Chapter 69 The Queen's Demise 18
Xin Han also took a step forward, his voice full of emotion, and shouted at the villain: "Huai Xun, have you been well these years?"
Xiao Yan nodded slightly, his voice calm: "It's OK."
"Annan, I haven't seen you for many years. I just came to visit you and I have something to ask for. I am really ashamed to face you." Xin Han was accustomed to Xiao Yan's cold attitude. Thinking that the gifts were still in the Su Mansion, he felt embarrassed to come back empty-handed.
After Xin Han finished speaking, he moved his feet, revealing Hua Xia behind him, and said to Hua Xia: "Yue'er, have you ever seen the Prime Minister in the palace? He was a close friend of your uncle."
"I am your elder, so I deserve to call you Uncle Xiao."
"......" Xiao Yan coughed violently twice.
Hua Xia was speechless at first, but now she found it amusing. She walked forward with a panicked look, walked to Xiao Yan, picked up the teacup on the table and poured a glass of water into it.
He brought the cup of water to Xiao Yan, who was choking and coughing: "Uncle Xiao, what's wrong with you? You're choking, come and drink some water."
Xiao Yan: “…”
He finally took the water and took a sip.
Xin Han didn't notice anything wrong at all, and even thought that Hua Xia really wanted to restore her position as queen, so she hurriedly showed her courtesy to the prime minister.
"Huai Xun." Xin Han walked to the seat next to Xiao Yan and sat down, saying earnestly, "You also know that I am your only niece, and it was the Queen Mother's decree that she was married off to Yuandu. Besides, Yue'er is dignified and virtuous, and she didn't commit any major mistakes, but she was stripped of her title and banished to the cold palace."
"After all, it was her grandfather who passed away and my Xin family fell into decline..."
Xiao Yan raised his eyes to look at the girl who was still acting weird, but he couldn't see any trace of being dignified and virtuous in her.
"Brother Huaixun?"
Xiao Yan retracted his gaze and asked calmly, "Zhong Qing, what do you want to say?"
Zhongqing is my uncle's courtesy name, and the two of them seem to be real friends.
Xin Han said sternly: "Huai Xun, can you please speak up for Yue Er in front of His Majesty, not only to restore her to the position of Queen, but at least to not let her live in the cold palace.
Hua Xia looked over. She wanted to know how Xiao Yan would react this time.
Xiao Yan looked a little lonely. After a long while, he spoke hoarsely, "Is it you who meant it, or her?"
The uncle was startled, and followed his friend's gaze to see Hua Xia sitting on the chair opposite, who was propping up her head and looking at the two of them.
Xiao Yan didn't want Xin Han's answer, he just couldn't help but ask.
So, without waiting for anyone to answer, he took the lead and said, "Zhongqing, the situation in Yuandu will change soon, so it is better for your niece to stay in the cold palace for now."
This sentence was like a bolt of thunder that fell into Xin Han's heart. He had a strange look on his face. He first understood the murderous intent hidden in the words. As rumored by the outside world, the prime minister's intention to rebel was obvious.
His mind was in a mess, and he suddenly asked something off topic: "How do you know Yue'er lives in Jing'an Palace?"
Then he came to his senses and said to himself, "Yes, there may be nothing in the palace that you don't know."
She dared not mention the matter of restoring the throne to the queen again. It would be safer for Yue'er to stay in the cold palace.
It was getting dark, and the Xin family's small house had not been taken care of at all. Xin Han had been living there makeshiftly these past few days, but now he didn't know how to settle Hua Xia.
The palace gate was already locked. The uncle asked Hua Xia how she got out. Hua Xia answered truthfully. Xin Han thought of the high city walls and fell silent.
He thought Hua Xia had sneaked out today and started chattering again.
Receiving the look asking for help, Xiao Yan curled his lips slightly, kept the two of them, and said that he would personally send Hua Xia back to the palace quietly tomorrow. Only then did Xin Han calm down.
"eleven."
Eleven was called in, and Xiao Yan said, "Take them to the North Hall first, and then go to the main hall for dinner."
