After saying that, Xie Youwei turned around and walked into the mansion with Xicui without looking back.
Xiao Jinyan, who was standing outside, took two small steps towards the gate, trying to catch up with Xie Youwei's steps.
But it's all in vain.
In front of Xiao Jinyan, the door of Xie's mansion was firmly closed with a clang.
Xiao Jinyan could only understand the solemn gate of Xie Mansion.
The crowd of melon eaters who were watching were also silent. Looking at Xiao Jinyan's back, no one said anything for a moment.
This is His Royal Highness.
To be locked out like this?
The silent faces of every onlooker had gossipy eyes.
Everyone glanced at each other and saw each other's gossip from each other's eyes.
The Queen Mother loves this legitimate son the most. If the Queen Mother finds out about this, I don’t know what kind of actions she will do.
And this Xie Youwei.
Everyone knows that Xie Mansion dotes on his daughter.
General Xie is now going to the frontier to defend his family and country! As a result, the legitimate daughter of Xie Mansion is being bullied so miserably by the royal people in the capital?
Can the Queen Mother explain this clearly?
The Queen Mother did find out about this very quickly.
Chu Qin is her only child.
Chu Qin was so humiliated outside today. Of course, this news was like wings. The Queen Mother knew about it all of a sudden.
The Queen Mother in Cining Palace, listening to what the eunuch below reported to her, angrily slapped the handle of the chair next to her.
"She's so brave!"
The Queen Mother was extremely angry.
Her Qin'er should have been the pride of heaven, respected by all people.
After the fire, she spent a lot of effort so that no one in the capital dared to say anything wrong about Chu Qin, because they were worried that Chu Qin would be hurt if he heard about it.
How dare Xie Youwei do this today!
It was like pressing her face to the ground and trampling on her!
The Queen Mother immediately flew into a rage, waving her hands and angrily asking the eunuchs around her to bring Xie Youwei to the palace.
She wanted to punish Xie Youwei herself!
Feeling the Queen Mother's anger, the eunuch didn't dare to raise his head. He hurriedly said yes and then crawled out.
Just as he walked out of Cining Palace, the eunuch bumped into Chu Yan, who was dressed in yellow robes.
Before the eunuch could react, he heard Chu Yan's deep voice.
"Why are you so impatient? What a shame to be in such a hurry!"
The eunuch was frightened by Chu Yan's attitude. He knelt down on the ground again and kowtowed hard to Chu Yan.
"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, I'm just doing things as ordered... I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up..."
The little eunuch's voice was trembling.
He was just a little eunuch, but those old guys knew that reporting this matter to the Queen Mother would definitely arouse the Queen Mother's anger, so they pushed this hot potato to his side.
The others spoke softly and had no way to resist, so they had no choice but to take the job.
Take a look.
Isn't it very bad now?
The little eunuch mentally scolded the group of evasive eunuchs, as if this could relieve his nervousness.
Chu Yan raised his eyebrows, seeming to be interested in what the little eunuch was going to do.
"What are you going to do?"
Chu Yan had already spoken. Naturally, the little eunuch did not dare to hide anything. He bowed his body and told everything as if he had picked up the beans.
When Chu Yan heard that the Queen Mother was going to find Xie Youwei, he immediately curled his lips and waved.
"Okay, since it's the queen's order, let's go quickly."
How could Chu Yan stop it?
If the Queen Mother really calls Xie Youwei over to teach her a lesson, the people will definitely be disappointed with the Queen Mother.
At that time, he was the one who benefited.
After getting Chu Yan's permission, the little eunuch naturally didn't dare to delay for another minute and ran out again in a panic.
Chu Yan took a deep look at the Queen Mother's Cining Palace, with some indescribable emotions in his eyes.
Finally, he curled his lips and turned to leave.
The Queen Mother inside was completely unaware of all this and was still furious. She even smashed several tea cups and still couldn't feel any relief.
The little maids around her didn't dare to say anything. They all lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at the Queen Mother.
And when the little eunuch rushed to the door of Xie's mansion, he couldn't see Xie Youwei at all.
Because when the eunuch rushed back, Xiao Jinyan was still hoeing at the door of the Xie Mansion.
