"No, mother, you weren't so reasonable back then. Then why did you just turn a blind eye when you got to A Bao's place?"

"I have experienced what you have been through, and I have looked away."

In the carriage, the voices of the two people talking became farther and farther away.

When Chi Wanyue saw her escaping carriage, a smile appeared on her face: "It seems that everything is ready and all we need is the east wind."

All that was left was the imperial edict of marriage.

Ning Huaizhao lowered his head and kissed her forehead: "It's not too late."

"By the way, Azhao, have you found any clues from that dead soldier?"

"Well, I found a totem."

"What totem?"

"Soaring snake."

"And the origin has been found, and it is related to Zhou Ren."

"Catch him first and ask questions later."

Ning Huaizhao nodded, reached out to pick up Chi Wanyue, and carried her into the carriage: "Go back to the palace first."

Chi Wanyue nodded and returned to the palace with Ning Huaizhao.

It wasn't until nightfall that I returned to the Hou Mansion.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw the lights were brightly lit and there were several large boxes. Mrs. Chi and the others were all in the yard.

"Dad, what is this?"

Chi Rui snorted, and there was not much joy in his tone: "The emperor rewarded me."

It’s not a new year, it’s not a festival, and it’s not a meritorious service, what’s the reward?

Suddenly, Chi Wanyue paused.

This time, the Hou Mansion was wronged, and the emperor only sent things to appease him, so that the Hou Mansion could continue to work for him.

After laughing, Chi Wanyue shrugged her shoulders: "Just keep it if you give it away. Whether you sell it or not is another matter."

Yawning, Chi Wanyue was about to return to her yard when she was stopped by Chi Rui.

"Abao, you go see your sister tomorrow. Your daughter's family has something to say."

"What's wrong with my sister?"

Chi Rui took a deep breath: "She went to plead with the emperor, but was blocked. She was anxious and sick."

Chi Wanyue's eyes were filled with a chill: "I understand, I will go see her tomorrow."

Chi Rui nodded, sighed, and turned towards his room. Seeing him like this, Chi Wanyue suddenly asked: "Dad, do you want to withdraw from the court?"

Chi Rui was silent for a long time and then said: "How easy is it?"

After finishing speaking, he walked towards his yard. Chi Wanyue stood there, her expression becoming more determined.

When he returned to his yard, he saw Chi Qingliu standing in the yard pacing back and forth.

Chi Wanyue walked over and caught her gaze. She didn't know whether it was because of shame or something else, but she felt a little evasive.

"What's wrong?"

Chi Qingliu hesitated before speaking: "I... I just want you to tell your grandmother whether you can give your mother another chance. She knows she was wrong."

Chi Wanyue didn't understand what he meant for a moment, and raised her eyebrows. Before she could ask, she heard Chi Qingliu explain hurriedly: "I know...my mother is quite annoying, and she keeps...making trouble for you."

It's troublesome, but don't worry, she won't be like this again. After this time, she already knows she was wrong..."

Chi Qingliu looked at Chi Wanyue nervously and spoke nervously.

"What's wrong with Second Aunt?"

Chi Qingliu paused and said, "Grandma said she asked dad to divorce her, and she would take a rest and go back to her parents' home tomorrow."

Chi Wanyue thought for a while and said, "I'll talk to my grandmother, but the second aunt's family is still a cat."

She heard Chi Wanyue's words without understanding what they meant.

"If I don't let my second aunt get really scared once, she won't change. When she really realizes that she was wrong, I can let my second uncle take her back."

Hearing this, Chi Qingliu showed a smile on his face and nodded hurriedly.

"Okay, let's go back."

Chi Wanyue waved her hand and heard Chi Qingliu say from behind: "I know I did something wrong, but it's because I envy you too much and I'm jealous of you."

Chi Wanyue stopped but did not turn around.

Chi Qingliu didn't dare to turn around, stood on the spot and continued: "You have been pampered and cared for since you were a child, but I am not, I have nothing. Slowly, this envy turned into jealousy.

It turned into hatred, especially when you don’t give me face every time and act like you’re trying to do me a favor and preach to me, I feel so ashamed.”

"I don't like hearing unpleasant words either."

As he spoke, Chi Qingliu wiped his tears and said in a choked voice: "Although I know you are doing it for my own good, but every time I hear your words, it seems that you are calling me stupid, and I feel uncomfortable.

That’s why I deliberately go against you.”

Chi Wanyue was a little shocked. She didn't expect that this was the reason between herself and Chi Qingliu, so she turned around and walked towards Chi Qingliu.

Seeing the tears on her face, Chi Wanyue sighed, stretched out her arms to hold her in her arms, and patted her back.

"I see."

Chi Qingliu was suddenly hugged by someone, and her tears couldn't stop falling. She reached out and hugged Chi Wanyue.

It had been too long since anyone had held her or comforted her.

…

Early the next morning, Chi Wanyue entered the palace. Chi Yan's body was not recovered yet, so she was lying on the bed, feeling a little weak.

When Chi Wanyue walked to the palace door, she saw a guard standing outside the door, and she felt something strange about him.

After seeing his face, I remembered that he was the guard who rescued her from the lake that day.

Seeing her coming, the guard quickly handed over his hand: "Little princess."

Chi Wanyue nodded and asked, "Have you ever saved me?"

The guard raised his eyes, pursed his lips, and then nodded.

A smile appeared on Chi Wanyue's face: "I didn't have time to say thank you that day, so I formally say thank you to you today."

"You're welcome, little princess."

Chi Wanyue nodded approvingly. She was neither arrogant nor impetuous, had a calm temperament, and was a person who did great things.

When looking at the guard, she accidentally saw the guard's sword, which looked familiar.

Chi Wanyue couldn't help but frown. At this time, Chi Yan's voice came from the hall.

"Abao."

Chi Wanyue didn't waste any more time and walked in.

"Sister, how is your health?"

Chi Wanyue walked towards Chi Yan and sat next to her. When she saw that she was drinking medicine, she took it and fed it in spoonful by spoonful.

Chi Yan covered her lips and coughed: "It's okay."

"Sister, we are fine now, you don't have to worry."

Chi Yan sighed, took Chi Wanyue's hand, was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "Abao, help me leave the palace."

Chi Yan raised her eyes and looked at Chi Wanyue. This time, her eyes were firm.

"After what happened this time, I feel that it is not worth it. The royal family has no sympathy at all. Besides, I, the queen, am just a decoration. I am not favored and cannot help the prince's mansion."

A self-deprecating smile appeared on Chi Yan's face. She felt that staying in the palace was of no use. In this case, she didn't want to wait in the palace any longer.
