Xie Yao's thoughts have been far away since she entered the palace. She knows that Concubine Jing doesn't like her without even thinking about it. There is no need for her to be hot-tempered and cold-hearted. She might as well think about the antidote.
Although I had gone out to purchase a lot before and the required raw materials were basically ready, I was still missing a precious medicinal material, triphenyl grass.
The clover is only as long as an adult's finger and is divided into three sections like a finger. The strange thing is that each section has a different color.
In Wanqi Country, Trichosanthes sibiricum is relatively rare and is usually not sold on the market. It is usually given as a gift. There may be some in the palace's warehouse, but Chu Han will definitely not give it to her.
She has already sent the news back to the General's Mansion, hoping that there are shamrocks in the General's Mansion's warehouse.
"Isn't that King Han? Why are there two people behind him? One of them seems to be Princess Han?" A palace maid passed by from a distance and glanced here, a little strange.
Not only the people in the capital knew that Chu Han hated Xie Yao, but also the palace people knew it.
"Of course it's Princess Han. The emperor is hosting a banquet today, and people from the general's palace will definitely be present." The palace maid next to her said with a clear look on her face.
"You're right! At this time, King Han still has to give face to the General's Mansion."
"Shh! Don't talk nonsense, or you may get killed!"
The two palace maids left quickly and far away, as if they had never appeared.
Chu Han's black eyes darkened a lot, the coldness in his body disappeared, and his steps became a little faster.
Xie Yao also heard the discussion of the two palace maids, raised her eyebrows, and quickly followed.
Shangguan Yue secretly sneered, and began to feel that bringing Xie Yao into the palace this time might not be a bad thing. When Xie Yao loses face in front of the royal family and ministers, Chu Han will definitely hate Xie Yao even more.
The three of them had their own thoughts and soon arrived at Concubine Jing's palace. After passing the call, they entered the palace to pay their respects to Concubine Jing.
"My son, I wish to express my regards to my mother and concubine." Chu Han saluted as soon as he came in.
"My daughter-in-law greets my mother and concubine." Xie Yao and Shangguan Yue also followed suit.
Sitting at the head of the table was a woman, wearing a Guangling Yuehua dress with a water-red strand of gold and a rose pattern, and an emerald dragon and phoenix hairpin on her head. Although she was middle-aged, she didn't look old at all, she just looked a little older.
The pressure from superiors.
"Get back on your feet quickly." Concubine Jing looked at Chu Han with a smile on her face with satisfaction. Then her eyes moved slightly. When she saw Xie Yao, the smile on her lips disappeared instantly and was replaced by an icy coolness. After seeing Shangguan Yue, her expression returned.
As before.
"Yue'er, it's been a long time since you entered the palace to pay my respects to me. Come quickly and let me have a look." Concubine Jing smiled and waved to Shangguan Yue.
Shangguan Yue naturally went over immediately and glanced at Xie Yao before leaving.
"It's Yue'er who was negligent, please ask mother and concubine to punish her." Shangguan Yue said Fu Shen was very sensible.
"It's okay, you just got married, so you naturally want to stay with Han'er when you have time." Concubine Jing was very considerate, and looked at her son, whom she had always been proud of, and nodded with a smile.
Chu Han also smiled, and suddenly a thought flashed through his mind. He looked at Xie Yao and found that she had a calm look on her face. She didn't care at all about how her mother-in-law was getting close to Shangguan Yue. He suddenly thought of her recent resistance to him. Could it be that she was really against him?
Unintentional? Suddenly, his expression darkened.
"Thank you for your understanding, concubine. When Yue'er has time, she will come to the palace often to chat with her." Shangguan Yue was blessed again and was very well-behaved.
"Okay, he is indeed a sensible person. Han'er did not choose the wrong person." Concubine Jing smiled and seemed to be in a good mood.
Shangguan Yue felt happy when she heard this. She glanced at Xie Yao, who was still standing in the distance and no one cared about her, and sneered secretly.
Even Concubine Jing recognized her as her daughter-in-law, and Xie Yao was just relying on the power of the General's Mansion.
Xie Yao felt Shangguan Yue's provocative eyes and just raised her eyebrows lightly, too lazy to give any more response.
She didn't feel embarrassed at all in the surrounding atmosphere, and she didn't intend to stay with Chu Han forever anyway.
When the divorce letter comes, she and Chu Han will be strangers, let alone a concubine.
Shangguan Yue was a little surprised when she saw that Xie Yao didn't seem to have any reaction. She just thought that Xie Yao was trying to support her.
After a while, Concubine Jing was also a little tired. She glanced at Xie Yao coldly and saw that she was still observing etiquette. She did not talk nonsense in front of her, nor did she show any disrespect because she only showed kindness to Shangguan Yue.
Satisfied.
"I'm going to change my clothes. You guys can go there first." Concubine Jing waved her hand and said.
"Yes." The three of them responded.
When leaving, Shangguan Yue took the initiative and walked to the position alongside Chu Han, while Xie Yao fell behind.
Xie Yao didn't care where she was walking. If she wasn't familiar with the way to the palace, it wouldn't matter if she just took the first step.
The three of them walked forward, and there were more and more people as they walked, and soon they arrived at the banquet place.
It was still some time before the banquet started, but many people had already arrived.
Xie Yao looked around boredly and happened to see Xie Wenwu. After thinking about it, he walked over.
At this moment, Xie Wenwu, who is dressed in official uniform, finally looks a bit like a general, but if you look at his back, he still looks a bit like a scholar. Although Xie Wenwu is a military general, his favorite clothes are very simple and revealing.
Bookish.
When Xie Wenwu saw Xie Yao, before he could raise his lips, he saw Shangguan Yue and sank directly, "Can a concubine be worthy enough to attend the banquet?"
Xie Yao raised her hand and waved it in front of Xie Wenwu's eyes, drawing attention to herself, "I have something to tell you."
Xie Wenwu lowered his eyes, hiding his anger, and looked at Xie Yao seriously, "What's the matter?"
"Have you received the news I sent back? Is there any triphin grass in the General's Mansion?" Xie Yao was eager to know the news. If there was, he could start preparing the antidote immediately.
Xie Wenwu shook his head, "If we had told you two days earlier, there would have been a triphenicon in the house. Two days ago, that tripod had been handed over to the state treasury."
Seeing Xie Yao frowning, Xie Wenwu patted his shoulder again and said comfortingly: "You don't have to worry, I have sent people to look for it. If it is found, it will be sent to the general's mansion immediately. You can do other things first."
Xie Yao could only nod, "As soon as possible, you can prepare the antidote once you find the triphenyl grass."
Xie Wenwu was unexpectedly startled, a little unbelievable, "Is it just missing the shamrock?"
Xie Yao nodded again. It was only when she took inventory of the medicinal materials that she found that all the medicinal materials were available, except for the sulfin.
Xie Wenwu looked Xie Yao up and down in admiration and gave a thumbs up, "My sister is still awesome! She deserves to be my sister!"
Xie Yao smiled, looked over his shoulder, and warned: "Don't drink for a while. If you must drink, drink less. It is not good for wound healing."
Seeing Xie Wenwu's unconcerned look, she solemnly said: "Your injury must heal as soon as possible, don't hold back the general's government!"
Xie Wenwu understood what Xie Yao meant, put away his smile, and nodded solemnly.
The storm may come at any time, and he must be in the best condition to welcome it.
Not far away, Chu Han kept looking at their brother and sister chatting with a cold face. He didn't notice at all that since entering the palace, his eyes could not help but be fixed on Xie Yao.
