Even though she had guessed the answer, Yu Qingwu was still extremely shocked. Thinking about how she had asked Xie Jinyan before, why she didn't tell Xie Ruizhi about the fact that Xu Zian pretended to claim Xu Xingzhi's credit in return for his kindness, in order to make Xie Ruizhi give up.
At this moment, when he realized that he had admitted the wrong person, Yu Qingwu understood the reason more and more.
As Xie Jinyan said, liking someone is not just because the other person saved you.
Maybe he loves his beauty Jiyue, or maybe he admires his outstanding talents, or maybe he admires his gentleness and considerateness. Xie Jinyan didn't expose Senior Brother Xiao, just like he didn't expose Xu Zian in the past.
But even so, Yu Qingwu still wanted to hear the answer from him with his own ears.
She gritted her teeth, tried hard to control her emotions, and with muted guilt and sadness, she called him again in a low voice, "Your Highness, why didn't you expose Senior Brother Xiao that day?"
"Could it be that Senior Sister doesn't like Gu after Gu exposed him?" Xie Jinyan raised his eyebrows, and a wry smile appeared in his beautiful eyes. "Furthermore, could it be that if I knew the truth that day, Senior Sister wouldn't hate Gu?"
"So, why expose yourself and ask for trouble? You may not get an answer that will be more hurtful."
Yes, if Xie Jinyan had told the truth, she would not have believed it at that time.
Perhaps, they would also think that Xie Jinyan was lying.
At that time, her relationship with Xie Jinyan was at its most tense. As for Senior Brother Xiao, her love might not be so passionate, but she had to admit that she would prefer the gentle and sunny Senior Brother Xiao and would insist on believing in him.
It was Senior Brother Xiao who saved her.
But at this moment, when he heard Xie Jinyan tell the truth again, Yu Qingwu felt nothing at all, because he no longer loved that way. When he recalled the details, he would be much clearer.
This feeling is just like that after Xie Ruizhi saw Xu Zian's careless side, he already had a grudge against him. Only when he reveals the truth will it be easier to accept and believe...
At this moment, Yu Qingwu suddenly didn't know what to say.
She lowered her eyes and said nothing.
After a long time, he suppressed his emotions, gently held Xie Jinyan's hand, and said softly, "Your Highness, if you have anything to tell me in the future, maybe you can tell me some things as soon as possible, so that you won't end up in trouble.
Deeper and deeper..."
"Okay, let's get on the carriage. It's getting late. If it's too late, we won't be able to reach the inn."
"As for Chuntao, there is no need to go with me. I can do many things myself. Since I am returning to my master, I have to follow the rules of my master."
Pulling his wrist, Yu Qingwu urged him again in a gentle voice.
Perhaps because of the sudden mention of the past, Xie Jinyan suddenly became silent and did not refuse.
He just nodded slightly, turned around and walked towards the carriage.
"I have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."
The two turned around and were about to get into the carriage when a familiar and gentle voice suddenly came from behind.
It's...brother.
Why is he here?
Could it be that he knew she was going on a long journey and came to see her off?
Yu Qingwu's body trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
But when she turned around, she still tried her best to suppress the joy in her eyes, and only followed Xie Jinyan forward, nodding to Yu Qi in a very kind and dignified manner.
Xie Jinyan glanced at Yu Qi lightly, his tone was as calm and serious as ever, and asked him, "Attendant Yu is coming to the Prince's Mansion now, but what are your orders from the Emperor?"
Yu Qiduan straightened up, nodded slightly, and replied with a smile, "Yes, His Majesty asked the slave to bring a message to His Highness, saying that the gang of bandits in Shu have been causing a lot of trouble recently, and His Highness has gone
, so pay attention to these.”
"This is the token."
As he spoke, Yu Qi took out a golden token from his sleeve and handed it to Xie Jinyan.
There was no imperial edict, but the emperor was given a unique token, which was intended to make him act secretly.
only……
Xie Jinyan frowned and said with some confusion, "Servant Yu, as far as I know, didn't I just send my eldest brother to exterminate the mountain bandits in Yunzhou, Shu region half a month ago?"
"His Majesty did send the eldest prince there, but..." Yu Qi pursed her lips with a complicated expression, "Anyway, you are going to Shu anyway and have to run errands, so let's take care of this matter together.
It can be regarded as relieving His Majesty’s worries.”
The implication is that Xie Qiyun can't take down the bandits? Let him deal with the aftermath? But he can't let people know it. How can Xie Qiyun take the credit?
That's right, although Xie Qiyun is a bit stupid, he is his father's first child after all.
Even though my father intended to suppress the You family and the Liu family, he still felt sorry for Xie Qiyun.
Therefore, this time, Xie Qiyun was implicated in the Okra incident and was sent to Sichuan to suppress bandits. The original intention was to let him perform meritorious service and get his previous official position back through his meritorious service. Unfortunately, Xie Qiyun did not have the ability, so he was allowed to
Help Xie Qiyun?
After all, my father still cares more about his boss.
Xie Jinyan was unhappy, but he didn't say anything. He just said softly, "Okay, I understand."
"By the way, Your Majesty, Your Majesty also asked me to bring you another sentence." As soon as Xie Jinyan finished speaking, Yu Qi across from him spoke again, as if he had read through his mind, and lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty said,
The second son of the You family also secretly followed during this trip. A spy reported that there were many remnants of the Qi family among the bandits, and the You family may have colluded with them. You must be careful and don't let the news out easily."
The second child of the You family is also there? He also colludes with the Queen Qi family who have occupied the Xie family's imperial power for many years?
So, is the father worried that he will cause trouble if his whereabouts are exposed?
For a moment, Xie Jinyan was extremely embarrassed.
But soon, he returned to his normal expression, nodded slightly, and responded to Yu Qi, "I understand what my father meant."
After saying that, he gave Yu Qingwu another look, then turned around and got into the carriage.
He was giving her and her brother space to talk.
Obviously, in the past, I always looked forward to meeting my brother and having a good chat with him.
But now, with only the two of them left, Yu Qingwu didn't know what to say, and Yu Qi, who had always been dignified and steady, was also a little at a loss.
After a moment of stalemate, Yu Qingwu spoke first. She pursed her lips and said a little unfamiliarly, "Um... the prince and I are probably not going for half a year, but it will take two or three months. When my brother from the clan comes, he will also be with the rest of the servants."
They have some friendship, and I hope that Eunuch Yu will take care of them more during these days."
Yu Qi was picking her hands. After listening to Yu Qingwu's words, she also understood the meaning. She nodded with a smile and said, "Prince Concubine, don't worry, I will help take care of it. You... be careful when you go with His Highness. If there is anything,
You must write a letter to inform me of the matter."
"Okay, thank you so much, Mr. Yu."
Yu Qingwu had no expression on his face, but he couldn't help but shed tears in his eyes.
If my brother is willing to agree, he has acknowledged his identity. Although he cannot express it clearly, it is enough.
After saying goodbye to Yu Qi and getting on the carriage again, Yu Qingwu couldn't help but smiled and said to Xie Jinyan, "Your Highness, he admits it, brother, he admits it." This chapter has been completed!
