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

Yangxin Palace, a side hall.

When Xie Yao entered the room, everyone in the hall looked over immediately.

Xie Yao clearly saw the fleeting worry for her in Xiao Ji's eyes. As for the look of Changning Marquis Cheng Fengqi... Xie Yao simply chose to ignore it.

"Princess."

Cheng Fengqi and Zhao Hao saluted at the same time.

Xie Yao nodded slightly and asked directly: "What clues did you find?"

Zhao Hao immediately took out something, which was a jade pendant.

Xie Yao's heart sank as she saw it... She recognized this token. Not only her, but everyone present recognized it.

This jade pendant is owned by everyone in Xiao Ning's "harem" and represents status.

"Your Highness, Crown Prince, Crown Princess." Zhao Hao knelt directly in the palace, "Please allow me to go to the Heavenly Prison and question the Grand Princess."

Zhao Hao spoke each word with gritted teeth. Even at this point, he didn't dare to say "interrogation".

Cheng Fengqi also said: "Miss Zhao and the Marquis of Zhenbei are engaged. Miss Zhao's disappearance at this time may affect the war situation in the northern border. I think it is necessary to inquire about the matter of the princess."

"No." Before Xiao Ji could say anything, Xie Yao spoke first.

"Crown Princess!" Zhao Hao suddenly raised his eyes and was speechless in surprise.

"You can't go." Xie Yao looked at Xiao Ji, "Your Highness, let me go."

In short, Zhao Hao’s identity...is not qualified.

"But..." Zhao Hao looked at Xie Yao, hesitant to speak, with worry in his eyes. He was not worried that Xie Yao would not be able to help, but worried that she would be embarrassed.

The conditions Xiao Ning proposed were definitely not simple...

Xie Yao gave Zhao Hao a soothing look, took the jade pendant from him, turned it in her hand, and said, "Don't worry, they have something to ask for. There is no need to worry about Sister Ying's safety."

Zhao Hao could only say, "Yes."

Zhao Hao and Cheng Fengqi retreated first at Xiao Ji's order.

Xiao Ji then looked at Xie Yao and said, "If necessary, any conditions can be agreed to."

Not to mention that Zhao Ying was Pei Chen's fiancée, he could tell from Xie Yao's expression that Miss Zhao was very important to her.

Xie Yao was a little surprised, then nodded, "Okay."

After a pause, he added, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I know what's going on."

"Yes." Xiao Ji nodded, "I...I believe you."

Xie Yao felt a little sad, but she really didn't want to think about anything else at this moment. She smiled at Xiao Ji, took the warrant to enter the Heavenly Prison and left.

Just left the Yangxin Palace.

She then saw Cheng Fengqi standing not far away, obviously waiting for her.

"Crown Princess." Cheng Fengqi's eyes were restrained and calm, but his voice still couldn't hide his concern. "I'm afraid this matter is difficult to handle. If you need it... I am willing to share your worries."

Xie Yao shook her head. "I appreciate the good intentions of Marquis Changning, but it's not necessary."

"Crown Princess, this matter..." Cheng Fengqi wanted to speak.

"Thank you very much." Xie Yao interrupted Cheng Fengqi, "I have made up my mind. Marquis Changning should go find someone first."

She knew what Cheng Fengqi meant. As long as Xiao Ning made a request, whether it was met or not, it would offend and hurt a group of people.

If it were satisfied, Xiao An would explode immediately. Moreover, Xiao Ning had just been charged with treason. Releasing her would undoubtedly cause public outrage and trample on the law.

If she is not satisfied, then if something really happens to Zhao Ying, she will not be able to explain to Pei Chen, the Zhao family... and even her own conscience...

Cheng Fengqi really wanted to help her, but she knew what she was doing.

After leaving Cheng Fengqi's sight, Xie Yao handed the token of the Princess's Mansion to Lin Xia. After giving some instructions, Lin Xia left alone with the token.

Heaven Prison.

As soon as Xie Yao entered, she saw Xiao Ning sitting calmly in the luxurious cell.

The prison guard who was carefully accompanying Xie Yao saw Xiao Ning's appearance in the cell. His expression suddenly changed. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and looked at Xie Yao with guilt and caution.

This...can he say that he really didn't know?

Fortunately, the Crown Princess didn't seem to have any intention of pursuing responsibility.

He had instructed his men to prepare a throne, tea, snacks, etc. for the Crown Princess...

It was not until Xie Yao sat down that Xiao Ning, who had been dozing off, slowly raised her eyes and said with a pursed lip, "What a rare guest."

Xie Yao looked directly into Xiao Ning's eyes, "The princess is waiting for me."

Xiao Ning raised the corners of his lips and ordered directly, "Everyone, leave."

No one dared to move.

The smile on Xiao Ning's face slowly faded, and she sneered, "It seems that my words are useless now?"

Xie Yao raised her hand to signal, and then everyone left the place quickly as if they had been pardoned.

Only Zhu Qing was still guarding Xie Yao. Xiao Ning remembered her but ignored her.

"Let me go, restore my identity, and clear my name with everyone." Xiao Ning got straight to the point. "Do this, and I'll return the person you want."

Xiao Ning spoke with great confidence, as if he was certain of victory.

She just didn't believe that Xie Yao could ignore Zhao Ying's safety.

"Okay." Xie Yao said directly: "Hand him over first."

"Hmph." Xiao Ning sneered, looking at Xie Yao with mockery in his eyes, "Xie Yao, we are all smart people, so stop talking nonsense."

She is not a fool, so she will believe whatever Xie Yao says.

Xie Yao's face darkened, she looked directly into Xiao Ning's eyes and said, "You don't believe me, and I don't believe you either."

"That's nothing we can do." Xiao Ning's ugly expression quickly returned to normal, and he shrugged helplessly.

At this time, whoever gets impatient first will lose.

"You know." Xiao Ning looked at Xie Yao, "I'm not in a hurry. Although I'm imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, I'm a princess. Father won't take my life no matter what."

"But Miss Zhao... that might not be the case~"

Xiao Ning raised the corners of his eyes, and his tone was not threatening at all, but the threat was very obvious.

The coldness in Xie Yao's eyes grew a little more intense, and she looked at Xiao Ning indifferently. However, the smug smile on Xiao Ning's face slowly faded, and she inexplicably felt a chill on her back.

Xie Yao's aura became more and more frightening.

"You're right." Xie Yao saw that Xiao Ning had stopped smiling and felt much more pleased with her. She reminded him in a friendly manner, "Father really won't take your life."

"But you won't forget what you did to Xiao An, right?" Xie Yao asked, "What do you think...what will he do to you?"

When Xiao An was mentioned, a cold light flashed in Xiao Ning's eyes, but she still looked indifferent. "Him?"

Xiao An is just a waste.

If she could do it to Xiao An once, she could do it a second time, a third time...

If Xiao An really dares to do anything... she doesn't mind sending Xiao An to hell!

Xie Yao didn't say anything, just looked at Xiao Ning with a smile.

Xiao Ning's heart slowly sank. Xie Yao was threatening her. She was telling her that it wasn't just Xiao An...

"Don't forget." Xiao Ning brought the subject back, "You're the one asking me to do this now."

Xie Yao's threat was in the future, but Zhao Ying was firmly in her grasp. She, Xiao Ning... would never be the first to yield!
