On the way into the palace, Princess Hua'an was restless all the time, her brows were tightly frowned, and her eyes were filled with unconcealable worry.

Xia Yifei noticed her strangeness and couldn't help but said.

"Mother, are you in any trouble? No matter what, you can tell me, and I will definitely help you."

Princess Hua'an was unwilling to involve her son in this vortex.

She forced a smile, pretending to be relaxed and said: "It's okay, it has nothing to do with you."

Xia Yifei said seriously: "How can it have nothing to do with me? You are my mother, your affairs are my affairs."

Princess Hua'an looked at her son with a look of relief involuntarily in her eyes.

Her right hand hidden in the wide sleeve shrank back, and her fingertips touched a cold and hard dagger.

This dagger was hidden in her sleeve just now while she was changing clothes.

Princess Hua'an smiled and said softly.

"You have grown up, even if I am not by your side in the future, you should be able to take care of yourself."

Xia Yifei frowned: "Don't say such things, you are still so young."

Princess Hua'an's eyes were slightly red.

"I thought I was still young, and I thought I could protect you well.

But now it seems that I overestimated myself.

I am not young anymore, I cannot always protect you under my wings, sooner or later you will have to face the ups and downs of life by yourself. "

The more Xia Yifei listened, the more disturbed he felt.

"Mother, what happened? Why do you say such things?"

Princess Hua'an shook her head: "It's nothing, don't think too much about it, I just felt it suddenly."

After that, no matter how Xia Yifei questioned, Princess Hua'an refused to speak any more.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the palace.

Princess Hua'an Chang's mother and son changed into sedan chairs and drove to Dongnuan Pavilion.

Luo Qinghan was reviewing the memorial, and when she heard that Princess Hua'an had come with her son, she didn't show the slightest surprise on her face.

As if he had expected such a result.

He put the vermilion pen on the white jade pen mountain, and said softly.

"Xuan."

Soon Princess Hua'an and Xia Yifei walked in.

The two bowed upright to the emperor.

Luo Qinghan called in a flat tone: "Aunt."

He had called Princess Hua'an's aunt many times before, but he had never embarrassed her as much as now.

The aunt's voice sounded like a slap in the face to her ears.

Make her feel hot on the face.

The blood on Princess Hua'an's face quickly faded, turning as white as paper.

With pleading eyes, she asked eagerly, "Your Majesty, can I have a few words with you alone?"

Luo Qinghan nodded slightly and agreed.

Xia Yifei didn't understand why they deliberately pushed him away? Is there anything he can't hear?

Princess Hua'an comforted him with her eyes, and said in a low voice.

"You go out for a while."

Although Xia Yifei was full of doubts, he didn't dare to say anything in front of the emperor, so he could only retreat silently.

The door closed behind him.

He stood in the porch, next to the guards standing quietly.

After a while, Eunuch Chang also came out from inside.

He smiled and said to Xia Yifei.

"It's very cold outside, Mr. Xia, do you want to sit in the next room for a while?"

Xia Yifei shook his head.

He glanced at the closed door and couldn't help asking in a low voice.

"Eunuch Chang, did my mother annoy the emperor in some way?"

Eunuch Chang asked without answering, "Why do you ask such a question?"

Xia Yifei: "I can't tell you the details, anyway, I just think my mother is very afraid of the emperor."

That feeling of fear is mixed with guilt, fear, and anxiety.

Eunuch Chang reassured: "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Inside the house, the earth dragon was burning very vigorously, and the temperature was much higher than outside.

Princess Hua'an didn't feel warm at all, but felt cold all over.

she asked tremblingly.

"Has Your Majesty already known?"

Luo Qinghan asked coldly: "What are you referring to? Are you colluding with outsiders to plot against me?"

These words directly extinguished the last bit of luck in Princess Hua'an's heart.

She smiled miserably: "You really know."

When things got to this point, she knew that she had no room for sophistry. After her tense nerves were broken, she unexpectedly relaxed.

"The head of the Tianmen sect did contact me, and he hoped that I would be the internal response of the Tianmen to be placed by His Majesty's side.

I originally said no.

But they threatened me with the lives of Yuran and her son.

As a mother, I cannot stand by and watch my own daughter being brutally murdered by them.

Sorry, I can only choose to compromise. "

Although there is only one word difference between the two identities of mother and aunt, in real comparison, they are very different.

Between the two, she chose to sacrifice the latter and achieve the former without hesitation.

It cannot be said that she did something wrong, it can only be said that this is human nature.

For most people, nephews are far less important than biological children.

After listening to her, Luo Qinghan was not touched at all, and the expression on his face was always cold.

"Although I can understand your choice, I can't empathize with you. After all, I have never felt the great maternal love you speak of."

Princess Hua'an opened her mouth, as if she wanted to comfort him.

But was directly interrupted by Luo Qinghan.

"Don't show that look, I don't need your pity."

Princess Hua'an laughed at herself: "That's right, now I'm the one who's killing people for fish and meat, and I can't protect myself, so how can I have the right to show mercy to others?"

Luo Qinghan: "You sent Xia Yifei away on purpose just to tell me this?"

Princess Hua'an: "Yifei doesn't know anything, he is innocent, I don't want to involve him.

If His Majesty doesn't believe it, you can send someone to investigate.

Some time ago, Yifei lived in his grandfather's house, so it is impossible for him to know about my secret dealings with Tianmen. "

Luo Qinghan asked coldly: "So what?"

Princess Hua'an: "I know you may not believe what I say.

I came to the palace to ask to see you this time, in order to make a deal with you.

To be honest, the head of Tianmen Gate gave me two tasks in total.

The first task is to help Yu Jiu take the imperial concubine out of Shengjing.

The second task is to kill His Majesty.

As long as I can complete these two tasks, the master of Tianmen will release Yuran and her son.

I have completed the first task, now as long as I can complete the second task, the master of Tianmen can let my daughter and grandson go.

Now I need you to cooperate with me in a play to lure the master of Tianmen to take the bait.

At that time, I will find a way to kill the master of Tianmen.

In exchange, I hope you will hold your hand high and keep my family out of the way. "
