C469 I am very happy

"County Lord, the cape has been passed to Princess Eleven." Jiang Keji said.

"Thank you, Commander Jiang. Please keep my visit a secret." Lian Ruyue said.

"If the emperor asks, this general will tell him the truth. If he doesn't, then this general won't say anything. After all, the county governor is only sending me a cape." Jiang Keji said as before.

"Thank you again." Lian Ruyue slightly nodded towards him, then turned around and took advantage of the night sky to leave.

In the prison cart, Feng Lingyue received the white fox fur cape. She raised her head to see Lian Ruyue's back as she left, her hands holding this warm fox fur. Finally, she buried her face in her cape, tears falling down her cheeks.

At dawn of the second day, everyone headed back to the capital. When Princess Thirteen woke up, she fainted. It was said that when she woke up, she had only said one thing —

"Sister Eleven, why did you hurt me?"

Under the persuasion of Xu Xian's wife, the Emperor, in consideration of the prestige of the royal family, had initially agreed to release Princess Eleven from the prison cart and return with the crowd to the palace. But because of Princess Eleven's words, she got off the prison cart and the Emperor ordered her to return in the prison cart.

Thus, Princess Eleven was escorted back to the palace under the watchful eyes of everyone. Once she got back to the palace, she was directly sent to the Sky Prison.

The Emperor was really cruel to this princess.

At this moment, Xiao Zhenhai had hurriedly escorted Xiao He home.

Once he returned home, he immediately locked himself in the woodshed and warned him that he absolutely could not do anything for the Eleventh Princess. He would also take this opportunity to ask the Emperor to contact Xiao He and the Eleventh Princess for their marriage.

Xiao He stood in the woodshed and slammed the door as he looked at Xiao Zhenhai's back. He loudly shouted, "Father, your son is begging you. Your son will listen to everything your father says. Please support your son."

Xiao Zhenhai suddenly turned around and said sternly:

"Wishful thinking!" "Impossible!"

Xiao He kicked the door hard, but there was a metal chain outside. No matter how strong he was, he could not escape this place. Actually, the thing that trapped him was not the house demolition, but the heavy word Xiao Clan.

His mama brought the food over and saw that the Second Young Master was like an injured lion. The back of his hands were bleeding from beating the window too hard.

"Second Young Master, it's time to eat." the Mammy called.

However, Xiao He sat motionlessly on the ground with his chest heaving up and down violently. He frowned as he clenched his fists tightly. He was always in high spirits and had never been as frustrated as he was now.

The food was right in front of him, but he didn't even look at it. When he brought it back, he simply kicked it away.

He had been starving for a whole day and night, eating without even drinking a single mouthful of water.

Even when Madam Xiao came to persuade him, he only said one thing — his mother had gone back to rest early.

When the news reached Xiao Zhenhai's ears, he angrily cut down a tree in the yard with his sword and scolded, "If he's hungry, then let him always be. Evil creature, how did I, Xiao Zhenhai, give birth to such a prodigal son?"

"Master, I think it's better to let He'er out first. If he goes on like this, his body will collapse." Madam Xiao really couldn't bear it any longer.

"Madam!" Why did you start messing around too! Wasn't this lesson enough?

It's a good thing that my achievements in the war are outstanding, so the Emperor did not immediately suspect that we were colluding with him. Right now, the Emperor is furious, and He'er has already collided with the Emperor for two consecutive days.

..." It was set up by someone! " "Lady Xiao said.

"Madam, I can see very clearly that the plot is only half done. Even if he has the heart to disobey, half will be done. The Emperor isn't muddle-headed!" Xiao Zhenhai frowned as he spoke.

"…" Madam Xiao did not say anything. On this matter, the Lu family was very passive.

Also, from the looks of this matter, the Emperor truly doted upon the Eleventh Princess, and he truly doted on her. Xiao He might as well marry the thirteenth princess, and now that Lian Zhao Yi is already pregnant, restoring Imperial Concubine Su's position is only a matter of time.

"But, Princess Thirteen's maternal grandfather is the Lian Clan. Her heart is for the Lian Clan."

"Lian Family? "Heh!" Xiao Zhenhai sneered, "Once she joins my Xiao family, she will be a member of the Xiao family. For a girl, the rise and fall of her husband's family is the most important. When that happens, she will naturally use her husband's interests as a starting point.

Madam Xiao's heart sank when she heard this —

Is the old master talking about her? She was in the same situation.

Xiao Zhenhai did not notice Madam Xiao's abnormal behavior and said with a serious face, "Madam, I know you love your son dearly. But you must remember, a good mother has many failed children. If you allow Xiao He to do what he does today, there will be regret in the future."

After saying that, Xiao Zhenhai walked out.

Madam Xiao stood there, feeling a chill in her heart.

The servant's food was delivered two or three times, but Xiao He didn't take a bite. He just sat by the pile of firewood, and when the light from the darkness shone on his resolute face, his face seemed even darker.

When Xiao Hu walked over and saw this scene, he sighed and said:

"Second brother, why must you go through so much trouble?" Xiao Hu and Xiao He usually had a good relationship. Xiao Zhen Hai had sent him to persuade Xiao He, but he couldn't do anything about it.

Xiao He finally felt a trace of life when he heard this little brother's voice. He stood up from the ground and clenched the window with both hands.

"Third brother, you came at the right time. Quickly open the door for me!"

