Sage Ye, who was still asleep, frowned and opened his eyes. He looked down at Shangguan Yahan's innocent face in the morning, and his eyes instantly turned red.
Shangguan Yahan suddenly felt like she was courting death.
What did she do just now?
The little Emperor's birthday banquet was very simple. There was no singing and dancing. It was just a meal for everyone.
Of course, this meal wasn't simple. Shangguan Yahan felt that he had brought all the delicacies in the world.
If this relationship was good, then she would throw her arms around and make love with him.
The birthday banquet was held in an exceptionally luxurious hall. The little Emperor and Empress sat high above, while Shangguan Yahan and Sage Ye sat on the left side of the little Emperor. The seats to their left were empty, with Sage Yan sitting at the table next to them and Shangguan Jue sitting opposite them.
Xian Shengyan was alone at the table. He had been fighting on the battlefield for two years and had yet to get a wife. He looked a little lonely.
Of course, there were many people like him who were alone, and Xian Ruoling was one of them.
Earlier, when she came in, the Empress had pulled Shangguan Yahan along to exchange pleasantries with her. Shangguan Yahan felt as if her hand was about to break from her grip and wanted to pull it out, but the Empress was too enthusiastic…too enthusiastic in her acting.
However, in the end, there was no point. He just wanted her to enter the palace more often.
Shangguan Yahan couldn't say anything, and could only nod with a smile.
Later, Shangguan Jue came over to pay his respects to Sage Ye. When he saw Shangguan Yahan, he didn't show any reaction and just greeted her as well.
Shangguan Yahan still remembered the last time she was mercilessly chased out of the house by him, so she naturally didn't give him a good look.
Sage Ye didn't know about this. He only knew that the father and daughter were at odds.
"Yahan 'er, you and your father." Sage Ye whispered into Shangguan Yahan's ear.
His last syllable was a little long, but Shangguan Yahan felt that it was too long. She turned her head and glared at him," Don't worry, I won't help him deal with you. I'm not interested in what happened between you two."”
As soon as he finished speaking, another person came in. He looked a little like Sage Ye, but he was much older.
"This lowly subject greets the Emperor." The man walked to Shangguan Yahan's side and stopped, bowing to the little Emperor.
"Who is he?" Shangguan Yahan whispered.
Sage Ye was trying to explain the misunderstanding to her, but she had already skipped over it. She smiled helplessly." He's my big brother.”
"First Imperial Uncle, please take a seat.”Xian Shiyu said with a smile.
Sage Ye's big brother, Sage Yong, bowed once again. He turned around and walked to the seat next to Shangguan Yahan. He smiled and nodded at Sage Ye before his gaze fell on Shangguan Yahan.
Shangguan Yahan also smiled gracefully and nodded, watching Xian Sheng Yong take his seat.
After the banquet began, everyone began to chat. Shangguan Yahan didn't have the time to chat right now. She wished she could have another mouth to stuff all the delicious food on the table into her stomach.
Saint Ye watched her eat so happily, as cute as a greedy little mouse. His gaze softened a little, and he picked up some food for her.
"Seventeenth brother is really considerate. This king was in a daze just now and thought that the person sitting beside you was your First Madam.”Xian Shengyong's voice slowly sounded in Shangguan Yahan's ears.
Shangguan Yahan frowned. She knew who the First Madam was. It was Qin Yurou.
But what did this man mean? She had never seen him before, and he had humiliated her in public…Could it be that they had a grudge?
Shangguan Yahan suddenly felt a chill on the back of her neck, and a murderous aura surged around her. She cursed in her heart, but the corners of her lips curled up into a decent smile. She turned around and squeezed Xian Shengye's hand twice. She nodded at Xian Shengyong and said," Imperial Brother is getting on in years. You should pay more attention to the care of your eyes. It looks like a pair of crystallites, right? Sister-in-law heard that this kind of eye disease is the most likely to cause blindness. Big brother, you should see a doctor as soon as possible.”
Xian Shengyong was obviously stunned. He was half surprised and half confused. He nodded as if he understood something." Thank you for your suggestion, Sister-in-law."”
"You're welcome. We're all family. Sister-in-law is just reminding you, but Imperial Brother, you really have to pay more attention. You can't be negligent. Sister-in-law heard that there's a kind of eye drops that's very useful, called Shapuaisi…Uh, Imperial Brother is very knowledgeable, so you should have heard of it long ago.”Shangguan Yahan smiled sweetly and looked at Xian Shengyong with admiration.
Xian Sheng Yong paused and nodded slightly." Thank you for your praise, sister-in-law.”
How could he say that he didn't know? How embarrassing would that be?
"Even Imperial Brother knows this. Imperial Brother is indeed knowledgeable.”Shangguan Yahan nodded her head vigorously, the expression on her face extremely exaggerated. It was unknown whether it was admiration or mockery, but it was obvious that Sage Yong was stunned and couldn't sit still.
