Chapter 161 Leaving
"Princess, are you really leaving?" Sang Luo asked cautiously from the side.
"Isn't the prince very good to the princess? Why is it so sudden?" Xiao Kui was also confused.
Sang Luo saw Jiang Xing in the teahouse, so he didn't respond to Xiao Kui's words.
But she felt that the princess actually cared about the prince very much, but she had not discovered it yet.
The princess suddenly asked to leave, and it could be felt that she was not happy about coming back. Could it be that the two of them had some conflict?
Looking at the two people making wild guesses, Lu Xuan was almost unusually calm. "The prince and I were originally a temporary alliance and became husband and wife because of our respective interests. Now that our respective affairs have been completed, it is natural for us to separate."
She looked at Sang Luo and said, "The prince has someone he wants to marry, and I have my own destined partner. Have you ever seen a loving couple living separately? The prince and I's reputation is just a facade for outsiders. Don't let it fool your own people!"
"Then live together!"
A low voice sounded and Jiang Xing rushed in.
He was breathing heavily, his face flushed from the intense speed, beads of sweat dripped down his forehead to his cheeks, and his throat was dry and hoarse.
But his eyes followed her closely, as if he wanted to see her into the depths of his soul.
Xiao Kui quickly poured a cup of cold tea for Jiang Xing, carefully placed it on the table, and immediately pulled Sang Luo out carefully, closing the door behind them.
The air became still.
Lu Xuan sat in the armchair, his words still polite: "Your Highness, have you gone mad again? I thought we had made everything clear before."
Jiang Xing frowned and sat down beside her: "Did the princess go to Qingyi Pavilion today?"
Lu Xuan smiled, but there was a chill in her smile. "I did go, but I saw that the prince was in high spirits, so I didn't come out to greet him. I hope the prince won't blame me."
Lu Xuan had never spoken to him like this before. He knew that he was just angry, but the anger at this critical moment made him inexplicably panic.
"The truth is not what the princess saw. Ji Qingyan and I did know each other when we were young, but there was no talk of marriage. I just wanted to repay her for saving me!"
Lu Xuan was stunned for a moment, then raised her eyebrows slightly: "Oh? Like me saving you? Then in the eyes of the prince, I am probably the same, someone who is repaying a favor!"
"No!" His eyes were filled with anxiety. "Of course you are different, Xuan. I... although we were just an alliance at the beginning, you are my princess!"
He wanted to say the words he had been thinking about for many days, but he held back.
If I told her, she might be scared and run even faster!
He felt anxious and as if his whole heart was being fried in a frying pan.
She chuckled coldly, "For someone like you, there are probably many different women for you, right? Ji Qingyan has already recommended herself so much, and it's not like a good man to waver like this."
Lu Xuan's words were calm, but if you listened carefully, you could hear the tremor in his voice.
She had been using a face as calm as a mirror to hide her extremely rapid heartbeat, not knowing whether it was due to the excitement of arguing with someone, or something else.
"I was never meant to be her ideal husband!"
I don’t know if it’s because I can no longer contain my anxiety, or if I’m unwilling to endure the constant uneasiness in my heart.
Jiang Xing's throat was as dry as if it was on fire, and he roared in a hoarse voice filled with anger.
After this sound, the room returned to silence again.
He was at a loss as to what to do, so he simply picked up the teacup and took a sip to moisten his throat.
Lu Xuan tried hard to suppress his boiling emotions and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, you have your plans, and I have mine. Ever since the Ji family took action this time, I know very well that they are targeting me, not you!"
"You have the Queen Mother behind you. Because of what happened to Ji Cheng and the Ji family, they won't touch you again in the short term. But I have become a thorn in their side and an irreconcilable enemy!"
"You and Ji Qingyan have a past. If you really want her to enter the palace, I will settle down after I leave. You can do whatever you want. But now, if the prince insists on having that woman, I will never show mercy!"
After she finished speaking, she raised her hand and pointed the dagger in her sleeve directly at him.
