Chapter 392 Something is wrong with the princess!
Xie Yao turned her head and saw Hu Yanyu's eyes fixed on her. It was obvious that Hu Yanyu was waiting for her.
Xie Yao stopped and looked at Huyan Yu.
The two looked at each other. Hu Yanyu didn't say much, but just called out, "Empress."
Her eyes were full of life, and she said nothing, yet it seemed as if she had said everything.
"Why is the princess still here?" Xiao Ji frowned.
Hu Yanyu half lowered his head, revealing his slender neck, "I'm looking for the Queen."
Xiao Ji narrowed his eyes slightly but remained silent.
Whether to meet or not, the choice is in Xie Yao's hands, and he will not make the decision on his own.
A moment later, in the Yangxin Palace.
Xie Yao sat down, looked at Hu Yanyu, and said, "Princess, please sit down."
Although Huyan Yu's posture and eyes were still gentle this time, there was less pretentious flattery in his eyes, and he looked much more pleasing to the eye.
"Princess, why did you come to see me?" Xie Yao asked directly.
It was late, and it was time for the family to have dinner.
She didn't have much time to waste.
Hu Yanyu was silent for a moment, then said, "I want to ask the Queen to save me."
Huyan Yu looked at Xie Yao with sincerity in his eyes.
Same words, but her posture was completely different.
Xie Yao knew the key after a moment's thought. She thought that Huyan Yu must have known that Lu Qingyun was looking for her.
However, Lu Qingyun had just come to see her today, and Huyan Yu had already changed his attitude towards her.
Huyan Yu is...quite well-informed.
"I have said everything I need to say very clearly. I cannot help you."
If the price of helping another person was to put someone between her and Xiao Ji, then she refused.
Xiao Ji was trying very hard to reject others, how could she hold him back at this time?
Hu Yanyu quickly shook his head and said, "No, Queen, besides the method you used last time, you also have other ways to help me."
Xie Yao raised her eyebrows.
"Please help me rescue my mother. As long as she is free, I won't have to be controlled by the Northern Frontier anymore."
"On the grassland, everyone is fascinated by my beauty, but His Majesty the Emperor didn't even look at me for a second. He loves you very much, and I don't want to come between you and His Majesty the Emperor."
Hu Yanyu spoke very sincerely.
Xie Yao said: "Princess Huyan thinks highly of me. I am afraid that I am powerless to help with the affairs of the Northern Frontier."
“How could it be possible?!” Hu Yanyu said, “The Queen was able to plant spies around my second…brother and still escape unscathed. If the Queen sincerely wants to help me, she will definitely help!”
Xie Yao didn't rush to speak, but looked at Hu Yanyu, "Princess, you know a lot about these things."
Hu Yanyu pursed his lips and said, "As for what happened in the northern border, I have naturally heard a little about it."
"Empress, as a woman, you also know how difficult it is to be a woman, right?"
"The feeling of being forced to marry someone you don't like at all... Of course, Your Majesty, you are very lucky to marry someone you like, but not everyone is as lucky as you."
Xie Yao remained expressionless, but had only one thought in her mind: Huyan Yu was indeed well-informed.
It seems that he has found out everything about her.
Xie Yao looked at Hu Yanyu and said, "Princess, what you said makes sense."
"As a woman, I do understand these things, and I want to lend a hand to the princess."
"Princess, please allow me to consider this matter."
Huyan Yu hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Here is Yu. Thank you, Queen."
Hu Yanyu thanked him and left.
As soon as Huyan Yu left, Zhu Qing couldn't help but ask, "My queen, do you really want to help Princess Huyan?"
Xie Yao said: "Of course... not."
"She was too anxious." Xie Yao said, "When you are anxious, you will inevitably reveal something, like what she did today."
Previously she was still just skeptical about Huyan Yu, but today she was completely sure: there was something wrong with Huyan Yu.
Huyan Yu not only asked for help, but also took the initiative to tell her how to save her, so Xie Yao didn't have to worry about anything.
But this also made Xie Yao keenly suspect that Huyan Yu's target was Wei Chan.
Of course, there should also be Xuan Shu.
But compared to Wei Chan, Xuan Shu has always appeared in everyone's sight, and it doesn't take any effort to confirm him.
And Wei Chan has been working secretly all the time. After all, that's what being Wei Chan is like. You can only hide in the dark, and inevitably you will lose a lot of praise and honor.
Zhu Qing's eyes widened in shock, "Your Majesty, have you known for a long time that there is something wrong with Princess Huyan?"
"Um."
Xie Yao nodded. She had indeed had suspicions for a long time, but it was not because Huyan Yu had any flaws in the past.
Xie Yao just felt that "those who are not of my race must have different hearts."
"Your Majesty is wise!" Zhu Qing praised immediately. Xie Yao looked at her with some amusement and walked out of the Yangxin Palace.
