Chapter 281 How could it be him!?
Seeing Yu Qinghuan's insistence, the guards had no choice but to kidnap the person. If he hurt someone, his master would blame him and he couldn't afford the consequences.
He could only leave in disgrace and return to the palace to report.
Only then was Yu Qinghuan able to take Sang Ruqing to count the things in the restaurant, while instructing Yunniang to make the restaurant better and add more tables, chairs and decorations to the private rooms on the second floor.
Yun Niang in front took a pen and paper and wrote down everything Yu Qinghuan said. She was a down-to-earth person, and she would definitely treat the person who helped her with care.
Sang Ru whispered from behind, "Miss, aren't you afraid of angering that person by saying that?"
He has a bad temper and now he has become the emperor. It is said that serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. Will he chop off the girl's head in a fit of rage?
No, that guy loves the girl so much, how could he bear to chop off her head.
If he really had to chop off someone, he would chop off the head of this little maid.
Thinking of this, Sang Ru felt a chill on the back of his neck, as if a knife was pointed at him.
Yu Qinghuan gave her a reassuring look. If Xiao Jinghe was really angry, he could be appeased by a few nice words.
Although this man has a bad temper, he is actually easier to coax than Xie Zhili. This is what she discovered during her time in the palace.
In the palace, the guard told Xiao Jinghe exactly what Yu Qinghuan had said.
Xiao Jinghe's face darkened, "Did she really say that?!"
The guard gritted his teeth and replied, "Your Majesty, this is what Miss Yu said."
There was a "clang" sound, which was the sound of the teacup falling to the ground.
The eunuchs in the hall knelt together, and the one in the lead had black eyes. This Majesty was even more difficult to serve than the late emperor, and he would smash the teacups at the slightest provocation.
Even though he had smashed the teacup, Xiao Jinghe was still holding back his anger. He slammed the table and stood up, with a cold face, he ordered, "Prepare the carriage, I want to leave the palace!"
He didn't even come to see me when I was sick, and yet he said such heartless words.
This woman was really spoiled by him. Today he was going to ask her in person if she would not even blink an eye if he died one day.
The guard did not dare to delay and hurriedly followed, while signaling the eunuch next to him to prepare a change of clothes.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Jinghe was not satisfied and asked someone to change his clothes into a better-looking one with a cold face.
Since I'm going to question Yu Qinghuan, I can't lose my momentum.
...
As dusk fell, Yu Qinghuan finally explained everything clearly and took Sang Ru back to Cheng Mansion.
Xie Zhiwen, who was in Xifeng Tower, hurriedly caught up. Seeing that the carriage was not heading towards the house, his heart skipped a beat. Where was she going?
Could it be...that she wants to meet the father of her unborn child!
The carriage moved steadily towards the Cheng Mansion. Yu Qinghuan leaned lazily on Sang Ru's shoulder and rubbed her stomach. "I'll ask the kitchen to make two more dishes later. I'm a little tired today."
Sang Ru agreed with a smile.
Unexpectedly, just as the carriage was about to arrive at Cheng Mansion, another luxurious carriage blocked its way.
The groom frowned and shouted, "Move aside, you're blocking the road!"
Don't you see where you are? This is the residence of the Prime Minister of the current dynasty, and you dare to block the way here.
Hearing the coachman's voice, Sang Ru leaned over to look, and saw a figure walking down from the carriage that was blocking the road in front.
The man in luxurious clothes, flanked by people, and with a cold face, was none other than Xiao Jinghe, the man who had just ascended the throne, desperately searching for his daughter, pretending to be sick but only to be discovered by her?!
Sang Ru was so frightened that she drew her head back and trembled as she spoke, "The girl... is coming!"
Yu Qinghuan looked puzzled, but before she could ask, a low and cold voice came from outside.
"Huanhuan, get off the carriage."
Yu Qinghuan was dumbfounded when he recognized Xiao Jinghe's voice. No, could the emperor leave the palace at will now?
Isn't he afraid of encountering assassins?
The groom wanted to scold him, but as a worker in the Cheng Mansion, he could recognize a good thing.
Although he had never seen this person before, he was dressed in jewels and must be rich or noble, which was not something a small person like him could afford.
Just when Yu Qinghuan was dumbfounded, Xiao Jinghe lost his patience and said again: "Get off the carriage, don't make me say it for the third time."
Under Sang Ru's gaze, Yu Qinghuan gritted her teeth, lifted the curtain, got off the carriage, and walked towards Xiao Jinghe under his cold gaze, feeling regretful.
If she had known that this guy would chase her out of the palace, she would not have said anything about looking for the imperial physician today. He must have come to settle the score with her.
At the same time, Xie Zhiwen, who was following from a distance, saw with his own eyes that Yu Qinghuan got out of the carriage and was approached by a man who even touched her.
He gritted his teeth, convinced that this was the adulterer.
But the man was too far away and blocked by obstacles, so Xie Zhiwen couldn't see his appearance clearly. So he got off the carriage and walked towards that side, determined to find out who was so bold as to covet his woman!
As he got closer, Xiao Jinghe coldly questioned the woman in front of him, "How dare you say those words? Am I so insignificant in your heart?"
Yu Qinghuan curled her lips, feeling innocent. "If you weren't pretending to be sick, I wouldn't have said that."
Xiao Jinghe sneered, "If you hadn't sneaked out of the palace, I wouldn't have pretended to be sick to force you out."
He laughed at himself in his heart. At that time, he actually thought that this woman had him in her heart. When she knew he was sick, she would rush to see him... What a joke.
He grabbed Yu Qinghuan's hand and said, "Come on, follow me back to the palace."
Yu Qinghuan frowned and shook off his hand, "I'm not going."
As the two argued, Xiao Jinghe's eyes turned red with anger, and his voice became hysterical, "Yu Qinghuan! Is marrying me so unfair to you?!"
At the same time, Xie Zhiwen, who finally approached, heard the voice and saw clearly the face of the man standing in front of Yu Qinghuan and pulling her.
Xie Zhiwen suddenly froze in place, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his ears buzzed, as if he was struck by a thunderbolt. The blood in his body froze at that moment, and a chill rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. He even held his breath.
He stared at the face that he had seen countless times at palace banquets. It was the former Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace and now the new emperor - Xiao Jinghe.
How could it be him!?
Perhaps Xie Zhiwen's gaze was too obvious, Xiao Jinghe noticed it and looked over.
Xie Zhiwen subconsciously hid himself. He staggered and his back hit the brick wall at the entrance of the alley. The overwhelming anger was suppressed by a wave of sadness, which spread from his heart and made it difficult for him to breathe.
His face was pale, and even though he didn't want to admit it, the facts were right in front of him.
The child in Yu Qinghuan's belly... is Xiao Jinghe's.
When did Ah Huan become involved with Xiao Jinghe? It was clear that they had just moved away half a year ago. Or, had they already been together since the time they were in Jiuchong Mountain...
But he also thought, maybe Ah Huan was forced. She was born beautiful and any man would be moved when he saw her. It was Xiao Jinghe who coveted her and abused his power, so she had no choice but to get involved with Xiao Jinghe.
Just like when she was forced to have sex with Xie Zhili...
At this moment, Xie Zhiwen even wished that the adulterer was just his younger brother Xie Zhili.
