"Where did A Rong go just now?" Xuanyuan Chen asked, his gaze fixated on Xie Qingrong who was opening the curtain and entering the tent.
There were already three dishes and a soup prepared in the tent. The life in the military camp was extremely difficult, only a simple vegetarian diet.
However, that was all.
"I went to look for General Xie just now and asked him a few questions." Xie Qingrong replied.
Xuanyuan Chen nodded his head, he did not care about what Xie Qingrong asked, and said indifferently: Let's have lunch.
"A Rong?" Xuanyuan Chen called out to Xie Qingrong softly once again. Unfortunately, Xie Qingrong was immersed in her own thoughts and blocked all sound from the outside world.
From the very beginning, Xie Qingrong looked like she was completely distracted, all the way until lunch, Xie Qingrong's attention wandered from time to time, to the point that even after Xuanyuan Chen called out to her a few times, she did not react.
Her pretty eyebrows raised up helplessly, as she stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Xie Qingrong's eyes, pulling Xie Qingrong's mind back to reality.
"Hmm. "What's wrong?" Xie Qingrong asked softly.
Xuanyuan Chen was a little helpless, and asked in concern: "What happened? If we don't eat properly, what will happen to our bodies when we get hungry? "
Xie Qingrong looked at the almost untouched rice in the bowl and stuffed a few grains of rice into her mouth. As expected, it was already a little cold, and she smiled embarrassedly: "I was thinking about something just now, and forgot it in an instant.
"You." Xuanyuan Chen laughed and tapped Xie Qingrong's nose as he smiled lovingly.
"My prince, I am actually not the biological daughter of the General Xie." Xie Qingrong suddenly dropped a heavy pound, almost fainting on the spot.
Xuanyuan Chen's profound eyes flashed with a trace of astonishment, "I had already expected this. When Shang Zhiqing was betrothed to you that day, I felt that it was a little strange. If she is your sibling who had been separated for many years, why didn't she mention anything about the General Xie and Shang Huaiyue? "
"Shang Huaiyue's background is powerful, perhaps she has her reservations when not mentioning it, but General Xie, no matter what Shang Zhiqing does, it's impossible for him to forget her own biological father, so it's very possible that General Xie is not your father."
Hearing that, Xie Qingrong paused for a moment with the chopsticks in her hands, she then swallowed the rice in her mouth, "Since you noticed it already, then why didn't you tell me about it that day?"
Xuanyuan Chen scratched his nose, "I have always felt that A Rong is extremely intelligent, but she would definitely be suspicious of such a strange thing. Furthermore, the heart that your mother left for you, although you have not yet explained the matter of your father, only a few words have told you that General Xie is not your father. "
Xie Qingrong raised her eyebrows, and said coldly: "Prince, you mean you blame me for not discovering this sooner?"
Hearing that Prince Xie Qingrong had shouted out, Xuanyuan Chen knew that he was definitely unhappy, so he helplessly wrapped his arms around Xie Qingrong's waist and hugged him.
He picked up the chopsticks and helped her eat, while explaining, "I didn't mean that, why would A Rong misunderstand my meaning?"
"Hmph." Xie Qingrong snorted coldly, and didn't resist Xuanyuan Chen's feeding. She gave Xuanyuan Chen a sidelong glance and said: "I've barely forgiven you this time."
"However, I don't quite understand what is the purpose of Mother's painstaking concealment of my ancestry? General Xie told me that my mother and sister had disappeared on their own. But I suspect that my mother and sister were taken away. What is the purpose of their taking away my mother and sister? " Xie Qingrong said somewhat hesitantly.
Why didn't he take him with him?
This was precisely what she was puzzled about.
Xuanyuan Chen scooped up a spoonful of the hot soup and blew on it gently to ensure that the hot soup was not scalding hot. Then, he placed it near Xie Qingrong's lips.
Satisfied, he watched as Xie Qingrong finished the hot soup before asking, "What else did General Xie tell you?"
Xie Qingrong frowned, carefully considering the details of what Xie Jing had told her, and indeed, she did not have any doubts other than that there was something wrong with Xie Jing's warning to him when she left at the end.
"He warned me to be careful of those people. "However, he never told us who those people were." Xie Qingrong asked doubtfully.
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Chen's deep eyes flashed with a dark light. He still remembered that other than himself and the people his royal father had sent to protect Xie Qingrong, there were other people who were eyeing the General's Estate covetously.
Thinking about it now, the one they were eyeing with their eyes was Xie Qingrong!
Who exactly was the servant who plotted against Xie Qingrong by jumping into the lake to commit suicide?
When Xie Qingrong was severely injured, what did the mysterious totem tattoo on the arrow head represent?
Why had royal father entrusted him to protect Xie Qingrong, what did he know?
One after another of unanswered questions emerged into Xuanyuan Chen's mind. Many things he had previously forgotten that were not right, began gushing out like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
Xuanyuan Chen pursed his lips together and his body unconsciously emitted a layer of coldness.
Xie Qingrong, who was in Xuanyuan Chen's embrace, felt waves of coldness come from Xuanyuan Chen's body. The center of his brows slightly knitted as his heart ached and he couldn't help but tightly hug Xuanyuan Chen.
He asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"
Hearing Xie Qingrong's worried words, Xuanyuan Chen came back to reality from her thoughts, she shook her head, her lips were still pursed tightly, and said with an unfriendly tone: "Many suspicions arose in my mind, each suspicion has not been explained. I have always felt a mysterious hand pushing me and you, and you and I were forced to move forward. "
The feeling of being threatened and held back was extremely unbearable.
Xie Qingrong's black eyes flashed with a trace of killing intent, the scarlet color flashed for a second before fading, "What are you suspecting?"
Xuanyuan Chen rubbed Xie Qingrong's smooth and black hair, curled her lips, and laughed: "The purpose of Wu Huan's withdrawal, Shang Zhiqing's sudden appearance in front of you, Ji Rufeng's background, why Qi Yun became the Regent, the instructions from royal father, are all unusual. A Rong, do you smell the darkness and decline of this seemingly peaceful world? "
Hearing this, Xie Qingrong's hand that was hugging Xuanyuan Chen tightened slightly, her fingertips trembling slightly, the situation didn't seem to be looking good.
From the moment she woke up, everything seemed to be wrong.
All the memories in this body seemed incomplete.
Who exactly was Shang Huaiyue, what kind of power was she? Was there really such a mysterious existence in this world? Even now, they still knew nothing.
Xie Qingrong pursed her lips, as though she had already made some guesses in her heart, and muttered a few sentences beside Xuanyuan Chen's ear.'s expression immediately changed greatly.
