Xiao Huaiyu: "Things are not what you think. Can you let me in?"
Meng Xi thought to herself, you are being intimate with a palace maid and want to get married, what are you talking to me about? She refused again: "Brother, go and do your work first, don't worry about me."
After she finished speaking, there was no sound outside the door. She just breathed a sigh of relief, and the next second the door opened and someone walked in.
Meng Xian:!!!
Cover yourself with the quilt and curl yourself up into a ball.
She felt someone sitting next to her, and a hand fell on the quilt: "I fell asleep while reading just now. It was that palace maid who framed me. I didn't do anything to her." He pulled her quilt, "Don't cover yourself up, or you'll suffocate."
Meng Xian paused, ah, is it that the palace maid has some ulterior motives?
She was caught off guard and Xiao Huaiyu took advantage of her. The quilt was easily removed, revealing her dazed little face. Her hair was squeezed askew, and a few strands of hair fell on her face.
Xiao Huaiyu helped the little girl up naturally: "If you don't believe me, you can interrogate her yourself when someone comes later."
Meng Xi waved her hands hurriedly: "Brother, you handle this matter yourself."
Unexpectedly, Xiao Huaiyu's face showed grievance: "Aren't you worried that the palace maid is an enemy in disguise, trying to poison me?"
How could Meng Xian respond to this? She immediately ignored the embarrassment and hurriedly ordered the palace maid to call the imperial physician. She then turned around and examined Xiao Huaiyu from head to toe, fearing that he had really been fed poison.
Seeing her so nervous, Xiao Huaiyu felt relieved and held her hand: "I'm fine, it was just an assumption."
Meng Xian: ???
Meng Xi looked at him speechlessly.
After a while, the palace servant dragged the disheveled maid into the hall and threw her on the ground: "Your Majesty, the person has been brought here."
Meng Xian immediately looked at the maid. She hadn't seen her face in the imperial study, as she had her back to her. The maid slowly raised her head, revealing a face Meng Xian knew well.
"Wan'er?!"
It turned out to be Xie Wan'er, whom I hadn't seen for a long time.
Xie Wan'er didn't look at her, but instead stared at the emperor who was high above her. Tears welled up in her eyes before she could speak: "Your Majesty~"
Meng Xian looked around, full of questions. She wanted to ask how Xie Wan'er became a palace maid, and what had happened in the imperial study just now. But Xie Wan'er didn't look at her. Her eyes were only on the emperor.
"Your Majesty, Wan'er is devoted to you, why don't you want to look back?"
"Wan'er gave up her position as a young lady from an official family just to be closer to you. Considering my infatuation, please take pity on Wan'er and accept her as yours!" She turned to Meng Xian and begged, "Xian'er, Wan'er has nothing else to ask for in this life except a place by your Majesty's side. Please help me."
Meng Xian was at a loss for words and looked at Xiao Huaiyu: "Brother..."
Xiao Huaiyu's face turned cold: "Drag him out!"
Several eunuchs immediately stepped forward, blocked Xie Wan'er's mouth, and dragged her out regardless of her struggle.
Meng Xian was still in shock. She had known Xie Wan'er for a long time, but she had never expected her to harbor such feelings for her brother. For a moment, she didn't know what to say. But after all, they had known each other for a while, so she couldn't help but say, "Brother, maybe Wan'er didn't mean it..."
She met Xiao Huaiyu's cold and ruthless eyes and shut up.
Xiao Huaiyu looked at the little girl and said, "I have no feelings for her at all. If it weren't for you, if she behaved like this today, even if she had ten heads, she wouldn't be able to chop them off. Besides, the Imperial Study is heavily guarded, and she was able to get in so easily. This shows how scheming and manipulative she is."
"She has no ill intentions today, but if she sets her heart on killing me someday, how can I defend myself?"
Meng Xi was shocked. She had actually forgotten this.
Xiao Huaiyu: "Her life and my life, what will you choose, Xian'er?"
"Of course it's you!"
Meng Xi didn't even think about it.
Xiao Huaiyu smiled, his eyes extremely gentle: "I knew that Xian'er had me in her heart."
Meng Xian met his focused gaze, and for some reason her heart suddenly began beating like thunder. She quickly avoided the burning gaze.
Xihe only found out about this later. She didn't expect that the heroine, who had not been heard from for so long, actually entered the palace and tried to seduce the little rebel.
As a result, he failed to steal the chicken and ended up losing the rice. Not only did he fail, but he also had two ribs broken by a kick and was expelled from the palace that day.
It is said that after the people in Xie's house found out, they were afraid of being implicated, so they did not let her into the house. Instead, they sent her to Taohua Temple outside the city on a fast horse and did not dare to let her out again!
Xihe shook his head, sighed that it was his own fault, and let the matter go. He turned his attention to his daughter and the little rebel.
Ever since Meng Ying came back this time, Xiao Huaiyu seemed to have come to his senses and began to intentionally or unintentionally occupy every aspect of the little girl's life, just hoping that the little girl would think of him from time to time.
However, the incident with Xie Wan'er in the palace made the little girl realize the difference between men and women between her and her elder brother.
He barely stayed in the palace for two days and soon fled back home.
As soon as she came back, Xiao Huaiyu followed with his luggage.
Xihe: “…”
