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

The two of them had dinner separately.

Xiao Ji felt like vomiting when he smelled meat.

Xie Yao wanted to eat vegetarian food with him, but Xiao Ji was reluctant. While Xie Yao was eating, Xiao Ji went to take a bath and change clothes.

Xie Yao's appetite has improved a lot recently.

Before it got dark, the couple took a stroll in the garden of the Prince's Mansion to help digest their food.

"Your Highness, what is going on in the Yangxin Palace today?" Xie Yao asked proactively.

Xiao Ji's expression was cold. "The Li family's conviction is a fact, but... Your Majesty must protect Xiao Hong."

The evidence is all there.

But the emperor wanted to protect him.

That's his own son.

Xie Yao couldn't say whether she was disappointed or not. When she saw Xiao Hong at the ferry today, she knew that this was expected.

"Also," Xiao Ji pondered for a moment, then said, "Today, Pei Chen said that the epidemic... might be related to Hu Yanyuan."

Since the last time Hu Yanyuan took advantage of Xiao Ning's plan to plot against Pei Chen, he directly plotted against Xiao Ning.

They knew that Hu Yanyuan was not an easy person to deal with.

Xie Yao frowned, she was thinking about something else.

If the epidemic is really related to Hu Yanyuan, then... what about the previous life?

She remembered the treatment prescription for the plague in her previous life and had also looked at the one in this life. There was not much difference between the two.

In other words, it is very likely the same disease...

"Yaoyao?" Not hearing Xie Yao's response, Xiao Ji looked at her sideways with doubt in his eyes.

He remembered the last time Xiao Ning plotted against Pei Chen...

The Crown Princess had asked for his opinion in an ambiguous way earlier.

Xie Yao retracted her thoughts, "If it really has something to do with him, I wonder who he is working with."

Suddenly.

Xiao Ji stopped and looked at Xie Yao, with a dangerous look in his eyes, "Yaoyao...is there anything you want to say to me?"

Ok?

Xie Yao's heart tightened, and she thought about it in her mind, then slowly shook her head, "No, no."

Xiao Ji pursed his lips, his face clearly showing some displeasure.

The two looked at each other.

After a long while, Xie Yao slowly reached out her hand and gently tugged at Xiao Ji's sleeve, "Your Highness..."

She is showing weakness.

The anger that Xiao Ji had been holding in his heart instantly dissipated. He looked helpless and asked, "Xiao Hong plotted against you, why didn't you tell me?"

Xie Yao suddenly realized!

She had been plotted against by the imperial concubine and Xiao Hong in the palace before, and she had plotted against Xiao Hong in return to embarrass him.

She really forgot to say it.

Seeing her expression, Xiao Ji became even angrier. Such a thing... could be forgotten?

"Your Highness, I didn't suffer any loss." Xie Yao threw herself directly into Xiao Ji's arms, hooked her hands tightly around his waist, and spoke softly and coquettishly.

"Besides, there's an epidemic in Nanzhou, and I don't want Your Highness to be distracted, so I just...forgot about it. Your Highness, please don't be angry, okay?"

Xiao Ji's anger was not directed at Xie Yao, but when he heard her words, his heart softened.

"I'm not angry with you." Xiao Ji looked helpless, and his tone softened. "Yaoyao, it's me who failed to protect you."

Xie Yao stood on tiptoe and kissed Xiao Ji's chin, "Then I won't be angry with Your Highness, and Your Highness won't be angry either."

To comfort the child.

Xiao Ji didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He pinched Xie Yao's nose and asked, "Is it about the Wanshou Festival?"

"Yeah." Xie Yao nodded, "I..."

She originally wanted to say something, something high-sounding like she wanted to share the worries of the Imperial Concubine and His Highness.

But when she met Xiao Ji's eyes, she said inexplicably: "I want to do it."

No reason, just thinking.

"Okay." She didn't say anything, and Xiao Ji didn't ask, only asking: "What do you want me to do?"

Xie Yao smiled brightly, raised her hands and hooked them around Xiao Ji's neck, "Then... please carry me back to the house, Your Highness."