Because Xie Yao met with Huyan Yu alone, Xiao Ji went to Fengyi Palace to accompany the three children first.
But not long after Xie Yao left, she saw a group of people coming towards her. Xie Yao was a little surprised, and when she got closer she saw clearly that it was Xiao Ji who came with three children to greet her.
Xie Yao quickened her pace and ran towards Xiao Ji.
Xiao Ji hurriedly caught her and said, "It's dark and the road is slippery, don't worry." Anyway, he and the children would always be here.
Xie Yao just smiled and took Sui Sui from Xiao Ji's arms.
She knew, but she also wanted to see Xiao Ji and the child as soon as possible.
Although Xiao Ji was very curious about what Huyan Yu had said to his daughter Yaoyao, it was not convenient to talk about it because there were two children present.
Xiao Ji could wait, but the two children were young and had already had dinner.
When they arrived at Fengyi Palace, he handed the two children over to the palace maids who served them personally. Xiao Ji and Xie Yao had a meal alone, and then he asked about this matter.
Xie Yao naturally wouldn't hide it.
Even if Xiao Ji didn't ask, she would take the initiative to mention it.
As soon as Xie Yao said that, Xiao Ji understood, "Yaoyao suspected that Princess Huyan had bad intentions?"
Xie Yao looked at Xiao Ji in surprise, "Your Majesty, do you think she is a good person?"
Xiao Ji immediately said, "That's not what I meant."
Of course, he has never liked Huyan Yu.
He also became serious and said, "According to the news Ah Chan just sent today, Hu Yanyu has indeed been carefully raised since she was a child. Her special qualities were specially tamed."
"But the one who tamed her was not the old emperor of Northern Frontier, but the mother of Huyan Ye and Huyan Yuan."
"She wasn't the only one being tamed. All the princesses in the Northern Frontier royal family whose mothers were not of high rank were tamed."
"Among them, Hu Yanyu is the most talented one."
"The mother of Huyan Ye and Huyan Yuan once asked in a rage why it was her son who came as a hostage instead of the princess."
Xie Yao quickly understood and said, "So, she wants to tame a princess like Huyan Yu in exchange for Huyan Yuan?"
Xiao Ji said: "That's exactly what I meant."
Xie Yao thought about it seriously and felt that the possibility of this happening was quite high. If it was the previous emperor, or any other emperor, it would be very likely.
"So...Huyan Yu and Huyan Ye and Huyan Yuan must be enemies. Why is Huyan Yu trying to find out about Achan?"
"According to the news from Achan, Huyan Yuan did imprison Huyan Yu's biological mother, but the relationship between Huyan Yu and his biological mother has not been harmonious since childhood."
"To say that Huyan Yu did so much for her mother... is a bit far-fetched." While Xiao Ji was speaking, he did not forget to pick up some food for Xie Yao.
Xie Yao said: "Since you are still unsure, let's test it out again. She is very anxious and I think she will come to me again tomorrow."
When Xiao Ji watched Xie Yao talking about these things, his expression was serious and solemn, and he did not seem particularly soft-hearted at all.
Xiao Ji looked at her with admiration in his eyes.
She is truly worthy of being called Yaoyao.
Just as Xie Yao expected, Huyan Yu came to see her again the next morning. She changed into plain clothes from the Chu State, but it could not hide her beautiful face. Instead, it made her look more fragile.
Her long, slightly curly hair was loose, adding a bit of exotic charm to her. Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, making people want to comfort her when they saw her.
Hu Yanyu was led by Zhu Qing into the Yangxin Palace. "Empress, have you made up your mind?"
"I don't have much time left."
Huyan Yu's words were beyond Xie Yao's expectations. "Why do you say that, Princess?"
Huyan Yu seemed to be even thinner. She coughed twice, and her pale face turned slightly rosy. "To be honest with you, Queen, I am not in good health. I am afraid I don't have much time left."
"Hu Yanyuan asked me to come to Chu. If I can enter the harem, that would be great. Even if I can't, I will die in Chu, which will also give him a reason."
"But please rest assured, Queen, I will not bring any trouble to the State of Chu. I just want to beg you to save my mother."
As Huyan Yu spoke, his body softened and he knelt in the Yangxin Palace. He looked up at Xie Yao with pleading eyes.
Xie Yao looked at Hu Yanyu and said, "Princess, please get up first. I will not stand idly by and watch this matter."
Hu Yanyu's face brightened immediately, and he kowtowed to express his gratitude, "Thank you, Queen. Thank you, Queen."
"As long as your people can rescue my mother, I am willing to give everything!"
Xie Yao said: "The princess is filial and it is touching."
Hu Yanyu could not help but ask: "May I ask, Queen, when will your people be able to rescue my mother?"
