Chapter 140
“Initiate an expedition to investigate the crime”
The two were quickly taken to a palace.
"This is Zhongcui Palace. It used to be the residence of a good concubine, but she committed a crime a few years ago and was sent to the cold palace by His Majesty. Now no one else lives there, so it is just right to share it with you."
The meaning of this is to let them stay safe and not covet things that do not belong to them, lest they end up like the previous master.
The emperor did not have many concubines in his harem. Especially after the queen entered the palace, the emperor never admitted any more concubines into the palace. This was still the case even after the queen died in childbirth.
Therefore, the total number of concubines in the entire harem was only about twenty, and most of them had never even seen the emperor.
Just like Wang Jieyu, if it hadn't been a coincidence that time, she would have ended up alone in the harem for the rest of her life.
Although the past ten years have been difficult, she is still grateful because at least she still has a daughter by her side.
As for the emperor's favor, that was never something she should covet.
"Thank you very much, Eunuch Bai. I would also like to ask my father-in-law to thank Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess again for me. If it weren't for her, we, mother and daughter, would probably have to live there for the rest of our lives."
Wang Jieyu was blessed and was very happy when she looked at the newly built palace in front of her.
She is naturally happy to be able to take her daughter to live in a better place.
Bai Lai was very satisfied with her attitude. Only a person who knows how to be grateful deserves the kindness of the eldest princess.
If he lost his sense of gratitude and hurt His Highness's heart, he would certainly not allow it.
Thinking about it, the smile on his lips rose, "Jieyu, please don't worry, the Za family will definitely convey this to His Highness."
"In this case, the Za family will not disturb Jieyu and Princess Shu'an, and will leave first."
After he finished speaking, he took two steps back, turned around and left.
Your Highness should be at His Majesty's place by now, and he has to go back to wait on you as soon as possible.
"Father-in-law, walk slowly."
Until Bai Lai's figure disappeared around the corner, the mother and daughter looked at each other and couldn't help but smile after a disaster.
"An'er, please remember that from now on, Her Royal Highness the Princess will be the benefactor of our mother and daughter. No matter what she asks you to do in the future, you must not disobey it. This way you can live a better life in the future."
Being able to rely on her was something they never dared to imagine, but now it's a coincidence.
In Wang Jieyu's view, Xia Hanyu's willingness to say such things to Xia Shu'an must have agreed with her.
Xia Shu'an nodded, looking well-behaved, "Don't worry, Mom, my daughter knows."
On the other side, Xia Hanyu walked straight into the imperial study room without being informed, and other palace residents were also used to it.
"Father, are you following me today?"
As soon as she walked in the door, she was "asking for justice" and her little face was wrinkled.
The emperor looked up and saw her, and couldn't help but smile.
"How can that be considered stalking? My father is just worried that you will be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives."
Although the harem is relatively peaceful now, it is not without bad intentions. He has to go and see it in person to feel at ease.
"To put it bluntly, my father doesn't trust me."
Xia Hanyu hummed, wrinkled her nose, turned around, walked aside and sat down.
"How can that be possible? If my father doesn't trust Yu'er, then who else can he trust in this world?"
This is not an exaggeration. If there is anyone in this world that Emperor Ang can trust without hesitation, Xia Hanyu is probably the only one.
The emperor didn't even trust Xia Chengyun that much, even though he was also his own flesh and blood.
As for Xia Ji, a big reason why the emperor valued Xia Ji and trusted Xia Ji was actually because of Xia Hanyu.
So ultimately I still believe her.
"That being the case, why didn't your father tell me about having such a sister before?"
This is what Xia Hanyu wants to know.
