"Haha! Grandpa misses you too!" Although General Xie had already washed up, he was still covered in dust. When he saw Xie Yao with a big belly coming over so quickly, his expression tightened and he quickly walked a few steps, "Walk so fast."
What! Stop! With such a big belly, you don’t know how to look after yourself?”
Although the tone was a lesson, his eyes were extremely soft and kind.
He is going to be a great-grandfather!
Xie Yao knew that her grandfather was worried, so she stood there, waiting for her grandfather to come over. At the same time, she stretched out her hand to hold her stomach, "Don't be so nervous, I'm in good health."
General Xie saw Xie Yao's hand holding his belly, and immediately turned around and scolded Xie Wenwu, "Why are you still standing there! Why don't you bring a chair for your sister! I didn't see that her belly is big and she needs to sit down."
? I really don’t know how you became a brother!"
In one sentence, what Xie Wenwu said means nothing.
Xie Wenwu felt aggrieved, but he immediately found a chair for Xie Yao to sit down.
Xie Yao looked at the old man and the young man in front of him, feeling extremely at ease.
It feels so good to have family around.
The feeling of being pampered is even better.
"The daughter of the people meets the Queen."
"This slave has met the Queen."
Liang Zhixian and Ziqing had been following General Xie, and now they had the opportunity to step forward and salute.
"Get up quickly, there are no outsiders here, so you don't have to be bound by the etiquette." Xie Yao saw Liang Zhixian and Zi Qing, and the smile on her face became even stronger.
They were captured by Emperor Zhaochu and used to threaten him. Fortunately, they were rescued by Chu Han and sent directly out of the capital.
Now that I'm back, they are all fine.
Liang Zhixian is thinner than before, but Ziqing seems to have gained a little weight.
Both of them are in good spirits.
Both of them stood up with smiles and were very happy.
For a time, the atmosphere was very harmonious, and everyone's faces were filled with smiles that could not be concealed.
Soon, the grilled fish feast began. Xie Yao was the commander-in-chief, Xie Wenwu performed, and the others ate.
The palace people outside were shocked when they saw the fire rising in Fengyi Palace, but they were relieved when they learned the true situation.
I was shocked and thought I was lost.
Unknowingly, time passed quickly, the sky had darkened, and the night breeze brought a chill.
"Grandpa, you have been traveling, do you feel tired from traveling? If you are tired, rest for a few days, and then we go to the ancestral graves." Xie Yao could vaguely see a few bloodshot eyes in her grandfather's eyes.
"No problem, let's set off early tomorrow morning." Old General Xie thought about the purpose of going to the ancestral graves, his old eyes deepened, "Have you ever told the emperor about our trip?"
"I told him that he can go whenever he wants. Now he is in the custody of my brother. If he wants to leave, he can leave at any time." Xie Yao told Chu Han early in the morning that he would take Emperor Zhaochu to the ancestral tomb.
Passed.
Old General Xie nodded slightly and glanced around, "The night dew is cold and cold, Yao'er, you can't stay outside for too long, let's go in."
"Okay." Xie Yao glanced at the half grilled fish left on her grandfather's hand and nodded.
Then, she let the others continue, and she and her grandfather went back inside.
"Grandpa, just say what you have to say. There is no one here." Xie Yao could see that her grandfather had not finished what he said.
General Xie's expression was a little gloomy. He glanced at Xie Yao, and his smile seemed to have a touch of bitterness, "Yao'er, after visiting the ancestral graves tomorrow, I will leave the capital."
Xie Yao was shocked when he heard this, "Grandpa, you..."
"Don't persuade me. Even if you threaten me with the child in your belly, I will definitely leave." General Xie's tone was very soft, but also firm and unshakable. "Those soldiers outside the city, I have already
They are all handed over to the civil and military forces. In addition to the people who were under his command before, they will all be handed over to the emperor's management in a few days."
Seeing her grandfather's firm eyes, Xie Yao felt sour in her heart.
She didn't know why her grandfather did this.
Thinking back to the beginning, Emperor Zhaochu repeatedly killed the General's Mansion, simply because the General's Mansion had great military exploits and great achievements, which made Emperor Zhaochu not trust him.
However, Chu Han was not Emperor Zhaochu.
"Grandpa, you don't have to be like this. He is different from Emperor Zhaochu." Xie Yao looked at Old General Xie sincerely, "You can stay. If you stay with your granddaughter, she can feel at ease!"
She knew that General Xie had decided to leave, so she directly used herself as a condition.
General Xie smiled steadily and waved his hand towards Xie Yao, "It's not that I don't believe in the emperor, but I'm tired. I've been a soldier all my life, and I don't want to spend the rest of my time here."
"Nowadays, Wanqi Country is surrounded by enemies on all sides. I really shouldn't leave, but now it is a world for young people. During this time, I have also found some talents that I can build, and I have given them to your brother to teach."
"If there is a war, they will be able to help."
"As for you..." General Xie suddenly paused here, his old eyes turned red, but he held back tears, "I am not lucky enough to see my great-grandson born with my own eyes. But don't worry, I
I will write to you as often as before."
"If one day I am in poor health, I will definitely come back and ask you to take care of me! You can't even think of escaping!"
Xie Yao also smiled, but with tears in her eyes.
She knew that there was no reason to keep her grandfather, and she should not use her own reasons to want to keep her grandfather.
"Okay, granddaughter, I promise you, you must not forget to write to me, otherwise you will not have grilled fish to eat when you come back." Xie Yao's feigned anger sounded like coquettishness.
"Okay, okay! I will definitely not forget to write a letter just for a bite of grilled fish." Old General Xie also smiled, his smile was relaxed, relieved, and suppressed into a little bit of worry.
With Chu Han and Xie Wenwu here, they will definitely take good care of Xie Yao.
The night passed quietly and smoothly, everyone was content, even the corners of their mouths were slightly curled up when they fell asleep.
…
The next day.
There are a few more clouds in the sky than yesterday, and a few more wisps of cool breeze.
Xie Yao asked someone to tell Chu Han about going to the ancestral grave, and then set off.
Last night, her grandfather and Xie Wenwu left the palace after having dinner, so she had to leave the palace to join her grandfather.
As for Emperor Zhaochu, Xie Wenwu had already ordered someone to take him into custody.
Xie Yao called Zi Qing, asked Wu Peiya to stay at Fengyi Palace, and then headed towards the palace gate.
Last night, she told her grandfather that King Pingxi wanted to accompany her, but her grandfather thought about it and chose to refuse.
She didn't ask why. Since her grandfather refused, she just didn't need to call him King Pingxi.
Not far out with Ziqing, he suddenly saw a group of people escorting a person forward.
Thinking it was Emperor Zhaochu, she walked in that direction, but when she walked in, she saw that the other person was not Emperor Zhaochu, but Chu Ye!
Chu Ye raised his eyes and happened to see Xie Yao.
