As soon as the four words came out, Chu Han and Xie Yao's breath sank at the same time, with a heavy look of solemnity on their faces.
"Where is it?" Chu Han asked in a deep voice.
"A mass grave outside the city." Wu Feng said.
"Who discovered it first?" Chu Han asked again, his voice becoming a little darker.
"It's someone from the Zhongyonghou Mansion. It is said that the horse has been eaten by wild wolves and wild dogs until it is indistinguishable. It can only be identified through the saddle and reins. When the horse corpse was found, the people from the Zhongyonghou Mansion also found the horse's body.
The two front legs are fractured, and they were most likely broken by someone!" Fang Feng said quickly.
"Prince Hong should have fallen off his horse at that time! However, the horse body was transported to a mass grave, so we don't know where he fell from his horse. There is still no trace of Crown Prince Hong."
Chu Han lowered his eyes, a pair of black eyes filled with black mist. The noise was rising, and a nameless coldness spread out in an instant.
"Princess, I owe you this meal for now. When I come back, you can eat with me again." He tilted his head and spoke in a gentle voice.
"Go with peace of mind, find him as soon as possible, and pay attention to your own safety." Xie Yao looked solemnly and warned.
Chu Han nodded towards Xie Yao, then turned around and strode away. At the same time, he ordered in a cold voice: "Wufeng, pass this king's order to mobilize all the guards..."
As the two of them walked farther and farther away, their voices became fainter and fainter, and finally disappeared.
Xie Yao watched them leave, then turned and returned to the room, with a deep meaning in her eyes.
Hong Ye just went out of the city to meet Chu Han, so why did he suddenly disappear and even the front legs of his horse were broken?
After dinner, the sky became darker and darker. Xie Yao stayed in the room alone and didn't go anywhere.
Until midnight, an oil lamp was still burning in Yunjuan Pavilion.
"Come here." Xie Yao shouted towards the outside.
"The slave is here, what do you want Miss Yan to do?" the maid's voice came from outside.
"Has His Royal Highness, King Han, ever returned to his residence?" Xie Yao's voice was calm, without revealing any emotion.
"No. Miss Yan has something to do with the prince? If Miss Yan doesn't mind, you can tell the matter to the servant. When the prince comes back, the servant will tell the prince, so Miss Yan doesn't have to wait. It's late at night, Miss Yan should take care of herself.
That's right." The maid's voice was very respectful.
"No need, I'll just go over and tell you in person when the prince comes back tomorrow." Xie Yao said and put out the oil lamp directly.
Outside, the maid saw that there was no more movement in the room, so she retreated.
There was no words for a night, Prince Han's Mansion and even the entire capital were very quiet.
After one night, it was getting bright. Xie Yao asked again while having breakfast. When she learned that Chu Han still hadn't come back, she didn't ask again.
Not long after breakfast, a maid ran into Yunjuan Pavilion from outside, looking very panicked.
"Yan, Miss Yan, hurry up and get ready. The more grand the better! It's best to bring you the best clothes and all the best accessories!" The maid ran to Xie Yao, out of breath.
After catching his breath, he still forced himself to speak.
Xie Yao's eyes turned slightly, "Is there someone from the palace?"
The maid was startled, and had no time to think about how Miss Yan knew, and nodded repeatedly, "You are right! It is Concubine Jing who has arrived! You should prepare as soon as possible! The prince is not in the palace, Concubine Jing went directly to Yunjuan Pavilion
Coming over here!"
"I know, let's go down." Xie Yao ordered calmly and walked slowly to the front of the bronze mirror.
When the imperial concubine arrived, as Yan Jun, she naturally had to make grand preparations.
But, why did Concubine Jing come here? And she specifically picked on Chu Han when he was not in the house?
Seeing Xie Yao's calm and composed appearance, her graceful and graceful demeanor, the maid was completely stunned.
She had already said that the concubine was here, but Miss Yan could still maintain her demeanor calmly. This must be such a strong psychological quality!
And she was already panicking to death just after hearing the news!
After a while, Concubine Jing and her party arrived at Yunjuan Pavilion.
"The daughter of the people has seen the concubine Jing, the empress." Xie Yao saluted to the concubine Yao Yao with all the etiquette.
Concubine Jing glanced at her lightly and said nothing.
Aunt Liu immediately stepped forward to support Concubine Jing, and sat down at the main seat. Then a maid served tea cautiously.
Concubine Jing picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and then looked at Xie Yao, her voice a little indifferent, "You are the Yan Jun that Han'er brought back from the border. Stand up straight and let me take a look at you.
"
Xie Yao then stood up straight, raised her head slightly and lowered her eyes.
As expected of Concubine Jing, she showed off her power as soon as she appeared on the stage. It seems that Concubine Jing doesn’t have a good impression of Yan Jun’s identity!
"Well, the appearance is a bit ordinary, but the eyes are a bit lively." Concubine Jing took a look and commented proudly.
It was indeed the same as what she heard. Seeing those eyes, she had a vague feeling of seeing Xie Yao.
No wonder Chu Han would bring a woman back to Beijing for the first time. This woman and Xie Yao did have some imagination.
However, no matter how much she looks like, she is not Xie Yao after all.
Xie Yao listened quietly to Concubine Jing's comments, with no expression on her face.
Obviously, Concubine Jing also heard the news that Chu Han often stayed in Yunjuan Pavilion, so she rarely came out of the palace and visited Prince Han's mansion in person.
Chu Han, you are really 'harming people' a lot.
"Are you from Wanqi country?" Concubine Jing asked quietly, putting down the tea cup, just like a future mother-in-law examining her new daughter-in-law.
However, this mother-in-law is very dissatisfied with her new daughter-in-law.
"To tell you the truth, the daughter of the common people is from Jiangning City." Xie Yao explained in detail her life experience that she had prepared early in the morning.
After hearing this, Concubine Jing frowned slightly and said directly: "My life experience is too ordinary. With your life experience, the most you can do is be Han'er's concubine."
After hearing this, Xie Yao looked embarrassed for a moment.
My dear concubine, your words are too straightforward.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Jing did not finish her words and continued: "You must have heard about Princess Han's life experience. Only in that way can she be worthy of the position of the Princess."
"Yes, that's what the Queen said." Xie Yao nodded, giving High Concubine Jing a high degree of approval in her heart.
Sometimes, speaking directly is not a bad thing.
When Concubine Jing saw Yan Jun's face of agreement, without any dissatisfaction on his face, and he looked very well-behaved, the coldness in his eyes relaxed a little, "If you want to marry into Prince Han's palace as a concubine, you can just say that I can give you
You make arrangements as soon as possible. But remember, before you become Han'er's concubine, Han'er is not allowed to spend the night in Yunjuan Pavilion!"
Xie Yao was stunned, what? Being a concubine? Last night?
She didn't expect that Concubine Jing was here to take a concubine for Chu Han?
Before Xie Yao could speak, Concubine Jing's face darkened when she saw Xie Yao didn't agree immediately, "If you don't have this plan, leave Prince Han's Mansion as soon as possible. Don't harm Han'er's reputation by you!"
"Han'er hasn't married you yet, but lingering in your yard all day is not a good thing after all!"
"Could it be that you entered Prince Han's Mansion for another purpose?"
