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

Xie Yao and Xiao Ji were originally preparing to rest after discussing business.

Si Nan's voice rang out from outside, "Your Highness, Crown Princess."

"Master Li is here."

Xiao Ji raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. He had been really busy this night.

"Let him go to the study." Xiao Ji gave the order, then thought of something and changed his words, "Bring him here."

Soon, a tall figure in a black veil followed Si Nan into the main room.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, and to the Crown Princess." Li Shuo did not dare to look any longer, and immediately bowed, keeping his eyes down.

"Master Li," Xiao Ji said, "Why are you here leaking fluid?"

Li Shuo lifted his clothes and knelt on the ground. "I heard that His Majesty has ordered that the Imperial Master be beheaded tomorrow."

He was anxious for a whole day and finally came to the Prince's Mansion late at night.

Li Shuo then raised his eyes to look at Xiao Ji, his slightly red eyes full of earnestness, "Your Highness, the Imperial Preceptor...cannot be killed!"

Xiao Ji looked at Li Shuo, "Lord Li, you should know that this is His Majesty's intention."

Li Shuo choked, he naturally knew.

But he also knew that the culprit who killed so many people in Lingxiang Village was definitely not just the National Master.

Especially after knowing that Concubine Li was also from Lingxiang Village.

The two looked at each other.

Li Shuo's lips gradually pursed, and his hands hanging at both sides clenched... Did he make a wrong bet this time?

Li Shuo lowered his head slowly.

When Xie Yao was wondering why His Highness wanted to meet Li Shuo and leave her here as well, she saw Xiao Ji looking at her.

There was a gentle smile on the corner of his lips, and his eyes were clearly indicating something...

The two of them had a good rapport.

Xie Yao immediately understood what Xiao Ji meant...

She was silent for a moment, then said, "Master Li, I have something I need you to do. It might help you get what you want, but it will be very dangerous..."

"I am willing!" Li Shuo said in a resounding voice. He had a weak temperament, but his eyes were extremely determined.

Finished talking about the business.

Si Nan was ordered to send Li Shuo back to his residence.

Xie Yao looked at Xiao Ji, feeling mixed emotions. This scene had been part of her plan, but now it was actually happening...

But it made her feel like she was dreaming.

Xiao Ji's move was to pave the way for her.

"Your Highness..."

As soon as she spoke, Xiao Ji held her hand and praised her, "Yaoyao did a great job."

The next day.

It was the day when the imperial teacher was beheaded.

Crown Prince Xiao Ji personally supervised the execution.

Xiao Ning was under house arrest, so naturally she couldn't come. Concubine Li was in the deep palace and had to avoid suspicion because of the last incident.

Of course, I couldn't go to the execution ground and see it in person.

But to be on the safe side, Xiao Ning made other arrangements.

After noon, even Xiao Ning was a little nervous. The Imperial Master should have died by this time...

"your Highness."

At this moment, a man hurried in from outside and slid down to his knees very smoothly. "I have failed to do my job well. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Xiao Ning's eyes narrowed, and he immediately asked, "What do you mean?"

The young man knelt down and whispered with his head lowered, "Someone got there first and took away the Imperial Master's body."

"Xiao Ji?" A murderous look flashed in Xiao Ning's eyes.

"It's Li Shuo," the man replied quickly. "Li Shuo submitted a memorial today, requesting to take a leave of absence from his high school second place finish. He said he wanted to return to his hometown to pay respects to his ancestors."

"At three o'clock in the afternoon, as soon as the beheading took place... Li Shuo had the Imperial Master's head taken away..."

Obviously, the national teacher's head is used for ancestor worship.

"Useless!" Xiao Ning kicked the man. "You can't even handle such a small matter!"

The man fell down without complaint, even looking honored. "I am a waste, Your Highness, please punish me."

Xiao Ning withdrew her gaze from the man.

Li Shuo...

She remembered this person.

The runner-up in this year's imperial examination, who was born into a commoner family, not only rejected her olive branch, but even became a disciple of Xiao Ji.

A cold light flashed in her eyes. "Since he wants to die, then let him do it."

"This trip back home is long and steep, and if we unfortunately encounter bandits along the way... that's normal."

The man understood and immediately bowed, saying, "I understand, Your Highness, please rest assured."

"Humph."

Xiao Ning snorted lightly, "If you can't do this well again, you don't have to come back."

"roll!"

"I'll take my leave." The man fell to the ground and rolled out the door...

Xiao Ning was silent for a moment, then shouted again, "Someone come."

Someone immediately came in, "Your Highness."

"Ask someone to keep an eye on the Prince's Mansion." She suspected that the person who was beheaded today... was not the Imperial Master.

There are a large number of people involved in Lingxiang Village, but it is an old case after all, and the national teacher has been beheaded.

The people in the capital quickly shifted the topic to other things.

Such as today.

Some people say that the reason why the third prince was able to achieve great achievements in Shu was because it was the crown prince who had previously planned these things.

The person who should really be praised is the prince.

There were also quite a few students among these people, and they formed two factions with those students who praised the third prince, and seemed to be in opposition.

However, Xie Yao had already made arrangements for this development.

So soon someone revealed: The prince will not live long!

When these words were spoken, the people were filled with regret.

The news was so confusing that it seemed like anyone could get involved. Xie Yao didn't pay too much attention to these things.

"Crown Princess." Zhu Qing walked in and whispered, "Sinan said there are a lot more people stalking around the Crown Prince's Mansion."

"Don't pay attention to it." Xie Yao didn't think Xiao Ning was a fool.

Today, Li Shuo took the Imperial Master's body away. Although his reasons were justified, Xiao Ning would definitely be suspicious because she had not personally confirmed that it was the Imperial Master who died.

"Has everything been arranged on Lord Li's side?" Li Shuo was carrying such a powerful weapon, so naturally he had to arrange people to protect him secretly.

"Sinan said that Sixi will bring people to protect us secretly, so please rest assured, Princess." Xie Yao nodded again.

I've been a bit busy lately, Dongnanbei and even Sixi has been arranged.

"Crown Princess." Yuyan's voice came from outside, "Madam Xie is here with Madam Song."

Zhang brought Xie Yujiao with her?

Xie Yao frowned, displeasure flashing in her eyes, "Let them in."

Considering their current "cooperation", she doesn't mind meeting Zhang.

main hall.

When Xie Yao came out, Zhang hurriedly pulled Xie Yujiao up and said, "Greetings to the Crown Princess..."

"elder sister!"

A crisp and dependent voice interrupted Zhang's greeting. It was Xie Yujiao who rushed towards Xie Yao, her eyes bright and energetic. "Sister, you haven't come to see Jiaojiao for a long time!"
