Wanruo's face changed.
Entering the palace? A month ago, she had escaped death from there.
That place was like a nightmare to her.
He saw the fear in her eyes, stroked her face gently, and said in a gentle voice: "Don't be afraid, I will go with you this time."
The palace is full of dangers and murderous intentions. If you make a mistake, you will die without a burial place.
A month ago, she was bullied by King Xuan's party there and nearly lost her life. A month later, he would make that place a nightmare for those people!
Wanruo looked at his cold eyes and suddenly felt frightened.
Seven days later, Xie Xianyu took Wanruo out of Songhe Garden for the first time.
Her injuries had not yet healed completely, so she couldn't stand for long, but she could walk without any problem.
King Xuan has been named the Crown Prince. His Majesty will hold a banquet, which will be hosted by the Crown Prince. All officials from the highest to the lowest levels of the court will attend the banquet, and of course the Xie family cannot miss it.
When Xie Xianyu took Wanruo out of the Xie Mansion's gate, the eldest master's face changed when he saw him.
"You're also going to the palace for the banquet?!"
"The prince personally sent an invitation, so of course I have to go." Xie Xianyu said in a calm tone.
The eldest master's face was grim, and he lowered his voice and said, "Today's palace banquet is hosted by the Crown Prince. Are you rushing to seek trouble? Do you really think the Crown Prince will let you go?"
Xie Xianyu's betrayal of King Xuan has been exposed. The master knows it all and has also guessed why Xu Wanruo was injured.
He was angry at his son for giving up his future for a woman, and he was also angry at his son for never recovering from his loss, resigning from his official position, and spending his days at home revolving around a woman.
But the matter was already settled, King Xuan had already been named crown prince, and it was too late to say anything.
The Xie family had to surrender to King Xuan to show their loyalty as the Xie Dynasty was about to be established and the Xie family had to survive.
Xie Xianyu was his beloved son. No matter how disappointed he was in him, he was still his first son. He had poured so much effort into him. How could he just watch him die?
The eldest master said with a sullen face, "Just stay home and be a good boy. I'll negotiate with the Crown Prince. Perhaps he'll show some mercy to you for the sake of the Xie family."
Save his life.
Xie Xiangli's eyes were heavy. It had come to this point, and his father still refused to give up his elder brother?
He stepped forward and followed suit, "Yes, I will do my best to speak up for Big Brother on the Crown Prince's behalf. Perhaps the Crown Prince will forgive my mistakes and let Big Brother off the hook from now on."
The eldest master looked at Xie Xiangli and his expression eased a little. The Xie family had already offended the prince because of Xie Xianyu, but the prince was still polite to Xie Xiangli. There was still room for the Xie family to gain a foothold in the future.
However, from now on, the next head of the Xie family must be replaced.
Xie Xianyu's eyes were deep and gloomy. "Then I'll trouble you."
"Then at today's palace banquet, you should not..."
"The Crown Prince personally sent the invitation, why shouldn't I go? Otherwise, wouldn't I be offending the Crown Prince?"
He didn't know if it was Xie Xiangli's illusion, but he vaguely felt that there was a hint of sarcasm in Xie Xianyu's words.
But when he looked at Xie Xianyu's expression, he was calm and composed, just like before, and it was impossible to tell any emotion from him.
Xie Xianyu took Wan Ruo's hand and turned to get on the carriage.
The master threw away his sleeves, too lazy to care about anything else, and simply got on the carriage in front.
Xie Xiangli watched Xie Xianyu get into the car, his eyes slightly fixed. Somehow, he felt uneasy in his heart.
He hadn't seen his eldest brother for some time. His eldest brother had been staying in Songhe Garden, saying that he was taking care of his wife, but he felt that perhaps he was ashamed and had no face to see people.
But when I saw him again today, I found that he had not changed at all from before. There was no humility or panic in his eyes.
His calmness made him wonder if he had a backup plan.
He shook his head. He must be overthinking it. If Xie Xianyu had any backup plan, how could he have waited until King Xuan was appointed crown prince?
He should have run out of tricks long ago and was just waiting to die in a dignified manner.
The carriage slowly set off. Xie Xianyu saw that Wanruo looked unhappy and frowned slightly, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Wanruo had just recovered from her injury and could not sit for long, so he specially asked someone to put an extra cushion on the carriage to make her sit more comfortably.
Wanruo's face was tense and she shook her head.
