Chapter 271 Xie Yao said no, but her body was honest

Xie Yao spoke in a high-sounding manner, but...she convinced the princess very well.

The eldest princess herself had once been a person in power, and although more than 20 years had passed, there were some things she had not forgotten.

She naturally knew what was the best option in the current situation, but no matter how selfish the emperor was, it seemed understandable after he fell into a coma.

The eldest princess' expression had completely softened, and the coldness in her eyes had subsided. "I have wronged the prince over the years."

Xie Yao lowered her eyes and remained silent.

She knew how to respond to this, just saying that the prince was not wronged or something...but she couldn't say it!

Why shouldn’t her Highness feel aggrieved?

Her Highness is very, very, very aggrieved!

Over the years, he has only the title of crown prince but not his powers, and is like a decoration.

The one in power is the emperor, so naturally the eldest princess cannot be blamed. It would have been fine if the eldest princess had not said such words, but saying them now was like telling Xie Yao clearly.

The princess knew all of the prince's grievances... and acquiesced to them.

The eldest princess continued, "Don't blame your father for this..."

"Yaoyao dare not." Xie Yao finally spoke, "Father is wise and powerful. What he thinks and what he worries about must have deep meanings, which Yaoyao cannot guess at will."

At this point, Xie Yao added: "Besides, my father has a special affection for my mother. For many years, he has kept the six palaces empty for her. His true love is touching. Yaoyao believes that my father must love Your Highness very much in his heart."

Xie Yao had a look of understanding and admiration, but in fact she was paying close attention to the eldest princess's expression while speaking, making sure not to miss any details.

After Xie Yao said this, the eldest princess's expression was a little strange, but the strangeness only flashed for a moment. The eldest princess smiled and said nothing.

"Aunt." Xie Yao said in an intimate manner, holding the eldest princess' arm and said, "Why don't you tell me about my father and mother."

"You may not know that Your Highness has always missed your mother and has always wanted to know something about her past. It's just..."

Xie Yao's words sounded full of grievance, but there was no need to explain it too clearly, as the princess would be able to imagine it herself.

At this moment, the eldest princess imagined Xiao Ji's pitiful look as he wanted to know the answer but was afraid to ask.

The princess was not going to say anything at first, but now she softened her heart and sighed softly, saying, "In this case, I will tell you."

Xie Yao smiled immediately, and happily served tea to the princess, pretending to listen attentively and looking at her eagerly.

Seeing that Xie Yao really wanted to listen, the princess believed it a little more.

"Your mother was spoiled by the Wei family since she was young, but she is not arrogant at all and has a gentle personality..."

When the eldest princess talked about the past, she looked outside the palace with a faint smile on her face and remembrance and longing in her eyes.

"Later... she married the emperor, who doted on her so much that he created six harems just for her and only loved her. Not long after, she became pregnant..."

The eldest princess looked at Xie Yao and said, "She is pregnant with the prince."

"But things didn't go as planned. Her health deteriorated day by day after she became pregnant. By the time she gave birth, she was emaciated and so thin that it was heartbreaking."

The eldest princess' voice was full of regret, "But she really cared about the prince. She was weak after the prince was born, but she always accompanied him personally."

"But she was only twenty days old when her body reached its limit. Before she died, she begged the emperor to make Ji'er the crown prince, and then she passed away."

"Later..." The princess paused and said, "The emperor lost his beloved, so he listened to the slander of the imperial teacher and ignored the prince."

"I know this has wronged the prince, but you should also understand the emperor."

Xie Yao listened to these words without any ripples in her heart, but her face showed various expressions according to the eldest princess's words.

These things...she knew them a long time ago.

The reason why she pretended not to know at this moment was that she wanted to see the eldest princess' attitude when she mentioned her mother.

Judging from the eldest princess’ words today, it seems that she is unaware that the late queen was poisoned by witchcraft?

Or maybe he knew but didn't tell her.

Xie Yao raised the corner of her lips, "Don't worry, aunt, there are no parents in the world who are not wrong, and Your Highness also admires the emperor very much in his heart."

The princess heaved a sigh of relief, and her heart settled down. "Now that you are also parents, I think you can understand the feelings of being a parent better than I do."

Xie Yao responded with a yes.

Precisely because she and His Highness have both become parents, they are more certain: they are both children who are not loved by their fathers.

…

Xiao's house.

Ever since Xie Yuru came back from the Prince's Mansion yesterday and gave him a positive answer, Xiao Hong reluctantly gave up the beauty he had been loving recently.

Always pay attention to the news from the Imperial Palace and the Prince's Mansion.

I heard early in the morning that Xie Yao had entered the palace.

Xie Yuru immediately said, "Your Highness, I'll tell you this! My elder sister must have come to the palace to talk to the prince about this matter, so you can put your mind at ease."

Xiao Hong nodded in agreement, and pulled Xie Yuru over, holding her in his arms, "When this is done, I will reward you handsomely!"

Xie Yuru leaned in Xiao Hong's arms, jealousy flashed in the depths of her eyes. Xie Yao was so concerned about His Highness's affairs, it seemed that she really cared about His Highness...

This won’t do!

She couldn't let Xie Yao take away her place in His Highness's heart.

Xie Yuru raised her hand and hooked it around Xiao Hong's neck, looking up at her, "Your Highness, in your heart... Ru'er is the most important?"

Xiao Hong's eyes flashed with disdain, but he said, "Of course, in my heart, Ru'er is the most important."

Xie Yuru smiled happily and said, "Then Ruer will always be the most important person in your heart."

"Okay, okay." Xiao Hong smiled and scratched Xie Yuru's nose, but the smile did not reach his eyes. "Ruer is always the most important."

The two of them waited in the house for news from the palace, and they waited until the afternoon.

Xiao Hong's patience was about to run out, there was almost no smile left on his face, and Xie Yuru was also thrown aside by him.

Xie Yuru secretly cursed Xie Yao for her incompetence, but did not dare to say anything more. She just sat carefully next to Xiao Hong.

Finally... footsteps were heard outside the door.

The servants of the Xiao residence hurried in, "Second Prince, she has left the palace! The Crown Princess has left the palace!"

Xiao Hong stood up suddenly, staring at the servant with burning eyes, "Did anyone order the eunuch to come to this palace?"

The servant hurriedly said, "To reply to the Second Prince, yes!"

“Hahahahaha!” Xiao Hong immediately laughed out loud, “Okay, okay!”

Xie Yuru also hurriedly flattered, "Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations, Your Highness!"

Xiao Hong looked around and said, "Quick, help me change my clothes." Now that the order has been issued, he will prepare to move into the Yangxin Palace!

He also didn't expect that Xie Yao had rejected him so firmly before. He was afraid that she was still attracted to him in her heart!

Oh, woman!
