“…”

I was so angry three days ago, and now I feel even more frustrated!

Wanruo was about to explode, unable to bear it any longer, but Su Yan came over and said to Xie Xianyu, "I have something I want to discuss with you."

Xie Xianyu nodded and turned to look at Wanruo: "I'll be back soon."

Then he got up and left.

Wanruo had to swallow back her anger!

Su Yan walked outside the hall and said in a deep voice: "I have something I want to ask for your help."

Xie Xianyu glared at him: "What about Chen Qinghan?"

Su Yan pursed her lips and turned her head to look elsewhere: "As long as Prince Xuan is imprisoned, even though he is already terminally ill, she also feels that Prince Xuan's mansion is still not safe. Even if the Queen and Prince Xuan are powerful, they can still control her at will."

"Aren't you too lazy to care?"

Su Yan pretended not to hear his sarcasm and said, "If Your Majesty is seriously ill, it would be better to let the concubines in Prince Xuan's palace who are pregnant with children go to Ganye Temple to practice Buddhism with uncut hair, and pray for Your Majesty."

Even though the temple was simple and austere, it was a royal temple, guarded by the Imperial Guards and would not be interfered with by the Queen and Prince Xuan. At least it was safe, and this was the only way for her to escape from Prince Xuan's mansion.

"You've been very thoughtful." Xie Xianyu didn't bother to say more. "It's a great opportunity to mention this to the Crown Prince on the day of His Majesty's birthday."

No one would pay attention to a group of concubines without children, but there was no way that Prince Xuan and the emperor's grandson would leave Prince Xuan's palace.

"good."

Xie Xianyu continued, "Prince Xuan's corruption case is under investigation at the Dali Temple, and the investigation has already traced it back to the Chen family of Yuhang, suspected of embezzling hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. The Chen family has been clamoring to see you from the imperial prison, apparently hoping to plead for mercy. What are your plans?"

Su Yan's eyes were gloomy, and he pursed his lips tightly: "What does it have to do with me? The Chen family ruined my future. Do I really have to care about their life or death?"

"Then why do you care whether Chen Qinghan lives or dies?"

Su Yan was stumped and couldn't answer for a moment.

Xie Xianyu glanced at him and said, "If you can't let it go, go find it." Then he turned and walked into the hall.

Su Yan stood frozen on the ground, his face tense, his hands clenched into fists in his sleeves, unable to open them.

Why did he go to her? It was obvious that she owed him something, that she had let him down.

But till today, she has never said sorry to him once, she has never even begged him once, not even for the Chen family, for her own survival, why would she beg him once?

After the palace banquet, Xie Xianyu took Wanruo out of the palace.

When he walked out of Ninghui Palace, he happened to run into Zhu Jia who was also planning to leave the palace.

"Master Xie," Zhu Jia stepped forward and greeted. "Just now in the inner hall, Master Xie's words were so insightful. I truly admire them. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered me to cooperate with Master Xie, and I will do my utmost to assist."

Xie Xianyu nodded: "Okay."

Zhu Jia was stunned for a moment, then quickly asked, "Should we discuss the matter of the Prince of Zhennan further?"

"If there is any unusual movement, I will send someone to notify you."

Xie Xianyu took Wanruo and left.

Zhu Jia froze to the ground, his expression suddenly becoming somewhat ugly.

Xie Xianyu pulled Wanruo out of the palace and onto the carriage heading back home. He then asked her, "Are you relieved now?"

Wanruo raised her eyes and met his lacquered eyes. His eyes were dim, but seemed to conceal a hint of pride.

She turned away and said, "Who cares about you?"

But somehow, a hidden joy quietly spread from my heart, which was filled with anger.

He lowered his eyes and saw a flicker in her eyes, her eyebrows slightly raised, and she was pretending to be nice to him, but she couldn't fool him.

She seemed to be happy.

He held her face with one hand and asked her to turn her head and look at him: "I have done what you want, you should also let me do what you want for once."

Wanruo blinked and asked him sincerely, "How do you want to be happy?"

"I'll be on top of you tonight."

Wanruo was stunned for a moment before she finally reacted, her face flushing red. "Xie Xianyu!"

She shouldn't have any expectations of him!

That night, the noise gradually died down around midnight. Wanruo lay on her side in the quilt, her face flushed, and she slept softly.

Suddenly she felt a warm hand touching her waist. She shuddered and tried to move away immediately.

He coaxed her gently, "I won't touch you. I'll apply medicine on you."

There was a bruise on her waist, caused by him pinching her. She refused to press it, so he coaxed her into pressing it in the middle of the night. Unexpectedly, he used a little too much force, and her delicate skin turned blue at the slightest exertion.

He picked up some medicated oil and rubbed it on her waist. She didn't have the energy to scold him and could only let him do it.
