After returning to Prince Han's Mansion, Xie Yao got off the carriage and walked in the direction of Fuyunxuan, looking a little depressed.
Ziqing followed behind and took the package back.
"What time is it?" Chu Han asked.
"It's already time to return to your lord," Wu Feng responded.
"Let the kitchen prepare dinner and deliver it to Fuyunxuan." Chu Han ordered in a deep voice, and then walked over.
Fuyunxuan.
The chef worked very quickly, and in no time the table was covered with food.
"Your Highness, please eat first, I have no appetite." Xie Yao said directly without even looking at it.
"Eat some. Otherwise, how can we come up with countermeasures if we don't have the strength?" Chu Han came over and persuaded softly.
Xie Yao was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Chu Han, "Thank you."
Chu Han was right. The worse the situation was, the more she should adjust herself and face it in the best possible condition instead of just being depressed.
After saying that, she got up, walked to the table, sat down, and started eating.
Chu Han felt a little relieved and sat down, "You are right. Now there is only an old general in the General's Mansion, and the burden on your shoulders is not light. So you must cheer up before you can think and go.
confrontation."
Xie Yao paused with her chopsticks and looked up, "What do you know, can you tell me?"
Chu Han's eyes moved slightly, and his expression froze unnaturally, "We haven't got accurate information yet, it's more just speculation."
"No accurate information?" Xie Yao repeated, frowning slightly.
"Yes." Chu Han nodded slowly, "There is no end to the road. As long as things are not conclusive, there must be hope."
She never liked to give up easily, but she was caught off guard by her grandfather's sudden change, and she didn't know the specific situation at all, so she felt unsure.
Indeed, everything can still turn around before things settle down!
"I know that even if it is for my grandfather, I will continue to persevere." The perseverance in her eyes gradually solidified and became indestructible.
Chu Han saw that Xie Yao's mental state had changed, and the corners of his mouth moved, revealing a gentle smile.
Xie Yao took a few more mouthfuls of food and thought, "Can you deliver a message to the front line?"
Chu Han's eyes darkened slightly, "Flying pigeons can send messages, as long as they don't get shot down."
"How long will it take?"
"About twelve hours."
"Okay, wait for me, I'll write a letter, and you can help me send it to the front line." Xie Yao immediately stood up and went to get pen and ink.
She accidentally watched Sun Tzu's Art of War once, and was amazed by Sun Bin's wisdom, so she wrote it down, which should be able to help her father and brother.
When she finished writing the letter and came out, she saw that Chu Han was already holding a carrier pigeon in his hand.
"Without further delay, please give me the letter. This homing pigeon is in the best condition and can fly faster." Chu Han stretched out his hand toward Xie Yao.
Xie Yao handed over the letter.
Chu Han loaded it up directly and released the homing pigeon.
Xie Yao's calm eyes followed the homing pigeon flying far away, it should be too late...
…
The next day, Eunuch Liu came to Prince Han's Mansion early in the morning.
"I have met His Royal Highness King Han." Eunuch Liu walked into the study with a smile on his face, "Please prepare His Highness King Han and Princess Han. The Emperor summons you and Princess Han to enter the palace immediately."
Chu Han looked away from the military affairs in front of him and glanced at Eunuch Liu, "Eunuch Liu, please sit down for a moment. Wu Feng, go inform the princess and ask her to prepare and go into the palace with me to see my father."
"Yes." Wu Feng's voice came from outside.
Chu Han sat still and continued to deal with military affairs.
"Your Highness, Prince Han, please hurry up. The Emperor has summoned you for urgent matters. If the delay lasts too long, I'm afraid Long Yan will be displeased." Eunuch Liu glanced at the pile of official documents on Prince Han's desk.
"Eunuch Liu, please be patient. I can leave at any time, but the princess is a woman, so it will inevitably take more time. This is human nature, and I believe my father will understand." Chu Han's eyes were light and he did not get up.
meaning.
Fu Yunxuan and Xie Yao were slightly confused after receiving the news from Wu Feng.
Emperor Zhaochu summoned her and Chu Han at the same time?
The last time they were summoned at the same time, it seemed to be about the marriage. What was it about this time?
