Chapter 726 The Whole Fish Was Stupid
The discussion in Xuanzheng Hall was temporarily put on hold.
In the bathing pool of Yuxiu Palace, Hua Yan, as the object of discussion, lay on the shore listlessly, her beautiful light golden tail swaying casually in the water, splashing water a little.
After a long while, the door of the side hall creaked open.
The person walked lightly and steadily, and after passing the large screen, he saw Hua Yan, who was standing by the pool with a bored look on her face, and her fish tail swaying boredly underwater.
Shu Hong secretly steadied her breathing. Even though she had seen such a scene for two days in a row, she still couldn't hide the shock in her heart.
Although she had heard that Li Sheng and Xue Sha were both transformed from foxes, this was the first time she had seen a mermaid.
That big tail is quite pretty.
Concentrating her mind, Shu Hong walked up the stone steps with the lunch box and went directly to the poolside. She called her softly, "Hua Yan, are you hungry? I brought lunch."
After hearing Shuhong's voice, Huayan's originally gloomy expression finally showed some smile. She straightened up a little and looked up at Shuhong.
"Sister Shuhong."
Shu Hong came forward, squatted down and patted her head gently, "Today's dishes are all your favorites. The queen also asked me to add two more plates of snacks for you so that you won't be hungry in the afternoon."
Hua Yan smiled immediately, "Thank you, Sister Shu Hong."
Shu Hong opened the lunch box for her and placed the food inside the box on the table. Hua Yan looked at the steaming dishes, pursed her lips, and couldn't help asking,
"Sister Shuhong, how is Brother Tianbao these past two days? Has he asked about me?"
What Hua Yan actually wanted to ask was whether Brother Tianbao wanted to come and see her.
After waking up in Baohua Palace that day, she heard the whole story, including that Xiang Tian had confirmed from Quan Xian that she was a mermaid.
As for the things that Quan Xian had misled Xiang Tian about, Xiang Tian also asked her directly.
Hua Yan then told him the whole story of how she met Xiang Yanyan and how she used her beauty to get ashore to fulfill her wish.
Hua Yan was also afraid that Xiang Tian would misunderstand that she had deliberately killed Xiang Yanyan, so she was careful to watch his expression while explaining.
Fortunately, Xiang Tian did not mean to disbelieve her.
But after that day, she was secretly sent back to Yuxiu Palace to be raised, and Xiang Tian never came to see her again after that.
Hua Yan didn't know whether Xiang Tian was angry with her.
Or, knowing that she is not the sister he is looking for, he will never pay attention to her again.
Thinking of this possibility, Hua Yan felt so sad that she wanted to drop her pearls.
Fortunately, she managed to hold back in front of Shu Hong.
But Shu Hong was such a thoughtful person that even if Hua Yan didn't say anything, she could see the expectation in her eyes.
But she wouldn't lie to her.
He shook his head at her.
She could more or less understand the entanglement between Hua Yan and Xiang Tian, but she also didn't understand why Xiang Tian seemed to have forgotten Hua Yan's existence after returning from Baohua Palace. Although he was still on duty, he never approached the side hall and never even asked about Hua Yan's situation.
Seeing the Shuhong shaking its head, the flower's face wilted almost visibly.
I tried to hold it in, but a little mist accumulated in my eyes.
She thought, Xiang Tian really didn't want to care about her anymore.
Shu Hong looked at her pitiful appearance, thought for a moment, and then touched her head and said,
"Although I don't know why he didn't come to see you for the time being, I saw with my own eyes that when he knew you had gone to Concubine Lian's palace, he almost broke into the palace to rescue you. Later, he carried you all the way to Baohua Palace, and he looked anxious all the way."
Shu Hong paused and added, "Since he entered Yuxiu Palace, I have never seen him so anxious."
Hua Yan listened to Shu Hong's words in a daze. Her eyes, which were originally misty, were now clear, as if it was unbelievable.
After all, the Empress and Shasha had never told her these details before!
So, after Xiang Tian knew that she was not his sister, he was still very worried about himself?
Hua Yan just felt that her appetite suddenly returned.
Shu Hong saw that she finally showed some relief and said,
"At first, he thought his sister was still alive and loved you as his sister. It's possible that he couldn't adapt to the truth for a while. When he figured it out, he will come to see you."
It is like a person who has been walking in darkness for many years and suddenly sees the light, but when he gets closer he finds that it is not really light.
There will always be disappointment and temporary inability to accept.
But even though he knew the truth, he was still worried about Hua Yan's safety. In Shu Hong's opinion, he still had feelings for Hua Yan.
She wasn't worried.
After hearing her words and looking at Shuhong's determined expression, Huayan felt confident for a moment. She nodded seriously and picked up the chopsticks to start eating.
At this moment, the door of the side hall was pushed open again, followed by the sound of footsteps running.
The two looked at each other. Even if they didn't look, they knew that the person who came must be the young prince Xuesha.
Sure enough, a small figure hurriedly passed by behind the screen, and the chubby little figure ran towards the two of them, with a smug look on his face and a baby voice,
"Hua Yan Hua Yan, your wish will soon be fulfilled!"
Hua Yan was stunned when she heard this, and before she could react, she heard Xue Sha continue to say, "Yue Yue has already agreed to issue an edict to make you the queen today!"
The moment the words fell, there was a "click" sound, and the silver chopsticks in Hua Yan's hand fell onto the marble on the shore. The sound of the two chopsticks colliding echoed clearly in the empty side hall.
Looking at Hua Yan again, the whole fish has been scared silly.
