Chapter 66 A sick woman is really hard to please!
The Duke's Mansion.
Looking at the gleaming golden words "Duke of Ten Thousand Kingdoms' Mansion" on the plaque, Shen Ruoli hugged Xie Xuanyin's neck and asked in surprise, "Xie Xuanyin, what do you mean by this?"
She wanted to go home, specifically to the Crown Prince's residence!
That scoundrel actually sent her straight back to the Duke's mansion!
She has been reborn for over a month and has even visited the Prince of Chu's residence, but she has not returned to the Duke's residence.
Xie Xuanyin was also a reborn person. Why didn't this man use his brain to think about why she didn't want to come back?
Isn't it because she feels guilty towards her father and mother, and towards everyone in the Duke's mansion, and is ashamed to face them?!
She had been avoiding her parents for a month and hadn't figured out how to face them when Xie Xuanyin sent her back.
And right now she's so weak, she's not even wearing shoes, and her clothes are disheveled...
He just sent it back like that?!
Shen Ruoli shook Xie Xuanyin, "Go back quickly!"
Before Xie Xuanyin knocked on the door, before the people of the Duke's mansion knew she had returned, and before her father and mother were alerted!
"Don't you want to go home?"
Xie Xuanyin raised an eyebrow.
A sick woman is indeed difficult to please.
"I've already escorted you back, why are you so ungrateful?"
"I want to go home, back to the Crown Prince's residence, back to our home! Not back to my parents' home!"
Chen Ruoli gritted her teeth in anger.
It was clearly his misunderstanding that led him to send her back to the Duke's mansion on his own initiative, so why did he act as if he was saying, "I've already sent you back, don't be ungrateful"?
"I know you're tired, but please bear with it for now."
Luckily, Xie Xuanyin is strong; his arms must have been sore from the journey back.
Afraid of angering Xie Xuanyin, he simply threw her on the ground...
Shen Ruoli hurriedly said, "I can't let Father and Mother see me like this, they'll worry! What if they take action against the Song family to avenge me? Wouldn't that just make them enemies for no reason?"
"My elder brother told me a few days ago that in order to avoid causing trouble for His Highness the Crown Prince, Father instructed the Shen family to keep a low profile and not to make a fuss."
The Sun family, Empress Sun's maternal clan, is the best example!
If it weren't for the Sun family, Xie Yuanhe wouldn't have been able to win the struggle for the throne!
Outsiders didn't know why Empress Sun had been unable to conceive for so many years after marrying Xie Yuanhe.
After her rebirth, Chen Ruo's heart is as clear as a mirror!
Xie Yuanhe was wary of the Sun family, fearing that after Empress Sun gave birth to a son, the Sun family would become arrogant and support the young emperor, so he never dared to let Empress Sun get pregnant!
"I understand the principle that a tall tree catches the wind."
Shen Ruoli said softly, "So let's go back. It won't be too late for me to see Father and Mother after this storm has passed."
Xie Xuanyin's gaze gradually became complicated.
He hadn't expected that Shen Ruoli and the Shen family would consider things so far ahead!
He was naturally wary and cautious of the Shen family, but he never expected that the Shen family was also afraid of him!
What he didn't expect was that Shen Ruoli would treat the Crown Prince's residence as "their home".
"Hurry up and go! What are you all standing around for!"
Fearing they would be discovered, Shen Ruoli quickly shook him again.
Xie Xuanyin then put aside his thoughts, turned around, and carried Shen Ruoli back to the Crown Prince's residence.
This woman looks so slender, but I didn't expect her to be so heavy!
Xie Xuanyin felt his arm tighten, but he couldn't let Shen Ruoli see it, lest she mock him again.
Even so, Shen Ruoli still noticed that he was quietly relaxing his arm.
"Xie Xuanyin, what do you mean? Am I that heavy?"
"It's as heavy as a stone, don't you think?"
Xie Xuanyin countered with a question.
Shen Ruoli's face flushed. "Then you need to exercise more!"
It was just a casual remark, but she never expected that because of this "unintentional remark," a certain man would get up early every day to exercise, which caused quite a few "rumors."
