Chapter 113
When Yu Shuyue returned to the house, it was already the beginning of the day.
Qi Xiuyao wanted to go back to the house with her so that she could explain the reason why she came back like this, but Yu Shuyue was afraid that he would be driven back in the end.
She came home so late to fool around with him, even though they were doing business.
But that matter couldn't be put on the surface, and he hadn't even thought about how to explain her late return to his father and brother later.
"Ah Yue, why did you come back so late?"
Sure enough, Yu Shuyue had just entered the mansion, and she was confronted by Father Yu, who had a gloomy face and a quick look between her eyebrows, and Yu Hengyue, who strode in front of her with a calm face and checked whether she was injured.
"Ah Yue ......"
"Uncle, it was Xiu Yao who took Ah Yue to do a little errand, and he accidentally delayed it for a while, and sent Ah Yue back so late, is it Xiu Yao's, please uncle don't blame Ah Yue."
Just when Yu Shuyue was beating the drum in her heart and was about to move out the excuse she had just thought of, Qi Xiuyao's voice suddenly came far and near, and the next moment he was already being pushed by Hua An and stopped beside her in a wheelchair.
Yu Shuyue saw that he actually came in, still in a wheelchair, and there was a trace of doubt on her face.
Another reason she wouldn't let him in with her was because she didn't see his wheelchair.
He continued to disguise for so long after his leg was healed, she didn't want him to expose her business like this, although there was no one outside at night, but it was better to be careful about this kind of thing.
It's just that he didn't expect him to suddenly change into a wheelchair, so he entered the house in such a grand manner.
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
When the father and son of the Yu family saw him coming, they first saluted.
Qi Xiuyao had already greeted Father Yu before he set off, otherwise according to Father Yu's affectionate style of loving his daughter, he would have been unable to sit still and go to find his daughter in person.
He didn't expect it to be so long, he thought that his daughter had already separated from the prince, and she was late because she was playful.
"It's with the crown prince, then Weichen will be much more relieved, but next time I hope His Royal Highness will pay attention to the time, after all, Ah Yue is still a girl who has not left the cabinet."
"It's Xiu Yao, no, not next time."
Although Father Yu has always been very satisfied with his daughter's marriage to the prince, he let her get along with the prince's lonely men and widows all day before she leaves the cabinet.
What he thinks in his heart is so uncomfortable.
The same is true for Yu Hengyue on the side.
He can pestering Kongqing all day long, but the same situation is put on his sister, and his heart as a brother is sore and uncomfortable, and all kinds of unhappiness.
Even with him, Qi Xiuyao didn't have a good face now.
At this time, he and Qi Xiuyao are no longer monarchs and ministers, and they have no friendship, but this person will take his sister away from them in the future.
Thinking of this, he didn't want to see Qi Xiuyao anymore, and directly pursed his lips and pulled Ah Yue to his side, while asking her if she was injured and cold.
"Brother, I'm fine."
In fact, Yu Shuyue was very weak-hearted, if she hadn't slept in the carriage for several hours, she probably wouldn't have come back so late.
She can only watch Qi Xiuyao be misunderstood by her father and brother now, let him suffer this grievance, and she will repay him another day.
After all, if she told her about how many hours she slept in Qi Xiuyao's carriage now, maybe they would be in a worse situation now.
So I can only grieve him at this time.
Yu Shuyue glanced at him apologetically, the corners of Qi Xiuyao's mouth hooked slightly, and he continued to chat with Father Yu about some other things, and then apologized again and left.
This matter was revealed, and in the following time, as the weather became more and more freezing, Yu Shuyue rarely went out.
She spends most of her time lying on her round hairy neck, warming herself in front of a charcoal fire.
As for what Qi Xiuyao said last time in the cave stone room, she didn't take it to heart.
After all, Huai Rang is a high-ranking monk who has lived for hundreds of years and has profound mana, how can they find it if they want to?
And if she remembers correctly, in the first ten years before Kong Qing didn't appear, Gu Xiang spent a lot of time looking for a mage in order to cure his grandson's illness.
He has found nothing for more than ten years, which is enough to prove that if it weren't for Huai Rang's willingness to show up, no matter how they searched, they would have found nothing.
It wasn't until the cold winter passed and spring quietly came that she once again received the second holy decree in her life.
"Miss, what does the Holy Lord want you to do with the prince to Xunyang City, this Xunyang City is in the southwest region of Daqi, and it is famous for poisonous insects and beasts, how can you let you and the prince go."
Peony and Aster complained very dissatisfiedly while helping their young lady clean up her things.
The emperor really wanted to come out of one place, how to let Miss a weak woman go to such a wild place.
"Didn't you hear what the holy decree mentioned, one is to enhance my relationship with His Highness, and the other is to accompany His Highness to Xunyang to quell the rebellion."
Yu Shuyue gently pulled the corners of her mouth as she spoke, and there was a bright look in her eyes.
It is said that tiger poison does not eat children, but this sentence seems to be inappropriate in the emperor's house.
After all, in order to compete for imperial power since ancient times, it is not uncommon for emperors to kill their fathers and brothers and sons, which is not new.
It's just that Yu Shuyue didn't expect the emperor to let her go with her, it seems that this is to use her to warn her father.
Otherwise, how could there be any reason to send her and the prince to Xunyang at this time, and there were obviously more ways to solve Qi Xiuyao.
She only has less than half a year to get married, and it is time for her to marry the prince.
At this time, the emperor asked her to cultivate a relationship with the crown prince before marriage, which was said to allow the two of her to become an enviable couple.
But his true purpose is intriguing.
Father Yu is not a fool, of course, he knows that the emperor may attack the prince and his daughter on this trip, he thought about resisting the decree, and he also went to the emperor.
But the emperor was iron-hearted, except for the ugly face and the order to go down and prepare, for the time being, he could only have a fire in his heart, but he didn't show half of it.
The emperor's actions also completely exhausted Yu's father's loyalty to him.
It is no problem to accept his military power and let him retire from his idle post.
But if he kills all of his children, there will be little left of the way of the monarch and the minister in Yu's father's heart.
How did the emperor know that what he thought was killing two birds with one stone was just lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot.
Hunting geese all day long, he was finally pecked blind by geese.
