Chapter 667 Has the third sister-in-law also gone to the embassy?
Rong Ci, Xie Yixiao and others finished eating the glutinous rice balls and then returned to Duke Rong's Mansion. It was already close to midnight when they arrived at the gate of Duke Rong's Mansion.
"The Third Young Master came to see the Crown Prince earlier and asked the Crown Prince to accompany him to the embassy. He said that the Third Young Master was still there and did not know what was going on."
"The Crown Prince has already gone with the Third Young Master. Before leaving, the Crown Prince gave instructions that if the Ninth Young Master comes back and they haven't come back yet, the Ninth Young Master should also go there."
As soon as the couple got off the carriage, someone reported the matter. Xie Yixiao frowned: "Did the third sister-in-law also go to the embassy?"
"We went. It is said that she fell into the water with Miss Gu. She and Miss Gu followed Prince Suye, and Prince Suye took them to the embassy."
"Then how is she doing? Why isn't she home yet?"
"I don't know. The third young master also saw that she hadn't come back for a long time tonight. When he came out to investigate, he found out that she fell into the water and went to the embassy. As for the situation inside the embassy, we don't know."
Rong Ci's face looked a little bad, but he still responded: "I'll go to the embassy to have a look."
No matter what Liao Zhuyin's fault is, she is still the daughter-in-law of the Rong family. No matter how she quarrels with Rong Ting, the Rong family cannot really care about her safety.
Especially since she is still at the embassy. Prince Huainan's palace has already brought people over there. She doesn't know what will happen. It is not good to be affected. Moreover, King Huainan went to the embassy to cause trouble.
People are also needed to mediate.
Rong Ci handed the fire cage in his hand to Xie Yixiao: "It's late at night. You should go back and rest first. I'll be back soon."
Xie Yixiao was a little worried: "Be careful. If a fight breaks out, don't get in the middle yourself to avoid accidental injury. It's other people's business to seek death. If you are injured, I will feel sorry for you."
Rong Ci stretched out his hand to pull up a strand of hair that was blown by the wind by her ear, nodded and said, "I will pay attention to it, don't worry."
Xie Yixiao poked the grape twig pattern on the edge of her sleeves with her finger, reached out and hooked his finger with her little finger. He looked down and then squeezed her hand: "Don't worry."
Xie Yi smiled, stretched out his hand to straighten his cloak, and then gave him the fire cage in his hand: "It's cold on the road, I'll give this to you, I'm already home."
"good."
"I'll watch you go."
"good."
Rong Ci ordered Lu Zhui, then got on the carriage again, and took a few guards to the embassy. Xie Yixiao stood there, watching the carriage leave, until the carriage disappeared into the darkness, she had not yet
movement.
Mingxin was afraid that she would be worried, so she advised: "Young madam, let's go back. If it's freezing, the young master should be worried."
Knowing that she was afraid of the cold, what he was most worried about was that she would catch the cold. He would have liked her not to go out in winter if it was not necessary.
Xie Yi smiled. In fact, another winter day had passed. This winter day, she had been busy with receiving envoys for a long time. Although she still felt that the winter in the north was a little unbearable, she had become accustomed to it and she didn't feel comfortable going out.
So conflicted.
"Let's go back." She gathered up her cloak, turned around and walked towards the gate, "Mingxin and I will go to Huichun Garden, while Qingluo and Xianye will go back and have a rest."
"Yes." Qingluo and Xiangye agreed, and after sending Xie Yixiao into the second inner courtyard, they went to rest. The area where they lived was separated from the outer courtyard, and Chen Baishao also lived there.
Xie Yixiao returned to Chuntingyuan and washed up and lay down. Ming Jing gave a lantern to Black Tea: "I'll give you one. I'll give the other one to Ming Jing when Ming Jing comes back."
She bought two lanterns, one for her and Ming Jing, and one for black tea. She has already played with it and will give it to Ming Jing when the time comes. They are sisters anyway, so sharing a lantern will be fine and they will save a fortune. She is really smart.
.
The cup she gave Black Tea had pink camellias painted on it, which just matched the name of Black Tea, and she was very careful. Black Tea liked it very much: "Thank you."
"You're welcome, we're all sisters." After saying that, she yawned. She had been running for most of the night today and she was tired and sleepy.
Hong Cha said: "You go and rest first. I and the others will watch. When the young master comes back to wash up and rest, I will send them back to rest."
"Then I'll leave it to you."
"Go ahead."
Seeing that Black Tea was taking over the matter, Mingxin felt relieved and went to Xikuoyuan with a lantern, took a bath and rested.
Xie Yixiao couldn't sleep after lying down. She was probably too used to having someone warm her bed these days. Now she was sleeping alone, even though the mattress underneath was soft, the quilt was thick and warm, and there was still a fire burning in the room.
She felt that her body was not warm enough and the temperature was not suitable for her to sleep.
After tossing and turning for a while, she really couldn't sleep, so she opened the quilt and got up and put on her shoes. When Hongcha heard the noise, she opened the half-open bedroom door and walked in: "Young lady, can't you sleep?"
Xie Yi smiled, then reached for the blanket on the side and put it on tightly: "I can't sleep, but there is news?"
Hongcha shook his head: "Not yet."
Hongcha called for someone to bring a pot of hot tea in, then she tidied up the wooden couch by the window, put tea and snacks on the table, and then brought up today's birthday gift: "If you can't sleep, young lady, please take a look.
Let’s pass the time with today’s birthday ceremony.”
Hong Cha knows Xie Yixiao better than Ming Xin Mingjing, but he does know a little bit. If she is restless and anxious and can't calm down, then let her count money and jewelry to pass the time.
Xie Yixiao was really a little restless at first and didn't know what to say. Seeing that she had brought all the things, he decided to take a look. She had received the gift today and she didn't have time to see it.
Thinking of this, she was a little unhappy. If Liao Zhuyin wasn't still at the embassy and wanted the Rong family to see it, Rong Ci should have watched it with her at this moment.
She didn't receive many birthday gifts today, only the Rong family and the Xie family gave them to her. Rong Guogong and his wife gave them a set of hairpins, and Rong Xun and Ming received a pair of gold and bamboo hairpins. Brothers Rong Jing and Rong Xuan gave them to her.
He gave her an exquisite cricket basin.
Xie Yixiao looked at the basin and couldn't help but clicked his tongue several times: "Do you think the two brothers think I like to play cricket fighting?"
Hongcha smiled: "You two young masters are still half-grown teenagers, and they are still playful. You probably think it's fun."
Xie Yixiao thought for a while: "That's right. I will give this to my second uncle when it's his birthday."
Birthday gifts are given every year, and naturally one doesn’t prepare them with special care. One just needs to choose a decent one to give. Therefore, it is very common to pass on birthday gifts given by others to others.
Although Xie Yixiao didn't like the second uncle who had the idea of cheating on his concubine and killing his wife, she had always done a good job on her face and would not let anyone find fault with her.
