Chapter 180

Sudden Visit

At this moment, Yin Fengxiang looked serious, his usually gentle star-like eyes filled with concern, staring straight at Nie Jinxuan, even his heart was gripped at this moment.

Meeting those eyes filled with tension and special concern, Nie Jinxuan was stunned, but then she smiled slightly.

"Caught a cold, that's all, I'm better! Look, is there any problem with me now?"

Nie Jinxuan deliberately smiled brightly. Hearing Nie Jinxuan say it was fine, Yin Fengxiang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is that so, that's good~!"

As he spoke, Yin Fengxiang smiled casually.

Yin Fengxiang was an extremely beautiful person, and this smile instantly bloomed. Seeing this, Nie Jinxuan also smiled, but then she lowered her eyes and looked at her wrist that was still tightly held by him.

"Uh..."

Nie Jinxuan hesitated. Until this moment, Yin Fengxiang was startled, and then instantly withdrew his hand.

"Uh... sorry..."

The instant smile carried a hint of embarrassment, but then Yin Fengxiang immediately looked up and changed the subject.

"Lan Ping, what are you looking at? Why don't you take the medicine bowl away?"

"Uh... oh, oh..."

Yin Fengxiang said this to Lan Ping. Hearing this, Lan Ping, who was standing in place not knowing what he was thinking, snapped out of it and hurriedly stepped forward to take the medicine bowl from Nie Jinxuan's hand...

After Yin Fengxiang's sudden change of topic, the embarrassment just now vanished instantly. Subsequently, the room became lively again.

And then, while talking, they suddenly heard Lan Ping shouting outside, as if he had knocked something over. So, Qiu Pin'ting and the others sitting in the room became curious and got up to run out to watch the fun.

Qiu Pin'ting took Xiao Xiu and Shui Yun out, and in the blink of an eye, only Nie Jinxuan and Yin Fengxiang were left in the room. Subsequently, Nie Jinxuan couldn't help but laugh.

"Hehe~, these girls, they really love to watch the fun~!"

Nie Jinxuan said casually, but hearing this, Yin Fengxiang, lying on the couch, couldn't help but set his eyes on her, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

"What's wrong? Does Third Miss have anything on her mind?"

The questioning words were a certain tone. Clearly, even if Nie Jinxuan smiled, she still let the meticulous Yin Fengxiang see the clues.

Hearing this, Nie Jinxuan's face froze, but then she just smiled and pursed her lips.

"What is Prince saying? What could I have on my mind..."

"Is it because of the Fourth Imperial Brother?"

"I'm fine."

"It seems it is."

Yin Fengxiang said more and more certainly, and hearing this, the shallow smile on Nie Jinxuan's face finally disappeared, and she looked at Yin Fengxiang with a calm expression.

"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from Prince Rui... However, I don't want to talk about this matter, and Prince doesn't need to ask."

Lying at home for two days, Nie Jinxuan no longer wanted to recall what happened before, and even less wanted to talk about it. Even if she was facing Yin Fengxiang at this moment, Nie Jinxuan still didn't want to talk about herself and Yin Fengzhan!

Moreover, to be fair, there really wasn't much to say!

At the beginning, Yin Fengxiang saved her. Although that knife might not have been a serious injury to others, Yin Fengxiang's body was not good, and at the critical moment, he could stand up without regard for his own safety. This alone was enough to make Nie Jinxuan feel grateful.

Moreover, because of this knife, Yin Fengxiang, who was already weak, was in critical condition. If Divine Doctor Long hadn't appeared in time, Yin Fengxiang would have already turned into a cup of yellow earth. This kind of kindness, she, Nie Jinxuan, should naturally never forget. So at such a time, she came to take care of Yin Fengxiang who saved her, what was wrong with that?!

She was not wrong! Yes, even now, she still didn't feel there was anything wrong with taking care of Yin Fengxiang! Even if time could flow back, allowing her to choose again, she, Nie Jinxuan, would still do it!

This was human nature. But what did Yin Fengzhan do?! The anxiety at the beginning could be understood, and the silence for three days could be let go, but why in the end, when she went to find him, did he tell her to get out?! And even said such ugly words?!

Did he not trust her that much?! And even if what he said was just angry words, but in the end, what happened that made him treat her like this?! And a man who couldn't even tell her the truth, what could she, Nie Jinxuan, believe in him?!

Sure enough, in this world, some people can share adversity but cannot share wealth. Some people can share wealth but cannot share adversity... And she and Yin Fengzhan were the kind of people who could only share wealth but not adversity!

And such a knot only explained that he didn't trust her! And this was the root of her injury!

Two people together can bicker, can quarrel, can slam tables and chairs, but there must be the most basic trust, and without even trust... In the end, she, Nie Jinxuan, was just an outsider to him, Yin Fengzhan!

