Venomous Empress Reborn - Chapter 846

846 Injured (5)

Shen Miao was enlightened.

In her previous life and this life, many things had changed, and the father and son of the Xie family were one of them. In her previous life, the Marquis of Lin’an, Xie Ding, went to war first and was defeated and died. Then, the Marquis of Lin’an declined. Xie Jingxing received the imperial edict to go to war, but he also ended up with ten thousand arrows piercing his heart. Whether Xie Jingxing faked his death in her previous life was unknown, but one thing was certain. The father and son of the Xie family died on the battlefield at the same time because they were targeted by the royal family.

For some reason, in this life, Xie Jingxing changed his mind and went to war in advance. The emperor originally wanted to deal with the Marquis of Lin’an, so he took the opportunity to change the target to Xie Jingxing. Xie Jingxing was dead. Unexpectedly, the Marquis of Lin’an couldn’t recover from the setback, so the royal family didn’t have to make things difficult for him again.

At the thought of this, Shen Miao understood what Xie Jingxing meant when he said to Su Mingfeng, “Ming Qi didn’t nurture me. Instead Ming Qi killed me.”

!!
The Marquis of Lin’an had once made great contributions to Ming Qi, but once he outlived his usefulness, the royal family could not wait to get rid of him. Although Shen Miao already knew that the fall of the Marquis of Lin’an in her previous life was related to the royal family, it was different when she heard it from Xie Jingxing.

If even Xie Ding’s trusted aide was a spy planted by the royal family, then almost every move of the Marquis of Lin’an was under Emperor Wen Hui’s nose. Therefore, Xie Jingxing had never been close to Xie Ding since he was young. Perhaps back then, although he could not be sure who the spy was, he knew that the royal family had always been watching their every move.

Perhaps even Concubine Fang, Xie Changchao, and Xie Changwu were secretly controlled by Emperor Wen Hui. However, now that Xie Changchao and Xie Changwu were dead, Concubine Fang was on the verge of collapse, and the Marquis of Lin’an had no successor, Emperor Wen Hui probably wouldn’t take the Marquis of Lin’an seriously.

Shen Miao looked at Xie Jingxing again, feeling glad that he had survived a calamity.

Xie Jingxing’s life in Ming Qi was indeed not as good and comfortable as Su Mingfeng thought. Perhaps the Daliang Dynasty sent Xie Jingxing over because the status of the young marquis of the Marquis of Lin’an could provide a lot of convenience. They thought that if Princess Yuqing died in misery, the Marquis of Lin’an would dote on his son even more. However, they did not expect that Xie Jingxing’s life in the Marquis of Lin’an was even harder than if he was born in an ordinary family.

There was infighting, deception, hypocrisy, and hidden schemes.

If not for the people of the Daliang Dynasty coming to his rescue on the battlefield in time, Xie Jingxing would’ve been reduced to dust scattering over the wilderness of the northern border.

Xie Jingxing looked at Shen Miao’s expression. Although Shen Miao tried her best to remain calm, her breathing was still a little irregular. He smiled and reached over the table to touch her head. “What are you afraid of? When we reach the Daliang Dynasty, with me around, no one will dare to bully you.”

“There’s also a royal family in the Daliang Dynasty.” Shen Miao felt that things were not that simple.

Xie Jingxing said indifferently, “I’m also from the royal family.” He retracted his hand and said indifferently, “Apart from my brother, you don’t have to be afraid of anyone. Even if you see my brother and really anger him, tell me and I’ll guarantee your safety.”

“The Daliang Dynasty is my territory. Whoever dares to bully you will be going against the world.” Xie Jingxing said.
