"The omission in your and His Majesty's lies is that the Queen and you are not strangers." Xie Xuan studied her husband's face, "The Queen must have guessed His Majesty's reaction."

Yu Xiuyun's eyelids were twitching wildly. He thought carefully about his wife's words and said harshly: "Even if Wanwan finds out, I would still blame His Majesty if I want to blame you. How can you blame me?"

"You can't say for sure. The Queen may not know how she will react when she sees His Majesty's head full of white hair." Xie Xuan said slowly, "But now you are serving as a servant of the minister, and you have also added food, and you have been promoted and made a fortune."

Yu Xiuyun frowned and thought for a while, "There is another person in Chang'an City who may take this purse."

"Who?" Xie Xuan was stunned for a moment, and when she saw his eyes fixed on her face, she immediately laughed angrily.

"I would like to tell her the truth." Yu Xiuyun looked serious, "I kept hiding it, not because of His Majesty's orders, but because I also agree with His Majesty's wishes."

"What does your Majesty mean?" Xie Xuan was a little confused.

"She doesn't want to go back to the palace yet or see His Majesty. She is happiest outside the palace."

"According to what you said, if the Queen is unwilling, Your Majesty will not force her to return to the palace?"

"Probably not." Yu Xiuyun was silent for a moment, "She was in poor health before leaving the palace."

"Can you repeat what His Majesty meant? Just what you just said."

Marquis Pingyang felt a little strange. After complying with her request, he saw the woman in front of him was thoughtful.

"I don't believe it." Xie Xuan sneered, "I don't believe you and His Majesty's judgment at all now. I want to go and see for myself."

She finally got up and prepared to have a meal, "In a few days, hundreds of officials will go to Shanglin Garden with the emperor, but I won't go."

Xie Xuan was granted the title of Lord of Gao'an Township and Madam of Pingyang Marquis, so she should go to Qiuyu for both emotional and logical reasons.

"Who wants to be exposed to the sun on such a hot day? I'm going to accompany the queen."

"What are you doing there?" Yu Xiuyun's eyes widened.

"This is Wei's first autumn hunt. I don't know how long it will last. You can't go see her, so someone will naturally take care of her." Xie Xuan interrupted him, "You don't want to say that you have to sneak out of Shanglinyuan. "

"Yu Xiuyun, how many enemies do you have, can you count them all? They are all gathered in Shanglin Garden. When the time comes, more than one pair of eyes will be watching you. Don't let the city gate catch fire and bring disaster to Chiyu." Xie Xuan frowned, "No matter how noble her status is, No matter how many guards there are, they can't stop those people who have great achievements. If they jump over the wall in a hurry, they may want to perish together."

"If you have to take a gamble, you might as well ask His Majesty. His Majesty has surrounded the house with iron barrels. He knows best how capable the guards are. Let's see if he is willing to let you gamble."

Yu Xiuyun choked, His Majesty really wanted to take action against those noble families during the autumn hunting.

Those families really hated the Pingyang Marquis Mansion to their core.

He didn't ask Xie Xuan how she knew this, he just calculated it, and he didn't know where she learned her ability to not even recognize the hexagrams.

Yu Xiuyun was silent for a moment and sighed: "That's fine, you can leave the capital before the autumn hunting."

*

On the day she left Chang'an, Xie Xuan smiled so brightly that Yu Xiuyun suspected that she had been deceived by a few words again.

Yu Tingwan knew she was coming two days in advance and stood by the courtyard gate waiting.

"It's so sunny at noon, why did you come out?" Xie Xuan quickly stepped forward to hold her arm, looked at her for a moment and said, "You look good."

After sitting down, Xie Xuan's eyes were like hooks, unable to be removed from the woman in front of her.

"The more plump your empress is, the more beautiful she will be."

Her sister-in-law likes to praise her appearance, and Yu Tingwan is used to it, "I've already left the palace, just call me Wanwan like my brother."

"Okay, I heard that your pulse has stabilized a lot. Can the female doctor tell if it's a boy or a girl?"

Seeing her sister-in-law's curiosity, Yu Tingwan glanced down, then raised the corners of her mouth slightly, shook her head and said, "I didn't ask the female doctor."

