After Shan Quan left, Xie Yao saw Zi Qing and Wu Peiya preparing hot water for bathing, and called out, "Peiya, come here."
Wu Peiya thought that the princess wanted to see her for something, so she immediately put down what she was holding and walked over, "Princess, what do you want me to do?"
Xie Yao glanced at Wu Peiya and her expression softened, "Peiya, I have worked hard for you today."
Wu Peiya waved her hands quickly, "What did the princess say? I work as a maid for the princess, and these are the things I should do."
Xie Yao shook her head and did not continue the topic. She continued with a serious expression: "You should listen to me. After conveying the message to Wu Feng, you can go back to the Wu Mansion. You don't have to follow me into the palace."
"The situation in the palace is unclear now. If you continue to stay in the palace, you will definitely be implicated. For you, returning to Wu Mansion is a better choice."
When Wu Peiya heard this, her eyes immediately turned red, "Princess, do you want to drive me away?"
Seeing Wu Peiya's aggrieved look, Xie Yao suddenly couldn't bear it, but she still insisted: "There is an agreement between you and me. If you want to go back, I will let you go and won't stop you. Since you have entered
Palace, after seeing the attitude of the emperor and the queen towards this matter, I will know how to make a decision."
"I know, I've seen everything! But, I don't want to leave! I want to stay with the princess, advance and retreat together with the princess, and ask the princess to do it!" Wu Peiya bowed towards Xie Yao, her voice was firm, and she didn't want to get up for a long time.
Xie Yao looked at Wu Peiya's firm figure, and the tip of her nose was sore, "What are you doing? If you follow me, if you are not careful, you will be doomed. You will not be able to return to the Wu Mansion, or even follow Concubine Yi.
It’s safe and stable.”
"I don't want to be safe or stable. I just want to be able to stay with the princess, advance and retreat with the princess, and face all difficulties together!" Wu Peiya still bowed her body and finished speaking very fast in one breath, extremely decisive and tenacious.
.
Xie Yao felt uncomfortable hearing this. She couldn't bear to reject Wu Peiya's sincerity, so she could only nod, "Get up, I didn't ask you to leave. Since you don't want to leave, just stay with me."
Upon hearing this, Wu Peiya stood up straight. Although tears were still in her eyes, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Thank you, Princess! I will do my best to assist the Princess and get through this difficult time with the Princess!"
"
Thinking of the danger that Prince Han's Mansion will experience this time, Xie Yao's heart sank a little, and she changed the subject, "If Prince Han's Mansion is in trouble in the future, you must protect yourself wisely and must leave."
"Don't worry, Princess, there won't be such a day in Prince Han's Mansion!" Wu Peiya was very determined.
She believed in the princess, and she believed as well as the princess that King Han must still be alive! Even if there is little hope, King Han must still be alive!
Hearing Wu Peiya's decisive words, Xie Yao felt warm in her heart, "Okay."
Half an hour later, Xie Yao had just finished bathing and was eating when Old General Xie came.
When General Xie saw Xie Yao having a meal, his old face relaxed slightly.
Xie Yao can still eat, which proves that her mentality is good.
"Eat more, you have lost a lot of weight these days." General Xie sat down directly, with gentle concern on his face.
"It's okay. It's healthier to be thinner. If you are fat, you will be more likely to get sick." Xie Yao casually found an excuse to comfort her grandfather.
Then, she took a few more bites, then put down her chopsticks, "I'm full."
"Eat more! You eat too little!" General Xie said with a serious face.
He saw that there was a lot of food left in front of Xie Yao, and it was obvious that he had not eaten much.
Xie Yao shook his head and found another reason, saying: "I haven't eaten much in the past few days, and my appetite has been reduced a lot. If I suddenly eat more, I will feel uncomfortable."
General Xie glared at Xie Yao with feigned anger, but did not persuade her to eat. He asked seriously: "Have you entered the palace?"
"yes."
"How's it going?"
Xie Yao then roughly told what happened in the palace.
After listening to Old General Xie, the deep color in his old eyes became more and more intense, and his whole body was enveloped by an aura of silence.
After a moment, he slowly said, "I'm afraid this is just the beginning."
"Even the emperor has sent such a signal. Although you can leave the palace safely this time, more people will definitely be eyeing Prince Han's Mansion and eyeing you! The emperor's methods are in the open. You can still be careful, but there are
There are more people hiding in the dark, so you have to be more careful."
"The situation you, and Prince Han's Mansion, will face will be more severe, more tragic, and more unforgivable than now! If you are not careful in the slightest, you may be in danger."
"Are you ready for this?"
Xie Yao pursed her thin lips tightly, and her solemn eyes were calm, "Grandpa, don't worry, they can just let their horses come over!"
General Xie took a deep look at Xie Yao and nodded solemnly, "Okay, she is my granddaughter after all!"
Xie Yao's eyes softened slightly and she looked at her grandfather. Suddenly she found that the wrinkles on her grandfather's face seemed to be deeper than before, and his face looked much older. She suddenly felt a little sad in her heart.
In just a few months, her grandfather has changed so much, and what she will face next will only be more cruel and harsh than before, and she cannot let her grandfather continue to participate in it.
"Grandpa, didn't you say that you wanted to leave Beijing to visit your close friends? The weather has been nice recently, which is more suitable for traveling. You can go back and pack up, and you can set off at any time. I will go to you after I finish my work here.
Let's travel together." Xie Yao said with a normal expression, and in order to comfort her grandfather, she even squeezed out a smile at the corner of her mouth.
She had guessed before that once her grandfather left the capital, he might never come back, but she still proposed this.
Compared with her own reluctance, she hoped that her grandfather would not be involved in this whirlpool.
Old General Xie's face paused, thinking that he had left the capital to visit old friends and wanted to find out about Xie Wenwu. His eyes suddenly became much darker, and then quickly calmed down, shaking his head and refusing, "There is no need to visit old friends.
It’s just a matter of urgency. They have already lived for a long time, and there must be no problem if they live for a while longer.”
"And once I leave this time, I'm afraid I won't be back for a while. I haven't eaten enough of the roast chicken and fish you made. I'll wait until I have enough in a few days."
As he spoke the words, he thought silently in his heart: Civil and military, don't blame your grandfather for being partial. Yao'er is facing many difficulties now, and your grandfather can't just sit back and ignore it. If you are lucky enough to survive on the border, hide it well until your grandfather is done.
I'll leave it to you to find out what's going on here.
