The truth that the emperor knew now was almost the same as that of the hidden guards who stayed with Xiao Zimu. He also guessed that the matter in Gu Wan had something to do with Xue Xiuguo.
Therefore, knowing that Xiao Zimu still had a hidden guard by Xue Xiuguo's side, the emperor was quite reassured about his work.
Since he wanted to spend more time investigating alone, he would allow it.
Xiao Zimu saw the emperor nodding and thanked him immediately. The emperor told Xia Chu who was beside him that tomorrow he will receive his sweetheart, De Kong, and bring him to the palace to let him see what kind of immortal he is, even better than my ninth princess. No.
Xia Chu Qiao smiled and agreed, and then Xiao Zimu chatted with the emperor for a while. Seeing that the moon had already reached the end of the willow trees, Xia Chu found an excuse to stand up and leave.
Xiao Zimu followed and bowed, and the two of them retreated together.
"Shall I send you off?" They both said in unison and looked at each other with a smile.
"I'll see you off. I have to go to Yongxin Palace later." Xia Chu spoke up before Xiao Zimu.
"I'm going to find my second brother and leave the palace together." Xiao Zimu was such a discerning person. When he heard that he was going to Concubine Qi, he knew it in his heart.
"Well, Du Hanfei needs his help in some matters." Xia Chu chatted with him while walking towards Yongning Hall.
"You and second brother..." Xiao Zimu hesitated.
"Zi Mu, he is he and you are you. What I told you has never changed and it will never change in the future." Xia Chu was afraid that he was worried that Xiao Mubai would also participate in the fight for the heir.
Therefore, I affirmed and solemnly expressed my position to him again.
Xiao Zimu smiled when he heard this, stretched out his right hand and pressed it lightly on his forehead, and said rather self-deprecatingly: "I think too much, can I also call you with my second brother in the future?" Ah Chu?"
Xia Chu held his right hand that he had gently taken away, put it in his palm and patted it to express comfort before letting go, smiling at him and saying, "Of course it's okay, as long as His Highness is happy."
Xiao Zimu managed a smile and walked forward.
He knew that he didn't think too much, but wanted more.
For example, he wants to be his unique Highness...
Xiao Zimu looked at the young man walking side by side with him. Now he no longer wears a blue robe, just as he is no longer the only special person to him.
But since when did I become so greedy
"What are you thinking about?" Xia Chu asked when he saw that he had been frowning slightly.
Xiao Zimu was naturally embarrassed to speak. He felt sad that he now had another Xiao Mubai, so he had to change the subject: "I was wondering what kind of temperament your Qingmei had to be so enamored with Ah Chu."
"There will always be a chance to see you." Xia Chu blurted out. When he saw Xiao Zimu's absent-minded "hmm", his eyes lit up and he said to Xiao Zimu: "Zimu, do you want to leave the palace tomorrow? Come and stay at the newly opened inn in Mingxiangyuan for a few days. I will also take her to check in tomorrow. Can you also meet me?"
Xia Chu felt that Meng An and Zi Mu were a good match, so he might as well take this opportunity to introduce them.
"I'm afraid my father will not agree." Xiao Zimu was quite moved, but the emperor probably would not allow the prince to live in an inn, not to mention that he had just experienced two sniper attacks.
Now, the emperor is afraid that he will not be happy even more.
After hearing his concerns, Xia Chu said to him with an easy-to-handle expression: "It doesn't matter, I just need to tell the emperor that for the convenience of private investigation, I am staying here for a few days, not to mention that tomorrow, His Highness King Mo, Xu Wenlan, And my cousin will stay there, so that the emperor can feel at ease."
After hearing this, Xiao Zimu felt that this was a good statement, so he nodded in agreement.
However, by the time they were able to talk, the two of them had already reached the door of Yongning Palace. Xiao Zimu stopped and said warmly to Xia Chu: "I'm here, let Xin Ya take you to Yongxin Palace."
"No need, I know the way." Xia Chu waved goodbye to him.
Until his figure disappeared into the night for a long time, Xiao Zimu still stopped and maintained the same posture as when he said goodbye, silently looking in the direction of Yongxin Palace.
Standing behind him, Xin Ya finally couldn't help but ask for instructions: "Your Highness, would you like me to follow you and have a look?"
"No need." Xiao Zimu said lightly, then turned around and entered the hall.
Seeing his desolate figure, Xin Ya sighed in the direction of Yongxin Palace, turned around and followed quickly.
Xia Chu didn't know that Xiao Zimu still stood in front of the palace for a long time after he left. Instead, he walked briskly all the way to Yongxin Palace.
Han Sa had been waiting in front of the palace gate for a long time, and when he saw him coming, he greeted him with a smile on his face.
"I won't go in. You go ask him." Xia Chu ordered Han Sa.
Concubine Qi has never met him in this life, so naturally she will not be as affectionate as in the previous life. If he goes in, Xiao Mubai will have to introduce her again, and the two of them will have to exchange polite greetings.
He was still rushing out of the palace to visit Yixiang Tower, so he simply asked Han Sa to call Xiao Mubai.
Han Sa naturally nodded and said "OK" and trotted all the way to the palace to communicate. After a while, Xiao Mubai came out and asked him, "Why don't you go in to see my mother-in-law? "
"It's too late tonight. I'm afraid it will disturb my wife's rest. Come visit me another day during the day." Xia Chu saw him coming out and immediately walked out.
Xiao Mubai followed and scolded: "Excuse."
"No, if I accidentally meet Mu Hong..." Xia Chu said this and looked at him with a rather embarrassed expression.
Xiao Mubai's face, which was already feigning anger, became even more awe-inspiring at this moment: "You see, you have brought trouble to us, brother and sister."
"Is it my fault?" Xia Chu stopped and looked at him with raised eyebrows.
Xiao Mubai also stopped, with a cold face that couldn't hold back anymore. He smiled at him and said, "It's my fault that we, brother and sister, have such good judgment."
"That's right." Xia Chu nodded with satisfaction and continued walking forward.
Xiao Mubai suddenly caught up with her, whispered in her ear, "She is also your mother-in-law, and you will see her sooner or later."
Xia Chu stiffened when he heard this, and a strange feeling arose in his heart.
In his previous life, he had a very good relationship with Concubine Qi. He would go there to pay her respects every day, accompany her to enjoy flowers and cook tea for her. Concubine Qi also treated him very well, teaching him etiquette and tying his hair.
Although he loves mother and daughter, he never expected that Concubine Qi in this life would really become his mother-in-law.
Xia Chu felt a little sad for a while, and felt a little dazed when walking.
Xiao Mubai thought he was shy at first, but then he saw that he was distracted, so he asked: "What's wrong?"
Xia Chu came to his senses and suddenly smiled at him, as bright as the stars.
"You also know that I haven't had a mother since I was a child, so your idea sounds like a good idea."
