Xie Yao watched Xiao Ji's carriage leave before turning back to the main courtyard.

The main courtyard, which was lively and warm just now, became deserted at this moment, but Xie Yao felt warm in her heart because of Xiao Ji's words just now, and she didn't feel lonely even when staying alone in the room.

"Princess, the water is ready." Zhu Qing came in to report and helped Xie Yao take a bath.

Xie Yao soaked in the warm water. Zhu Qing wiped her body and said, "Congratulations, Crown Princess."

Naturally, they all listened to what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said today. The Crown Princess has enjoyed the good times these days, but she feels bitter in her heart.

Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has finally expressed his stance, she is happy for her own Crown Princess, feeling that the clouds have finally cleared and the moon has appeared.

Xie Yao thought for a moment and said, "Today is certainly a good start, but no matter what, I will never place all my hopes on another person."

She said this to tell Zhuqing not to rely on others.

"People's hearts are fickle. I believe everything Your Highness said today." Xie Yao's tone was much softer when she mentioned Xiao Ji. "I believe Your Highness's promise today is sincere. But even if Your Highness changes one day, I will still be myself."

Just like this period of time.

Xiao Ji lost his previous memory and didn't even remember her as his wife.

Xie Yao was also sad about this, but she continued to live. Xiao Ji's amnesia did not bring her down.

Zhu Qing understood the meaning of Xie Yao's instruction and said thoughtfully, "Crown Princess, I understand."

"Get up." Xie Yao stood up, "There are still some important things to deal with."

Xie Yao sat back in the main room, and Zhu Qing and Yu Yan were busy wiping Xie Yao's hair. At the same time, Zhu Qing reported what Xie Yao had asked her to investigate today.

"Crown Princess." Zhu Qing handed a booklet to Xie Yao, "This is the list of people who spread rumors in the capital."

Xie Yao took it and looked at the names, her eyes darkening slightly. There were quite a few people on the list, and...she saw a few familiar faces on it.

Xuanshu.

Xie Yao pointed her finger at her name, "Xuan Yue's sister?"

"Yes." Zhu Qing whispered, "I asked someone to check. I heard that the second young lady of the Xuan family was saved by the Marquis of Zhenbei in her early years. Since then, she has admired him wholeheartedly."

"However, the Marquis of Zhenbei had been in Northern Xinjiang for many years, and everyone knew that the eldest princess wanted to marry him, so Second Miss Xuan didn't dare to show it."

"After the eldest princess married Hu Yanyuan, the second young lady of the Xuan family did appear before the Marquis of Zhenbei a few times, but he didn't take it seriously."

Xie Yao felt annoyed when she heard this.

Using such means... it seems that the Second Miss Xuan has inherited the true teachings of Grand Tutor Xuan!

Another acquaintance is Xie Yuru.

Xie Yao's finger landed on the three words "Xie Yuru" again, "It seems that she has been very free recently?"

She thought that after what happened last time, Xiao Hong would definitely not let Xie Yuru go, but now it seems... she was wrong.

Xie Yuru may not be good at other things, but she is good at coaxing people.

Zhu Qing said hurriedly, "Second Young Master Xiao was indeed very angry last time and almost made Third Miss miscarry. But I don't know what method Third Miss used, but in the end she was safe and sound."

"However, Miss Lin has already successfully reached the side of Second Young Master Xiao."

Xie Yao raised her eyebrows, "She's quite good."

She just asked Zhu Qing to help Lin Shuang change her identity, but did not send her directly to Xiao Hong.

It only took a few days for Lin Shuang to do it on her own, which is really good.

At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and Si Bei's voice came from outside the courtyard, "Crown Princess, something happened."

"The Third Prince has broken into the Heavenly Prison!"

Xie Yao: “???”

Is Xiao An crazy?

She immediately asked, "Can someone send a message to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about this?"

Si Bei said: "In reply to the Crown Princess, I have already sent someone, but the palace gates are now locked, so I'm afraid it will take some time for Your Highness to arrive."

"Prepare the carriage." Xie Yao did not hesitate. After ordering the carriage to be prepared, she asked Zhu Qing to change her clothes and then took the carriage straight to the Heavenly Prison.

After leaving the room, Xie Yao asked, "The prison is heavily guarded. How could Xiao An have gotten in?"

Si Beidao said: "The Heavenly Prison is indeed heavily guarded, but the guards dare not really hurt His Highness the Third Prince."

Well, Xie Yao probably understood what was going on.

As long as Xiao An is desperate enough, the guards will not be able to stop him. After all, Xiao An is of noble status, and no one dares to really hurt him for fear of not being able to take responsibility.

"Go and stop him immediately." Xie Yao said, "Xiao Ning cannot die."

At least not now.

