Come on, Your Highness

As soon as Li Yuechan saw the eldest lady coming out, she immediately went up to meet her, and said anxiously: "Sister-in-law, you should think of a way, Xi Chao... Xi Chao was locked into the ancestral hall by the Duke!"

She hurriedly put on a dress, she looked a little thin, and her hair was loose, it could be seen that she came here in a panic as soon as she heard the news.

Nanny Lin quickly supported her, and persuaded: "Third Madam, please sit down and talk slowly, my wife doesn't know what to do with your nonsensical words!"

Li Yuechan sat down carefully with tears in her eyes, looking at the eldest lady with hope in her eyes.

The eldest lady also sat down and asked: "Yuechan, do you know why the Duke locked Xi Chao?"

Li Yuechan was puzzled when she heard the words, she shook her head: "I don't know, the servant girl woke me up, saying that Xi Chao angered the Duke and was locked up! I'm completely dazed, I'm too anxious... I, I wanted to go to the Duke of the State to intercede, but I don’t know where he is. Besides, I am very light-hearted, and the Duke of the Kingdom must not want to see me. After thinking about it, I can only come to you, sister-in-law... Sister-in-law, you Think of a way, I beg the Duke of the country, please let the net be lenient... Yuechan kneels down for you!"

As she spoke, she got up and bent her knees towards the eldest lady.

"Hey, Third Madam, don't kneel!" Nanny Lin hurriedly called the maid behind Li Yuechan to help her up.

Xia He and Chunxiang stepped forward quickly, supported Li Yuechan, and helped her to the chair.

Xia He persuaded: "Madam, calm down."

The eldest lady frowned, knowing that she couldn't tell Li Yuechan clearly, she looked at Xia He: "He Xiang took Xi Chao away from An Yunxuan, were you there at that time?"

Xia He nodded: "Yes, the servant is here."

"Tell me carefully."

Xia He said: "When the young master came back from the palace, he had a slap mark on his face, which was slapped by the Duke. As soon as the slaves applied the young master's face, He Xiang came and said that the Duke asked the young master to go to the ancestral hall Kneeling..."

Li Yuechan heard this, and immediately exclaimed: "Ah! The Duke also beat Xi Chao, is it serious?"

Xia He also blushed and said, "Half of my face is swollen, but the young master won't let Madam be disturbed."

Li Yuechan's tears fell down: "Why is this child so stupid! Does this make my heart feel bad?"

The eldest lady was afraid that she would not be able to stop when she opened the gate, so she hurriedly said, "Apart from that, didn't you say anything?"

Xia He said: "He Xiang said when the young master wanted to know when to come out, he even persuaded the young master to be soft and let the Duke calm down, but the young master didn't agree, so he just followed."

The meaning of these words is very clear, and this is what Da Furen is afraid of.

Although He Xichao is only 15 years old, he has never been an impulsive young man. His mental strength and thoughtfulness are unmatched by ordinary people.

If so, he was also slapped and punished to kneel in the ancestral hall. It can be seen that this incident really made Wei Guogong too angry.

In this situation, it is simply not enough for ordinary people to persuade them.

She sighed, not knowing what to do.

However, Li Yuechan couldn't help sobbing and said: "This child is too embarrassing. I can't talk about big things. Do I have to anger the Duke? The ancestral hall is cold, and there is no clothes or bedding. What if I get sick from the cold?" What should I do? His health is not good, I...my heart is going to be broken, woo..."

The eldest lady was already upset, and she was even more upset when she cried like this. She couldn't help scolding: "Okay, don't cry, can crying solve the problem?"

Li Yuechan's tears flowed down one by one: "But I can't help it..."

"You are his mother, there is nothing wrong with you going to see him." The eldest lady then looked at Xia He, "You pack your young master with thick clothes and bedding, and let the third lady send them over."

Li Yuechan asked hesitantly after hearing this: "Will they let me see Xi Chao?"

"You haven't been there before, how do you know you won't see it?" The eldest lady said angrily, "I just can't see it, at least send things in, the dignified Young Master Sun of Duke Wei's mansion, the celebrity in front of the King of England, who dares to stop , looking for death?"

As she said that, she gave Li Yuechan another look: "Wipe my tears, I'm already a wife, so show off your pomp."

With tears in her eyes, Li Yuechan nodded hastily: "Sister-in-law is right."

