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

Prince's Mansion.

It was not until after dinner that Xie Yao and Xiao Ji sent all the guests from the Prince's Mansion away.

Pei Chen personally sent Princess Yongle back, while Wei Chan and Zhao Ying stayed in the Prince's Mansion.

Xie Yao was quite tired today. She sat lazily on the armchair. Xiao Ji stood behind her and gently massaged her shoulders.

This scene made Zhao Ying and Wei Chan look at each other in silence.

"Your Highness."

Xie Yao blushed slightly and held Xiao Ji's hand, "You sit down too."

Xiao Ji held her hand in return and said gently, "You've worked hard today, Crown Princess."

Xie Yao shook her head.

Everything went according to her plan, and it wasn't hard...at all.

They had just sat there for a while when Pei Chen and Si Bei came back together.

Si Bei knelt on the ground, head bowed, "I have failed to perform my duties properly. Your Highness, the Crown Princess, please punish me."

"When I rushed to the Xie family's house, it was already deserted. However, I did find traces of her remaining in the empty courtyard."

Si Bei pulled out a piece of paper from his sleeve and presented it to Xiao Ji with both hands, "I asked the court doctor to check it, and there is no problem with this paper."

Shan Shan Shan is a poisonous being, and her whole body is full of poison. Naturally, the things she left behind cannot be touched casually.

Xiao Ji took the paper.

There were five ferociously written words on it that looked like a dog crawling: This is just the beginning.

Xiao Ji's brows were filled with anger, and he regretted his carelessness last time again.

With such a person hiding behind the scenes and waiting for an opportunity to attack the Crown Princess...how can he sleep peacefully?

Xie Yao was sitting next to Xiao Ji, so she naturally saw the contents of the paper. She was more calm and said, "Your Highness, don't worry too much. There is good news."

Xiao Ji looked at her sideways.

"At least judging from the Mother-Child Gu today, she won't take my life right away."

He wanted to take control of her life and use it as a bargaining chip.

"Yaoyao." Xiao Ji's voice sounded quite helpless. How could this be considered good news?

Xie Yao pursed her lips and smiled. "When the enemy comes, we will fight him; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. I stay in the mansion most of the time, so Your Highness doesn't need to worry too much."

Zhao Ying frowned, "Yaoyao, who is this person? If he is so powerful, why did he suddenly..."

"Cousin." Xiao Ji's voice rang out, "You and the Marquis of Zhenbei have traveled a long way and must have worked hard. Go back and rest first."

Zhao Ying frowned, but Pei Chen immediately stood up and said, "Thank you for your consideration, Your Highness."

He immediately looked at Zhao Ying after he finished speaking, his eyes lit up, full of expectation, "Yingying, I'll take you home."

"But..." Zhao Ying hadn't asked any questions yet when she was pulled away by Pei Chen.

Wei Chan fell half a step behind, looked at Xiao Ji and Xie Yao, and said goodbye.

As soon as she went out, she saw Zhao Ying and Pei Chen still arguing.

Zhao Ying's expression was serious. "Marquis Zhenbei, I haven't asked clearly yet..."

"Yingying, you called me Brother Chen last time..." Before Pei Chen could finish his words, Zhao Ying covered his mouth. "I told you, I had to do that to conceal my identity!"

"If you bring this up again, I'll get really angry!"

Pei Chen surrendered immediately, "Okay, okay, I won't mention it, I won't mention it."

After a pause, he couldn't help but move closer to Zhao Ying, "Yingying, when will you call me Chen again..."

"Pei Chen!" Zhao Ying glared at Pei Chen.

She had always thought Pei Chen was thick-skinned, but now it seems that she had underestimated him.

Pei Chen is simply, simply...

Zhao Ying looked at Pei Chen angrily. She was not short, but she was obviously not enough in front of the extremely tall Pei Chen.

I could only look up at him slightly.

Pei Chen looked down at the slender, angry little girl in front of him and thought she was adorable.

