Chapter 88 Doubt

Xia Hanyu had naturally heard of it, but never thought that Si Mingliang was the child of the old couple.

The old couple looked to be in their sixties, but Si Mingliang in front of them looked to be in their late teens at most.

"Why does Your Highness look at me like this?"

Si Mingliang couldn't help but raise his hand and touch his face, thinking that there might be something dirty on his face.

Xia Hanyu said calmly, "Si Mingliang, I am not hiding this from you. The reason why we are here is to receive the petition from your parents to Beijing."

"Did you write that piece of paper?"

The handwriting on the petition paper was delicate but the writing was a bit sharp. In addition, he had been acting scared when he first saw them, so she asked this question.

Si Mingliang was surprised and then nodded, "But it was written by Wansheng, and Wansheng asked someone to tell my father and mother to go to Beijing to complain."

But he never expected that this piece of paper would be handed into the hands of Jin Yiwei and the eldest princess. He was both happy and distressed at the same time.

"My father and mother must have suffered a lot."

Xia Hanyu did not answer his words, but continued to ask him.

"I heard from your parents that you have been in that pit for the past few years. Since you are in there, why can you still write the petition? How did you pass the petition out?"

At the end of the question, her eyes gradually became sharp, and there was a bit more suspicion in her eyes.

"Maybe it's my luck to be born late."

Si Mingliang was silent for a moment and then suddenly spoke.

"Although Wan Sheng was unlucky enough to be arrested, after staying for a while, he suddenly discovered that one of the guards was someone Wan Sheng had helped before he took the exam. He said that they could only follow orders there, and although he could not save

But after I begged him countless times, I was willing to help bring paper and pen in, and then sent the paper I wrote to my parents."

"Then how do you know he won't harm you?"

Xia Ji's eyes were sharp and she squinted at him.

"That's because he has leverage in Wan Sheng's hands."

Si Mingliang naturally knew that they still didn't fully trust him, so he said helplessly.

"What kind of handle?"

"He killed someone by mistake and was seriously injured. He was saved by Wansheng."

The laws of Bactria stipulate that although a murderer can be a soldier, he cannot be a general, and he can only be a vanguard. When the war comes, he will be the first to rush forward and die. Even if he has great military achievements in the future, he will never have any chance of promotion.

Si Mingliang used this law to threaten him and help him.

"I see." Xia Hanyu raised her eyes, and she really didn't expect such a reason.

"Then you're not afraid that he will kill you?"

The other party is the guard inside. It is not difficult to kill someone silently inside.

"Then who knows."

Si Mingliang shrugged. He was indeed afraid of this at the time, so he was still a little defensive, but in the end he lived up to his expectations.

He looked at Xia Hanyu and said, "No matter what, your presence is enough."

"So, can I go back to see my parents?"

Si Mingliang's eyes began to become anxious.

He has been taken out for so long, they should have discovered it by now.

If they find out that he is gone, they will definitely go to Cangshan Village to search.

"Don't worry, there are people from me and Jinyiwei guarding Cangshan Village in the dark. If those people dare to kill people, they will take action."

She was already on guard, not to mention that her only relative, Aji, was still there.

"That's good."

Si Mingliang breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and bowed respectfully, "Wan Sheng, thank you for your life-saving grace."

Not only his life, but also the lives of his parents.

His parents were able to walk to Beijing and return home safely. He believed that this must be due to the kindness of the eldest princess.

Xia Hanyu raised her hand to spare him the false courtesy.

"Take him down to rest. He will not leave the room without my instructions."

"only."

Yu Xiao took the person down and placed him in their own resting room.

Xia Hanyu raised his eyes and looked at An Yi, "Go and guard there again. If you can, go in and explore it yourself."

After saying this, he paused again.

"Just disguise yourself as Si Mingliang and go in."

In this way, even if the trick is revealed, it will not be noticed quickly.

"only."

An Yi cupped his hands and turned to leave.

After everyone retreated, Xia Hanyu slowly stood up, walked to the bed and looked at the empty street outside the window, closed his eyes before slowly speaking.

"Aji, what do you think?"

"I want to go to the border to find out what's going on in person, but I...can't worry about the safety of His Highness."

His brows were furrowed deeply, and the worry in his eyes was unmistakable.

Xia Hanyu knew that he was a little worried about his late death. In fact, she was also worried.

If he had been killed by them, then the border here would have fallen into the hands of those people, adding countless manpower to their rebellion; just as Si Mingliang said just now, most of those soldiers might have no choice but to obey orders, otherwise they would wait. All they have is death.

She turned to look at him, her brows were clear, and she raised her hand to gently stroke the folds between his brows, "Then go ahead. I and Chengyun are surrounded by many secret guards, and there are people under your command guarding the dark places. Maybe There will be problems."

On the contrary, she was worried about him.

"You'd better take a few people with you after you leave secretly. Be sure to pay attention to safety on the road."

No one knew how many pairs of eyes were staring at them fiercely in the darkness at this time.

"good."

After a while, he nodded, held her hand tightly for a long time before letting go, then turned around and left, taking only two of them with him, leaving everyone else behind to protect her.

Xia Hanyu sighed, but couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Ever since he opened his heart, she could sense the love that was always radiating from him even without feeling it.

Does he really like her so much?

Maybe, it's more than just liking it.

As long as he thinks like this, Xia Hanyu's mood can't help but become complicated.

She was a little afraid that she would eventually let him down and hurt him even more.

We can only take one step at a time.

The only thing she can be sure of now is that as long as he is still willing, she will never abandon him easily.
