Chapter 212 "Tell my father that I am not a coward!"
The old emperor nodded woodenly.
"I know, I know..."
He knew that his kingdom was unstable.
Years of war and heavy taxation.
Another natural disaster struck, and the people were in turmoil.
The people complained bitterly and suffered terribly.
But he didn't expect...
Internal and external troubles, the southern barbarians and the eastern Liao...
Even his own brother was coveting his throne.
Is this what he did as an emperor... such a failure?
Xie Qinghuan's scallion-like jade fingernails were picking at the crack in the door.
"Uncle Huang, please open the door and I will take your pulse..."
Only then did the old emperor withdraw his thoughts.
Help her push the door open as wide as possible.
When Xie Qinghuan put her hand in, her delicate white hand was scratched red.
It made him feel distressed again.
"In fact, you don't have to go to such great lengths. I will not hand over the Imperial Seal!"
The men of the Chu family still have this bit of bloodiness!
Xie Qinghuan calmly helped him take his pulse.
He discovered that the poison Chu Yingji gave him was not fatal.
It's just that I have severe pain from time to time, and sometimes I get diarrhea after eating cold food.
She thought about it.
Take your hand back.
He threw all the pills he brought through the crack in the door.
“Uncle Huang, please hide the medicine well. Remember, the white one is for pain relief;
The yellow one is for reducing fever; the blue one is for calming nerves; the black one can stop diarrhea!"
It also explains in detail which foods are cold in nature and should not be eaten too much.
The emperor listened to her in silence.
When he spoke again, his voice was choked with sobs.
"Qinghuan... you guys took a lot of trouble, how are Zhenye and Yanjing doing?"
They are his hope to survive!
“Uncle Huang, don’t worry. The Night King has the protection of the court officials, and Chu Yingji can’t touch him.
Chu Hanxiao...he will soon bring his troops back to rescue you!"
The old emperor nodded and fiddled with the medicine bottle he picked up from the ground.
"If I had known... I shouldn't have sent him out of the palace..."
He sniffed again and asked:
"By the way, I heard that Chu Yingji ordered you to be engaged at the Crown Prince's enthronement ceremony..."
Xie Qinghuan's upper body was straight.
The gaze through the crack in the door was very determined.
"Chu Hanxiao said that he would not let me marry anyone else. I am waiting for the day when the crown prince will be crowned!"
The old emperor was stunned for a moment.
did not expect……
These two children have such a good relationship.
After hesitating for a while, he said:
"Okay! We'll wait!"
Xie Qinghuan comforted him a few more words, then closed the door, got up and left.
Han Feng took a few steps towards her.
Whispered:
"I will be back tomorrow morning after handing over my shift. Miss, please be careful when leaving the palace."
"Well, you too, be careful."
Send him out.
The guard outside the door looked at Xie Qinghuan.
doubt:
"Why so long?"
Han Feng answered on his behalf:
"There was a small problem with the meal. I checked with her."
The guard groaned and continued to look at her.
Han Feng couldn't help but tighten the knife at his waist.
He then snorted and took out the key to the palace door from his waist.
"Let's go!"
He went inside, unlocked the door, and looked around.
"Why are you the only one guarding the door?"
Han Feng smiled heartily and covered up:
"Well, that's just how he is, a lazy donkey will pee and shit!"
The man didn't ask any more questions. He lifted the food box and checked it before putting the food in.
Xie Qinghuan saw this.
I secretly thanked God that I didn't put the medicine in the lunch box.
Leave quickly.
In the imperial kitchen, Chu Jiarou's maid was already waiting there.
Seeing the maid who had delivered the meal had returned from the toilet, he deliberately scolded her:
"Where have you been? People from Muhua Palace just came over to urge us!"
"Ah, I am not feeling well, I didn't mean to delay you!"
She took the opportunity to back off and waved her hand.
"Okay, I'll ask the maid to take it for you, you can go back and rest now!"
"Thank you, sister..."
Xie Qinghuan returned to Guanghua Palace and changed back into his own clothes.
Explain to Chu Jiarou:
“If what happened today is exposed, remember!
No matter what Chu Yingji asks you to do, just do it. There's no need to confront him!
My brother has already made arrangements to send you to Xiyue to hide for a while."
"Xiyue? I'm not going!"
"It's just a way to protect you. Do you think we like to mess around if it's not necessary?"
Chu Jiarou lowered her eyes.
I still feel uneasy.
Xie Qinghuan changed her clothes and comforted her:
"It's okay, be brave!
Even if you go to Mount Xiyue, it won’t take more than half a month, and we will pick you up!"
Because half a month later...
Chu Yingji is about to be conferred the title of Crown Prince.
Plus, her engagement party...
My uncle and brothers will definitely come back!
and also……
Chu Hanxiao!
Chu Jiarou didn't know what she was talking about.
He grabbed her sleeve and raised his fist angrily:
"Tell my father that I am not a coward!"
Xie Qinghuan chuckled.
"Don't worry, your father knows everything!"
Left the palace smoothly.
At dawn, Han Feng also came back.
Xie Qinghuan was just about to breathe a sigh of relief.
But just after breakfast, Chu Yingji came to the door.
She felt a little guilty.
Didn't go to see him.
Using physical discomfort as an excuse to shirk responsibility.
But he found Yueqiongyuan.
"Greetings to the Crown Prince..."
Xie Qinghuan was still bowing.
He walked over without any grace, grabbed her wrist and lifted her up.
Xie Zhiqiu and Xie Tingzhou were shocked.
They all showed their power and begged for mercy.
"Your Highness, I wonder how I have offended you?"
"Yes, Your Highness. I am weak, so I hope you will show mercy!"
Chu Yingji snorted and laughed.
Bring her forward.
Squinting at her.
"How did she offend me? Why don't you... let her speak for herself?"
Xie Qinghuan panted slightly with a guilty conscience.
His pinching hurt my wrist so much that my fingertips turned white.
But she still looked into his eyes with all her might.
"I have not been to the East Palace in the past few days. I don't know how I have angered His Highness!"
"Haha... good acting!"
He threw her hard onto the table.
Turn around.
He turned the jade ring on his thumb.
"Then I want to ask you...Yesterday, you went to the palace to drink tea with Chu Jiarou.
Why, when he went there, he took with him a guard and a maid;
When you came back, you were accompanied only by your maidservant?"
Xie Qinghuan's heart skipped a beat.
The heart says...
There is always a loophole!
Momentarily speechless.
Chu Yingji Gao He:
"talk!"
Xie Tingzhou saw this.
He knelt on the ground with a thud.
"Your Highness..."
"Shut up! Let her speak for herself!!! Where is that guard!!!"
Xie Qinghuan clenched the handkerchief in her hand.
The brain is in turmoil.
But I also thought...
He would come and ask her.
That is, nothing unusual was found at Uncle Huang's place!
Just find a reason to cover it up...
What reason...
Find a reason...
My mind went blank.
Chu Yingji strode over again and grabbed her neck fiercely.
"You dare to play tricks on me?"
"Your Highness!"
"Your Highness!!"
Xie Zhiqiu and Xie Tingzhou exclaimed in unison.
But no one dared to move without authorization.
After all, this madman can do anything!
Han Feng outside the door couldn't bear it any longer.
Kneeled down and said loudly:
"Your Highness! This has nothing to do with the young lady. Princess Jiarou asked me to stay in the palace to serve her for one night..."
Everyone knows that Princess Jiarou has many lovers...
Now the situation is urgent, we can only...
I'm sorry, Princess.
