After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

Chapter 375 How about marrying me?

The moment Xiang Hongxuan saw Shen Jinyao, he felt a little relieved.

God knows how worried he was outside.

If there is no movement in another half hour, he will go to the eldest prince for help.

He is no longer a general, and his official rank has been demoted again and again.

The emperor even refused to let him enter the palace.

The worst plan was that he would break into the palace late at night and rescue Shen Jinyao even at the risk of his life.

For the first time, he felt useless.

He even thought of killing the emperor to put an end to it all.

The prince didn't know about his thoughts, but he knew that Shen Jinyao had gone to the harem.

He went to look for someone, and the prince did not stop him.

Xiang Hongxuan no longer cared about anything else and strode to Shen Jinyao's sedan chair.

At this time, the sun was about to set.

The afterglow of the setting sun was scattered in the sky, and the faces of both of them were slightly flushed.

But one is being photographed, and the other is excited.

Shen Jinyao was feeling a little heavy at the moment, but when she saw Xiang Hongxuan, she calmed down and raised the corners of her mouth.

Shen Jinyao: "Xiang Hongxuan, get in the car."

Xiang Hongxuan didn't react, "Huh?"

Shen Jinyao found it a little funny to see Xiang Hongxuan was actually stunned. "Do you want to keep looking up while talking? Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

Xiang Hongxuan heard the teasing in Shen Jinyao's words, his ears turned slightly red, and then he bowed and said he wanted to get on the carriage.

Although the servants in the Shen Mansion were all newly bought, they had all signed life contracts.

Although they knew that it was unusual for a grown man to get into the young lady's carriage, they didn't dare to think too much about it as they were new there.

Seeing that Nanny Li and the others were so calm, and even looked at Master Xiang with gratitude, they knew that they would not harm the eldest lady or the people of the Shen family.

Xiang Hongxuan got into the carriage and stared at Shen Jinyao without blinking.

No matter how thick-skinned Shen Jinyao was, she felt a little embarrassed when being stared at.

The sound of the shaft rolling came from outside the carriage, and Shen Jinyao coughed lightly, interrupting the silence between the two.

"Jin Yao thanks General Xiang for his help today. If..."

Xiang Hongxuan could sense that Shen Jinyao was in a bad mood.

He had known Shen Jinyao for so many years and knew that she was not a person who showed her emotions.

In the past, when facing the public, he always had a faint smile on his face, occasionally joked with his peers, and discussed countermeasures with people in the same industry.

But there are rarely expressions like the one now.

She seemed a little confused.

Her body was no longer as relaxed as before, but extremely tense, as if she was facing a formidable enemy.

Xiang Hongxuan suppressed the emotions churning in his heart and asked in a low voice, "What happened in the palace today?"

Shen Jinyao didn't answer, just thinking about something.

She heard Xiang Hongxuan say softly, "Jin Yao, can you tell me?"

Shen Jinyao came back to her senses and smiled, "It's nothing, actually. How did you know that the Emperor wanted to see me today?"

When Xiang Hongxuan saw that Shen Jinyao didn't say it directly, he knew that the matter was more serious than he imagined.

He now wished he could go to the palace and kill that dog emperor immediately!

But he couldn't do that now, he had to steady the girl in front of him.

Xiang Hongxuan noticed Shen Jinyao's defensiveness and said softly, "To be honest, I only found out about this this morning."

"The eldest prince came to see me, so I hurried to see you."

Shen Jinyao was puzzled, "Why is the eldest prince so kind?"

Shen Jinyao was not surprised at all that the eldest prince knew about it in advance.

After all, when she met the queen today, she knew that the queen was a mother who only had eyes for her son.

According to her guess, the eldest prince is even someone who can influence the queen's mind.

After all, the queen is a simple person.

But as for the eldest prince...it's hard to say.

Xiang Hongxuan naturally would not tell Shen Jinyao that the eldest prince met him that day and mocked him for liking Shen Jinyao but not daring to say it out loud.

They mocked him for being dismissed from his post by the emperor and kicked out of the Xiang family.

He also said that he was already married, unlike Xiang Hongxuan who finally got married but now has lost his marriage.

He broke off his engagement with his fiancée, but instead he was attracted to the woman.

It was also the first time that Xiang Hongxuan could not raise his head in front of the eldest prince.

It’s not as if the eldest prince has any purpose.

There is only one purpose, which is to take advantage of his misfortune and watch him have fun.

Xiang Hongxuan dragged the eldest prince to a deserted place and beat him up.

In the end, the two of them fought for a long time, and the eldest prince gave him a reminder.

He said that the emperor would not let go of the girl from the Shen family, and asked Shen Jinyao to be on guard.

Under Xiang Hongxuan's questioning, the eldest prince told him that day in the hall, the emperor asked Shen Tingyao to enter the palace to accompany the princess.

Xiang Hongxuan's face turned ugly when he thought of the concubines in the emperor's harem.

The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. His mind was full of the words of the eldest prince instigating him, so he went to find Shen Jinyao in a fit of anger at night.

Unexpectedly, the next day the eldest prince found him and said that the emperor wanted to see Shen Jinyao today, so he hurried to find Shen Jinyao.

Fortunately, I met her before Shen Jinyao entered the palace.

Xiang Hongxuan: "Although the eldest prince has different political views from the crown prince, he is a relatively generous person."

Of course, this is excluding the eldest prince's ridicule of Xiang Hongxuan.

"No matter what the eldest prince's intentions are, he doesn't want the emperor to succeed."

Shen Jinyao nodded. She knew that Xiang Hongxuan had not told her the whole truth, and she did not intend to ask further.

After all, no matter what, the eldest prince sent the message to Xiang Hongxuan, and Xiang Hongxuan told her the news as soon as possible so that she could be prepared. This was all for her own good.

Shen Jinyao asked another question in her mind, "So, Concubine Ning is the young eunuch Wuzi?"

Xiang Hongxuan shook his head awkwardly.

"Actually, it's the nickname given to me by Lady Ning."

When Shen Jinyao saw Xiang Hongxuan's embarrassed expression, she couldn't help but think too much.

Could it be that Concubine Ning is Xiang Hongxuan’s childhood sweetheart, his white moonlight?

She felt a little uncomfortable, but she just thought it was because there were too many things going on today.

Xiang Hongxuan saw Shen Jinyao's misunderstanding expression, and he hurriedly explained: "I have known Lady Ning since childhood. I only regarded her as a younger sister. I once saved her family."

"Before she entered the palace, she told me that if I needed any help, I should go to her and call her Xiao Wuzi."

It turned out to be the case.

Shen Jinyao looked at Xiang Hongxuan's face, which seemed to be anxious for explanation, and teased, "What misunderstanding did I have? She was the one who saved me."

"If it weren't for Lady Ning today, I'm afraid I would have become a fugitive who killed the king, and the Shen family would have been implicated as well."

Xiang Hongxuan couldn't help but feel distressed when he heard this.

He thought that Shen Jinyao must have encountered something in the palace that she could not control, which was why she was in such a low mood.

Just like he is now.

"Shen Jinyao."

"Ok?"

"How about marrying me?"
