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

Chapter 281 Your Highness, will you stay overnight tonight?

After asking this question, Xiao Ji himself was stunned for a moment.

These were state affairs, and he shouldn't have asked Xie Yao, a woman, for her opinion, but... his body was more honest than his brain.

And his previous suspicions seemed to be confirmed again at this moment.

In the past, he had high hopes for Xie Yao.

Even took the initiative to teach some things.

Xie Yao didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and nodded immediately, "I heard about it."

"Xiao Ning can't wait any longer." Obviously, the first piece of news must be related to Xiao Ning.

The purpose was to put pressure on Xiao Ji and make him agree to Beijiang's conditions as soon as possible.

Xiao Ji nodded in agreement, "The second piece of news is about Xiao An."

Speaking of Xiao An...

Xie Yao said, "Miss Xuan came to the Prince's Mansion today and told me something."

Xie Yao told Xiao Ji that Xiao An asked Xuan Yue to build a good relationship with Zhao Zhao Suisui, especially Zhao Zhao.

Xiao Ji immediately understood Xiao An's plan and sneered, "He's got a good plan!"

I didn't learn the good things, but I learned these methods 100%.

Even if Xiao An lost his life, Xiao Ji would not simply think that if he helped Xiao An, Xiao An would treat his children well.

Xiao An cannot have children, but there are many people in the royal family who can give birth, and Zhao Zhao and Xiao An are too close in age. When Zhao Zhao grows up, Xiao An will be in his prime.

Even they, the emperor's biological children, were treated like chess pieces by the emperor. They were used when needed and thrown aside when not needed, not to mention that Zhao Zhao was only Xiao An's nephew.

Of course, he couldn't put his own son's life in the hands of others.

It is obvious that even when he was running out of time, he did not place his hopes on Xiao An, not to mention that he has recovered now.

He can take care of his own children.

After a pause, Xiao Ji asked, "Miss Xuan, what do you want by mentioning this?"

Xuan Yue, in his memory, was an extremely intelligent girl who had been cherished and pampered by Grand Tutor Xuan since she was a child.

Xie Yao shook her head. "Miss Xuan didn't say it, but I guess... she said this for Master Xuan."

Taifu Xuan and the Third Prince are in the same boat, but it is obvious that Xuan Yue does not think highly of the Third Prince.

So taking the initiative to say such words to her means to surrender and show goodwill.

Xuan Taifu...

Thinking of this person, a hint of displeasure flashed in Xiao Ji's eyes.

He changed his arm to hold Sui Sui and said, "Crown Princess, please stay away from Miss Xuan."

It's not a decision, just a suggestion.

Taifu Xuan was a man of deep thoughts, and the words he said to him last time were still fresh in his mind. He was afraid that Xuan Yue and Taifu Xuan were in cahoots, and that his own Crown Princess was being plotted against.

Xie Yao heard the concern in Xiao Ji's words, and her heart warmed. She said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I know what's going on."

Xiao Ji hummed and said nothing more.

Xie Yao is a smart person and should know what can be done and what cannot be done. Seeing her speak so confidently, Xiao Ji felt less worried.

The two chatted for a few more words. Xiao Ji felt that the noisy little guy in his arms had quieted down. He immediately lowered his eyes and glanced at him, his brows softening. "Sui Sui has fallen asleep."

Not just every year.

When Suisui fell asleep, Zhaozhao also fell asleep.

The two put the child down, told the wet nurse to take good care of him, and then left the child's room.

The night is dark.

The two stopped in the yard outside the house. The atmosphere was a bit awkward and neither of them spoke first.

After a while, Xie Yao raised her eyes to look at Xiao Ji, "Your Highness, are you staying overnight?"

Xiao Ji: "..."

His throat rolled a little, and he was in a trance for a moment, but the pain in his heart made him wake up instantly.

He quickly gathered himself and said, "...I'm sorry."

"There are still many things waiting for me to deal with in the palace, so..." He couldn't stay overnight.

This answer was completely within Xie Yao's expectations.

Xie Yao nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I'll take you there, Your Highness."

Xie Yao didn't accompany him too far. After watching the carriage that took Xiao Ji back to the palace disappear from her sight, she turned around and went back to the Prince's Mansion.

"Crown Princess." Zhu Qing followed Xie Yao and whispered, "Don't worry, Crown Princess. I've received news that His Highness has been in the palace these past few days and there haven't been any other women around him..."

Zhu Qing's voice lowered under Xie Yao's gaze, and he lowered his head, feeling a little guilty.

Xie Yao frowned and asked, "Who gave you the news?"

"It's someone from our palace." Zhu Qing said, "I didn't ask, and I don't know why she suddenly brought up this matter..."