"Sister-in-law, you flatter me." His voice sank a little.
"I'm not flattering you. Royal brother, I'm starting to admire you.”Shangguan Yahan became a little fan again, her eyes shining as she giggled at Xian Sheng Yong, and then began to discuss with him.
She didn't say anything definite. She asked the question and answered it immediately, then added," Royal Brother, don't you think so?"
Xian Shengyong was confused by her words and only knew how to nod. Shangguan Yahan kept praising him, but he still had to smile and pretend to be humble. He didn't even know what he was eating.
Shangguan Yahan enjoyed her meal, laughing at Xiansheng Yong in her heart. Her appetite had also increased, and she had almost swept away all the dishes on the table.
After that, everyone went out to watch the fireworks. This time, Xian Shengyong stood far away from Shangguan Yahan. Shangguan Yahan didn't have the mood to stick to him anymore. She looked up excitedly at the beautiful fireworks in the night sky.
The ancient people were very good at this. Although the fireworks they made were not as colorful as the modern ones, they were not much different.
As she looked on, she felt a burning gaze on her face. She was tired of raising her head. She shook her neck and turned to look at Sage Ye." Why are you looking at me?”
Sage Xian Ye was still thinking about what she had said to Sage Xian Yong. Not only was Sage Xian Yong confused, but he was also confused.
At first, he thought that she was making things up, but she was able to make it sound so logical that it made him understand.
How did she know so many strange things?
Did he really not know her well enough in the past?
Even now, he still didn't understand her very well. Today, he realized that he had only seen one-tenth of her.
"Nothing, I just feel that…you're very special.”Sage Ye smiled gently, but Shangguan Yahan felt that his smile had a deeper meaning.
She was thinking that it must be because of what she said just now that he became suspicious of her again.
See, he would never trust her when she was with him.
Shangguan Yahan didn't care about whether Leng Yihan would help her find the person in the dark. She had to return to his side. Staying with Sage Ye wasn't safe.
Perhaps he no longer had any interest in her. She did not know what she would have to face next.
Thinking of this, she was even more eager to leave. She really didn't want to stay by Sage Ye's side for a moment longer, nor did she dare to stay by his side anymore.
Sage Ye also clearly felt Shangguan Yahan's change and thought that Sage Yong had made her unhappy, so he didn't force her at night and only held her in his arms.
"Boss is on the little Emperor's side. He just returned to the capital a few days ago, so I can't touch him now. But Yahan 'er, don't worry. Brother Ye will avenge you.”He rested his chin on her head, his voice soft and gentle, as if he was making a promise to Shangguan Yahan.
He knew very well where Xian Shengyong had been these days. He was not sure if he had really gone to the West Chu to borrow troops, but that should be the only purpose.
In order to borrow the troops smoothly, he married the West Chu Palace Master, didn't he?
Shangguan Yahan coldly snorted in her heart.
Why was he telling her all this? Was he testing her to see if she would plead for leniency on Xiansheng Yong's behalf?
She hated people who beat around the bush.
"I'm sleepy. Let's sleep." She mumbled and closed her eyes.
When she woke up in the morning, Sage Ye entered the palace. Shangguan Yahan called Situ Yue to go to Han Zimo's house to look for Nian Yourui…Actually, they were escorting her to Nian Yourui.
She could be considered as a frightened bird now.
When they arrived at Han Zimo's house, Situ Yue and Han Zimo sat in the living room drinking tea and chatting. Shangguan Yahan had sent Nian Yourui away and sent all the servants away.
"What is it? So mysterious." Nian Yourui looked around, feeling nervous because of Shangguan Yahan.
"Yourui, I want to ask you for a favor. Can you send someone to send a letter to Brother Han and ask him to come and save me? I don't know what's wrong with Sage Ye, but he's starting to suspect me again. Although I have the divorce certificate now, the little Emperor's imperial edict is pressing down on me. I can't escape either. Only Brother Han can help me.”Shangguan Yahan sighed again.
Actually, hiding in Carefree Palace wasn't a long-term solution. Sage Ye would find her sooner or later, so she had to make sure that she was prepared to leave. She didn't need to prepare money, she just needed to ask Leng Yihan for it. The key was the terrain. She had to find a place where Sage Ye couldn't find her…
However, she still had so many good friends here. Nian Yourui, Situ Miaoxuan, and her three precious babies. Although she called them traitors, she knew that they were doing it for her own good. They were just blind to believe Sage Ye.
She knew that Han Zimo and Situ Yue treated her well.
But she really didn't like this kind of life. Although she didn't have to be on tenterhooks all day, she still had to be careful. If she said something wrong and offended Sage Ye, the consequences would be extremely severe.
