Shen Xihe was absolutely free during the day, because Xiao Huayong could not do anything naughty during the day. Except that he would not drink the medicine unless she fed him, there was nothing that would make Shen Xihe unhappy.
But it only happened twice a day, so Shen Xihe just endured it. He thought that since he was angry last night, he would definitely not cooperate today, but for some reason, his mood improved again.
As if sensing Shen Xihe's emotions, Xiao Huayong finished drinking the medicine and, while no one was around, opened his eyes, looked at Shen Xihe, and said silently with his lips: How can a husband and wife hold grudges overnight
Shen Xihe pressed hard on the hand that was holding the handkerchief to wipe the corner of his lips, causing Xiao Huayong to grimace in pain, not daring to make the slightest sound.
Shen Xihe then smiled to himself, then stood up and left.
She only needed to watch over Xiao Huayong every day, and she didn't even inquire about other things. Emperor Youning was trying his best to hunt down Xiao Juesong, wanting to test Xiao Juesong's strength, and he was also doing it under the pretext of finding an antidote for Xiao Huayong. Therefore, no one thought it was inappropriate to mobilize so many troops, because Xiao Huayong was lying there, and no one dared to persuade him.
Unfortunately, Xiao Juesong disappeared out of thin air as if he had mastered the art of earth escape. Emperor Youning searched for half a month but could not find any clues. He became more and more wary of Xiao Juesong's power. No one knew what kind of power a man who had disappeared for twenty years had accumulated secretly.
After chasing for half a month, Emperor Youning knew that it would be fruitless to continue in this way, so he simply gave up. However, Xiao Huayong's poison had not been cured, so naturally someone was needed to continue the pursuit in the open.
However, Emperor Youning did not order the return to the palace, and still returned to the palace according to the originally scheduled date of September. The palace seemed to have returned to peace, but in fact everyone became cautious and no longer free and easy as before. Even the noble ladies became well-behaved and stayed in their own courtyards to appreciate flowers, embroider, make tea and paint when they had nothing to do.
Even though they were gathered in the same courtyard, they didn't dare to make loud noises like they did at the beginning. The invisible oppression shrouded the palace, making it a little breathless.
"Why doesn't your majesty return to the palace?"
That night, it was still early, and Shen Xihe and Xiao Huayong were chatting in low voices.
Logically speaking, something like this happened, the palace was assassinated, and so many corpses were dragged into the palace for everyone to see. He saw how cautious the people in the palace were, and he didn't think it was bad luck at all.
"Your Majesty is a man of deep thoughts. How can I guess what's in your mind?" Xiao Huayong said in a high-sounding manner.
Shen Xihe almost rolled her eyes at him. These words might be used to fool people who had never seen his true face, but not only her, but even Xiao Changqing and Xiao Changgeng did not believe it: "Your Highness, do you believe it yourself?"
Xiao Huayong tried to fool Shen Xihe with a silly smile, and Shen Xihe just looked at him quietly. He was defeated in the end: "The Queen Mother doesn't want to return to the palace because I haven't recovered yet."
The Queen Mother was unwilling to return to the palace, and her reason was that Xiao Huayong should not be moved. That was because neither the Queen Mother nor the Crown Prince would be in the palace, and there was nothing particularly urgent that required them to return to the imperial capital. Could Emperor Youning abandon Xiao Huayong and the Queen Mother and return to the palace with a large group of troops
Obviously not. Rumors have already begun to spread that the prince is not his son. If Xiao Huayong is really thrown here at this time, the rumor will be difficult to stop.
