She came to the palace because Xiao Huayong was worried that Munuha would take revenge on her. She didn't want to show off, so as not to make Xiao Huayong worry about exposing herself, so she followed Xiao Huayong's wishes and entered the palace. Now that she was sure that Munuha had escaped from the imperial city, there was no need for her to stay in the palace any longer. Five or six days was long enough.
"Yoyo, let me paint today." Xiao Huayong finally gave in.
He chose an apricot tree, sat under the tree, took out his flute and played. Listening to the melodious flute sound, Shen Xihe's mood for painting improved a lot. With a faint smile on his face, he wrote with inspiration.
His flute never stopped playing, and Shen Xihe's writing never stopped. Before he knew it, an hour had passed quietly. When Shen Xihe put down his pen, he was surprised to realize that it was almost time for dinner.
"Your Highness, are you satisfied with this?" Shen Xihe called Xiao Huayong.
Xiao Huayong held the jade flute behind his back. The first thing he looked at was not himself in the painting, but the blank space next to him. It was exactly the same as he had imagined. He nodded with satisfaction: "Yoyo, you painted me very beautifully."
Shen Xihe smiled and said nothing. This person just wanted to follow his words and praise his natural handsomeness.
After being led on by himself several times, Shen Xihe learned to respond with a smile. Xiao Huayong didn't care. He had many ways to deal with it. If this method didn't work, he would try another one next time.
Shen Xihe did leave the palace the next day because Xiao Huayong had recovered. This meant that he could see, but not colors. However, only Emperor Youning and Xu Qing knew about it, and Emperor Youning kept it a secret because he did not want to depose the crown prince now.
Whether he wanted to deal with southern Shu, northwest Shu, Tubo and Turks, he needed all his ministers and sons to work together and think about how to accumulate more merits for himself, rather than plotting how to monopolize the credit or frame others in an effort to win the throne.
As soon as Shen Xihe left the palace, Xiao Huayong began to deal with the government affairs that the crown prince should handle again. Fortunately, everyone knew that he was weak and no one counted on him at all. Even if he was away for a few days, nothing would be left unfinished.
Emperor Youning also allowed the diplomatic envoys to pass, and the matter of Princess Yangling came to a temporary end with the nationwide pursuit of Munuha.
"Your Majesty is quite tolerant towards the Turks." Bu Shulin listened and said with a sigh while chewing a pear beside Shen Xihe.
Shen Xihe looked at her careless appearance and said with some disdain: "Your Majesty just doesn't want to use military force against the Turks."
Originally, she had arranged this matter. As long as Munuha was interrogated, she could take the final step and force His Majesty and the Turks to fight. Shen Yueshan and Shen Yun'an were also fully prepared, just in time to catch the Turks off guard.
As long as they can defeat the Turks, Shen Yueshan and Shen Yun'an will have fewer worries and can focus on guarding against His Majesty.
Unfortunately, someone interfered and prevented things from going smoothly. In addition, Your Majesty did not want to destroy the Turks at this time. If it were the Tubo prince, Your Majesty would probably be very happy.
"Thank you very much." Bu Shulin pinched a half-eaten pear with one hand and clasped his fists to Shen Xihe in an inappropriate manner, "If it weren't for this, Your Majesty would have torn his face with Tubo."
Your Majesty is well prepared to break off relations with Tubo and then launch an attack on Tubo, but because of the recent unpleasantness with the Turks, if you use troops against Tubo now, the Turks will certainly think that Emperor Youning wants to unify the world, and the incident of Princess Yangling may be the reason for sending troops to them in the future. They will certainly try their best to cause chaos when the court attacks Tubo.