At this moment, many of the melon-eating crowds around had dispersed, and only a small number of idle people were still looking at Xiao Jinyan.
Because Xiao Jinyan remained silent, many people around him became emboldened and began to discuss in low voices.
"How long do you think His Majesty will stand here?"
"Should we leave soon? After all, His Royal Highness is a prince. Standing like this at the door of Xie Mansion... is a bit too humble..."
"Didn't that mean that His Highness the King had to bear the consequences of Miss Xie's family first?"
"That's right! Playing with Miss Xie's feelings like that! It's strange that Miss Xie isn't angry!"
"Hey, what do you think this prince is thinking? It's him who wants to betrothed, and he's the one who wants to break off the engagement. Now he's the one who's come to bother me after breaking off the engagement. It's really hard to understand!"
Listening to everyone's words, the little eunuch felt like he was going to explode.
His Royal Highness is still standing here?!
If the Queen Mother found out, he would be punished again.
The little eunuch's face fell completely, and he looked dejected.
But there is no other way, I still have to do what my master ordered me to do.
The little eunuch took a deep breath and walked up resignedly.
Before he could speak, the young eunuch was noticed by Xiao Jinyan.
Xiao Jinyan squinted his eyes and looked at the little eunuch. His voice was no longer as gentle as before, but instead had a bit of coldness.
"Did the Queen Mother ask you to come?"
The little eunuch shuddered, subconsciously knelt down again, and nodded tremblingly at Xiao Jinyan.
While nodding, he couldn't stop complaining in his heart.
Usually he is not accessible to any big shot, but today he was contacted one after another.
He is so miserable!!!
Xiao Jinyan didn't know what was going on in the little eunuch's mind and was not interested in it. He just glanced at the little eunuch lightly and withdrew his gaze.
"You go back."
As soon as Xiao Jinyan said these words, the little eunuch became even more flustered.
"Can……"
The little eunuch hesitated for a long time, with a bit of hesitation on his face.
"Just tell the Queen Mother that this is what I mean."
Xiao Jinyan's tone was very cold, with a bit of indignity.
The little eunuch looked at Xiao Jinyan and then at the tightly closed door of Xie's Mansion. While complaining about his fate, he nodded and retreated.
In the palace, after hearing the young eunuch telling her truthfully what Xiao Jinyan said, the Queen Mother angrily threw another tea cup out.
"Damn it! What kind of medicine did that Xie Youwei give my son, so that his son became like this!"
The Queen Mother could not accept that her son had lowered his stature because of a woman, so she immediately blamed Xie Youwei for everything.
It was clear that her son said yesterday that he was not interested in Xie Youwei, so why did he become like this today?
Could it be that Xie Youwei used some shameful trick on his son?
Thinking of this possibility, the Queen Mother's face suddenly turned pale, and she didn't know what to do.
In short, because of Xiao Jinyan's obstruction, the Queen Mother was unable to find someone to bring Xie Youwei to the palace in the end.
Xie Youwei stayed in the house for several more days. The days were the same as usual, and there seemed to be no difference.
Xie Youwei also seemed to be changing back to her original appearance bit by bit.
But both Xicui and Xie Lianzhu always felt that something was not right with Xie Youwei.
Xiao Jinyan has been trying hard to find an opportunity to meet Xie Youwei, but he has never been able to find one. He has been turned away and not even a piece of Xie Youwei's dress can be seen.
The news of breaking off the engagement spread throughout the capital at an extremely fast speed as Xie Lianzhu told her that day.
In other words, not only everyone in the capital knew about it.
General Xie and Mrs. Xie who were far away on the border knew about it.
General Xie and Mrs. Xie were caught off guard and rushed back to the capital on a sunny afternoon.
The first thing they did when they returned to the capital was that General Xie and Mrs. Xie didn't even go back to the mansion to rest for a while. They just wore the military uniforms from the frontier and stormed into the palace with great momentum.
When the Queen Mother in the Cining Palace was still thinking about how to deal with Xie Youwei's foxy son without resistance, she suddenly heard the news from her servants.
"The Queen Mother! General Xie and Mrs. Xie are here! The Emperor is calling you over now!"
