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

When Xie Yao left the Wei family, she was holding a thick notebook in her hand.

It is a copy of the Wei family's genealogy.

She read it while sitting in the carriage.

But before she could finish reading, Zhu Qing's voice came, "Crown Princess, something happened!"

"At noon today, rumors spread in the city that there are survivors in Lingxiang Village. They claim that the National Master also lived in Lingxiang Village twenty years ago and had a crush on the young lady of the teacher in Lingxiang Village."

"The villagers of the Soul-Destroying Village are talking about hatred because of love!"

Although the man who beat the drum to report the incident survived by chance, he was still young and did not remember the events of that year very clearly.

I don’t even know these secrets.

When Xie Yao heard Zhu Qing's words, a person immediately flashed through her mind.

"Were these rumors spread through Sister Ying's channels?" Xie Yao asked as she left.

"The Crown Princess is wise."

Li Shuo!

Xie Yao said, "Hurry and go to the Heavenly Prison to find His Highness."

Although Xiao Ji might have known about this, she still wanted to inform him again just in case.

So that nothing really happens to Li Shuo.

Since Li Shuo has named and questioned him, Xiao Ning and Concubine Li will never let him go!

Li Shuo was using himself as bait to lure Concubine Li and Xiao Ning into taking action... This tactic was effective, but very dangerous.

Someone immediately went to the Heavenly Prison to deliver the letter.

When the carriage returned to the Prince's Mansion, Si Nan had already taken everything Xie Yao wanted.

Xie Yao read the Wei family genealogy and did not find any problems. Could it be that... she was wrong?

Unable to figure it out, Xie Yao shook her head slightly, put down the copied copy, and turned to look at the account book that Si Nan brought back.

Of course, she was not looking at the account book under her own name.

It’s Xiao Ning’s.

In the past, Xiao Ning had embezzled money from the Nanzhou dike incident. With such a criminal record, she didn't believe that Xiao Ning had not tampered with other things.

As long as you do it, it will leave traces.

She is good at accounting, so naturally she wants to make good use of this strength.

Zhao Zhao was poisoned by Xiao Ning.

Xiao Ji has his own way of revenge as a father, and Xie Yao has her own way of revenge as a mother.

Xie Yao spent the entire afternoon checking the accounts.

Over there in the sky prison.

When Xie Yao's people delivered the news, Xiao Ji had already learned about it. The first thing he did was to send someone to find Li Shuo.

Si Nan said, "Your Highness, Lord Li is on duty at the Hanlin Academy."

As the runner-up, Li Shuo would naturally enter the Hanlin Academy as an editor after the list was announced.

Xiao Ji: "..."

What a big heart.

"Let the people in the palace keep an eye on it and make sure nothing goes wrong."

Of course you have to fish, but you can't let them eat the bait.

"Yes." Si Nan responded, and then said: "Your Highness, this is a good thing."

"Lord Li is implicated, and this time we've caught him red-handed!"

Xiao Ji lowered his eyelids slightly, but shook his head gently, "Not necessarily."

As soon as Xiao Ji finished speaking, Si Bei walked in from outside, "Your Highness, there's news from the palace that Concubine Li went to the Yangxin Palace."

No one cares what Concubine Li does on weekdays.

After the message was left, Concubine Li, as the person involved, naturally had to keep an eye on every move.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Princess Li asked Li Dajian to pass on the message, and then she entered the palace smoothly.

But the emperor didn't even look at her. He just carefully reviewed the memorials. The Yangxin Palace was silent and oppressive.

Concubine Li clenched her hands slightly at her side, sweat oozing from her palms, and she didn't dare to make a sound to disturb him.

for a long time.

The emperor raised his eyes and asked calmly, "Why are you here?"

Concubine Li knelt down with red eyes, "Your Majesty, I beg you to make the decision."

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince should investigate the case. How can you allow someone to slander me for no apparent reason?"

"I am your Majesty's concubine. Where does this move by Your Highness the Crown Prince put your Majesty?"

