As soon as Xie Qiao said that, Zhao Xuanjingâs expression immediately became more serious. He immediately called Zhou Weizong and gathered his men to leave the city.
âAs early as an hour ago, the people at the criminal division went out on a task. They also received news that the eldest daughter of the Hou family of Nanâanâs concubine was kidnapped in East City. In addition, there was also the second daughter of the Dong family. It matches the people you mentioned,â Zhao Xuanjing added.
However, the missing person case was not under the jurisdiction of the criminal division. The administrative office had already sent people to search for them.
However, now that Xie Qiao had come personally, it was fine for the administrative office to intervene in this matter.
Soon, all the people were gathered.
Although Xie Qiao could ride a horse, her body was not in good condition. She did not wish to go through bumpy roads, so she got Zhou Weizong lead the way.
Since they had already set off, it was futile to be anxious. Xie Qiao asked about the Crown Princeâs thoughts.
âI heard from Young Lady Xie that you havenât seen her in the past few days? Why is that?â Xie Qiao was very direct.
When she asked this question, the corner of Zhao Xuanjingâs lips twitched.
H-He was accused by his fiancee personally. How should he respond?
âIâm afraid that Young Lady Xie will be shy when she sees me and wouldnât dare to speak.â Zhao Xuanjing was full of nonsense.
âHeheâ, Xie Qiao sneered. âCould it be that Junior Brother feels regretful about the marriage? This sounds like an excuse.â
With that said, Zhao Xuanjing immediately said, âSenior Sister Mo isnât an outsider, so Iâll tell you the truth. Itâs true⦠that I havenât had any thoughts of getting married all these years. Now that the marriage has been set, Iâm a little confused. I donât know how to treat Young Lady Xie to make her think that Iâm a good man.â
He did not want her to think thatâ¦
He was only good-looking.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
With that said, Xie Qiao looked at him in surprise. âSo, you mean⦠itâs not Young Lady Xie who is shy, but you?â
Xie Qiao had Mo Chushengâs disguise on at the moment, so she was thick-skinned enough.
Zhao Xuanjing smiled calmly. âIndeed.â
Xie Qiao pursed her lips and smiled. âDonât worry, Junior Brother. Young Lady Xie is not a monster who eats people.â
Zhao Xuanjing glanced at her with a faint smile, then he shook his head silently.
Once she had this face in disguise, she really did not care about what she said. Was she not afraid that she would be exposed one day?
âMost women need to be coaxed. Your Highness should pay more attention. Otherwise, even if this girl gets married, it wonât be any different from a rock.â Xie Qiao looked like she had been through this before, âBut donât follow Xie Pinggangâs behavior of not caring about women. Heâs destined to be alone throughout his life.â
âJunior Brother will definitely remember Senior Sisterâs words.â Zhao Xuanjing was as obedient as if he was really her junior brother. âSenior Sister, do you know what Young Lady Xie Likes?â
âSilver?â Xie Qiao replied subconsciously. Then, she smiled awkwardly and made a move with an unfathomable expression. âForget about worldly possession like silver. Women love flowers and plants.â
âI see.â Zhao Xuanjing acted very well. âThatâs not bad. I heard that Young Lady Xie saved all of Mr. Sangâs flowers and plants in the Royal Academy. Ordinary people donât have this ability.â
Xie Qiao raised her head slightly.
Of course.
How could ordinary people compare to a masterâs capability?
âItâs nothing. She only knows a little.â Xie Qiao smiled.
She was in good spirits and talked a lot.
Zhao Xuanjing also thought Xie Qiao was full of vitality these few months.
Unlike when they met on the way to the capital, she was panting every three steps and coughing every five steps. She did not like to talk, worried that she would die if she spoke.
âThere will be a palace banquet in a few days. Sheâll be conferred the title of Princess Consort, so sheâll definitely go to the palace to thank the Emperor. I initially thought that I would go and take her there personally on that day. Now that I have met Senior Sister, Iâll have to trouble you to tell her that.â