The Queen Mother's expression suddenly changed and she looked at the person who came to retaliate.
"What are General Xie and Mrs. Xie?"
Aren't those two people supposed to be at the border?
Why did you suddenly come back?
The servant's face was full of embarrassment. Although he knew that the Queen Mother would be angry, he still explained.
"It's the parents of Xie Youwei and Xie Nianzhu who were in the border area before..."
The servant's voice became lower and lower.
The Queen Mother stood up, her face showing surprise, shock and anger.
Damn it, it's really them.
Are they desperate?
Running back now is, to be honest, against the imperial edict! Is it worth it just for such a girl?
Although she was dissatisfied, the Queen Mother still went to the place mentioned by the Emperor.
When she entered, the Queen Mother immediately saw the Xie family and his wife standing in the center of the hall.
General Xie was still wearing the clothes worn by soldiers who trained on the frontier, with a burlap lining and dull armor. He looked solemn and a bit too depressing.
Mrs. Xie on the other side also wore similar clothes.
After all, we are on the border, and we cannot have the same fine clothes and fine food as we do in the capital.
Mrs. Xie also wore the same burlap clothes, and she didn't wear any hair accessories on her head. Her long, shiny black hair was casually pulled into a simple bun.
There doesn't seem to be any difference between the simple-looking women and those women in the countryside.
Looking at the two people in front of her, a trace of disgust flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes.
She has been in a high position for too long, and now she feels a bit disgusted and has a sense of superiority when she sees such a common dress among the people.
Neither General Xie nor Mrs. Xie paid attention to these little thoughts of the Queen Mother.
Seeing the Queen Mother coming in, the two of them got straight to the point.
"My husband and I rushed back this time because of the matter of our little girl Xie Youwei."
General Xie turned around and turned his attention to Chu Yan.
Chu Yan nodded.
"Well, I have heard a little bit about this matter. I wonder what Aiqing wants to ask for?"
Hearing this, the Queen Mother opened her lips. She was about to scold General Xie and Mrs. Xie for not obeying the rules and running back because of these things during the mission. It was really too much.
However, the Queen Mother had not yet spoken.
General Xie and Mrs. Xie both bowed in the direction of the emperor's brother.
"First of all, we need to ask the emperor to punish us!"
The two people bowed and their voices overlapped, showing complete respect.
Although Chu Yan, who was sitting in the main seat, knew all this, he did not want to show that he was an insider. Looking at the performance of the couple, he raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"What's wrong with you two dear ladies?"
It was General Xie who spoke again.
General Xie waved again in Chu Yan's direction.
"My wife and I were really frightened by what happened to our little girl this time. We rushed to the capital without stopping, hoping to find a small place for our daughter to at least make her feel better."
As if he thought General Xie's words were particularly good, Chu Yan sat on the main seat, listened quietly to General Xie's words, and raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"You two are both heroes of our dynasty, so how can I blame you for these things?"
Chu Yan's words were directed toward General Xie and Mrs. Xie.
The Queen Mother felt that the people in front of her were mocking her openly or covertly. She was so angry that she felt unhappy, but she couldn't say anything more.
However, General Xie and Mrs. Xie were not prepared to beat around the bush.
The couple squinted their eyes and looked directly at the Queen Mother.
"The Queen Mother, may I ask what did our family Xiaowei do that made the Queen Mother want to take back that decree?"
The speaker is General Xie.
How much scruples did Mrs. Xie have, but General Xie was different.
General Xie has made so many contributions to the entire country throughout his life. General Xie's status is not false, and he is not afraid of confrontation at all.
His daughter had been wronged, and he was determined not to tolerate it even a little bit.
You must vent your anger on your daughter!
After taking the position of Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is almost the highest-status person in the entire dynasty.
After all, even the emperor is just a puppet under his own control.
It has been too long since she has been in a high position, and the Queen Mother's life has been too fulfilling.
This is the first time in a long time that someone has confronted me so directly and said that I am wrong.
The Queen Mother immediately felt uncomfortable in her heart.
But since General Xie is indeed a rare general, even the Queen Mother cannot offend someone to death.
The Queen Mother had no choice but to suppress all her anger. This chapter has been completed!
