Yao Muzixi has been a little worried these days, firstly because he is worried about Xixi's affairs, and secondly because he is upset about Xia Xifeng's marriage. Although Xia Mingyu has taken good care of herself these days, it always makes Yao Muzixi a little uneasy. After all, he is not a person that he trusts 100% in his heart, and he doesn't know what he says or thinks.
Qinghe Palace was very quiet, and there were not many people on weekdays. Only Ouyang Haonan was always by his side. In fact, Yao Muzixi also asked Ouyang Haonan to do more of his own things, but Ouyang Haonan refused. He said that he just wanted to protect the princess, so Yao Muzixi didn't say much. It was his duty to protect himself, so his request obviously made things difficult for him.
The weather has gradually become warmer these days, which seems to be a little different from previous years. This late winter is as warm as spring, which is not bad after all.
In the Prince's Mansion, Xia Mingyu looked at a few people, smiled faintly, and walked to Yao Muzixi's Qinghe Palace, ready to tell a few people to go on the road, but he was a little unsure. His father's health was getting worse day by day. Just be afraid. Unable to survive this winter, Xia Xifeng and Xia Liuliang have no nostalgia for the throne. It's just their second emperor brother, Xia Chenhao, who is unknown.
Looking at the sky, it was getting late. Xia Mingyu looked at Yao Muzixi who was dressing up in the room, and glanced at the room. Several maids combed Yao Muzixi's hair and put on a beautiful flowing skirt. Fairy dress, the makeup on the face is exquisite and beautiful.
Xia Mingyu walked to Yao Muzixi's side and looked at her, with some unspeakable meaning in his heart. He was becoming more and more partial to her, which he really didn't expect. Yao Muzixi turned his head and met Xia Mingyu's eyes. , smiled faintly. This smile was like the spring breeze in March, bathing Xia Mingyu's heart, making him feel for a moment that he seemed to have sunk and could no longer extricate himself.
"You are beautiful, but you have been wronged these days!" Xia Mingyu raised his hand and gently touched Yao Muzixi's forehead, and said with a faint smile, as if there was a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
Yao Muzixi lowered her head in embarrassment and said calmly: "It's getting late, let's go into the palace early! It would be bad if we are late and make our father wait for a long time." He held his fingers tightly together, He was looking at the ground a little absent-mindedly. When he entered the palace, he would definitely see Xia Xifeng and her imperial concubine! Thinking of this, Yao Muzixi's eyes felt a little sour.
Xia Mingyu had a clear view of Yao Muzixi's every move, and he understood it in his heart. However, he couldn't blame her at this time. He only hoped that with the passage of time, she could forget Xia Xifeng and focus on being his own woman.
"Let's go, the carriage is ready, just waiting for you!" Xia Mingyu held Yao Muzixi tightly. Yao Muzixi did not resist, but just walked with him, leaving Qinghe Palace and the Prince's Mansion. , got into the carriage.
When they arrived at the palace, it was still early. Xia Mingyu took Yao Muzixi to the emperor's palace. This was actually what the emperor had ordered a long time ago, but he had delayed it until now.
Xia Ruohan was lying on the bed in the palace, with a sad face, looking at the roof with dull eyes. Xia Mingyu came in with Yao Muzixi, kneeled respectfully in front of Xia Ruohan's bed, and said in a choked voice: "My son, I have come to pay homage to my father."
Yao Muzixi also knelt down and lowered his head, not knowing what to say. Xia Ruohan looked at the two people kneeling on the ground, sat up lightly, walked to them, and helped them up. .
"You all get up! Stop kneeling, my body is getting worse every day." Xia Ruohan looked at the two of them, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart. He knew everything, but he had no choice but to deal with his body, which was really powerless. Manage state affairs again.
"It's Father." Xia Mingyu and Yao Muzixi responded in unison. Xia Mingyu stood up, helped Yao Muzixi up, and then went over to support Xia Ruohan.
Xia Ruohan pulled the two of them in front of him, looked at them, his eyes full of sadness, and said: "You two husband and wife must cooperate well and not cause any more trouble. Now the domestic situation is critical, and our Xia country can only I'm afraid the morale will be weak when the ownership changes."
"What does the father seem to want to tell his son?" Xia Mingyu saw Xia Ruohan and asked tentatively. Yao Muzixi just listened to their conversation indifferently and didn't say much. But this time she did It felt like Xia Mingyu no longer concealed many things from him.
"Actually, I know all of my four sons. Mingyu, you have been careful and cautious in dealing with people since you were a child. I have had high hopes for you since you were a child. I have always known that after your mother passed away, You resent me, but you have to understand my father's painstaking efforts. My father does feel guilty for your mother, and he failed her. I just hope to get your forgiveness." Xia Ruohan said, coughing violently, Looking at Xia Mingyu's face, he looked guilty.
Xia Mingyu's eyes were a little dim, and he smiled faintly, with a light smile, as if he was mocking, and said: "Father, please stop worrying about this matter. I no longer resent you."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Yao Muzixi didn't know what they meant. She just heard a few things about Xia Mingyu's biological mother. But she suddenly became more curious about Xia Mingyu's biological mother, Yao Muzixi.
After walking around the palace for a few times, Yao Muzixi walked aimlessly in the palace, but his heart was in chaos. He was not very familiar with the Xia Kingdom Palace. After walking for an unknown amount of time, he came to a remote courtyard. , there is no one there, only a dilapidated house, there.
Yao Muzixi looked at everything here curiously, feeling a little surprised. Logically speaking, such a huge palace would not have such a dilapidated place. He saw an old dog standing outside the house, lying on the ground, staring motionless. Looking at Yao Muzixi in front of him.
Yao Muzixi squatted there, stroking the dog, stood up and pushed open the door of the broken house. Hearing a creak, the door opened. Yao Muzixi walked in and looked at the dust inside. . Looking at everything inside curiously, he gently stepped in, and suddenly an unknown object fell from the roof.
Yao Muzixi was startled and ran out quickly. After a while, he saw a figure coming out. When Yao Muzixi saw it, his heart calmed down. It turned out that it was Xia Mingyu who was inside.
"Is that you?" Yao Muzixi asked when she saw Xia Mingyu walking over slowly.
Xia Mingyu smiled lightly, hugged Yao Muzixi in his arms, and said with a sad look in his eyes: "Don't leave me again. Apart from you, there is no one else worthy of my cherishment."
Yao Muzixi looked at Xia Mingyu blankly, feeling that he couldn't see through him at this time, and the sadness in his eyes was overwhelming.
