Chapter 234 He wants to save his mother!
Mother is in great danger, he wants to tell her, he wants to save her!
Xie Chengyun bit his lips tightly.
No matter how anxious he was, he didn't dare wake up immediately.
He knew that if he opened his eyes right now, the Empress Dowager would find out that he had eavesdropped, and then he would not be able to run to inform his mother...
He had to lie down for a while.
Anyway, Nanny Cui hasn't gone to harm his mother yet, so he can wait a little longer.
The smart little Xie Chengyun lay there motionless. After a while, he heard the footsteps of Aunt Cui leaving the room, and the room fell into silence.
He still didn't move.
He wanted to wait a little longer.
After waiting for nearly another quarter of an hour, he began to hum softly, imitating his brother's sleepy manner.
When Queen Mother Jiang heard him humming, she immediately reached out and gently patted his back.
"Be good, the Empress Dowager is here, Yun'er, be good—"
Xie Chengyun hummed and moved his little arm, rubbed his eyes, then turned his head and looked at Queen Mother Jiang in a daze.
"Grandmother, am I asleep?"
Queen Mother Jiang laughed.
She gently tapped the little guy's nose and said, "You are not just asleep, you are sleeping like a pig. I can't wake you up even if I shout at you."
Xie Chengyun rubbed his eyes and sat up holding a small pillow.
After yawning, he suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Queen Mother Jiang anxiously, "Grandma, I fell asleep. Has the banquet already started?"
Without waiting for Queen Mother Jiang to speak, he quickly jumped off the couch and said while putting on his shoes, "It's over, it's over, I can't make it in time! I have to go and join in the fun quickly, Grandmother, let's go together, can you and Yun'er go together?"
Upon hearing this, Queen Mother Jiang narrowed her eyes slightly.
She couldn't let Yun'er leave.
If Shen Yuanwei was cautious and asked Xiao Lingzhao to come with her when she left the banquet, it would be difficult for them to attack with Xiao Lingzhao, who was highly skilled in martial arts, beside her. In this case, she would still need Yun'er to lead Shen Yuanwei away alone...
If Yun'er leaves, how will she deal with Shen Yuanwei later?
Queen Mother Jiang grabbed her eldest grandson's arm and rubbed her eyebrows, pretending to be in pain.
"Yun'er, the Royal Grandmother is feeling a little uncomfortable and has a severe headache. Please don't leave yet. Can you accompany the Royal Grandmother? The banquet will not end until two hours later. If you wait a little longer, you can still catch up and watch the fun."
Xie Chengyun looked up at the Empress Dowager.
He never knew that the Empress Dowager was so good at pretending.
He had heard everything before. It was obvious that the Empress Dowager was planning to have him help deceive his mother later, so she didn't allow him to leave...
Humph, she clearly wanted to use him to harm his mother, but she pretended to have a headache to get his sympathy. The Empress Dowager is really bad.
Xie Chengyun blinked and said quickly, "Grandmother, do you have a headache? You need to call the imperial physician. Grandmother, wait a minute, I'll go call the imperial physician for you!"
As he spoke, he tried to pull at Queen Mother Jiang's hand.
He thought that after he left, he would run to the banquet to find his mother and tell her about the Royal Grandmother's evil plan, and then come back to keep an eye on this bad guy, the Royal Grandmother.
But no matter how good his intention was, Queen Mother Jiang refused to let him go.
Queen Mother Jiang pulled his little arm and said, "No need to call the imperial physician, the Royal Grandmother's illness is not serious, as long as Yun'er can rub her head by her side, it will be fine."
Xie Chengyun looked conflicted.
What should I do?
How can he inform his mother if the Empress Dowager won’t let him go?
Mother doesn't know what the Imperial Grandmother is going to do, so she won't be on guard. What if mother doesn't bring Uncle Xiao with her and is ambushed by that bad guy, Madam Cui?
