"Miss." After the maid helped Chen Jiayi tidy up her appearance, she said, "I can't enter the palace, so please send the lady here. I will wait here until the lady comes out."
Chen Jiayi didn't hear what the maid said and stared at Xie Yao jealously, wishing she could step forward to squeeze out Xie Yao now and let her accompany Chu Han!
Xie Yao's only advantage is that she has a good skin, which is of no use!
If you want to please a man, it’s no use just being good-looking, you have to be considerate! Only if you are considerate to him, will a man be reluctant to leave you and dote on him!
In terms of consideration, she is countless times better than that arrogant and domineering woman!
Moreover, her marriage to Chu Han is an inevitable trend, and no one can stop it!
Neither can Xie Yao!
As long as she marries into Prince Han's palace and lets Chu Han know how good she is, he will definitely abandon Xie Yao and favor her alone.
Xie Yao will soon become old and lose her beauty, but she is still in her prime!
Not to mention Chu Han's favor, even Xie Yao, the official concubine, will not be able to hold the position for long, and it will soon change hands and become hers!
Thinking of this, her mood became better and better, as if everything was a foregone conclusion!
"Miss?" the maid called again.
Chen Jiayi came to her senses, a little dissatisfied with having her good things interrupted, "What's the matter?"
The maid was stunned. Is the lady angry?
She didn't do anything wrong?
"You, it's time for you to enter the palace. The slave girl will be here waiting for the young lady to come out. If the young lady has anything to do, just order someone to come out of the palace and give orders to the slave girl." The maid hurriedly bowed.
"What do you need to say? That's a long way to go." Chen Jiayi waved her hand impatiently, then turned and walked towards the palace gate.
On the other side, Xie Yao noticed Chen Jiayi's gaze and looked back sideways, feeling a little strange.
Who is this person?
Why are you looking at her with such a strange look?
She was very sure that she had never met the other party, let alone had any interaction with him.
"What's wrong?" Chu Han noticed that Xie Yao was absent-minded and asked softly.
Xie Yao shook her head and smiled, "It's nothing."
Wu Peiya had been following the princess. When she saw the princess looking away, she followed her gaze.
She saw a trace of doubt in the princess's eyes, and said directly: "The princess may have never seen her. Her name is Chen Jiayi, and her father is the Minister of the Ministry of Finance. She is usually arrogant and does not care about anyone. She secretly ignores the friends around her.
There are even fewer of them.”
"She only makes friends with young gentlemen who have status and status, and they must have extraordinary status. She won't even take a look at the children of ordinary officials."
After hearing Wu Peiya's analysis, Xie Yao smiled and joked: "How come you know so well? Have you checked her?"
Wu Peiya shook her head, "She is not worthy of my investigation. I only met her once occasionally. She didn't know about my relationship with my aunt, so she didn't even look at me. She looked above her head! But later she found out about my aunt.
After becoming Concubine Yi, she not only took the initiative to talk to me, but also gave me gifts."
"I didn't pay any attention to her, didn't confiscate her things, and just left."
Xie Yao laughed, looking at Wu Peiya's serious statement, the disgust in her eyes was not concealed at all.
When she was about to say something, she noticed that the palace attendant had already walked over and signaled Wu Peiya to stop the topic.
Wu Peiya also saw the palace attendant and immediately stopped talking.
Soon, the three of them entered the palace and walked to the fork in the road. Xie Yao told Wu Peiya: "Go find Concubine Yi. After talking to Concubine Yi, just leave the palace and go back to the house."
"Yes, Princess. Your Majesty, Princess, I take my leave." Wu Peiya bowed and bowed, then stepped back and left.
"Go." Chu Han said, and then looked at Xie Yao with his dark eyes, "Princess, let's go too."
"Okay." Xie Yao prolonged her voice, smiled at Chu Han, and continued walking side by side.
…
frontier.
As time passed day after day, the city was still overcrowded, and even the frequency of opening the city gates became less and less.
Still in that small room, the old man with white hair and beard held a bowl of medicine in his hand and fed the unconscious Xie Wenwu spoonful by spoonful.
After feeding a whole bowl of medicine, he held the empty bowl in his hand and stood still.
A pair of eyes stared at Xie Wenwu, as if expecting something.
After a long silence, seeing that Xie Wenwu didn't see any change, his gray eyebrows wrinkled and he murmured to himself: "Strange! Why doesn't it work? You should wake up! Could it be that the proportion of medicinal ingredients is wrong?"
The old man finished speaking to himself, and then went to look for the medicine residue.
He originally didn't want to wake up this unknown person by taking medicine, but last time the other party mentioned the capital and the general's mansion, the doubts in his mind lingered and he had to figure it out!
While he was rummaging around, a weak voice suddenly came from him, "Senior...Senior."
The old man immediately stood up straight and saw that although the face of the person on the bed was still as pale as paper and bloodless, his eyes had been opened and he was somewhat energetic.
He said that the prescription should be effective and there was no way there would be no reaction after drinking it.
"You said last time that you wanted to deliver a message to the General's Palace in the capital. Who are you? Why do you want to deliver a message to the General's Palace?" the old man asked directly, looking at Xie Wenwu with his old eyes.
"This junior is Xie...Xie Wenwu, this is the General's Mansion..." Xie Wenwu took a deep breath and gathered enough strength to speak.
Halfway through his words, the old man interrupted him with a bright look in his eyes, "Are you Xie Wenwu, the young general of the General's Mansion?"
"That's right...it's this junior." Xie Wenwu didn't have the energy to nod, so he blinked.
"It turns out to be Major General Xie! It seems that I did the right thing to save people!" The old man was very happy, with joy on his face. "Tell me, what message do you want to send to the General's Mansion? I will definitely help you pass the message back.
!”
"Senior, do you know me?" Xie Wenwu asked weakly, not in a hurry to explain the content of the message.
"Of course we do! Looking at the entire border, who doesn't know about the Xie family of the General Mansion? Who doesn't know that the three generations of generals from the Xie family's ancestors and grandsons are all good at fighting, and they can defeat the enemy without being able to fight back. This is how the border has been maintained for so many years.
So stable! General Xie Lian is even more..." The old man subconsciously mentioned Xie Lian and suddenly stopped talking.
The atmosphere in the room also became temporarily awkward.
Xie Wenwu's eyes dimmed, thinking of his father's instructions before his death, and suddenly there was a surge of strength in his heart, "I also ask senior to help me send a message to the capital, and deliver it to the hands of Princess Han Xie Yao, or General Xie of the General Mansion.
in your hands!"
Grandpa, sister, I'm still alive! Are you okay?
Just hold on a little longer!
I will be able to return to Beijing soon to protect you! Protect the General's Mansion! Let you not suffer any grievances!
Thinking of this, Xie Wenwu's eyes turned red, and the scene before his father's death appeared in front of his eyes.
The sky is full of arrows, the ground is full of fire, the father's resounding voice and resolute eyes...
