As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 505
In Wangyue Tower, Xie Zhaozhao embroidered a pattern that he planned to put on his pajamas.

Grandma commented that it was good.

At least it is very good for people who are embroidering for the first time. They also say that Xie Zhaozhao is extremely talented.

Xie Zhaozhao felt a little happy in his ears, sighing that hard work really pays off.

Sitting for too long causes back pain and stiff neck.

She moved reluctantly and looked at the sky outside.

It's very late.

She put down her needlework and asked the nuns and embroiderers accompanying her to retreat and rest. She asked casually, "My second brother hasn't come back yet?"

"Nope."

Hongxia frowned and replied: "It's been a while, even if you had dinner there, it's time to come back... You won't spend the night there, right?"

Xie Huan had spent the night at the princess' mansion before.

But now that Xie Changqing has taken him there, isn't it weird that he still spends the night there?

At this moment, the sound of clicking upstairs came. Hongxia opened the door and asked, and after a while she said to Xie Zhaozhao: "Back!"

"it is good."

Xie Zhaozhao nodded and rubbed his stiff and sore neck, "Then let's go out too."

Xie Zhaozhao thought that Xie Changqing must have sent Xie Huan back to Changfeng Garden in person first, and then returned to his own courtyard, so he went to wait for him on his way back to his courtyard.

Sure enough, within half an hour, Xie Changqing was seen coming from a distance along the corridor.

A lantern was hung one foot away from the corridor. On a midwinter night, the cold wind blew and the lanterns swayed gently.

Xie Changqing was still wearing a simple dark blue suit with his cuffs tied, and he strode forward under the dim light of the lantern that fell on the floor of the corridor.

When he saw Xie Zhaozhao standing in the pavilion, Xie Changqing was stunned for another moment.

It's already very late, Xie Zhaozhao shouldn't be here at this hour.

She was here to wait for him.

Xie Changqing paused for a moment and then stepped forward, "It's cold outside, let's find a place to talk."

"it is good."

Xie Zhaozhao said: "This is closer to the second brother's yard, why not go there?"

Xie Changqing didn't say a word, nodded and went forward.

Xie Zhaozhao followed behind.

Xie Changqing and Sha Lan's yards were next to each other. When he passed Sha Lan's yard, he glanced inside and saw that it was dark inside, so he looked away and continued walking to his own yard.

After entering the wing, Xie Zhaozhao was about to take off his cloak.

Xie Changqing stopped her: "Put it on, it's cold here, don't freeze you."

"Not so squeamish."

Xie Zhaozhao chuckled lightly, but took off his cloak and gave it to Xiang Rong to hold. He walked to the table and sat down, and glanced at the room casually.

This was the first time she came to Xie Changqing's residence after returning to Beijing.

There are only three words that give her the feeling here.

Cold, big, empty.

It doesn't feel like someone has been living here for two months, but it feels like it has been empty for a long time.

Xie Changqing stood in the house as if he were a guest.

This doesn't fit him at all.

"There's no more tea." Xie Changqing sat down casually, "I'll have someone make it."

"No."

Xie Zhaozhao came to his senses and shook his head: "I'm not here to drink tea, I'm here to chat with my second brother."

"Ah."

Xie Changqing nodded: "Just tell me what you want to talk about."

Xie Zhaozhao raised his hand, and Xiangrong and Hongxia, who followed, went to the corridor outside.Xie Zhaozhao then looked at Xie Changqing and said, "Second brother, you...how do you plan to settle Shalan? She is already going into labor, so there should be an explanation, right?"

Xie Changqing frowned slightly: "I know, but I haven't thought about it yet."

"What have you not thought about?"

Xie Zhaozhao considered the words for a moment and spoke slowly, "Second brother has been very diligent in going to Princess Anyang's Mansion recently. I think I still can't let go of what happened back then."

Xie Changqing suddenly raised his eyes and looked towards Xie Zhaozhao.

"I...I know something." Xie Zhaozhao sighed lightly: "I came to see the second brother today not to preach anything to the second brother, but as a kind reminder that some things cannot be delayed."

"The longer it takes, the more likely things will happen."

Xie Changqing narrowed his eyes: "What happened?"

"To be honest, second brother, His Majesty seems to have the intention of granting a marriage to you and Princess Anyang. He has not made a decree yet, maybe he is considering it, but maybe one day he will think about it and the decree will be issued."

"When the time comes that it will be difficult to disobey the holy order, it will not be the time for the second brother to make the decision on his own."

"I hope the second brother will think about it and make up his own mind as soon as possible, so as not to make the situation unsightly."

Xie Changqing fell into silence, frowning and staring at the corner of the table for a long time without making a sound.

Xie Zhaozhao stood up and said, "It's getting late. Second brother, please rest early."

Squeak - snap!

The door closed lightly and Xie Zhaozhao left.

Xie Changqing sat there for a long time without moving. He had loved Yun Xianning deeply before, but because of her marriage, he had been exiled for many years and refused to return to Beijing.

That was the woman he had been thinking about for so many years. Now that he had the chance to renew their relationship, how could it be possible that he had no intention of moving in his heart?

He was looking forward to it, and he was also a little excited in his heart.

But when she thought of the pot-bellied Shalan in the courtyard next door, she was so excited that she was knocked down and scattered all over the floor.

What should she do?
Originally, he knew clearly in his heart that she chased him thousands of miles to the capital to protect his people from harassment and invasion.

But first he was greedy for her body, and then he was tied down by the child and had to take responsibility for her.

Things between them can be explained clearly in a few words.

But now the entanglement is getting tighter and tighter, and it seems that words cannot explain it clearly...

He couldn't help but assume that if he was really given the marriage and the marriage was completed according to the decree, it might not have any impact on other people, and he would get what he wanted, but what would happen to Shalan?
Shalan's eyes, as calm as dead water, came to mind.

Xie Changqing felt short of breath.

After a while, he got up and went to the courtyard next door.

The maid who was keeping watch at night saw him coming and was about to speak out, but Xie Changqing raised her hand to stop her.

There was a creak - Xie Changqing pushed the door open and walked slowly towards the bed.

Shalan wrapped herself tightly in quilt and curled up on the bed, feeling restless in her sleep.

Xie Changqing sat beside the couch and stared at her with a complicated expression.

Shalan seemed to feel something while sleeping and opened her eyes.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Shalan struggled to get up.

Xie Changqing helped her, "Why are you awake?"

When Sha Lan got closer to Xie Changqing, she smelled a faint fragrance.

That does not belong to Xie Changqing.

Shallan stared at him: "Where have you been?"

Xie Changqing's eyes moved slightly and he pursed his lips in silence.

Shallan smiled.

With a bright and delicate smile, she said softly: "I guessed it."

After finishing speaking, she approached Xie Changqing, her slender and beautiful fingers fell on Xie Changqing's cheek, her voice was soft and charming: "Am I beautiful...or is she beautiful?"
