I've been reborn, who would still raise a son from another family? Go away

When Emperor Hexu and his entourage arrived at Xie Wenyu's yard, the gate was open.

Concubine Xian put her index finger to her lips and whispered to Emperor Hexu, "Your Majesty, I'll go over there in a bit. Please talk to the Third Prince first and don't be too anxious."

Emperor Hexu nodded and walked into the courtyard with the help of Concubine Xian.

Liu Zimo, Xie Jingrui and the others all happened to arrive together.

The guards accompanying him followed closely behind.

Xie Jingrui raised his hand and said to those people, "All of you go down."

They came into the courtyard, only to see Liu Yueru and Xie Wenyu sitting opposite each other.

Xie Wenyu holds the black chess pieces and Liu Yueru holds the white chess pieces, and their chess skills are equally matched.

No one spoke.

Instead, he quietly walked over to the two of them, sat down on the embroidered cushion, and watched them play chess.

The hostility in Xie Wenyu gradually subsided.

Emperor Hexu's gaze fell on the wounds on Xie Wenyu's face, his eyes full of heartache, as he watched the two of them in a stalemate.

Emperor Hexu rolled up his sleeves and asked Xie Wenyu in a low voice with some expectation, "Third brother, would you like to play a game with me?"

Only then did Xie Wenyu look up at the old-looking Emperor Hexu in front of him.

He was stunned for a moment, and blurted out, "How did you age so much?"

Emperor Hexu smiled bitterly and touched his face. "There are so many affairs in the court that I am exhausted, but I have to take care of them."

Seeing him like this, Xie Wenyu suddenly felt relieved.

He glanced in the direction of Liu Yueru, who hurriedly stood up and gave her seat to Emperor Hexu.

The two continued with the unfinished game that Liu Yueru had just played.

After the two of them had a few conversations, Xie Wenyu's eyes moved slightly as he looked at Emperor Hexu.

"Your Majesty! Why should you give in to me?" Xie Wenyu asked with some dissatisfaction.

Emperor Hexu put the white chess piece aside and looked at Xie Wenyu's scarred hand. "It's not about giving in, but respect. The person I respect the most in the whole capital is my third brother. At that time, although you were young, you had the world in your heart. If you hadn't gone to war and turned the tide thirty years ago, there wouldn't be the peace in the capital today."

Xie Wenyu's dark eyes lit up a little.

Emperor Hexu continued to say to Xie Wenyu, "In recent years, in order to prevent Kyoto from repeating the same mistakes, I have continuously strengthened the military forces, so that if those ghosts come to attack us again one day, we can strike back in one fell swoop."

"Do you really think so? Xie Wenyu's voice was trembling a little."

Emperor Hexu grabbed Xie Wenyu's hand; "Yes, I know that you have been pretending to be crazy and stupid all these years, just because you don't want to see me, so I only dare to come to visit you secretly. We all remember the suffering you have endured, and one day, those grudges will definitely be avenged."

"They are coming again." When Xie Wenyu heard the word "ghost clan", his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Emperor Hexu took a step forward, put his arm around Xie Wenyu's shoulders, and comforted her. "Don't be afraid. We are here with you this time. Even if I sacrifice my life, I won't let them hurt you in the slightest."

"Are they really coming? And is that person the leader?" Xie Wenyu looked at Hexu Emperor with bloodshot eyes.

Emperor Hexu did not intend to hide it from him, and said frankly, "Yes, within three days, they will start attacking the city, and I heard that the leader is him."

As he spoke, he took out the provocative letter sent by the ghost clan from his arms and handed it to Xie Wenyu.

When Xie Wenyu read the contents of the letter, his head suddenly hurt severely. Those unbearable scenes kept hitting his brain.

The man even pulled down his pants in public and made fun of him.

"Ah!" Xie Wenyu suddenly howled towards the sky.

Finally, he fainted.

"Call the imperial physician." Emperor Hexu said with a gloomy face.

He looked at Liu Yueru, and said to the others, "You all go back and rest first, I will stay here."

"Your Majesty, your concubine......"

"You go back with us." Emperor Hexu said bluntly before Concubine Xian finished her words.

"Yes."

Xie Jingrui left behind several of his most capable secret guards to protect Emperor Hexu.

The rest of the people then left together.

Xie Jingrui and Liu Yueru rode in a sedan chair.

His eyes fell on the hem of Liu Yueru's skirt and saw yellow rust on it.

Bending down to check; "What's going on?"

Liu Yueru retracted her legs and shook her head. "Nothing happened. It's just that when I woke up, Third Uncle was worried that I would run away, so he tied me up with chains."

"However, the Third Uncle later let me go and let me play chess with him."

Xie Jingrui saw that Liu Yueru always kept her head down, and her collar was stained with blood.

He raised his hand and gently pulled her collar open a little, revealing the wound on her neck.

"Why don't you tell me the truth?" Xie Jingrui asked angrily.

Liu Yueru bit her lips lightly; "I didn't mean to hide it from you, it's just that Third Uncle's temper is unpredictable. Just now, I didn't dare to provoke him, for fear that he would do something crazy."

Xie Jingrui realized that his tone was not very good, so he said to Liu Yueru in a soft voice, "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, it's just a minor injury." Liu Yueru smiled brightly.

"Apart from this injury, are you injured anywhere else?" Xie Jingrui took Liu Yueru's hand and checked it carefully.

"Yes." Liu Yueru looked at Xie Jingrui with grievance.

"where?"

She pointed to her heart. "Here, I got frightened and sobered up."

Xie Jingrui laughed helplessly after hearing Liu Yueru's words, tapping her forehead with his fingertips a few times; "You are getting more and more daring."

The virtuous concubine arranged for everyone to stay in the palace.

The next morning, Emperor Hexu, with a tired look on his face, called Liu Fufeng and the others to the imperial study.

Liu Yueru followed the virtuous concubine as she strolled in the imperial garden.

The two of them suddenly felt someone staring at them intently from behind.

Liu Yueru and Concubine Xian turned around at the same time and saw Ye Yimu standing beside another woman in gorgeous clothes.

He also saw Concubine Xian and Liu Yueru on the other side.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Concubine." Rongpin saluted Her Majesty the Concubine in a perfunctory manner.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Concubine." Ye Yimu imitated the other person and saluted obediently.

The virtuous concubine glanced at the two of them calmly; "No need to be polite."

Then he explained to Liu Yueru, "This is Rongpin."

Only then did Liu Yueru bow slightly to greet him.

"The virtuous concubine is so capable." Rongpin suddenly spoke in a sarcastic tone.

Concubine Xian cast a cold gaze on Concubine Rong. "What do you mean?"

"There are rumors in the palace that the throne of Queen is vacant now, and it is very likely that it will belong to Concubine Xian. After all, we entered the palace together. In the future, if you become Queen, remember to take care of your former sisters." Rongpin's words were full of disrespect for Concubine Xian.
