Chapter 57: Glimpse "Shushu really made me angry today. ...
When Yan Qingwan heard Yan Ruxue's words, she knew that Yan Ruxue had taken the bait. A hint of success flashed across her eyes, and she deliberately covered her lips and laughed softly:
"Princess Qionghua is such a joker. How could Concubine Yan have done anything wrong? If she had done anything wrong, the Queen Mother would have rejected the King's proposal long ago."
What's wrong with that?
Yan Ruxue lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then seemed to remember something, and a hint of ruthlessness suddenly flashed across her eyes.
"Fault? Of course she's wrong!"
Isn't murdering the Xiao State's hostage a capital crime?
After all, it was Yan Shu who pushed the proton into the snake cave with her own hands. The death of the proton of Xiao State was definitely related to her.
The more Yan Ruxue thought about it, the more proud she felt.
She just didn't believe that if King Xiao knew that Yan Shu was such a terrible and vicious woman, he would still continue to make her the queen.
Thinking of this, Yan Ruxue curled her lips, then raised her eyes and looked at Yan Qingwan beside her with some contempt, and said loudly: "Why don't you take me to see your queen mother? After seeing her, I will let her know what Yan Shu's mistakes are."
Upon hearing this, Yan Qingwan immediately responded and then led Yan Ruxue towards the Suning Palace.
Meanwhile, Yan Shu was boating on the lake with the princesses of Qi and Chu, eating lotus seeds freshly picked by the eunuchs while admiring the scenery of Luochi.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the construction of Luo Palace will begin. It will take a year and may be completed by next autumn.
If she could really move in at that time, she would be able to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Luochi every day.
After chatting with Qi and Chu for a while, they all returned to the palace one after another, saying they were tired. Before leaving, Yan Shu picked a lot of lotus seeds, some of which she asked the eunuchs to send to her Baohua Hall, while others she prepared to take to Changming Palace herself.
It just so happened that she wanted to talk to Xiao Yu about Yan Ruxue.
After all, the biggest hatred between her and Xiao Yu now is the incident six years ago when she pushed him into the snake cave. If this knot is not untied, then the resentment will always remain in their hearts.
And now that Yan Ruxue has come to Xiao State at night, she has to explain things clearly to Xiao Yu.
When Yan Shu arrived at Changming Palace in a sedan chair, she happened to run into the three envoys and Ming Yi coming out of the palace.
One of the men in a moon-white robe was called Yan Shu, who looked very familiar.
Qing Tao beside her was also surprised and said, "Princess, isn't that Master Taizhu?"
Yan Shu was stunned, a little surprised that Xie Heng would appear here.
Could it be that he is the envoy sent by Yan State this time?
Xie Heng, who was walking beside the other envoys, naturally noticed Yan Shu in front of the hall at this moment. After seeing her beauty, his eyes, as gentle as jade, suddenly lit up.
Then Yan Shu saw Xie Heng whispering something to the people around him, and those people left first.
Xie Heng walked towards her step by step.
"Your servant Xie Heng pays homage to Princess Zhaohua."
When he approached, Xie Heng immediately bowed respectfully to Yan Shu.
Yan Shu quickly said, "Master Taizhu, there's no need to be so polite."
After Xie Heng finished his greeting, he stood up and then his eyes fell on the girl in front of him, with tenderness and cherishing in his eyes.
"It's been a while since we last met. Princess Zhaohua, have you been doing well these days? Madam Hui is really worried about you."
Yan Shu was stunned when she heard this, her nose immediately felt sore, and a hint of bitterness began to spread in her heart.
The little girl hadn't heard from her mother for such a long time after coming to Xiao State. Now, when she suddenly heard that her mother was still worried about her, she couldn't help but cry.
But now was not the time to cry. Yan Shu suppressed her sore eyes and immediately looked at Xie Heng and asked, "Master Taizhu, where is my mother? Is my mother okay?"
Xie Heng nodded immediately.
