Chapter 277 Xie Mingzhu's death, the world collapses?
Xie Xing followed Jun Lanjin back to the Prince Jin's residence.
"From now on, you will stay by my side and be my personal maid. As for the Xie family..." Jun Lanjin walked ahead and said calmly, "The Xie family will not be in any trouble for now, so you can rest assured."
Xie Xing lowered his head.
It's not that I'm concerned about the Xie family...
However, the current plot development is beyond her and the system's expectations. Without the foresight to predict the plot, Xie Xing has no idea how to complete the next task.
Especially Luo Hanfeng, whose mood is now unpredictable.
One second he says he loves her and likes her, the next second he can strangle her and kill her.
As Xie Xing was thinking this, the person walking in front suddenly stopped.
She was caught off guard and her forehead bumped into Jun Lanjin's back.
Xie Xing realized what was happening, looked up, and met Jun Lanjin's eyes as he turned around.
He put his hands behind his back, leaned forward, and stared into Xie Xing's eyes with his beautiful peach blossom eyes: "You seem so distracted. What are you thinking about?"
Who are you thinking of?
Xie Xing realized what was happening and immediately said, "No, Your Highness, I was thinking about my sister. Why would you slander the Xie family for no reason?"
Those eyes, which seemed to see right through him, stared at Xie Xing, making Xie Xing feel a little guilty.
Jun Lanjin looked at her for a moment, then smiled and said, "Do you want to know?"
"Does Your Highness know?"
Xie Xing looked at Jun Lanjin with curiosity.
"Your father intended to poison Xie Mingzhu, but unexpectedly, Xie Mingzhu found out. In a fit of anger, she was instigated by someone and took the matter to the imperial court."
what? !
Xie Xing almost couldn't believe his ears.
Did Xie Ansheng attempt to poison Xie Mingzhu to death?
Xie Xing's pupils trembled.
The system was equally shocked.
What he meant was that the poison in the palace pastry, the one she almost ate, was poisoned by Xie Ansheng.
Xie Xing was deeply shocked and could not calm down for a long time.
After a long pause, Xie Xing suddenly didn't know what to say, and finally couldn't help but comment: "6".
Jun Lanjin tilted his head: "6?"
Xie Xing snapped out of his daze and explained, "Your Highness, what I mean is, how is this possible?"
"My father has always doted on Xie Mingzhu, so why would he suddenly want to poison her to death?"
Jun Lanjin glanced at her silently.
Xie Xing pretended to know nothing at all.
If Xie Ansheng really did administer this poison, then there's nothing more to say.
[He poisoned her, nearly causing the deaths of his own daughter and the daughter he cherished most.]
At this critical moment, Jun Lanjin didn't hide anything from Xie Xing.
He walked into the study, sat at the desk, and rested his chin on his hand, saying, "Naturally, it's because your father knows Xie Mingzhu's true identity."
"real identity?"
Jun Lanjin smiled and said, "Xie Mingzhu was a princess of the previous dynasty."
Xie Xing...
Xie Xing stumbled.
The sudden sound almost caused Xie Xing to fall flat on his face.
She raised her eyes, her gaze meeting Jun Lanjin's smiling eyes in shock.
"No, how could they know?" Xie Xing's voice broke down.
The system seemed completely clueless, replying, "[Don't know?! Could they have gotten a rebirth script that we don't know about?]"
It doesn't seem like it either.
The Xie family's attitude towards Xie Mingzhu was completely unlike how she was after her rebirth.
The Xie family father and son's attitude towards Xie Mingzhu has indeed been somewhat strange lately.
As Xie Xing pondered these thoughts, he was led astray by the system.
No way……
But how did Jun Lanjin know this?
What went wrong?!
In just a few words, Xie Xing's CPU almost burned out.
It took her a while to find her voice, and she couldn't help but ask cautiously, "The... the princess of the previous dynasty?"
Jun Lanjin found her pale face extremely amusing.
He chuckled softly: "His Majesty has been arresting remnants of the previous dynasty these past few days, and your father and elder brother are investigating this matter."
"Xie Mingzhu made it too obvious. The remnants of the previous dynasty repeatedly appeared at the Xie residence. Your elder brother and father found clues and discovered this connection."
"Harboring remnants of the previous dynasty is naturally a capital offense."
"Moreover, your sister has already harbored rebellious intentions, so your father wants to kill her without anyone knowing in order to protect everyone in the Xie family."
Xie Xing's head was buzzing.
So the Xie family already knew?
No wonder the Xie family's attitude towards Xie Mingzhu suddenly became strange.
So it wasn't a sudden pang of conscience, but rather the discovery of Xie Mingzhu's true identity?
As Xie Xing pondered, he noticed something strange.
"Your Highness knows why..."
"The Xie family is brave and skilled in battle, and the court is in dire need of capable people. Your father is still useful, so I can turn a blind eye to it."
Xie Xing's expression was complicated.
System: [This butterfly effect is huge!]
[Now that the villains know so much, what's the point of the main characters playing games? Aren't they just being manipulated like puppets?]
The system remarked: "Your father truly lives up to his reputation. Knowing Xie Mingzhu's true identity, he was able to ruthlessly poison her to death immediately."
No wonder Xie Mingzhu in the story didn't hesitate for a moment to frame and kill the entire Xie family.
[If it weren't for Xie Mingzhu's protagonist halo, and your father had succeeded, the protagonist's death would have caused the entire world to collapse, and everything would have had to start all over again.]
Jun Lanjin's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this thought.
Starting over? Protagonist's halo?
Xie Xing also asked in surprise: "You mean, Luo Hanfeng and Xie Mingzhu are dead, and the whole world will start over?"
The system said: [In a novel's world, everything naturally revolves around the main characters. If the main characters die, everyone in this world will perish with them.]
You'll have to start all over again.
Fortunately, your father didn't succeed, but of course, the protagonist won't die so easily.
Jun Lanjin pursed his lips.
Does this system mean that he can't kill Luo Hanfeng and Xie Mingzhu yet?
Xie Xing was even more worried.
……
After today, Xie Xing will become Jun Lanjin's personal maid.
Jun Lanjin's condition is getting worse.
He wore thicker and thicker clothes every day, and his face, which had once had some color in it, was now as pale as paper.
Xie Xing stood behind him, looking at his back, and vaguely recalled what he looked like when she first saw him.
Compared to Jun Lanjin back then, the current Jun Lanjin is more like a sickly beauty, the kind who could be blown away by a gust of wind.
in the courtyard.
Jun Lanjin, dressed in a moon-white cloak with his hands tucked into his sleeves, stood under the willow tree, looking as beautiful as a painting.
Xie Xing's gaze fell unwavering on Jun Lanjin.
"Your Majesty!"
At this moment, Hua An ran in and said, "Princess Consort...you should go and take a look."
Jun Lanjin stared intently, then slowly straightened his clothes and said, "Let's go."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Xie Xing followed behind the two of them.
She leaned closer to Jun Lanjin and whispered, "Your Highness, is your health getting worse?"