Li Yuechan whimpered and left. Seeing the lady with a headache, Nanny Lin couldn't help complaining, "Young Master Xichao, what kind of mother is this? You can't do anything but cry when something happens!"

The eldest lady shook her head: "He Xichao knew what she was like, and he didn't count on her at all. I was just worried that this matter would be difficult to deal with."

Nanny Lin looked at her puzzled: "Madam means..."

"Jiangzhou is so easy to calm down."

An Yunxuan was brightly lit, and the maids hurried up and down, tidying up a bedding mat and a set of thick clothes, and under worried eyes, Li Yuechan took a few maids to the ancestral hall.

The guard at the gate of the ancestral hall looked at the situation with a puzzled look on his face: "Third Madam, the second young master was punished to kneel by the order of the Duke of the country. This is still the ancestral hall, and you can't just let you in if you are young."

Li Yuechan was about to plead, when Xia He stepped forward and said, "You know it's my young master inside, he just annoyed the Duke for a while, so what's the matter! It's so cold, if it freezes, Can you afford it?"

"This..." The guard at the gate hesitated for a moment, then saw a purse thrown over, Xia He said: "Just for a while, be accommodating?"

The little servant thought about the owner inside, and didn't dare to refuse, so he took the purse and said: "Well, third lady, hurry up, don't make things difficult for the little one."

He opened the door, and Li Yuechan walked in quickly.

"Xi Chao..." When she saw the person sitting on the ground, her tears couldn't stop streaming down.

"Mom, you're here."

He Xichao didn't kneel obediently, but sat on a futon with his arms around his knees, raised his head slightly, and saw his mother hugging her up.

"Xia He said that you were beaten by the Duke, let your mother take a look." In the dim candlelight on the table, Li Yuechan held He Xichao's face, saw the red and swollen face, and couldn't help but feel distressed, "Why is it like this? Seriously, the Duke is too much!"

"Fortunately, it doesn't hurt." He Xichao looked away uncomfortably, not letting her continue touching.

The scalding liquid fell on the back of his hand, and the suppressed cry came out. He Xi sighed in his heart, raised his hand to caress Li Yuechan's back, and comforted him: "Don't cry, I'm really fine, I don't care about it here. Come on, mother, don't make me worry."

He said and looked at the maid next to him: "Since you brought the things, put them down, it's really cold here, I can't stand it."

"Ma'am, hurry up and put on the young master."

Xia He handed a thick cloak to Li Yuechan. When she came out, she also took a stove, which was warming, and handed it over together.

Wiping away tears, Li Yuechan stuffed the stove into He Xichao's hands, and unfolded the cloak for He Xichao to put on.

He Xichao smiled: "Ah, it's much hotter now."

Xia He and Chunxiang were calling the servant girls to spread thick mats on the floor and cover them with quilts, and when they were done, they asked: "Master, are you really staying here all night?"

He Xichao nodded: "En."

"That's how it works! Xi Chao, you go and give in to the Duke!" Li Yuechan immediately persuaded, "Admit your mistake, as long as the Duke calms down, you can go out."

He Xichao shook his head: "Mother, don't worry about this matter. When the things are delivered, go back to sleep."

Li Yuechan was in a hurry: "You are here, how could I possibly be able to sleep! Xi Chao, tell me a word of conscience, the Duke is already very kind to us, don't be so proud of your favor! You see, your mother is right now, are you My son, he is promoting your identity. Everyone in this mansion can tell that it will be yours in the future, why do you want to annoy the Duke at this time?"

"Ma'am!" Xia He couldn't help calling out.

He Xichao didn't speak, Li Yuechan ignored Xia He, and continued: "Xichao, think about what it was like when we first entered the mansion. That kind of cautiousness, walking on thin ice, you finally got the attention of the Duke, don't be self-willed, Is anything more important than pleasing the Duke of the country?"

In the dimness, He Xichao's hand holding the stove suddenly tightened, as if he was trying hard to absorb the warmth, he slowly raised his head, his eyes were heavy, and he said: "My son said, don't worry about it, go back, didn't you hear me?"

That tone was really cold, He Xichao had never said that to her before, Li Yuechan was a little frightened: "Xichao..."

"You don't understand anything, so don't meddle in it. Just remember that wherever your son is, there is a place for you." After He Xichao finished speaking, he ordered, "Xia He, Chunxiang, help Madam return."

