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

When Xie Yao heard the rumors outside, the rumor in the entire capital had already tied the emperor and the third prince together.

The emperor was kind, and the third prince deployed defenses early and acted appropriately, effectively reducing casualties in Shu.

In his words, he actually put all the hard work that Xiao Ji had endured over the past month on the head of the third prince Xiao An.

As for Pei Chen who also went to Shu?

It is also deliberately ignored.

Zhu Qing whispered back, "The Crown Princess is wise. Most of those who praise the Third Prince are scholars."

Xie Yao understood.

I'm afraid this matter is related to Master Xuan.

Although the Xuan family is not as good as Mr. Qingshan's Cui family, they are also a role model for scholars all over the world and have many students.

Moreover, the Cui family came from an aristocratic family, and since the time of the previous emperor, they have not valued aristocratic families as much as before, and Mr. Qingshan is indifferent to fame and fortune.

Naturally, he is not as good as the Xuan family in dancing with their sleeves.

"Let them be." Xie Yao understood that the Xuan family was building momentum for the third prince.

Although she would not give in, there was no need for her to stand out and become a target before there was a definite answer to the Crown Prince's condition.

As soon as Xiao An came forward, some people couldn't hold back.

"Keep an eye on the rumors outside. If anyone spreads rumors about His Highness's achievements in this matter, our people will say..."

Before Xie Yao finished speaking, Xiao Ji came in from outside and said, "Just say that I will not live long."

"Your Highness." Xie Yao stood up and frowned slightly.

She was also thinking in this direction, but she didn't want to say it so directly and harshly.

Xiao Ji asked Xie Yao to calm down, "Many people already know about this matter, so it won't be a big deal even if it gets out."

"I just wronged Your Highness."

Xiao Ji smiled, "That's the truth."

It was a fate he had already accepted.

Xie Yao felt even more distressed when she heard this, "Your Highness..."

Xiao Ji gave Xie Yao a soothing look before instructing Zhu Qing, "Go and make the arrangements. Si Nan will coordinate with you on this matter."

Zhuqing just left.

Xiao Ji took out a letter from his sleeve and said, "This is my cousin's reply."

"So fast?" It was only two days. Xie Yao was a little surprised. After all, the eldest son of the Wei family was not in the capital.

Xiao Ji nodded, "It's a Saker Falcon."

Xie Yao's eyes were full of admiration, "How amazing! Is this the eagle trained by the eldest son of the Wei family?"

Xiao Ji was silent for a moment, then said, "It's not difficult."

"If I'm at the border, I can do it too."

Xie Yao raised her eyebrows and immediately said, "Your Highness is also very impressive."

Xiao Ji: "..."

He should get down to business.

He hadn't read the letter yet, but now he opened it in front of Xie Yao. Xie Yao took a look and saw that it contained only some ordinary greetings.

Xie Yao couldn't see any mystery at all.

But Xiao Ji said, "My cousin said that the Wei family doesn't have a girl of Concubine Shu's age, and Concubine Shu wasn't arranged by the Wei family..."

As he spoke, Xiao Ji's face darkened and his brows furrowed.

He said in a deep voice, "My cousin said... things have been a bit uneasy in the Northern Frontier lately."

Huyan Yuan is the third prince of Northern Frontier. He was taken hostage to Daxia twenty years ago. Now he is married to Xiao Ning and is still planning to return to his country.

Xie Yao's heart tightened, "Are we going to fight again?"

Xiao Ji shook his head, "Northern Frontier's wolfish ambitions are only a matter of time."

Xie Yao sighed softly, but she also knew that this was definitely not something she could control, so she could only say optimistically: "With the Marquis of Zhenbei and General Wei, we are not afraid."

Xiao Ji hummed, "Yaoyao is right."

Suddenly, Xiao Ji's face turned very ugly. He just suddenly thought of something.

If it is really as he predicted at this moment, then...

That night.

Xiao Ji changed into night clothes and left the Prince's Mansion with Si Nan.

Go straight to the Second Prince's Mansion.

Although Xiao Hong did not have the title of Second Prince, he was still the Second Prince in reality, and the entire Second Prince's Mansion was brightly lit.

