Chapter 1091 is like sending a sheep into a tiger's mouth, there is no return!
At this point, the truth has become very clear.
Luo Qinghan ordered his men to take Yan Cairen away.
Yan Cairen begged, "Your Majesty, please remember what you promised me!"
Luo Qinghan ignored her.
After Yan Cairen was taken away, Luo Qinghan looked at Zhao Xian with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.
"Is Baofu really rescued?"
Zhao Xian knelt on one knee and said, "Miss Baofu was not rescued. She died just now.
The imperial physician said that she had taken too much arsenic and even a god could not save her.
The reason why I said that just now was to trick Mr. Yan.
I did not mean to deceive Your Majesty, please forgive me."
He had long noticed that something was wrong with Yan Cairen and had become suspicious of her. He had originally hoped that Baofu would be able to identify Yan Cairen after waking up, but this hope was completely shattered after Baofu died.
Zhao Xian didn't want the clue to end with Baofu, so he decided to take a gamble and lied that Baofu was rescued to see how Yan Cairen would react.
The result did not disappoint him.
Yan Cairen was indeed in a state of panic and revealed her true colors in a state of fright.
He planned to confess the truth to the emperor after Concubine Yan confessed, but he didn't expect that the emperor had already seen through his lie.
I can only say that the emperor is truly worthy of being the emperor.
Not only is he thoughtful, but he's also very responsive.
In such a short time, the emperor had already thought of a plan and made the most appropriate response, so as not to waste this opportunity.
Luo Qinghan: "This time, there was a reason for it, so let's just forget about it. If something like this happens again in the future, don't act on your own initiative."
Zhao Xian bowed his head and replied, "Yes."
Luo Qinghan motioned for him to stand up.
Zhao Xian stood up and asked cautiously.
"Should I send someone to the Princess's residence now?"
Luo Qinghan stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the courtyard outside, and after a long time he slowly uttered a word.
"Go and bring Xia Yifei into the palace, and also help me pass on a message to my aunt."
…
Xia Yifei had been living at his grandfather's house not long ago and only returned to the Princess's Mansion the day before yesterday.
Because Princess Hua'an had arranged a marriage for him, she called him back specifically to arrange a blind date for him.
In order to prevent Xia Yifei from thinking too much, Princess Hua An did not tell him about the blind date from beginning to end, and only revealed it to him this morning.
Xia Yifei was very unhappy.
He doesn't want to go on a blind date.
He had already promised to marry Lu Xinyao, so he couldn't go back on his word.
Keeping promises is the most basic ethics for a gentleman.
Princess Hua'an knew that her son was conservative to the point of being rigid in some aspects, so she was not surprised by his reaction.
At the same time, she also knew that her son would only respond to soft words and not hard ones.
So she wiped her tears and cried to her son, telling him how difficult it was to arrange a marriage for him. She was already in poor health, and had to take care of all the affairs in the house. She was exhausted every day, but her son didn't appreciate it, which really hurt her heart.
Xia Yifei was most afraid of women crying, especially his mother.
When Xia Yifei saw her crying, he panicked.
Moreover, Princess Hua An had indeed lost a lot of weight, and even with thick makeup on her face, it still couldn't hide her tired look.
I don’t know what she has been through recently, but she seems to have aged several years.
When Xia Yifei saw his mother like this, he felt very guilty.
Not only did he fail to share his mother's worries, but he also added to her burden. He was truly a bad son.
Driven by guilt, Xia Yifei finally chose to compromise.
Princess Hua'an wiped away her tears with satisfaction.
In order to avoid any unexpected problems during the blind date, Princess Hua An deliberately sent Lu Xinyao out in advance to ensure that she would not come back that day.
Just when Princess Hua'an had prepared everything and was waiting for the woman's elders to come.
Someone suddenly came to the palace.
The one who came was the commander of the Imperial Guard, Zhao Xian.
Zhao Xian first bowed to Princess Hua'an, and then spoke seriously.
"The emperor has ordered that Princess Xuan Hua'an's son Xia Yifei enter the palace to meet him!"
Princess Hua'an was shocked.
But she didn't show any expression on her face and asked in a puzzled manner.
"Why did your majesty suddenly think of sending Xuan Yifei to the palace? Did something happen in the palace?"
Zhao Xian: "This is the emperor's intention. I dare not speculate on it casually."
He paused and continued.
"The Emperor asked me to pass on a message to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Princess Huaan: "What?"
Zhao Xian spoke slowly, imitating the emperor's tone.
"Aunt, can I still call you aunt?"
Princess Huaan: "..."
She pulled the corners of her mouth and forced a stiff smile.
"How can you say such a thing, Your Majesty? I will always be his aunt."
Zhao Xian said sternly, "I don't know about that. Please follow me to the palace as soon as possible, Mr. Xia, and don't keep the emperor waiting for too long."
The emperor's order could not be disobeyed. Even if Princess Hua'an was unwilling in her heart, she dared not stop it. She could only secretly wink at the maid serving her, hinting that the maid should quickly let the eldest son leave the Princess's Mansion. On her side, she tried her best to delay Zhao Xian and buy time for her son to leave.
However, before the maids walked out of the room, Zhao Xian discovered their little actions.
Zhao Xian said coldly: "I have ordered people to surround the entire princess's mansion. Now, let alone a living person, not even a fly can fly out."
The maid froze in her tracks.
She looked at the eldest princess helplessly.
The smile on Princess Hua'an's face could no longer be maintained.
Her expression became increasingly ugly: "Even if you are the Royal Guards, you are not qualified to surround the Princess's Mansion, right?"
Zhao Xian: "I am acting on orders, I hope Her Royal Highness the Princess will forgive me."
Princess Hua'an clenched her fingers, hidden in her wide sleeves, into fists, her long nails almost piercing into her flesh.
But she didn't feel any pain at this moment.
The emperor must have known about her collusion with Tianmen, so he sent the imperial guards to surround the princess's mansion.
Letting Xia Yifei enter the palace at this time is like sending a sheep into a tiger's mouth, there is no way back!
Princess Hua'an's daughter has been trapped in the wolf's den, and she doesn't want her son to fall into it as well.
She gritted her teeth and said hard.
"Yifei hasn't been feeling well these past two days, so I'm afraid he can't come into the palace. Why don't you let me go? You can tell me what the emperor has to say."
Zhao Xian looked at her steadily: "Sorry, the emperor's order cannot be disobeyed."
Princess Hua An could only take a step back: "How about this, I will accompany Yifei to the palace? Although the emperor specifically asked for Yifei to enter the palace, he did not say that others were not allowed to accompany him. This does not count as disobeying the imperial decree."
Zhao Xian thought about it and agreed.
"Then please set off as soon as possible, Your Highness."
Princess Hua'an went back to her room to change her clothes, and asked someone to send a letter to the family who was going to have a blind date, informing them that the date of the blind date had been postponed and that the specific date would be decided later.
Then she took Xia Yifei and left the Princess's Mansion and took a carriage to the palace.