He looked around to make sure there was no one around, and couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her on the lips...

Zhao Ying exploded again!

With a red face, she shouted Pei Chen's name angrily, and there was a smile of success in Pei Chen's eyes.

But after all this commotion, Zhao Ying forgot to continue asking about the identity of the person who could cast the Gu.

With a stern face, he walked towards the gate of the Prince's Mansion.

Pei Chen immediately chased after her and said, "Yingying, don't be angry. It was my fault and I was impulsive. Why don't you come back..."

"Yingying, the Crown Princess made clothes and sachets for His Highness last time... I don't want you to make them, so can you buy one for me?"

"..."

Wei Chan turned around and left through another path.

The prince interrupted Zhao Ying's question just now, obviously not wanting to tell them about this matter.

Zhao Ying was very good at doing business and was also good at observing people's words and expressions. It was impossible for him not to understand what the prince meant.

It's just because I was too concerned that I lost my sense of proportion.

But Pei Chen understood.

So he took Zhao Ying away directly and diverted Zhao Ying's attention with jokes.

After Zhao Ying returned and calmed down, he understood what the prince meant.

only……

Wei Chan also couldn't understand why His Highness would conceal the information about someone who wanted to murder the Crown Princess.

What's wrong with that person?

……

Prince's Mansion.

Everyone left, and only Xie Yao and Xiao Ji were left in the room.

Xiao Ji reached out and pulled Xie Yao into his arms, pressing his hand on her shoulder, "Yaoyao, is it okay now?"

Xie Yao glared at Xiao Ji, moved her body slightly, and found a more comfortable position.

She turned sideways to Xiao Ji, hooked her arms around his neck, and leaned softly against him, "Your Highness."

"Ok?"

Xie Yao rested her head on his shoulder and said lazily, "I just want to call you Your Highness."

Xiao Ji picked her up by the waist and said, "Then I'd like to hear another name..."

"For example?" Xie Yao raised her neck, her eyes and eyebrows showing a smile.

Xiao Ji lowered his head and kissed her red lips, murmuring, "For example, what Yaoyao shouted last night..."

The night is dark.

Xiao Ji opened his eyes and found Xie Yao in his arms already fast asleep. He gently pulled his hand out from under Xie Yao's neck, got up from the bed, and put on his outer clothes.

As soon as he stood still under the eaves of the main house, he said, "Come out."

Si Nan and Si Bei immediately appeared in the courtyard and said in unison, "Your Highness."

Xiao Ji's eyes fell on Si Bei, and he said without a doubt: "If you find any trace of Shan Shan."

"No need to come back and report, I will kill you without mercy."

Si Bei knelt on the ground and did not answer immediately. Although he really did not find any trace of Shan Shan this time, but...

He even felt a little relieved.

If he found out, could he really do it?

This concerns His Highness's life. It's just about marrying a woman. Why...

Si Bei said nothing, but his silence seemed to explain everything.

Xiao Ji was silent for a moment, then said, "For me, some things... are more important than life."

Shanshan is definitely not a good person. If he compromises in the first step, there will be a second and third step...

Like the Emperor...

He once promised that he would only love his mother in this life.

One more person means one more uncontrollable factor. He can control himself, but he cannot accept putting Xie Yao in danger.

Xie Yao was the light in his dark life, and he didn't want to get to the point where they were tired of each other.

"Sibei." Xiao Ji said, "You are one of the people I personally trained and trust the most."

"Don't let me down again."

Xiao Ji's words were already a bit harsh. After he finished speaking, he turned and walked into the main house.

Si Nan and Si Bei stood in the yard for a long time, looking at each other in silence.

After a long while, Si Nan's somewhat decadent voice finally came to mind, "You know His Highness's temper, just do as His Highness tells you..."

Just as he turned around, he suddenly heard a voice behind him. They both turned around and saw a green figure standing at the gate...
