"Today is the New Year's Eve palace banquet. All the members of the Xie family's eldest branch are in attendance, but the Queen has only left Xu Wanruo behind. Fu Xian told me about this. Half an hour ago, news came from the palace that something had happened in Fengyi Palace."
Su Yan's expression was serious: "The Queen wouldn't make things difficult for her for no reason. She must have known about your betrayal."
Xie Xianyu's face turned pale, and he suddenly clenched his hands on the reins. Then he squeezed his legs against the horse's belly and galloped back to the capital.
Su Yan quickly turned his horse around and chased after him: "What are you doing now?"
"Enter the palace." Xie Xianyu's eyes were already cold.
"The Queen dared to detain Xu Wanruo in the palace. She must be trying to use her as a threat. Have you thought about how to deal with it?"
Xie Xianyu didn't reply.
Su Yan hurriedly said: "Why don't you go to the palace to find the emperor and ask him to come forward..."
"No!" Xie Xianyu's voice was quiet, but his eyes were cold and piercing. "She is now holding the Queen's hand."
To him, she was Xu Wanruo, but to the queen, she was just a life.
Countless people have died in the palace, and the dirty tricks used in the harem are far worse than those in the inner house. The queen is determined to fight to the death. What's wrong with taking the blame and killing her?
He couldn't gamble with her life, not even a penny.
"So what are you going to do?"
Xie Xianyu didn't answer. He just whipped his horse whip and shouted, "Go!"
Xie Xianyu hurried back to the capital and headed for the imperial palace. He had a pass to the palace, granted by His Majesty, allowing him to enter the palace at any time.
It was already night, but the palace gates were still open for him.
The palace was decorated with red walls and green tiles, and the night air seemed even more solemn. He strode down the long palace road, but still felt it was too slow, so he broke into a quick run.
She has been detained in the palace for half a day. What will happen in this half day?
If the Queen really knew that he had betrayed and abandoned King Xuan, she would surely be furious and wait for an opportunity to take revenge. Now that he did not return to the capital, what would the Queen do to her?
His heart was already clenched, and his eyes, which were always calm and composed, rarely showed a look of panic. He didn't dare to think about it.
He entered the harem without permission from Your Majesty and fled to Fengyi Palace.
The young eunuch guarding Fengyi Palace was about to doze off when he suddenly saw Xie Xianyu. He was so startled that he woke up from his nap: "Young, young Master Xie!"
Xie Xianyu's face was gloomy, and he almost blended into the night. The aura around him was chilling.
"Go tell the Queen that I'm coming to pick up my wife."
"It's almost nightfall now, and the Empress must have gone to bed. Sir Xie, you have trespassed into the harem..."
The young eunuch had barely finished speaking when he suddenly ran into his cold, glaring eyes. His face froze with fear, and he subconsciously took two steps back. "Yes, I'll pass it on right away."
The young eunuch hurried into Fengyi Palace.
The Queen did not go to bed, but instead discussed with Jiang Xuejun how to deal with Xu Wanruo.
"This bitch has been beaten half to death, and we don't know when Xie Xianyu will come back. If she delays for a few more days, and she really dies, wouldn't it be a waste of time?" Jiang Xuejun asked.
"Leave her hanging on to her life. This palace of mine, Fengyi Palace, can't stand this dead person. It's very unlucky."
Jiang Xuejun felt a little scared again and couldn't help asking, "If Xie Xianyu really cared about her, seeing her like this, I'm afraid he would..."
The Queen sneered, "What? Are you scared? You were the one who threatened to kill her then, but now you're afraid of Xie Xianyu. Jiang, are you still wishful thinking?"
Jiang Xuejun broke out in a cold sweat, "I wouldn't dare! I've only heard of Xie Xianyu's ruthless tactics, and I'm afraid he might harm the Empress and Prince Xuan."
"I've lived half my life, and I've seen all sorts of storms and waves. How could I be afraid of him?"
Just as she finished speaking, a young eunuch came running in hurriedly: "Your Majesty, Master Xie is here, and he wants to take Madam Xie home."
Jiang Xuejun's pupils shrank suddenly: "He returned to Beijing so soon?"
The Queen was suspicious: "How could he come so quickly?"
"Your Majesty, would you like me to report this and ask him to come back another day..."
"No need." The Queen stood up, a smug smile on her lips. "It's rare for him to be so attentive, so I can't refuse him. He came so quickly, which shows that he really cares about that little bitch. It seems that I made the right choice this time."
