Xiao Ji nodded, "Since Yaoyao suspected that it was related to the Wei family, she naturally asked her cousin from the Wei family."

"The Wei family has a unique way of sending messages within the military, which is safe."

In fact, Xiao Ji also felt something was wrong...

Every time he went to Concubine Shu's palace to pick up Yaoyao, he could feel someone looking at him from behind.

He had never thought deeply about it before.

But since Yaoyao brought it up, there’s no harm in checking.

"Okay." Xie Yao nodded, but felt a little embarrassed. "If I'm overthinking..."

"That's overthinking." Xiao Ji said, "Yaoyao, don't overthink it."

Xiao Ji's eyes were calm and peaceful, Xie Yao's heart was at ease, and the smile on her face became even wider.

Your Highness is so nice, I feel so safe.

At this moment, Si Nan's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he saw something, and then disappeared without a trace.

When he came back, his face looked extremely ugly.

"Your Highness."

He stood aside, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Xie Yao quickly realized that something big had happened and it was not convenient for her to know.

She glanced at Xiao Ji and said, "Your Highness, I'll go see Zhao Zhao and Sui Sui."

Xie Yao turned and left.

Xiao Ji looked at Si Nan and frowned slightly, "What's the matter?"

Si Nan approached Xiao Ji and said in a serious tone, "Your Highness, I just received a message from Si Bei."

"Miss Shanshan ran away."

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Xiao Ji's slightly narrowed eyes!

He actually let Shanshan escape?

"Your Highness, Shanshan is cunning and cruel. Sibei..." Sinan hesitated, but still wanted to plead for Sibei.

Xiao Ji glanced at Si Nan and revealed the truth, "He just couldn't bring himself to do it."

Si Nan didn't dare to say anything more and lowered his head silently.

Shanshan claimed that she had a way to save His Highness, and had received support from many doctors. Even for that glimmer of hope, Sibei would not really kill Shanshan.

So does he.

Xiao Ji knew it well, raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, feeling a bit of a headache.

He ordered in a cold voice, "Tell Sibei that if he can't find Shanshan, he doesn't have to come back."

After a pause, he added: "There won't be a next time."

He knew that Si Bei was thinking about him, but he didn't need anyone else to make decisions for him, and he didn't like his subordinates to be hypocritical!

Si Nan was overjoyed, "Thank you for your forgiveness, Your Highness!"

"Wait." Xiao Ji spoke again, and ordered in a serious voice, "Dispatch some personnel and strictly guard the Prince's Mansion.

Last time, Shanshan was ready to attack Xie Yao, and now that she has escaped... he naturally has to be on guard.

Si Nan did not dare to neglect, "Yes!"

Si Nan turned around to arrange these things.

Xiao Ji walked towards the Prince's Mansion, his brows slightly furrowed and his face looking a little heavy.

Xie Yao did not lie, she did go to coax the child.

But Zhaozhao and Suisui were tired from playing and fell asleep quickly, so when Xiao Ji came in, she saw them at a glance.

Seeing Xiao Ji's expression, Xie Yao's smile faded a little, and her eyes were filled with worry. "Your Highness? Is the matter serious?"

Xiao Ji dismissed everyone and said, "Shanshan has escaped."

Although he didn't want to make the Crown Princess worry, things had already happened and he had to make the Crown Princess be on guard.

Xie Yao: ???

She was stunned for a while before asking, "What's going on?"

He was fine when I saw him the day before yesterday.

Although Shanshan's murderous intentions were obvious at the time, she still asked Sinan and Sibei to keep silent because Shanshan vowed that she could cure His Highness.

"Yaoyao."

Xiao Ji looked at her with gentle and determined eyes, "I know everything."

He knew everything Yaoyao wanted to hide and didn't want him to know. He didn't want Yaoyao to give in and endure because of her.

"I don't want you to be wronged." Xiao Ji said, "Yaoyao, you don't have to be so sensible."

Xie Yao was stunned. At this moment, everything around her seemed to disappear into nothingness. She could only see the person in front of her.

Xiao Ji's eyes were warm and sincere, and he only regretted that he could not reveal his true heart to her.

"Your Highness."

Xie Yao reached out to embrace Xiao Ji, leaning against his chest. Listening to his thumping heartbeat, she lowered her eyes and said, "I'm not wronged."

She was willing to do it, and didn't feel wronged even if she had to endure it.

"But I think you have been wronged." Xiao Ji answered as a matter of course, his hand gently patting Xie Yao's back.

Xie Yao buried her head in Xiao Ji's chest, covering her warm eyes.

She just felt a sour feeling in her nose.

His Highness's preference...

After a while, Xie Yao suddenly reacted and looked up at Xiao Ji, "So, what did Your Highness do to Shan Shan?"

"Let Sibei send her back to Shu." Xiao Ji said, "But she escaped on the way."

Xie Yao understood Xiao Ji's concerns and nodded, "I'll be careful until I find her."

Xiao Ji breathed a sigh of relief, then said, "This is all my fault..."

"Your Highness, please stop saying these useless words." Xie Yao interrupted Xiao Ji, "Your Highness, what you need to do now is to protect Zhao Zhao Sui Sui and me."

Xiao Ji nodded repeatedly.

Si Nan mobilized manpower, and Xiao Ji personally arranged the defense. Xie Yao returned to the main house, and she felt a chill down her spine.

Shanshan...really wanted to kill her.

She naturally didn't want to die.

What's more important are Zhao Zhao and Sui Sui...

"Bamboo Green."

Xie Yao shouted to the outside world and ordered, "Shanshan is on the run. Have our people keep an eye on her everywhere. If you find her anywhere, don't get close to her and report it immediately."

"Also, this matter must not be leaked. Only tell the most trusted people."

Shanshan knew Xiao Ji's physical condition. If the commotion of searching for her was too loud and alarmed Xiao Ning...

It would be bad if Shanshan fell into the hands of Xiao Ning and others.

"Yes." Zhu Qing knew the seriousness of the matter, agreed and turned around to arrange the matter.

Today too.

The news of the Shu land dragon's resurgence has spread throughout the capital.

The speed was so fast, naturally the imperial court was fanning the flames. After all, the people were evacuated in advance and the casualties were not heavy.

And those who spread this news all praised Your Majesty’s wisdom and bravery!

People in the capital were talking about this matter.

A teahouse somewhere.

"The Shu land is on the verge of collapse. If Your Majesty had not made a decisive decision earlier, who knows how many people would have been killed or injured!"

"Yes, Your Majesty is a wise ruler! God bless Daxia!"

"The Third Prince even personally went to Shu to provide disaster relief. We are so lucky to have met such a wise ruler!"

"..."

Several people at one table listened to the praises around them and looked at each other, but their eyes were filled with a completely different kind of fierce and cold light...