Emperor Zhaochu must have also gotten the news that his grandfather and Chu Han got. Would he be impatient to put pressure on the general's mansion now?
Or is there another purpose?
She thought for a moment, then retracted her thoughts and went to get ready.
A quarter of an hour later, she came to the study and set off with Chu Han.
On the carriage, Xie Yao's previous guesses appeared in her mind again, and her eyes narrowed.
If Emperor Zhaochu exerts pressure, she will speak out about her resignation and make her position clear.
She knew very well that her power was temporarily unable to confront the imperial power, but that didn't mean she could only sit back and wait for death.
"Don't worry," Chu Han saw the worry on Xie Yao's face and said softly, "Today you are just a foil, my father is here for my king's sake."
Xie Yao was slightly confused, "Looking for you? Are you so sure?"
Chu Han smiled and said, "Compared with your understanding of my father, you are not as good as me."
Xie Yao pursed her lips and said, "I hope so."
After entering the palace, the two of them went directly to the Imperial Study Room to pay their respects to Emperor Zhaochu.
"Let's all get back together." Emperor Zhaochu's voice was low and his face was expressionless, looking profound and unpredictable.
"Thank you, Father." Chu Han and Xie Yao stood up straight, but neither of them spoke actively.
"Did you sleep well last night?" Emperor Zhaochu asked for no reason.
Xie Yao's eyebrows moved in confusion.
"Back to my father, I slept peacefully." Chu Han responded solemnly.
"However, my sleep was not stable." Emperor Zhaochu seemed to be doing Tai Chi, and what he said was very confusing.
"I wonder why my father is worried about something? I am willing to help my father solve his problems." Chu Han said slowly.
Emperor Zhaochu glanced at Xie Yao with deep meaning in his eyes, "I have been sent to the front line eight hundred miles away to hurry up and say that General Xie Lian was besieged by the enemy and failed to break out many times. He is now in danger! I intend to send reinforcements to rescue, but the water is far away.
Not nearly thirsty."
Having said this, Emperor Zhaochu stopped and looked at Chu Han.
Chu Han suddenly fell silent at this moment, unlike before, he was not answering as fluently as before.
When Xie Yao heard the news from Emperor Zhaochu, her heart sank. Her father and brother were indeed in danger!
But, are they just being besieged by enemy troops? Such news will make my grandfather’s attitude change drastically?
…
At the same time that Chu Han and Xie Yao entered the palace, Hong Ye was carried out of Zhongyong Hou Mansion in a sedan chair and went straight to the post station.
On the sedan chair, Hong Ye was wearing a dazzling red coat embroidered with patterns of dragons and phoenixes, which made the snow-white gauze on his chest more vivid.
Coupled with the fact that he was recovering from a serious injury, he didn't need to be too careful to show some signs of illness.
As the sedan chair moved forward, it attracted many people to watch.
Some people knew Hong Ye's character and knew something was going to happen, so they all followed him all the way.
By the time the sedan arrived outside Princess Minghui's residence, there were already hundreds of spectators following behind.
"Princess Minghui, this prince is here to see you again." Hong Ye raised his head and glanced upstairs, shouting in a loud voice.
The spectators immediately started talking, "It turns out that Crown Prince Hong has fallen in love with Princess Minghui again! I heard that Princess Minghui is not from Wanqi country!"
"So what! Prince Hong has come here injured. It seems like this is not his first time here, which shows his sincerity!"
"Sincerity is of no use! There were so many women in the past, which one was Prince Hong not sincere to? Which one became successful?"
"Stop arguing, look, that person should be Princess Minghui!"
Everyone immediately raised their heads and looked at the person next to the window.
Ruobing came over to close the window, and when he saw all the people below looking over, he was so frightened that he quickly closed the window.
"Princess, that Hong Ye went too far. He actually said that in public! Do you want me to go down and warn him?" Ruobing frowned.
Hong Ye is shameless, but the princess still wants it!
"Ignore it, let him go." Princess Minghui held a book in her hand and spoke calmly.
Outside, Hong Ye saw that the window was closed, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly, "Princess Minghui, I came here injured just to see you. Are you so cruel that you have to close the window?"
"I don't ask you to come down to see me, I would like you to at least take a look at you!"
