Get out of your vicious mother's house, and make a fortune with your husband to become a prince

Xia Xuelian let her continue to be her personal maid.

The nanny also said quickly: "Don't worry, young lady, we will do our best to serve you."

When Xia Xuelian said this, a hint of displeasure flashed across her face.

But nothing was said.

Afterwards, Xia Xuelian sent Jiang Yi to the general's mansion.

Although Jiang Yi was a little confused, he didn't dare to ask more questions and could only obey the order.

Jiang Yi came to the general's mansion, met Wu Yu, and conveyed "Xia Xueqing's" words: "General Wu, my lady said she went back to the Duke's Mansion. Don't look for her anymore."

Wu Yu frowned and was confused. He asked, "Why? What happened?"

Jiang Yi shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I was just following orders to pass on the message."

Wu Yu fell into deep thought. He didn't understand why Xue Qing suddenly said such a thing.

He decided to find an opportunity to go to the Duke's Mansion to find out what had happened.

Xia Xuelian sat alone in the room, thinking carefully about the emperor's words, which told her to stay in the Duke's Mansion and wait for her marriage with peace of mind.

Just wait until you marry the eldest prince, and then you can rest assured.

Jiang Yi told Wu Yu about his suspicions: "General, since the young lady came back from the palace, she has become a completely different person. I always feel that something is wrong, but I have no way to tell whether it is true or not."

After hearing this, Wu Yu also felt it was very strange.

Even if Xue Qing wanted to go back to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, she would definitely come back here first, and then discuss with herself to decide the time and reason for her return.

There is absolutely no way that I can return to the Duke's Mansion like this.

He frowned, wondering why.

At this time, Liu was shocked to hear that Xue Qing had returned to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

She came to Wu Yu and said worriedly, "Yu'er, what's going on? Why did Qing'er suddenly return to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion?"

Wu Yu comforted Liu, "Mom, don't worry. This matter is indeed a little strange. I will find out."

After Jiang Yi finished speaking, he said goodbye to Wu Yu and returned to the courtyard where Xue Qing had lived before.

Wu Yu decided to visit the Duke's Mansion at night.

At midnight, he quickly arrived at the Lotus Cottage according to the general route Jiang Yi gave.

He hid in the dark, observing Xia Xuelian's every move. He saw Xia Xuelian pacing back and forth in the room, looking a little panicked.

Wu Yu felt more and more that there was something wrong with this "Xue Qing".

Afterwards, Wu Yu sneaked into the room and suddenly attacked Xia Xuelian.

Xia Xuelian had no martial arts skills at all, and was frightened by Wu Yu's sudden attack and was at a loss. When she was about to shout, Wu Yu covered her mouth.

Wu Yu lowered his voice and questioned her: "Who are you? Why are you pretending to be Xia Xueqing?"

Xia Xuelian looked at Wu Yu in horror, knowing that she could no longer hide the truth. She trembled and said, "I... I am Xia Xuelian. The emperor asked me to pretend to be Xia Xueqing. The real Xia Xueqing was left in the palace by the emperor, and she... maybe... is in danger."

After hearing this, Wu Yu was shocked.

He said angrily: "Why would the emperor do this?"

Xia Xuelian cried and said, "I don't know either. The emperor just told me to be obedient, otherwise he would kill me."

Wu Yu let go of Xia Xuelian and fell into deep thought.

He knew that he had to find a way to rescue Xue Qing as soon as possible.

He said to Xia Xuelian: "You'd better not act rashly, otherwise I won't let you go."

Xia Xuelian nodded quickly and said, "I understand. I don't want to pretend to be Xia Xueqing, I just have no choice."

Wu Yu turned and left the Lotus Cottage.

Xue He came to the study and met Xue Zhong, only to see Xue Zhong sitting there with a solemn expression and silent.

Xue He was also full of doubts, and was the first to speak: "Father, I always feel that there is something strange about Qing'er's return this time."

Xue Zhong raised his head slightly and said slowly: "He'er, you are right. The one who came back must not be Xia Xueqing, but Xia Xuelian from before. Since she came back from the palace, Xia Xueqing must still be in the palace. Only the emperor can do this."

Xue He frowned and said worriedly, "Father, what should we do? Why did the emperor do this? Will Qing'er be in danger?"

Xue Zhong pondered for a moment and said, "We don't know the emperor's intentions yet, but we must find a way to rescue Qing'er. This matter must not be made public, so as not to alert the enemy."

On the second day, Xue Zhong asked his servant to deliver a letter to Wu Yu, asking him to meet at a remote house.

When Wu Yu received the post, he knew what it was about and immediately went to the agreed place.

Wu Yu walked into the house and saw Xue Zhong.

The two did not exchange many pleasantries, and Wu Yu said directly: "Duke, I already know about Xia Xuelian. Now we must find a way to rescue Qing'er as soon as possible."

Xue Zhong nodded and said, "General Wu is right. I am also worried about this matter. However, we don't know the emperor's purpose yet, nor do we know Qing'er's specific situation. If we act rashly, it may backfire."

Wu Yu said: "What the Duke said makes sense. But we can't just sit there and wait for death. We can secretly investigate the emperor's intentions and find a way to get in touch with Qing'er at the same time."

Xue Zhong thought for a moment and said, "This is the only way for now. However, we can't do anything to Xia Xuelian now. We can only let her live peacefully in the Lotus Villa to avoid arousing the emperor's suspicion."

Wu Yu frowned slightly and said, "Don't worry, Duke. I will send someone to keep an eye on Xia Xuelian to make sure she doesn't do anything out of line."

Xue Zhong sighed and said, "I hope we can rescue Xue Qing as soon as possible and get her out of danger."

Wu Yu said firmly: "My Lord, I will do my best to rescue Qing'er."

After they discussed it for a while, they left.

Xue Qing was in the palace at this time. Because of the space, her body recovered very quickly and she could not stay in the space all the time.

After turning around, he did not see the figure of the national teacher.

Xue Qing looked around. This was a secret room. She looked in several places to see if she could feel the breeze.

Finally, when she reached a place, she felt a breeze on her ankles.

There is wind blowing here, and the other side of the wall might be the road leading to the outside world.

Xue Qing thought of the martial arts movies he had seen before, and kept groping and knocking on the wall.

I accidentally touched the oil lamp tray hanging on the wall next to me. I heard a dull sound and the wall in front of me slowly opened.

Xue Qing looked at the door that was about to open. The door opened, and at the same time, a bright yellow robe appeared.

The emperor looked at Xue Qing with cold eyes. When the door was fully opened, Xue Qing saw the imperial teacher who was still masked behind the emperor.

Xue Qing took a few steps back and the emperor walked in slowly.

The emperor no longer had his former kindness, and his face was now full of indifference.