"Princess, don't worry. Madam Hui is doing well." Xie Heng replied, looking at Yan Shu with deep affection in his eyes.
"Ever since the princess left Yan State, Madam Hui has gone to the ancestral temple to pray for the late queen dowager. Although life has become more difficult than before, fortunately, the queen is far away and cannot disturb Madam Hui now."
Moreover, this year, there are many more young and beautiful concubines in the Yan Palace, all of whom are vying for beauty. Queen Yan has long been overwhelmed by her desires and has no time to care about a lady who has long lost favor and has hidden in the ancestral temple to pray for blessings.
Yan Shu felt relieved when she heard what Xie Heng said.
Yan Ruxue's words just now still made her feel scared. She was afraid that her mother was still being bullied by Queen Yan in Yan Palace. Only when she heard that her mother had gone to the ancestral temple did Yan Shu feel relieved.
She knew that all matters concerning the sacrificial offerings in the Yan Palace ancestral temple were managed by Xie Heng. Xie Heng must have secretly helped a lot in the fact that her mother could now live a peaceful life in Yongnian.
"Zhaohua thanks Lord Taizhu very much." Yan Shu burst into tears of gratitude and immediately bowed to Xie Heng.
Xie Heng's expression tightened, and he quickly raised his hand to support the girl's arm, frowning.
"Princess, why do you need to thank me? Since I promised you, I will definitely protect Madam Hui's safety from now on."
Hearing Xie Heng's words, Yan Shu nodded with tears in her eyes, her watery almond eyes filled with gratitude.
But this situation is not the case in the eyes of others.
The man and woman are in love, holding hands and looking at each other with tears in their eyes, just like a pair of mandarin ducks that have been beaten with a stick, which is really heartbreaking.
The young king stood quietly by the window, looking at the two people talking outside the palace. The dark color in his eyes gradually gathered, and a hint of gloom appeared.
The thin, crimson lips were pursed into a straight line in displeasure.
The dense jealousy tore at Xiao Yu's internal organs.
His Shushu had never looked at him like this before.
Is she an old acquaintance of the envoy from the State of Yan?
Does Shushu like him?
Or do they like each other?
Xiao Yu's gaze fell on Xie Heng. Seeing his gentle face, his dark eyes were filled with jealousy.
This kind of naturally gentle face without any disguise is probably what his Shushu likes the most.
Looking at Xie Heng's hand resting on the girl's arm, Xiao Yu's eyes were instantly filled with a layer of gray death.
Yan Shu, who was talking to Xie Heng, suddenly felt an inexplicable chill. She instinctively raised her head and saw the familiar figure in the window of Changming Palace.
The black robe was dark, and the pair of dark eyes looking over were like a poisonous snake secretly watching for its prey, sinister and intimidating.
Yan Shu shuddered, instinctively feeling that Xiao Yu was angry.
As for what he was angry about, it was obvious at this moment when he saw Xie Heng's hand on his arm.
Seeing the girl who seemed a little dazed, Xie Heng couldn't help but call out.
"Princess?"
Yan Shu finally came back to her senses and hurriedly said to Xie Heng, "Master Taizhu, I have something else to do today, so I'll leave first. We can talk again another day when we're free."
After Yan Shu finished speaking, she looked towards the window again.
But the figure by the window had long disappeared, which made her heart tighten suddenly.
Before Xie Heng could say anything, he saw the girl in front of him holding up her skirt and hurried towards Changming Palace.
Xie Heng frowned slightly, looking at Yan Shu's back as if he was thinking about something.
When Yan Shu hurried into the inner hall, she saw Xiao Yu standing sideways to her, next to the bronze sword placed horizontally on the sandalwood stand. His slender fingertips brushed across it one by one, and his expression was unusually calm.
"Your Majesty." Yan Shu suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and immediately looked up and called him.
The tall figure did pause, but did not turn around to look at her.
But the low and cold tone gradually sounded in the extremely silent hall, and every word fell into Yan Shu's ears.
"Shushu really made me angry today."
