Not only that, the palace attendant who led her also misunderstood.
Judging from Chu Ye's last sentence, this was the effect Chu Ye wanted.
"Yifei Mingjian. It was purely by chance that I met His Highness King Chen. It was King Chen who took the initiative to appear in front of the people's daughter. If King Chen hadn't appeared, the people's daughter would have followed the palace people to Zuoyi Palace, and there was never any involvement.
Regarding the Qing Dynasty, if Concubine Yi doesn't believe it, you can ask the palace attendant who brought the daughter of the common people into the palace." Xie Yao bowed slightly politely.
Although it was an explanation, the expression on Xie Yao's face was neither humble nor arrogant, solemn and clear.
Looking at this posture, Yi Fei's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.
She knew that Yan Jun had met the imperial concubine, the concubine Jing, and the emperor, but Yan Jun's demeanor was not nervous, and there was no trace of fear. This was not the demeanor that a woman from the border should have.
Moreover, looking at Yan Jun's bowed figure, she felt vaguely familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.
"Whether there is any involvement is not yours alone, nor is it the final say of this palace. This matter only needs to be reported to the emperor, and you will know after an investigation." Yi Fei moved out of the emperor's house directly, her beautiful eyes looked at the person in front of her who came from the border, but could
A woman who is neither humble nor overbearing has deep eyes.
"That's what Concubine Yi said." Xie Yao responded with a light tone and some doubts in her heart.
Isn't it because of Wu Peiya's affairs that Yi Fei summoned her? Why can't she get around Chu Ye?
Concubine Yi didn't speak again, and the atmosphere in the palace suddenly became much quieter, with only the sound of the wind chimes being blown by the breeze.
Xie Yao waited for a long time before hearing Yi Fei's soft voice say: "Have you met Wu Peiya?"
Xie Yao's heart moved and she finally got to the point.
"Reporting to Concubine Yi, the daughter of the people has indeed met Miss Wu."
"Why do you want to see her?" Yi Fei's tone lost the coldness before, but there was no kindness at all.
Xie Yao did not answer immediately, but remained silent for a moment.
Yi Fei didn't ask what she had told Wu Peiya, but why she wanted to see Wu Peiya.
It seems that Concubine Yi already knows that she went to Wu Mansion to find Wu Peiya.
Sure enough, when Concubine Yi saw that Xie Yao remained silent, her tone became colder, "I advise you to tell the truth. Otherwise, I will definitely let the emperor thoroughly investigate your matter with Prince Chen."
Xie Yao understood clearly.
It turns out that Yi Fei was holding on to her affair with Chu Ye just now, in order to give her a blow and make her submit.
"Empress Yi Fei Mingjian. The girl went to see Miss Wu because Miss Wu and Zi Qing are good friends." She said in a gentle voice.
"Why is this matter related to Zi Qing?" Yi Fei narrowed her beautiful eyes, obviously not believing Xie Yao's words.
"It's a long story, and it all starts with King Han." Before entering the palace, Xie Yao guessed that Concubine Yi summoned her because Wu Peiya refused the engagement, so she had already thought about it on the way here.
He gave a reason, "The women of the people were brought back to the capital from the border by King Han."
"The people's daughter didn't know until she arrived in the capital that the most beloved person in King Han's heart was Princess Han, but Princess Han was nowhere to be found. The people's daughter really liked King Han and hoped that King Han could find Prince Han's palace as soon as possible. The people's daughter accidentally learned that
, Ziqing is Princess Han’s maid, but she has been staying at Fuyunxuan since Princess Han disappeared, and I feel quite touched.”
"Miss Wu is a good friend of Zi Qing, and she must be a very good person. In addition, Minnu saved Miss Wu's mother before, so it would be a good idea to go and see how Miss Wu's mother is recovering."
After Xie Yao finished speaking, she still bowed her head slightly.
She knew very well that her reason was far-fetched, but it was just because it was far-fetched that it was reasonable.
She came all the way from the border, and Wu Peiya had already left Prince Han's Mansion. It can be said that she had no contact with her. If some reasons were mechanically applied, although it would look more believable, as long as a loophole was found, everything would be lost!
After hearing Xie Yao's words, Concubine Yi did not scold or refute, but said in a calm voice, "What did you say to Peiya?"
She had forgotten that Yan Jun helped the Wu Mansion get rid of the poisonous poison.
"It's just gossip. However, Miss Wu seems to have something on her mind and is not in a good mood." Xie Yao seemed to recall it for a moment, and then said.
"Is it just gossip?" Yi Fei's voice suddenly became sharper, and her pressure suddenly increased.
"That's true. We have only met Miss Wu a few times and have no close friendship." Xie Yao was not affected at all, her expression was as usual.
Concubine Yi looked at Xie Yao and sat up straight. Her whole body exuded the majesty of the master of a palace. Even her voice seemed to be high and mighty, "King Han said you are from the frontier?"
"Yes."
"Is there anyone else at home?"
"My parents died young, and I still have an older brother."
"Did your brother come to the capital with you?"
"No. A civilian girl came to the capital alone, with no one following her."
"You will soon marry into Prince Han's palace. There is not a single elder around you, which is very wrong. Since your parents died young, please bring your brother to the capital as soon as possible. If you are inconvenient to speak to Prince Han, I will
You can order someone to go to Jiangning City to help bring your brother here. You just need to tell me where your family lives."
Yi Fei spoke as usual, as if she was talking about a very ordinary thing, and her eyes just looked at Xie Yao calmly, but under that calmness, there was a touch of inquiry.
"Thank you for your concern, Concubine Yi. There is no need to trouble Concubine Yi for such a small matter. The daughter of the people can send a letter back and ask the brother of the daughter of the people to come to the capital by himself." Xie Yao replied politely.
Saying that she was the only one left in the family would easily arouse suspicion. It would be much better to have an extra brother. Xie Wenwu happened to be in the capital as well.
"If you send someone to deliver the letter, it will be a bit slow. It will delay your time to marry into Prince Han's palace. I can help you fly pigeons to deliver the letter so that your brother can set off as soon as possible." Yi Fei spoke again, offering to help.
"However, Miss Yan still needs to tell you the location of your home so that the letter can be delivered accurately."
When Xie Yao heard this, her lowered eyes suddenly condensed, with a hint of caution.
Is Concubine Yi sure that she influenced Wu Peiya's decision to refuse the engagement? Otherwise, why did she seek her entry into the palace and press her every step of the way?
"Of course, if you don't want me to help, I don't have to do anything. However, I have one request that I hope Miss Yan can agree to, and that is to persuade Peiya to agree to the marriage!" Yi Fei said.
When I spoke, there was still a little bit of smile on my face, but after I finished speaking, my face turned cold.
When Xie Yao heard this, she had no doubt that if she rejected Yi Fei, she would definitely investigate her life story.
However, she will not interfere with Wu Peiya's choice.
It didn't happen before and it won't happen now.
"Empress Yi Fei, please forgive me for being helpless in this matter." She replied word for word.
