Empress Xia Liang paused and continued: "The only way now is for you to go to Northern Chu to move the rescue troops. ”

Xia Yunxi looked at Empress Xia Liang in a daze; "Queen Mother, you let me go to Beichu to move the rescue soldiers?"

Xia Liang and Northern Chu have no direct interest relationship, and no matter who Emperor Xia Liang is, he has no influence on Northern Chu.

Asking for help from Northern Chu is really no way, except for asking Northern Chu for help, Empress Xia Liang can't think of any other good way.

Xia Yunxi hesitated a little and said: "Queen Mother, Northern Chu may not necessarily send troops to help us. ”

Empress Xia Liang's tone was calm, and she said without waves; "It's a gamble, if you lose...... I'm afraid your father and I ......."

Before Empress Xia Liang's words were finished, Xia Yunxi raised her voice and said; "No, Queen Mother, you and your father will be fine, and my brother, our family will be fine, I won't let that happen, Queen Mother, don't worry, I'll go to Beichu, I will definitely let Beichu send troops."

Empress Xia Liang lowered her eyes slightly; "Xi'er, you have to pay attention to safety, if Beichu is unwilling to send troops, you don't come back."

Xia Yunxi's body stiffened, and his nose was a little sore; "Queen Mother, what are you talking about, if you and your father are gone, how can I survive my life, this is my home."

With that, tears poured out of his eyes uncontrollably.

She obviously didn't want to cry in front of the queen mother, so that the queen mother could see her so unproductive side.

Empress Xia Liang hurriedly took her into her arms and comforted; "Xi'er, you have to listen to the queen mother's words, if Beichu doesn't send troops, don't come back."

She only wants her daughter to live, and she can do without any glory and wealth.

Xia Yunxi cried for a while in Empress Xia Liang's arms, and Empress Xia Liang gently patted her back in a soft voice; "Xi'er, you go back quickly, in case someone finds out that you are not in your palace, it will not be good, you should know the secret way out of the palace, and you will go out of the palace through the secret passage after dark."

Empress Xia Liang took out a token; "This is a customs clearance token, as long as you have this token, you can get out of the customs unimpeded."

Xia Yunxi wiped his tears and took the clearance token with trembling hands.

"Queen Mother's ......"

Empress Xia Liang waved her hand and forcibly endured her heartache to let Xia Yunxi leave.

Xia Yunxi looked at Empress Xia Liang reluctantly.

Maybe this will be the last time they will see each other.

As soon as he thought of this, tears slipped uncontrollably from Xia Yunxi's eyes again.

"Queen Mother, you have to protect yourself and wait for your daughter to come back."

Xia Yunxi forcibly endured himself not to look at Empress Xia Liang, and raised his feet and walked towards the entrance of the secret passage.

In just a dozen steps, Xia Yunxi walked for a minute.

The door to the secret passage slowly closed, tears rolling down her cheeks.

"The Emperor...... Queen......"

The palace maid who was serving Empress Xia Liang saw her crying and spoke out worriedly.

Empress Xia Liang sniffed, her voice a little hoarse; "Hongu is fine."

As night fell, Xia Yunxi entered the secret passage.

The secret passage is very long and dark, Xia Yunxi is a little scared, she bites her lip tightly, Xia Yunxi knows that from today onwards, she will have to face many, many things alone.

I don't know how long I walked, but the exit of the secret passage was a dry well.

Coming out of the dry well, she bought a horse and traveled day and night.

It was already a few days later when the pursuers came after her, and she was almost in Guangling City at that time.

I thought that when I arrived in Beichu, I would get rid of those pursuers, but I didn't expect them to chase after them.

She was chased and killed along the way, she suffered a lot of injuries, plus she slept in the open along the way, and finally she collapsed on the side of the road due to exhaustion.

The moment she fell, tears slipped from her eyes, and she was very unwilling.

After listening to Xia Yunxi's narration, the room fell silent, and after a long time, Su Wan slowly spoke.

"You live here with peace of mind, it's safe here."

"I want to see the Emperor of Northern Chu, the Ninth Emperor Princess, and now the only person who can help me is you."

Xia Yunxi grabbed Su Wan's arm and pleaded.

Su Wan couldn't bear it in her heart, and said busily; "Don't worry, this matter is on me, it's just ......" Su Wan paused; Whether the emperor will see you or not, I can't guarantee it. ”

Xia Yunxi was very grateful in his heart; "Thank you."

Except for thanking him, Xia Yunxi didn't know what to say.

On the second day, Chu Mohan entered the palace to see Emperor Northern Chu.

Su Wan was afraid that he wouldn't be able to say it clearly, so she asked Nameless to follow.

Su Wan paced back and forth anxiously, but Xia Yunxi was very calm.

"I'm dizzy from your shaking."

Su Wan saw that she was not in a hurry at all: "Why aren't you in a hurry at all?" ”

Xia Yunxi picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said unhurriedly: "It's useless to be in a hurry." ”

Su Wan glanced at her, it's really that the emperor is not in a hurry, why is she in such a hurry.

Su Wan sat down on the stool.

Chu Mohan and Nameless soon returned from the palace.

Before the two entered the room, Su Wan hurriedly asked, "What did the emperor say?" ”

Xia Yunxi looked at the two expectantly.

Nameless glanced at Xia Yunxi, and said respectfully to Su Wan: "The emperor said that the New Year will be celebrated in half a month, and the emperor will take time to see Princess Xia Liang after the New Year." ”

How could Su Wan not hear what Emperor Beichu meant, she looked at Xia Yunxi with some reluctance.