She was wearing a rouge-colored gauze dress, her black hair was rolled up casually, her expression was softer than water, and she murmured in a low voice: "I think everything is fine."

Xie Xuan smiled. The queen's appearance was already charming, but now she looked even more muscular and weak-boned, with a smooth and shiny skin.

She coughed lightly and said, "I guess it's a girl."

"My mother said she turned a little white when she was pregnant with me." Xie Xuan said seriously, "People say she has become more beautiful, so she must be pregnant with a girl."

Yu Tingwan was silent for a moment. How could she remember that Mrs. Xie had said in a casual conversation that when she was pregnant with Xie Xuan, she was sent to Yanzhou with her husband. It was midsummer and she felt uncomfortable in the sun along the way.

She just thought her sister-in-law and made nonsense to make her happy, and followed the words: "If this is true, Wan Wang looks more like me."

Pei Zhi's eyebrows and eyebrows are so sharp that they are particularly noticeable on the woman's face. You don't even have to ask, you can tell who the phoenix eyes look like at a glance.

Xie Xuan immediately understood what she meant, looked around the room and saw no one else, coughed lightly and said, "There's no need to worry. After the child is born, he will be sent back to Qingzhou for a year, and then he will be taken back to the Hou Mansion to raise him. People will be suspicious.”

Her voice was clear and clear without deliberately lowering it, and drifted along the wide open window into the courtyard.

Chiying, who was lying bored on the tree, suddenly opened his eyes. What happened to Pingyang Hou and his wife?

"What's so good about being raised in Chang'an? It's better to live in seclusion in Yizhou like my aunt." Yu Tingwan looked at her sister-in-law, "As for studying and practicing calligraphy, I am the best female teacher."

The corner of Xie Xuan's mouth twitched. The Queen seemed to have no intention of letting the child return to the palace. No wonder Yu Xiuyun insisted that her sister did not want to see His Majesty.

She didn't believe it, and was so agitated by this sentence that she said, "Wanwan doesn't want this child to return to the palace?"

Xie Xuan's expression was subtle, "Your Majesty must be ecstatic."

"Ecstatic?" Yu Tingwan's voice was soft, "My brother told me that the cold jade coffin was brought into the palace by Xie Taichang. He was able to take me out of the palace with Xie Taichang's help."

"Sister-in-law, you forgot? My brother and Mrs. Xie often committed the crime of deceiving the king. How can I let my child return to the palace?"

Xie Xuan finally understood why her husband was so worried every time he came back.

After asking to see His Majesty, I became even more worried.

She remembered Yu Xiuyun's numerous warnings to be careful when talking to Wanwan and not to sell herself out easily.

"I forgot about this." Xie Xuan took a sip of tea to moisten her throat.

Yu Tingwan laughed out loud and said with crooked eyebrows: "Sister-in-law, how could I forget? I really don't know how to thank you for your great help. I heard that Xie Taichang was looking for Jia Kui's "Exegesis of the Chunqiu Zuo Family" and "The Interpretation of the Mandarin Language" "Execution".

"It's true that my father used thousands of acres of fertile land in Chen County in exchange for a copy of "Mandarin Exegesis", but unfortunately there are only ten chapters left."

"I have the whole book here, so I can give it as a small gift." Yu Tingwan asked the maid to bring the book that was bound yesterday, "I read it at the Prince of Wei's Mansion. There are fifty-one chapters in total. I have been silent. They are all here. ."

Xie Xuan's throat tightened, and she felt that she deserved it. His Majesty insisted that the Queen was not dead. During her father's time, he was afraid that His Majesty would think that he wanted to hold a funeral ceremony for the Queen, and wished that the wat board would be lowered when he went to court.

"This gift is too heavy. In fact, my father... didn't do much."

Xie Taichang liked his son-in-law to be very talented, cautious and exquisite. Of course, his favorite was the newly rich man Pingyang Marquis in the court.

Yu Xiuyun asked him to do other things, and he would agree to it, but this kind of head-turning thing was absolutely impossible.

"Riding your own life to help is a great kindness. Sister-in-law, please accept it." Yu Tingwan saw Xie Xuan take the manuscript and said casually: "You came here today, and my brother didn't accompany you. It's too shameful."
