"But he promised me that he would help you!" Yao Jinse murmured, her beautiful eyes full of confusion.
Liang Chaozong sneered, "You silly woman, that was just something he said to coax you. How could you take it seriously?"
"Today you begged him to find me a vacancy, and you saw his reaction. Can't you really understand his attitude?"
Yao Jinse bit her lower lip, lowered her eyes and said nothing.
She is not stupid and has high emotional intelligence. How could she not understand what Han Lie meant today?
It's just that she was still deceiving herself.
It's just that she didn't want to believe it.
"Jinse!" Liang Chaozong grabbed Yao Jinse's shoulders and looked into her eyes intently.
"Now, there is only one way to make your father's attitude towards you and me change drastically, and to make him regard you as the apple of his eye. And regard me as his greatest hope."
Yao Jinse's eyes lit up, "What's the solution?"
Liang Chaozong lowered his voice and said coldly: "Give his only son to..."
Having said that, Liang Chaozong made a knife gesture and gestured at his neck.
Yao Jinse shuddered and lowered her voice, "Kill him?!"
Liang Chaozong sneered: "No poison, no man!"
"For the sake of my great cause of restoring my country, what does killing a few people matter?"
…
Daxia Palace.
Ever since the decision was made to go on a diplomatic mission to Dai Viet, the Queen has been busy preparing things for the Second Prince and Xia Miaoyuan for many days.
In Kunning Palace, maids and eunuchs were busy going back and forth at the Queen's orders. The whole Kunning Palace was in a state of chaos.
Worried about the big difference in climate between Dai Viet and Daxia, the queen specially prepared a lot of clothes, filling two large boxes.
She was also worried that Xia Miaoyuan would not be used to going out, so she packed up her daughter's daily necessities and put them in a box.
Worried that they might not be used to the food, I also prepared some dry cakes that could be stored for many days.
In addition, the queen also specially asked Xia Miaoyuan to take the martial arts expert Sang Qi and the attentive Nanny Li with her.
The situation was almost the same with the Second Prince. The Queen personally went to the Second Prince's residence several times and personally took the servants to pack up the Second Prince's things. Only then did she feel relieved.
The brother and sister packed their belongings into six large boxes.
Now that everything was packed, all he had to do was wait for departure. Xia Miaoyuan would check the luggage he was going to take with him every day and look forward to his mission to Dai Viet.
One day, she opened the box and checked the toys inside. As soon as she took out a chicken feather shuttlecock, the chubby little orange rushed over, meowed, and took the shuttlecock away.
"Little Orange, come back! You naughty cat!" Xia Miaoyuan chased out.
However, Little Orange had four legs and could run much faster than Xia Miaoyuan. In the blink of an eye, he ran away.
The palace maid in the courtyard chuckled and said, "Your Highness, Xiaojuzi must have heard that you were going out and was reluctant to let you go."
Hearing this, Xia Miaoyuan's mind suddenly flashed with the scene of Xiaojuzi and Maomao living with him day and night.
[Oh, if we go to Dai Viet, I might not be able to see Xiaojuzi and Maomao for several months.]
[I can't bring my father, mother, and eldest brother with me. There's nothing I can do about it. But as for pets, if you want, you can still bring them.]
Thinking of this, Xia Miaoyuan ran to the queen and begged, "Mother, I want to take Xiaojuzi and Maomao to Dayue with me."
The Queen looked at her daughter in disbelief. "The mission to Dai Viet is a long one. How could you possibly bring pets with you? If you did, it would surely be very troublesome on the way."
"Mother... Mother... Just let me take care of them! They will miss me when I'm not around..." Xia Miaoyuan grabbed the corner of the queen's robe and shook it shamelessly.
"What is Miao'er doing?"
Suddenly, the deep voice of Emperor Mingxi sounded.
The Queen bowed and smiled as she said, "Miao'er is worried that she will miss her pets, so she wants to take her cat and deer with her to Dai Viet."
Xia Miaoyuan blinked her innocent eyes and begged Emperor Mingxi, "Father, can I take them with me?"
"I promise to take good care of them."
Emperor Mingxi lovingly picked up his daughter and kissed her rosy little face. "Of course! It's not a big deal."
"Ohhh! That's great! Long live father!"
Xia Miaoyuan jumped into the yard and cheered around Maomao.
Maomao, who was concentrating on chewing jasmine flowers, looked up at Xia Miaoyuan blankly with a confused look on his face.
Just then, Xiao Luzi hurried in.
"Your Majesty, a young eunuch just came with a message saying that Chunyu Yilan in the Heavenly Prison wants to see Your Majesty."
[Huh? That Oetsu shrine maiden's apprentice is still imprisoned in the Sky Prison?]
Emperor Mingxi's eyes lit up, and he whispered, "Alas, I've been so busy lately that I almost forgot about her."
Xia Miaoyuan: Haha, Daddy, you are really great.
Emperor Mingxi held his forehead, looking a little embarrassed, and said seriously: "Move to the Heavenly Prison!"
Xia Miaoyuan hurriedly grabbed the corner of Emperor Mingxi's robe and said, "Father, I also want to go see Chunyu Yilan!"
Emperor Mingxi scratched his daughter's nose, leaned over and picked her up: "Okay, let's go together."
The father and daughter got on the carriage and arrived at the prison in less than half an hour.
When the jailer heard that the emperor was coming to the prison in person, he came out to greet him long ago. When he saw the little girl in the arms of Emperor Mingxi, he was stunned at first, then realized that it must be Princess Anguo, and he knelt down to pay his respects.
"Take me to see Chunyu Yilan quickly!" Emperor Mingxi said directly.
The jailer led the way and took them to the most secure cell in the Sky Prison.
Inside the cell, there was a young girl sitting.
The girl was very dirty, but she had no injuries and looked in good spirits.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! You are finally here!" Chunyu Yilan shouted in surprise when she saw a man in a bright yellow robe appear outside the cell.
"Your Majesty!" She knelt down hurriedly.
Emperor Mingxi didn't even ask her to stand up. He said calmly, "You are quite honest. I have verified everything you said last time. You didn't lie."
Chunyu Yilan excitedly raised her head and said excitedly, "Since Your Majesty has verified my words, it means that I sincerely want to be loyal to the emperor."
"Your Majesty, can you please release me? I am willing to serve Daxia, the imperial court, and you, Your Majesty, at my utmost service!"
Xia Miaoyuan looked at Chunyu Yilan with great interest. "Wow, this girl is quite insightful! She's quite aware of current events!"
Yes, yes.
Chunyu Yilan is a direct disciple of the Great Yue witch and is skilled in witchcraft, which is exactly what we in Great Xia lack.
[If Chunyu Yilan were to be recruited, the gap in the art of witchcraft would be filled.]
"Also, if Dayue uses witchcraft on us again in the future, we won't be afraid with her as a professional. It only takes a few minutes to remove the witchcraft."
