Xiao Ning's eyes turned cold, and the smile on her face seemed to be a little loose.

She changed the subject and said, "How could the Emperor know that I was not the choice of the Crown Prince?"

"Xiao Hong has ulterior motives towards the Empress's wife. The fourth child, while unconscious, has injured the Empress's wife. The fifth child is only three years old... and they are all boys."

"Only as a woman like me can I give the Emperor's sister-in-law a new world."

"Since the Imperial Sister-in-law trusts the Imperial Brother so much, doesn't she believe that the Imperial Brother will make the best arrangements?"

Xie Yao bit her lower lip lightly, half believing and half doubting, "Don't lie to me, His Highness is fine... Besides, if it's really as you said, why would you come to me?"

"This is a test," Xiao Ning said without hesitation. "After all, I'm the one who will be working with the Emperor's wife in the future. If I don't have this little bit of ability, how can the Emperor trust me?"

Xiao Ning took the jade pendant from her waist and placed it on the table. "There's still a lot of time to go by. My dear sister-in-law, you don't have to make a decision right away. If you change your mind, you can always come to me."

"This is a token of my love."

After saying this, he strode away.

Xie Yao looked at Xiao Ning's back, her face thoughtful, a cold light flashing in her eyes...

Xiao Ning really came with bad intentions.

However, it was a good time for her.

As soon as Xiao Ning walked out of the yard, he met Xiao Ji walking towards him.

The brother and sister looked at each other, and it seemed as if invisible lightning collided and exploded in the air. Xiao Ning raised the corners of his lips, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

"Brother Royal."

Xiao Ning was the first to bow, smiling brightly, "From now on... I hope you will give me more guidance."

Xiao Ji paused slightly as his steps forward, and a hint of emotion appeared in his usually calm eyes.

Xiao Ning blinked, her eyes revealing everything, "I won't bother you any more."

Then leave quickly.

When Xiao Ji entered the room, he saw the jade pendant in Xie Yao's hand.

It belongs to Xiao Ning.

"Your Highness!"

Xie Yao put down the jade pendant and ran towards Xiao Ji.

Xiao Ji's body reacted faster than his brain. He hurried forward to catch Xie Yao, worried that she would fall.

Xie Yao threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly.

Xiao Ji hugged her and said, "I am alone."

Xie Yao buried her head in Xiao Ji's chest, breathing in his reassuring scent. After a while, she said, "The eldest princess wants to win me over."

Xiao Ji guessed it.

But he didn't expect his Crown Princess to be so... frank at this moment.

"She said that Your Highness is unreliable, and she also said that Your Highness..." Xie Yao bit her lower lip lightly, her bright eyes full of sadness.

Xiao, Ning!

Xiao Ji felt a surge of inexplicable anger in his heart.

He didn't know how to say it, but Xiao Ning blurted it out.

"Your Highness..."

Xie Yao grabbed the corner of Xiao Ji's clothes, her fingers turning white.

Xiao Ji's face turned pale. Looking at the sad Xie Yao, he felt a strong sense of unwillingness in his heart.

How much he wanted to be with her for a long time...

"Yaoyao."

Xiao Ji's voice was forbearing and restrained, "Don't like me too much."

Don't dislike him either.

A little bit……

A little bit of like is enough.

Xiao Ji did not give a direct answer, but his words were a tacit agreement.

"No."

Xie Yao lowered her eyes slightly, hiding the panic and helplessness in her heart. "I just like Your Highness, I only like Your Highness, I like Your Highness the most."

"Yaoya..."

As soon as Xiao Ji opened his mouth, Xie Yao raised her head and blocked his lips.

She closed her eyes, her face was pale, her breathing was a little rapid, and her curled eyelashes were wet by something and were trembling slightly.

Xiao Ji held her waist.

The two of them fell into the kiss together.

for a long time.

Xie Yao's cheeks were flushed and her breathing was rapid. Xiao Ji helped her sit down on the armchair.

She took a sip of tea, and when her expression eased a little, she said, "Your Highness, I remember the court physician said last time... Your Highness's health has improved significantly recently?"

Xie Yao's eyes were full of anticipation.

Xiao Ji nodded and did not hide it.

He didn't really want to live before, but now... he really wants to.