"Check this person again." Xie Yao ordered.

She naturally believed in Xiao Ji. Even if Xiao Ji no longer remembered her, his soul and body still had the instinct to love her.

In addition, Xiao Ji is a person with poor self-control ability. He has been busy recently, and the emperor has fainted again... Xiao Ji has no time or energy to think about other things.

But this superfluous news that reached her ears seemed to be deliberately trying to reassure her?

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon.

"Yes." Zhu Qing immediately agreed and turned around to investigate the matter.

Xie Yao turned around and went back to the Prince's Mansion. She took another look at Zhao Zhao and Sui Sui who were sleeping soundly, and then returned to the main house.

No one disturbed Xie Yao, but Xie Yao stood in the main room for a while, feeling an indescribable loneliness.

In the past, there was always someone by her side at this time.

But today, when she personally sent Xiao Ji away from the Prince's Mansion, she suddenly felt that... His Highness was no longer the same His Highness as before.

at this time.

Suddenly, a clear voice came from outside, "Xie Yao, Xie Yao, are you there? Xie Yao!"

Xie Yao's originally depressed mood was instantly blown away. She naturally recognized that it was Shanshan's voice.

Before she could say anything, Shanshan's voice had already reached the door, "Sibei, get out of the way! I'm looking for Xie Yao!"

"Miss Shanshan..." Si Bei's voice was filled with embarrassment.

"Get out of the way!" Shanshan's voice was a little arrogant, and she rushed towards Sibei.

Seeing this, Si Bei could only move aside, after all, there are differences between men and women.

"It's okay." Xie Yao's voice sounded. Shanshan snorted lightly, pushed Si Bei away, and quickly walked to Xie Yao's side.

"Xie Yao, I heard you were doing something big? Why didn't you tell me? I can help you!"

Xie Yao was silent for a while before asking, "What's the big deal?"

Shan Shan folded her arms across her chest, looking Xie Yao up and down with a serious expression, a hint of suspicion in her eyes, "Are you hiding something from me?"

Xie Yao: “No.”

"Isn't that what you are talking about..." Xie Yao dragged out the last syllable, waiting for Shanshan to continue.

"Yes!" Shanshan nodded, "It's about redoing Miss Lin's face!"

Xie Yao breathed a sigh of relief, and before Shan Shan could react, she asked her, "Can you help?"

Shanshan patted her chest and said, "Of course! And I'm faster than the old man~"

"How is it? Xie Yao, do you want me to help you?"

Although Shanshan was asking Xie Yao, her eyes and expression said "choose her quickly".

Xie Yao did not let her down and nodded immediately, saying, "In that case, I'll trouble you, Shanshan, with this matter."

Shanshan grinned and said, "Leave it to me, don't worry!"

Shan Shan turned around to leave, but as soon as she turned around, she seemed to react and looked at Xie Yao again, "You really didn't lie to me, right?"

She always felt like something was wrong.

Xie Yao immediately shook her head and looked at Shanshan's sincere face, "Really not. I'm sorry to bother you with Miss Lin's matter, Shanshan. When can she be cured?"

Shanshan's attention was immediately diverted, "Just these two days, just wait, I'll go now!"

……

Heaven Prison.

Xiao Ning was furious. "What? There are rumors that I'm a traitor?!"

Although... the matter is indeed related to her, isn't the word "traitor" too harsh?

What do those people know? She did this for the Xia Kingdom, for the court, and for the people!

What a short-sighted bunch!

"Yes." The jailer lowered his head and answered in a very low voice, fearing that he would be angered. "I have checked and these rumors were probably spread by the Third Prince."

"Idiot!" Xiao Ning kicked the door of the sky prison, and her toes hit the wood. The pain made her expression grim and her face twisted for a moment.

"What does this have to do with him? How dare he interfere? I think he still hasn't learned enough from last time!"

Xiao Ning's voice was gloomy and his eyes were sinister.

When the jailer heard this, he lowered his head even more, and even felt a chill between his legs. He subconsciously clamped his legs together.

Xiao Ning said coldly, "Since he doesn't remember the beating, I will help him once more..."

Xiao An, dare to ruin her good things... just wait for her!

……

Xiao Ji left the Prince's Mansion and remained silent on the way back to the palace.

at this time.

Si Nan poked his head in from outside the carriage and whispered, "Your Highness, I just received news that there's movement in the Sky Prison. The people there have quietly sent a message to the people in the Third Prince's Mansion."

Si Nan's eyes turned cold, "Those people wanted to lure the people from the Third Prince's Mansion. The one who attacked the Third Prince a while ago... was His Highness."

