The Queen sealed her heart and locked up her love, and the Emperor was trapped in the crematorium

Xie Yaoqing could never have imagined that Xie Yichen would be so hesitant and procrastinate for such a long time, and finally come up with such a question.

She was startled for a moment at first, and then she looked at Xie Yichen deeply.

Xie Yichen felt a little unnatural. He subconsciously touched his nose and looked around. After waiting for a while, he found that Xie Yaoqing was still silent. He suddenly seemed to understand something and said in astonishment, "Is the rumor true?"

Oh my God, although he was not so sure about the authenticity of the rumor, he still tended to believe that the rumor was false, and he hoped it was false. After all, this was related to the lifelong happiness of his own sister.

But now that it was confirmed that the rumors were true, Xie Yichen simply didn't know what to say.

If it were someone else, especially someone who had nothing to do with his family, according to Xie Yichen's personality, he would definitely choose to be a bystander and watch the show. But this matter happened to involve his own sister, and this feeling became very subtle.

Xie Yichen couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, sighing, and looking at Xie Yaoqing with eyes full of complicated emotions.

After thinking for a moment, Xie Yichen spoke again: "I have a colleague whose maternal grandfather's family has been practicing medicine for generations. It can be said that they are a veritable aristocratic family. How about I ask him if he has any suitable prescriptions or folk remedies?"

There may be a way for folk doctors to cure illnesses that the palace physicians cannot cure. Although the physicians in the Imperial Medical Bureau are highly skilled, this is beyond doubt, but it does not mean that there are no doctors with more sophisticated medical skills in the world.

Xie Yaoqing certainly understood Xie Yichen's good intentions, but she couldn't help but twitching the corners of her mouth a few times. She neither nodded nor shook her head, and did not clearly express her attitude.

Let the third brother deal with it. If she doesn't find him something to do, once he finds out that the conflict between her and Xiao Chengxu actually involves other aspects, he will definitely get to the bottom of it, and then her father and brothers will be worried again.

Xie Yaoqing, who always reported good news but not bad news, did not want to involve her relatives. Even if the matter between her and Xiao Chengxu had become a tangled mess, it was a problem between the two of them. They could solve it by themselves, and there was really no need to involve too many people.

Xie Yaoqing was temporarily living in the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion, so naturally she celebrated her birthday there.

Except for Xie Yisui who had not yet returned to Beijing, the whole family gathered together to celebrate a warm and happy birthday for Xie Yaoqing.

In the palace, Xiao Chengxu had known about Xie Yaoqing's whereabouts since the moment she stepped out of the palace. When his men reported that she had settled down in the Yongchang Marquis's mansion, Xiao Chengxu couldn't help but feel an ominous premonition.

As it turned out, his hunch was not wrong.

Since that day, Xie Yaoqing has never returned to the palace. As the day of the banquet approaches, the queen who should have been the protagonist of the banquet is nowhere to be seen.

This carefully prepared banquet seemed to have become a farce. Although the banquet was still sumptuous, the lack of the protagonist made the whole scene extremely awkward. The guests who came to the banquet looked at each other with confusion and doubt on their faces. They had originally expected to witness the love and harmony between the emperor and the empress, but now there was only desolation and silence.

Although everyone in the palace knew that the relationship between the emperor and the empress was tense, such a thing was not suitable to be spread outside, so as not to become a laughing stock for others.

So Feng'an found an excuse that the queen was not feeling well and could not attend the banquet, and he generally fooled the guests and ended the banquet hastily.

The Yongchang Marquis' Mansion naturally also learned about the banquet in the palace, and also guessed that there might be a conflict between Xie Yaoqing and Xiao Chengxu, so Xie Yaoqing returned to the Marquis' Mansion in a huff.

However, Xie Yaoqing did not mention a word about Xiao Chengxu, and they had no way to ask him, so they pretended to be ignorant and found an excuse to turn down the palace banquet.

As night fell, around 12:00 p.m., Xiao Chengxu suddenly appeared at the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion.

Although there was no grand ceremony for the emperor to travel, and he just wore casual clothes and traveled in a low-key manner, the necessary etiquette was still indispensable. Marquis Yongchang led his two sons to respectfully welcome Xiao Chengxu into the mansion and asked the servants to serve tea to the guest.

"My Lord, there is no need to be so polite. I came here to take the Queen back to the palace."

Xiao Chengxu made no secret of his intention and stated it directly.

He knew clearly that Xie Yaoqing was dissatisfied with him and disliked him, but he still shamelessly appeared in front of Xie Yaoqing.

There is still some time, and I can celebrate a birthday for you.

After Marquis Yongchang said some polite words, he immediately sent a servant to the backyard to invite Xie Yaoqing to come out and meet him.

After Xie Yaoqing learned about this, he didn't even raise his eyelids, and said to Zhiyu and others expressionlessly: "Pack up your things and prepare to return to the palace."

Since Xiao Chengxu had already arrived, she had to go back to the palace even if it was just for show. Otherwise, if Xiao Chengxu talked nonsense in front of his father and others and said something he shouldn't have said, then it would be difficult for her to explain clearly.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to play along and make Dad and eldest brother and third brother mistakenly think that she was just temporarily upset with Xiao Chengxu. After all, there have been similar situations before. Since it was just a momentary anger and Xiao Chengxu has given in, she should take this opportunity to back down.
