Chapter 444: House Arrest in the Palace



"Get up."

"Thank you, my emperor (your majesty)."

Emperor Yuan said, "I heard from Qin Shi's letter that you encountered many dangers on your way back to the capital. Were you injured?"

Princess Yuehua smiled slightly, "Thank you for your concern, brother. Yuehua has the protection of the personal soldiers you gave her, so she was not injured along the way."

"That's good."

"After not seeing you for so many years, my brother is still as charming and young and handsome as ever." Princess Yuehua said with a smile.

The corner of Emperor Yuan's mouth curled up into a faint smile, "It's been many years since we last met, Yuehua is still as sweet as she was when she was young."

Having said that, Princess Yuehua still felt the Emperor Yuan’s alienation and coldness.

In the past, although the two siblings were not very close, their relationship was still good, and she didn't feel strange and uneasy like she does now.

Prince Yuehua was nervous, but the smile on his face did not diminish at all. "I heard that the Queen is pregnant. I wonder if Yuehua can go and see her and her unborn nephew?"

"The Queen is feeling unwell, and the Imperial Physician has told her to stay in bed and rest. Even if I want to see the Queen, I have to get the Imperial Physician's consent." The Emperor politely declined Princess Yuehua's request.

"Is that so?" Princess Yuehua's smile changed slightly, "Then Yuehua will not disturb sister-in-law's rest."

Emperor Yuan nodded and said, "You must be tired after the long journey. I have ordered people to clean up the palace. You can go down and rest first."

Princess Yuehua did not want to live in the palace, so she tentatively said, "Brother, Yuehua is already married, it is not appropriate for her to live in the palace, Yuehua should just move back to the palace..."

"Hey!" Emperor Yuan interrupted her softly, "What are you talking about, Yuehua? Even if you get married, you are still the princess of Daxia, my sister. The palace has always been your home, there is nothing inappropriate about it."

"But……"

"It's nothing to worry about. Just stay in the palace with peace of mind." Although Emperor Yuan's words sounded peaceful, they contained a hint of majesty that could not be refused.

Princess Yuehua couldn't help but hear it, so she could only agree with a smile.

Afterwards, the mother and daughter were taken away by Emperor Yuan's personal eunuch.

On the way to the palace, Princess Yuehua kept looking for opportunities to get information from the young eunuch, wanting to know what Emperor Yuan's attitude was towards Su Yuan's lawsuit against her.

The young eunuch was a tight-lipped man, and no matter how Princess Ren Yuehua asked in a roundabout way, he refused to reveal any information.

Moreover, after arriving at the palace, Princess Yuehua discovered that there were imperial guards guarding outside the palace, and the palace maids serving them were also not simple.

"If Your Highness has nothing else to tell me, I will take my leave now." The young eunuch bowed and said.

"Wait a minute." Princess Yuehua said with a half-smile, "What's going on with the imperial guards outside?"

"Your Highness, His Majesty has considered that Your Highness has encountered danger many times along the way and is afraid that there are bad guys lurking in the palace, so he has arranged for the Imperial Guards to protect Your Highness' safety."

"Protect my safety?" Princess Yuehua sneered in her heart, "In that case, I will have to trouble you to thank my brother on my behalf."

"Yes, I will definitely convey your Highness's words."

After saying this, the young eunuch turned around and left the palace.

Princess Yuehua stood in the hall, looking at the imperial guards outside the door and the palace maids inside the hall, curling her lips and sneering.

Huh! It’s clearly house arrest, but they call it protection.

It seems that my brother believed what that woman Su Yuan said!

Princess Wen'an also knew that they were now under house arrest, and she called out anxiously, "Mother..."

On the other side, after Xie Beixiao sent Princess Yuehua into the palace, he immediately went to Ye Wuhen’s shop.

When he arrived at the store, Jiang Yueyang was still there.

Seeing Jiang Yueyang here and that the two seemed to have a good relationship, he was full of doubts.

Seeing his confusion, Jiang Yueyang took the initiative to explain: "Mr. Ye and I are friends."

"…How did Lord Xiao Jiang become friends with him?"

Although they had only met once, Xie Beixiao still felt that a cold-hearted person like Ye Wuhen could not have any connection with Jiang Yueyang.

He couldn't explain why he felt that way, he just felt it was impossible.

Jiang Yueyang thought about it and said with a wicked smile: "He is so shameless that he is clinging to me. I can't get rid of him."

Xie Beixiao: “…”

Is the person she is talking about the same person he met two years ago?

However, this person seems to be very different from the feeling he gave two years ago.

"How can I be so shameless?" Ye Wuhen's voice was filled with a strong smile, "Don't talk nonsense."

"So you don't deny relying on me?"

Ye Wuhen suddenly felt that he had jumped into the pit she had dug, and shook his head and laughed: "Yes~ I don't deny it."

Xie Beixiao looked at Ye Wuhen suspiciously, wondering if he had recognized the wrong person.

"General Xie, what are you doing here?" Jiang Yueyang asked.

Xie Beixiao pointed at Ye Wuhen and said, "I'll come find him."

"Do you know each other?" Jiang Yueyang asked knowingly.

Xie Beixiao: “I have seen it.”

"So what do you want to see him about?"

"I want to get to know him."

Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang turned her head to look at Ye Wuhen, then looked at Xie Beixiao and asked with a smile: "Do you need me to introduce you to each other?"

The two looked at each other after hearing this.

Xie Beixiao bowed and said, "Thank you, Master Xiao Jiang."

Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang stood up and cleared his throat, "His name is Ye Wuhen, and he is the owner of this store and the one next door."

It was only then that Xie Beixiao noticed what was sold in the store.

Aren’t those the new sweet potatoes and potatoes that are coming out these days?

"Ye Wuhen, this is the general of the Longwu Army, General Xie Beixiao, and he is also the son of Lord Xie, the Prefect of Jingzhao." Jiang Yueyang introduced Xie Beixiao to Ye Wuhen.
