557 The Truth about the Assassination (1)

The box was light. Shen Yijia asked, “What’s this?”

Xuanyuan Ce coughed lightly. “It’s for you.”

“For me?” Shen Yijia pushed him back and held Song Jingchen’s arm. She shook her head repeatedly. “Why did you give me something for no reason? I don’t want it.”

She did not forget that this person had asked her beautiful husband to divorce her.

Could it be that her beautiful husband was unwilling, so he was prepared to attack her?

Shen Yijia puffed up her cheeks. That was a huge mistake!

She could earn money. It was fine if she didn’t eat delicacies.

However, it was impossible for her to give up on her beautiful husband!

Xuanyuan Ce’s heart skipped a beat. What did this expression mean?

He took a deep breath and opened the box in front of everyone. “It’s not anything valuable. It’s for you to play with.”

Shen Yijia took a rough look. There were four things inside. One was a longevity lock, one was an exquisite hairpin, one was a jade hairpin carved into the shape of a magnolia, and the last was a jade pendant.

The jade pendant and jade hairpin should have been made by the same person. The carvings on them were a little rough.

The longevity lock was even made of silver. From the looks of it, it was indeed worthless.

“These seem to be for children to play with, right?” Shen Yijia picked up the longevity lock and golden hairpin and looked at him strangely. “I’m already seventeen.”

“That’s why I said it’s for you to play with.” Xuanyuan Ce was a little speechless. Why was this girl so serious?

Not only did he know that she was seventeen, but he also knew that today was the thirteenth of September, according to the old monk.

Today should be this girl’s birthday, but from the looks of it, no one was celebrating her birthday. Xuanyuan Ce glanced at Song Jingchen and despised him even more.

Due to his previous lesson, he did not dare to make it too obvious.

However, Song Jingchen still felt it. He frowned, feeling wronged about the hostility Xuanyuan Ce revealed from time to time.

He didn’t snatch any of his treasures, right?

If it was strange that Xuanyuan Ce came to give gifts for no reason, then it was even more inexplicable that he ran to the Song family’s kitchen after delivering the gifts and personally cooked a pot of noodles for everyone to eat.

Fortunately, his culinary skills were not bad. Otherwise, Shen Yijia would have suspected that he was here to take revenge on her.

As a prince of a country, it would be a waste not to eat the noodles personally cooked by him. Hence, Shen Yijia’s stomach bulged.

After eating, Xuanyuan Ce had no intention of leaving. Song Jingchen suddenly said, “I heard that His Highness has been close to Princess Yong’an recently.”

Xuanyuan Ce snorted. “You know a lot about me.”

“I’ve only heard a little about it.” Song Jingchen didn’t care about his attitude.

Moreover, he did not deliberately ask about this matter, so he did not feel guilty at all.

This was because Xuanyuan Ce often met Ji Yunxi. Although they were all using the excuse of seeing a doctor, there were rumors among the officials that Xuanyuan Ce had taken a fancy to Princess Yong’an and had plans to have a marriage alliance with Great Xia.

Because Princess Yong’an was not in the mood to get married, the lord could not bear to force her, so they could only stay in Great Xia and fight for the hearts of the beauties.

Song Jingchen didn’t believe in these things, but the person behind Ji Yunxi was an enemy, not a friend. Song Jingchen definitely didn’t want to see the Xuanyuan Kingdom being roped in by them.

Xuanyuan Ce had naturally heard this rumor before. His face darkened. “Why are the officials of Great Xia like gossipers?”

Shen Yijia tugged at Song Jingchen’s hand. “What did they say?”

Song Jingchen glanced at Xuanyuan Ce. “They said…”

Xuanyuan Ce quickly interrupted him. “Lord Song shouldn’t be such a gossipy person.”

Song Jingchen was slightly stunned. He nodded and whispered in Shen Yijia’s ear.

He performed for Xuanyuan Ce on the spot.

Therefore, Xuanyuan Ce successfully received a disdainful look from Shen Yijia.

Xuanyuan Ce did not care what others said, but he was still hoping to reunite with Shen Yijia one day. How could he dare to let her misunderstand?

Embarrassed by his gaze, he quickly explained, “That didn’t happen. I just…”

He just wanted to investigate Shen Yijia’s mother through Ji Yunxi!

However, there was no way to say this. Not only did this girl not know anything, but now was not the time to implicate her.

“You don’t have to explain. We understand,” Shen Yijia said considerately.

“Do you really understand?” he thought.

Xuanyuan Ce felt that if he stayed with this couple for a while longer, his lifespan would definitely be reduced.

He took a deep breath and stood up. He had yet to find Ji Luo. He could not be angered to death.

“Your Highness.” Song Jingchen suddenly called out to him.
