744 Trouble (5)

Yang Xin smiled. “Young Marquis is born noble. Only Young Marquis will look so good in purple. Back then, when Your Highness brought him to the palace, people thought he was a prince.”

“He looks like a member of the royal family. Even Yuqing didn’t have such an aura back then.” Princess Rong Xin smiled. As she stroked the dark patterns embroidered with golden thread at the corner of the robe, she stopped smiling.

His expression gradually became solemn.

Just as she had said to Yang Xin just now, Xie Jingxing was very picky about clothes. He liked to wear purple clothes and liked his clothes to look gorgeous but not eye-catching. He wanted his clothes to be embroidered with dark golden thread on the corners. Because he had high standards, the needlework had to be done painstakingly and the patterns were very intricate.

However, that day in the palace, Prince Rui, who was holding Shen Miao’s hand, was also wearing a purple robe. The golden thread on his sleeve was exactly the same as what Xie Jingxing used to wear.

Princess Rong Xin was not in good health, but she was not blind. That day, when she saw Prince Rui and heard Shen Miao call him Xie Jingxing, she thought of him as Xie Jingxing for a moment. However, later, when she saw Prince Rui’s expression and temperament, she found him very unfamiliar. After hearing Prince Rui’s explanation, she dispelled this thought. However, she felt that something was wrong. After returning home, she kept thinking of Xie Jingxing and Prince Rui.

She had always thought that the reason why she was brooding over this was because Prince Rui and Xie Jingxing’s pet name was the same, but now, it had nothing to do with the pet name. It was simply because she saw the embroidery on his sleeve.

After spending more than ten years with Xie Jingxing, Princess Rong Xin treated him as her own son. Mothers were always especially concerned about their children, even if it was just a small matter. She still remembered the pattern on the sleeve clearly. However, ever since Xie Jingxing died, she had not seen this pattern for two years and did not remember it for a moment. Today, she remembered that Prince Rui was wearing a robe with the same pattern.

Sometimes, all it took was a light flick for the first domino to fall.

They both liked to wear purple color, had the same patterns on the corners of their robes, were called “Jingxing”, and had a special relationship with Shen Miao.

Princess Rong Xin suddenly thought of the basket of the herb.

Why didn’t she have it before? Why did she receive it today? Was it because a few days ago, she had a heart attack in front of Prince Rui, and a few days later, a merchant came from afar to sell herbs, among which there happened to be a basketful of the herb she desperately needed?

Too many coincidences happened, so it was no longer a coincidence.

Once the seed of doubt germinated, it would never grow back. It would quickly grow into a towering tree until it was rooted deeply into the soil and stood there indestructibly.

Although his temperament and figure had changed, there were some things that could not be changed, such as some small mannerisms, such as… the connection of kindred.

Princess Rong Xin suddenly squatted down and pressed on her chest. Yang Xin was shocked and saw that Princess Rong Xin’s face was pale, and large drops of sweat had started to appear on her forehead. She quickly shouted, “Someone! Call a doctor! Princess is having a heart attack again!”

A hand suddenly grabbed Yang Xin’s hand. Princess Rong Xin looked in pain, but her tone was very firm. She said, “Help me back to the study and prepare a letter.”

She had to verify something herself.
