Part 1 - Yu Nu Jiao / Jade Slave / Enslaved By Love

Chapter 069 Something Happened to the Xie Family

Xie Yun's heart skipped a beat, and she felt uneasy for some reason. She looked at Liangpin, who was still holding her hand tightly and talking to her in private. After hesitating for a moment, she said goodbye.

Liangpin held her hand reluctantly: "Are you really going to leave? Are you really not going to come to Changnian Palace? Look at your hand. I heard that people from Hanzhang Palace have troubled you. After Zhaoyang Palace comes out, you will be even more restless... Sister, listen to me. No matter what happened between you and the emperor, go and be soft with him, don't embarrass yourself."

Xie Yun pulled the corner of her mouth: "Don't worry about my affairs, just take good care of yourself."

When the enemy comes, the general will stop the water and the earth will cover it. It's better to hold on as long as you can.

Liangpin knew that she couldn't convince her, and couldn't help but sighed: "Okay, sister, you must find me if you have something, I will help you."

Xie Yun didn't take it to heart, but still agreed.

Liangpin was a little happier and personally escorted her out the door.

But before she even reached the door, the little palace maid who was specifically inquiring about the news came running over and said that the emperor was injured.

Xie Yun was startled and subconsciously took a step forward: "Injured?! Where is the injury? Is it serious? How could he be injured? Where is Cai Tianxi? So many people followed him..."

"Sister, don't panic," Liangpin noticed her nervousness and hugged her arm comfortingly, "The emperor is a lucky person, nothing will happen."

She glared at the little palace maid: "Why don't you explain it clearly?"

"Yes, I just saw the hustle and bustle outside and went over to listen. It was said that the emperor was hit in the chest by a stone when he passed by the imperial garden. He has already gone to the imperial study, and the imperial physician has followed him there."

"Chest..."

Xie Yun raised her hand and grabbed the clothes on her chest, looking worried.

Liangpin was relieved: "The palace is still so quiet, I think nothing happened."

Xie Yun was reminded that Liangpin was right. If Yin Ji had something wrong, the palace should have been in chaos by now. The person should not be a big deal, but she was worried and it was chaotic.

She was slightly relieved, but Liangpin looked at her helplessly: "If you are so worried, just go and see, why are you so stubborn?"

Xie Yun lowered her eyes and smiled bitterly. The other party was injured and refused to return to Qianyuan Palace. How could she be stubborn?

"No, there is still a lot of work in Qianyuan Palace. Goodbye."

She ignored Liangpin's reaction and hurried back. Now it is different from before. She can't act freely. It took a lot of effort to get out this time. Now she has to rush back to change shifts with others.

The maid who was on duty for her was already anxious after rushing all the way. When she saw her coming back, she immediately threw away the rag in her hand: "You are back. Eunuch Dechun came to inspect just now. Fortunately, I was smart enough to avoid him."

Xie Yun ignored her request for credit, threw her a piece of silver, and rolled up her sleeves to continue working.

But the maid did not leave, and still stood not far away and watched her.

Xie Yun said without any emotion: "I will clean it for you."

The maid left with a smile.

Qianyuan Palace is so big that Xie Yun alone can't clean it. This maid is also a palace maid who cleans the floor, but she is not as meticulous as her. She will be lazy every now and then. Although the corridor she is responsible for looks clean, there is dust in every corner.

Xie Yun sighed, rolled up her sleeves and began to clean, but soon the words of the little maid in Liangpin Palace rang out again, hitting his chest, the imperial doctors had gone to the imperial study.

How could it hit his chest? Was it amazing to have so many imperial doctors?

She twisted the rag and was in a daze. She knew in her heart that her concern meant nothing to Yin Ji, even if she knew it, but she couldn't control herself.

Otherwise, she would go and take a look secretly... Don't let him see it, don't cause trouble, just to have peace of mind.

She quickened her pace to finish the work in her hands, but there were too many places. Although she had tried very hard, it was still dark when she finished. She rubbed her sore knees and wrists and climbed up. She didn't bother to change clothes. She hurriedly handed over the wooden basin and walked out, but as soon as she turned into the palace road leading to the imperial study, she was stopped by someone.

It was Qi Yan.

He had helped her many times, and Xie Yun was grateful to him, but now she didn't have the heart to greet him. She greeted him hastily and was about to leave.

But Qi Yan, who was always considerate, seemed not to notice that she was worried this time, and raised his hand to stop her: "Miss Xie, I have something to give you."

Xie Yun refused bluntly: "Sorry, Master Qi, I have other things to do now..."

"Maybe you can take a look first."

Xie Yun shook her head subconsciously: "Really, no, I can't take yours..."

A blood-stained jade pendant was handed over. Although the moonlight was not very bright, it was still visible that the jade pendant was damaged.

Although Qi Yan was born in a poor family, he was at least a Hanlin scholar, and he would not give such a broken thing to others. Xie Yun immediately realized that something was wrong.

She hesitated for a moment and raised her hand to take it. In the moonlight, she could vaguely see a word on it. She walked two steps closer and looked again and again with the help of the palace lantern before recognizing that it was half of the word "Ji".

This is her brother Xie Ji's thing!

Looking at the defects and blood stains at this time, it suddenly became shocking. For a moment, Xie Yun's heart rose to her throat: "Where did you get this thing? What happened to my brother?"

"I have never seen Brother Xie. This thing was given to me. If you want to see him, I will take you there now."

Xie Yun nodded hurriedly and grabbed the jade pendant tightly. It should have been far away people in southern Yunnan, what happened to the jade pendant that became like this?

Who brought it to the capital? Could it be the Xie family?

She hurriedly followed Qi Yan with a lot of questions in her heart. The road in front of her gradually became familiar. This was the remote palace that she and Qi Yan had encountered before.

It was quiet inside, so quiet that it made people panic.

The lesson learned from the past made Xie Yun alert instantly, and she stood by the door and didn't dare to move forward.

Qi Yan seemed not to notice that something was wrong with her, and walked in by himself, then clapped his hands gently: "Come out, I brought your lady with me."

A burst of hurried footsteps sounded, and Xie Yun looked at the person who came in vigilantly, but before she could see the other person's face clearly, the person knelt down in front of her with a "thump", hugged her legs and said in tears: 

"Girl, save the master and his wife, and save the eldest son, they are poisoned by miasma, otherwise they will die!"
