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

transaction?

What deal?

Xiao An looked at Hu Yanyuan with suspicion, completely confused as if he didn't understand anything.

Huyan Yuan: ...idiot!

He took a deep breath and suppressed the irritation and anger in his heart.

If it were someone else, they would have understood his implied meaning long ago, but Xiao An still looked confused.

The corner of Hu Yanyuan's mouth twitched slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Brother Xiao An, don't you want to..."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived——"

A chorus of voices interrupted Hu Yanyuan's words.

Hu Yanyuan had no choice but to shut up, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he looked in the direction where Xiao Ji came from.

"Brother Crown Prince."

"Prince."

The two men saluted simultaneously. Before the Third Prince could complain, Hu Yanyuan took the lead, his face stern, and asked in a questioning tone, "Brother Crown Prince, what do you mean by this?"

To be honest, Hu Yanyuan was not very scared.

Firstly, he had just ordered his men to break out, and the people Xiao An brought with him could not stop his elites at all.

Secondly, his second brother had sent a letter from the country, so he had someone to rely on and was not worried that Xiao Ji would turn against him.

Hu Yanyuan, the wicked one, complained first: "The Third Prince claimed to be following orders from the Crown Prince. He broke into my residence late at night and started smashing things up..."

Hu Yanyuan's expression turned serious for a second. "Is Xia Kingdom going to break the alliance with Northern Xinjiang?"

Xiao An fell silent for a moment, his eyes darting left and right. It was the first time he realized that this hostage from the Northern Frontier, who had always been looked down upon, could be so imposing.

Xiao An hid behind Xiao Ji, not daring to answer the question directly, hoping that Xiao Ji could take it for him.

He cannot bear such a heavy responsibility.

Xiao Ji did not let Xiao An down. He had no intention of escaping and just stood in front of Xiao An.

Xiao Ji was not afraid at all, his eyes filled with coldness. "How dare you, a traitor who goes back on your word, talk to me about breaking the alliance?"

Hu Yanyuan's pupils shrank slightly, his hands clenched, his throat pounding, but he pretended to be calm, "What do you mean, Prince?"

"Bring them up." Xiao Ji gave an order, and Si Nan immediately appeared with a group of people and the man in black.

Seeing these people, Huyan Yuan's expression changed slightly, and he became completely uneasy!

The person being detained like a prisoner by Si Nan's men at this moment was not someone else, but his subordinate who had just rushed out and was hidden in the Grand Princess's Mansion.

Hu Yanyuan's expression changed for a moment before finally returning to composure. If Xiao Ji dared to touch his men, he would kill many more people from the two northern cities.

He just didn't believe that Xiao Ji would dare to attack his people.

"I think these are the people sent by my second brother to pick me up." Hu Yanyuan crossed his arms and said calmly, "We can just arrange for someone to bring them here. Why bother sending them here personally, my prince?"

Xiao An's expression changed immediately, "Crown Prince..."

Xiao Ji ignored Xiao An and said to Hu Yanyuan with his eyes fixed on her: "I'm afraid these people cannot be released."

Hu Yanyuan's face was slightly cold, his eyes were threatening, and he said with gritted teeth: "Brother Crown Prince, you love the people like your own children, but you must think twice before you act!"

The words “love the people as one’s own children” that were emphasized were a blatant threat.

Xiao Ji and Hu Yanyuan looked at each other without any evasion or concession in their eyes. "Even you have to go with me."

Xiao Ji raised his hand and waved, "Take it away."

Si Nan immediately led his men forward and captured Hu Yanyuan.

Hu Yanyuan looked at the situation in front of him, considered it for a while, and finally did not resist.

Xiao Ji brought a lot of people with him, and the entire Grand Princess's Mansion was surrounded. Even he... might not be able to get out.

He wanted to see what Xiao Ji would dare to do to him even if he caught him!

"Brother Prince, please don't regret your actions!"

