Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage

146-147

Chapter 146: Angry

After Shen Miao thought for a while, she then asked Xie Jing Xing, "How do you plan to handle Princess Ming An and Xie Chang Wu?"

Even though she had repeatedly warned herself not to be curious about all things related to Xie Jing Xing, at the end Shen Miao could not hold it back. At that time when Xie Jing Xing took away Xie Chang Chao's corpse, it made her very puzzled. She asked, "You plan to kill Xie Chang Wu?"

"Else wait for him to scheme me behind my back?" Xie Jing Xing retorted.

Shen Miao rolled her eyes. Even if Xie Chang Wu really wanted to scheme against Xie Jing Xing, he had to start scheming for it to be considered. Not to mention that now Xie Jing Xing was holding the noble and greatly respected identity of Prince Rui of the Great Liang, even when he was the Little Marquis in the residence of the Marquis of Lin An, the Xie brothers' duels with him failed, and even the highly skilled Madam Fang could only watch openly as Xie Jing Xing grew up arrogantly for all the years.

"Actually you do not need to kill him. You did not have to kill Xie Chang Chao too." Shen Miao said, "Your Fa... For the Marquis of Lin An to lose sons in succession, he would definitely investigate the matter. Perhaps you have other means that would reduce some other unnecessary trouble."

Xie Jing Xing's eyes were slightly cold, "I have the final say to kill them or not." He suddenly shot a glance at Shen Miao and his lips hooked up, "You are now seemingly caring about an ally's feelings. Why? Worried about me?" His tone suddenly became a little frivolous. Compared to the cynical youth two years ago, for Xie Jing Xing who had gotten more handsome in appearance to do this, it made one unable to look away. One clearly knew it was dangerous but it seemingly made one fascinated and could not help but be closer.

Shen Miao looked away without an expression, "I am worried you will implicate me."

Xie Jing Xing laughed and there was some playfulness in his smile, "Do not need to worry. I have ways to protect you, and also have ways to protect myself. One will not give trouble to others."

Shen Miao felt a little weird in her heart, as she felt that Xie Jing ing's remarks were alluding to something. However there was only the two of them in the room and if there was innuendo, one did not know who was he shooting it to. Shen Miao thought that she was oversensitive and just went along with his words, "Your Highness Princes Rui naturally possess remarkable abilities."

"But there are things that one cannot be compared with." Xie Jing Xing said lazily, "One do not know the trick of injuring oneself for gain."

Shen Miao said, "What did you say?"

"Never mind." Xie Jing Xing stood up and walked to Shen Miao. His stature was tall thus when he stood shoulder to shoulder with Shen Miao, there was an involuntary pressure. Normally when he talked to Shen Miao, he would either be indifferent or frivolous, and that helped to dilute the pressure but one did not know why, or was it Shen Miao's incorrect illusion, she felt that Xie Jing Xing's gaze was much more sharper than in the past.

"How do you want me to handle Ming An?" He leaned closer to Shen Miao and whispered into Shen Miao's ears.

Shen Miao unconsciously took a step back, but her shoulders were held down by Xie Jing Xing. His expression was somewhat strange, seemingly like he was repressing something. He then abruptly let go of his hands before turning around and said coldly, "What are you thinking?"

"Why ask me?" Shen Miao said, "Do not you already have plans?" Xie Jing Xing had taken away Xie Chang Chao's corpse, thus Shen Miao thought that Xie Jing Xing had already thought of what next steps to take. Why now ask her about it?
