Upon hearing the news of Chu Ye's arrival, Xie Yao paused and asked, "Where is His Highness King Han?"
"Miss Yan, the prince has something to do temporarily and has just left the palace not long ago." The servant said truthfully.
She subconsciously looked back at Xie Wenwu, planning to let Xie Wenwu go check for clues first while she stayed to see Chu Ye.
Just as she was about to speak, she saw Xie Wenwu slightly shaking his head towards her.
Xie Wenwu didn't want her to see Chu Ye?
"Cough cough cough!" She raised her hand to cover her mouth, coughed a few times, then put on a haggard expression on her face and said to the servant: "Go back to His Highness Prince Chen and say that I caught a cold last night.
I feel unwell now."
"In addition, I came from Jiangning City and have been in close contact with the plague. If I contract the plague and then infect His Highness King Chen, it will be a big sin! Tell King Chen that when I recover, I will make sure that I have not been infected.
After the plague, I will definitely visit you!"
Seeing that Xie Yao was coughing and suffering from the plague, the servants responded in fright, turned around and ran away.
After the servants left, Xie Yao turned her head and said, "Brother, why didn't you want me to see King Chen just now?"
It made no difference to her whether she saw Chu Ye or not. She was just curious about why Xie Wenwu shook his head.
It seems that Xie Wenwu has been vaguely...repulsive towards Chu Ye since he was in the capital of Dong Ao Kingdom.
"This is normal! This is Prince Han's Mansion. As King Chen, he came to Prince Han's Mansion to meet a woman brought back by Prince Han alone when Prince Han was not around. This is very unusual in itself." Xie Wenwu asked casually.
He gave a reason and his attitude was very firm.
He is very aware of Chu Ye's intentions towards Xie Yao, so whether Chu Ye knows that Yan Jun is Xie Yao or not, he cannot see her!
Try to avoid the chance of Chu Ye and Xie Yao meeting.
They are already at Prince Han's Mansion, and no one except Chu Han can even think of taking advantage of his sister!
He didn't realize at all that his determination now was completely opposite to his attitude when he first learned that Xie Yao had married into Prince Han's palace!
At first, he didn't like anything about Chu Han. Whenever Chu Han dared to treat Xie Yao badly, he would stand up for Xie Yao!
Now, he has become a loyal supporter of Chu Han...
Xie Yao thought about Xie Wenwu's words for a while, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with him, "Prince Jing also came to see me before, and he didn't go to see the prince when he left."
"He...he is the eldest prince. The so-called eldest brother is a father, so he and King Chen are naturally different."
I don’t know if I will leave easily. I’ll go over and take a look and I’ll be right back.”
When he finished speaking, his people were already outside the yard.
The surroundings were very quiet, no servants passed by, but no one heard Xie Wenwu's words.
Xie Yao looked at Xie Wenwu's leaving figure and smiled.
In front of the gate of Prince Han's Mansion, a carriage was heard.
Chu Ye sat upright in the carriage, and Feng Qing went to call the door.
After waiting for a while, the servant who went in to report came back with a panicked look on his face, "Feng, Guard Feng, please come back quickly! Miss Yan is feeling unwell now and keeps coughing. I don't know if it's because of the cold she caught last night or because of it.
From Jiangning City...for some other reason."
"Miss Yan said that for the sake of His Highness Prince Chen's health, it would be best not to see him for the time being."
Feng Qing immediately understood the meaning behind the servant's words. Yan Jun was not sure if he had the plague?
With a chuckle in his heart, he turned around and left the gate of Prince Han's Mansion. He turned back to the carriage and lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, Miss Yan excused herself from seeing you because she might be suffering from the plague."
When Wu Feng deceived Eunuch Liu, he used this trick, and the prince revealed it! Now, Yan Jun used it to deceive the prince again? How brave!
Chu Ye's voice came from inside the carriage, "Miss Yan's worries are justified. Let's go back home."
Feng Qing was slightly startled when he heard the words.
Even if this is in front of Prince Han’s Mansion, Prince Han, you don’t have to wrong yourself and say these words to others!
"My lord, this is clearly Yan Jun..." Feng Qing wanted to say, this was clearly Yan Jun's excuse.
The prince has clearly seen through this trick a long time ago, so why do he still believe it?
"No need to say more, go back home." Chu Ye's voice came out again, slightly deeper than before.
"Yes, I humbly obey my orders." Feng Qing knew she couldn't say any more and bowed.
Not long after, the carriage returned to Prince Chen's Mansion.
Chu Ye got off the carriage and returned to the study. He took a portrait and handed it to Feng Qing, "Take it and go to Jiangning City."
Feng Qing took the portrait and said, "Your Majesty, this is..."
"This is Yan Jun." After Chu Ye finished speaking, he raised his eyes and glanced at Feng Qing, "Remember, go and come back quickly."
Feng Qing was a little puzzled, "Your Majesty, our people are already investigating Yan Jun's life experience in Jiangning City. I still want to stay with you. How about I send the portrait over..."
"Huh?" Chu Ye's eyes darkened slightly.
"Yes! I humbly accept the order and set off now!" Feng Qing responded immediately.
Sometimes, the prince's orders cannot tolerate any disobedience, such as now.
"Come here." Chu Ye ordered.
Feng Qing immediately put her ear towards it.
Chu Ye whispered something, and although Feng Qing had some doubts in his eyes, he immediately responded and retreated.
Without even changing clothes, he directly picked a horse, left the capital, and headed straight for Jiangning City!
…
On the other side, after Xie Wenwu confirmed that Chu Ye had indeed left, he immediately returned to Yunjuan Pavilion.
"Sister, King Chen is gone. After learning that you kept coughing, he left immediately." Xie Wenwu learned about this from the concierge.
"Not only that, I also learned from the guards that the area around the palace is very safe. There are no people from Prince Chen or other spies." Xie Wenwu said as he pulled Xie Yao and asked Xie Yao to sit on the chair.
"You can just wait at Prince Han's Mansion with peace of mind. After I find out the clues, I will come back and tell you as soon as possible."
"You don't want me to go with you?" Xie Yao raised her eyebrows.
Xie Wenwu's face was solemn, "You'd better stay in Prince Han's Mansion. I didn't expect that it was Prince Chen's arrival that reminded me. Because of Prince Han's stay in Yunjuan Pavilion, many people have come to see you recently. If you are not in the mansion
, it’s easy to be discovered.”
"Anyway, King Han has already given us the list. I only need to search according to the picture and go directly to the people on the list to collect evidence. Moreover, I participated in that raid and have a better understanding of the situation at that time. If someone lies, I can expose it on the spot.
!”
After hearing this, Xie Yao thought that what Xie Wenwu said was reasonable, so she nodded, "Okay, then go ahead. I'll wait for your good news."
"Don't worry, I'll keep it with your brother!" Xie Wenwu turned around and left with confidence.
Xie Yao had nothing to do when he suddenly remembered Hong Ye's poison. Just when he was about to try several antidotes, a servant sent a letter, saying that this letter had been stuffed into the door.
Xie Yao glanced at the envelope, and a hint of joy immediately appeared in her eyes.
There is only the word "Yan Jun" on the envelope, but those two words are in my grandfather's handwriting!
