After marrying the heirless prince, I gave birth to three children

There was silence outside the Yangxin Palace for a moment, and then it exploded like water dropped into a boiling oil pan.

"Imperial Physician! Call the Imperial Physician!"

"It's not good! It's murder!"

"..."

Fortunately, the emperor was there and the situation was quickly brought under control. Xiao Hong was apprehended and thrown directly into the Sky Prison.

Xiao Ji and Xie Yao looked at each other and felt that the development of things was unexpected but also reasonable.

After a long while, Xie Yao finally said, "He really..."

"Take advantage of every opportunity." Xiao Ji added.

The person standing in front of Xiao Ning was none other than Xiao Ning's husband, the third prince Huyan Yuan, who was a hostage from the northern border.

Hu Yanyuan was placed in Xiao Ning's palace in the imperial palace.

All the imperial physicians were summoned.

Huyan Yuan represented the northern border, and if he lost his life in the palace, it would undoubtedly mean breaking the alliance.

Although Xia Kingdom is not afraid now.

But no one wants to fight.

"Your Majesty, the sword wound is located between the Third Prince's internal organs. Fortunately, it did not damage the root. With prompt treatment, his life should be safe."

The imperial physician quickly gave a conclusion.

Can't die.

Xie Yao twitched the corners of her lips slightly, as expected.

She didn't believe Hu Yanyuan's lies that he was deeply in love with Xiao Ning and was willing to die for her.

The emperor heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, "That's good."

"Your Majesty." Concubine Li's heart finally settled down. "Since the Third Prince is fine, then let Hong'er go."

"Hong'er was just anxious at the moment, he..."

"Enough!" The emperor interrupted Concubine Li in a cold voice, "In a moment of desperation, you want to take your sister's life?"

"I think he has been spoiled by you."

Concubine Li was scolded so much that she didn't dare to raise her head. She could only cry aggrievedly, "Your Majesty, Hong'er is our child..."

"Ning'er..." Concubine Li looked at Xiao Ning, wanting her daughter to plead as well, but she saw Xiao Ning sitting beside Huyan Yuan's bed, holding his hand, and her back looked very lonely.

When Concubine Li called out to her, Xiao Ning seemed to be a little slow in turning around, her eyes slightly red and her face full of grievance.

"Sister Li Fei." Concubine Shu spoke at the right time, "If it wasn't the Third Prince, the one lying here right now would be the eldest princess."

"They are all your children, why don't you ask the princess?"

Concubine Li replied subconsciously, "Ning'er, you're fine..."

Her voice gradually faded, and the emperor sneered, "You don't know what you're talking about!"

The emperor turned and left, followed closely by Concubine Shu.

Xie Yao and Xiao Ji also left the hall.

Today was really a big show. After this, the emperor must be completely disappointed with Xiao Hong.

But Xiao Ning...became an innocent victim.

It's easier on her.

Xiao Ji seemed to be able to see through Xie Yao's thoughts. He turned to look at her and said, "Father is not stupid."

Because of the last incident with the Nanzhou account book, the emperor had doubts about Xiao Ning, so of course he would be suspicious of Xiao Ning this time as well.

Plus the evidence presented by the Dali Temple.

Otherwise, Xiao Ning would not have taken the initiative to be hurt by Xiao Hong. She was just trying to use the "torture trick" to gain the emperor's pity.

Xie Yao nodded, thought for a moment, and then said, "...I don't think so."

Xiao Ji raised his eyebrows.

Xie Yao said, "Song Wenbo is Xiao Ning's man. He has recently gained the favor of the emperor."

Moreover, he was from the Imperial Observatory, so if he made up a few random words in front of the emperor, he could save Xiao Ning a lot of trouble.

Xiao Ji thought of what Si Nan had reported that day, and a hint of contemplation flashed in his eyes.

He looked towards Xie Yao, only to see his Crown Princess walking forward.

Xie Yao took a few steps and noticed that there were few people around. She stopped, turned around, walked back and took Xiao Ji's arm, "Your Highness, what are you thinking about? Let's go."

