Dress up as a sickly person to capture the villain princess!

There was no time to bend down and pick up the chess piece again.

Xia Zhiyuan walked in, with Zhao Changlin standing beside her.

At this time, all the members of the Xia family knelt on the ground, their hands supporting themselves on the ground, their bodies trembling.

Don't dare to look up.

"See Your Majesty!"

"May your Majesty be safe!"

He was just wearing simple plain clothes, but how could the officials in Jinzhou City not recognize Zhao Changlin's features?

With his hands behind his back, this was not the first time Zhao Changlin came to the Xia family's mansion. If we talk about the last time.

That was when I came to take Xia Zhiyuan away. The scale of the courtyard had changed greatly. There were fewer green bamboo branches and more vigorous pines and cypresses.

In the past, she was the eldest princess, but now, things are different.

Xia Yizi's heart was in turmoil. He pursed his cracked lips, not knowing how to start.

Song'er is guilty of treason, and it is only right that the entire Xia family should be implicated.

He was born in a poor family, and his family was not like the Gu clan, which had complicated connections and officials protecting each other.

Even if Your Majesty wants to eliminate the Gu clan, you have to consider the time and make some plans.

But - the Xia family has been able to remain safe and sound until now, Xia Yizi knows better than anyone that it is because of Yuan'er.

Looking up, Xia Yizhi's cloudy eyes showed that he hadn't seen Xia Zhiyuan's appearance for a long time.

Qiaoxiaoqianxi, beautiful eyes look forward to Xi.

Only the concubines in the harem can afford such exquisite clothes.

"My dear friends, please be free."

Zhao Changlin was not as majestic as she was in the court. She stood with her hands behind her back and walked forward.

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty!"

The Xia family members only then dared to stand up from the ground. They knew that the coming of the emperor was such an honor, but they never thought that they would witness such a good fortune.

"How do you like this yard?"

“Want to renovate it?”

Raising his hand, Zhao Changlin stroked the pine needles of the green pine and cypress trees. His fingertips felt soft and the pine needles were not that prickly.

Her eyes were smiling and full of tenderness.

You don't have to think about it to know who he is looking for.

This is obviously the house of his adoptive father, but His Highness is the one who makes the decision and starts to make his own plans.

It seems that he came back just to support himself.

Xia Zhiyuan smiled, clasped his cloak tightly with his fingers, and pressed it against the snow-white rabbit fur.

shook his head.

"No, this is fine."

"After all, it's someone else's thing. If Zhiyuan takes it, he's actually taking away someone else's love."

How could the Xia family members kneeling on the ground not hear clearly what Xia Zhiyuan said? She was saying... that they and the Xia family were not a family.

The Xia family is the Xia family, and she is herself.

"Really? If I say it's yours, then it's yours."

"I only left a way for these people to survive for your sake."

"Zhiyuan, you don't need to plead for them. Keep this huge yard for them."

Outline the corners of your lips.

His Highness really came here to scare the enemy. When others heard these words, it was as if the Emperor was furious.

"I see that this place is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with pavilions and towers, and has everything you need, but it is still a bit small."

"If... I give it to you."

"The palace outside the former Princess's Palace... that palace is pretty good."

"Now, that yard has been vacant for a long time."

"Zhiyuan is back in Jinzhou City. If you don't want to stay in the palace, you can go there to relax."

Everyone kneeling on the ground was shocked. His Majesty had long been dissatisfied with the Xia family, and they knew it. Fortunately, Yuan'er was useful.

Don't forget your roots.

"Why bother your majesty? Isn't this residence the same wherever it is?"

Xia Zhiyuan continued walking forward with a smile on his face. When he saw his father, he noticed that he had a few more white hairs on his temples than before.

"Father, please stand up. His Majesty has already told you not to kneel for too long."

"Father is not in good health, so there is no need to show off."

Although the words were polite, Xia Zhiyuan did not support Xia Yizi.

Xia Yizi sighed in his heart. He knew why Yuan'er was like this. She was just still angry with him and angry with him for being angry with her mother.

She is smarter than her brother... and she is no longer like before, crying all the time and being depressed all day long.

Yuan'er now seems like a different person. He knows how to keep a low profile, how to use the world as a platform, how to win people's hearts, and how to guess the emperor's intentions.

His knees gradually became sore, and Xia Yizi stood up in embarrassment, pressing on the brown table.

He bowed to Zhao Changlin again.

"Your Majesty, I am sorry for not coming to greet you. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

His complexion was not as good as before, but he still showed no fear when facing Zhao Changlin.

As early as when he heard the news of Song'er's death, he knew that he might not live long.

"Oh, my dear, tell me, what crime have you committed?"

Looking back at Xia Yizi, Zhao Changlin was still very respectful. She did not point it out directly. What she wanted was Xia Yizi to kowtow and admit his mistake in front of her.

"In the past, I, as a father, owed Yuan'er so much that she... had to stay in bed for a long time, and she couldn't do flower arranging and ball games like other girls..."

Xia Yizi said this to Xia Zhiyuan and also to Zhao Changlin.

"It doesn't matter."

"The past cannot be recalled, only today, I will agree to whatever Zhiyuan wants to do."

"I came here today to remind Lord Xia that since you already know your mistakes, then... don't follow in the footsteps of the Gu family again."

"My patience is not as good as you think."

Zhao Changlin sat down and looked at the unfinished game on the table. She picked up a chess piece with her fingertips.

It fell lightly, breaking the situation in an instant.

……

Out of the palace.

Nuo Hanyan walked to her own carriage, but didn't have time to lift the curtain.

Gong Siyu took the reins handed to her by the servant and jumped on the horse.

Her movements were swift and decisive, making it impossible to take your eyes off her.

"Let's ride together. Which carriage should we take?"

"Aren't you going home to see your father and ask General Sima to agree to your request?"

She grabbed the reins and spoke to Nuo Hanyan.

The voice sounded very familiar, and she knew who it was without having to think. Nuo Hanyan turned around and saw Gong Siyu looking at her with anticipation in her eyes.

It seemed that he was waiting for Nuo Hanyan to agree with him.

The carriage curtain in his hand was in a dilemma whether to put it down or to lift it up.

Nuo Hanyan turned around and put her hands on her hips.

I just feel that although Gong Siyu has a nice name, it doesn’t match her temperament at all.

"Okay, since it's Lord Gong who has invited me so kindly, there's no reason for me to refuse."

She stretched out her palm and reached out to Gong Siyu.

"In that case, Lord Gong, please accompany me to see my father."

"We can also discuss the trip to the North together."
