The abandoned concubine is charming and charming, and the sickly prince breaks his waist

Chu Yunxiao looked at her like this and a gentle smile appeared on his face unconsciously. He took her to the table and personally took off her cloak.

He said in a gentle and pleasant voice: "I asked the kitchen to make these. They are all your favorites. Come and try them."

Looking at the table full of her favorite dishes, Hua Yaoxue showed a gentle smile on her face. She sat down, picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into her mouth.

"I like it very much, thank you, Your Highness."

Chu Yunxiao smiled and sat opposite her. He picked up a few more dishes for her and smiled gently: "If you like it, eat more. It's only been half a month since we last met, and you've lost a lot of weight."

Hua Yaoxue's face flushed, and she suddenly thought of something. She put down her chopsticks and looked at Chu Yunxiao, asking, "Your Highness, I heard a few days ago that my third sister is pregnant. I wonder if it is true."

Hearing her mention Hua Shu, Chu Yunxiao's face darkened a little, but he still said softly: "It is indeed true."

Hua Yaoxue looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Then is it true that Concubine Hui was demoted because of her?"

Hearing this, Chu Yunxiao's eyes turned cold. He put down his chopsticks and said, "This is also true."

Seeing his grim expression, Hua Yaoxue also put down her chopsticks, walked to his side and said softly: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I didn't know she would do such a thing."

Chu Yunxiao originally wanted to hold her hand and tell her it was okay, but suddenly he remembered something and looked at Hua Yaoxue with a serious expression.

"Yao Xue, tell me honestly, was it your father who asked her to harm my mother?"

The reason he asked this was that he thought that Hua Shu was arranged by Hua Huaiyuan and the prince to enter the palace in order to help the prince get rid of them.

The Queen had previously told his mother that Hua Shu became Chu Hengzhi's person after entering the palace. Now that he thought about it, it was most likely a play between the Queen and Hua Shu.

Although Concubine Li Shu and Hua Shu had quarreled twice, Concubine Li Shu was not severely punished. He heard from people in the palace that she and Hua Shu had been in close contact during this period.

Thinking of this, he felt that Hua Shu had harmed his mother because Hua Huaiyuan and the Queen had asked her to do so.

But he overlooked one point, that is, the emperor really did order the execution of Concubine Yi, the queen's right-hand man.

Hua Yaoxue was stunned for a moment when she heard him ask this, then she shook her head and said, "Your Highness, I can swear that it was not my father who asked her to do this."

After she finished speaking, she sighed softly and said, "Your Highness, you don't know that since my third sister entered the palace, she has become a completely different person. Not only does she not listen to my father's orders, she has even secretly surrendered to Chu Hengzhi."

Chu Yunxiao didn't say anything. He believed Hua Yaoxue. After all, it was she who told him that Hua Shu was the queen and the prince's wife.

But he always felt that the murder of his mother was not something that a little girl like Hua Shu could have planned.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Hua Yaoxue hesitated for a moment, then sat on his lap, put her arms around his neck, and rested her head on his chest.

"Your Highness, I know you are very angry because your mother was punished, but I can swear that this matter has nothing to do with my father."

After saying that, she hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "Although my father has always secretly supported the prince, my heart has long been given to you. If he really wants to do something to you and your mother, I will definitely choose you."

Chu Yunxiao's expression softened when he heard her say that. He put his hand on her waist and smiled gently, "I believe you."

Hua Yaoxue showed a gentle smile on her face and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

"The food is getting cold, let's eat first." After saying that, Hua Yaoxue was about to get up, but Chu Yunxiao held her up and walked towards the bed.

He lowered his head to her ear and coaxed her, "I want to eat you first rather than eating."

"Your Highness." Hua Yaoxue buried her head in his arms, her cheeks blushing.

Chu Yunxiao smiled and put her on the bed, then leaned over and kissed her lips, reached out to her waist and unbuckled her belt.

The bed curtains fell, covering up the spring love.

About an incense stick of time later, Hua Yaoxue, wearing a cloak, got on the carriage from the back door of Baoyue Tower and headed for the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Not long after she left, Chu Yunxiao also dressed neatly and returned to the Third Prince's Mansion.

Hua Yaoxue got off the carriage at the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion and entered the mansion just like when she came.

After entering the mansion, she took off her cloak and handed it to the maid beside her, then walked towards the study.

There was no conversation along the way, and soon they arrived at the study door. She went forward and knocked on the door herself.

Hua Huaiyuan's low voice soon came from the room: "Who?"

Hua Yaoxue said respectfully: "Father, it's my daughter."

Hearing that it was her, Hua Huaiyuan's voice softened a bit: "Come in."

Hua Yaoxue pushed the door open and closed it. She walked forward and bowed to Hua Huaiyuan.

"Father."

Hua Huaiyuan stepped forward and helped her up personally, and asked, "Have you gone to see the Third Prince?"

Hua Yaoxue nodded and told Chu Yunxiao that he suspected that he had asked Hua Shu to harm Concubine Qi Hui.

Hua Huaiyuan's brows were furrowed after hearing this. Logically, Chu Yunxiao knew that Hua Shu was now Chu Hengzhi's person, so why would he doubt himself?

After thinking for a while, he looked at Hua Yaoxue and said, "Yaoxue, calm him down first."

Hua Yaoxue nodded and said, "My daughter knows what to do."

Hearing this, Hua Huaiyuan smiled and said, "As expected of my daughter, Hua Huaiyuan. She is much better than those bastards."

Hua Yaoxue knew he was referring to Hua Shu, she smiled but did not answer.

In terms of appearance, she cannot compare to Hua Shu, but in terms of status and talent, Hua Shu will never be able to catch up with her in his lifetime.

……

in the palace.

Chonghua Palace.

After much thought, Empress Liu decided to ask someone to call Chu Yunfeng over so that she could test his attitude.

Soon, Chu Yunfeng came in with a eunuch, and he knelt down and bowed to Empress Liu as he did in the past.

"My son, I pay my respects to my mother."

Empress Liu personally stepped forward to help him up, with a loving smile on her face: "Hurry up, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are feeling better now."

Chu Yunfeng covered his mouth and coughed a few times, then smiled palely and said, "Thank you for your concern, mother. I'm afraid this illness of mine will only be cured on the day I die."

Empress Liu heard this and gently scolded him, "Don't talk nonsense. You are still so young. You will get better soon."

Chu Yunfeng smiled palely and said nothing. Empress Liu had someone serve him tea, and after checking his seat, he returned to his seat and sat down.

After Chu Yunfeng drank the tea, she asked tentatively: "Feng'er, tell me honestly why you want to assassinate your father."

Chu Yunfeng paused while holding the tea. He subconsciously avoided her gaze and said hesitantly, "I did not try to assassinate my father."

Upon hearing this, Empress Liu frowned and asked, "If you are not going to assassinate your father, why are you in Lanyue Pavilion so late at night?"

Chu Yunfeng lowered his head subconsciously and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Empress Liu said in a serious tone, "Feng'er, you don't even want to tell your mother the truth?"

"I don't have any." Chu Yunfeng said this and fell silent again.

After a moment, he looked up at Empress Liu and said something that completely panicked her.