Hua Xia: “…” It’s the North Palace again.
Eleven also paused slightly, glanced at the adult's expression, and hurriedly followed the order.
The three of them were walking on the way to the North Hall. My uncle seemed to have been here before and was familiar with the route. When he passed by the Qinghe Garden Pond, he stopped and asked, "I remember when I came here a few years ago, the golden carp in this pond were very pleasing to the eye. How come there is not a single carp left now?"
Eleven touched his belly and said, "Maybe it's because it's getting cold, so he's hibernating."
Xin Han: It’s only October…

The world's heroine, Su Yanli, who was several steps late, finally arrived and just caught up with the three of them having dinner.
Hua Xia couldn't help smiling at the girl who was dressed in gorgeous clothes. She stood up and made room for her to sit next to her uncle.
Su Yanli sat down with great reserve and said to her uncle, "It's the first time we meet. Hello, my name is Su Yanli, and you?"
Xin Han's face turned slightly red, and the sequelae of muteness kicked in again: "Hello, hello, we just met, we have met before."
"At the gate of the Su Mansion, at the entrance."
Su Yanli widened her eyes in disbelief, looked at the man in blue, and then looked at Hua Xia.
Hua Xia didn't expect that her uncle could recognize the heroine's dark face, so why was she blushing?
She quickly distanced herself from the matter: "I didn't say that."
Xin Han saw the strange atmosphere and explained, "Divine Doctor, Miss Su, I don't have any other intentions."
What does "boring" mean? This is really interesting. Su Yanli's face flushed, and the belated embarrassment and shyness dyed her pink.
Hua Xia saw the magnetic field between the two people: "Idiot, these two can succeed!"
System: [Host, are you breaking up the relationship? ]
Hua Xia denied it, saying that she was just looking for a wife for her old bachelor uncle.
After the meal, Su Yanli examined the villain's pulse with a heavy face, took out a long needle, burned it red, and inserted it into his thin back.
Hua Xia didn't see it. She was driven out, and it was Xiao Yan who drove her out.
He said, "It's ugly, don't look at it."
Hua Xia squatted at the door, scratching the soil with a stick, listening to the idiot crying in her mind.
After a long time, the door opened from the inside and Xin Han walked out with a heavy face. When he saw Hua Xia, he asked, "Yuer? What are you doing squatting on the ground? You look less and less like a lady from a noble family."
Hua Xia didn't say anything. After pursing her lips for a long time, she turned to look at her uncle and asked, "Uncle, do you know what's going on with Prime Minister Xiao?"
Why was he still thinking about rebellion when he was poisoned at such a young age and living in agony?
In fact, there is nothing that cannot be said, because Xin Han doesn’t know much.
The uncle then squatted beside Hua Xia, looking up into the endless darkness, his thoughts drifting away and his voice becoming dissipated.
"More than a decade ago, my father took me to Yuandu to give lectures when I was young. My uncle was Xiao Yan, whom I met at the school."
"Although Xiao Yan was only a half-grown child at that time, he studied with the royal descendants who were much older than him in the academy, and he was not inferior to them at all."
"At such a young age, he has already shown his talent. With his father being the Prime Minister, it is no exaggeration to say that he is a child of destiny."
"He is proficient in both civil and military strategies."
"However, something unexpected happened that year."
"After a palace banquet, Xiao Yan and his father suddenly fell ill in bed. They announced to the public that they had contracted a serious illness and would not attend court in the morning. Xiao Yan also stopped showing up at the school."
"It's said to be a serious illness. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the father and son were poisoned by an incurable poison. However, this poison was given by the Heavenly Family, so no one dared to comment."
"The prime minister's mansion searched for famous doctors but to no avail. Not long after, the prime minister died, but the young Xiao Yan somehow survived."
"But he was plagued by illness and died soon. Soon, the prime minister's wife was too sad and depressed to follow her husband. Since then, Xiao Yan has changed completely. It seems that he has no emotions and is extremely cold and distant."
"Now it seems that Xiao Yan is finally going to rebel, to avenge his father, his mother, and himself."