Thinking in her heart, but in the end, Nie Jinxuan couldn't help but look dim. Seeing her like this, Yin Fengxiang, who had been watching her, couldn't help but frown, then wanted to reach out to comfort her, but in the moment of raising his hand, he put it down and whispered.

"I don't know what happened, but I think the Fourth Imperial Brother should have his own difficulties. So Third Miss, don't take it too much to heart, I think after a period of time, when the Fourth Imperial Brother thinks it through, it will be fine..."

Yin Fengxiang wanted to comfort her, but didn't know what to say. Hearing this, Nie Jinxuan shook her head slightly.

"Difficulties? What difficulties could he have... forget it, don't talk about him, I'm fine, Prince Rui doesn't need to worry."

As she spoke, Nie Jinxuan looked up and smiled at Yin Fengxiang, but Nie Jinxuan didn't know that the corner of her lips, which were slightly curled, carried a hint of bitterness, even the original beautiful smile was more painful to look at than pain!

Seeing her like this, Yin Fengxiang only felt that his heart was about to break. But at this moment, he couldn't do anything, but could only look at her quietly, not knowing what to say.

For a time, the elegant room was silent. Nie Jinxuan was immersed in her own thoughts, not knowing what she was thinking. But Yin Fengxiang just looked at her, his clear eyes filled with heartache and worry...

Time passed, but Nie Jinxuan and Yin Fengxiang didn't speak again, as if they had forgotten the time, and didn't even know when the laughter of Qiu Pin'ting, Xiao Xiu, and others, which had been heard from time to time outside, had stopped!

The surroundings were silent. But just then, just when Nie Jinxuan and Yin Fengxiang were speechless, a light cough sounded instantly!

The cough was not loud, but it was heard clearly. Instantly, Nie Jinxuan and Yin Fengxiang were stunned at the same time, then turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound, but the moment they saw the person, they couldn't help but be stunned.

"Emperor?!"

Nie Jinxuan didn't expect that the Emperor would personally visit the Prince Rui's manor. And let alone Nie Jinxuan, even Prince Rui, Yin Fengxiang, didn't expect it, so he was stunned on the spot.

But Nie Jinxuan's reaction was still fast, realizing she had spoken out of turn, she immediately calmed her expression, stood up from her seat, and bowed.

"This subject's daughter greets the Emperor."

Nie Jinxuan restored her usual calmness. But the Emperor, standing at the door in plain clothes, just glanced at Nie Jinxuan quietly, and then only after a moment did he purse his lips.

"Get up."

As he spoke, the Emperor didn't wait for Nie Jinxuan to return the salute, but walked directly to the couch and pressed Yin Fengxiang, who was also about to get up, back down.

"... Father Emperor..."

"Alright, just lie down!"

"Thank you, Father Emperor."

Whispering thanks, the Emperor then sat in the chair beside him.

"I heard a few days ago that you were injured, so I came out of the palace to see you today... how are you, are you better?"

"Thank you, Father Emperor, for your concern, Father Emperor is busy with state affairs, but still thinks about my affairs, I really don't know what to say... I have caused trouble for Father Emperor..."

The Emperor's voice was still low, and his serious face was still terribly gloomy. But hearing this, Yin Fengxiang still answered somewhat flattered, and after speaking, he couldn't help but lower his eyes, his face showing guilt.

Yin Fengxiang had been weak since he was a child, so whether in state affairs or other aspects, he naturally hadn't shared any labor for the Emperor. And this was the fundamental reason why Yin Fengxiang wanted to help Nie Jinxuan solve the case no matter what last time.

At least, he couldn't do anything else, but as long as it was within his power, he wanted to do his part.

And for his thoughts, the Emperor naturally understood.

"You are my son, how can there be any trouble?!... However, everything was fine before, how could you suddenly get injured?"

"Father Emperor, please forgive me, actually the matter is like this..."

The Emperor asked, and Yin Fengxiang briefly told the story. After Yin Fengxiang finished speaking, the Emperor's eyes flashed, and he nodded knowingly.

"Oh, so it was to save someone..."

At this moment, the Emperor's voice was still low, but as he said this, he turned his eyes to look at Nie Jinxuan, who had been silent on the side.

The Emperor's look was subtle. But then he withdrew his gaze...

Nie Jinxuan didn't know why the Emperor came today. But she felt that the Emperor's look when he left made her feel terrified.

And subsequently, Nie Jinxuan and Qiu Pin'ting stayed at the Prince Rui's manor until the afternoon, and until she fed Yin Fengxiang the last dose of medicine, Nie Jinxuan left.

But I don't know why, when the two left the Prince Rui's manor, Qiu Pin'ting insisted on taking the same carriage as Nie Jinxuan. Nie Jinxuan felt a bit strange, but still followed her...

Only, Nie Jinxuan only thought Qiu Pin'ting's move was strange, but she never expected that after getting into the carriage, Qiu Pin'ting suddenly asked in a low voice.

"Sister Xuan, do you like Prince Rui?"