Xiao Ji raised the corners of his lips slightly, hummed, and let Xie Yao pull him away.

Just as Xie Yao said.

When the couple was leaving the palace, they saw Song Wenbo who was about to enter the palace.

Song Wenbo was wearing a red official uniform and looked quite respectable. He was walking hurriedly towards the Yangxin Palace.

Soon, the emperor's order came down.

Rewards were sent to the princess's mansion like a stream, some for Hu Yanyuan and some for Xiao Ning.

As for Xiao Hong, he was still imprisoned in the Sky Prison, but he was not punished.

Xiao Hong cried out in the prison for several days, but no one paid any attention to him.

"Your Highness."

Si Nan walked in, "The Second Young Master said he wanted to see you in prison."

A dark light flashed in Xiao Ji's eyes, "Yes."

That night.

He coaxed Xie Yao to sleep before leaving the house.

There were oil lamps burning in the sky prison.

Led by Si Nan, Xiao Ji walked to the cell belonging to Xiao Hong.

There was no one living around Xiao Hong.

His cell was also unique, with tables, chairs, and beds made of huanghuali wood, and quilts made of brocade...

The dirtiest person in the entire cell was Xiao Hong, whose clothes were splattered with blood.

Hearing the footsteps, Xiao Hong suddenly raised his eyes, with a hint of complaint in his voice, "You are finally here."

Xiao Ji: "..."

Still think he's slow?

Xiao Ji laughed angrily and turned to leave.

"Wait!" Xiao Hong said quickly, "I know you were helping me on purpose outside the palace gate that day."

Xiao Ji raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't expect Xiao Hong to say such a thing. "You don't know."

There was absolutely no need for him to admit such a thing.

Xiao Hong choked, then quickly added, "So to repay you, I decided to tell you the truth."

Xiao Ji just stood there and listened to Xiao Hong's composition.

"The Nanzhou epidemic has nothing to do with me. It was done by the third brother." Xiao Hong said solemnly, "He wants you dead."

The third prince?

Xiao Ji really didn't expect that Xiao Hong would involve the third brother in this matter.

The third prince is cowardly and honest, and his presence has always been very low.

"You do not believe?"

Xiao Hong was anxious, "Really? It's him! I know you won't live for more than two years, why would I attack you?"

"The third brother doesn't know, he did it!"

Xiao Ji: "...what you said does make sense."

This gave him a new idea. Perhaps the people who attacked him in Nanzhou really didn't know that he didn't have much time left.

interesting.

Xiao Hong let out a long sigh, "Royal brother, you must not let the third brother go!"

Xiao Hong was filled with hatred. If he hadn't heard it that day, he wouldn't have known that his sister, who was from the same mother, was in cahoots with the third brother!

"The third brother pretends to be honest, but in fact he has long coveted the position of crown prince." Xiao Hong said viciously: "Royal brother, you must not let him get away with it!"

As soon as Xiao Ji left the prison, he asked Si Nan, "Who has come into contact with Xiao Hong in the past few days?"

What he said just now didn't sound like something Xiao Hong would say.

Si Nan immediately said, "Apart from Concubine Li, no one has visited the Second Young Master these past few days."

Xiao Ji frowned, "Thoroughly investigate the guards of the Heavenly Prison."

It was almost midnight when Xiao Ji returned to the Prince's Mansion.

The autumn night was a bit chilly, so Xiao Ji simply took a shower and changed his clothes before entering the main house.

Candles were burning in the room, and the flickering candlelight was quiet and peaceful.

He looked towards the bed.

Xie Yao's fair little face rested on the soft pillow, her sleeping face was peaceful and her breathing was shallow. His heart suddenly became peaceful, and he slowed down his movements and walked to the bed.

He reached out and smoothed the hair by Xie Yao's ears.

His warm fingertips brushed across Xie Yao's delicate face, landed on her pink lips, and gently touched them.

next second.

Xiao Ji felt a warmth at his fingertips.

However, Xie Yao unconsciously held his finger in her mouth, then whimpered, opened her eyes, and said in a lazy voice, "Your Highness?"
