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

As Xie Yao spoke, Xiao Ji's blazing eyes fell on her. A strange thought suddenly occurred to her: So what? Not as good as him!

In addition to this inexplicable thought, a secret sense of pride also rose in his heart.

"Your Highness?"

Xie Yao met Xiao Ji's eyes, slightly turned away, and her slightly hoarse voice was a bit lazy, like the breeze in the summer afternoon, making Xiao Ji feel warm.

"Yeah." Xiao Ji lowered his eyes, his hand holding the pen tightened slightly, and blue veins appeared on the back of his bony hand.

Besides that, he didn't know what to say.

The Hall of Mental Cultivation suddenly became quiet, but the atmosphere was ambiguous and charming.

Although there was a sufficient distance between the two of them, Xiao Ji seemed to still clearly feel the aura belonging to Xie Yao.

Sweet and warm...

Xiao Ji was distracted, but Xie Yao pondered for a moment and said, "Your Highness, now that Sister Ying has been found, what does your Highness think about Xiao Ning?"

Xiao Ji: "..."

Xie Yao's words were like a bucket of cold water falling from the sky, which chilled Xiao Ji to the bone and washed away all the beautiful thoughts in his mind.

He calmed himself down and asked Xie Yao, "Does the Crown Princess have any ideas?"

Since Xie Yao could say this, she must have some ideas, and Xiao Ji was very willing to listen.

"How's the defense over there in the Sky Prison?" Fortunately, Xiao Ning hasn't agreed to proceed step by step yet, otherwise Xiao Ning would have been out of the Sky Prison by now, and it would have been even more difficult to guard him.

After all, the princess's mansion is Xiao Ning's own territory.

Xiao Ji looked at Xie Yao deeply. "The guards at the prison have been strengthened. It's surrounded like an iron barrel now, but those people are hiding in the dark, so it hasn't affected the normal situation of the prison."

Xie Yao looked at Xiao Ji with a little surprise. His Highness... had made arrangements in advance?

Xie Yao wouldn't think this was a coincidence.

Xiao Ji just didn't want to calculate before, but when it came to calculating, His Highness was absolutely meticulous. She had learned many things from His Highness...

Xie Yao's eyes met Xiao Ji's, and she confirmed what Xiao Ji meant. She smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "I'm sorry for showing off."

It seems that His Highness has already made all the preparations.

Xiao Ji shook his head, not taking credit for it. Instead, he looked at Xie Yao seriously and said, "Crown Princess, there's no need to be so modest. Today's events are all thanks to your good calculations."

"If we don't find Miss Zhao, everything will be in vain."

Just as Xie Yao was about to say something else, Li Dajian's voice came from outside, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, Crown Princess, the Sibei Guard requests an audience."

Soon, Si Bei entered the Yangxin Palace. "Your Highness, Crown Princess, news just came from the palace. The eldest princess sent a message from the Heavenly Prison, saying that they are willing to make a concession."

"She releases Miss Zhao, and His Highness releases the eldest princess from the prison."

Xie Yao and Xiao Ji looked at each other and smiled. Here they come!

"Refuse her." Xie Yao instructed Si Bei under Xiao Ji's encouraging gaze, "Tell her that Sister Ying has been found."

Si Bei didn't hesitate and immediately agreed, "Yes!"

Although Xiao Ning is now in the Heavenly Prison, some news can still be delivered to her, it is just a matter of time.

It is better to block than to open up.

Therefore, Xie Yao and Xiao Ji had the same idea. Instead of waiting for Xiao Ning to find out about this matter in the next few days and then taking countermeasures, it would be better to tell her directly and early.

There is no need to keep paying attention to Xiao Ning.

The fact that Xiao Ning had just sent someone to pass on this message meant that Xiao Ning had already learned about Zhao Ying's rescue, which was why he immediately backed off and wanted his freedom.

Xie Yao rejected her directly.

After a pause, Xie Yao continued, "Your Highness, I think we should arrange for a few more doctors to guard the prison, just in case."

After all, although Xiao Ning's life was not in danger, he was also seriously injured. If he died of anger... it would be difficult to explain.

Xiao Ji nodded immediately and praised: "The Crown Princess has a kind heart."

The couple looked at each other with a smile on their faces.

……

Xie Yao and Xiao Ji didn't have to wait too long before Aunt Suqin personally brought Zhao Ying over.

"Miss Zhao, the princess likes you very much. If you are free, please come and accompany her more often."

Aunt Suqin said this in front of Xie Yao, and the meaning was very clear, which was to reassure the Crown Princess.

Zhao Ying's cheeks flushed slightly when she heard this. "Don't worry, Aunt Suqin. I will come to accompany Her Royal Highness the Princess often."

Suqin smiled, knelt down and left the Yangxin Palace.

Xie Yao looked at Zhao Ying with amusement, "Sister Ying, are you relieved now?" She had been trying to comfort her just now, but Sister Ying was still not relieved.

Zhao Ying didn't blush anymore when Xie Yao teased her. She sighed softly and said, "The Princess... is really a very good person."

Just like what Pei Chen said in front of her, even better.

Seeing Zhao Ying's happy face, Xie Yao was naturally happy for her. She pulled Zhao Ying aside and sat down, with pen and paper ready. "Write, write a letter to the Marquis of Zhenbei to let him know you're safe."

Zhao Ying did not refuse and immediately picked up the pen to start writing the letter.

Xie Yao and Xiao Ji were both very sensible people. They did not get close to her, but stayed away from her.

Zhao Ying did not pause, and wrote as if possessed by God, and soon wrote a full letter.

She held the letter and looked at Xie Yao.

"There is an envelope." Xie Yao said.

She and His Highness had no interest in reading the correspondence between the engaged couple.

Zhao Ying coughed lightly, her ears slightly red as she folded the letter and put it in the envelope. "Okay."

At Xiao Ji's command, Si Nan immediately sealed the letter and prepared to send it to the northern front together with the letter written by Xiao Ji.

Xiao Ji looked at Zhao Ying and said, "Miss Zhao, to prevent this from happening again, how about arranging a few people to stay with you?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. The Princess has just told me about this matter. She has also arranged for two people to accompany me."

When Zhao Ying heard this at first, she was unwilling.

One of the reasons why she rejected Pei Chen many times was that she yearned for freedom and didn't want to be bound.

Although the people arranged were only there to protect her, she still felt a sense of unease. This was also the reason why Pei Chen did not arbitrarily arrange for someone to protect her before leaving Beijing this time.

But after something like this happened, no one dared to take it lightly anymore.

Zhao Ying knew even more clearly that since she had agreed to Pei Chen's marriage, she had to bear the corresponding risks. At this critical moment, it was reasonable for her to be restricted and protected.

"Since my aunt has arranged the person, I will not interfere."

After finishing these serious matters, Zhao Ying was about to leave. Xie Yao was about to follow him, but was stopped by Xiao Ji again.

Zhao Ying left first.

Under Xie Yao's surprised gaze, Xiao Ji took out a memorial from the table and handed it to her, "Take a look."

Xie Yao flipped through it, and when she saw the content inside... her expression instantly became wonderful!