"Just now in the Jasmine Garden, I thought Your Highness understood what I meant. If Your Highness insists on offending me, I will not let him do whatever he wants!"
Lu Xuan's voice was fierce, and even his eyes showed a different kind of sharpness than before.
Jiang Xing stared at the dagger he had never seen before, motionless, as if his soul had been sucked out of him.
His eyes seemed to be red, and his voice was weak: "A Xuan, won't you give me a chance to explain?"
"If I have to explain, it's to the future princess."
She smiled sarcastically, "All I ask for is honesty. This is what the prince and I agreed on beforehand. Now that the prince has broken his promise, there's no need to pretend to be so sad."
The dagger gleamed coldly. Lu Xuan didn't want to deal with him anymore and directly ordered him to leave: "Your Highness, I am leaving the palace too. If Your Highness is anxious to marry Ji Qingyan, you can write the divorce agreement tonight and I will sign it promptly. Farewell!"
As he spoke, Lu Xuan had already opened the door. The sound of cicadas outside made people feel anxious and annoyed.
The person in front of her followed her to the door. Lu Xuan thought he was about to leave, but she didn't expect the door to be slammed shut again.
As soon as she turned her head, her body was instantly enveloped by the hot aura of the man in front of her. She was less than a fist away from him and could even see his Adam's apple rolling and bursts of hot air coming out.
Perhaps it was because the weather was too hot, Lu Xuan's heartbeat started to frantically again, and her face unconsciously turned pink.
Jiang Xing lowered his head, his eyes deep, reflecting her reflection: "Do you still have the truth talisman?"
Lu Xuan was stunned.
"Put one on me."
"No, thanks." Lu Xuan wanted to turn around and leave, but there was nowhere to retreat, so he could only hold on to the door frame.
"Then I will say it myself. If Princess doesn't believe it later, I will not comply with your request. However, no matter how long it takes, I will give you one more chance to use the Truth Talisman."
Lu Xuan was about to say that it was not necessary, but Jiang Xing had already started talking.
"When I was eleven, I went to Xuanyuan Temple with my cousin Siyu..."
It was a hot July day. Even after closing the door, the room was still very hot and stuffy even though there was an ice jar in the room.
Jiang Xing's thin sweat floated on a layer of fluff, and Lu Xuan could see it clearly.
She tried hard to force herself not to look at any part of his body, but the space was narrow and he was hunched over, so her eyes were forced to focus on his broad and solid chest countless times.
"Did you hear clearly, Princess?"
Lu Xuan listened carefully to the old stories he told, but she couldn't grasp the information in her mind.
"So, sixteen years ago, Ji Qingyan fell seriously ill, and you thought she was dead?"
"Yes. Today she simply seeks security for the rest of her life, claiming she was injured saving me and is unable to conceive. If she wishes, I can find a suitable partner for her in the court or the army."
Lu Xuan smiled sarcastically: "What if she doesn't want to?"
"If she doesn't want to, then forget it. I've done my best. The rest is her own business." When saying this, Jiang Xing's eyes were filled with extreme indifference.
Lu Xuan thought of his previous life.
After she married Ji Bozhou, Ji Qingyan was one of the few people in the mansion who had no hostility towards her.
Because she is very distant from her.
When she saw Lu Xuan, her eyes were usually filled with indifference.
That look was not one of disgust or contempt, but rather a look of indifference that never took it seriously.
But fortunately, she wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for her.
However, the Ji Qingyan in Lu Xuan's memory was well-mannered and a very calculating person. What she had always insisted on was to live a free and unrestrained life without getting married or having children. But why did she say such shameless words to Jiang Xing in this life?
She thought more deeply.
This time at Zuijiangyue, the Ji family failed.
Although they appeared polite on the surface, they were actually fighting to the death.
So if Ji Qingyan’s target is not Jiang Xing, it is not difficult to guess who it is!
Jiang Xing had finished telling about his past with Ji Qingyan, and there was a calm look in his eyes.
He thought that he had been honest about his feelings and past, and should be understood and forgiven by Lu Xuan.
But he didn't expect to hear words that broke his heart.
