Xie Yuncang's heart skipped a beat again. Because of those rumors, the identities of Xie Songhua and Xie Shuhua have become a little sensitive now.
Naturally, it is impossible to hide such a thing from His Majesty, but now that I am asking him face to face, I don’t know what it means.
With concern, he briefly explained the matter of holding the two children in the wrong hands.
Emperor Yufeng seemed to be very interested, and he really listened attentively. After a long time, he said: "Since I made a mistake, I should set things right. It's a good thing for you that you have two daughters."
Xie Yuncang said quickly: "What the Holy One said is that the wife at home is not in good health, and she and her children have a really deep relationship. If you think about it carefully, there is something wrong. I will go back..."
"Hey! That's not necessary. Everyone has their own family affairs. You can just handle it yourself. I just said it casually. I heard that your two daughters are very outstanding?"
Hearing this, Xie Yuncang couldn't help but break out a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. Although the Holy Father didn't mention the fate of the two of them, the clues had clearly been revealed.
"My daughter Pu Liu's talents are really not worth mentioning. The few good names she has are all praise and compliments from her relatives and friends. They should not be taken seriously."
He still had that mature and solemn look, but Emperor Yufeng's face had not changed much, and he was still playing with the chess pieces in the basket leisurely.
After a long time, I heard the king on the other end say, "That's not entirely true. The queen has seen many noble girls from aristocratic families, but she rarely invites a specific one to the palace. It can be seen that your girl really has something special."
Xie Yuncang was shocked again. The queen invited them into the palace?
When did it happen?!
His mind was racing, and just when he was about to say something, he saw Emperor Yufeng turning to look out the window, "Hey! It's snowing."
Isn’t it?
The dark clouds that had been covering the top of the head seemed to be unable to bear it anymore. With a gust of cold wind, snowflakes began to fly like catkins.
Queen Zhao seemed a little surprised, "Ah! Look at this day! I forgot to pay attention to the situation outside. I don't know when this snow will fall."
Xie Songhua was also very depressed. He was called into the palace just to drink tea and chat with the queen.
She didn't know how many good things she had heard from His Highness the Crown Prince, and she was really afraid that if she continued to listen, the Queen would call the Crown Prince over to praise him in person.
It was snowing heavily right now, how could we go here? And she had to go back and tell her the news about today's discovery, so she felt a little anxious.
Xie Songhua gritted his teeth, then stood up and said, "My wife is atone for my sins. My grandmother is still ill at home, and my daughter is really worried. I would like to request to go back early while the snow has not yet fallen heavily."
Queen Zhao seemed not to have expected Xie Songhua to make such an outburst. She was stunned for a moment and then glanced out the window. She really didn't look like she could stop for a while.
He didn't force him to stay, "Good boy, I didn't know that the old lady was sick. You have filial piety, which is naturally a good thing, but this snow..."
"It's just raining now. I think it's not freezing yet on the street outside, so it won't be a problem."
Queen Zhao then raised her voice and ordered the palace officials to send Xie Songhua out, "Arrange a stable carriage and make sure to deliver Miss Xie safely."
Xie Songhua breathed a sigh of relief, and then thanked En and resigned.
The snow outside was really heavy, mixed with the cold wind, and the umbrella didn't seem to be in use even though it was open. Fortunately, I was wearing a cloak, which could protect me from the cold wind.
When she walked to the palace gate, Xie Songhua felt that her hands and feet were almost frozen. Fortunately, there was a stove on the carriage, and the warmth slowly crept up on her body, and she slowly felt as if she was alive again.
It's just that after being extremely cold and then being enveloped in warmth, the joints of the hands were sore and numb.
Probably because of the heavy snow, the carriage was a little dark, and the street outside was not as bustling as usual.
Xie Songhua pushed open the window pane and slightly raised a corner of the car curtain. The snow outside was getting heavier and heavier, and rolls as big as goose feathers shook down from the sky, creating heavy shadows.
She felt a chill coming from deep down her back for no reason, making her shiver.
Just when she was about to close the window again, she suddenly realized that something was wrong. Although she was not very familiar with the streets of the capital.
However, Yongfang, where the Xie Mansion was located, was not far from the imperial palace. She could still memorize those streets, but the road the carriage was traveling on was clearly not any of the ones she was familiar with.
She carefully identified the shops on the street and confirmed that they were not!
Xie Songhua subconsciously went to push the car door. He stretched out his hand halfway and then retracted it. Since the carriage was already going somewhere else, how could the driver outside be a good person?
She leaned back and carefully opened the back window. Fortunately, there was no one behind her.
It was just that the carriage was going too fast, which made her a little panicked.
In the previous life, I missed my footing and hit my head on the stairs and died. This time, I must not lose my life so easily!
Xie Songhua gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and jumped down.
He rolled around on the ground a few times, and because he was protecting his vitals, he hit his elbows hard, and finally his lower back hit the steps of a nearby store.
Xie Songhua stood up slowly while holding on to the railing, and then walked into the alley beside him, enduring the pain.
She didn't know where this place was, but if the other party found out that she had escaped, they would definitely come here to look for her.
Although she had only been out a few times, according to Xie Songhua's several observations, the streets in the capital were arranged in a very orderly manner, basically in a tic-tac-toe structure. She had to go to another street first and find a larger restaurant or inn.
Ask them to send someone to thank the family to pick him up.
But she didn't have an umbrella, and the cold wind was wrapped in heavy snow and hit her directly. The cold wind seemed to be intentional, and it penetrated into her neck, making her shiver with cold.
The shoes under my feet were also soaked in the deep and shallow shoes. They made a squeaking sound when I walked, and my toes were so cold that they hurt.
There is a faint light ahead, which seems to be the exit of this alley.
Xie Songhua wanted to speed up his pace, but he staggered even more.
She ducked under the eaves of a nearby house and rested for a while before moving forward, when she suddenly realized that something was not right about the situation.
I don’t know when there were a few more figures on the opposite eaves.
If you don't look carefully, you won't even be able to tell that they are people. They are like dormant animals hidden behind the thick snow curtain.
Xie Songhua almost stopped breathing. She didn't know what happened today. At this time, she had no intention of thinking about the twists and turns here.
At this moment, Xie Songhua just wanted to survive.
She looked around and saw that the door of that house was not far away, but it was closed tightly at the moment. If there was any movement outside, no one would open it for her.
In the past, it was a very small alley, and she had no idea what was going on there.
But if you stay here, you will die. If you break in, there may be a chance of success. Do you still have to choose?
Almost as soon as he saw the alley, Xie Songhua immediately ran there.
"Whoosh"!
The gust of wind flashed past, almost out of an instinct of survival, which made Xie Songhua try his best to turn sideways, and then he saw the arrow stuck in the pillar next to him, with its tail still trembling.
If it weren't for the strong heart she had developed on the operating table, she really thought she would faint right now.
Although his feet were still a little weak, Xie Songhua still ran that way desperately.
She still covered her ears with both hands so that she could not hear, so that she could concentrate without being disturbed. Finally, amid the sound of breaking through the air, she finally ducked into the alley.
but……
She suddenly noticed something was wrong.
The arrows outside stopped, but the sound of swords being exchanged came.
