Xiao Ji's kisses were densely imprinted on Xie Yao's neck, from top to bottom, leaving a string of suggestive red marks.

"Your Highness."

Xie Yao cried out softly and reached out to push him, but her hand had no strength.

Xiao Ji held her with one hand and held her hand with the other, their fingers interlocked, "Yaoyao, so sweet."

I really don't blame him.

As soon as he met Xie Yao, the self-control he was proud of collapsed in an instant, and he just wanted to get close to her.

Xie Yao's face was slightly flushed, and the golden afternoon sun shone in and fell on her.

Her whole body seemed to be glowing, as dazzling as a goddess.

There was a hint of piety in Xiao Ji's kiss.

Yaoyao must be the goddess given to him by God, weaving a dreamlike illusion for him.

He...would never regret it even if he died.

Just a little...

The lust in Xiao Ji's kiss gradually faded away, and in the end he just held Xie Yao in his arms with care.

“Yaoyao…I’m sorry.”

"What did Your Highness say?" Xie Yao's watery eyes gradually became clear. She leaned sideways, without any support, and could only hold Xiao Ji tightly.

Xiao Ji helped her sit up straight and said, "I'm thinking about what Yaoyao should learn."

"what?"

Xie Yao really didn't understand this time and looked at Xiao Ji blankly.

Xiao Ji walked to the bookshelf and took down a few books. "Have you read these books, Yaoyao?"

Xie Yao looked up and said, "I've seen some."

Her mother died early, and after the Zhao family left Beijing, she began to make a living under Mrs. Xie Zhang.

Although she was the legitimate daughter of the original wife, she was extremely annoying in Zhang's eyes. She was like a stain in the perfect relationship between Zhang and Xie's father.

Zhang hated her and Xie's father ignored her. She was able to read because Xie Yujiao was not diligent in her studies when she was young and was often scolded, so he remembered her.

Bring her along as a foil.

She was severely punished for surpassing Xie Yujiao in her studies just once, and since then she has learned to hide her shortcomings.

When she has free time, she reads quietly.

But being in the boudoir, what you can access is ultimately limited.

Xie Yao was in a daze when she suddenly felt something heavy in her hand.

It was Xiao Ji who placed the book in her hands and said, "Since you haven't finished reading it, start with these."

"Your Highness?" Xie Yao tilted her head slightly, her glass-like eyes full of confusion.

What does your highness mean?

"After reading this, I will test you. If you can't answer..." Xiao Ji chuckled, "There will be a punishment."

Xie Yao's face turned red for some unknown reason, as she felt that the word "punishment" had a hidden meaning.

"Yes." Xie Yao had no choice but to agree, and just regard it as... the joy of the boudoir.

royal palace.

Weiyang Palace.

When Xiao Ning and Xiao Hong entered the hall, all the servants in the hall had already left.

"Mother concubine."

Xiao Ning stepped forward and personally helped the imperial concubine to her feet. The imperial concubine, who should have been seriously ill, only looked slightly pale at this moment.

"What happened? How could you fail for no reason?" The imperial concubine's voice was filled with displeasure.

They had started planning this matter very early, and it was not easy to bribe the people in Yongle Palace. They thought it was a foolproof thing, but unexpectedly, something went wrong.

Xiao Hong snorted coldly, "Mother, why don't you ask your sister, it's already this late, and you're still thinking..."

"If it weren't for this, my aunt wouldn't have caught me red-handed. There would have been room for maneuver anyway."

"It would be fine if the plan failed, but it also caused me to lose my job at the Ministry of Revenue." Xiao Hong became more and more angry as he thought about it, and was very dissatisfied with Xiao Ning.

"Can you blame me for that?" Xiao Ning asked back, "It was clearly Hu Yanyuan..."

"Alright." The imperial concubine, annoyed by the noise, interrupted the two people's argument. "It has already happened. There is no point in blaming each other."

"I heard that Pei Chen was with the Crown Prince when the incident happened?"

Xiao Ning and Xiao Hong both understood quickly, "Mother, do you suspect this matter is related to the Crown Prince?"

"No way, he doesn't have more than two years to live..." Xiao Hong's tone was somewhat disdainful.

Although Xiao Ji was the crown prince, he never regarded Xiao Ji as his rival.

A mortal man.

"Hmph." Xiao Ning said, "I told you last time I fell into the water. That bitch Xie Yao had something to do with it. Maybe this was a plot by the couple!"

"What does he want?" Xiao Hong was puzzled.

The imperial concubine's eyes flickered slightly, as if she was thinking about something.

"Look at the way you look at Xie Yao. If I were him, I wouldn't do it either." Xiao Ning looked disgusted.

Xiao Hong was a little angry, "He can't even have children, isn't that a waste of such a beauty?"

"Besides, maybe she just knew about your affair with that poor scholar and wanted to stand up for her sister!"

"Absolutely impossible!" Xiao Ning retorted.

Listening to the brother and sister blaming each other, the imperial concubine's thoughts returned to her mind again, "Okay, what's there to argue about?"

"Marrying Hu Yanyuan...isn't a bad idea. He has the Northern Frontier Kingdom behind him."

"As for Xiao Ji, regardless of whether he has any connection with him or not, we should be on guard against him."

"I will personally take care of this matter."

……

As soon as the Second Prince and Princess Heyi left the palace, the news was delivered to the study in the Crown Prince's Mansion.

"Is the imperial concubine getting better?" Xiao Ji asked.

Si Nan shook his head. "The imperial doctors are helpless. The Second Prince has recruited many common doctors into the palace."

Xiao Ji seemed to be lost in thought.

I'm afraid there's something else behind the Imperial Concubine's move... and it's not a good intention.

But the next few days were calm and no news came out. The Second Prince worked with the Ministry of Rites to prepare for Princess Heyi's wedding.

Princess Heyi stayed obediently in the princess's mansion and went to the palace to visit the imperial concubine every other day.

The imperial concubine was still ill, and all the doctors in the capital were consulted, but there was still no improvement.

Xie Yao frowned, "Could it be that the imperial concubine is really ill?"

This disease came on strangely and suddenly.

Xiao Ji glanced at Xie Yao, then thought of the news Si Nan had reported privately. "No."

If the imperial concubine was really ill, how could Xiao Hong have had the leisure to take in two concubines yesterday?

This was not a big deal, but Si Nan said that the two women looked quite similar to Xie Yao.

Thinking of Xiao Hong's eyes that day, a cold light flashed in Xiao Ji's eyes.

There was still no sign of what was happening with the imperial concubine, but the Xie family sent the news first.

Please ask Xie Yao to return to the Xie family to discuss the issue of adopting a son.

As soon as the carriage from the Prince's Mansion arrived at the Xie family's house, Xie Yao was helped off the carriage when she heard a sharp voice, "No, I don't agree!"

"It would be enough to adopt an adopted son, why would we need to adopt another one under Xie Yao's mother's name?"

It’s Xie Yujiao.

The adopted son was to be under Zhang's name, and Zhang had already agreed, but she also wanted to adopt another one under the name of Xie Yao's biological mother.

Xie Yujiao and Zhang naturally disagreed and were furious at this moment.

Xie Yao was not annoyed, and was supported by Zhu Qing as she slowly walked into the house.

Seeing the graceful Xie Yao, Father Xie immediately expressed his opinion and glared at Xie Yujiao, "It's not your turn to comment on your father's decision!"
