This was the first time Xu Yan saw He Xun so angry. He stood in front of her, as if he was protecting her. Liang Yu, who was hated by him, still looked lazy. He leaned against the trunk of the tree, as if he didn't care about everything that was happening here.

He Xun's originally gentle voice became cold and hard at this moment. He said to Liang Yu coldly: "What is the Sixth Prince's intention to force my daughter Xu Guo's wife?"

Liang Yu did not answer, but looked at Xu Yan after hearing his question, staring at her without moving. After a while, he said, "How do you know that she was not voluntarily but I took it away by force?"

Xu Yan looked at the two of them guiltily. Seeing that He Xun was about to rush up to do something to Liang Yu, Xu Yan quickly admitted his mistake and said, "Sorry, I'm just playing tricks. I didn't have time to tell you when I left, which made you worry."

He Xun never thought Xu Yan would say this. He was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Xu Yan, with complex eyes: "Your Highness, why are you talking for him? Could it be you..." Before he finished speaking, he stopped continuing. He only continued to look at Xu Yan, with the emotion in his eyes that Xu Yan didn't want to understand.

Liang Yu, who was on the side, kept silently observing what was happening here. After seeing this scene, he smiled unidentifiablely and said to Xu Yan: "It seems that your loyal guard is jealous." Then, he picked up the sword beside him and walked forward, leaving no farewell words.

Xu Yan from this side showed an embarrassing smile to He Xun. When he was about to explain something to him, He Xun walked away without looking back. Xu Yan was about to come forward to chase him, and Yingchun's cry came from behind: "Your Highness!"

Xu Yan looked back and found that Yingchun was coming with He Xun. Because of the fight, he did not go forward, but just waited not far away. He came forward after seeing the conversation between the three of them.

Seeing Xu Yan looking at her, Yingchun hurriedly trotted a few steps in front of Xu Yan. The white and beautiful face was covered with sweat. She wiped it casually and then looked at Xu Yan worriedly and said, "Your Highness, are you okay?"

Xu Yan hurriedly handed her his veil and replied, "What can I do? On the contrary, you are scared all the way."

Yingchun guessed the whole story from her words and the performance of the three of them just now, and did not pick it up at this time. She just comforted Xu Yan: "It's okay, the servants all regard your affairs as the key. I'm nervous that your noble is the servants' affairs." After saying that, he looked not far away.

Xu Yan looked back along her gaze. It was He Xun's thin figure leading the carriage. Somehow, Xu Yan suddenly felt extremely deep guilt in her heart. She did not dare to look at He Xun again, and hurriedly got on the carriage.

The days after returning to the palace were boring for decades. Xu Yan lay on the bed and recalled the reactions of the people around her during the past few days she returned to the palace.

They seemed to know in advance that she was going back to the palace, so when she came back, they didn't have any special emotions, but they just performed their own duties, which made Xu Yan a little uncomfortable. However, it's better to have less things than to do more. Since the palace people have no expression, why should she have to worry about it?

Just when Xu Yan was bored and even wanted to study, the sound from the hall attracted her attention. It was originally just the sound of porcelain breaking, and then there was a rustling discussion. Xu Yan put on his shirt and hurried towards the source of the sound.

Who would have thought that as soon as she opened the pearl curtain, she was stopped by Xia Zhi. She smiled politely at Xu Yan and said, "Why did Your Highness come out? It's just a trivial matter. Your Highness has been working hard for several days, so you should rest now. Sister Yingchun is already dealing with it."

Just as Xia Zhi was talking here, there was already sob sound inside. Xu Yan stretched his neck and tried hard to see clearly what happened behind the screen, but it ended in failure. Seeing her like this, Xia Zhi moved quietly to Xu Yan straight ahead.

Xu Yan didn't understand what was happening inside that she couldn't see, so she turned cold: "How many years have you been a palace maid now?" Xia Zhi didn't understand what she meant, and replied hesitantly: "It's been six years by June this year. He has also served by His Highness for four years."

Xu Yan said lightly: "Now it seems that you only have qualifications left. In other aspects, you are not as good as the palace maids who have just entered the palace."

Xia Zhi didn't expect Xu Yan to say this, but was stunned for a moment and pushed away by Xu Yan. The person behind the screen did not expect Xu Yan to come. Yingchun even glanced at Xia Zhi behind Xu Yan. Xia Zhi did not dare to meet Yingchun's eyes, but just lowered his head and remained silent.

Yingchun then smiled at Xu Yan and greeted him: "Why is Your Highness coming? It's just a trivial matter, and you've even been alarmed. It's really my fault. I'll leave now and don't disturb Your Highness's rest." After saying that, Yingchun led Chuqiu, who was crying behind him, ready to retreat to the outside of the hall.

Xu Yan ignored what Yingchun said, and her eyes were fixed on Chuqiu's face for a long time. When Yingchun was about to pull Chuqiu down, Xu Yan, who had been silent, said, "Wait, let Chuqiu stay here, you all retreat."

Yingchun and Xia Zhi looked at each other in embarrassment and wanted to continue persuading Xu Yan, but were stopped by Xu Yan's cold eyes. They could only respond: "Yes." Then they retreated.

Xu Yan looked at the broken porcelain pieces scattered all over the ground and Chu Qiu, who was still sobbing on the ground, squatting down and looking straight to her, and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Chu Qiu didn't dare to look up at Xu Yan, but just lowered his head and sobbed, "Sorry, Your Highness, I really didn't mean it. I just trembled my hands and didn't pay attention, so I broke the porcelain cup that Your Highness used most often."

When Xu Yan heard Chu Qiu's words, she noticed that the fragments on the ground were her most beloved set of flawless green jade porcelain cups! But looking at Chu Qiu's fearful expression, Xu Yan could only endure the heartache and comfort her, "It's okay, it's just a teacup, it's broken and it's broken. You haven't been cut by the broken porcelain pieces, right?"

Chuqiu didn't expect Xu Yan to comfort her, and even the sobs paused for a moment. Then she cried even louder. Xu Yan didn't understand what the problem was, so hesitated and asked, "What's wrong? Do you have anything else to worry about?"

Chu Qiu choked and replied, "No, Your Highness, No. It's my fault. I've always been sorry to you!"

Xu Yan didn't understand what she was referring to. When Chu Qiu suddenly raised her head, her bright eyes stared at Xu Yan with a wrong look, and then grabbed Xu Yan tightly and said, "I know that Your Highness is a good person. What I have been doing for so many years is wrong. I don't ask Your Highness for forgiveness, I just want Your Highness to save my mother!"

Xu Yan was a little dizzy when she was shaken by Chuqiu. She looked at Chuqiu, who looked anxious, and quickly grabbed the point in her words and asked, "What's wrong with your mother?"

In early autumn, I did not wait for Xu Yan to ask questions one by one, but instead talked about everything as if pouring beans on bamboo tubes.

"When I first entered the palace, I was just a little palace maid from the washing clothes bureau. I never had any idea of ​​becoming a noble or a great palace maid. I just wanted to survive the years I entered the palace. I didn't expect that my mother suddenly became seriously ill and needed a lot of money to treat the disease. I had no choice but to agree to the request of Sister Yingchun and her master."

"I really never thought about what to do to Your Highness. Everything is my master's request. Now I only hope that Your Highness can save me without any grudges!"