Xia Yunxi's expression did not change at all: "I expected it a long time ago. ”

The queen mother asked her to come to Beichu to move the rescue soldiers, and she expected such a result.

Su Wan was afraid that she would be sad, so she hurriedly comforted: "After the New Year, I will ask the Nine Emperor Princes to mention this matter to the emperor again." ”

Xia Yunxi knew that Su Wan was worried about her.

She nodded: "I won't give up, it's almost the New Year, presumably King Ning won't be stupid enough to do it at this time." ”

Seeing that she was thinking, Su Wan was relieved.

Xia Yunxi knows that the most important thing now is to take care of his body as soon as possible, and then make plans.

Xia Yunxi's body recovered very well, and his originally pale face had a trace of blood.

Occasionally Su Wan would see her, sitting in front of the window in a daze,

Su Wan thought that she must be thinking about her family again.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Su Wan proposed that everyone make dumplings together.

So Xing'er was responsible for rolling the dumpling skin, she, Chu Mohan, and Xia Yunxi were responsible for making dumplings.

All three were making dumplings for the first time.

Xing'er picked up a piece of dumpling wrapper and demonstrated it to the three of them.

Xing'er puts the dumpling wrapper on the palm of her hand, puts the filling in the middle of the dumpling wrapper, and then pinches the dumpling wrapper.

The three of them looked at the dumplings in Xing'er's hands and praised them, and Xing'er was very proud.

The three of them learned from Xing'er, but the dumplings they made were a little miserable.

Xing'er smiled and said, "As long as it doesn't break when it's cooked, the shape is not that important." ”

After a busy afternoon, the dumplings were finally wrapped.

Apricot takes the dumplings to cook.

After a while, the hot dumplings were served to Zhuo.

Although the appearance is not very good, the taste is very good.

After eating dumplings, it was dark, and Chu Mohan shouted to set off fireworks.

The fireworks have long been prepared.

The three of them came to the garden.

The fireworks were lined up and the nameless fireworks were lit.

Looking at the fireworks blooming in Ziyanhong, Su Wan turned her head to look at Xia Yunxi.

Xia Yunxi had a long-lost smile on his face.

It's been a very lively year.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, early in the morning, Su Wan and Chu Mohan entered the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor and queen.

The palace is full of lights, and the atmosphere of the New Year is very full.

The atmosphere of the New Year lasted until the fifteenth day of the first month, and after the fifteenth day of the first month, the atmosphere of the New Year faded.

During the Chinese New Year, because she ate too well, Su Wan gained weight.

Su Wan pinched her cheeks and asked Xing'er behind her, "Xing'er, have I gained weight?" ”

Xing'er smiled and said, "The slave thinks it's better for the princess to be fatter, the princess, you used to be too thin." ”

Su Wan put down the mirror in her hand and turned her head to look at Xia Yunxi.

was about to speak, and found Xia Yunxi in a daze.

She shouted at her several times before Xia Yunxi came back to her senses.

Su Wan asked, "What are you thinking?" Thinking so intrigued? ”

"I'm thinking about how to make Emperor Northern Chu willing to see me."

"Actually......" Su Wan paused and continued; In fact, it is not difficult to let the emperor see you. ”

"Really? Do you have a way to get the Northern Chu Emperor to see me? ”

Su Wan nodded; "It's just that if you want the emperor to see you, you have to come up with the conditions that the emperor is willing to see you."

Xia Yunxi pursed his lips tightly, and only after a long time did he slowly speak: "Now I have nothing, how can I come up with the conditions that make the Emperor of Northern Chu willing to see me." ”

The flame of hope that had been ignited was gradually extinguished.

Has the current Xia Liang fallen into the hands of King Ning?

She was very worried about her father, queen mother, and brother.

"You don't have nothing, you're still Princess Xia Liang."

Before King Ning ascended the throne, Xia Yunxi was still the princess of Xia Liangguo.

"That'...... So what should I do? ”

The corners of Su Wan's mouth hooked up a light smile, and she hooked her fingers at Xia Yunxi.

Xia Yunxi put his ear to Su Wan's mouth.

What the two said, only the two of them know.

Xia Yunxi looked at Su Wan; "Is this possible?"

Su Wan patted her chest and reassured; "I can assure you that there will be no problem."

Xia Yunxi pursed her lips and nodded; "Just do as you say."

Su Wan looked at Xia Yunxi and said very seriously; "You've got to think about it."

The corners of Xia Yunxi's mouth hooked up a wry smile; "If my father and mother are gone, I will have nothing, and these are nothing."

"Good!"

"Nine Emperor Princesses, I'm ......" Xia Yunxi suddenly spoke.

After a moment's hesitation, she continued; "Can you thank your brother for me, thank him for saving me."

Su Wan said with a smile; "Of course you can, you have a good rest these days, the emperor will summon you in a few days, you have to keep your spirits up, you can't go to see the emperor like now."

Xia Yunxi nodded.

In order to make Xia Yunxi's complexion better, Su Wan instructed Xing'er to make some soup for Xia Yunxi's body.

A few days later, news came from the palace that Emperor Northern Chu summoned Xia Yunxi.

Su Wan was very happy for Xia Yunxi.

"This is your only chance, you have to behave."

Xia Yunxi's sleeves tightened and loosened.

Su Wan was right, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and she had to take advantage of it.

"Xing'er, bring your clothes."

Su Wan specially made a new dress for Xia Yunxi.
