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

Doesn’t Your Highness know these things?

Si Nan secretly complained in his heart, but still said: "Your Highness, it is indeed true. Two days ago, Song Li went to the Xie family to pick up the second young lady and said these words in public."

Xiao Ji's eyes were cold and gloomy. "How dare you."

Of course he knew about the dirty things that Song Wenbo, that dirty man, had done.

I used to just dislike it.

But now, thinking that the one who was plotting against him was actually his Crown Princess, Xiao Ji felt a surge of violence and anger in his heart for no reason.

I wish I could burn the Song family to ashes.

"You are so rude. Give you a lesson." Xiao Ji ordered lightly.

Si Nan immediately turned around and left, feeling very happy. It was great. Ever since marrying the Crown Princess, His Highness had become more and more like a living person with flesh and blood.

Long live the Crown Princess!

When Xie Yao woke up the next day, she saw only the familiar big bed and...

The warm and hot chest behind me.

Even through the underwear, she could clearly feel the warmth belonging to His Highness.

A little hot.

She just moved slightly and struggled, then she felt a tightening around her waist, and her whole body was pulled back, pressed tightly against his chest.

"Your Highness." Xie Yao's voice was slightly hoarse, and her throat felt dry. "I want to drink some water."

Without waiting for her to get up.

Xiao Ji had already sat up, turned over from the bed and poured a cup of warm tea over.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Xie Yao smiled faintly, took the teacup and drank it in small sips.

Xiao Ji was not in a hurry. He waited until she finished drinking before asking, "Is that enough?"

Xie Yao nodded.

Xiao Ji took a big step and returned to the bed. The originally wide bed suddenly seemed much cramped because of his arrival.

"Your Highness?" Xie Yaowei widened her eyes in surprise. Every time she woke up in the past, Xiao Ji was not there.

Today is...

"I want to test your recent progress in martial arts." Xiao Ji looked at Xie Yao seriously, "Come."

Xie Yao: “…”

Even if she has a fertile holy body and excellent recovery ability, it still takes time!

She tossed and turned most of the night yesterday, and even she felt her waist and legs were still a little weak. Xiao Ji put in more effort, so why did he look so energetic?

"Your Highness, I have no strength." Xie Yao stayed in bed and refused to get up. Her shoulders and neck exposed under the quilt were full of ambiguous traces that aroused people's reverie.

Xiao Ji frowned.

Xie Yao glared at him, "It's all your Highness's fault!"

Xiao Ji: "...Then try again tomorrow."

He was still a little embarrassed. Xie Yao had been begging for mercy yesterday, but how could he stop at that time?

Xie Yao immediately said, "Tonight."

Then let it be and then...

Although the female doctor said that she needed to exercise restraint, she would definitely exercise restraint after these few days.

Xiao Ji glanced at her, said nothing more, just stood up, changed his clothes and left.

After lunch, Xie Yao began to look at the account book.

As the Crown Princess, she not only had to look at the account books of the Crown Prince's Mansion, but also had to look at the many shops and farms that came with her as a dowry.

"Princess."

Zhu Xin hurried in from outside and whispered, "Mr. Song didn't come home last night, and we only found out today that his leg was broken."

"Ah?" Xie Yao raised her eyes.

"And Song Li, I don't know if she ate something wrong, but she couldn't speak this morning. I asked a doctor to see her, and he said she won't be able to speak for half a month."

Has the Song family encountered evil spirits?

"Did Zhang do it?" This was Xie Yao's first suspicion. After all, Song Wenbo and Song Li had made Zhang very angry at Xie's house that day.

Zhang's behavior was expected.

Zhu Xin shook her head, "From my perspective... it doesn't look like that."

"The Zhang family's people are busy looking for the master. This morning, Uncle Zhang went to the Imperial Master's Mansion to deliver gifts."

"It's strange to say, the steward of the Imperial Master's Mansion originally didn't intend to accept it, but later on, for some reason, he accepted the gift."

Hearing the words "National Master's Mansion", Xie Yao's eyes flickered, "Keep an eye on the Jin family and the Zhang family."

Xie Yao thought about it and got up and went to the study.

Perhaps due to her past life experiences, she had a keen intuition in some areas. For example, regarding the affairs of the Imperial Master's Mansion and the Zhang family...

She keenly felt that something was wrong.

"Your Highness."

Xie Yao walked straight in and found that there was not only Xiao Ji in the study, but also someone she had met before.

Pei Chen, Marquis of Zhenbei.

She paused slightly, the smile on her face faded a little, and she said in a dignified manner, "My Lord."

Pei Chen also stood up and bowed, "Crown Princess."

"Thank you, Princess Consort, for reminding me about what happened that day." Pei Chen bowed deeply again, his firm voice filled with sincerity.

"You're welcome, Lord Marquis." Xie Yao smiled faintly, her eyes falling on Xiao Ji.

Xiao Ji gave her a soothing look and said, "Crown Princess, if you have anything to say, please speak frankly."

Xie Yao looked at Pei Chen in surprise, only to see that he was also looking at her in surprise.

The two of them looked at each other in the same way: Your Highness completely trusts each other?

But since Xiao Ji had said so, Xie Yao did not hesitate and finished speaking Zhu Xin's words one by one, "I'm afraid there will be problems."

When she finished, Xiao Ji's eyes showed deep thought, while Pei Chen's eyes were filled with admiration, "Crown Princess is very perceptive."

"I heard from my mother that the Imperial Master has been living in seclusion these past few years. Even if my mother spoke, she might not get a single word out, let alone the Zhang family. There must be something wrong."

Although both Zhang's father and son are officials, their talents are limited, and Zhang's father is only a fourth-rank official.

Can a family like this invite the imperial tutor?

Xiao Ji nodded, "Si Nan has also reported this matter, and I have asked him to investigate."

Xie Yao was staring at the Zhang family, and Xiao Ji was staring at the National Master's Mansion, so naturally they could both notice the clues.

Xie Yao's hanging letter finally settled down.

Then Pei Chen said, "Your Highness is wise. I have ordered people to find someone who understands astronomy and water conservancy. I'm afraid it will rain in the south for more than a month."

"If that's really the case... flooding is unavoidable, especially in the Nanzhou area. The terrain is flat and the downstream is narrow, making it easy for water to accumulate and difficult to drain. We need to take precautions early." Pei Chen's voice became a little heavier.

"Fortunately, the dikes in the Nanzhou area were reinforced last year." Pei Chen said.

Xie Yao reminded him in a low voice, "Your Highness, I seem to have heard father mention that the embankment reinforcement last year was supervised by Minister Li?"

Minister Li was not someone else but the imperial concubine's biological brother, the uncle of the Second Prince Xiao Hong and Princess Heyi Xiao Ning.

Xiao Ji and Pei Chen looked at each other, and both of their eyelids twitched.

"This kind of thing..."

"We must investigate quickly." Xiao Ji said, "If there really is a problem, all the people in Nanzhou must be relocated!"

Now that we have entered the flood season and it has been raining continuously, it is definitely too late to repair the dam at this time.

Xiao Ji paused, then added, "We must also be wary of them murdering people and destroying evidence."

This is a serious matter, and I need to go to Nanzhou in person to know the specific situation.

This person must not only be reliable, but also smart and have enough self-protection ability...

"Your Highness, I am willing to go." Pei Chen said immediately without hesitation.

Xiao Ji was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Be careful."

Pei Chen nodded, "Don't worry, Your Highness."

The matter was settled, and Pei Chen was about to leave when he heard a servant's voice outside, "Your Highness, the Second Prince is here."
