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

"If you have nothing else to say, Master Xuan, please leave first." Xiao Ji didn't want to say anything more to Master Xuan.

It may be true that Master Xuan loves his daughter, but it is also true that he has other plans.

But she had just expressed her love for her daughter in front of him, and immediately revealed her scheme... It really disgusted Xiao Ji.

Taifu Xuan was naturally unwilling to accept this, and his lips moved... but in the end he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue, lowered his head, and left the Yangxin Palace with a frustrated look on his face.

The prince refused to help...

As soon as he left the Yangxin Palace, the dejection on Grand Tutor Xuan's face instantly faded, but his dark complexion remained unsightly. He clenched his fists, his mind racing with thoughts.

No matter what, he would not let Yue'er marry the third prince!

Xiao Ji...

After seeing off Master Xuan, Xiao Ji continued to deal with his business, his expression calm and composed, as if nothing had happened.

However, Si Nan was feeling a little uneasy and his eyes couldn't help but drift towards Xiao Ji.

Not long after, Xiao Ji closed the memorial in his hand and looked at Si Nan, "Is there something wrong?"

"Did you see that?" Si Nan smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

Xiao Ji: ...He has eyes.

"Go ahead."

Si Nan, who had been making small moves just now, felt embarrassed after getting Xiao Ji's approval. He raised his hand and touched the back of his head, "If I say something... please don't think I'm too talkative..."

Xiao Ji frowned, waiting for Si Nan's next words.

Si Nan stammered, "It's just... I don't have any other intentions, I just want to ask you... about what happened today..."

"Forget it." Xiao Ji had no patience to listen any longer. As soon as he said this, Si Nan, who had been hesitant at first, suddenly became clear. "Your Highness, Your Highness, I just want to ask, are you not going to tell the Crown Princess about what happened today?"

Xiao Ji frowned and raised his eyes, his gaze clear and blank.

As if asking: Why do you say it?

Sinan: “…”Okay.

He put the thumb and index finger of his right hand together and moved them across his lips from left to right, pretending to close his mouth.

It's him who talks too much.

Si Nan kept his mouth shut, but his words still stirred up waves in Xiao Ji's heart.

Maybe... he really should have someone tell Xie Yao about this?

Xiao Ji's mind was occupied by such thoughts, and he was unable to handle government affairs seriously for a while. When he finally made up his mind, he felt that he should tell Xie Yao about this matter.

When I looked at the time... the palace gate was already locked.

Helpless, Xiao Ji had to give up.

He stood up and left the side hall, going to the main hall to see the emperor who was still in a coma. The imperial doctors stayed by the emperor's side for twelve hours.

Besides that, Concubine Shu was still guarding here. "Prince."

Xiao Ji nodded slightly, "Shufei, how is my father?"

"Although he is still in a coma, the imperial physician says his condition is stable, so there's no need to worry too much. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just recovered from a serious illness and still needs to attend to government affairs and take care of his own health. There's no need to worry too much about His Majesty's condition."

Concubine Shu spoke in a gentle voice, slowly and steadily, and Xiao Ji felt a little warm in his heart.

"Thank you for your concern, Concubine Shu. You still have to take care of Xiaowu and take care of your health." Xiao Ji was very polite.

Xiao Ji's eyes fell on the emperor lying on the sickbed.

The emperor's breathing was even but weak, and the unconscious man looked a little pale.

Xiao Ji always saw him as majestic, but at this moment, his quiet look seemed a bit fragile, which also made Xiao Ji realize that the emperor was no longer young.

Xiao Ji personally wiped the emperor's face and hands before leaving the Yangxin Palace.

He still lived in his old palace in the palace, which was not too far from the Yangxin Palace. The moonlight was clear and quiet, and he walked along the palace road. He always felt as if something was missing, and his heart was empty.

Until we entered the palace.

Looking at the furnishings that were arranged exactly according to Xie Yao's habits, Xiao Ji was stunned again.

It seemed that there were traces of Xie Yao everywhere in his life.

Si Nan was shocked. He had been following the prince all day and forgot to come and take a look at the palace in advance.

At this moment, he was worried that the situation in the palace would irritate Xiao Ji, so he hurriedly said, "Your Highness, Your Highness, please wait outside for a moment. I will take care of all this right away..."

"No need." Xiao Ji interrupted Si Nan and stepped into the inner room. "This is fine."

Really...?

Si Nan didn't say anything, but there was suspicion in his eyes.

After thinking for a moment, Si Nan poked his head in and said to Xiao Ji, "Your Highness, I am outside. If you feel unwell, please call me immediately."

After saying that, Si Nan closed the door.

Candles were lit in the house.

Xiao Ji stood alone in the room, looking at the furnishings inside one by one, his expression a little complicated.

The main house of the Prince's Mansion was decorated in a similar manner, but because Xie Yao lived there permanently, he was embarrassed to take a closer look.

Looking at this house now, he felt that everything was familiar, but if he really asked him to explain, he couldn't tell what was wrong.

However... the dull pain in my heart seemed to be a little heavier than before.

"Your Highness." At this moment, Si Nan raised his hand and knocked on the door. "The water is ready."

Si Nan prepared some water and clean clothes for Xiao Ji. Xiao Ji looked at the prepared clothes and frowned slightly, "Change into something."

Sinan: “???” His Highness is not a picky person.

Although he was very surprised, Sinan still went to change into another one.

Xiao Ji was silent for a moment, then turned around to look at the clothes himself. After looking through all the clothes, Xiao Ji frowned and asked Si Nan, "Am I missing two pieces of clothes?"

Si Nan's eyes dodged, "Yes, is that so?"

Xiao Ji originally only had vague suspicions and feelings, but now he was certain of it and even guessed something.

I'm afraid it's related to Xie Yao, which is why Si Nan is so secretive.

"Go."

Xiao Ji knew that Si Nan was doing this for his own good, so he didn't make things difficult for him. He took a bath in silence and changed into new clothes.

But as he lay in bed, he felt something was wrong.

Finally, he called out, "Sinan, go to the Prince's Mansion tomorrow and bring back those two clothes that I have."
