This was the first time Xu Yan saw He Xun looking so angry. He stood in front of her, as if to protect her. Liang Yu, who was being hated by him, still looked lazy. He leaned against the tree trunk.

It seems like he doesn't care about what's going on here.

He Xun's originally gentle voice turned cold and hard at this moment. He said coldly to Liang Yu: "What is the purpose of the Sixth Prince forcibly taking away my daughter Xu?"

Liang Yu did not answer, but looked at Xu Yan after hearing his question, staring at her motionless. After a moment, he said: "How do you know that she was not taken away voluntarily but by me forcibly?"

Xu Yan looked at the two of them with a guilty conscience. When he saw that He Xun was about to rush up and do something to Liang Yu, Xu Yan hurriedly admitted his mistake and said: "I'm sorry, I was just having fun. I didn't have time to tell you when I left.

You are worried."

He Xun never thought that Xu Yan would say this. He was stunned for a moment and then turned to look at Xu Yan with complicated eyes: "Your Highness, why do you want to speak for him? Could it be that you..." He didn't say anything.

After that, he stopped and just continued to look at Xu Yan, with emotions in his eyes that Xu Yan didn't want to understand.

Liang Yu, who was on one side, had been silently observing what was happening here. After seeing this scene, he showed an unknown smile, and then said to Xu Yan: "It seems that your loyal little guard is jealous." Then,

He picked up the sword at his side and walked forward without leaving any words of farewell.

Xu Yan on this side showed an awkward smile to He Xun, and when he was about to explain something to him, He Xun walked away without looking back. Xu Yan was about to chase him, when a spring greeting came from behind.

Cry: "Your Highness!"

Xu Yan looked back and realized that Yingchun had also come with He Xun. Because of the fight, he didn't go forward but waited not far away. After seeing the conversation between the three of them, he went up.

Come.

When Yingchun saw Xu Yan looking at her, she hurriedly ran a few steps to Xu Yan. There were dense beads of sweat on her fair and beautiful face. She wiped it casually and then looked at Xu Yan worriedly and said, "Your Highness, are you okay?"

Xu Yan hurriedly handed her her handkerchief and replied: "What can happen to me? It's you who have been worried and scared all the way."

Yingchun guessed the whole story from her words and the behavior of the three people just now. She did not criticize her at this time, but just comforted Xu Yan and said: "It's okay. The servants all regard His Highness's affairs as their top priority. Your Highness is nervous."

It's the job of the slaves." After saying that, he looked not far away.

Xu Yan followed her gaze and looked back. It was He Xun's thin figure holding the carriage. Somehow, Xu Yan suddenly felt a deep sense of guilt in her heart. She didn't dare to look at He Xun again and hurriedly got on.

carriage.

The days after returning to the palace have been boring for decades. Xu Yan was lying on the bed thinking about the reactions of the people around her during the past few days when she returned to the palace.

They all seemed to know in advance that she was going back to the palace, so they didn't have any special emotions when she came back, and they just performed their duties, which made Xu Yan a little uncomfortable. But it is better to do less than to do more, since the palace people

She didn't express anything, so why should she bother herself?

Just when Xu Yan was bored and even thought about not studying, the noise coming from the hall caught her attention. At first it was just the sound of broken porcelain, but then there was the sound of rustling discussions. Xu Yan put on a blouse.

He hurriedly walked towards the source of the sound.

Who would have thought that she was stopped by Xia Zhi as soon as she opened the bead curtain. She gave Xu Yan a polite smile and said, "Why is Your Highness coming out? It's just a trivial matter. Your Highness has been working hard for a few days, so he should have a good rest now."

That's it. Sister Yingchun is already handling it inside."

Just as Xia Zhi was talking here, sobs could be heard inside. Xu Yan stretched his neck and tried his best to see clearly what was going on behind the screen, but failed. Seeing her like this, Xia Zhi calmly

Moved a step directly in front of Xu Yan.

Xu Yan didn't understand what was going on inside that she couldn't see, so she turned cold and said, "How many years have you been a palace maid?"

It will be six years since Yue. I have been serving His Highness for four years."

Xu Yan said calmly: "Now it seems that you only have seniority. In other aspects, you are not as good as the palace maid who knows the rules for the first time."

Xia Zhi did not expect that Xu Yan would say these words. He was stunned for a moment and was pushed away by Xu Yan. The person behind the screen did not expect that Xu Yan would come. Ying Chun 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 immediately smiled at Xu Yan and stepped forward: "Why is Your Highness here? It's just a trivial matter, but it has even alarmed you. It is really the fault of the servants. The servants will retreat now so as not to disturb His Highness' rest.

"After saying this, Yingchun took Chuqiu, who was crying behind him, and prepared to retreat outside the palace.

Xu Yan ignored what Yingchun said. Her eyes were fixed on Chuqiu's face for a long time. When Yingchun was about to pull Chuqiu away, Xu Yan, who had been silent, stopped her and said, "Wait a minute, let Chuqiu retreat."

Stay here, you all, please retreat."

Yingchun and Xia Zhi looked at each other in embarrassment and still wanted to continue to persuade Xu Yan, but Xu Yan's cold eyes stopped them from going back. They could only respond: "Yes." Then they retreated.

Xu Yan looked at the broken porcelain pieces scattered on the ground and Chu Qiu who was still sobbing while squatting on the ground. He also squatted down to look at her level and asked: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Chu Qiu did not dare to look up at Xu Yan, but lowered her head and sobbed: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I really didn't mean it. I just broke the porcelain cup that Your Highness often uses because my hands were shaking and I didn't pay attention."

When Xu Yan heard Chu Qiu's words, she noticed that the fragments on the ground turned out to be her most beloved set of flawless sapphire porcelain cups! But looking at Chu Qiu's frightened expression, Xu Yan could only endure the heartache and comfort her and said

: "It's okay, it's just a teacup. If it breaks, it will break. You weren't cut by the broken porcelain, were you?"

Chu Qiu didn't expect Xu Yan to comfort her, and even her sobbing paused for a moment. Then she cried even louder. Xu Yan didn't understand what the problem was, so he hesitated and asked: "What's wrong? What else do you have?

Are you worried about something?"

Chuqiu choked up and replied: "No, Your Highness, no. It's my fault. It's my fault that I've always been sorry for Your Highness!"

Xu Yan didn't understand what she was referring to. Just when he was about to ask again, Chu Qiu suddenly raised his head and stared at Xu Yan with a pair of bright eyes. Then he held Xu Yan tightly and said, "This slave knows that Your Highness

He is a good person. What I have done all these years is wrong. I don’t ask His Highness for forgiveness, I only ask His Highness to save my mother!"

Xu Yan was a little dizzy from being shaken by Chu Qiu. She looked at Chu Qiu who looked anxious, quickly caught the key point of her words and asked: "What's wrong with your mother?"

This time Chu Qiu didn't wait for Xu Yan to ask questions, but told everything like pouring beans into a bamboo tube.

"When I first entered the palace, I was just a little palace maid in the clothes bureau. I never had any idea of ​​becoming a noble or a big palace lady. I just wanted to get through the past few years in the palace peacefully. I didn't expect that my mother suddenly suddenly

He is seriously ill and needs a lot of money to treat his illness. I have no choice but to agree to the request of Sister Yingchun and my master."

"I have never thought about doing anything to His Highness. Everything is the request of my master. Now I only ask that Your Highness can ignore the past grudges and save my mother-in-law!"
