Chapter 567 Catastrophe
As soon as Xie Chu entered the front yard of the palace, the steward rushed up to greet him, and said cautiously: "My lord, you are back. The princess has been waiting for you in the front hall all night. No matter how much I persuade you, she refuses to go back to the backyard to rest."

"What's going on?" Xie Chu's face was worried, he stuffed the whip into the hand of the servant who was waiting on the side, and strode towards the front hall.

The steward was full of lawsuits, lowered his head and followed quickly: "The prince forgives the crime, the princess kicked out all the servants, and the old slave doesn't know what happened..."

The more the stewards spoke, the lower their voices were. As servants, they couldn't ignore the master's emotions, but they didn't dare to care too much about the master's private affairs. It was a bit embarrassing to be caught in the middle.

Xie Chu glanced at the steward coldly, the soles of his feet felt windy, and he entered the main hall in the front hall within a moment.

The door of Hongli's palace was closed tightly, and the lights in the corridor were dim, adding a bit of solitude to the unlit palace. Outside the palace gate, guarded by a group of servants with nervous expressions, they hurried forward to salute when they saw Xie Chu.

Xie Chu was thinking about his princess, he waved his hand casually, ignoring everyone's courtesy, and pushed the door open without waiting for the servant to open the door to lead the way.

There was no candlelight in the hall, and the quiet moonlight poured in through the open hall door. Song Xieyu raised his head blankly, seeing the familiar figure at the door elongated by the moonlight and reflected on himself, unable to tell what it was like in his heart.

Xie Chu pursed his lips, walked to her side with his hands behind his back, frowned and said, "Which one is the princess singing?"

Song Xieyu didn't bicker with him like usual, she just looked up at him with complicated emotions in her hazy almond eyes.

Xie Chu had never seen such a slumped Song Xieyu, her heart felt as if someone had grabbed her hard, and suddenly felt a pain, she reached out and pulled her into her arms, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Song Xieyu leaned her head on the man's broad and warm chest, listening to his calm and powerful heartbeat, her nose was sore, and she choked up, "I'm sorry..."

Xie Chu stroked the back of her head and comforted her softly, "Husband and wife are one, so you don't need to apologize to me."

After speaking, he ordered the maid outside to light the candle.

The swaying palace wax shone with warm and soft light, which brought life to the cold palace, but it couldn't illuminate the haze in Song Xieyu's heart at this moment.

With the help of the dim candlelight, Xie Chu could now clearly see the remaining tears on his princess's pale face.

Song Xieyu has an open-minded and optimistic disposition, and seldom cries so desolately. Xie Chu was taken aback and went to shake her hand lovingly: "Why are your hands so cold? I don't know how to add more clothes when the weather is cold."

Xie Chu was in a state of confusion. He didn't know what happened to Song Xieyu today, and he didn't dare to ask rashly. He only cautiously probed: "The steward said that you have been waiting for me. What happened?"

After a pause, he ordered the maid outside the palace: "Go and bring a bowl of ginger soup to the princess."

"No need, I can't drink it..." Song Xieyu shook his head, with tears in his eyes: "My lord, I'm sorry, I... I caused trouble... I'm afraid it will bring down the peace of Prince Yong's mansion..."

Xie Chu was stunned: "What disaster can you cause and implicate the entire palace?"

In Xie Chu's mind, although his concubine loves to make troubles and often causes some small troubles, she can't make any big troubles that shake the world.

Song Xieyu lowered his head, bit his lower lip tightly, hesitated for a long time, but did not say why.

"Husband and wife are one body, I will bear all the big things with you, so what can't you talk about with me?"

What Xie Chu hoped for was that the husband and wife would be of the same heart, now seeing her cover up like this is unavoidably unhappy, and fearing that his voice would scare her too much, he pressed his voice and asked: "What happened?"

Song Xieyu's voice was choked with sobs: "This matter involves a lot, and it cannot be explained clearly in a few sentences. I... I don't know where to start..."

It's not that she doesn't want to say it, but she really doesn't know how to explain this matter to Xie Chu.

If Pu Juncheng's remonstrance was revealed to Xie Chu, Xie Chu would definitely ask her how she knew about the Prince's poisoning of Emperor Jing'an, and how she found out the mountain doctor who made the poison.

How did she easily know about these things that Xie Chu and his father had been running around for a long time without any results?
How would she explain it to Xie Chu?
Do you want to tell Xie Chu that she dreamed all of this?
How could Xie Chu believe such a strange thing, it would be better not to say it, it would only add to his worries.

Xie Chu was about to be laughed at by her, he couldn't tell what it meant: "It's okay, just take your time, I'm not in a hurry."

Xie Chu sat across from her calmly, looking at her for a moment.

Facing Xie Chu's worried eyes, Song Xieyu had a sore nose, lowered his head and muttered: "It may be the disaster of destroying the family..."

She didn't dare to look at Xie Chu's face, so she paused and continued: "I, I wanted to add fire to Xie Yang without telling you, but it turned out to be self-defeating. It's a matter of life and death, Xie Yang will never sit still, if he fights to the death, I don't know what will happen in the future..."

Song Xieyu's voice gradually lowered. This time, because Pu Juncheng was so happy, she publicized the banned drug matter without being fully prepared. She couldn't crucify Xie Yang's criminal evidence and gave him a chance to counterattack.

The outcome of the current matter is not in Xie Yang's hands, nor is it under her control, it is all determined by Emperor Jing'an.

One side is the son, the other side is the younger brother. It is related to the face of the royal family and the foundation of the country. Song Xieyu dare not gamble, and dare not bet the life and death of the entire Yongwang Mansion on the whim of the dying emperor.

What Song Xieyu said was very vague, but Xie Chu understood.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world, although the matter of banned drugs was kept secret by Emperor Jing'an, there were still some rumors from the palace.

He was busy making arrangements this day, and planned to take advantage of the wind to catch Xie Yang by surprise.

It's just that he never thought that the instigator of this messed up situation was not someone else, but his own concubine.

He poked the sky out of the hole but didn't know how to repent, and was still here with him.

The more Xie Chu thought about it, the more angry he became, suppressing his anger, pretending to be surprised, "This matter is really serious, what are your plans now?"

That's why Song Xieyu was waiting in the front hall today.

Thinking of all the possibilities in the future, Song Xieyu's chest felt like a huge stone was pressed down, and even breathing became difficult.

She hesitated for a moment, then said with difficulty, "My lord, this is the business I want to tell you today."

Xie Chu raised his eyebrows and watched her plump lips open and close, but what he said made his teeth itch with hatred.

Song Xieyu still didn't know whether he was dead or alive, and said whimsically: "...The husband and wife are birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when the disaster is imminent. Now Xie Yang has not yet brought out the killer, so everything is still in time. Please give me a letter of peace. From now on, you and I will be together." Don't be too wide."

She paused, and put on a look of generosity: "I, Song Xieyu, do things by myself, and Xie Yang has the ability to come to me alone!"
