After the failed attempt to pretend to be dead, the sickly child was favored by the treacherous mini

It was a dark and windy night. Lu Bai drove a carriage that blended into the night around the alleys of Luoan. After making sure that no one was being followed, Lu Bai stopped the carriage next to a willow tree that had just sprouted.

Chen Luo, dressed in black, got off another carriage and led Xie Nanxing through several turns into a secret passage.

The candlelight in the dark passage was dim, and they couldn't even see each other's faces.

After walking for a long distance along the secret passage, Chen Luo took Xie Nanxing and sat down in an underground secret room.

"Why did the princess want to see me today?"

Chen Luo stood up from the stool and bowed to Xie Nanxing: "Nanxing, I have something to ask of you."

Chen Luo took off all her disguises and came, so Xie Nanxing naturally chose to be honest with her:

"You saved Nanxing and Yang Huai's lives. I will do my best to help you if you ask for anything that does not involve Shen Jinmo."

Luoan can't tolerate too many coincidences.

His health did not improve after Cheng Yangqiu arrived in Luoan, and any prescription Cheng Yangqiu prescribed for him was only given the day after he took his pulse.

Yang Huai's health improved after Chen Luo's hurried visit.

But Xie Nanxing never thought of exposing Chen Luo's identity. After removing their disguises and showing their true faces, they would only have one way to go, and that was death.

Chen Luo raised her hand and pointed in the direction above the secret room: "He is the person Wang Heng gave you. Does he listen to you or Wang Heng?"

"Princess, you can speak boldly about my words."

But Xie Nanxing never hid anything from Shen Jinmo.

With Shen Jinmo being so smart, Xie Nanxing didn't need to do anything for Shen Jinmo to understand the cause and effect.

Time was tight, so Chen Luo didn't dare to delay any longer: "Xun Zhan came to me last night and said that on the day of the Donggong wedding banquet, Xia Ling would personally serve you the wine with love potion in it, in order to avenge Wang Heng by hurting you."

"You will be sitting at the same table with His Highness at the banquet that day. Since you are not in good health, you naturally cannot drink. If you want to drink, His Highness will certainly stop it for you."

"If Xia Ling suddenly changed his mind that day and ordered tea instead, I hope you can lead His Highness to drink the tea that was originally prepared for you."

Xie Nanxing did not have to make this move. It was just in case something unexpected happened, someone could still move the chess piece to its original position and move the game forward one step.

Xie Nanxing tried his best to understand Chen Luo's meaning, but he couldn't take risks in such a matter: "What is the princess's intention?"

Chen Luo looked at Xie Nanxing, with a bright smile on her face: "I am willing to use my body as a chess piece to help my Highness soar to the sky."

Xie Nanxing clasped his hands tightly together and asked, "Is Xun Zhan King Xiaoyao's man?"

Chen Luo shook her head: "Xun Zhan is Xiao Jiu's man, he will only plan for Xiao Jiu sincerely."

The subconscious tenderness revealed by Chen Luo's call of "Xiaojiu" made Xie Nanxing doubt Xia Yu's background.

Even if they have the same mother but different fathers, as long as Xia Yu is Xia Ling's son, then Xia Yu is the son of Xia Che's father's murderer.

Chen Luo shouldn't be addressed with such gentle words.

Many things that cannot be mentioned seem to have begun to become tacit facts.

Xie Nanxing asked again: "Since he is not Xiaoyao King's man, why does the princess trust him?"

"What if it's not a love potion, but a poison?"

Chen Luo came to Xie Nanxing after careful consideration: "If it is poison, I can not only save him, but also make Xia Che bear the crime of poisoning the late emperor's son."

Chen Luo meant that if it was poison, then Xie Nanxing was not the target, and Xie Nanxing was just a part of Xia Ling's process of poisoning Xia Che.

If it was a love potion, both Xia Che and Chen Luo had ended up in this situation due to a series of coincidences.

Xie Nanxing naturally understood that Chen Luo was no ordinary person since she could maneuver around in the imperial power, and she would not be easily fooled by Xun Zhan.

From the current perspective, in this game designed now, everyone seems to want to get something through gambling.

In order to give him a reason to go out, Shen Jinmo even went out of the house to participate in social events. This was what Shen Jinmo thought.

"Okay, I promise, Princess." Xie Nanxing lowered her voice and asked quietly, "Since you are husband and wife, why do you have to resort to such means?"

"We are like water and fire in Luo'an. If we really consummate the marriage, this drama can't go on any longer."

Chen Luo's smile was a little bitter: "His Highness doesn't want me to get pregnant. He always thinks that only with this clear boundary, if something unexpected happens tomorrow, I can still survive with my status as the legitimate daughter of the Chen family."

"But from the day I married him, I never thought about living alone."

After coming out of the secret passage, Xie Nanxing got back on the carriage. Lu Bai drove the carriage towards Xie's house.

Xie Nanxing closed his eyes and thought about what Chen Luo had just said. Suddenly, he felt that the sincerity hidden under Luo An's treacherous behavior was so magical.

Chen Luo, the daughter of the most aristocratic family in Da Xia, married the most unmarriageable person.

Xun Zhan, the second son of a scheming family, has been tossing around among various forces for the sake of the person who is least likely to ascend to the throne.

Everyone is doing something knowing that it is impossible.

Everyone is gambling their lives on this day.

What’s even more amazing is that although they both clearly want the other to die, they can find the right opportunity between death and life, making it possible for them to cooperate.

The carriage passed a corner and another rather luxurious carriage stopped in the middle of the road.

Shen Jinmo got off the carriage still a little drunk, and held Xie Nanxing in his arms alone. They then got on the carriage driven by Mo Ping and returned home.

Since leaving the house today, Xie Nanxing has been with Shen Jinmo.

Wrapping his hands around Shen Jinmo's neck, Xie Nanxing leaned close to Shen Jinmo's ear and asked, "Shen Jinmo, what are you doing without telling King Xiaoyao?"

Shen Jinmo rubbed Xie Nanxing's face with his nose: "Let him leave Luoan."

Xie Nanxing asked again: "Why?"

"Xun Zhan wants him to leave so that he can kill two birds with one stone. Not only can it reduce the Ninth Prince's rival, but it can also directly bring down Xia Ling when the time is right."

"Xun Zhan was thinking: Only by killing all the royal bloodline, can the kingdom belong to the Ninth Prince."

"That person probably doesn't know about the current situation yet. He just hopes that the relationship between Xia Ling and I will become more and more strained. When he wants to kill Xia Ling in the future, I can help him and bear the blame."

"Chen Luo was thinking that Luo'an's future would become increasingly chaotic. Rather than being tied up here, they might as well break free and fight to the death to find another way to survive. She hid this from Xia Che because Xia Che was truly sincere to her and would never allow her to take such a risk."

"And what Shen has to do is, of course, to make everyone's wishes come true, and by the way, through this incident, slowly consolidate the identity of this treacherous minister."

Xie Nanxing turned around and kissed Shen Jinmo gently: "Then I will be a good husband to this treacherous minister, becoming the most lawless person in Luoan to the outside world, and becoming the person who can stabilize the rear for Lord Shen to the outside world."
