The Prime Minister's Darling
Chapter 1222 - 1222 598 Secrets of Xinyang (second update)

Chapter 1222: 598 Secrets of Xinyang (second update) Chapter 1222: 598 Secrets of Xinyang (second update) This is quite awkward.

The one feeling awkward is Princess Xinyang, a thick-skinned person like Marquis Xuanping wouldn’t feel embarrassed.

He was just very confused.

There were still two lines of tears not yet dry on Princess Xinyang’s face, which confused Marquis Xuanping even more, “I’m not dead yet, is it necessary to cry like this?”

The point is, am I dead or not?

As if I, Princess Xinyang Qin Fengwan, would shed a tear for you, Marquis Xuanping!

Also, what’s with that doubtful tone when you said “Qin Fengwan” just now?

You don’t even know who I am and yet you dare to address me so familiarly—

Princess Xinyang couldn’t continue her silent rant.

“How come you are here? When did you return to the Capital City?”

Princess Xinyang was unaware of the plan from last night.

“My son brought me back,” said Marquis Xuanping straightforwardly.

His tone was relaxed when he mentioned Xiao Hen, which meant Xiao Hen was fine. The golden sore medicine in the room and the basin of bloody water that the maid just took out must belong to Marquis Xuanping then.

Princess Xinyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s good that my son is fine.

As for men, it doesn’t matter.

Princess Xinyang wiped the tears from her cheeks, and with a subtle lift of her chin, she held herself like a proud peacock, “Once your wounds are healed, you should return to your Marquis Residence.”

Marquis Xuanping looked at her puzzled, “Qin Fengwan, it seemed you were the one who threw yourself at me just now. Can you not act all disdainful after taking advantage of me each time?”

Princess Xinyang glared, “I…”

Marquis Xuanping said seriously, “It was one thing for you to act that way when we consummated our marriage, you said you took the wrong medicine, and I reluctantly believed you, but you definitely didn’t take any wrong medicine today, did you?”

Princess Xinyang choked, “That’s because you were lying in Ahen’s bed, I mistook you for him!”

Marquis Xuanping propped an arm under his head and stared at her steadily, as if considering the truth of her words.

After a moment, he shook his head firmly, “Qin Fengwan, I don’t believe it.”

Princess Xinyang: “…!!”

This man’s thick skin wasn’t new, and Princess Xinyang felt that if she kept bickering with him, she would definitely not be the one to drive him to fury.

Princess Xinyang ignored him and turned to leave the courtyard.

Xiao Hen had just come out from Gu Jiao’s room, planning to bring her to treat Marquis Xuanping’s injuries, but seeing that something was wrong, he quickly pulled his wife back into their room.

“Stop right there!”

Princess Xinyang shouted sternly.

Xiao Hen’s body shivered, he pushed Gu Jiao into the room and closed the door with both hands.

Gu Jiao poked her head out from the gap in the door, “What happened?”

Xiao Hen hurriedly blocked her with his body, whispering, “Get back inside!”

Gu Jiao blinked peculiarly, “Oh.”

Xiao Hen closed the door for Gu Jiao and, smiling, turned to face his mother, “Morning, mother.”

Princess Xinyang spoke irritably, “What’s so good about the morning? What exactly is going on?”

Xiao Hen explained what happened last night, “…He was severely injured, so I brought him back to have Jiaojiao take a look.”

Princess Xinyang said coldly, “Such an important plan, why didn’t you inform me earlier? Clearly, you’re closer to your father!”

Xiao Hen: Why is she jealous now?

This was a setup. The fewer people who knew, the more convincing the situation would be, drawing Chancellor Zhuang and the people of Yan Country into the trap.

“So, you’re this upset with me?”

“I’m not upset with you, I’m just…”

Xiao Hen looked at her earnestly, hoping she would continue.

But she didn’t say anything more.

It was too embarrassing.

Thinking of how she had clung to Xiao Ji, weeping as if her heart was breaking, Princess Xinyang wished she could knock herself out with a brick!

“Really!”

Face flushed with embarrassment and anger, Princess Xinyang stormed off.

Xiao Hen touched his chin in confusion, “What’s with my mother’s reaction?”

…

The commotion last night had been significant, and word of Marquis Xuanping returning to the Capital City with a ghost-masked army slowly spread. This was Marquis Xuanping’s secret army, which hadn’t been deployed even during the campaign to Shangnan Island, and now appeared suddenly in the Capital City, naturally causing quite a stir.

The Emperor summoned Marquis Xuanping to the palace. Since Princess Xinyang was now acting as regent and was also Marquis Xuanping’s wife, she was summoned to Huaqing Palace by the Emperor as well.

Marquis Xuanping entered the palace in a wheelchair, as advised by Doctor Gu, and he could not defy the order.

Another carriage had gone out for shopping, leaving only one carriage. Since Marquis Xuanping could not ride a horse now, he had to share a ride with Princess Xinyang.

Princess Xinyang had Yujin join them in the carriage as well, “Open all the windows, and lift the curtains.”

Marquis Xuanping glanced at her but said nothing.
