Li Li just happened to come in. When he saw this scene, he wanted to call out to Xie Yao who was walking away quickly, but was stopped by General Xie.
"Let her go. Her thoughts have been on that matter for the past two days. She will never be willing to do it until it is clarified." Old General Xie waved his hand and continued to eat.
"But..." Li Li looked at the dining table at a loss.
In order to appear more lively, he resisted the pressure from the old general and specially cooked a few more dishes. Even if the old general ate by himself, he would not be too quiet.
Unexpectedly, the Queen is really here, getting the best of both worlds!
He had just ordered the chef to add two more dishes, and when he came back, he saw the Queen leaving again.
this……
There was nothing at first, but as the Queen came and went, the table seemed even more deserted.
"Nothing to worry about, let's eat." General Xie picked up his chopsticks and continued eating, his expression as usual.
"Yes." Mo Li didn't dare to say anything, so he quickly went out again and went straight to the kitchen.
He wanted to cancel the extra dishes, otherwise the old general would never let him go.
After Mo Li left, General Xie paused with the chopsticks in his hand, glanced at the food on the table, and sighed, it was tasteless.
Now that he is old, he can no longer be of any help. He just wants not to drag down Xie Yao.
…
On the other side, Xie Yao left the General's Mansion and rushed back to Fengyi Palace in the shortest possible time.
Along the way, she has been wondering what is there in her body that can make the Gate of Hell discover her!
Because she did not see the complete Gate of Hell, the Gate of Hell could not see her.
The reason why she can be detected is most likely through smell or breath.
So that night, she, who had said she would rest tonight, left Fengyi Palace alone.
Previously, the target was too big and conspicuous.
Since she wanted to be caught off guard, she had to act alone.
She pretended to be a palace maid and walked in another area where the gates of hell appeared frequently.
In order to cover up the smell and smell, she even got her least favorite rouge powder and rubbed it on her body.
And if there was any slight disturbance, she would immediately hold her breath to prevent any breath from leaking out.
In this way, she waited until dawn without seeing the slightest shadow of the Gate of Hell.
In fact, not only here, but also in the entire palace, the Gate of Hell did not appear all night long!
This is the first time I've been 'off duty' since I emerged from the Gate of Hell.
Xie Yao only found out the news after she returned. She raised her eyebrows and went to bed directly.
This was a serious night of not sleeping, and I slept straight into the afternoon.
When she woke up, Xie Yao was a little surprised when she saw that it was getting dark outside.
It seemed like he had stayed up for several nights in a row.
Even after sleeping for so long, I still feel tired and have a headache.
As soon as she walked out of the dormitory, Wu Peiya immediately responded, "Madam, you're awake, please drink a bowl of ginseng soup."
Wu Peiya actually held a bowl of ginseng soup in her hand, as if she had been waiting here for Xie Yao to come out.
Xie Yao took a look and saw that the ginseng soup was still hot, and asked, "Have you been guarding outside?"
"No. The emperor asked Dr. Su that you would wake up around this time, so the emperor asked someone to make ginseng soup. I didn't expect you to wake up at this time!" Wu Peiya explained.
Xie Yao nodded, took the ginseng soup, and drank it slowly.
"When did the Emperor come?"
"At noon, I said I planned to have lunch with you, but when I saw you were still asleep, I left. However, the emperor has given an order and I will come over for dinner in the evening," Wu Peiya said.
"Well, let's stick to the old rules and let others prepare." Xie Yao said as she walked forward.
After I went out for a walk, my headache seemed to be relieved a little.
"Empress, there is one more thing." Wu Peiya followed.
"What's up?"
"Prince Hong and Miss Wang are about to get married, and the date is set for ten days."
"So urgent? Did anyone from the Zhongyong Hou Mansion say anything?" Xie Yao was slightly surprised.
Whether it is Zhongyong Hou or Wang Jijiu, they are all people who pay great attention to etiquette and know the auspicious days of the zodiac very well.
She always thought that Hong Ye's wedding date would be set a month or two in advance, but it turned out that it was only ten days.
"No. The people came, sent the wedding invitations and left without saying a single extra word. But..." Wu Peiya hesitated to speak.
"But what?"
"I heard rumors that something happened to Wang Jijiu, and it seems that he has not been in court for a while. As for whether it is true or not, I don't know."
"Wang Jijiu?" Xie Yao raised her eyebrows.
The Imperial College has existed for many years and has already taken shape. It has its own set of operating modes, so Wang Jijiu doesn't have to worry about it. Moreover, I haven't heard of any problems with the Imperial College. Could it be because of something else?
After thinking about it for a moment, she retracted her thoughts.
Wang Jiarong and Hong Ye will take care of the matter of Wang Jiujiu, so she doesn't need to worry about it.
What she is thinking about now is when will the Gate of Hell appear again.
"Yao'er, what are you thinking about, so absorbed?" Chu Han appeared behind Xie Yao at some point, his voice soft.
Xie Yao came back to her senses, smiled and shook her head, "It's nothing. I slept for too long and I have a headache. Let's go out for a walk."
Upon hearing this, Chu Han immediately ordered Wu Peiya, "Xiaoya, go and invite Doctor Su."
"Yes." Wu Peiya took the order.
"Don't worry, I just slept for a long time, that's why I have a headache." Xie Yao explained with a smile.
But Chu Han's face was straight and his expression was quite serious, "I don't care about your investigation of the Gate of Hell, but you can't be exhausted. You haven't slept well for several nights, and you sneaked out alone last night. This is terrible.
no!"
Xie Yao felt wronged and still felt guilty, so she said, "Don't worry, I won't be like this for a while."
"The Gate of Hell didn't appear last night, and it probably won't appear again within a few days. You don't have to worry about it and take a good rest." The seriousness on Chu Han's face disappeared instantly, as if it had never appeared before, and his expression was gentle and caring.
"By the way, Wenwu has found a place to stay. It's not far from the capital, but it can stay away from the hustle and bustle of the capital, and the scenery is nice." Chu Han then changed the subject.
"Having settled down? You sent people to protect them all the way?" Xie Yao's eyes lit up.
"After all, Wenwu has been a general for several years and has made many enemies. Although all the countries have surrendered, many of their relatives have died at the hands of Wenwu. The original snake hero wants to seek revenge from Wenwu. And there is one who is pregnant, so I will send someone
Pay more attention." Chu Han's rare explanation was only when facing Xie Yao.
"Just settle down." Xie Yao felt as if a stone had fallen to the ground, "After a while, Dr. Su may have to leave the capital for a while."
"Well, let's go." Chu Han didn't ask a word and nodded directly.
"Also, if there is any progress regarding the Gate of Hell, send someone to tell Wang Jijiu." Chu Han then added.