He couldn't wait to run, but he didn't dare to run. He was afraid that if he ran, the Empress Dowager would find out that he had just overheard her talking to Aunt Cui...
Xie Chengyun scratched his head, getting anxious.
He hated himself for being a child, with only a little cleverness but no real wisdom. When faced with something like this, he really didn't know how to get out of it. If only his mother was here, sob...
Mother...
…
At this moment, in the banquet hall, the emperor and his ministers were toasting and celebrating together.
Xie Junlin didn't like singing and dancing, so there were never any singing girls dancing at his banquets. Instead, there were only a few highly skilled court pianists playing light and graceful music on the side, and the banquets were warm and peaceful.
At this time, Aunt Cui appeared.
She came to Xie Tianyou from the corner very inconspicuously.
She bent down and whispered, "Your Highness, the Queen Mother is feeling a little unwell. She asked me to ask Your Highness if you can leave for a while and go see her."
Xie Tianyou suddenly looked up at Aunt Cui in astonishment.
His mother was fine when he left, so why did she suddenly become unwell?
Xie Tianyou stood up immediately.
He bowed to Xie Junlin and said, "Brother, my mother is feeling a little unwell. I'll go and see her."
Xie Junlin frowned upon hearing this, and his eyes fell on Aunt Cui, "What's wrong with the Queen Mother? Did you call the imperial physician?"
Madam Cui said quickly, "Your Majesty, the queen probably just caught a cold, it's nothing serious, she just feels lonely staying in the palace alone and wants someone to keep her company."
Xie Junlin breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm glad you're okay."
He gestured to Xie Tianyou, "Then go and accompany the Queen Mother. If she is willing to come to the banquet, let her come. If she really doesn't want to come, don't force her. Her wishes are the most important."
Xie Tianyou nodded, turned around and led Aunt Cui out of the hall.
When Shen Yuanwei saw Xie Tianyou leaving, she put down her chopsticks and called Xiao Lingzhao, "Now is the perfect opportunity, let's go out and chase Ah You."
Xiao Lingzhao responded.
He stood up and quietly left the table with Shen Yuanwei. Not far outside the hall, he saw Xie Tianyou in the corridor ahead.
Xiao Lingzhao shouted, "Your Highness Prince Rui, please stay."
Hearing the voice, Xie Tianyou stopped and looked back.
Seeing that it was Xiao Lingzhao and Shen Yuanwei, he blinked and immediately walked towards them.
He was like a little puppy that would run over with its tail wagging when someone else said a few words to it. He stood in front of Shen Yuanwei and looked at her with his big black eyes.
"Sister, you're looking for me!"
His eyes and eyebrows were filled with joy, which could not be concealed at all.
At this moment, he felt a great expectation in his heart.
He hoped that Brother Xiao would agree to let him be his concubine, and he hoped that his sister came to talk to him about becoming a concubine!
However, Shen Yuanwei was going to disappoint him.
Shen Yuanwei glanced at Aunt Cui who was not far away, pulled Xie Tianyou's sleeve and walked to the side, speaking in a low voice.
"Ayou, I just saw you searching everywhere on the field. Can you tell me what you are looking for?"
Xie Tianyou was stunned.
The expectation in his eyes dimmed, and he said disappointedly, "Sister, is this what you asked me?"
Shen Yuanwei said gently, "Brother Xiao and I are a little worried about you. We are afraid that you will get angry and make impulsive decisions that will harm others and yourself, so we came to ask you..."
Without waiting for Xie Tianyou to speak, she added, "Of course, if Brother Xiao and I misunderstood and you did not act impulsively, then we will apologize to you, okay?"
Xie Tianyou is not a fool.
After his sister said this, he immediately understood what she meant.
He said, "Sister, you are afraid that I will get angry with you and choose one of the ministers' daughters to be my princess. Then we will become a couple with each other. It will be hard for me and make the other girl suffer, right?"
