Xie Shuhua felt that her heart was suddenly clenched, and she didn't even notice that the thorns on the flower branches had pierced her fingers.
She found herself afraid.
But no matter what she thought, Emperor Yufeng still said what she least wanted to hear, "That's all, you'd better go back! Otherwise, if Mr. Xie is here, I will be blamed for being unreasonable."
The Mr. Xie he is talking about refers to Xie Songhua's grandfather, who once served as Emperor Yufeng's teacher.
Everyone present was shocked. They had already entered the palace, and there were still people who were exempted from selection!
The stone hanging in Xie Songhua's heart finally fell to the ground, but he did not show much joy on his face. Instead, he tried his best to maintain his composure, "On behalf of my family, I thank you for your understanding. I wish your Majesty a long life."
When she saluted, she took a small step forward, but Emperor Yufeng almost immediately took a step back, concealing this with a natural and peaceful expression on his face.
Concubine Gao and Hong Wen on the side immediately took the opportunity to praise Emperor Yufeng's benevolence, and everyone else followed suit.
Xie Shuhua's brain didn't start to work again until now. She hurriedly took two steps forward, but Emperor Yufeng had already turned around and left with Concubine Gao holding his arm.
Everyone bowed to see him off again, and waited until the figure disappeared in the corner of the garden before the place became lively again.
Gao Ying congratulated Xie Songhua, "The fourth girl is really lucky. Unexpectedly, the Holy Father came over at this time. My aunt happened to say something like this, which made the Holy Spirit be so considerate to you."
People who originally said bad things about Xie Songhua now changed their tune and started saying nice things.
To these words, Xie Songhua naturally responded politely one by one, and returned to Chuxiu Palace with everyone.
When he was thinking about how to leave the palace, he saw a young eunuch coming over. He was from Concubine Gao. He said that it was already late today and asked Xie Songhua to leave the palace tomorrow.
After collecting a handful of broken silver, Xie Songhua stood at the door and watched the family leave. When he turned around, he saw Xie Shuhua staring at him fiercely.
This was also expected. Xie Songhua ignored her and turned around to go to his room, but was stopped by Xie Shuhua again.
"How on earth did you do that?"
"What?" Xie Songhua seemed not to understand what she said and raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Xie Shuhua grabbed her wrist and dragged her to the corner of the yard.
When he raised his eyes again, his eye circles were already red, "When the Holy Spirit came up, I clearly saw the surprise in his eyes for you. Why did he change his attitude so quickly and want to let you go? What did you do?"
Xie Songhua pulled his hand back with force, frowned and denied, "I don't know what you are talking about."
Xie Shuhua was unwilling to let her go and directly blocked her way, "Xie Songhua!"
Her eyes were fixed on Xie Songhua's face, and her cheeks were slightly raised due to her clenched back teeth.
The two of them were silent for a while. Finally, Xie Shuhua was defeated. She lowered her eyes and was silent for two breaths before she looked up at the girl in front of her again. Her eyes turned into pleading, "Please tell me! I don't want to."
Entering the palace, I don’t want to be the Holy Emperor’s concubine, so I have no choice.”
Probably after the initial inner defense line was broken, the rest became easier. Xie Shuhua spoke faster and faster, "I promise, as long as this matter is over, as long as I can get out of the palace smoothly, I will never do it again."
As for you, from now on you go your own way and I cross my bridge, so we don’t cross the river."
Seeing her pleading look, Xie Songhua remained unmoved, and even his eyes did not change at all.
Under her pleading eyes, she just said calmly: "I really have no choice. You can see what happened today. If Concubine Gao hadn't mentioned my life experience, the Holy Emperor would not have had mercy on me.
How can I help you?"
As she said that, she bypassed Xie Shuhua and walked out from beside her.
"Xie Songhua!" Xie Shuhua stood there, her voice a little hoarse, but she was afraid of attracting other people's attention and suppressed the volume, "I only ask you this time, I am not blind, you must have used some means, as long as you help me
This time!"
Xie Songhua sighed in her heart. Based on all the previous frame-ups by Xie Shuhua, it was impossible for her to repay evil with kindness. What's more, it was impossible to tell any other third person about her method.
So she didn't even look back, "I've made it very clear, I don't have any solution. Instead of begging me here, you might as well use your smarter head than anyone else and think of any solution to save you."
Own."
After saying that, no matter how she cursed behind her back, Xie Songhua just strode away.
Xue Suqiao and the other two people had already noticed their sister in the corner, and when they saw her coming back, they hurriedly greeted her.
"What's your third sister doing to you? From the look of her, it doesn't look like she's up to anything good."
Xie Songhua was grateful for their concern for him, but he just shook his head and said: "It's just jealousy, it's nothing."
Ye Jinxi smiled and said: "Never mind her! Anyway, you can leave the palace early tomorrow morning. When we go back, we can get together."
Speaking of this, Xue Suqiao sighed, "You are all safe, but I really don't know if I will be chosen by the Holy Emperor!"
"It seems that Qiao'er is very confident in himself!" Yin Shiqiu joked with a smile, "This is because I seriously think that I will definitely be selected!"
Xue Suqiao, who originally had a cheerful temperament, was distracted by these words and started joking with Yin Shiqiu with a smile.
The warblers and swallows in the Chuxiu Palace are like the morning glow under the rising sun, carrying a vitality that is lacking in this palace.
Emperor Yufeng who left here did not feel much of this enthusiasm. Accompanied by Concubine Gao, he sent them away after a while and went to Lingxiao Palace alone.
Hong Wen then found a young eunuch, and after giving a few instructions, he accompanied Emperor Yufeng to the next intersection, where he automatically stopped and Han Jian, who appeared silently, accompanied him and continued on.
Lingxiao Palace is a residence specially built for the Imperial Master. Except for a few disciples of the Imperial Master and a few people, no one else is allowed to enter.
Even the disciples of the Imperial Master are not allowed to leave Lingxiao Palace at will, so this palace is a very special existence in the entire imperial city and even Daqi.
Even the two long cypresses at the entrance of the palace look more solemn than those on the other side.
Han Jian accompanied Emperor Yufeng into the palace gate. There was no smile on his pale face, as if he was just a machine.
When he reached the entrance of the main hall, Han Jian pushed the door open and stood still. He stopped moving forward and was led in by Emperor Yufeng alone.
As dusk fell, the lamps in Lingxiao Palace lit up one by one, and the figures walking in front of the lamps seemed to make no sound, and retreated quietly again.
Han Jian has been following the former eunuch Han Yi since he was a child. Han Yi was originally from a martial arts family. Because he was hunted down by his enemies, he entered the palace as a last resort and became a loyal eagle dog to Emperor Yufeng.
Han Jian has been studying martial arts secretarial skills with Han Yi since he was a child, and he has already become proficient in martial arts. At this time, all the subtle sounds in the deserted silence of Lingxiao Palace, no matter how big or small, actually fell in his ears.
He heard the tired voice of Emperor Yufeng, "I, Imperial Master, have seen what happened that day again."
