Because in my heart, Xie Jia Zhuohua is worthy of any man in the world."
So I’m curious, what does Xie Zhuohua think of his marriage to the prince? Is there any love in it?
After all, this prince has a good reputation. It is said that he is handsome and handsome, and has the air to dominate the world.
"If the Xie family needs it, then I must secure my position as the crown princess. It has nothing to do with whether I love you or not." Xie Zhuohua said very calmly, "Girls from our family, since we have enjoyed the family's support since we were young, we must also pay accordingly.
price."
This is a fate that most clan noblewomen cannot escape. Xie Zhuohua has always seen it very clearly and soberly.
So this year, relying on her status as the crown prince and the legitimate daughter of the deceased, she lived a very self-conscious and unrestrained life.
Such a comfortable and good time is running out. If nothing happens, she will soon enter the most luxurious prison in the world and spend the rest of her life in intrigues.
Shen Xingwan let out an inaudible sigh. Under the imperial power, everyone is an ant, and no one as bright and beautiful as Xie Zhuohua can escape.
"What if His Highness the Crown Prince betrays my sister? What should my sister do?"
Xie Zhuohua did not take Shen Xingwan's ridiculous statement to heart, and said calmly, "I don't want to assume that something has not happened, not to mention that he is the Crown Prince, and I am not the only woman in the first place.
Will you say betrayal?"
If he becomes the emperor in the future, he will also have three thousand beauties in his harem. Xie Zhuohua knows his position very well, and he knows better than anyone else that having a relationship with someone from the royal family will only lead to a complete failure.
Therefore, this marriage only talks about interests, not feelings.
"Really?" Shen Xingwan's tone suddenly became sharp, "What if the other party is Min Xixi, the eldest daughter of the Min family? Sister, do you think she will be inferior to you and just be the crown prince's concubine?"
Xie Zhuohua's aura suddenly changed, his eyes narrowed, and he lightly opened his red lips, "Sister, I know you are smart, but there are some things you shouldn't say nonsense!"
This guess was so shocking that Xie Zhuohua, who was horrified, subconsciously felt that Shen Xingwan was talking nonsense.
Shen Xingwan met Xie Zhuohua's eyes without hesitation, "Of course I can't just talk about this kind of thing."
Xie Zhuohua has no unnecessary feelings for His Royal Highness, so this matter has new possibilities.
She couldn't kill Min Xizhao by herself, but if she added Xie Zhuohua, she might not be able to fight.
Min Xizhao dared to have an affair with the prince. With her style and methods, it was impossible for her to watch Xie Zhuohua become the prince's concubine.
It is impossible for the Min family to watch their noble daughter become a child.
So when it comes to facing Min Xizhao, in a sense, Xie Zhuohua is on the same front as her.