What Si Nan was talking about a few days ago was none other than Xiao An being attacked.

"I have already stopped them." Si Nan said, "What to do next, Your Highness, please give your instructions."

Xiao Ji's eyes flickered, and he said, "Tell Xiao An that the person who attacked him was Xiao Ning."

Compared to Xiao Ning's nonsense, although his words had no concrete evidence, they were almost right.

"Yes."

Si Nan grinned, as if he had thought of something interesting, and immediately agreed, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely handle this matter properly."

Xiao Ji and Xiao Ning just gave a casual order, but when Xiao An heard the news, he was furious!

"Bitch, bitch bitch bitch! Xiao Ning, you damn bitch!" Xiao An was so angry that he threw everything on the ground, his scarlet eyes full of murderous intent.

The imperial court has been investigating this matter for some time, and Xiao An himself is also investigating it. Today's news was brought by his subordinates.

He originally suspected these people, but Xiao Ji's time was running out, and Xiao Hong was under house arrest...

He didn't expect that the person who attacked him was Xiao Ning, but after being angry, he felt... it should be Xiao Ning.

When Taifu Xuan received the news and hurried to the Third Prince's Mansion, Xiao An was still angry and smashing things.

The study was in a mess inside and out, and the servants didn't dare to get close.

Master Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and he stepped forward with a heavy heart, "Your Highness."

The third prince raised the thing in his hand and was about to throw it towards the person, but when he saw that it was Master Xuan, he paused his hand in the air and threw the bottle in the other direction.

"Master."

The Third Prince's expression was extremely grim, and he gritted his teeth as he spoke, "Grandmaster, did you come here after hearing about this?"

When mentioning this matter, the Third Prince was not only angry but also a little embarrassed.

After all, what we are discussing now is the fact that he has lost his life.

Grand Tutor Xuan nodded slightly with a serious expression, "I have heard about this, Your Highness, please calm down."

"Hmph." The third prince sneered.

Calm down?

The anger in his heart was like a raging fire, and he wished he could burn Xiao Ning to ashes.

He gritted his teeth and said word by word, "I want that bitch dead!"

This time, he had investigated thoroughly. Xiao Ning had not only harmed him, but also wanted to frame Xiao Ji and have him deal with him, while Xiao Ning would reap the benefits...

What a beautiful thought!

Taifu Xuan was frightened by the anger burning in the eyes of the Third Prince. He swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and stood quietly aside.

"Pass the order down," the Third Prince ordered. "Fabricate some evidence of Xiao Ning's treason and spread it. I want everyone to know... Xiao Ning is a traitor!"

He just didn't believe that Xiao Ji would dare to release Xiao Ning after such news spread.

"Yes." Although Master Xuan was a little confused, he didn't dare to say much and agreed honestly.

After a pause, Taifu Xuan said before leaving: "Your Highness, no matter what, I will be with you."

After saying this, Master Xuan bowed and turned to leave.

After Grand Tutor Xuan finished speaking, the Third Prince was a little slow to react. He stood there for a long time before his eyes flickered and he lowered them.

"Someone is coming."

He shouted to the outside, and immediately a steward came hurriedly, "Your Highness."

"Change my clothes for me, I want to go into the palace!" He had suffered such a great injustice, and now he knew who the murderer was, so naturally he had to go into the palace to ask the prince to make the decision for him!

Xiao Ning, ah Xiao Ning, just wait for him!

It was already dark, but Xiao An did not stop at all. He took a carriage straight to the palace gate.

The palace gates were already locked, but Xiao An was unwilling to leave. He stood outside the gates and said loudly, "I have an urgent matter to discuss with my brother, the Crown Prince!"

The gatekeeper was suddenly embarrassed. "Third Prince, the palace gates are locked. At this hour..."

"Send the message immediately!" The Third Prince interrupted the soldiers. "If you delay my important mission, even if you have ten heads, they won't be enough to chop off!"

The Third Prince's face looked ugly and his voice was terribly cold. The soldiers did not dare to ignore him for a moment.

"Go quickly!" The third prince shouted again, and immediately a soldier answered yes, then quickly turned around to report to the prince.

Xiao Ji hasn't slept yet.

He guessed that Xiao An would come, so he was not surprised to hear the soldier's words. His expression was calm and his voice was cold as he ordered, "Pass it on."

Xiao An came very quickly.

Although his wounds had not yet healed completely, and if he walked too fast or moved too much, it would affect the wounds, but at the moment he didn't care about these things at all. He only wanted to tear Xiao Ning into pieces as soon as possible!

The anger on Xiao An's face quickly turned into grievance as he entered the side hall of the Yangxin Palace. He cried out, "Crown Prince, please make the decision for me!"
