Chapter 153: Saving the Crazy Mistress in Sheep's Clothing
After dark, Ling Han changed into a black nightgown and followed the route drawn by Qingsong to quietly climb over the palace wall, avoiding the patrol route of the imperial guards.
In the afternoon, he learned from an insider in the palace that Wen Yang was now living in Yuhua Palace.
So Ling Han headed straight towards Yuhua Palace.
When Ling Han climbed into the courtyard of Yuhua Palace, Wen Yang had just finished bathing with the help of the palace servants.
She was wearing only a thin underdress and sitting in front of the dressing table, with Qiuju holding a soft handkerchief and wiping her wet long hair.
Ling Han stood outside the window and saw Wen Yang sitting in front of the dressing table through the gap in the window frame. His heart beat faster involuntarily. Ever since he found Wen Yang again, an irrepressible emotion had taken root in his heart. Now he didn't want to be separated from Wen Yang for even a moment.
At this moment, a shrill voice came from outside the main hall of Yuhua Palace: "Your Majesty has arrived————"
At the same time, a childish voice rang out: "Little Li, you wait outside. I can go in alone."
The person who came turned out to be the emperor, Xiao Qing'an, who is only five years old now!
Ling Han immediately hid quietly in the shadows of the corner of the palace wall, holding his breath, and observing the situation vigilantly.
When Qiuju heard the noise outside, she immediately put down the handkerchief in her hand and asked in confusion, "Your Highness, why would His Majesty visit at such a low hour?"
Wen Yang was also confused at the moment, "Let's wait for someone to come in and take a look." Then she stood up and adjusted her thin inner clothes.
Yaoyao and Zhuozhuo immediately found a coat and put it on Wen Yang.
As soon as he put on his clothes, Xiao Qing'an appeared at the door of the bedroom.
All the palace servants in the hall knelt down immediately.
Wen Yang also stepped forward and bowed gracefully, "Princess Wen Yang of Ling Kingdom, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
"No need to be so polite, just stand up." Xiao Qing'an said calmly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wen Yang then stood up and looked up at the little emperor in front of him.
I noticed that the little emperor's expression at this moment seemed different from what he looked like in the hall during the day.
Xiao Qing'an didn't care about Wen Yang's curious gaze. He walked to the table and sat down. Because the chair was a bit high, Xiao Qing'an even tiptoed a little before he could sit on it steadily.
Wen Yang looked at him like this and couldn't help but smile in his heart, then he walked to the table and sat down.
"Your Majesty, why are you visiting me so late at night?" Wen Yang asked directly what was on his mind.
Xiao Qing'an didn't blame Wen Yang for being direct. He said, "I want to ask you how my fourth brother, Xiao Mohan, is doing in Ling Country."
When Wen Yang heard the words 'Xiao Mohan', he was stunned for a moment before realizing that Emperor Jiang was asking about Ling Han's situation.
A trace of vigilance suddenly rose in her heart. Emperor Jiang was now the Queen Mother's puppet, and even she, a newcomer, knew it.
And now that Emperor Jiang had visited Yuhua Palace at night, the first question he asked was about Ling Han. It was hard not to make Wen Yang think that Emperor Jiang had come here to gather information at the Queen Mother's behest...
So she smiled slightly and replied, "I'm sorry, I don't know his situation. His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince of Jiang State should still be in the Honglu Temple. As a hostage, he is not allowed to go out on weekdays."
"Really?" After hearing Wen Yang's words, Xiao Qing'an showed a lonely look on his face.
Wen Yang quietly observed the expression on Xiao Qing'an's face, and always felt that Xiao Qing'an did not look as young and immature as he did during the day.
Seeing Xiao Qing'an sitting at the table in silence, Wen Yang took the initiative to ask, "Your Majesty visited Yuhua Palace at night. Does the Empress Dowager know?"
Hearing this, Xiao Qing'an showed a self-deprecating smile on his face. He raised his eyes and looked at Wen Yang: "Sure enough, Lingguo also knows that I am a puppet."
A hint of surprise flashed in Wen Yang's eyes. She originally thought that Emperor Jiang had no idea about court affairs, but she didn't expect that he also knew that he was being used as a puppet.
Wen Yang lowered his eyes and said softly, "I don't understand what your majesty is talking about."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qing'an shook his little head and said, "It's okay. I don't care about these things. This matter is already known to the whole court."
Then, as if afraid that Wen Yang might misunderstand him, he explained, "You don't have to worry that I visited Yuhua Palace at night to gather information for others. I just want to know if my royal brother is doing well in Lingguo. If he is still alive and well, I will be satisfied."
After hearing this, Wen Yang pursed his lips and replied, "Ling State is not a cruel and merciless country. As long as he stays honestly in the Honglu Temple, no one should make things difficult for him."
"Really? That's good. I'll leave first. You should rest early." After saying that, Xiao Qing'an jumped off the chair, turned around and walked towards the door of the hall.
"Farewell, Your Majesty." Wen Yang stood up and bowed silently behind him, watching Xiao Qing'an leave.
Wen Yang sat back in his chair only after Xiao Qing'an left.
Originally, when she saw Xiao Qing'an during the day today, she thought he was just a child.
But now it seems that Xiao Qingan is not as simple as he seems. At least when Xiao Qingan was talking to her just now, his mind was not like that of a five-year-old child at all.
Qiu Ju whispered, "Your Highness, what exactly does the Emperor of Jiang mean? He came here late at night just to ask about the news of the Fourth Prince of Jiang..."
Wen Yang was also thinking about this question at the moment. She couldn't guess what Emperor Jiang's intention was, and she couldn't help feeling a little depressed and a little hot in her heart.
So she sighed, rubbed her brows and said, "I'm going out to get some fresh air."
As soon as Wen Yang pushed open the door of the palace, a very fast black shadow rushed in from outside, rolled neatly, and rolled into the bedroom.
Qiu Ju thought it was an assassin, so she rushed forward and protected Wen Yang behind her. Just as she was about to scream, she heard the dark shadow whisper, "Don't shout, it's me, Ling Han!"
Qiuju widened her eyes in disbelief, while Yaoyao and Zhuozhuo beside her did not react at all and silently closed the door of the hall.
After all, they were very familiar with their master's figure, and they immediately recognized the master's silent roll just now.
Furthermore, through their observations along the way, they had long suspected that their master would find an opportunity to meet His Highness Wen Yang... After all, before their master's identity was exposed and they were following the marriage convoy, they had personally stayed near His Highness Wen Yang without sleep, as if they were afraid that His Highness Wen Yang would disappear before their eyes, and they would only rest for a while when they could no longer hold on...
Wen Yang was also very surprised to see Ling Han at this moment. She immediately went forward to greet him, "Why are you here?"
Ling Han smiled slightly, leaned over to Wen Yang's ear and whispered softly, "Because I miss you."
