Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Chapter 442 Wait for me to come back! (Updated)
Xiao Chengxuan didn't sleep all night.

Ever since he was escorted to the Chengxin Lake residence, he has been in a daze.

He couldn't eat and was in a daze.

In just two days, he looked haggard, thinner, and with an untidy beard, completely different from his former handsome appearance.

Tuk Tuk.

There was a knock on the door.

The servant spoke cautiously.

"Your Highness...can you please eat a little? Your body won't be able to bear it if you keep going like this!"

Xiao Chengxuan didn't move.

Chengxin Lake is a royal villa. Although it is smaller than his previous mansion, its specifications are still very high compared to ordinary people's homes.

At least, there is someone serving you.

But this was still a huge blow to Xiao Chengxuan.

In one night, he lost everything!
How could he accept this?

The door was not locked. The servant hesitated for a long time before finally pushing the door open and walking in.

——We’ve been told by our superiors to take good care of him.

Although Xiao Chengxuan was nominally demoted to a commoner, his majesty's blood flows in his body after all. Who dares to really treat him as an ordinary person?

"Your Highness."

The servant put the food down and closed the door tightly before speaking in a low voice.

"Today we have the roasted deer tendons that you like. Would you like to have some?"

Xiao Chengxuan finally moved.

Because this dish was not his favorite, but the favorite of Concubine Ru.

This means...

He slowly raised his stiff neck and his eyes fixed on the visitor's face for a moment.

——This is a stranger, different from the person who came to deliver food the day before.

The man winked and said in a lower voice: "Your Highness, the Imperial Concubine and the Prime Minister are trying to find a solution for you. You can't fall down first."

Xiao Chengxuan's frozen eyes finally showed a ripple.

——This is my mother’s man!
Under strict guard, Concubine Ru used many means and finally got someone in!
Xiao Chengxuan had originally lost all hope, but now hope was rekindled.

Mother did not give up on him!
He opened his mouth to speak, but his voice was extremely hoarse.

"I……"

As soon as he opened his mouth, even he was shocked.

The servant quickly poured a cup of tea and handed it over.

After Xiao Chengxuan used it, his dry throat finally felt better.

When he spoke again, his voice was still a little hoarse. He had to lower his voice to the lowest level and asked anxiously:
"How is mother now?"

"Don't worry."

The servant knew what he wanted to ask, and hurriedly told him everything that had happened in the past two days.

"The Imperial Concubine is now chanting sutras and praying for blessings in Yaohua Palace every day. I'm afraid I won't be able to see you in the short term."

Xiao Chengxuan was stunned for a moment, but he quickly understood.

The situation is tense now, and their every move is being watched. Even if my mother is anxious, she can't act rashly.

He was silent for a long time before he said:

"I caused her trouble..."

"Don't say that."

The person who was carefully selected and sent here was naturally a smart and eloquent person. Seeing Xiao Chengxuan like this, he immediately spoke words of comfort.

"Don't worry, Princess Yuhe accompanies the queen every day!"

Xiao Chengxuan felt relieved.

"That's fine, that's fine..."

In the past, he had never taken this humble and unfavored sister seriously, but now it seemed that she was a rare and reliable person.

When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. After he got into trouble, everyone was eager to cut off ties with him.

Unexpectedly, the one who worked the hardest was the most inconspicuous Xiao Lanxi.

"The case is still under investigation. The Prime Minister and the Queen are trying to figure out a way to handle it. Please wait here with peace of mind. Princess Yuhe asked me to pass on a message to you."

As he spoke, he carefully closed his mouth, dipped his finger in the tea, and wrote four words on the table. ——The dragon is hidden in the abyss.

Xiao Chengxuan's heart was shocked.

My originally groggy mind suddenly became clearer!

Not bad.

As long as he is not dead, there is still a chance to start over!

Xiao Chengxuan took a deep breath, stared at the man, and asked the question that was on his mind:
"Tell mother that I'm fine. But I just want to know: who interrogated Xu Jie?!"

If Xu Jie hadn't revealed everything and betrayed him completely, how could he have ended up like this?
Originally, he firmly believed that Xu Jie would never give him up, but he didn't expect that Xu Jie would not only tell him, but also tell him everything clearly! He almost told him all the details!

He just wanted to know who made Xu Jie say those words!
"This... I don't know either."

The servant looked embarrassed.

Xu Jie's case was jointly investigated by three judicial departments. There were so many people involved. Who knows who got those questions out of Xu Jie's mouth?
"Xu Fengchi doesn't have that ability."

Xiao Chengxuan gritted his teeth, resentment emerging in his eyes.

He knew Xu Fengchi well, and knew that it would be impossible for him to pry open Xu Jie's mouth by himself.

Who helped him?

Others might not care, but Xiao Chengxuan had a feeling that there was something fishy going on.

The feeling of being out of control and unknown made him very uneasy.

It seems like there is an invisible hand making all this happen.

And he was in the middle of it, but he didn't even know who had brought him to this point.

The servant didn't understand, but still responded: "Then... I'll go check it out later?"

Xiao Chengxuan pressed his eyebrows.

Apart from this matter, what he cares about most now is actually——

"How is King Lie doing?"

Xiao Chengxuan knew very well that whether he could make a comeback depended to a large extent on Xiao Chengqi.

If Xiao Chengqi's arm is broken, then he still has a chance!

But if Xiao Chengqi gets the antidote...

Between a prince who made a mistake and was demoted to a commoner, and a prince who is in good health and has made great military achievements, even a fool would know which one the emperor's father would choose!

"I heard that the Imperial Guards had brought back the antidote from Guanling the day before yesterday. The Imperial Hospital had written a prescription, and His Royal Highness Prince Lie is still recuperating in the palace. As for the details... outsiders don't know."

Xiao Chengqi was anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

"I see. Report any news immediately."

He picked up the chopsticks and started eating, his eyes gradually becoming colder.

Nothing to worry about.

If the fourth brother’s legs can be disabled, then why can’t the third brother?

……

It was a rare sunny day.

Ye Yunfeng stood in front of the door and said goodbye to Ye Chutang.

"Sister, Third Brother, Xiaowu, you don't have to see me off."

Feng Zhang stood in the distance and asked him to say goodbye to them properly.

He was very low-key on this trip and only brought two horses with him.

Ye Yunfeng also traveled lightly. The young man had a tall and straight figure, and his eyes were full of vigor and vitality.

Ye Chutang looked at him and nodded.

"Then we'll wait here for you to come back."

It was such a simple sentence, but it made Ye Yunfeng feel warm in his heart, and a feeling of bitterness suddenly welled up in his eyes.

Xiao Wu suddenly rushed forward, hugged Ye Yunfeng's thighs tightly, and looked at him with reluctance with his little face.

I don’t know how long it will take for me to return.

Ye Yunfeng was also reluctant, but he had made up his mind.

He nodded vigorously.

"it is good!"

The young man squatted down, pinched Xiaowu's face, and said word by word with a burning gaze:
"wait me back!"