Xiao An looked at Hu Yanyuan, then at Xiao Ji, and felt happy and relieved.

Okay, great!

Huyan Yuan and that bitch Xiao Ning paid the price, but he didn't have to bear the corresponding price for these two people.

Xiao Ji is leading the way.

Xiao Ji had no intention of interrogating Hu Yanyuan. He directly had Hu Yanyuan imprisoned in the Sky Prison.

Seeing this, Xiao An's eyes turned and he followed Xiao Ji and said, "Brother Crown Prince, have I...did I accomplish anything meritorious?"

Xiao Ji glanced at Xiao An and said, "Tomorrow I will announce to all the civil and military officials that it was thanks to my third brother that we were able to capture Hu Yanyuan tonight..."

"No need, no need, no need!" Xiao An shook his head quickly, his expression changing very quickly.

Xiao Ji's expression remained unchanged, "Is it really not necessary?"

Xiao An nodded firmly, "That's really not necessary! As long as the Crown Prince doesn't blame me for acting on my own tonight..."

Xiao Ji said nothing more and tacitly agreed to Xiao An's arrangement.

Xiao An let out a long sigh, and before leaving, he looked back at the smashed-up Princess's Mansion, with the corners of his lips raised high.

He is much happier now!

Of course, it is not enough, far from enough!

What Xiao Ning did to him...even if he killed Xiao Ning a thousand times, it would not be enough!

When the farce at the Grand Princess's Mansion ended, the sky was already turning pale.

Xiao Ji asked Si Nan to personally take people to imprison Hu Yanyuan and strengthen the guard of the Heavenly Prison again, and then he turned around and returned to the palace.

On the carriage back to the palace, Xiao Ji calmed down and felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.

It's like something is missing...

Soon, Xiao Ji found the answer.

It’s Xie Yao.

The palace gates were locked, so news always spread into the palace more slowly. And the person who brought the news into the palace the fastest today... was Si Bei.

He also didn't forget that Si Bei was now with Xie Yao.

Xie Yao is a woman, so it makes sense that she didn't show up today, but Xiao Ji always felt that... something was missing.

When Xiao Ji returned to the palace, it was already time for the morning court session. He did not rest at all, but went straight to the Golden Palace.

Because Xiao Ji was acting as regent, he did not sit on the dragon throne, but stood beside the dragon throne, at the head of all officials.

When he arrived, all civil and military officials were present.

Everyone has heard about last night's farce. After all, the Third Prince's performance last night... I'm afraid everyone in the capital knows about it.

But what more people know now is that the Third Prince was following the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Early in the morning, a dispute broke out in the Golden Palace.

"In my humble opinion, Your Highness the Crown Prince was too impulsive last night. If this angers the Northern Frontier, the people of the two northern cities will suffer!"

Someone immediately echoed, "That's right, the lives of the people in the two northern cities are still in the hands of others..."

"In my opinion, it's better to agree to Northern Frontier's conditions as soon as possible. The city can be retaken, but the lives of hundreds of thousands of people are at stake!"

"Take it back? You say it's easy, but how can we take it back? It will cost the lives of our soldiers!" someone immediately retorted.

"Does that mean innocent people have to be sacrificed?"

"Then go to the battlefield and take it back!"

"You, you...you are unreasonable!"

The group was arguing fiercely, and this situation had been going on for three days.

A few days ago, when Xiao Ji needed these quarrels, he could pretend that he heard nothing, but today he just felt that these people were extremely noisy.

He slowly opened his dozing eyes and said in a cold voice, "That's enough."

As soon as Xiao Ji said this, the Golden Palace immediately became quiet.

Some people lowered their heads silently, while others were brave enough to look at the expression of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Don't look at it, look at it!

Those who were caught by Xiao Ji's cold eyes subconsciously lowered their heads and even slowed down their breathing.

"Besides the several lords who just spoke, which other lords agree to agree to Northern Frontier's conditions?" Xiao Ji said slowly and coldly, "Step out."
