Are you up to it?
Xuanyuan Chen and Xuanyuan Jing led Sun Dening, followed by a long line of imperial guards, they returned to the capital in a grandiose manner.
Xuanyuan Chen was worried that he might run into bandits on the way. Although Xie Qingrong believed that she could handle this matter on her own, in the end, she still chose to travel with Xuanyuan Chen.
Xie Qingrong and Ye Ningyu disguised themselves as the imperial guards and blended in with the crowd of imperial guards. Xuanyuan Jing's hatred for Xuanyuan Chen was so deep that the roots of his teeth were itching for action. He had actually handed two bones that he found difficult to chew to Xuanyuan Chen, but he did not expect him to deal with it so easily.
Xuanyuan Jing walked over to the imperial guards and checked the stolen goods. He saw Xie Qingrong and felt that the appearance of the imperial guard army was somewhat familiar, but he could not recognize Xie Qingrong. He asked sternly: "Who are you? "Why haven't I seen him before?"
Xie Qingrong looked at her in disdain for a moment, then took off the helmet on her head, causing her hair to fall down like a waterfall.
Xuanyuan Jing suddenly said: "No wonder this king felt that it was familiar, so it's Miss Xie. But, why would the Miss Xie act like a royal guard? "Why is third brother's fiancee in such a shameful state?"
Hearing that, Xie Qingrong raised her eyebrow, a trace of killing intent flashed deep within his eyes, the look in his eyes became extremely cold, and she sneered: "Where did you hide your identity? Shame? King Jing can use the same method to hide Miss Ye within the imperial guards, so why can't I? "
Xuanyuan Jing quirked his lips, then laughed: "Miss Xie is different from Ning Yu. Two months later, Miss Xie will become Princess Consort Chen."
"Oh?" Xie Qingrong asked, "So King Jing's heart had another background. I had thought that King Jing had feelings for Miss Ye, and when we investigated the case, I even brought Miss Ye along.
What a sharp tongue.
Xuanyuan Jing said: "This prince does not have that intention, Miss Xie does not dare to speak nonsense."
The corner of Xie Qingrong's mouth raised to form an ice-cold arc, and sarcastically said, "What King Jing means is something I won't dare to randomly guess. Prince Chen is always so busy that his feet never touch the ground, yet he has so much spare time to waste on me, this is truly a bit unexpected. "
The veins on Xuanyuan Jing's forehead were unable to endure it any longer as he forced out a smile, and said: "Miss Xie sure knows how to joke around."
"Heh." Xie Qingrong sneered, and watched Xuanyuan Jing leave as if nothing had happened. Ye Ningyu was about to make her move, she stepped forward and ridiculed Xie Qingrong: "With your disheveled long hair, are you afraid that others will not be able to tell that you are a woman?"
Xie Qingrong stared at Ye Ningyu coldly, her eyes filled with dense disdain and ridicule, "Do you think that these people can't even tell our identities? Innocent! If not for your prior warning, I'm afraid that you would already be in the capital. "
"You!" Ye Ningyu choked on Xie Qingrong's words, she was at a loss for words.
Ye Ningyu left with a heavy heart.
On the way back to the capital, Xuanyuan Chen often rode his horse carriage and went around to the back, walking shoulder-to-shoulder with Xie Qingrong.
One day, Xuanyuan Chen rode on Xun Mei's back and went over to Xie Qingrong's side. Xie Qingrong dismounted and rested under the tree.
Ye Ningyu could not hold it in for a long time, she could not suppress the eagerness in her eyes, and went up to the two of them, and smiled at Xuanyuan Chen obsequiously: "Big Brother Chen, is this your horse?"
Xuanyuan Chen nodded coldly.
Ye Ningyu smiled, as if the sunlight had lost all color. "Do you have a name? Can I ride for a while? "
Xuanyuan Chen said indifferently, "Xun Mei." He answered the former question, but didn't answer the latter question. He silently expressed his rejection.
However, Ye Ningyu seemed to not understand the reason behind Xuanyuan Chen's silent rejection, and continued to smile coquettishly, "Big Brother Chen, if I ride on Xun Mei later, will Xun Mei throw me off? If Xun Mei ditched me, Big Brother Chen, you will definitely protect me from behind, right? "
Xie Qingrong hugged her arms, coldly watching Ye Ningyu's actions that seemed like she was going to stick close to him, the coldness in her eyes became more and more intense. Xuanyuan Chen only felt as if his back was being locked by an ice-cold gaze, and he almost didn't need to think to know that it was Xie Qingrong.
Xuanyuan Chen pursed his lips, gave a shallow smile, and said: "Miss Ye, this king doesn't know whether Xun Mei likes you or not, but you can touch it."
Hearing that, Ye Ningyu raised her charming smile, her beautiful eyes were filled with innocence and anticipation. If Xie Qingrong had never seen her twisted face before, then she would probably have been deceived at this moment.
Ye Ningyu carefully touched Xun Mei, but unexpectedly, Xun Mei suddenly turned her head.
Seeing that, Xie Qingrong pursed her lips, whistled, and Xun Mei immediately went over to Xie Qingrong's side, using her head to rub against Xie Qingrong's face.
Xie Qingrong's ice-cold expression slowly softened. The lines of her original face were extremely cold and hard, and under Xun Mei's touch, they became extremely gentle.
Seeing this, Ye Ningyu was so angry that her entire body trembled.
She knew that it was Xie Qingrong playing tricks on her. If not for Xie Qingrong, how could Xun Mei not let her touch him?
He rushed forward and questioned Xie Qingrong loudly, "Are you playing some tricks!? You just cannot get close to me, Big Brother Chen! "
Xie Qingrong's hand continued to stroke Xun Mei non-stop, ignoring her questions.
Ye Ningyu anxiously walked forward and pulled Xie Qingrong away, but just as her fingertips touched Xie Qingrong's sleeves, Ye Ningyu had flipped her back with force.
Ye Ningyu felt pain, she inhaled a mouthful of cold air, but she clenched her teeth and bit her lips, not willing to cry out in pain in front of Xie Qingrong, and lose her final bit of dignity.
However, her gaze landed on the indifferent Xuanyuan Chen, she bit her lips, and carefully expressed her weakness, "Big Brother Chen, I feel a bit of pain."
Xuanyuan Chen glanced at her indifferently, then turned and left.
Ye Ningyu looked at Xuanyuan Chen's back figure who was walking far away unwillingly, and when she thought about how Xie Qingrong had folded her hands behind her back, and how so many imperial guards were secretly observing him, a sense of humiliation gradually surfaced in her heart.
She lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes covering the resentment that flashed past her eyes.
When Xie Qingrong saw her expression, she felt bored and let go of her hand. Her clear voice sounded beside Ye Ningyu's ears: "This is the second time she's warning me, if there's a next time, it won't be as simple as dealing with you."
Ye Ningyu rubbed her swollen wrist, looking at Xie Qingrong's slender and graceful back, her lips curled into a disdainful sneer.
Xie Qingrong, why do you have to think so much of yourself.