Xiao Ning has a special identity. In addition to being the eldest princess of the Xia Kingdom, she is also the consort of the third prince of the Northern Frontier.

If Xiao Ning died at this time, the Northern Territory would immediately be in chaos.

Xie Yao was naturally not afraid of fighting, but the people of two cities in Xia State were still in the hands of the Northern Frontier.

Xie Yao couldn't gamble with their lives.

"Yes." Upon hearing this, Si Bei immediately rushed towards the sky prison.

Although Si Bei was very fast, he still arrived a little late. When Xie Yao arrived, Xiao An had already been controlled. It was Si Bei who was holding Xiao An, but he was still struggling, "You dog slave, let me go!"

"Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you stop me? I'll kill you! I'm going to kill you!"

Xiao An was shouting wildly, and he looked like he had drunk fake alcohol. He looked crazy and his clothes were stained with blood.

Xie Yao's eyes darkened and she said directly, "Shut his mouth first." They were arguing to death.

Then he asked, "How is the princess?"

Si Bei's expression was strange and stiff. He said, "Princess... your injuries are quite serious, but your life is not in danger."

Xie Yao let out a sigh.

As long as you can't die.

"Ask a doctor to treat the princess immediately." After Xie Yao said this, Xiao An looked at her with angry and resentful eyes.

He opened his mouth to curse, but there was a piece of cloth blocking his mouth, veins on his forehead bulged, and he could only make "mmm" sounds.

"Crown Princess." Si Nan said with some embarrassment, "The princess's injury..."

Xie Yao heard something wrong in Si Bei's words and gave Zhu Qing a look. Zhu Qing immediately rushed to where Xiao Ning was to check on Xiao Ning's condition.

Not long after, Zhu Qing came out with an ugly and stiff expression on his face, and whispered a few words into Xie Yao's ear.

Xie Yao's expression changed drastically and she immediately walked inside.

Xiao Ning was still imprisoned in the Sky Prison. Because it was the emperor's order, no one dared to release her even if Xiao Ning was injured.

Xiao Ning was lying on the bed in the cell, and was now losing his temper, "Get out! Get out!"

When Xiao Ning saw Xie Yao, hatred flashed in his eyes, "It's you, you did it on purpose, didn't you!"

Xie Yao had just threatened her with Xiao An today, and Xiao An came tonight...

"Do you believe that I will kill Zhao Ying and make sure you never see her again?" Xiao Ning's expression was a little broken.

Her life was safe at the moment, but her body was covered in blood.

Because the first thing Xiao An did when he broke into the prison was not to take her life, but to cut off her breast with a knife!

"I'm still waiting for the letter." Xie Yao said directly to Xiao Ning.

"Crown Princess." Yuyan walked in from outside. "The doctor is here."

"Get out!" Xiao Ning cursed, "Let him get out!"

Xiao An hurting her like this today was a devastating blow to her. She was a playboy by nature, with countless lovers. In addition to her status, she was also very confident in her charm.

But Xiao An actually dared to treat her like this!

"Get out! All of you get out!" Xiao An yelled directly at Xie Yao, "Get out!"

Xie Yao didn't argue with Xiao Ning, but just said, "I'll ask someone to call a female doctor."

Then he retreated calmly.

Even if Xiao Ning encountered such a disaster, she believed that Xiao Ning knew what to do. Xiao Ning had a lot of ambition in her heart and would not be easily defeated by this difficulty.

When Xie Yao left the Heavenly Prison, Xiao Ji had already arrived.

He had obviously rushed over as well, and asked Xie Yao very naturally, "How is it?" He was obviously asking about Xiao Ning's situation.

Xie Yao felt it was too much to put into words, so she finally put it simply, "It can be considered... a case of giving someone a taste of their own medicine."

Although Xiao Ji didn't know exactly what Xiao An had done, he understood the meaning behind Xie Yao's words.

His expression immediately became the same as Xie Yao's.

As a man, it was naturally inconvenient for him to go in and visit Xiao Ning when she was injured like this. Xie Yao added, "I've asked someone to invite a female doctor."

She didn't say it explicitly, but her eyes told her that she believed Xiao Ning would make the right decision.

So there is no need to worry about Xiao Ning's life.

Xiao Ji nodded in understanding, and his gaze fell on Xiao An.

Xiao An was gagged, and he was still fuming even then. Who the hell was Xie Yao? She was just lucky enough to marry Xiao Ji and become the Crown Princess, yet she dared to treat him like this!

And this damned dog slave...

Meeting Xiao Ji's cold and indifferent eyes, Xiao An froze for a moment, as if a basin of cold water had fallen from the sky, drenching him completely.

The thoughts in his mind were instantly blocked and he dared not think about them anymore.

Xiao Ji...well, so scary.

