Chapter 444: House Arrest in the Palace

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Yuan asked, "I heard from Qin Shi's letter that you encountered many dangers on your way back to the capital. Were you injured?"

Princess Yuehua smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your concern, my Royal Brother. I have the protection of the personal soldiers you gave me, so I was not injured along the way."

"That's good."

"After not seeing you for so many years, my royal brother is still as charming and young and handsome as ever." Princess Yuehua said with a smile.

The corner of Emperor Yuan's mouth curled up into a faint smile, "After not seeing you for many years, Yuehua is still as sweet-mouthed as she was when she was young."

Although she said that, Princess Yuehua still felt the alienation and coldness of Emperor Yuan.

In the past, although the two siblings were not very close, their relationship was still good and did not make her feel as strange and uneasy as it did now.

Prince Yuehua was nervous, but the smile on his face remained unchanged. "I heard that the Queen is pregnant. I wonder if Yuehua could go and see her and her unborn nephew?"

"The Queen is feeling unwell, and the Imperial Physician has told her to rest in bed. Even if it's me, I have to get the Imperial Physician's consent if I want to see the Queen." The Emperor politely declined Princess Yuehua's request.

"Is that so?" Princess Yuehua's smile changed slightly. "Then Yuehua will not disturb my sister-in-law's rest."

Emperor Yuan nodded. "You must be exhausted after such a long journey. I have ordered the palace to be tidied up. You may go down and rest first."

Princess Yuehua didn't want to live in the palace, so she tentatively said, "Brother, Yuehua is already married, so it's not appropriate for her to live in the palace. Yuehua should just move back to the palace..."

"Hey!" Emperor Yuan interrupted her softly, "What are you talking about, Yuehua? Even if you get married, you are still the princess of Daxia, my imperial sister. The palace has always been your home, there is nothing inappropriate about it."

"But……"

"It's okay, just stay in the palace with peace of mind." Although Emperor Yuan's words sounded peaceful, they contained a hint of majesty that could not be refused.

Princess Yuehua couldn't help but hear it, so she could only agree with a smile.

Afterwards, the mother and daughter were taken away by Emperor Yuan's personal eunuch.

On the way to the palace, Princess Yuehua kept looking for opportunities to get information from the young eunuch, wanting to know what Emperor Yuan's attitude was towards Su Yuan's lawsuit against her.

The young eunuch was a tight-lipped man, and no matter how Princess Ren Yuehua asked him in a roundabout way, he refused to reveal any information.

Moreover, after arriving at the palace, Princess Yuehua discovered that there were imperial guards guarding outside the palace, and the palace maids serving were also not simple.

"If Your Highness has no other instructions, I will take my leave first." The young eunuch bowed and said.

"Wait a minute." Princess Yuehua said with a half-smile, "What's going on with the imperial guards outside?"

"Your Highness, His Majesty has considered the dangers you've encountered along the way and is concerned that there may be villains lurking in the palace, so he has arranged for the Imperial Guards to protect your safety."

"Protect my safety?" Princess Yuehua sneered inwardly, "In that case, I'll have to trouble you, eunuch, to thank my brother on my behalf."

"Yes, I will definitely convey your Highness's words."

After saying this, the young eunuch turned around and left the palace.

Princess Yuehua stood in the hall, looking at the imperial guards outside the door and the palace maids inside the hall, and sneered.

Huh! It’s clearly house arrest, but they call it protection.

It seems that my brother believed what that woman Su Yuan said!

Princess Wen'an also knew that they were now under house arrest, and called out anxiously, "Mother..."

On the other side, after Xie Beixiao sent Princess Yuehua into the palace, he immediately went to Ye Wuhen's shop.

When he arrived at the store, Jiang Yueyang was still there.

Seeing Jiang Yueyang here and that they seemed to have a good relationship, he was full of doubts.

Seeing his confusion, Jiang Yueyang took the initiative to explain: "Mr. Ye and I are friends."

"...How did Lord Xiao Jiang become friends with him?"

Although they had only met once, Xie Beixiao still felt that a cold-hearted person like Ye Wuhen could not have anything in common with Jiang Yueyang.