After Hu Yanyu finished speaking, she saw Xie Yao just staring at her without saying anything. She immediately realized that her attitude was too aggressive and quickly changed her words: "Please forgive me, Queen. As a child, I am just too worried about your mother."
Xie Yao said: "Princess, don't worry, we are already taking action."
Hu Yanyu's eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately thanked her: "Thank you, Queen!"
After getting Xie Yao's affirmative answer, Huyan Yu became a little restless. Xie Yao saw it clearly, but she didn't delay her time intentionally. She allowed Huyan Yu to leave after a few words.
As soon as Huyan Yu left, Xie Yao asked Zhu Qing, "Have all the messages been delivered?"
Zhu Qing immediately said, "Please rest assured, Queen, the news has been delivered early in the morning."
Xie Yao nodded, "Keep an eye on Hu Yanyu."
"Yes." Zhu Qing stepped back.
Huyan Yu's steps as she left the Yangxin Palace could even be described as brisk. She was in a very good mood, and she did not hide it at all.
After walking a few steps, Huyan Yu saw someone coming towards him and paused slightly.
The people who came were none other than Wei Chan and Wei Zhe.
Wei Chan and Wei Zhe also slowed down their pace and nodded slightly, "Princess Huyan."
Hu Yanyu nodded, his eyes swept from the brother and sister, and finally landed on Wei Zhe, "Wei Zhe."
Wei Zhe looked at Huyan Yu with an indifferent and distant look, and was very polite.
Hu Yanyu said: "What I told you last time still counts, you can think about it again."
Wei Chan looked at Wei Zhe with a slight raise of her eyebrows.
Wei Zhe's expression did not change at all, and his voice was calm and even, "Thank you for your kindness, Princess, but I'm afraid I will let you down."
Hu Yanyu stared at him. "Don't you want to reconsider it?"
Wei Zhe said: "I have thought about it."
Huyan Yu was silent for a moment and said, "Don't regret it." After that, he walked past the brother and sister and left quickly.
After she left, Wei Chan asked, "Brother, what's the matter?"
Wei Zhe paused with his hand on his knee, and said in a slightly stiff voice, "Children should not ask about adult matters."
Upon hearing this, Wei Chan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
She was just suspicious just now, but when Wei Zhe said this, she immediately guessed the direction.
Wei Zhe's body stiffened slightly, he raised his eyes again and glared at Wei Chan, saying, "Let's go, His Majesty is still waiting for us."
Wei Chan raised the corners of her lips and pushed Wei Zhe's wheelchair forward.
After walking a few steps, Wei Chan still bent down and said to Wei Zhe: "Brother, this Princess Huyan is not as simple as she seems. No matter what she says to you, you must pay attention and don't be fooled."
Wei Zhe paused, and said to Wei Chan very seriously: "I am the elder brother."
Wei Chan's instructions were a bit contrary to Tian Gang's.
"I know." Wei Chan said nonchalantly, "Princess Huyan is really beautiful. I am just worried about you."
Wei Zhe: “Thank you, no need.”
Xie Yaoxuan and the others had no other business in the palace, except to remind the two to be careful, "Princess Huyan is not here with good intentions, especially towards Achan. Achan, please be careful when you go out and about in the near future."
Xie Yao told the brother and sister what she had analyzed from Hu Yanyu's actions.
Wei Chan immediately said, "Please rest assured, Queen."
After a pause, Wei Chan added: "I will also take good care of my brother."
When this matter was mentioned, Xie Yao and Xiao Ji looked at each other and asked, "Did the doctors who were sent to see us these days say anything?"
Wei Zhe had difficulty walking and had always been in the northern border, so he had limited access to doctors.
Now that they were back in the capital, the climate was much warmer, so Xie Yao and Xiao Ji arranged for all the doctors in the capital to move to the Wei family.
Wei Chan immediately spoke out excitedly, "To answer your Majesty, yes, yes."
"After discussion, the doctors said that the capital is warm and suitable for my brother to recuperate. If my brother can stay in a warm place for a long time, it will be very beneficial to his recovery."
Because of his leg injuries and the fact that he had been staying in the northern border for many years, Wei Zhe was the weakest among everyone.
Wei Chan and others are active all day long and are in good health, so they are naturally different from Wei Zhe.
After hearing what Wei Chan said, Xie Yao and Xiao Ji both breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. If that's the case, then we should rest well in the capital."
Xie Yao said, "Your Majesty and I have selected a new farm for the Wei family these days. It is currently being renovated. When it is finished, Lord Wei can move in."
The three brothers and sisters of the Wei family also have official titles, and the Lord Wei at this moment is naturally Wei Zhe.
Wei Zhe said: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but the Wei family is already very good, and I feel ashamed to accept it."
Xie Yao immediately said: "Master Wei is wrong. Master Wei has guarded the border for many years and has made extraordinary contributions. It's just a house."
"Master Wei, please accept it."