That's a story for another time.
After two days and two nights of tireless work by the Imperial Medical Academy, they finally managed to concoct the antidote for the beauty.
After being cured of the poison, Shen Ruoli was lively and energetic again.
At the same time, Xie Xuansong finally returned to Beijing!
He had assumed that his return to Beijing was on Xie Yuanhe's orders.
After all, Song Yanghong had previously sent him a message saying that everything had been arranged, the emperor had given his consent, and he would be able to return to the capital soon.
Moreover, although Feng Qing went to Fuzhou on business, he did not show up.
Therefore, Xie Xuansong had no idea that his return to the capital was ordered by Xie Xuanyin, not Xie Yuanhe!
He was in a good mood and full of dreams for the future!
As the carriage entered the city gate, he couldn't resist lifting the curtain.
Looking at the bustling streets and hearing the familiar clamor of voices, he took a deep breath. "I'm finally back! This is the taste of freedom!"
It's the taste of power!
"The Crown Prince believes that if I am left in Fuzhou, I will never be able to return to the capital."
Recalling Xie Xuanyin's words, "He may not return to the capital without being summoned," Xie Xuansong sneered, then gritted his teeth, "Unfortunately, his words don't count!"
"He's not even the emperor yet! And I've already returned? How ridiculous!"
Xie Xuansong was smug, but Hongfeng was filled with unease.
For some reason, he always felt that this return to Beijing was not like "gaining freedom," but rather like "going to the execution ground."
"Your Highness..."
"Shut up!"
Seeing the unease on Hongfeng's face, Xie Xuansong glanced at him and said, "I'm in a good mood right now, so shut up if you have any complaints!"
He hates people who spoil the fun.
Although Shen Ruoli was born into a noble family and was beautiful.
Having her is something countless men dream of!
Unfortunately, she was not only numb and boring, but she also constantly acted like an old mother, lecturing him and teaching him how to do things!
Unlike Song Xuerou, who not only wins his favor and flatters him at all times, but also treats him like a god and obeys him in every way!
Therefore, Xie Xuansong was simultaneously pursuing a passionate relationship with Song Xuerou while also not wanting to give up the support of the Shen family, which is why he kept Shen Ruoli hanging on.
Seeing Xie Xuansong frown in displeasure, Ziyan quickly understood what he was thinking.
She nestled gently against his shoulder, "Your Highness, you're back in the capital now, what are you afraid of? Just as you said, the Emperor is still in charge, and the Crown Prince can't do anything to you!"
"As long as the Emperor stands by your side, His Highness the Crown Prince will always be your defeated foe!"
Xie Xuansong liked hearing that!
"It's just a title, so what if he's the Crown Prince?"
He scoffed dismissively.
As soon as he spoke, he feared that someone would overhear and it would reach Xie Xuanyin's ears.
So Xie Xuansong instinctively shut his mouth and nervously pursed his lips.
During his time in Fuzhou, he felt like he was living a life worse than death!
Now that Xie Yuanxun has returned to the capital first, he's ready to vent his anger!
"In a few days it will be the Empress Dowager's birthday, and the Sixth Imperial Uncle will also be coming to the capital. He treated me like that in Fuzhou, so I will give him a taste of his own medicine! I will let him know who is in charge in the capital!"
Once he arrives in the capital, Xie Yuanxun will experience even more of the suffering he endured in Fuzhou!
A hint of hatred flashed in Xie Xuansong's eyes, and he immediately ordered Hongfeng to make arrangements.
Soon, the carriage entered the Chu King's residence.
After two days of treatment, Song Xuerou's condition improved somewhat.
These past two days, her condition has fluctuated wildly, sometimes soaring to the heavens, sometimes plunging into hell, a state of utter misery and unbearable pain.
Despite consulting numerous doctors, none of them could alleviate her pain!
Upon hearing that Xie Xuansong had returned, Song Xuerou was overjoyed and burst into tears, excitedly stepping forward to greet him.
But as soon as she reached the door, she saw Xie Xuansong jump down from the carriage.
Then, a slender and graceful figure slowly stepped down from the carriage...