But soon, Xiao An turned fearless again. Even if he did it, so what?!

Xiao Ning touched him, but Xiao Ji protected her and didn't punish her.

Since that was the case, he would retaliate. He didn't believe that Xiao Ji would dare to show favoritism or do anything to him!

As expected, Xiao Ji said, "Send the Third Prince back to the Third Prince's Mansion and place him under house arrest from now on. No one is allowed to enter or leave without my order."

Xiao An snorted lightly and was taken away from the prison as if he had expected it.

Soon, the female doctor that Xie Yao had someone call arrived.

This time, Xiao Ning was quiet, and no more angry roars were heard. It was obvious that Xiao Ning had made a decision.

After all, Xiao Ning was seriously injured, so Xie Yao and Xiao Ji did not leave quickly, but waited for treatment before asking about the situation.

The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were both there, and the guards of the Heavenly Prison were all silent and kneeling on the ground.

They didn't dare to really hurt the Third Prince, but who could have imagined that after the Third Prince came alone and broke into the Heavenly Prison, there were suddenly so many people behind him who blocked them directly.

By the time they wanted to save the princess again, it was too late.

They knew at that time that the Third Prince had planned this all along and had them all included in his plan, but there was nothing they could do; now they had to bear all the consequences.

"I, Your Highness, have failed to provide adequate protection. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Everyone had only one thought in their mind at this moment: death, definitely death this time, they just hoped that this matter would not implicate their family members.

Xiao Ji looked at the guards kneeling on the ground, his cold eyes devoid of any emotion.

These people were indeed incompetent. They were so afraid of hurting Xiao An that they even neglected their duties.

but……

"Since you are incapable of such a trivial task as overseeing the Heavenly Prison, you will all be exiled to the northern border to join the army." Xiao Ji said, "Depart immediately."

As soon as these words were spoken, the guards looked at each other in bewilderment. Before they could even rejoice at having survived the disaster, they were filled with fear for the future.

The North...

It was far away and dangerous, a completely unfamiliar environment for them, and it was also dangerous to go to the battlefield.

The guards looked at each other, their faces full of confusion.

The captain on duty at the prison today seemed to understand something and immediately said, "As you command!"

After everyone left, Xie Yao looked at Xiao Ji deeply.

After dealing with Xiao An and the guards, a maid finally came out of the prison. "Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness's Consort."

"The female doctor has stopped the princess's bleeding."

Xie Yao and Xiao Ji looked at each other, and both walked towards the sky prison at the same time.

Xiao Ning's cell had been separated by curtains, but the strong smell of blood still filled the air.

"Princess, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess have arrived." The maid said to Xiao Ning in the cell.

"Kill him, kill him!" Xiao Ning's voice was filled with hatred, "Kill Xiao An!"

How dare that wicked bastard born by that slave girl treat her like this? Damn it, damn it!

"I have had him confined to his room. I will decide this matter after my father wakes up." Xiao Ji said in a steady voice.

"Are you crazy?!" Xiao Ning's sharp voice rang out. "Grounded? He hurt me so much, and you only grounded me?"

At this moment, Xiao Ning even forgot the identity of Crown Prince Xiao Ji, and his voice was full of disbelief.

Crazy, Xiao Ji is really crazy!

Xiao Ning was about to explode, but Xiao Ji's eyes were calm. He only said, "A few days ago, Xiao An produced evidence of you harming him last time, but I didn't punish you."

"The matter between you will be decided by your father after he wakes up." Xiao Ji felt that he was being fair.

"How are they the same?!" Xiao Ning asked subconsciously, and then reacted and denied it flatly, "I didn't do it. He forged the evidence. I didn't harm him."

The crime of mutilating brothers and sisters is quite serious.

Xiao Ning had ambitious ambitions and naturally did not want to bear such a crime.

Xiao Ji was not annoyed, but said in a cold voice: "Whether it was you who did it or not, the emperor will judge for himself when he wakes up."

Xiao Ning became even angrier.

Father, father, I only know father. Xiao Ji really took on the responsibility of regent in vain. If it were her...

and many more.

Xiao Ning's originally angry eyes suddenly calmed down. She looked in the direction where Xiao Ji's voice came from outside the curtain, her eyes full of suspicion.

It's been several days, how come Xiao Ji's voice... is still so powerful?

Her people haven't taken action yet?

A bunch of trash!

"You have indeed been wronged by what happened today. You should take good care of yourself first." After Xiao Ji said this, he was about to leave.

Xiao Ning shifted her attention back and looked in the direction of Xiao Ji with a cold gaze, waiting until the footsteps completely disappeared.

Xiao Ji wants to protect that bastard Xiao An?

It doesn’t matter, she can take revenge herself!