Xiao Ji picked up Xie Yao by the waist, turned around and walked back to the house.

Xie Yao had just slept during the day.

But the two of them made a fuss until half the night, and she went to bed first.

Xiao Ji put on his clothes and went out, standing in front of the main courtyard. "Tell your Majesty's people that the Imperial Preceptor and the Imperial Concubine are old acquaintances."

Si Nan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Your Highness, can you please send the evidence along with it?"

"No need." Xiao Ji looked towards the direction of the palace, "He will investigate it himself."

Things that are found after great difficulty are more convincing than things that are given to you lightly by others.

What he wanted was to arouse the emperor's suspicion.

The next day.

Xiao Ji escorted Xie Yao into the palace and met Pei Chen who also entered the palace. The two walked together.

Xiao Ji's gaze fell on Pei Chen and he said, "Leave no one of the Li family alive."

Pei Chen was slightly startled, "What happened to you, Xiao Hong?"

This wasn't my attitude yesterday.

After all, for the sake of the imperial concubine and the second prince, the emperor was willing to be lenient with them.

Since the Li family was imprisoned, the imperial concubine has fainted from crying five times. After all, they have been by his majesty's side for many years, and they can all see that his majesty has softened his heart.

Xiao Ji shook his head, "It's not me, it's the Crown Princess."

Pei Chen's expression changed immediately, "That's damn it!"

Xiao Ji raised the corners of his lips slightly, "Yes."

Although Xie Yao had fought back against the last plot and made Xiao Hong pay the price and lose face.

But what Yaoyao did was Yaoyao's own doing.

What he did was his duty as a husband.

After the two finished talking, they quickly separated, and Xiao Ji went to the Yanx Palace to pick up Xie Yao.

Xie Yao came out of the Yanxi Palace with a smile on her face. She had a pleasant conversation with Concubine Shu. But because of this, she finally remembered why she felt that Concubine Shu's eyebrows and eyes looked familiar.

She looks at it every day, but it doesn't look familiar to her.

Shufei's eyebrows and eyes...are quite similar to Xiao Ji's.

She guessed that it should be like the late queen.

"Your Highness."

Seeing Xiao Ji, Xie Yao suppressed her thoughts, took a few quick steps and held his hand.

Xiao Ji could only see Xie Yao in his eyes. A faint smile appeared in his slightly lowered eyes. "Alright?"

"Yeah." Xie Yao nodded, "Let's go."

The two turned and left, walking a few steps side by side. Xiao Ji suddenly felt someone was looking at him, so he turned around and looked—

But saw nothing.

"Your Highness?"

Xiao Ji turned around and said, "Nothing, let's go."

At this moment, a figure slowly walked out from behind the gate of Yanx Palace. It was the now favored Concubine Shu.

She slowly turned around and walked towards the Yanxi Palace.

……

Pei Chen arrested a bunch of people for the Nanzhou incident, and after returning to Beijing, he also made a special report in the court.

The young man was stubborn and wanted to kill the Li family.

There were many people in the court who fanned the flames. Seeing that the Li family was really about to collapse, countless people took advantage of the situation.

The Li family was in a situation where everyone was pushing them down.

After the imperial concubine fainted from crying again, Xiao Hong entered the palace to see her. He paced back and forth in the Weiyang Palace anxiously, "Mother, what should we do?"

The imperial concubine's eyes were red and she was in a state of depression. Her power had recently been taken away, and something had happened to the Li family...

I really cried.

"Perhaps this is an opportunity." The imperial concubine said thoughtfully, "Hong'er, contact the court officials and have them all report your uncle."

"No matter what the accusation is, just make it up. The more exaggerated, the better... Let everyone in the court report him."

"Mother!" Xiao Hong frowned.

If he did so, his father would definitely think he was cold-hearted...

The imperial concubine thought he was worried about his uncle, and a look of relief appeared on her face as she said, "Putting oneself in a desperate situation and then escaping, perhaps this will open a way for your uncle to survive."