"Second brother, I'm here to bring you food. Eat more." Xiao Hu stuffed the food under the door.

"I'm not eating, hurry and open the door." Xiao He didn't even take a glance at the food as he spoke.

"Second brother, actually, I came to advise you not to go against father. You are still a member of the Xiao family, so you should listen to father's arrangements." Xiao Hu said.

"Third brother, I can't ignore your little sister Yue'er. The empress is useless, the crown prince is already a cripple, she doesn't have anything right now. If I, my fiancé, don't care about her, she's too pitiful!" That Thirteenth Princess Feng Yunyao is not a good person at all, she must be the one who framed Lin Yue'er. " Xiao He's expression was extremely anxious.

Xiao Hu looked at Xiao He, sighed helplessly, and said, "Second brother, you are valiant and invincible on the battlefield, but you are too sentimental towards women in this matter. You are just a woman, how could you waste your time!

Actually, Princess Thirteen is your true companion. I just heard that Lian Zhaoyi is pregnant and that if she were to become a man in one fell swoop, then her return to Consort Su's position would be just around the corner. As for the empress, she has already run out of breath and has also heard that her health is currently very poor. At that time, Princess Eleven will be by herself. She won't be of any help to you. "

"Third Brother, my marriage has never been a bargaining chip, and Yue Er is not a chess piece either. I don't need her help.

She did not exist to help me, but she was someone who would make me happy. "

This was the first time Xiao Hu heard Xiao He say this, and his heart couldn't help but tremble. A person that made second brother feel happy?

"I don't understand what it means to be happy, but second brother, let's think about it. If you really marry Princess Eleven back home, would she really be happy?

Second brother, you are not living the life of a scholar in a play. You are the second young master of the Xiao family, and the rise and fall of the entire Xiao family is on your shoulders.

Her father didn't like her, so how would she live her life in the Xiao family? Also, Father will definitely force you to have three wives and four concubines. I think that Princess Eleven is very silly. When that concubine's room is surrounded by her, will she be able to fight it? Our family has no aunties, only two concubines. You don't know how fierce the people in the back rooms of the concubines are, if we don't talk about other things, I think even my family's aunt won't be able to return home now. "

"It's enough for me to marry her. I don't need three or four concubines. Since father doesn't have three or four concubines, isn't that fine as well?" Xiao He said confidently.

"Second Brother, can you wake up? Do you think you can be like Father?" Xiao Hu sighed and wished he could pour a bucket of cold water on his head.

"Third brother, I'm begging you. Just let me out this time. I will take care of the rest myself. I won't let the Xiao family suffer because of my son." Xiao He looked pleadingly at Xiao Hu as he pleaded.

Xiao Hu looked at him for a long time before he finally shook his head and said, "Sorry, second brother, I cannot go against father's wishes. Don't blame me." After saying that, he hurriedly turned around and left.

Xiao He was just about to shout when a key suddenly appeared on the window sill. He smiled and muttered. "Thank you, Third Brother. Big Brother will remember this favor."

Prime Minister's Estate.

Even Yueyue went to Qingan Courtyard to pay respects to her mother. The wives of the houses were there as well, each of them chatting about their daily life.

"Oh, Liuyue, I heard that Princess Thirteen fell ill in the stable. Do you know anything about this?" Suddenly, Mrs Liu from the third house asked.

"I was about to speak to Grandmother about this. Princess Thirteen is indeed ill." Lian Ruyue stood up and said, "Grandmother, shouldn't we go to the palace to visit?"

Her mother nodded and said, "I also have the same idea. I'll have Senior Servant Song prepare some gifts, so you can go to the palace and pay a proper visit to Princess Thirteen. When you get back, you can report to us."

"Yes, Grandmother. I'll go prepare it now." Lian Ruyue said.

"Go. That child is weak. Fortunately, the Emperor protected him, otherwise, how could he possibly survive in the depths of the palace? Take a good look at her and pass on a message for me." Mother ordered again.

Lian Ruyue accepted the order, then the mansion sent a carriage all the way to the palace.

When they arrived at the entrance of Yi Xiu Palace, they were led in by Senior Servant Chun. This Senior Servant Chun was the person who had accused Princess Eleven of harming the thirteenth princess that day.

When they arrived at the palace gates, Senior Servant Chun said, "County Lord, please come in."

Lian Ruyue nodded, then strode through the doorway and entered Feng Yunyao's room. She was leaning on the headboard, while Lian Zhaoyi was sitting in front of the bed.

Lian Ruyue stepped forward, and gently said, "Lian Ruyue pays her respects to esteemed empress Zhao Yi and the princess."

Lian Zhaoyi saw Lian Ruoyue and thought about the matter of the cruise ship. She couldn't help but feel a chill run through her heart. The corners of her mouth widened as she said, "Yue'er, you've come."

"In reply to Niangniang, I came here on Grandmother's orders. Grandmother heard that the princess wasn't feeling well and was thinking about her at home. For the past two days, I haven't eaten or thought about anything. I just want to know if the princess is well."

"Thank you Madam for your concern. After drinking the medicine, Ziyao is already better off." Even Zhaoyi appeared to be very polite. There was no pretended intimacy between the two of them anymore.

"Sister Eleven is really determined." Princess Thirteen sat on the bed, wiping away her tears. "She actually gave me dried snow clams and dried shellfish. Does she really want me to die?"
