Xie Yao saw Suqin off and turned back into the Yangxin Palace.

The emperor had been staring at the entrance of the Yangxin Palace, his eyes full of anticipation. When he saw Xie Yao's figure appear, he immediately looked behind her.

no one!

The emperor's expectation froze on his face, his expression somewhat disbelieving...

What about people?

Where are the eldest princess’s people?

His doubts were too obvious, and Xie Yao saw it at a glance. She smiled at the emperor and said, "No need to wait, there is no one."

The emperor didn't believe it.

How could the eldest sister not care about him? She must have been deceived by traitors like Xie Yao and Xiao Ji!

With the eldest sister's intelligence, she will definitely react quickly and save him!

When……

"My aunt is still ill. She heard something happened in the palace and sent someone to inquire about the situation." Xie Yao explained with a smile, "I told Aunt Suqin that everything is fine."

"Aunt Suqin is now... rushing back to take care of my aunt."

Xie Yao's voice was gentle and she had a smile on her face, but every word she said was like a needle, piercing the emperor's heart.

Sick...

If he didn't have that...

But soon, the emperor changed his mind.

In the final analysis, the eldest sister simply didn't love him as much as before. Otherwise, why would she just ask a question? She would definitely go to the palace to check on his condition in person.

The emperor's expression kept changing, and Xie Yao and Xiao Ji looked on coldly.

"Aunt." Xie Yao looked at Concubine Shu, "It's late at night, and there's still a lot of time to go. I'll take you back to rest."

She also wanted to give Xiao Ji some alone time.

Shu Fei's originally tense heart relaxed slightly because of Xie Yao's words. After hearing the words, she nodded and said, "Okay."

She really needed to calm down.

If she stayed here any longer, she was afraid she would lose control and kill the dog emperor!

Concubine Shu was too excited just now and her body was still a little weak. Xie Yao helped her leave the main hall of the Yangxin Palace, but did not go to the Yanx Palace immediately.

Xie Yao took the man to the side hall and ordered someone to bring him medicine for the wound.

The side hall was brightly lit.

Xie Yao ordered everyone to leave, then picked up Concubine Shu's bloody finger and said, "If Xiaowu saw this, he would definitely be heartbroken."

Concubine Shu's expression was slightly stiff. She didn't feel any pain when she was emotionally excited just now, but now she felt a piercing pain.

"Thank you for your help." Concubine Shu's voice was slightly hoarse.

Xie Yao pursed her lips and smiled, her voice soft, "Aunt, it may be a little painful, please bear with it."

As she applied medicine to Concubine Shu, she said, "Aunt, the past is over. Now that we have avenged our mother, it's time to move on."

"I believe this is what Mother wishes as well."

Mentioning the late queen, Concubine Shu's expression became extremely complicated, "This palace... I... I have been..."

For so many years, she has been sorry to her sister.

"Aunt." Xie Yao interrupted Concubine Shu's choking voice and soothed her softly, "I'm sorry for wronging you over the years."

In order to find out the truth and for revenge, it is unfair to commit yourself to an old man in your prime youth.

Concubine Shu didn't expect Xie Yao to say that. She was stunned for a second and then looked away.

Tears fell silently.

Xie Yao didn't say anything else, she just accompanied him silently. After a long time, Concubine Shu finally calmed down, her eyes red and her voice slightly hoarse, "What kind of grievance is this?"

"If it can exchange for my sister's safety..." She is not afraid of any injustice she suffers.

Xie Yao sent Concubine Shu to the Yanxi Palace. The Fifth Prince was still waiting for her. Seeing the two of them, he hurriedly bowed, "Mother, Imperial Concubine, and Sister-in-law."

The fifth prince has grown a lot taller recently, and his face, which had been pretending to be mature and stern, suddenly couldn't hold back when he saw the red eyes of Concubine Shu.

He quickly stepped forward and asked, "Mother, what's wrong with you? Who bullied you?"

Just as he finished speaking, the Fifth Prince saw Concubine Shu's ten fingers wrapped in gauze and asked, "Mother, what happened to your hand?"

"It's okay, mother is fine, and no one will bully you." Concubine Shu reached out and hugged the fifth prince, holding him in her arms.

The hatred in her heart was instantly suppressed the moment she saw the fifth prince!

The only thing she did not regret about entering the palace was giving birth to Xiaowu.

The fifth prince was still a little worried, but Concubine Shu had already changed the subject and pulled him into the Yanx Palace.

Seeing this, Xie Yao naturally did not follow him, but turned around and left the Yanx Palace.

Just left not long ago.

She saw a figure walking towards her. In the thick night, even though it was just an outline, Xie Yao could recognize it at a glance.

That was her highness.

She quickened her pace, and so did Xiao Ji, and finally the two of them ran and hugged each other.

"Your Highness."

Xie Yao raised her hand and patted Xiao Ji on the back, "Why are you here?"

Xiao Ji didn't say anything, but held Xie Yao tighter and tighter, wishing he could embed her into his body.

Xie Yao noticed something and stopped talking. She raised her hand and gently patted Xiao Ji's back.

She probably knew what His Highness was thinking.

The emperor is Xiao Ji's father. Even though Xiao Ji never had any expectations of his father, their identities are different after all.

As a father, the emperor spoke those vicious words and curses, and even blamed Xiao Ji for the death of the late queen.

How could Xiao Ji have no idea at all?

"Your Highness." Xie Yao's voice was soft, "Your Highness was never to blame for this matter. He was the one who was wrong."

"I'm also a mother. If I had to choose between me and my child, I would..."

Before Xie Yao could finish her words, Xiao Ji covered her mouth. His eyes were very bright in the night, with tiny flickering lights in them.

"No, there is no such option." Xiao Ji's voice was filled with anxiety and fear. "There will never be such a choice."

He couldn't accept losing Xie Yao.

"Okay." Xie Yao smiled and said to Xiao Ji, "There will never be such a choice. My children and I will always be with Your Highness."

"I just want to say that as a mother myself, I understand the Queen Mother's decision. Your Highness, you are a child that the Queen Mother looks forward to and loves very much."

"So we must not be easily defeated by his words. Only in this way can we be worthy of our mother."

Xiao Ji said nothing and held Xie Yao in his arms.

Xie Yao lowered her eyelids slightly and silently apologized in her heart.

She just lied to Xiao Ji.

If she had to choose between her life and her unborn child...she would choose herself!

The late queen's choice was great, she respected and even admired it, but she would not make the same choice.

She said these words...just to comfort Xiao Ji.

But there was one thing she said that was absolutely correct: all this was caused by the emperor, and the emperor was the real culprit who should pay the price.

After a long while, Xiao Ji finally hummed, "I won't take his words to heart."

The emperor's words would only make him hate the emperor even more!

Xie Yao breathed a sigh of relief. "Your Highness, how is the situation at the Yangxin Palace?"
