Chapter two hundred and ninety seventh sudden disappearance
On the fourth day after Xia Han went to Wanfo Temple to fast, the guards of Wanfo Temple hurried to Chehou’s mansion to report that Xia Han was gone!
Lian Che was shocked and took the people from Chehou’s Mansion to Wanfo Temple for a day and a night. He asked the disciples from Wanfo Temple, but he still found nothing. She seemed to have disappeared out of thin air!
When Lian Che returned to Chehou Mansion tiredly, Ruan Mengxi was waiting for him. He looked at Ruan Mengxi with helpless expression: "Aunt Mengxi, I have searched all over Wanfo Temple but couldn't find my mother. What should I do if something happened to her?"
Ruan Mengxi looked at him with pity, she gently stroked Lian Che's hair and whispered: "Criminal, Aunt Mengxi wants to tell you something. Don't be sad after hearing it, and don't blame the lady!"
Lian Che looked at her, his eyes were confused and said, "Does Aunt Mengxi know where her mother went?"
Ruan Mengxi nodded and sighed: "Although I don't know who helped the lady leave, she was indeed prepared early in the morning. After the prince went to Wanfo Temple to find the lady, I found two letters in her makeup box, one was a letter to the prince's family, and the other was a letter to the Marquis and Heli!"
"He Li Shu?" Lian Che took a step back in shock, hurriedly opened the two letters in Ruan Mengxi's hand and read them, his face getting paler and paler!
He looked at Ruan Mengxi and said bitterly: "It turns out that I really have an older sister. Aunt Mengxi has known about it for a long time, right?"
Ruan Mengxi nodded and sighed: "I know, but I didn't expect that the lady would make such a decision for her!"
"But she did it. So what about the half-sister? My father is so nice to my mother. Can't I accept her? I can't accept her too. Why did my mother leave me and my father behind for her? How could she be so cruel?" Lian Che shouted excitedly, almost in a state of hysteria!
"Criminal, listen to me, things are not as simple as you think. The little lady is not an ordinary identity. Not only your father wants to kill her, but even Your Majesty must get rid of her. Therefore, the lady has no way to do both. Her choice is forced to do it now!" Ruan Mengxi comforted!
"Aunt Mengxi said, "My father and uncle have any reason to kill this half-sister, forcing my mother to choose between us!" Lian Che asked coldly!
"Criminal, you know that her identity is not good for you, so don't ask!" Ruan Mengxi looked away and whispered!
Lian Che was furious after hearing her words and was about to get angry. A palace servant hurriedly entered the Chehou Mansion and said with a sharp voice: "Your Majesty has an order, Miss Xuan Ruan Mengxi will come to the palace to see you!"
When Ruan Mengxi heard this, her body trembled and her face turned pale a little. After she responded, she said to Lian Che: "Criminal, if you have something to do, I'll talk about it when I come back. Don't blame the lady!"
Lian Che snorted coldly and turned his head to ignore her!
Ruan Mengxi sighed lightly and followed the eunuch into the palace!
The air pressure in Zichen Hall was terrible. Before Ruan Mengxi stepped into the hall, she heard Xia Chenying's angry voice: "A group of waste, even a woman, couldn't bear to see her, she ran away unknowingly. You should bring someone to me to chase her back now. You must not let her go to Luoyang to ruin my good deeds!"
"Yes, my subordinates obey the order!" Several people kowtowed and answered, leaving the hall in panic. When they met Ruan Mengxi waiting at the door, they couldn't help but look at her more!
Ruan Mengxi also looked at them. Although their faces were completely unfamiliar to Ruan Mengxi, Ruan Mengxi knew that these were all secret guards responsible for monitoring Xia Han. Since Xie Tianyao appeared again, Xia Chenying was worried that Xia Han would make any inappropriate actions and kept sending them to monitor them. So Ruan Mengxi was relieved to leave Xia Han alone in Wanfo Temple to fast. Although these people would restrict Xia Han's actions, they would also protect her safety. She really didn't expect that even they would not watch Xia Han!
"Miss Ruan, Your Majesty invites the girl in!" Zhao Gaoyuan's voice pulled Ruan Mengxi's thoughts back. Ruan Mengxi nodded and stepped into Zichen Hall!
Xia Chenying's face was exhausted and gloomy. The recent unhappiness made him tired and tired of dealing with it. At this moment, he had no energy to show off his good face to Ruan Mengxi. After Ruan Mengxi greeted him, Xia Chenying asked straight to the point: "How much do you know about this? Who helped Xia Han leave the capital?"
Ruan Mengxi raised her head and looked at him and said, "Back to your Majesty, the lady has not disclosed any of this matter to Mengxi, and Mengxi doesn't know who helped her!"
"You are her most trusted maid. She would never hide anything she did in the past. How could she be guarded against you this time? Did she know anything?" Xia Chenying asked with a frown!
"It shouldn't be!" Ruan Mengxi smiled bitterly, "Miss Ruo knows something, it's not as simple as guarding against me. She can't be nice to me anymore. She chose not to tell me this time, maybe it was because she was afraid of implicating me, or she was afraid that one more person would know that it would cause trouble, which would make her not get out so easily!"
Xia Chenying stared at Ruan Mengxi in the hall and said, "Mengxi, don't lie to me. The consequences of lying to me are you can't afford it!"
Ruan Mengxi's face turned pale, and she looked at Xia Chenying's eyes with fog, and said aggrievedly: "For so many years, I have been loyal to Your Majesty. I will tell Your Majesty the first time I have anything to do, and I have never deceived Your Majesty with any deception!"
Seeing her like this, Xia Chenying felt a little softened. He stood up, walked to Ruan Mengxi and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said helplessly: "I just said a few harsh words, why are you so wronged? Am I afraid that you have complained about me because of Shu'er's previous incident?"
"Mengxi dares not!" Ruan Mengxi pursed her lips and opened her eyes!
Xia Chenying sighed softly and hugged her softly and whispered: "Don't be angry. When my people catch Xia Han back, you still need to persuade her for me. She is my own sister, and I don't want to make things difficult for her, but if she always fights against me for Xie Tianyao, then I can only destroy my kiss for the sake of justice!"
Ruan Mengxi trembled when she heard this. She knew that Xia Chenying was not joking and whispered: "I know, I will persuade her!"
It was not until late at night that Ruan Mengxi got on the carriage back to Chehou's mansion. It was not until she was left alone that she leaned dejectedly against the wall of the carriage. She felt that the cold sweat on her back had soaked all her clothes. She did deceive Xia Chenying and Lian Che. She knew who helped Xia Han, but that person was the most important person in her life, so she must not implicate him!
She had been watching Xia Mingshu's every move in secret, and naturally knew that he and Xia Han had reached a covenant, and were no longer just an ordinary aunt and nephew relationship. The day after Xia Han went to Wanfo Temple to fast, someone from the Yong Palace went to Wanfo Temple to donate the newly completed gold body of Wanfo Temple. This could never be a coincidence. Therefore, the person who helped Xia Han could only be her son!
