750 Exposed (5)
“It is the crime of treason and of deceiving the royal family, which is enough to get your entire family implicated and executed. I think you saw what happened to Shen Wan back then. Are you still going to lie to me?”
Shen Miao said, “I didn’t lie.”
“You won’t shed a tear until you see the coffin, right?” Princess Rong Xin’s voice was chilling. “If your answer today doesn’t satisfy me, as long as I mention it to my brother, what awaits your Shen family will be a catastrophe. Do you want your parents and brother to die for your willfulness?”
Shen Miao didn’t speak.
Princess Rong Xin slowly continued, “Now, tell me, Prince Rui is Xie Jingxing, who died in battle, right?”
“No.” Shen Miao said firmly, as if the terrifying threats from Princess Rong Xin before were nothing.
“Shen Miao!” Princess Rong Xin was furious. “I will send the entire Shen family to prison!”
“You can’t without a justifiable reason.”
“As long as I want, I can put anyone to prison.” Princess Rong Xin threatened.
Shen Miao sneered in her heart. The royal family was just like this, unreasonable and domineering. Even Princess Rong Xin, who was the most impartial, would not hesitate to use imperial power to bully people when she wanted to reach her goal.
Humans were complicated and selfish.
“Let me ask you again. Is Prince Rui Xie Jingxing?”
“No.”
Princess Rong Xin was infuriated. Usually, she admired Shen Miao for being calm and collected. When this calmness was used to deal with her, Princess Rong Xin felt that she was facing a wall that she couldn’t penetrate. Ordinary girls would be terrified after being threatened, but Shen Miao was not.
“Guards!” Princess Rong Xin’s expression darkened. “Take Shen Miao…”
Before she could finish, the rest of her words were swallowed back down.
A purple figure jumped in through the back window. There was no one guarding the backyard, so no one saw him. That person was dressed in dark purple brocade robe, and the corner of his robe was embroidered with a pattern Princess Rong Xin was most familiar with.
After he entered the room, he took a look and walked up to Shen Miao leisurely. As if he was in his own mansion, he stood in front of Princess Rong Xin and said lazily and unhurriedly, “She’s timid. Auntie Rong, don’t scare her.”
Princess Rong Xin had been silent since she saw this person. She stood rooted to the ground in a daze. When she heard him call her “Auntie Rong”, she pointed at him and was so trembling that she could not speak.
In this small room, the candlelight swayed slightly. The person played with the ring on his thumb and was wearing a half-silver mask. The mask emitted a cold light, revealing a faint smile on his red lips.
Shen Miao stared at Xie Jingxing in disbelief. She did not expect Xie Jingxing to have the guts to show up in front of Princess Rong Xin! It had to be known that Xie Jingxing had already died on the battlefield in the northern border two years ago. If Xie Jingxing was seen alive and having taken the identity of Prince Rui, what awaited him was unimaginable.
How dare he?
