"Yes."

A hoarse voice sounded in the darkness, "It is said that the amount of medicine inhaled was not much."

There was also some doubt in this person's voice.

He was sure that the person who attacked him would show no mercy.

But since he had already done it... how could it have ended like this? In just a month, could it be that he had truly developed feelings for that brat and couldn't bear to let him go?

Unfortunately, the person who did it has been locked up in the Prince's Mansion. Even for her, it would be very difficult to see him again.

"waste."

The sharp female voice sounded again, not concealing her disdain and contempt at all.

"..."

The dark room fell silent.

After a while, the man snorted softly, "Can you do it again?"

The hoarse voice was filled with a hint of mockery, "It's not that easy to enter the Prince's Mansion."

The people at the Prince's Mansion looked upon the twins as if they were their own eyes.

He was able to take action this time because he had made plans early on.

Again?

Do you really think it's so easy to attack the Prince's Mansion?

Xiao Ji died a long time ago.

Humph.

The woman snorted and walked out the door.

The bright moon shines down...

It was the eldest princess Xiao Ning!

She was led out of the house by her servants, where her carriage was waiting outside.

Long after she left.

Then a figure came out from the back door and got on the carriage that had been waiting there.

As the carriage left.

On the quiet eaves, another figure was jumping in another direction.

……

Prince's Mansion.

The twins are still young and need to be fed at night. Placing them in the main house will inevitably wake up Xie Yao and Xiao Ji.

Xie Yao opened her eyes when she heard the noise and saw Xiao Ji lifting the curtain and coming in.

"Your Highness."

Xie Yao shouted.

Xiao Ji sat down beside the bed, feeling a slight breeze on his body. "Are you awake?"

"Go to sleep." Xiao Ji patted Xie Yao's shoulder, "Zhao Zhao Suisui just drank milk and fell asleep."

The next day, early in the morning.

The emperor gave the order.

The Crown Prince does not need to go on the trip to Shu. The Third Prince Xiao An will be in charge, and Pei Chen will assist him.

When Xie Yao heard the news, her face instantly turned dark.

There's no such thing as destroying a bridge after crossing it, right?

The prince and Pei Chen were busy for a month, checking the reports sent from Shu every day. There were many stubborn people in Shu, and it was Xiao Ji who came up with the solution, and Pei Chen personally rushed to implement it.

Pei Chen had personally visited Shu for over a month. If she hadn't been in confinement after childbirth, His Highness would have gone there long ago.

Now that she has finished her confinement, the people in Shu who needed to be relocated have also been relocated...

With a light order, His Majesty gave Xiao An the credit that was about to be achieved.

Xie Yao immediately got up and went to the study.

Pei Chen was there too, also with a frown on his face, obviously very dissatisfied with such an order.

"knew?"

Xiao Ji was not angry. He pulled Xie Yao to sit down and poured her a cup of tea.

Obviously trying to calm her down.

Xiao Ji said, "It's all for the people. With Pei Chen watching over me, I feel relieved."

If even Pei Chen withdrew, then he would make trouble.

I think Your Majesty also knows.

Xie Yao naturally knew it, but she just felt indignant for His Highness.

She saw clearly how hard His Highness had worked over the past month, but now he was letting the Third Prince reap the benefits.

Why?

Because the third prince is so confident?

Xie Yao just looked down on the third prince.

When Xiao Hong was powerful in the past, he hid very well.

As soon as Xiao Hong was caught, he jumped out immediately.

After pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger for a long time... you are no longer afraid of really turning into a pig!

What made Xie Yao even more angry was that Xiao An was snatching food from the tiger's mouth! Even if he was picking Xiao Ji's peaches, it would not be his turn.

There are also Zhaozhao and Suisui.

Seeing that Xie Yao was really angry, Xiao Ji gave Pei Chen a look, and Pei Chen immediately retreated obediently.

Xiao Ji then walked over to Xie Yao and put his arms around her. "A few days ago, His Majesty fainted again in the imperial study."

Not many people knew about this news, so it didn't spread.

Xie Yao quickly understood what was going on.

Although the emperor is only at the age of 50, he does not seem to be in good health.

He had to consider the country and needed an heir who was not excellent but at least qualified.

Although Xiao Ji is a good person, he has fatal flaws.

After thinking it through, Xie Yao felt even more sorry for Xiao Ji and felt wronged for him.

His Highness was the most brilliant and talented of all! Yet he had to be bullied like this!

Xiao Ji held her head against his chest, his warm palms on her hair, and changed the subject, "It was Xiao Ning who attacked Zhao Zhao."

When mentioning the word "Xiao Ning", Xiao Ji's tone was no longer as gentle as before, only a cold murderous intent remained!

Xie Yao also guessed that it was most likely her.

But after hearing His Highness's firm words, he still asked, "Your Highness, have you confirmed it?"

"Yeah." Xiao Ji nodded, "Xiao Ning met someone last night..."

confirmed.

At this moment, Si Nan's voice came from outside, "Your Highness, someone from the Third Prince's Mansion wants to see you."

Xiao An’s people?

"What's the matter?" Xiao Ji asked.

Si Nan said: "The steward of the Third Prince's Mansion said that he was in a hurry to leave the city and could not come to the Crown Prince's Mansion to pay a visit in person."

"Therefore, I would like to ask Your Highness to hand over all arrangements and countermeasures for Shu to the Marquis of Zhenbei, and have him lead the charge to Shu."

Xie Yao was stunned. "He's gone?"

The imperial edict was just issued this morning, and Your Highness entered the palace yesterday, but His Majesty did not reveal a single detail.

It's only noon now, and Xiao An has already left?

Xie Yao just felt disgusted!

A cold light flashed in Xiao Ji's eyes, "He is quite decisive."

"I checked and found out that the Third Prince had already left the city with light luggage before the city gates closed at sunset yesterday." Si Nan added.

"Let him be." Xiao Ji said.

As for what the Third Prince wants...

Of course it has to be given.

And Xiao Ji would not keep anything to himself.

This matter concerns the life and death of the people in Shu. Even though Xiao Ji is angry about being plotted against, he will not use the lives of the people as bargaining chips.

Xie Yao also understood.

So besides feeling heartbroken, I also feel chilled.

Xiao Ji handed Pei Chen the thick, brick-like folder on the desk and warned him, "Be sure to keep an eye on the third brother."

The third brother has been hiding his talents for many years, but he has caught the attention of Grand Tutor Xuan and the Xuan family. I think he must have some abilities.

But this is the first time we have done such a big thing.

The lives of the people are not a joke.

Pei Chen knelt on one knee and took the item from Xiao Ji's hand, "Please rest assured, Your Highness!"

Based on His Highness's sincerity, he will also look forward to the Third Prince doing this matter beautifully.

Pei Chen didn't stay long either.

That day he returned to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion to pack his things and prepare to go to Shu.

The servants of the Marquis' Mansion were packing up their things, but Pei Chen turned around and went to the Zhao family.

He and Yingying had just expressed their feelings to each other, and before they had even had time to get along properly, he was about to leave Beijing again...

I hope that when he comes back, Yingying will still recognize him as her...lover.
