474 Meeting an Old Friend (5)

“You want to deny it?” Xie Jingxing frowned. “That’s not right, Shen Jiaojiao.”

“I’ll give you money.” Shen Miao made a prompt decision. “I can compensate you however much you want.”

Xie Jingxing looked at her quietly for a while. For some reason, Shen Miao felt that his gaze was filled with knives, as if Xie Jingxing wanted to kill her. After a while, Xie Jingxing smiled and gritted his teeth. “Do you take me as a gigolo or a toy boy? Money? I’ve never lacked money.”

Shen Miao was silent.

Xie Jingxing took a deep breath and said, “How did you find out?”

Shen Miao was caught off guard by the sudden change of topic. “What?”

Xie Jingxing picked up the mask on the table. “How did you find out my identity? I died in battle two years ago. No matter what, it doesn’t make sense for you to recognize me the moment we met.”

“I guessed it before we met.” Shen Miao said, “I knew that you were from the Daliang Dynasty, but I didn’t expect you to be from the royal family. Later, when I saw you at the tribute banquet, I vaguely felt a sense of familiarity, so I made this bold guess.”

When Xie Jingxing heard this, he gradually frowned and looked at Shen Miao. “You guessed it two years ago?”

“That night at the Wolong Temple, you came and left some snacks,” Shen Miao said calmly, “I was lucky enough to eat some of that snack.”

Xie Jingxing raised an eyebrow. “So what?”

“Well,” Shen Miao said, “that snack seems to be from the Daliang Dynasty. It tastes very delicious.”

Xie Jingxing was slightly stunned.

Two years ago, he saw Shen Miao setting up Shen Qing and Prince Yu in the Wolong Temple. Later, out of interest, he went to Shen Miao’s room. Because he was hungry in the middle of the night, he ate some snacks… and even fed Shen Miao a piece. While he was in Ming Qi, the pastry chef of the Great Liang Dynasty’s royal family was also by his side.

Xie Jingxing had thought of many explanations as to how Shen Miao could guess his identity, but he did not expect this to be the case. However… his gaze was sharp as he looked at Shen Miao and said, “How did you know that the snack was made by the chef of the Daliang Dynasty?”

“I was lucky enough to eat it once,” Shen Miao said.

She had indeed eaten it once. At the tribute banquet in Ming Qi, there would naturally be congratulatory gifts sent by other countries. Emperor Yong Le liked to eat pastries, so the royal chef of the Daliang Dynasty had to be creative. He added fruit juice to the pastries, and the pastries had a fruity fragrance. Shen Miao ate some pieces and felt that it was very novel, so she specially made them for Fu Xiuyi a few times. However, Fu Xiuyi did not like sweet food, so she gave them to her maids every time, which made her sad for a while.

The pastry Xie Jingxing ate that night was filled with the fruit fragrance of the pastry from the royal family of the Daliang Dynasty, which caused Shen Miao to be suspicious.

Although Xie Jingxing did not know where Shen Miao ate this pastry, he did not ask further. He only said, “That’s all?”

“I was just lucky that I got it right.” Shen Miao lowered her eyes. How could she be sure that Xie Jingxing was from the Daliang Dynasty with just some pastries? Her real suspicion started from the imperial physician Gao Yang she saw in the palace. At that time, she only felt that he looked familiar, but later, she finally remembered that she had seen this imperial physician before. At the tribute banquet in the previous life, the people sent by the Daliang Dynasty were a prince and an important official. That important official was a famous strategist in the Daliang Dynasty. Back then, Fu Xiuyi even asked Pei Lang to pay more attention to this person. It was none other than Gao Yang. At that time, Gao Yang’s identity was not that of Imperial Physician Gao, but a court official of the Daliang Dynasty. That day in the Ming Qi Palace, she saw Xie Jingxing and Gao Yang talking with each other. Coupled with the pastries from before, she more or less guessed it.
