Chu Han stood at the bow of the boat, looking at Xie Yao's back who was quickly leaving on the shore. His dark eyes softened for a moment, "How many days until we arrive in Beijing?"
"We can arrive in Beijing as soon as tomorrow night."
"Wait for now. We'll start tomorrow afternoon at the latest."
"Your Majesty, we will be less than fifty miles away from the capital tomorrow afternoon. If we attack there, there will be too much movement, and it will easily let..."
"No need to say more, I still have something to do, and I need to finish it before I can take action." A soft smile flashed across the corner of Chu Han's eyes, and then he looked away from Xie Yao's back and ordered in a deep voice: "Come here.
People, return home.”
"yes!"
…
On the other side, Xie Yao and Xie Wenwu quickly arrived at a large house and quickly walked in from the side door.
This house is located in a prosperous area of Beijing and is not low-key at all.
"Have you been staying here these days?" Xie Yao asked Xie Wenwu.
Such an eye-catching mansion must be the primary target of Emperor Zhaochu's men.
"Yes. An old subordinate of the General's Mansion bought this in someone else's name. Because he has been doing business since he quit the court, he bought this family property." Xie Wenwu led Xie Yao inside and returned.
road.
"His previous family background was very prosperous?" Xie Yao looked around. The style here seemed low-key, but in fact it was also very luxurious.
If you want to buy such a family property, you need more money than you can earn by doing business in just one or two years.
Xie Wenwu shook his head, "He has no family background and started from scratch. When he resigned, he had less than a hundred taels of silver in his hand."
Xie Yao was a little curious after hearing this, "So powerful? If you have time, introduce him to me."
Unexpectedly, there is a business genius in the old department of the General's Mansion.
"Okay. He has been busy with a big business recently and is not at home. When he comes back, I will ask him to find you." Xie Wenwu responded.
Xie Yao nodded.
Soon, we arrived outside a courtyard.
"Miss Wu is inside, you can chat, I won't go in." Xie Wenwu stood still at the entrance of the hospital.
"Go and do your work." When Xie Yao just came back, she saw someone looking for Xie Wenwu, but Xie Wenwu pushed him away.
"Okay." Xie Wenwu nodded with a smile, turned around and left quickly.
Xie Yao stepped into the courtyard. Although the courtyard was plain, it was very neat. She slightly raised her corners and shouted softly towards the front room, "Peiya, are you in there? I'm here."
The next moment, there was a bang in the room, as if something had fallen. Then the door was opened with great force, and a handsome figure stood at the door.
Wu Peiya stood at the door and couldn't believe it. Seeing that the person who came was really the princess, she immediately ran out, her face flushed with excitement, "Princess!"
Xie Yao's eyes fell on Wu Peiya's face, and the smile that had just appeared at the corner of her mouth suddenly froze, "Peiya, your face... was scratched by Chen Dadu's people?"
On Wu Peiya's face, there was a deep stab wound, which penetrated the entire face from left to right, with the part on the nose being the deepest!
The wound is exposed to the air and has begun to heal!
Even so, the nasal bones are vaguely visible in that part of the wound on the nose!
It looks very distressing.
When the princess asked about her injury, Wu Peiya smiled nonchalantly and said, "No. When I escaped, I did it myself in order not to be recognized."
Xie Yao frowned.
I drew it myself...
Self-mutilation requires a lot of courage, not to mention that Wu Peiya is scratching the face that women care about most.
She could even imagine how determined Wu Peiya was in her heart at that time.
"Don't move, let me take a look." Xie Yao saw that there was still a trace of blood red in the wound, so she asked Wu Peiya to get closer.
After seeing it, she felt a little relieved. She looked at Wu Peiya and said seriously: "Your wound can still be saved. If you don't want to bear this scar for the rest of your life, I can help you."
"Really?" Wu Peiya immediately exclaimed, her eyes bright.
But soon, the brightness in his eyes dimmed. When he raised his head again, his eyes were already the same as before. He shook his head and refused, "No need."
"Are you afraid of being recognized?" Xie Yao saw Wu Peiya's concerns and said with a smile: "Now that the situation in Beijing has stabilized, I will ask my brother to send you safely out of the capital and let you reunite with your parents.
Then go to a place where no one knows you! You don’t have to worry about being recognized.”
Wu Peiya still shook her head and said firmly: "Princess, if you don't dislike my appearance, I want to stay by your side from now on to repay your kindness."
Xie Yao looked at Wu Peiya, her eyes moving slightly.
Xie Wenwu said that Wu Peiya was worried, and it turned out to be this.
It is a good thing for her to keep Wu Peiya by her side, but Wu Peiya's parents are still alive, and if Wu Peiya stays with her, she is destined to leave her parents.
Seeing that Xie Yao didn't respond, Wu Peiya took this as a polite rejection. Her eyes instantly turned red, but she endured it and said with a forced smile: "Princess, don't take it seriously, I was just joking. I know the current situation of the princess, everything is different."
You must be careful, of course I can't cause trouble to the princess."
"When the wound on my face gets better in a few days, I can leave Beijing."
Xie Yao smiled slightly, but the smile in her eyes was very strong.
She saw all the changes in Wu Peiya's expression just now, and asked softly: "Peiya, are you really willing to stay with me?"
"You have to think clearly. If you stay, you will have to stay away from your parents. It could be a few months, a few years, or even longer. You may not have a chance to see them. Are you really relieved?
?”
She deliberately made the situation serious.
In fact, as long as conditions permit, Wu Peiya still has some opportunities to meet her parents.
"I do! I am very willing!" Wu Peiya responded repeatedly, and immediately threw herself into Xie Yao's arms. Her eyes instantly became redder, tears flowed out uncontrollably, and she cried with joy.
The princess doesn't dislike her and is willing to take her in. That's great!
Really great!
Xie Yao smiled and patted Wu Peiya's back, "Okay, then you will stay with me in the future. I can give you time to settle down with your parents, and then come back to me after you have settled in. You need
how long?"
Wu Peiya also thought of her parents who were far away from home. She calmed down a little and let go of Xie Yao. "Princess, I don't have to go back. When I sent them out of the capital, I had already arranged for people to take care of them. As long as the princess is willing
Take me in and I can stay with the princess now."
Xie Yao looked at the determined Wu Peiya and paused, "In that case, it's a good thing that you don't leave the city. The injury on your face..."
"Don't worry, Princess, I can add a few more scars to ensure that even if Zi Qing comes over, she won't recognize it is me!" Wu Peiya said, holding a sharp dagger tightly in her hand.
