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

The person is not good!

Xie Yao realized instantly that it was probably not Xiao Ji's intention to let her enter the palace. And Li Zhong...

Xie Yao stopped where she was, her eyes slightly gloomy, "Where is His Highness?"

Zhu Qing and Lin Xia beside her also noticed something was wrong, and immediately stepped forward to protect Xie Yao.

Li Zhong saw this and immediately withdrew his smile. He said in a stern tone, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is naturally waiting for you in the palace."

"Crown Princess, please don't make things difficult for me." Li Zhong's words clearly had a hidden meaning.

really.

As soon as Xie Yao tried to test him, Li Zhong revealed his true colors, but no matter what, she had to submit at this moment.

Li Zhong took her directly to a remote palace in the palace. As soon as she entered, the palace was locked tightly.

"Princess, you are a smart person. I think you should know what to do and what not to do."

"Think about the people you care about and don't make things difficult for me." Li Zhong said, sneered and turned away.

"Commander Li." Xie Yao called out to Li Zhong, "Where is His Highness?"

"This isn't something the Crown Princess should worry about." Li Zhong's eyes swept over Lin Xia and Zhu Qing, and he waved his hand and said, "Take them away!"

boom.

The palace door was quickly locked in front of Xie Yao, leaving Xie Yao alone in the empty palace.

Of course, Xie Yao was sure that there must be Jinwu Guards guarding outside.

It was already late autumn, and this palace, which had not been inhabited for a long time, was empty. There was nothing in it. As night fell, the cold was bone-chilling.

Xie Yao didn't care whether it was cold or not.

She was just wondering what happened to His Highness...

Xie Yao waited in the hall for a while, and when she was sure that no one came to see her, she immediately headed towards the wall in the courtyard.

Perhaps because she was a woman, Li Zhong and others did not take her too seriously.

But Xie Yao swiftly climbed up the big tree in the courtyard and looked outside under the cover of night.

There are only two Jinwu guards at the palace gate.

Xie Yao didn't dare to look at them for too long. After all, these people were all martial artists, and if she looked at them for too long, she would inevitably be noticed.

After confirming the surrounding situation, she carefully climbed up the wall from the tree branch and tiptoed in the opposite direction.

Finally, he jumped off the wall from the other direction.

Then she followed what she had just seen and walked towards the Yangxin Palace.

The emperor suddenly brought her into the palace and locked her up, doing it so blatantly that it was obvious that he didn't want to pretend anymore.

What about His Highness?

His Highness and Si Nan are indeed skilled, but this is in the imperial palace after all...

Xie Yao's heart was in her throat and she walked faster and faster. Of course, she did not forget to be alert at all times to avoid being bumped into.

There are footsteps!

Xie Yao suddenly stopped and hid in the shadow of the wall.

Listen to the footsteps... there is only one person.

While waiting for this person to pass by, a dark light flashed in Xie Yao's eyes. She stepped forward quickly and hit the back of the palace maid's neck with a knife!

The palace maid instantly collapsed into Xie Yao's arms.

Xie Yao was still very confident about the move she had just made. She had specially learned it from His Highness.

Xie Yao dragged the palace maid and hid in the shadows. Not long after, she changed her clothes and walked out of the shadows.

At the same time, in the Palace of Mental Cultivation.

Xiao Ji was indeed trapped. When he was about to leave the palace in the evening, he was directly invited to the main hall of the Yangxin Palace.

Xiao Ji was indeed confident that he could break out of the palace, but he had some concerns, so he obediently went to the main hall.

The emperor was still "unconscious", and after he sat down, a eunuch served tea to His Highness.

There was...drug in that tea.

It's nothing else but the medicine that can trigger the witchcraft poison in his body.

In just a moment, Xiao Ji understood that the emperor wanted him to die.

If he didn't use the tea and snacks, he would have to stay in the Yangxin Palace.

The witchcraft poison took effect very quickly. Once he drank it, nothing happened to him, but he could not leave the Yangxin Palace.

Xiao Ji was not in a hurry to move these things.

He was just thinking: What happened to Xie Yao?

The emperor attacked him directly, obviously he could no longer wait and would not tolerate him anymore.

Then...what about Yaoyao?

What about the Prince’s Mansion?

"Your Highness." Seeing that Xiao Ji had no intention of touching the tea and snacks, Eunuch Cui stepped forward and said with a smile, "Please enjoy."

The real purpose is revealed, there is no need to pretend anymore.

Xiao Ji picked up the teacup on the table and stroked the cup with his fingertips...

The corners of Eunuch Cui's lips rose slightly, and suddenly, Xiao Ji's sharp eyes fell on Eunuch Cui, his eyes cold.

Eunuch Cui subconsciously lowered his head slightly, not daring to meet Xiao Ji's gaze. Then, coming to his senses, he quickly raised his head again, his back straightening slightly, his eyes filled with bluffing arrogance.

What is he afraid of?

It's a done deal...

boom.

Xiao Ji loosened his grip and the teacup in his hand fell directly to the ground, breaking into pieces and splashing tea everywhere.

Eunuch Cui's expression changed drastically, "You——"

He didn't expect the prince to be so arrogant, but when he met Xiao Ji's eyes, his words got stuck in his throat again.

"Prince, this is a reward from His Majesty. Are you doing this because you are dissatisfied with His Majesty?!" Eunuch Cui's voice was shrill and his expression was a little ferocious.

As he finished speaking, the eyes of everyone else in the hall fell on Xiao Ji.

Xiao Ji was not afraid of this at all. He looked at him sharply and asked, "Can you represent our father?"

