"But Xie Wenwu's body seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. No matter how hard I searched, there was no news. Therefore, I suspect that Xie Wenwu did not die at all, but survived by chance."
Chu Han continued in a deep voice:
Upon hearing this, Xie Yao immediately raised her eyes to look at Chu Han, a light flashing in her eyes.
Chu Han turned his black eyes and looked over gently, "I know that you are concerned about Xie Wenwu's whereabouts. If you were in my place, I would not sit idly by and watch. But you have to believe in me, no matter what
We can all face things together and solve them together."
"You don't need to handle all the things and pressures alone. You are my king's princess, not a lone ranger!"
Xie Yao's heart trembled slightly as she looked at Chu Han's sincere eyes.
Face it together?
She didn't expect these four words to come out of Chu Han's mouth.
They have faced many things together during this period, and they have gone from tit-for-tat at first to allies who can advance and retreat together.
In fact, she is not an idiot and can sense his feelings for her.
It’s just that she knows his identity, and what she wants is for the two of them to be dependent on each other for life and death and grow old together. She always thought that he couldn’t give her such a promise, so she wanted to divorce him while they had good feelings for each other.
As a result he...
Chu Han saw Xie Yao's hesitant look, and then said softly: "Xie Yao, I won't force you. Whether you choose to believe me or not is your right. I will give you time to think about it! But I know my own rights.
My heart, Xie Yao, I recognize you in this life, you have entered my heart."
After he finished speaking, he looked at her deeply and walked out. She needed some time to digest what he just said.
Xie Yao looked at the closed door for a long time, then lowered her eyes and fell into deep thought.
Can she trust him?
…
The next day.
It was cloudy early in the morning, which made people feel a little dull.
Eunuch Ma, who was beside the Crown Princess, left the palace early in the morning and came directly to Prince Han's Mansion.
"Princess, Eunuch Ma wants to see you." A servant came to Fu Yunxuan to report.
"Let him come over." Xie Yao said calmly.
"yes."
Soon, Eunuch Ma came to Fuyunxuan and saw Xie Yao saluting with a cold expression, "Princess Han, the Crown Princess invites you to enter the palace. Please prepare as soon as possible and don't delay for too long."
"Go and wait outside while I change clothes." Xie Yao said calmly.
Eunuch Ma turned around and went out.
Wu Peiya looked at Eunuch Ma's back and frowned secretly, "Princess, are the people around the Crown Princess also so arrogant?"
She had not been in the palace many times, and had seen many servants who flattered her and disdained her, but she did not expect that even the people around the Crown Princess were like this.
"They are all human beings. They think they have seen a lot, have a broad view, and know the situation very well. So they talk about people and ghosts, and they are no different from other people in the palace." Xie Yao didn't take it seriously.
Eunuch Ma is like this, which shows that the Crown Princess's attitude towards her now is not very good either.
Wu Peiya thought about it and found that it was indeed the case.
Xie Yao finished changing her clothes and walked out, "Eunuch Ma, let's go."
Eunuch Ma glanced at Xie Yao, turned around and walked in front, "Princess Han, please follow me."
Xie Yao left the palace, got on the carriage in the palace, and went straight to the palace.
There was no words all the way. When they arrived at Yonghua Palace, Eunuch Ma quickly went in to report. When he came out, he made an invitation gesture towards Xie Yao, which seemed more respectful, "Princess Han, the Crown Princess has invited you."
Xie Yao walked into Yonghua Palace, came to the front of the imperial concubine, and saluted from a distance, "My granddaughter-in-law has met the imperial grandmother and wishes to greet her."
"Get on your feet." The Crown Princess glanced at Xie Yao, her eyes full of kindness, but not reaching her eyes, "Stand over, you don't have to be so far away."
"Yes." Seeing that the Crown Princess was pretending to be kind, Xie Yao came to the Crown Princess's side calmly.
There must be monsters when things happen, and the Crown Princess will not pretend to be kind to her for no reason.
The Crown Princess looked at you with concern first, and then said kindly, "You seem a little haggard, I guess you are tired these days. Without Shangguan Yue to help you with the matters in the house, you can only handle them alone.
