The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei
Chapter 26 Revealing the truth
In the courtyard, the moon was bright and clear, casting a ray of light through Xie Shuting's body. Her ethereal back made Zhao Zhen look a little dazed.
Uncle Qin stretched out his hand to stop Zhao Zhen's steps. With his cold eyes, Zhao Zhen seemed to be in a trance.
He could see before that Uncle Qin was somewhat respectful to Xie Shuting when he accompanied her, but at this moment, it was even more evident that he was a loyal servant caring about his master.
Zhao Zhen naturally didn't know the reason. He waved happily and prepared to return to the hut, but a soft voice like that of an oriole came to his ears.
"Uncle Qin! Please go down first! I have something to discuss with Master Zhao."
Uncle Qin looked at Zhao Zhen beside him, then stroked his hand towards Xie Shuting's back and said, "I obey your command."
With the change of address, Xie Shuting knew that she could not go back to the past. She did not want to expose herself too early, but now she had no choice but to do so in order to save Yan Shuang.
"Uncle Qin! No matter how I change, I am still that weak little girl. You have watched me grow up since I was a child. I will always remember this affection in my heart."
"Miss! I... understand." Uncle Qin said with tears in his eyes.
"Go! There's nothing to do here for now."
Uncle Qin glanced at Xie Shuting's back, then glanced at Zhao Zhen, and then walked towards the escort with heavy steps.
Zhao Zhen listened to the words that made no sense, touched his nose happily and walked forward and said: "I am Zhao Zhen, may I ask your advice?"
The moonlight was dim, and Xie Shuting turned around in a flash. She raised her hands, and although she was only a teenager, she exuded an indescribable nobleness.
Zhao Zhen was very familiar with this temperament. It was unique to the concubines in the imperial palace, or to those in power.
"My humble name is Xie Weiyu, nice to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Xie Shuting said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
She still remembered Zhao Zhen's appearance clearly. She had been married to this man for more than ten years. How could she forget it?
Zhao Zhen was stunned when he heard this. Faced with Xie Shuting's words that exposed his past, his originally calm expression took on a hint of coldness.
The scene fell into silence for a moment, and suddenly a breeze swept across the scene, and Zhao Zhen laughed loudly: "Xie Miss! I don't understand what you are saying. I dare not speak carelessly about the title of the crown prince. This is a serious crime that will implicate all nine generations of my clan."
Xie Shuting couldn't help but sneer when she heard this: "Mr. Zhao! It doesn't matter if you don't want to admit it, but you took Yan Shuang into danger today, and I will definitely put this matter on your head."
"You...what do you mean?" Zhao Zhen subconsciously took a step back while speaking. With a sharp pain in his chest, he couldn't help coughing a few times.
"Ahem!~"
Xie Shuting had already noticed Zhao Zhen's illness. Seeing that he looked a little pale, she couldn't help but frown and said, "Are you poisoned? That shouldn't be the case!"
"How do you know? Are you a doctor?" Zhao Zhen asked repeatedly.
Xie Shuting also found it funny, because Zhao Zhen was indeed poisoned by the second prince back then, but that was after he seized the throne. It was not a good sign if it happened in advance.
Xie Shuting calmed down and said, "I don't know the art of medicine, but I do have some experience in reading people's faces. The poison of Mr. Zhao cannot be cured by ordinary people."
Listening to Xie Shuting's reckless words, Zhao Zhen was at a loss at the moment. Now that his true colors had been exposed and the other party had completely taken the initiative, he was in a passive position.
"Hey!~"
Zhao Zhen sighed helplessly and said, "Since Miss Xie knows my identity and exposes it without any scruples, I guess you want something?"
"It's good to deal with smart people." Xie Shuting smiled and said, "I will help Mr. Zhao solve the problem, but Mr. Zhao needs to agree to one request of mine?"
"Oh! I am looking forward to Miss Xie's request. I wonder what Miss Xie wants to say?"
"The time has not yet come. Mr. Zhao, please keep your promise when the time comes." Xie Shuting bowed as she spoke. At this moment, she once again transformed into the demeanor of a lady from a wealthy family.
As Xie Shuting's temperament changed several times, Zhao Zhen was also a little dazed at the moment, and said with a hint of doubt: "Miss Xie just said that she would solve my troubles. I wonder if it was detoxification or..."
"I'm not good at detoxification, but I can still ambush and kill the pursuers in this ancient temple." While speaking, Xie Shuting slowly walked to the side.
Zhao Zhen's expression was startled, and he hurriedly caught up with her and asked softly, "Thank you for staying, young lady. I have something I don't understand, and I hope you can enlighten me."
Xie Shuting turned around and looked at Zhao Zhen. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhao, do you want to know how I knew this?"
Zhao Zhen nodded to confirm what Xie Shuting said. After all, he was also very curious why the other party was so sure that there would be pursuers.
"Mr. Zhao's whereabouts are top secret. Apart from the emperor, I'm afraid only his entourage knows about it. If the emperor hadn't leaked it, who would Mr. Zhao think of?"
Zhao Zhen was shocked when he heard this, his face full of disbelief, and he scolded: "Impossible! They are all carefully selected guards, how could it be..."
"In this world, apart from fame and fortune, Master Zhao, do you think there is anything else that can buy them off? Whether it is true or not will be revealed tonight."
Xie Shuting shook her head helplessly. She didn't know how Zhao Zhen got to the throne in his previous life. She was thinking about Yan Shuang at the moment, so she ignored Zhao Zhen and walked forward on her own.
Unexpectedly! She had just taken a step when she heard Zhao Zhen shouting, "Wait!"
"Mr. Zhao! Is there anything else?" Xie Shuting said with a hint of displeasure on her face.
"Thank you, Miss!"
Zhao Zhen shouted, and asked with a puzzled expression, "I wonder how Miss Xie and Ke Jun met?"
"Oh! Mr. Zhao doesn't care about his own safety, but cares about other people's affairs. It seems that Mr. Zhao doesn't believe my inference."
"Miss Xie, you are overthinking it. I... I just..." Zhao Zhen seemed to be speechless for a moment, and the words he was thinking in his heart were hard to say.
Ever since he saw Xie Shuting, he always had an inexplicably familiar feeling in his heart. But when he saw how much she devoted to Yan Shuang, he couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
Xie Shuting didn't know what Zhao Zhen felt in her heart, and she was too lazy to speculate. As long as she didn't have too many entanglements with Zhao Zhen in this life, she could follow the course of history and marry Yan Shuang safely.
Unexpectedly! Just as Xie Shuting was about to leave, Lian Xi stepped forward and said, "Miss! The escort in the dark just reported that a group of men in black came down the mountain and headed straight for the ancient temple. Miss, be careful."
"Notify them and have the escorts cooperate to solve the problem..." Xie Shuting lowered her voice and whispered a few more words into Lian Lianxi's ear: "They are one of us! Be sure to protect them."
"Yes!~" Lian Xi responded and quickly went to prepare.
Xie Shuting turned around and looked at Zhao Zhen with a smile and said, "Master Zhao! Remember what you promised me before. If I can ask you for help one day, please promise me."
Looking at Xie Shuting's departing back, Zhao Zhen inexplicably felt a sense of being abandoned, and this feeling made him very tormented.
