The peach blossoms are fragrant, bright as the morning glow, and as numerous as the stars; when the cool breeze blows, the red jades flutter and sway, dazzling.
None of them can be as captivating as his smile at this moment.
Perhaps it was Shen Xihe's words "as you wish" that deeply pleased Xiao Huayong. He was as happy as a child. He leaned on her shoulder and even rubbed her gently, but without any extra words.
In the past, Shen Xihe didn't quite understand why Xiao Huayong always indulged her and was happier than herself. Now she realized that perhaps making someone she cared about happy would make her lips curl up uncontrollably.
"How are you going to get me to go to the northwest next month?" Shen Xihe felt that this was not an easy matter to accomplish, and it would be difficult to get past His Majesty.
This time Xiao Huayong answered honestly: "My father-in-law will leave Beijing in two days. I have discussed with him that I will find someone to pretend to be a Turk and attack him, so that he will disappear. With my people to help, I guarantee that no one will be able to find him."
Shen Yueshan's disappearance after being ambushed by the Turks is by no means a trivial matter. The imperial court will certainly send people to search for him. If the search is fruitless for a long time, it may affect the situation in the northwest.
"When my father-in-law has been missing for ten days or half a month, and the court can't find him, you can have a few dreams. Father and daughter are connected by heart, so you can ask His Majesty to allow you to go find your father-in-law." Xiao Huayong smiled slightly, "I have discussed with my father-in-law in advance and asked him to write a letter to my brother. The Northwest has made preparations early. This is a good opportunity to test the people that my brother and father-in-law suspect...
If Your Majesty takes advantage of the opportunity again, I'm afraid we will have an unexpected harvest."
Since Shen Yueshan and Shen Yun'an had already made this plan, they must have made proper arrangements in the northwest. The attackers were Turks. Even if Shen Yueshan's deliberate disappearance was exposed, they could use the excuse that they suspected that there were Turks lurking in the northwest army, and even His Majesty would be helpless.
This plan was well-planned and not only could Shen Xihe achieve what he wanted, but if someone acted rashly at this time, they could also have unexpected gains. Shen Xihe exclaimed, "Your Highness has a brilliant plan. I am convinced."
"My dear Yoyo, don't belittle yourself. You just have never thought about going back to the Northwest, otherwise how could you not think of a way?" They are all the same kind of people. Once they are determined to do something, they can always think of a perfect way to achieve their goal and get out of it safely.
He always praised her, and sometimes Shen Xihe herself suspected that he was just a lover who saw beauty in her. She didn't want to argue with him about this, as she was definitely no match for him, so she said, "Even if your majesty lets me go, he won't let you go with me."
Xiao Huayong is the crown prince, and his relationship is of great importance. With Prince Jiachen on the run, Emperor Youning has countless reasons to detain him. Although His Majesty's suspicion of him has diminished, he may not have completely let it go, and it is even more impossible for him to let Xiao Huayong out of his sight.
"I want to leave this palace, who can stop me?" Xiao Huayong smiled lightly.
"Don't use a substitute anymore." Shen Xihe felt that Emperor Youning had probably been suspicious of this for a long time. If Xiao Huayong really fainted on the bed again this time and found a substitute to replace him, Emperor Youning would try every means to expose it.
"No replacement." Xiao Huayong smiled and pursed his lips. "I could have asked His Majesty a few more times. If His Majesty refused, I would have left a letter and fled openly, saying that I missed my wife. Wouldn't His Majesty be happy with a willful crown prince who only cared about his children?"