He couldn't explain why he felt that way, he just felt it was impossible.

Jiang Yueyang thought for a moment and said with a wicked smile, "He's so shameless that he's clinging to me, I can't get rid of him."

Xie Beixiao: "..."

Is the person she is talking about the same person he met two years ago?

However, this person seems to be very different from the feeling he gave two years ago.

"How could I be so shameless?" Ye Wuhen's voice was filled with a smile, "Don't talk nonsense."

"So you don't deny relying on me?"

Ye Wuhen suddenly felt like he had jumped into the pit she had dug. He shook his head and laughed, "Yes~ I don't deny it."

Xie Beixiao looked at Ye Wuhen suspiciously, wondering if he might have recognized the wrong person.

"General Xie, what are you doing here?" Jiang Yueyang asked.

Xie Beixiao pointed at Ye Wuhen and said, "I'll come find him."

"Do you know each other?" Jiang Yueyang asked knowingly.

Xie Beixiao: "I have seen it."

"So what do you want to see him about?"

"I want to get to know him."

Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang turned her head to glance at Ye Wuhen, then looked at Xie Beixiao and asked with a smile: "Do you need me to introduce you to each other?"

The two looked at each other after hearing this.

Xie Beixiao bowed and said, "Thank you, Master Xiao Jiang."

Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang stood up and cleared his throat, "His name is Ye Wuhen, and he's the owner of this shop and the one next door."

Only then did Xie Beixiao notice what was sold in the store.

Aren’t those the new sweet potatoes and potatoes that are coming out these days?

"Ye Wuhen, this is the general of the Longwu Army, General Xie Beixiao, and he is also the son of Lord Xie, the Jingzhao Yin." Jiang Yueyang introduced Xie Beixiao to Ye Wuhen.

As Jiang Yueyang's voice fell, Ye Wuhen clasped his fists towards Xie Beixiao and said, "I really can't remember anything about you and I meeting before. If you don't mind, today will be considered the first day we met."

Xie Beixiao stared at him deeply for a while, then clasped his fists and said, "Okay."

"Then you guys chat, I'm going back." Jiang Yueyang patted Ye Wuhen's arm, "Think carefully about what I told you."

Ye Wuhen twitched his lips slightly but said nothing. After watching her leave, he told Xie Beixiao to look around the shop.

Xie Beixiao was only interested in Ye Wuhen now, so he chased him and asked, "Who did you learn martial arts from?"

"No comment."

"Why did you appear there that night? Were you just passing by or..." Xie Beixiao paused and lowered his voice, "Or was it someone who asked you to come here?"

Ye Wuhen knew immediately that he suspected he was being hired to kill someone, so he said calmly, "Thank you, General. I told you, I don't remember seeing you anywhere before."

Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Xie Beixiao was silent for a while, then asked, "What is your purpose in approaching Master Xiao Jiang?"

"Purpose?" Ye Wuhen smiled. "She's such a powerful person. If I had a purpose, could I hide it?"

Xie Beixiao was stunned and realized that he had acted stupidly.

"General Xie, I have something else to do, so I can't stay here with you." Without waiting for Xie Beixiao's response, he turned and went into the backyard.

Xie Beixiao wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Canglang.

In a blink of an eye, it was late at night and everything was silent.

Ye Wuhen climbed over the wall and entered the Lanyue Pavilion. He thought it would take some effort to avoid everyone seeing the sleeping Jiang Yueyang.

Unexpectedly, Guyu was not on duty outside.

Jiang Yueyang has always been considerate of his subordinates and has a protective shield around him, so even if he asks someone to keep watch, he won't let them do so until late at night.

Therefore, when Ye Wuhen came over at this time, he sneaked into the room without any effort.

He knelt on one knee in front of Jiang Yueyang's bed, looked at her sleeping face and called softly, "Jiang Yueyang, are you asleep?"

The person on the bed didn't react at all.

Ye Wuhen was worried and poked her cheek with his finger, "Jiang Yueyang..."

After seeing that she was indeed asleep, he was relieved and whispered, "Little melon, let's talk."
