The Rebirth of the Empress

Young Master

“So it's you.”

A handsome young man walked out of the bamboo forest. She was wearing an ivory robe trimmed with silver thread, compared to the white dumplings, it was very elegant.

He walked over to Shen Miao and stopped in front of her as he looked at her with probing eyes.

This young man was very tall because Shen Miao was only as tall as his chest. As he looked at a child, there was a mischievous laugh on his lips but because of his handsome face, it was not offensive at all. If it was an ordinary woman, their heart rate would increase and the ears would be flushed.

But Shen Miao, however, was not a true novice beauty. He glanced at the person and did not say a word.

The young man's lips connected and suddenly there was a sophisticated short sword in his hand. He aimed his scabbard at himself and used the sword rod to lift Shen Miao's chin, forcing him to raise his head.

Shen Miao had no choice but to look towards someone else.

The young man was still a teenager but his eyebrows were very bright and his eyes were like autumn water, smiling and moving. But the depth of his eyes made another cold and it was a pair of sharp eyes that could almost see one's heart. A person like this even with a frivolous appearance would be like a piece of ice internally.

He took a deep breath and took a step back so that the short sword rod moved away from his chin. He warmly said, "Thank you to the Little Marquis."

Xie Jing Xing smiled but his tone was unclear, "You recognize me?"

"In the capital Ding, there is no one who does not know about Little Marquis Xie." Shem Miao said lightly. There seemed to be some sarcasm in his words but when he said it, there was actually an unusual serious tone that left others unable to discern his tone.

"I don't recognize you." Xie Jing Xing glanced at him and then glanced at the shivering dumplings on the ground, "You're the one who let Su Ming Lang pass the message to the Su family."

"See message?" Shen Miao looked at him and suddenly smiled, “This is just to teach him how not to be reprimanded by his father, by distracting him. How can I deliver a message? Small marquis should not think too much.”

“Too many think?” The young man pondered those words before suddenly approaching and forcing Shen Miao back into the tree. His expression was very ambiguous but his tone was very clear, "If I don't think too much, I'll be fooled by you."

Shen Miao frowned.

Although there were not too many rules between men and women in Ming Qi, but performing such actions in broad daylight would be lacking in manners. In particular there were so many nobles in Guang Wen Tang and if they wanted to see this. He did not mind that it would destroy his reputation but Shen Xin would then be humiliated because of him. In his previous life because of him, the Shen family collapsed then he could see all the attention and thought his parents gave him. Now with another life, he would protect his family so how would he tolerate others mentioning bad things about the Shen family. Especially because of him.

Thinking of that, Shen Miao became somewhat impatient, "For the Little Marquis to attack with a curse, what is his true purpose?"

Xie Jing Xin watched attentively at the young lady in front.

He had always been so sensitive to his intuition that he was able to see the undercurrents of things on the surface. That's how he's lived for the last ten years. To kill others in battle and to fight dangerous battles beneath the surface of the capital Ding and also including a hidden plot in the backyard of his residence. He looked like he was growing like that but it was not entirely due to luck. There were so many noble children in Ming Qi and there would be many reasons for their disappearance.

He will never take it for granted.

Su Ming Lang's words, Su Ming Feng would definitely not think anymore and Master Su would also think that it was an unintentional reminder from his son. But in his view no. To be able to capture this opportunity so accurately, there were not many coincidences in this world. Most of the coincidences are man-made.

He was able to deduce that someone had taught Su Ming Lang to say these words but for what purpose, he had no idea.

When he actually met this person, he was actually shocked.

Xie Jing Xing thought that to be able to come out with such crucial words and in Guang Wen Tang would be the son of a court official, it was most likely that the person who would soon enter the official circle. Perhaps it was to win the Su family or perhaps to loosen the reins just to understand it better. But when he saw this person, he thought that Su MingLang was doing some mischief. Only when the young woman spoke did she become convinced that she was right.

The young lady in front of him was not tall and only reached his chest. Her appearance was motionless and was at most considered adorable. He looked like a one-year-old elf with a two-circle bun on his head with a round face and round eyes with small lips and just stood there like a little deer missing from the forest. But he stood tall and dignified and every word that was spoken was slowly spoken as if he was being taught from the women in the Palace. Does she want to be Queen? If he did not see it for himself, Xie JingXing would choke on his saliva.

Looking up and down, looking left and right, she was just a silly little girl.

Until he said those words.

His face was like a child but his tone was stable and not even a hint of panic was revealed, but rather some impatience. This was actually the first for Little Marquis Xie. When other women saw him approaching, they would long blush which was not at all attractive at all.

Most likely his age was too small and he would not understand anything. But how did he understand the words of the Su family?

One of his hands was placed on the tree trunk behind Shen Miao so from someone looking inside, it seemed like he was hugging Shen Miao. Xie Jing Xing lowered his head and leaned very close to Shen Miao.

"You're not afraid of me."

"Little Marquis isn't a monster that eats people, so what to fear." Shen Miao said lightly, "If there's nothing else, I'll go back to class first." He finished getting ready to leave.

"Stop there." Xie Jing Xing raised his hand and Shen Miao's hair stuck out on his palm and made him itch like a creeping ant. He pulled his hand and he took a few steps back to lean on the tree as he folded his hands on his chest portraying his usual reckless expression.

"What is your intention to warn the Su family?"

His words were as sharp as his eyes, which never hid his sharp and impulsive approach instantly but contained deep meaning.

Shen Miao sighed slightly in his heart.

Xie Jing Xing was even smarter than he had imagined. One sentence from Su Ming Lang, he ended up here. Not only did he end up here, he could also question his goal. He only knows that he has a broad perspective of his past life but it seems that from today on he is also someone with a keen mind.

How to hide one's true intentions when dealing with smart people? Unfortunately, he never wanted to hide.

“No other reason. Just to defend yourself.”

After finishing his words, he gave a hint of greeting to Xie Jing Xing and turned to leave without caring about anything else.

Xie Jing Xin would understand these words.

Behind him, the young man's lips lifted as he played the short sword in his hand.

"Su Ming Lang, what's his name?"
