The flowers are in bloom and the willows are shaded.
After separating from Wu Peiya, Xie Yao and Chu Han walked slowly on the road to Yonghua Palace.
It's early morning, the sun is not strong, and it shines on the ground through the leaves, giving people a rare sense of comfort.
The two of them walked forward while admiring the beautiful scenery.
"I have been in and out of the palace many times in the past. It can be said that it is countless, but it is only recently that I have truly discovered the beauty of the palace." Chu Han lowered his eyes, glanced at the woman beside him, and then turned to look at the last one.
The front seems to carry some memories and some longings.
"If nothing happens in the future, you can always accompany me for walks like this, so that you can feel comfortable both physically and mentally."
Xie Yao nodded calmly and replied with only one word, "Okay."
Her eyes were still slightly lowered, looking not far ahead.
She was very willing to accompany Chu Han for a walk like this, but she didn't know how much time she had left.
Chu Han noticed that something was wrong with Xie Yao's state. He looked over again with a pair of black eyes, seeming to see a hint of fatigue between Xie Yao's brows. His voice was gentle enough to make people fall instantly, "You didn't sleep last night, okay? We didn't sleep last night?"
Find a place to take a rest first, and then go to pay your respects to the Imperial Grandmother later."
Xie Yao's heart moved, and she deliberately rubbed her forehead without changing her expression, "No need. I just had a dream last night, and I didn't sleep well."
"What dream did you have?" Chu Han was curious and asked.
"It's about my brother. In the dream, he came to me covered in blood and said he wanted to take me out of the capital and away from this place of right and wrong." Xie Yao said casually, and then looked into Chu Han's eyes.
Chu Han raised his eyebrows, then his eyes dimmed, "General Xie has always loved you the most."
"He is in a secret cell, and I don't know if he has received treatment. His injuries are extremely serious. If he does not receive treatment, he will definitely die." Xie Yao changed the subject without leaving a trace, worry appearing in his eyes.
If the person in the secret cell is not Xie Wenwu, then the injuries are too serious, and it is very likely that Xie Wenwu's condition is known.
But what if it’s Xie Wenwu?
She couldn't let anything happen to him.
Chu Han frowned, his expression a bit gloomy, "I have been sending people to inquire about the situation inside recently, and there will be news soon."
"The secret prison is controlled by my father alone, and he never takes advantage of others. If you want to break through, you must be sure. If you accidentally alert the enemy, it may be detrimental to Xie Wenwu."
Xie Yao's expression was solemn, and a bright light occasionally flashed in his eyes, "As long as he is still alive, I have the ability to completely heal his injuries."
"Father worked so hard to capture Xie Wenwu, so naturally he won't let Xie Wenwu die easily! You can rest assured of this." Chu Han spoke in a low voice, his black eyes narrowed slightly.
Xie Yao nodded, but his eyes were still filled with worry.
In her view, Emperor Zhaochu was a man who was extremely scheming and focused on interests.
For the sake of profit, he can abandon everything!
Therefore, as long as there are more benefits, even if Emperor Zhaochu worked hard to capture Xie Wenwu, he will definitely let Xie Wenwu die without hesitation!
She must never let Xie Wenwu die!
At this time, she and Chu Han happened to pass a corner, and two palace maids came towards them. They were holding a large plate in their hands, which contained a very delicate porcelain bottle and multiple wine glasses.
Xie Yao raised her eyes, and as soon as she took a look, she saw that the two palace maids seemed to have lost their balance for a moment, and the big plates in their hands tilted, and they all poured towards her!
Because the two palace maids could not stand steadily until they came up to them, and the situation happened in an instant, leaving no one with time to dodge.
Even if Chu Han took action in an instant, he only had time to knock away one of the porcelain bottles.
The other porcelain bottle crossed a short parabola and hit Xie Yao directly.
The wine in the porcelain bottle also spilled out, all over Xie Yao.
Wow!
The two porcelain bottles fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. The smell of wine filled the air, both from the ground and from Xie Yao's body.
"Please spare your life, King Han! Please spare your life, Princess Han! I accidentally soiled Princess Han's clothes. I deserve death!" The two maids immediately knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
Xie Yao smelled the pungent smell of wine, then saw a patch of wine on her clothes, and frowned slightly.
Chu Han immediately looked over with concern, saw the wet area on Xie Yao's body, his face darkened, and he said coldly to the two palace ladies: "You go and receive the punishment yourself!"
"Thank you, His Highness, King Han, thank you, His Highness, King Han!" The two maids immediately stood up and quickly retreated as if they were being pardoned.
Xie Yao glanced at the backs of the two palace maids who left quickly, then at the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, and frowned slightly.
"Let's go, I will take you to change into another piece of clothing. This clothes is stained with the smell of alcohol, so you need to change into another one." Chu Han said warmly.
"It's better for me to change it myself. You go and pay your respects to the Imperial Grandmother first." Xie Yao pondered for a moment and shook her head, "It's getting late now. The Imperial Grandmother ordered someone to go to the mansion yesterday to inform her. It must be
I want to see you as soon as possible."
Chu Han's eyes softened and he was about to refuse.
Xie Yao interrupted immediately, with a slight smile on her face, "I remember that the palace has special clothes for the princes and princesses to change, just in case they get dirty and delay the business. I will just go and change.
It won't take too long. You go and say hello to the Imperial Grandmother first, and I'll be there soon."
Seeing Xie Yao's insistence, Chu Han's dark eyes flashed with endearment, "Okay, I listen to you."
Xie Yao smiled and turned around to find clothes.
Chu Han watched Xie Yao leave, and then walked towards the Yonghua Palace.
A quarter of an hour later.
As soon as Chu Han arrived at Yonghua Palace, he saw Eunuch Ma waiting outside the palace, looking around.
When Eunuch Ma saw Chu Han, he immediately stepped forward and saluted, "Old slave, I have met His Royal Highness King Han!"
"Excuse me." Chu Han raised his hand, "Is the emperor's grandmother in there?"
"Here we are! I got up early in the morning and have been waiting to see you, King Han! King Han, please come in quickly!" Eunuch Ma, with an eager expression on his face, bent down and made an invitation gesture towards the palace.
Chu Han nodded slightly and strode in.
Walking into the palace, Chu Han saw from a distance the Crown Princess sitting at the front seat, eating something, "My grandson has seen the Crown Princess, please give her regards!"
"Lao Wu, you're here just in time, come here quickly!" The Crown Princess waved to Chu Han.
Chu Han walked up and saw several exquisite plates in front of the imperial concubine, containing several kinds of pastries. His eyes moved and he asked, "Grandma Huang, are you eating pastries? My grandson remembers that you have never liked it.
Eat these things early in the morning."
The imperial concubine smiled and said, "It's rare that you still remember the habits of the Ai family. However, the Ai family is old, and many of their habits have changed. Besides, this is a pastry specially made by the imperial chef for the Ai family. It is said that it is a new
Tricks, come here and try them."
As she said that, the Crown Princess pointed to the plate of pastries in the middle and said, "This! Try this first! The Ai family thinks it tastes the best! It suits the Ai family best."
