Chapter 127 Entering the Palace (2)
Xie Yin sighed.

"When you enter the palace today, get closer to her." Mrs. Min instructed Xie Yin.

Xie Yin shook her head immediately, "I don't want it."

"Why?" Madam Min frowned.

"What if she has a disease that is contagious? I have heard that there is such a disease in the world, called leprosy, and it cannot be advertised to others. If it is passed on by her, then my daughter will not live." Xie Yin showed a scared expression.

Mrs. Min also showed some emotion on her face, and murmured, "If she really has this disease and hides from others, it's not surprising that the old Hou Ye and the son would sigh and keep secret every time they mentioned her."

"That's right, mother, if you want to find out about her, don't make decisions about me." Xie Yin said repeatedly.

Madam Min nodded, "Since that's the case, don't provoke her for now. After entering the palace, let's see the situation."

Xie Yin breathed a sigh of relief.

In one of the carriages in Xie's Sixth House, there was also a mother and daughter sitting, it was Mrs. Ming and her youngest daughter Xie Yi.

Xie Yi also opened the curtain to look out secretly when Xie Fanghua walked out of the gate of Zhongyonghou's Mansion. She did not whisper, but looked at Xie Fanghua in a fiery red cloak with a curious and surprised expression.

Mrs. Ming also took advantage of the curtain opened by her daughter to look out.

It wasn't until Xie Fanghua got on the sedan chair and the team walked towards the palace that Xie Yi looked away and drew down the curtain.

Madam Ming also looked away.

Xie Yi thought for a while, and then whispered to Mrs. Ming, "Mother, that woman in the Firefox cloak is Miss Xie Fanghua from the Zhongyonghou Mansion."

"I see." Madam Ming nodded.

"Theoretically speaking, for the Xie family, our Liufang family is the closest relative to the Zhongyonghou residence." Xie Yi said again.

Madam Ming nodded.

"Mom, do you know what kind of disease she has?" Shay asked again.

Madam Ming shook her head, "I don't know."

Xie Yi was silent for a moment, lowered his head, and said with some concern, "When I was young, you took me to Zhongyonghou's mansion once on the old Houye's birthday. At that time, I saw Sister Fanghua."

Mrs. Ming was startled, "Have you seen her?"

Xie Yi nodded, "I sneaked to Haitang Garden. Remember that day when you talked to Mrs. Yongkang Hou, did you say that you couldn't find me? You asked me where I was, and I said I went to play in the back garden. That’s when I actually went to find her.”

"Why haven't I heard you mention it all these years?" Mrs. Ming asked in a low voice.

Xie Yi looked up at Mrs. Ming, "Mother, that day, I not only met her, but also the young master of Yongkang Hou Mansion. I was afraid you would scold me for meeting a foreigner in private, so I didn't dare to tell you."

Mrs. Ming was even more surprised, "The young master of the Marquis of Yongkang also went to Haitang Garden?"

Xie Yi nodded, "He didn't enter Haitang Garden, he just stayed at the door. It is said that he fought with someone and injured his hand. It seems to be the second son of Prince Ying's mansion. He happened to be met by Sister Fanghua. There are too many people in the mansion, he dare not go to Mrs. Yongkang Hou, afraid of being scolded, so he begged Sister Fanghua to help him find medicine to stop the bleeding, so Sister Fanghua took him to Haitang Garden."

"At such a young age, how dare she bring a foreigner into her yard without adults' permission?" Mrs. Ming's expression changed.

"Mother, Sister Fanghua had no choice but to not bring her into the house." Xie Yi whispered, "At the birthday banquet of the old Marquis, the second son of Prince Ying's mansion and the young master of Yongkang Marquis had a big fight. It was blood, this is a disaster of blood and light, and it is a taboo for the old master to spread it. I heard her warn the young master of Yongkang Hou's mansion, saying that next time she sees him fighting in Zhongyonghou's mansion, she will Helped him take off one hand."

Mrs. Ming breathed a sigh of relief, "It's also the same reason. It's unlucky to see blood at the old Hou Ye's birthday banquet, and it's really not appropriate to make a big fuss."

Xie Yi nodded, "At that time, I sneaked to Haitang Court, and I happened to meet him there. So, I didn't dare to tell you about it when I came back."

"You child, even if you tell me that there is a reason for the incident, mother will not blame you." Mrs. Ming asked in a low voice, "What did Miss Fanghua look like at that time?"

"Very good!" Shay said.

"How good is it?" Mrs. Ming asked.

Xie Yi said softly, "At that time she had a good complexion and a good demeanor. Although she didn't grow up, she was prettier than all the sisters in the Xie clan I've seen." After a pause, she lowered her head, "Old man After Lord Hou's birthday, I still wanted to beg you to take me to play, but I heard the news that she fainted suddenly from Zhongyonghou's residence, and I wanted to visit her at that time, but you stopped me."

Mrs. Ming nodded, "Although I didn't take you to Zhongyonghou's mansion to see her back then, I went there and didn't see Miss Fanghua herself, but Zhongyonghou's mansion was very cold, and the old Hou was also worried because of Miss Fanghua's sudden illness. He fell ill suddenly, and Xie Shizi also took care of the big and small things in the mansion with his illness, I thought at that time that the Zhongyonghou mansion was really not easy."

Xie Yi looked at Mrs. Ming and listened to her continue.

"After I returned to Liufang, I discussed with your grandmother whether we should move back. For many years, the Zhongyonghou Mansion has been thinking about our brothers and has taken good care of Liufang. Now that we are in trouble, we shouldn't just stand by. And your grandmother But she said, since I moved out, I don’t need to go back. It’s fine to go to Zhongyonghou’s Mansion to take care of me more.” Mrs. Ming continued, “Afterwards, I ran there every now and then. After about half a year, the old Marquis recovered from his illness. , I don’t go there often.”

"Mother has been there so many times and never saw Sister Fanghua?" Xie Yi asked.

"No." Mrs. Ming shook her head, "Every time I asked about the illness, the old Hou Ye and the son kept secret about Miss Fanghua's illness, so I didn't ask about it. There are some things that I know much more about. , no good."

Shay fell silent.

"How long the Zhongyonghou Mansion can last, no one knows. Our Xie clan is too prosperous." Mrs. Ming sighed, and told Xie Yi, "When you enter the palace today, you will follow your mother. If you really can't follow When I'm here, you follow Miss Fanghua and don't make any mistakes. Do you understand?"

Shay nodded.

The Xie family's team was so powerful that they arrived outside the palace wall after half an hour.

Zhongyong Hou got off the sedan chair, and a young eunuch stood guard at the gate of the palace, and immediately came forward to convey the emperor's will, "Old Hou Ye, the emperor has been waiting for you to enter the palace for a long time, after you enter the palace, bring Xie's son The relatives go to Lingque Terrace, the emperor is there. The palace banquet will start at noon, you should take your people there to rest first."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Zhongyonghou nodded and told Xie Mohan, "You send your sister to the queen to meet the queen first. Then go to Lingque Terrace."

"Old Hou, don't bother Xie Shizi to take Miss Fanghua to find the Empress Empress. The emperor ordered that Miss Fanghua enter the palace, and go to Lingque Terrace with you first. The emperor wants to see Miss Fanghua. Do you want to go later?" I will pay my respects to the empress, and then make arrangements." The little eunuch looked at Xie Fanghua who got off the sedan chair, sighed secretly at her fragile appearance, and quickly bowed.