Concubine Li knelt on the ground and took a few steps towards the emperor. "Your Majesty, how would you like to be with me..."

"You should know best." Concubine Li had moved to the emperor's legs, now burying her head in his lap. "Rumors are as fierce as tigers. I cannot comment on the Crown Prince's behavior."

"I only beg Your Majesty not to wrongly accuse me."

Even though she had given birth to a pair of children, Concubine Li's face was still as beautiful as ever.

Rumors were rife in the capital, and the emperor naturally knew about it.

He raised his hand and grabbed Concubine Li's chin, forcing her to look up. "My dear, do you mean... to admit that you are the daughter of the teacher in Lingxiang Village?"

Concubine Li raised her face slightly, looking at the emperor without flinching, "Lingxiang Village was destroyed twenty years ago. Before that, the only teacher in the village was my father."

"Father only has one daughter, me."

"But the rest of the rumors...are not true."

"Your Majesty is the only one in my heart." Concubine Li bit her lower lip lightly, her eyes full of grievance. "Your Majesty, don't you believe in me?"

The emperor's expression remained unchanged. "Have you and the Imperial Master ever known each other before?"

Concubine Li shook her head without hesitation.

"My father taught me the virtues and rules of being a woman since I was young. I rarely go out of the house, so naturally I have never met a man outside my family."

Besides, Lingxiang Village is covered with loess and mud, which she finds dirty!

The emperor loosened his hand and looked away.

"Your Majesty." Concubine Li cried aggrievedly.

The emperor said, "I understand."

Concubine Li wanted to ask more, but Li Dajian understood and stepped forward to see her off, "Empress Li, please."

Seeing that the emperor was reading the memorial seriously, Concubine Li did not dare to ask any more questions and could only leave the Yangxin Palace, looking back every few steps.

I wondered what the emperor meant.

She wanted to continue explaining, but she was afraid that if she said too much, she would make more mistakes and arouse His Majesty's suspicion.

It’s all Xiao Ji’s fault!

As for that damn witness... he deserves to die.

But I can't move yet...

Before she came, she had someone send a message to Ning'er, asking her not to act rashly.

You can kill him at any time.

But if I kill him now... that would make me feel guilty.

She just didn't believe that anyone knew anything.

Even if I knew, I would definitely not be able to produce any evidence.

She should have told Ning'er not to be impulsive earlier. What is she rushing to do to Xiao Ji and Xie Yao now?

Even if Xiao Ji had a son, what kind of waves could he make with only a year or so left to live?

As for Xie Yao...

Not to mention, once Xiao Ji died, she would be waiting to be slept with by thousands of men and tasted by tens of thousands of people!

With such an enchanting appearance, it would be a shame if she didn't use it to win over the court officials for Ning'er.

In this way, Xie Yao was spared the pain of being a widow.

But Ning'er just wouldn't listen.

He had to attack Xie Yao and Xiao Ji, and now this dying man is striking back...

What a headache!

Xie Yao, who was being thought of by Concubine Li, had been looking at the account books for the whole afternoon. She raised her head from a pile of account books.

A dark light flashed in his eyes.

She had divided the account book on the table into two parts, one with problems and the other with no problems at the moment.

Candles were lit in the room.

Xie Yao raised her hand and rubbed her shoulder, "Is Your Highness not back yet?"

Zhu Qing shook his head, "No, maybe something delayed him."

Xie Yao stood up and said, "No problem, go outside and greet them."

She was waiting outside the palace gate yesterday. His Highness did not show anything excessive on the surface, but in fact he was very happy in his heart.

She saw it clearly and was naturally willing to do more.

Zhu Qing smiled and readily took the cloak. "It's windy tonight. Crown Princess, be careful not to get cold. Your Highness will definitely not spare us servants."

Xie Yao glared at her and said, "You're such a chatterbox."

She glanced past Zhao Zhao Sui Sui and headed towards the main gate of the Crown Prince's Mansion. After only a few steps, she saw a figure hurriedly approaching...