"Yes." The two servant girls immediately took orders respectfully, helped Li Yuechan up and walked towards the door.

"Xi Chao... I..."

The door was slowly closed. Under the candlelight, He Xichao's expression was vague, but he didn't reply her a word.

Li Yuechan cried and told the matter to Da Furen, complaining: "That child is really screwed up, no matter how much I persuade you, she won't listen. Sister-in-law, now..."

The madam's guess was confirmed, and this matter is really difficult, so she said comfortingly: "Since Xi Chao told you to leave it alone, then you can go back, he always knows better than you."

"Sister-in-law..."

"Yuechan, sister-in-law is telling you something heartfelt. Before you know anything, you will make Xichao more passive and give you an opportunity to take advantage of it."

The eldest lady pointed in the direction of Hengwuyuan, and Li Yuechan immediately forgot to cry.

"Go, if you can't sleep, lie on the bed to rest your mind, everything will be discussed tomorrow."

Li Yuechan returned to An Yunxuan in a daze, worrying and sleepless all night.

And Wei Guogong also did not close his eyes until dawn.

The maid served him to change the court clothes. When He Xiang came in, he raised his eyelids and asked with his deep decree lines: "What's the matter?"

"It's still inside, do you want to go and have a look?"

Wei Guogong sank and didn't speak.

"Master Guo, it's not that you don't know that Young Master Xichao has a stubborn temper. Who can change the decision?"

When Wei Guogong heard this, he said angrily: "His decision has brought disaster to the He family! After all, he didn't regard himself as the He family at all, a little white-eyed wolf, the old man really has no eyes!"

He Xiang didn't dare to speak any more immediately, and just responded: "Yes, the Duke is right."

Wei Guogong hastily used the court food, but as soon as he went out, he saw Li Yuechan kneeling on the porch. When he saw him, he kowtowed and said, "Grandpa, Xi Chao has been locked up all night. The ancestral hall is gloomy and cold. , he is weak, how can he bear it... Grandpa, he knows he is wrong, please forgive him..."

Wei Guogong looked back at He Xiang, who shook his head, expressing his ignorance.

He frowned deeply: "He knew he was wrong?"

When Li Yuechan heard this, she felt slightly happy, and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, the Duke is his grandfather. He contradicted you, and all his mistakes are his fault. He is still young and ignorant, please ask The Grand Duke has a lot of people, so don't argue with him."

It was beyond what He Xichao could say.

Duke Wei sneered, but He Xiang said in a low voice, "Master Xichao, at least he has just been promoted to a bachelor's degree from the fifth-rank servant. Even if he doesn't have to go to court, he must go to the Imperial Academy to get a job. Auntie I can arrive today, there is still room for maneuver anyway, it is worse than being frozen like this, why don't you ask the third lady to persuade you?"

Wei Guogong naturally knew the seriousness, but he couldn't swallow this breath, so he just followed the trend and went down the steps.

He said coldly to Li Yuechan: "The old man kindly took your mother and son in, valued them everywhere, cultivated them in many ways, even Ming Rui who was raised by him since childhood is not as good as him. If you lose your respect because the King of England named you the prince, Get complacent, don't take the He family seriously, then get out of here as soon as possible, the old man doesn't have such descendants who would harm the interests of the family!"

Li Yuechan was so frightened that her whole body trembled, and under Wei Guogong's fixed gaze, she leaned over tremblingly with tears in her eyes and said, "Yes, I must tell him well, the kindness that the Duke of the country has treated our mother and son, we will remember it In my heart, don’t dare to forget.”

Duke Wei snorted coldly and walked away.

He Xiang turned his head and said to Li Yuechan who was still kneeling on the ground: "Third Madam, hurry up and get Young Master Xi Chao out! Sigh... persuade him well, don't look at the young master's glamor now, but if the Duke's Mansion doesn't recognize him Now, can he hold his head up before the King of England? Even your days are at an end."

"Thank you Uncle Xiang, I understand." Li Yuechan was supported by Chunxiang to stand up, she hadn't kneeled like this for a long time, and her knees couldn't bear it.

"Ma'am, are you okay?" Chunxiang asked worriedly.

Li Yuechan held Chunxiang's hand tightly, pursed her lips and said, "Go, take Xichao out."

The author has something to say: Yao: Li Yuechan...has a lot of debts, so come on, scold you how you want, haha.

Xi Chao: My mother is very unique.
