Shen Haoxuan smacked the corner of his eye, he quietly covered his heart, and slowly took out a bag from his pocket. He took out a stack of papers from his bag, flipped through it, took out one and handed it over to Xie Qingrong.
"Little wangfei, I'll give this to you. You need to take good care of it. I hope you and the prince will have a good relationship for a hundred years."
Shen Haoxuan silently rolled his eyes, and sat back down on his chair as if he was a coward.
Shen Haoxuan's head moved closer, and following the exclamations of shock, it was enough to see how breathtaking it would be if this weapon was made.
Shen Haoxuan had long known that Xuanyuan Chen had a fiancee that he could marry by name, but he had only heard that Xie Qingrong was often bullied in the General's Residence.
But the Xie Qingrong he saw today was definitely not one of those cowardly girls. Someone who could think of such a complicated and exquisite weapon was definitely not a mediocre person.
Then, had this Xie Qingrong been hiding her true self all these years? Such skill.
Shen Haoxuan and Xuanyuan Chen quickly looked at each other, then Shen Haoxuan asked: "Can you give me this blueprint?"
If he could craft this weapon and sell it in the martial arts world, he would be able to make quite a large fortune.
Unfortunately, Xie Qingrong shook her head and rejected Shen Haoxuan, saying with a cold face: "This, can it be produced?"
Shen Haoxuan was disappointed for a moment, but quickly calmed himself down and told Xie Qingrong: "This, to find a craftsman to make things difficult for us, he should be able to do it."
Xie Qingrong nodded her head, returned the map to Xuanyuan Chen's hands and said: "Then I'll leave this to you, it's getting late, I should go back now."
"Black Turtle."
"Your subordinate is here." A man in black suddenly appeared in the study.
"From now on, you'll be in charge of the future princess' safety."
"Yes." Xuan Wu knelt on one knee, respectfully kowtowing to Xuanyuan Chen. Then, he stood up, faced Xie Qingrong, and kowtowed as well.
Xie Qingrong expressionlessly looked at the floor as she knelt, but a look of satisfaction flashed past her eyes. She turned around, pushed open the study door, and went out. Black Turtle followed him out.
Until the sound of their footsteps gradually disappeared.
Only then did Shen Haoxuan put away his disrespectful expression and asked Xuanyuan Chen calmly, "What happened?"
Xuanyuan Chen was not in a hurry to answer him. He just moved all the trash on the table away, laid out a good piece of Xuan paper, and picked up the brush to start drawing.
Shen Haoxuan was not in a hurry as he patiently watched Xuanyuan Chen draw.
After drawing for a while, he managed to get a rough outline. Only then did Xuanyuan Chen answer Shen Haoxuan's question, "She is very special."
The corner of Shen Haoxuan's mouth twitched.
"What else? There are so many special people in this world, yet you chose her. "
Xuanyuan Chen did not answer Shen Haoxuan's question. He only asked Shen Haoxuan: "How much do you know about Xie Qingrong?"
"It is said that she is very timid and weak. But according to the Xie Qingrong today, the rumors did not seem to be believable. " Shen Haoxuan rubbed his chin, then added, "However, why did you go to the General's Estate the night before yesterday?"
Xuanyuan Chen seemed to have thought of something and said with a faint smile, "That night, I found out that something had happened to Xie Qingrong and rushed over to the general's estate. When I arrived, Xie Qingrong was already at the shore.
Interesting thing?
Tch, he was really looking forward to something that Xuanyuan Chen found interesting.
Shen Haoxuan could not wait and asked: "What's interesting?"
"You definitely wouldn't have imagined that with only the power of a single hand, she would snap the throat of the butler and make an example for him." Especially that dark, indifferent, and bloodthirsty look in her eyes afterwards. It was as if he had experienced countless bloody battles, crawling out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
However, she was only fifteen years old.
Before this, everyone had thought her a coward.
Xuanyuan Chen didn't say the rest of his words, but Shen Haoxuan had already completely comprehended it. It was indeed impossible for him to imagine a fifteen year old girl breaking a middle-aged man's throat with her bare hands.
There must be some unknown secret concealed on this Xie Qingrong.
"So, you suspect that Xie Qingrong was the one behind the Lotus Pond incident. Shen Haoxuan asked.
"That's a possibility." Xuanyuan Chen looked at him leisurely, then smiled and said: "However, isn't it very interesting?"
Shen Haoxuan's handsome face bloomed into an unfathomable smile, "That's true, very compatible with you."
Xuanyuan Chen did not answer, neither did he deny it nor admit it.
He only placed the brush down and stopped drawing. The painting on the desk had yet to take shape, but the outline of a woman could still be vaguely seen. She was extremely delicate and exquisite.
Shen Haoxuan's gaze turned towards the unfinished drawing on the desk, curled his lips and asked: "This painting is the little wangfei, right?"
Xuanyuan Chen slightly nodded, and it could be considered that he had admitted it. Then, he got up and walked to the window. He tapped his index finger on the horizontal log by the window and said with a smile, "I am somewhat looking forward to how far Xie Qingrong can grow."
Shen Haoxuan looked at Xuanyuan Chen's eyes that had a hint of expectation and laughter in them, and actually felt that his mood was extremely good. Hence, he walked to the side of the window and patted Xuanyuan Chen's shoulder, and asked: "To what extent do you think she can achieve?"
"Maybe it's my height."
Shen Haoxuan did not find it strange, he had always believed in Xuanyuan Chen's judgement, hence he smiled and said: "I am also looking forward to it." "But Chen, don't you think it's strange?"
"Hmm?"
"Don't you think it's too much of a coincidence? Xie Qingrong jumped into the lake and you received the news. "
Xuanyuan Chen couldn't deny it, he didn't reply to Shen Haoxuan's question, he only asked him a question, "Do you know why Xie Qingrong wanted to jump into the lake?"
