The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis
Chapter 393: Old Friend Collects the Corpse
Seeing her distraught look, Xie Lin walked up to her and held her hand.
"Besides Wang Shan, the two who have performed very well in the army will also be accompanying my father-in-law. Ding Yi and Qin Sheng were selected by my fourth brother himself, so there won't be any problems. Lord Wen will be there to meet them."
Chu Heyi nodded, perhaps she was too worried.
Perhaps it was because she sprained her ankle and missed her father's time to go to the war that she felt uncomfortable.
She and Xie Lin went back to the palace.
Running into the Queen head-on, Xie Lin wanted to take Chu Heyi directly back to the East Palace and didn't want to bother with the Queen. However, the Queen seemed not to notice and took the initiative to walk up to them.
"Has General Chu set out yet?" The Queen asked herself and answered, "The incident in Yizhou City is of great importance. It is right for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to send General Chu to suppress it."
Xie Lin just listened to her and didn't respond.
Chu Heyi looked at Xie Lin's outline which was somewhat similar to that of the Queen, and chose to remain silent.
The Queen continued, "To outsiders, it may seem like two wineries are competing for the Yizhou City wine market, but in reality, it's Prince Cheng and his wife declaring war. The Crown Prince must suppress this incident, otherwise Prince Cheng and his wife will only become more arrogant."
Chu Heyi and Xie Lin looked at each other, slightly surprised, but after a little thought, they felt that it was reasonable.
The queen was smart, so it was not difficult for her to see the purpose behind the arrogance of the Deep Alley Winery.
What was strange was that she, who was already an enemy of Xie Lin, actually came to tell Xie Lin this...
And she didn't care at all about Xie Lin's cold face towards her.
This strange feeling was just like when she killed Huan'er in front of Xie Lin not long ago.
After remaining silent, Xie Lin suddenly sneered, "General Chu has already set off. Isn't it too late for the Queen to talk about this now?"
The Queen's expression froze a little, but she did not argue, she just said: "The Crown Prince is smart, just treat me as an afterthought."
Then she said, "Madame An has made some delicious cakes. Prince and Princess, would you like to come to my palace to eat some?"
Who would have thought that the queen who had repeatedly wanted to kill Xie Lin in the past would now invite Xie Lin to her palace to eat cakes, and faced with Xie Lin's cold face, she didn't even have any temper at all.
Power can indeed change other people's attitude towards you to the greatest extent.
Xie Lin had a very creepy smile on his face. He said, "No need. The Crown Princess sprained her foot and has to rest in bed. I want to stay with her."
Ignoring the Queen's expectant eyes, he called the guards around him and carried Chu Heyi past the Queen.
Not long after they returned to the East Palace, Li Chaoyun and Nanny An brought over some cakes, which were exactly the delicious cakes that the Queen had mentioned earlier.
Li Chaoyun said, "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess like this cake, please have a taste. If not, you can give it to the servants as a reward."
In other words, the Queen doesn't mind how Xie Lin handles the pastry, even if he doesn't eat it, and she portrays the image of a loving and tolerant mother.
Xie Lin glanced at Li Chaoyun and Nanny An with a cold gaze, and said calmly, "What else did your queen say?"
This time Li Chaoyun did not say anything, but Nanny An answered: "The Queen said that sending the cakes over is a token of her mother's love for the Crown Prince and Crown Princess. She hopes that the Crown Prince and Crown Princess can accept it, but if you are unwilling to accept it, she can understand. She just wants to make up for the years of debt a mother owes to her children."
Xie Lin stared at the plate of pastries, but thought of how the old lady of the Xie family had been brewing poison for him day after day for more than ten years.
At that time, what the old lady of the Xie family wanted to do was to express her love for her children as a mother by making the medicine herself, right?
Who could have thought that such a hard-working mother was actually boiling poison?
"Chengying, take these pastries out and feed the dogs." Xie Lin said in a cold voice, and he never looked at Nanny An and Li Chaoyun again.
The two were somewhat disappointed, but they said nothing, nor did they stay for long, and they bowed and left.
Chu Heyi rested his elbows on the table and held his chin up, watching the two of them leave. "The people around the queen are really like the queen, advancing and retreating in moderation, making it hard for people to see any clues."
Xie Lin smiled: "What do you think the Queen is planning so hard for?"
Chu Heyi didn't say anything, but just dipped his finger in the tea and wrote a name on the table.
Xie Lin's smile deepened, but his eyes became much colder, "My Crown Princess, you are amazing. I think exactly the same as you do."
"Of course." Chu Heyi looked proud. She was brought up by Xie Lin. When she left Shengjing City in her previous life, she was just a simple-minded country girl.
Xie Lin found it funny to see her face full of praise, so he leaned over and kissed her on the face, praising her several times. Chu Heyi was satisfied.
Her ankle was sprained very badly. Chu Heyi herself had not even thought about it, thinking that she had just missed a step when going down the stairs. It took her half a month to get injured to this extent before she could walk freely.
Gan Sui also said that it only took her half a month to be able to walk freely again, thanks to her youth and quick recovery.
Just a few days after Chu Heyi's legs and feet recovered, Xu Tiansheng was beheaded. Before the execution, he made known to everyone what Chu Heyi had done in the Xu family in the past.
Chu Heyi was on a high building next to the execution ground. After hearing his words, Xu Tiansheng's words made all the people at the scene boil.
Many people in Shengjing City knew that she was not adopted into the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion until she was fifteen years old, so everyone believed that what Xu Tiansheng said was highly credible.
The crowd was talking about Chu Heyi, and it was no exaggeration to say that the noise was deafening. But when Xu Tiansheng's head fell to the ground, the noise around them faded away like the tide, and everything suddenly became quiet.
The crowd gradually dispersed, and Chu Heyi saw a woman coming against the flow of the crowded crowd, kneeling in front of the execution ground, collecting Xu Tiansheng's body.
Chu Heyi saw her face clearly, Miss Xu Shulan from the Xu family.
Five years ago, Xu Shulan was slim but well-proportioned. But now, Xu Shulan is very thin, as if there is only a layer of flesh on her bones, which is scary.
It can be seen that Xu Tiansheng did not lie. Xu Shulan has not had an easy life in the past five years.
Chu Heyi asked people to come forward and help Xu Shulan collect the body of her elder brother, while she herself walked directly to Xu Shulan.
Xu Shulan's eyes moved from her shoes up until she saw Chu Heyi's face clearly. Her body trembled violently, and then she knelt on the ground and saluted: "Greetings to the Crown Princess."
Her eye sockets were sunken, her eyes were hollow, and her body was thin, which gave Chu Heyi a great shock. Chu Heyi suddenly remembered that five years ago, she was rescued by Xu Shulan and brought back to the Xu family.
At that time, she was the one who saluted Xu Shulan, and her posture was not standard. "Greetings, Miss. Thank you for saving my life."
When Xu Shulan learned that she was homeless and had nowhere to go, she kept her in the Xu family and asked her to serve Xu Shulan.
Xu Shulan didn't laugh often, and as time went by, she found that Xu Shulan often cried alone at night. Sometimes when Xu Shulan woke up, her pillow was wet.
But everyone in the Xu family treated Xu Shulan very well. She was a pampered young lady who had no worries about food and clothing and was served by maids and old women. Chu Heyi didn't understand why she was always so sad.
Later she found out...
