"Father, Ah Yue, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to go with us."
Half an hour later, Yu Shuyue had almost rested. Just as they were about to set off and continue their journey, Yu Hengyue led the prince over.
After hearing her brother's words, Yu Shuyue paused as she got on the carriage, then turned back to look at the prince.
"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince." She bowed and saluted.
"How is Ah Yue doing lately?"
Counting it all together, he had not seen her for two months. After such a long time, Qi Xiuyao couldn't control his eyes at this moment and kept focusing on her.
"Your Highness, I would like to send you my thoughts. My daughter is well."
Yu Shuyue always had a calm expression on her face, and she answered him respectfully and politely, not at all as casual and natural as before.
When Qi Xiuyao heard this, his eyebrows that had relaxed just now slowly frowned.
After not seeing each other for two months, is Ah Yue already so unfamiliar with him?
"Of course. Ah Yue, let's get back to the carriage. It's time to set off, otherwise it will get late later."
Seeing that something was wrong in the atmosphere between the two, Father Yu quickly responded to what his son had just said while urging his daughter to get back to the carriage.
They set out in the morning before Chen time, and now it was the end of noon. They had to reach the villa on the mountain before Shen time, otherwise they would spend the entire day on the road.
Qi Xiuyao stared at her back. Knowing that the curtain of the carriage was lowered and he could no longer see clearly inside, he withdrew his gaze and greeted Father Yu.
Inside the carriage.
"Miss, are you worried?"
After Shaoyao saw his young lady returning to the carriage, she picked up a storybook and read it carefully. However, a quarter of an hour had passed and the young lady's eyes were still stuck on that page, never turning the page.
"Miss?"
Shaoyao shouted for a long time, but there was no response from her. She was about to reach out and wave it in front of Yu Shuyue's eyes, but was stopped by Aster on the side.
Zi Wan shook her head slightly and signaled her not to disturb the lady.
Shaoyao had no choice but to take her hand back.
Yu Shuyue was completely unaware of every move of her two maids. She was immersed in her own thoughts at the moment and automatically blocked the outside world.
Her mind at the moment was focused on what had just happened.
After two months, she was obsessed with the story all day long, and thought she had completely forgotten Qi Xiuyao.
But when she saw that face just now, her mind had automatically combined Qi Xiuyao's face with Xiao Mi's face in the dream.
The same facial features, the same expression, they are the same person!
The key is that Xiao Mi is not a fictional character in her dream, but an emperor recorded in history books.
All these things reminded her that everything in the dream was very likely to have really happened, and all her inferences were very likely to be true.
All the assumptions were established, and she didn't know whether she should be lucky or not.
After all, Qi Xiuyao's thoughts in this life were no simpler than Xiao Mi's. If she hadn't had this dream, if she hadn't figured out the matter, she might not have known how she was betrayed.
Realizing that she was struggling with this matter again, she frowned.
She has clearly thought about it in the past two months, and she has indeed achieved it. Now she faces him without any disturbance in her heart. Why is she still entangled now?
"Snapped--"
Yu Shuyue suddenly closed the storybook in her hand and placed it on the small table beside her with a snap.
"Miss, what's wrong?"
The two little girls, Shaoyao and Ziyuan, were frightened by her sudden movement.
"Nothing, I'm just more determined about one thing."
She was determined to stay away from Qi Xiuyao. If possible, she didn't even want her father and brother to take sides.
Because of the current situation, my father and brother may do things for the prince.
However, in the previous life, Shi An's family was destroyed because of Xiao Mi's country, her father hanged himself, and she jumped off the city wall, but she did not end up with a good end.
And the current Qi Xiuyao is so similar to Xiao Mi in the dream, she is afraid that her father and brother will not get a good outcome either.
But with the current situation in the court, it is impossible for them to be alone.
Looking at the overall situation, all the princes in the struggle for the throne are not good. No matter who their father and brother work for in the end, they are all very dangerous.
From this point of view, Qi Xiuyao is more suitable.
After all, he has such a deep mind and can keep a low profile for twenty years. He must be a person who is doing great things.
Moreover, Yu Shuyue had an inexplicable trust in him and felt that he would stand out in this battle for the throne.
He was Emperor Xiao in his last life. How could he lose and be ordinary like this?
If my father and the others were siding with other princes, when Qi Xiuyao came to power, they might be liquidated.
In this case, it is a good thing to stand against him now.
Since things cannot be changed, and since this is the best outcome, she can only let it develop. All she can do is remind her father to be careful and leave a way out for herself.
Yu Shuyue, who had thought it through thoroughly, felt relaxed all over. She stretched her body, finally lay down on the couch in the carriage, and began to take a nap with her eyes closed.
Peony and Aster on the side were stunned. What did my lady decide?
It felt like she was breathing a long sigh of relief.
Although they didn't know what was going on, they were happy for her when they saw how relaxed the young lady was.
Anyway, the lady's decision is definitely right.
In another gorgeous and low-key carriage, in contrast to Yu Shuyue's obviously relaxed look, Qi Xiuyao's eyebrows were frowning at this moment, as if he could pinch a fly to death.
He couldn't understand why Yu Shuyue's attitude towards him was so different.
Obviously two months ago, she was very familiar with him and talked to him with a smile on her face. Moreover, the way she looked at him at that time showed that she had a good impression, he could be sure.
So what happened in the past two months that caused her to have such a completely opposite attitude towards herself?
Qi Xiuyao couldn't figure it out. After all, Yu Shuyue couldn't go out or step out the second door for the past two months, and nothing happened.
wrong.
It didn't happen in the past two months, it happened two months ago. After all, she was also avoiding him in the past two months.
His face became darker.
Although he figured out when she probably avoided him, he couldn't figure out why.
It may be difficult for me to know the reason why she looks like this now.
He opened the carriage curtain and whispered a few instructions to Hua An.
He would not allow the two of them to become mere ministers and kings. This chapter has been completed!