So he has been busy looking for that group of doctors recently, asking them to communicate and search together and give him advice on how to treat his illness.

The toxins in his body were gradually being cleared out.

Xie Yao is here.

Plus the medicines prescribed by the doctors...

However, in order to save costs, he ordered the doctors to make pills instead of boiling them every day.

Xiao Ji told Xie Yao about his situation one by one.

Xie Yao pointed at herself, "Me?"

What does she do for His Highness?

Provide motivation to live?

Xiao Ji looked at Xie Yao seriously, "Crown Princess, you are my antidote."

Not just physically, but mentally as well.

Xiao Ji's eyes were deep, like a whirlpool that could devour a person. Xie Yao's heart skipped a beat when she was looked at. She lowered her eyes slightly before she regained some composure.

Xiao Ji then continued to talk about today's events, "Don't worry about Xiao Ning..."

Don't think he doesn't know Xiao Ning's plan for his Crown Princess!

He held Xie Yao's hand and said, "Yaoyao, don't be afraid."

"There are Pei Chen, the Wei family, the Zhao family, Xie Zhan..." Xiao Ji listed them one by one, "I believe in my Yaoyao."

He is confessing.

If he was unable to save the situation, his men would protect Xie Yao. Moreover, he had been teaching Xie Yao the art of being a king for a long time.

He never avoided mentioning Xie Yao when discussing state affairs with Pei Chen.

He is already paving the way for his Crown Princess.

This is the answer Xie Yao wanted when she mentioned this matter today.

Even if Xiao Ji died, she would still want the support of the people Xiao Ji left behind, but she really heard such words.

Xie Yao didn't feel happy in her heart.

Xie Yao raised her eyes, her dark eyes full of stubbornness, "But among so many people, I only want His Highness."

Xiao Ji, who was originally half-squatting in front of Xie Yao, slowly stood up, did not answer, but leaned over to kiss her.

……

The Xie family's household duties were taken over by Miss Qingqing, a guest living in the mansion, so Zhang has had a lot of free time recently.

In addition, she had just learned about Song Wenbo's beastly behavior, and she couldn't get Xie Yujiao to leave, so she had no choice but to rush to the Song family to see her daughter.

I just talked to Xie Yujiao for a while that day.

Qiucha personally presented the pregnancy-maintaining medicine.

When Xie Yujiao saw the medicine, her face immediately wrinkled, "I don't want to drink it."

Qiucha advised, "Madam, you've been having abdominal pain lately and even had bleeding yesterday. You should take the pregnancy-maintaining medicine."

Xie Yujiao muttered, "I've been drinking for so long, but the situation hasn't improved. Instead, it's gotten worse."

"What a quack!"

Xie Yujiao cursed, but still prepared to drink the medicine while pinching her nose.

But Zhang was quick-witted and quickly held Xie Yujiao's hand, her face grim. "Wait!"

Song Wenbo knew that Jiaojiao was not pregnant with his child. He treated Jiaojiao like that in the past, so would he really let Jiaojiao give birth safely now?

Thinking of this, Zhang's hand twisted.

The medicine bowl was immediately knocked over, staining Zhang's sleeves and handkerchief.

Xie Yujiao hurriedly said, "Mom?!"

Zhang felt relieved and comforted her daughter, "Mom is fine." The medicine was sent in after it had cooled down, so it didn't hurt her.

But she had to find a way to get a trustworthy doctor to check on Jiaojiao...

Zhang's mind raced. Even though she hated Song Wenbo, she still thought of him as "I heard that the Baiyun Temple in the suburbs of Beijing is very spiritual. My son-in-law has suffered such a misfortune this time. Why don't you go and get a peace amulet for him?"

Xie Yujiao's eyes lit up, but she was still a little hesitant, her cheeks blushing as she said, "My husband can't leave me alone lately..."

Zhang was almost furious, "Jiaojiao, don't you want your son-in-law to live in peace and safety in the future?"

Xie Yujiao was immediately convinced.

Zhang was worried that Song Wenbo would not let them go, so she personally asked Liu Mama to talk to Song Wenbo before leaving the Song family.

Just got on the carriage.

Zhang's face immediately darkened. "Find a doctor immediately and go quietly to Baiyun Temple tomorrow."