When Xiao Ji arrived, Xiao Hong was playing a blindfolded game with several beautiful maids. The scene was disgusting!

Seeing this, Xiao Ji sneered.

He still came too early.

Xiao Ji gave Si Nan a look, and Si Nan understood and threw a piece of incense into the incense burner in the room.

Soon, the dancers who were laughing and making noises fell down one after another.

"Who?"

Xiao Hong pulled off his blindfold, his face was pale and his steps were unsteady. It was obvious that he had been drained by beauty.

At this moment, his cloudy eyes glanced around cautiously, "Who is it? Come out!"

"I'm the Second Prince! Who is so blind?!"

Xiao Hong's voice was weak. As he spoke, he walked towards the door, obviously wanting to ask for help from the Jinwu Guards.

But before he could leave the house, he was stopped.

Si Nan wore a tight mask, with a long sword unsheathed in his hand, reflecting the cold light in the room. His slightly lowered voice was hoarse and full of murderous intent.

"Second Prince, you can try and see which is faster, the one who saved you or my sword."

boom.

Xiao Hong's knees softened and he fell to the ground. He subconsciously raised his hands and looked at Si Nan tremblingly, "Don't, don't kill me."

waste!

A hint of contempt flashed in Sinan's eyes.

"As long as you answer a few questions, I won't kill you." Si Nan spoke according to Xiao Ji's advance instructions.

"What do you want to ask?" Xiao Hong's voice subconsciously rose, but he was cursing in his heart.

Where are his secret guards?

Why haven't his secret guards arrived yet?

Waiting for his secret guards to arrive...

"boom."

Hearing the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, Xiao Hong subconsciously looked over and almost screamed the next second.

It was his secret guard who fell to the ground.

At this moment, I don’t know whether he has fainted or is dead.

Xiao Hong no longer dared to hope for the best, "I'll tell you everything."

……

It was late at night when Xiao Ji returned to the Prince's Mansion, and his face was not looking good.

Xie Yao hasn't slept yet.

"Yaoyao?"

Xiao Ji's eyes softened, and he asked gently, "Why haven't you rested yet?"

"I was about to go to bed, but I received an urgent letter from Shu." Xie Yao gestured to Xiao Ji to look at the letter on the table, "so I thought of waiting for His Highness."

"What happened?" Xiao Ji's voice was slightly deep.

The thing that could make Xie Yao wait for him so solemnly... must be no small matter.

"Your Highness, what was the result today?" Xie Yao asked instead of answering.

With just this one sentence, Xiao Ji knew that Xie Yao had guessed his prediction.

He said in a serious tone, "Based on Xiao Hong's recollection, it is almost certain that the man in black who approached him during the Nanzhou flood was none other than Hu Yanyuan."

"That's also in the letter," Xie Yao said. "The Marquis of Zhenbei sent a letter saying they've found out about the spread of the epidemic, and it might be related to Hu Yanyuan."

Hu Yanyuan.

A hostage from the northern border, he grew up in the capital, under everyone's eyes.

He seems carefree, dandy and lustful, but in fact he is stirring up trouble behind the scenes!

Ever since Hu Yanyuan took advantage of Xiao Ning's plot against Pei Chen last time and took advantage of the situation, Xie Yao knew that this person was probably not a simple person.

But unfortunately, after such a long time, no evidence was found against Hu Yanyuan.

Even this letter and the interrogation of Xiao Hong were just suspicions and guesses, without any substantial evidence.

Xiao Ji said, "I'll have someone keep an eye on him."

"I'm afraid his purpose... is more than that."

……

In the same night.

Somewhere in the capital, accompanied by a rustling sound, a figure slowly walked out in the night.

The moonlight shone on her, making her indigo dress appear black. Only the silver ornaments hanging on her clothes gleamed faintly and jingled as she walked.

She walked along the deserted streets and finally stopped in front of a house.

She raised her eyes and looked at the house in front of her, staring at it for a long time, with a dangerous curve at the corner of her lips.

There was murderous intent in his eyes.

Beijing...

She has come back!

She looked for a long time before moving her feet and turning to walk into the deep alley next to her...
