"My brother?" Xie Yao was very surprised after hearing her grandfather's answer, "Why doesn't my brother want to get married? He's not..."
She wanted to say, hadn't Xie Wenwu discovered his feelings for Xiaodie? Xiaodie had just come back from the dead, so why did he suddenly not want to get married?
"He didn't say anything! If you want to know, ask him yourself!" General Xie was a little angry when he mentioned Xie Wenwu.
Xie Yao was even more confused.
Didn't even tell my grandfather? What on earth is Xie Wenwu going to do?
"Okay, I'll ask him directly later!"
After a while, the carriage arrived at the general's mansion. Xie Yao got off the carriage and went directly into the mansion to find Xie Wenwu.
As a result, they learned that Xie Wenwu had not returned yet.
"Not back yet?" Xie Yao raised her eyebrows unexpectedly.
Her killing of Emperor Miao in the palace has come to an end. Xie Wenwu was only responsible for destroying those who stole Emperor Miao's body, and Chu Yi'er had already absorbed all the energy. Logically speaking, Xie Wenwu should have
I'm home!
"Replying to the queen, General Xie sent someone back to tell you that he will be back later." The servants in the mansion replied respectfully.
"Did he say why he came back late?" Xie Yao asked.
"General Xie didn't say anything. He just said there was no need to prepare his dinner."
Xie Yao waved away the servants, her eyes slightly condensed.
You didn't even come back for dinner, why are you so busy?
It seems that Xie Wenwu should have already known the news of Emperor Miao's elimination, so he was not in a hurry to come back.
But, is he hiding something?
What does he have to hide from?
Just as I was thinking about it, a person walked over, it was Xiao Xi.
"I've met the Queen." Xiao Xi stepped forward and saluted.
"No need to be polite." When Xie Yao saw Xiao Xi, she put away the seriousness in her eyes and smiled, "Your complexion looks much better than before."
She said casually, but not politely. Xiao Xi's whole person did look much better than before.
Before, Xiao Xi had always lowered her head, was a little afraid to look at people, and was very taciturn. She would hide away from people when she met them, and almost never take the initiative to say hello to people.
Now, Xiao Xi not only took the initiative to come over and salute, but there was also a touch of calmness and naturalness between her eyebrows that was not there before.
"Thank you to the Queen! If it hadn't been for the Queen's words, I'm afraid I would still be shrouded in shadow and unable to escape." Xiao Xi replied, with a faint smile that was hard to detect at the corner of her mouth.
What happened in the past is the darkness in her heart and the pain that she can never get rid of!
However, Xie Yao's words helped her understand control and how to get out.
The past won't disappear, but she can let it go.
"It's your own idea, I just said a few words." Xie Yao said, seeing the light in Xiao Xi's eyes, she became even more sure that the reason for not getting married was Xie Wenwu, not Xiao Xi. "I
Brother, how are you doing lately?"
"General Xie? He has been very good recently, but he has been a little busy." Xiao Xi was slightly startled. Didn't Xie Yao often see Xie Wenwu, why would he ask her?
Xie Yao nodded, "When Dong Aoguo came recently, he was responsible for the reception. He was really busy."
She raised her head and glanced at the darkening sky. It was time for her to return to the palace.
"When I see my grandfather later, tell me that I am going back to the palace first and will come see him another day," Xie Yao said.
Chu Han had just woken up and it had been a long time since he had dinner with him.
"Yes." Xiao Xi responded.
Xie Yao turned around and left. Since Xie Wenwu was not here, she would let Xie Wenwu enter the palace directly tomorrow.
Marriage events must be arranged as early as possible!
Looking at Xie Yao's back as he left quickly, the light in Xiao Xi's eyes was still there, but there was a touch of deep worry.
Regarding her various experiences in Miao territory, she could hide it from anyone, but she did not want to hide it from Xie Wenwu.
Therefore, a few days ago, after she figured it out, she made it clear to Xie Wenwu.
In the past few days, Xie Wenwu left early and returned late, spending very little time in the mansion, and she noticed it. Although she knew that Xie Wenwu was busy receiving envoys from the Dong Ao Kingdom, she still couldn't help but feel worried.
…
Early the next morning.
After Xie Yao had breakfast, he ordered someone to invite Xie Wenwu.
She has to figure things out!
After a while, Ziqing came in from outside, holding a pot of hot tea in her hand, "Mother, have you heard? There was a strange phenomenon in the palace last night."
I don't know since when, Ziqing has been a source of information in Fengyi Palace, and it mainly comes from the palace people.
"Yeah." Xie Yao heard all kinds of news from Zi Qing almost every day, picked up a cup of tea and took a sip.
Ziqing continued with great interest: "Some palace people said that they saw the entrance to the Gate of Hell in the palace last night. Madam, do you think there is really a Gate to Hell?"
"Is the appearance of the Gate of Hell in the palace a bad omen?" Ziqing suddenly felt worried.
The matter with Emperor Miao has just been settled, please don't let anything happen again! The emperor and the queen have been experiencing hardships all the way. She very much hopes that the emperor and the queen can be stable in the future!
Xie Yao gave Zi Qing a funny look, "Where is the gate to hell? You hear a lot of strange news every day, but you never believe it. Why do you believe it today?"
"Your Majesty, I can't help but believe it! The key is that many people in the palace said so, and there were nearly ten people who saw it with my own eyes!" Zi Qing became more and more worried.
"It's just a coincidence." Xie Yao never believed in any heaven and hell. Those are just things people imagined to comfort themselves. "It's dark late at night and you can't see clearly. If you don't believe it, if you go out for a walk tonight, you will definitely...
You can see several 'gates of hell' that are so invisible that you can't even see them."
"I'm not going! I'm not going!" The scene appeared in Ziqing's mind, and she waved her hands in fear.
She was not afraid of the dark, but after hearing those rumors, she felt terrified.
Xie Yao smiled when he saw this, "Are you afraid sometimes?"
"Mother, you are laughing at me." Ziqing suddenly felt embarrassed and stomped her feet.
At this time, someone from the palace came in and reported, "Madam, General Xie is here."
"Let him come in." Xie Yao immediately ordered.
"yes."
Seeing that Xie Yao's expression was a little serious, Zi Qing said something and left.
Soon, Xie Wenwu stepped in from outside and said as he walked, "Sister, I heard that Emperor Miao was completely buried here yesterday. How are you? Are you injured?"
Xie Yao had a stern look on her face, "You know you care about me now? I went back to the General's Mansion yesterday just to tell you that I'm fine, don't worry, but you didn't even come back for dinner."
"...Cough! Cough!" Xie Wenwu realized something was wrong and coughed twice in embarrassment, "Tens of thousands of people were killed last night. So many corpses still need to be dealt with, and the blood stains on the ground also need to be dealt with. I still have to lead the troops back to the camp.
, so it was delayed a bit.”
Xie Yao didn't believe it at all. That matter could be left to his subordinates. "Why don't you want to marry Xiao Xi?"
