Xie Jing Xing was too lazy to care about him and looked around for other things.
At the same time, Shen Miao was holding a torch and quietly walking in the dark secret passage. Compared to her usual slow pace, this time she was walking in a much more urgent manner. There was no other reason other than she did not know when Shen Qiu would come over and before Shen Qiu came over, she had to get that thing.
This secret chamber of Prince Yu residence was discovered by Fu Xiu Yi in the beginning. She had inadvertently overheard the conversation between Fu Xiu Yi and Pei Lang. At that time Pei Lang copied a picture of Liu Yuan's night banquet and told Fu Xiu Yi that the mechanism of the secret chamber of Prince Yu residence was on the lapel of the main character of the night banquet. At that time Pei Lang also said, "The thing is in the secret chamber and Your Majesty can explore it."
Shen Miao did not know what the 'thing' was but at that time listening to Pei Lang and Fu Xiu Yi's tone, that 'thing' should be very important to Fu Xiu Yi. When Shen Miao talked to the Chen brothers about exterminating the entire family, other than not leaving any future troubles, it was also because of this matter.
If the entire family was not exterminated and the people of Prince Yu residence remained, perhaps someone would know the secret of the secret chamber and if they discovered her actions, one fear that it would cause a disaster. Now that the people of Prince Yu residence were all dead, presumably this secret had not been discovered yet. After all in the previous lifetime when Fu Xiu Yi knew of this matter, he had already ascended to the throne.
As long as that 'thing' was very important to Fu Xiu Yi or was beneficial to him, then Fu Xiu Yi must not obtain it. Either destroy it or send it to the hands of Fu Xiu Yi's enemies. At least with this' thing ', in the future when dealing with Fu Xiu Yi, there would be one more bargaining chip.
This was the reason why she followed Shen Qiu to the residence of Prince Yu today.
Shen Miao caressed the walls of the secret chamber as she walked in. This secret chamber was winding endlessly and was much longer than what she imagined. After turning another corner, the front suddenly opened up, as if from a narrow corridor into a spacious main hall. There were rows of torches hanging on the stone walls, illuminating the entire chamber.
And in that chamber, there was a coffin lying horizontally and in front of the coffin, there were actually two people standing.
Shen Miao had yet to move when she heard one of them shouting, "Who is it!"
That voice was very familiar. She didn't even have time to distinguish it before she saw two figures suddenly turn around in the bright firelight, revealing two familiar faces.
Xie Jing Xing, Gao Yang.
Why would Xie Jing Xing come here? Gao Yang was not someone from the Imperial Physician Institute so why would he be with Xie Jing Xing?
Even someone as calm as Shen Miao was also stunned. What followed was a moment of confusion in her mind. Those doubts from earlier circled and took root in his heart, but it was as if he had suddenly found an exit. In the time it took for a spark to fly off a flint, it was as if something was about to break through the air.
"Shen Miao!" Gao Yang's eyes were also filled with astonishment. He then looked at Xie Jing Xing and said, "Do it!"
Shen Miao's eyes stared and only felt that the sky and earth were spinning. Before she could see clearly the figure that flashed past her, her body was heavily pushed and her back slammed into the stone wall behind her, causing her to suck in a breath of cold air in pain. Following that, a slender hand grasped her throat and Xie Jing Xing's handsome face was right in front of her.
Xie Jing Xing almost pressed Shen Miao's entire body against the stone wall. His cold clothes touched Shen Miao's face and his hands were also icy cold. It was clearly a pair of eyes that were as dazzling as the scorching sun and the curvature of his lips made one intoxicated but his gaze was so sober that it was almost cold.
"Shen Miao cannot be left alive." Gao Yang quickly said, "This matter is of great importance. It is her misfortune that she died here today. Leave the corpse here and let's go out. No one will discover it. Third Xie, do not be soft-hearted. Do it!"
Shen Miao looked at Xie Jing Xing. The hand that was holding her neck was slender and good looking but it was ferocious as it firmly clasped and did not loosen.
The purple-clothed youth's eyes were even more profound under the light of the lantern. Every stroke of his was like a spirit walking out of a painting. The more beautiful he was, the more cruel his smile was. It was like a cat catching a mouse. However, what was revealed in his eyes was absolute indifference and killing intent.
He really wanted to kill her.
Shen Miao looked at him motionlessly. That pair of clear eyes was even brighter than the first snow in spring. There was no sadness or joy in it, as if it could reflect a person's life.
Xie Jing Xing's eyes moved slightly and his lips suddenly hooked up into a smile. His other hand gently covered Shen Miao's eyes. He bent his head slightly and moved closer to Shen Miao's ear, as if he was whispering to a lover.
"Do not look at me. I will not be able to bear it."