Eunuch Cui snorted, "Your Highness, you are joking. I, a servant, cannot represent Your Majesty, but this is Your Majesty's intention."

"The emperor is still in a coma and will not wake up until the end of the month. What exactly do you want to do by falsely conveying the emperor's orders?" Xiao Ji sat on the chair with a straight face, looking at Eunuch Cui with cold eyes.

Eunuch Cui was startled when he was being stared at, but he was not panicked because he was confident.

He looked at Xiao Ji coldly, "Your Highness, some things are meaningless if they are explained too clearly—Ah! What do you want to do?!"

Eunuch Cui suddenly screamed and took a few steps back.

Xiao Ji: "..."

He did nothing.

He just stood up.

"Heh." Xiao Ji's chuckle was filled with sarcasm. Eunuch Cui immediately became angry and ordered the eunuchs around him, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and serve the prince tea!"

Several eunuchs instinctively wanted to step forward after hearing the order, but Xiao Ji glanced at them. Those he saw instinctively stopped and lowered their heads.

Eunuch Cui's expression was distorted, what a useless thing!

Xiao Ji ignored him and walked directly towards the emperor's dragon bed. Eunuch Cui exclaimed and immediately stepped forward to stop him, "Prince! What do you want to do?!"

Could it be that the Crown Prince still wants to do something to His Majesty in front of so many people?!

boom.

Xiao Ji did not answer Eunuch Cui's question, but kicked him in the abdomen, and Eunuch Cui fell backwards.

He fell heavily to the ground, his face pale.

"You, you are so outrageous!" Eunuch Cui no longer concealed his anger, looking at Xiao Ji with hatred in his eyes, "How dare you?!"

"This is the Yangxin Palace! His Majesty is still here! Even if you are the Crown Prince, you can't hit someone in public, right? Is the Crown Prince planning a rebellion?!"

Eunuch Cui spoke in a sharp voice and directly accused Xiao Ji of a crime.

Eunuch Cui was secretly delighted and was about to have these people capture Xiao Ji when he heard Xiao Ji's domineering voice, "Rebellion?"

"I think you are the one who wants to rebel!"

Xiao Ji stared at Eunuch Cui. "The emperor is still unconscious, yet you repeatedly act in his name! You're so bold!"

The auras of the two men were completely different. As soon as Xiao Ji spoke, Eunuch Cui felt his legs trembling and he didn't dare to look at Xiao Ji at all.

After all, one is a young eunuch who has just been promoted, and the other is a prince who holds a high position.

When Eunuch Cui panicked, all the other eunuchs in the palace panicked as well.

Just as Xiao Ji was about to pass him and reach the emperor's dragon bed, a voice came, "Your Highness, please stay!"

Li Zhong, wearing armor, strode into the room with his head held high. His sharp eyes fell on Xiao Ji. The person behind him was holding a tray with tea and snacks.

"Your Highness, this is a gift from His Majesty. Are you going to disobey His Majesty?"

At this point, Li Zhong had no intention of pretending anymore and was almost ready to speak out directly.

"When will you be able to issue an edict on behalf of the emperor?" Xiao Ji didn't argue with him. He just stared at Li Zhong and said, "Li Zhong, you are rebelling!"

Li Zhong laughed, "Your Highness, you are joking. How dare I rebel? This reward of yours was personally ordered by His Majesty."

"Is the emperor awake?" Xiao Ji asked anxiously, "Where is he? What did you do to him?"

Li Zhong sneered, "At this time, Your Highness, are you still playing dumb?"

"Well, since the prince insists on seeing Your Majesty, then please come in." Li Zhong stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture.

Eunuch Cui wanted to say something, but Li Zhong gave him a look and he immediately dared not say anything more.

Eunuch Cui was only temporarily appointed, and Li Zhong was the emperor's real confidant, so he naturally did not dare to interfere.

The bead curtain swayed.

Li Zhong took Xiao Ji into the inner room. He stared at Xiao Ji with a wary look in his eyes.

He naturally knew that the prince had some skills. If the prince wanted to do anything to His Majesty at this moment... he would take action to protect him at the first moment!

but no.

Xiao Ji seemed to know what Li Zhong was thinking. He stood in front of the dragon bed and kept a distance from the emperor.

"Father?" Xiao Ji called out first, then hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."

no respond.

"Father?" Xiao Ji waited for a moment, then raised his eyes tentatively to look—

The emperor was still lying on the bed, seemingly still in a coma.

"Li Zhong." Xiao Ji's cold voice sounded, "What on earth did father do to you?"

Li Zhong had been staring at Xiao Ji, but now he felt something was wrong and glanced at the dragon bed.

He bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."

…still no response.

Li Zhong panicked, "Your Majesty? Your Majesty!"

"Imperial Physician!" In comparison, Xiao Ji was calmer, but after he finished speaking, no one in the entire Yangxin Palace moved.

But his words did remind Li Zhong.

Li Zhong was a martial artist, so he could tell the emperor was still breathing, but he just couldn't wake him up...

"Imperial Physician, where is the Imperial Physician?!"

Li Zhong roared angrily, and immediately someone hurried out, apparently to call the imperial physician.

Li Zhong was extremely anxious. His Majesty was fine before, so why was he now...

But His Majesty felt that he was already well, and since the situation today was special, he did not allow the imperial physician to serve him.

Suddenly, Li Zhong's eyes fell on Xiao Ji, his cold eyes full of wariness. But before he could say anything, Xiao Ji asked coldly, "Is this what you said, that the emperor personally ordered it?"

"Li Zhong, you are so brave!"

"It's you—" Li Zhong looked at Xiao Ji fiercely, "What did you do to His Majesty?!"
