Therefore, the best way is to use Xia'er's hand to surprise Shao Yun.
Seeing that Su Li Luo was still worried, Han Xiangxu slowly explained: "Mother, her family is now in my hands. Besides, it's a pity for such a smart girl to stay with a stupid woman like Shao Yun."
Su Liluo nodded, and the stone in his heart fell.
At this moment, someone suddenly came to report from outside.
"Second Prince, the person you wanted to summon is here."
Everyone in the Han family, including Han Xinyu, couldn't help but look towards the door.
Two guards came up with Xia'er, "Your Highness, it is this palace maid who has been following you secretly."
"Greetings to the Empress, the Second Prince, and Princess Xihe."
Xia'er knelt down hurriedly.
"Get up, you are a man who knows how to judge the situation. Your intelligence should not be buried."
Hearing Han Xiangxu's words, a rare glimmer of light flashed in Xia'er's eyes.
Ever since she came to serve Shao Yun, she was called a slut and a slave by Shao Yun all day long. Now it was the first time she heard someone in a high position actually praising her.
For a moment, Xia'er was a little ecstatic, but soon, Xia'er suppressed this joy.
"Please forgive me for not being able to serve the Queen, but I will never harm Princess Shao Yun."
Xia'er buried her face so low that no one could see the sad look in her eyes.
Seeing Xia'er's expression, Han Xiangxu continued, "Xia'er, I know that you are unwilling to take action against your master, and even risked your life to protect your master many times, because the lives of your entire family are in Shao Yun's hands."
"I, the great Nan Yu, will definitely not have a petty mind like Shao Yun."
"The only way to protect your life and the lives of your entire family is to leave Shao Yun and join our Han family."
As soon as Xia'er heard Han Xiangxu mention his family, she quickly understood what Han Xiangxu meant.
She was willing to enter the princess's mansion because of her family.
Xia'er was originally a lady from an official family. Her father's leg injury became disabled because he did not receive timely treatment, and her mother also became seriously ill.
From then on, her family fell into poverty and she became a slave.
If it weren't for the great help from the Daliang royal family, she would not have been able to successfully enter the princess's mansion and gain Shao Yun's trust step by step.
However, the person who saved their family was the late emperor of Daliang, not Shao Yun. But due to the late emperor's last words before his death, Xia'er decided to stay by Shao Yun's side and endure all the beatings and scoldings.
If she could repay the life-saving grace with her own life or flesh and blood, then she would have paid off her debt to the Daliang royal family long ago.
Seeing the conflicted look on Xia'er's face, the guards beside him noticed Han Xiangxu's eyes and brought up several people hiding in the dark.
"Ever since you entered the palace, Shao Yun and others have not let your parents go. Instead, they have been reluctant to send you back."
Xia'er is proficient in some medical knowledge and has an extremely calm temperament. How could Shao Yun let go of such a person who can tolerate being beaten and scolded but can still come up with some new ideas from time to time?
Xia'er turned around and saw her parents, tears streaming down her face.
"Dad, Mom, are you okay?"
Xia'er looked at her parents whose faces were already covered with bruises, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
"Xia'er, this was all done by Princess Shao Yun. There is not a single good person in their royal family. They saved us for our family's medical skills. A few days ago, after your father taught the ancestral medical skills to those imperial doctors, they no longer treated us politely."
When he said this, Xia'er's father gritted his teeth in anger.
"If it weren't for the second prince's rescue, I'm afraid your mother and I would have died."
At this moment, Xia'er hurriedly knelt down in front of Han Xiangxu and the others, "Thank you very much for saving my life, Second Prince. I will definitely serve you, Second Prince and Queen."
Seeing Xia'er's reaction, everyone smiled with satisfaction.
That night, Xia'er returned to Jiaolan Palace and immediately prepared some medicine for Shao Yun.
"Why does this medicine today taste so weird compared to the previous ones?"
Xia'er's eyelids jumped. Today's soup and medicine were all added with ingredients. For Shao Yun, who had a picky taste, it was not surprising that he found something unusual in the taste.
This is also the reason why Han Xiangxu must incite Xia Er to rebel, because Shao Yun never thought that Xia Er, who has always been loyal to her, would actually betray her.
"Your Majesty, in order to help you conceive a prince, I have naturally added two more herbs to this soup than before."
Hearing Xia'er's words, Shao Yun was instantly overjoyed, "You mean I still have a chance to get pregnant."
A few days ago, Xia'er said that because of that secret medicine, she would never be able to have children in this life. Now that she heard that she could get pregnant, how could she not be happy.
Compared to raising someone else's child in the future, it is more reassuring to have your own flesh and blood.
"I studied ancient books yesterday and came up with a way to crack it."
Xia'er knelt on the ground, still looking humble.
Shao Yun didn't suspect anything and drank the bowl of medicine immediately.
Sure enough, not long after, news came that Shao Yun was pregnant. Even several famous imperial doctors in the palace said that the baby in her belly was alive and healthy and would definitely be a healthy prince in the future.
The praise from the imperial doctors and the surrounding eunuchs and palace maids further fueled Shao Yun's arrogance.
Anyone else can easily figure out that Han Haiyang already has seven handsome and outstanding sons, and a cute girl like Han Xinyu, so how could he possibly still be looking forward to the newly formed piece of meat in Shao Yun's belly.
However, the palace servants could only keep their words to themselves regarding this.