"
"Thank you, Grandma Imperial, for remembering me. Your Majesty has already sent someone to share the burden for me. I won't be tired." Xie Yao smiled politely, with the manners of a princess.
The Crown Princess deliberately darkened her face, "How can I let Lao Wu worry about the matters in the backyard? Since you are the matron of the house, you should naturally be in charge of these things. But if you are the only one, it is indeed difficult to control the situation.
"
"The Ai family heard that the emperor gave Lao Wu an imperial edict to marry him, so that he wouldn't have to worry about the matters in the backyard of Prince Han's Mansion. However, Lao Wu resisted fiercely. Do you know the reason?"
Xie Yao knew in her heart that the imperial concubine was actually there for the purpose of granting a marriage.
"Back to the royal grandmother, my grandson's daughter-in-law doesn't know why the prince refused." She also had a sad look on her face.
She can also act.
"You don't know?" The Crown Princess' tone was a little low, as if she was questioning.
"My grandson daughter-in-law really doesn't know. At that time, Eunuch Liu came to Prince Han's Mansion to announce the edict, and Prince Han and I received the edict together. After the edict was read out, Prince Han rode directly into the palace, and I didn't even have time to say a word to Prince Han.
Eunuch Liu can testify." Xie Yao's words were reasonable and well-founded.
The Crown Princess looked at Xie Yao carefully and said in a deep voice: "The Ai family doesn't care whether you really don't know or not. The Ai family called you here today to persuade the fifth child to accept the marriage offer.
Stop resisting."
"Today is different from the past. Lao Wu must agree to this marriage offer no matter what, and must not disobey it."
"Yes, my granddaughter-in-law understands." Xie Yao agreed without hesitation.
The Crown Princess was a little surprised. Everyone knew that the fifth daughter-in-law was jealous and had bad deeds.
She looked at Xie Yao seriously, wanting to know if Xie Yao would really persuade Chu Han, but after watching for a moment, she didn't see anything from Xie Yao's face.
"The Ai family hopes that you have not deceived the Ai family. To this day, the Ai family feels that there are some things that need to be known to you. Since the death of Xie Lian and Xie Wenwu in the battle, the surrounding countries have been eyeing our Wanqi country, and now they have begun to test
Sex disrupts the frontier.”
"If we don't fight back immediately at this time, once the surrounding countries launch an attack, the consequences will be disastrous. The current plan is to let Lao Wu marry Princess Minghui and form an ally with Nanling Kingdom, which can act as a deterrent. So.
, you must persuade Lao Wu to accept the marriage, otherwise the emperor will have no choice but to send General Xie to the frontier."
Xie Yao's eyes suddenly darkened, the Crown Princess was threatening her with her grandfather!
The dark color in her eyes flashed away, and she nodded towards the Crown Princess with a normal expression, "I can only promise the Queen Mother that I will try my best to persuade King Han when I get back, but I can't guarantee that King Han will definitely agree."
"If it were true that King Han would listen to whatever I said, I'm afraid my father would also be unhappy."
When the Crown Princess saw Xie Yao using Emperor Zhaochu to suppress her, her face darkened with displeasure, "As long as you sincerely persuade me, Lao Wu will agree."
Xie Yao smiled and was noncommittal.
"Binglan, come here." The Crown Princess suddenly called behind her, and a woman in pink clothes walked out.
Xie Yao recognized it at a glance.
The Crown Princess was about to give Binglan to Chu Han as a concubine, and she had already sent her to Prince Han's Mansion, but she was kicked out by Chu Han again.
She thought the matter had come to an end, but she didn't expect that the Crown Princess didn't give up at all.
"Princess Han, you also know Binglan. Since you are not sure of successfully persuading Lao Wu, take Binglan back and persuade her together. She is a person close to the Ai family, so Lao Wu still has to give the Ai family a little bit of trouble."
After the Crown Princess finished speaking, without waiting for Xie Yao's response, she said directly to Binglan: "When you go to Prince Han's Mansion this time, don't rush back like last time. Stay in Prince Han's Mansion for a few days before talking. The Ai family will let you know
People came to visit you."
Xie Yao's lips sank slightly, "Emperor Grandma, I'm afraid this is inappropriate."
