Chapter 593 The Confusion of the Western Territory 8
Two days later, the king went out, and Xia Hourui arranged for Xueqing to enter the palace in disguise as an attendant.

Xueqing was worried that something might happen, so she specially asked Yue Qianxun to accompany her.

The desolate harem was full of desolation. From the corner of Xue Qing's eyes, Xia Hourui's eyes were bloodshot.

Xia Hourui asked the guards to wait at a distance, only Xueqing and Yue Qianxun could enter.

"Why was your concubine mother thrown into the cold palace?" Xue Qing asked, of course she knew that Xia Hourui could not answer, after all, it might trigger someone's sad past.

"I also want to know, but unfortunately I don't know until now. When I was very young, my mother and concubine were extremely favored by my father, and even though my father has never stepped into Yan Palace to see my mother and concubine, But I know very well that the concubine mother still occupies an irreplaceable position in his heart." Xia Hourui said, "Otherwise, I would not be the crown prince, and the concubine mother would not be able to live well in Yan Palace."

Xia Hourui's explanation is not unreasonable. If an emperor is really tired of a certain woman, he will not care about her life or death, let alone let that woman's son become a prince.

The rest of the palace was full of noise, but this Yan Palace was extremely cold, and no one could be seen in the huge backyard.

"Father ordered that no one can come here to see mother and concubine without his permission." Xia Hourui said, but he still often sneaked away to have a look.

The mother and concubine's sanity is deteriorating day by day, and her health is not good. Now she can hardly even recognize her son Xia Hourui.

A few crows wailed from the branches.

For some reason, as soon as she stepped into Yan Palace, Xue Qing shuddered all over, feeling that there was some kind of conspiracy lingering in it.

"This place is incompatible with the luxury and splendor of the imperial palace." Yue Qianxun sighed.

"Nanrong Medical God, if you can save your mother and concubine's illness, you will be my benefactor, Xia Hourui. I, Xia Hourui, will be grateful all my life, and I am willing to go through fire and water for you." Xia Hourui said in a deep voice.

"I'll do my best." Xue Qing could only say that, she couldn't see that Xia Hourui was really a filial son.

"This way." Xia Hourui led Xueqing to Zuo Wan of Yan Palace, where there was another row of ancient tile-roofed houses.

A low humming voice came from inside, repeating those few lines, the tone was weird, but the timbre was still pleasant to the ear.

Xia Hourui pushed the door open, and two young maids were taking care of the room. When they saw Xia Hourui coming, they were stunned for a moment and then immediately knelt down: "My maidservant pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Get up, step back first." Xia Hourui said, and handed a sachet to one of the little maids.

The little maid showed joy: "Thank you, Your Highness."

There are valuable treasures in the sachet. Every time Xia Hourui comes, he will reward these girls heavily.

The little maids retreated and closed the door.

Xueqing glanced at the inside of the house, the furnishings were elegant and simple, but clean and tidy.

Xia Hourui signaled Yue Qianxun to wait in the outer room, and brought Xueqing into the inner room. The singing came from the inner room. A middle-aged woman in her forties was sitting on the couch, murmuring.

This woman should be Xia Hourui's mother and concubine. Xue Qing looked at her, and she was not as messed up as she imagined. Although her face was haggard, she still had a charming charm and a bit of beauty.

The little maid had just combed Concubine Yan's hair, looking dignified and elegantly dressed, the moment Xia Hourui entered the room with her beautiful and sad eyes, the singing stopped.

"Mother and concubine." Xia Hourui's eyes flickered, and he walked quickly to the woman.
