Chapter 114: Just a bastard, is he worthy?

The visitor from the palace was very assertive and brought a carriage with him, as if Xie Yao had to enter the palace.

Xie Yao subconsciously looked at Xiao Ji.

Was it that what His Highness did last night was exposed, and Concubine Li came to take revenge?

No, it shouldn't.

Besides revenge, there is another reason why Concubine Li can be so strong: there is someone behind her.

It's the emperor!

Xie Yao retracted her gaze and lowered her eyes slightly. Her speculation on the night of the incident came true. She might have been attacked with the emperor's tacit approval.

Now...are you suspicious of her?

After all, he is an emperor, so he is very sensitive.

"good."

Xie Yao agreed and said, "Please allow me to change my clothes."

"Yaoyao." Xiao Ji immediately followed her and said, "I will follow you into the palace."

Xie Yao did not refuse.

She entered the main room, changed her clothes, and found some powder, which she gently and delicately applied to the wounds on her fingertips.

It is better to be safe than sorry.

Xiao Ji followed along the whole process and whispered, "Don't be afraid, Yaoyao."

"You'll be fine."

Xiao Ji and Xie Yao entered the palace together, but as soon as they entered the palace, Xiao Ji was asked to leave by the emperor, while Xie Yao was taken to the Weiyang Palace.

Concubine Li cried bitterly because of Xiao Hong's matter. Although she had dressed carefully in order to meet Xie Yao, her face still couldn't hide her haggardness.

In fact, she didn't know why His Majesty asked her to meet Xie Yao.

Just do as you are told.

At this moment, he was very perfunctory, "I heard that the Crown Princess was attacked and was very scared. Are the children okay?"

Xie Yao said gently: "Thank you for your concern, everything is fine."

"That's good."

The two chatted for a while, and the palace became quiet. Concubine Li waved her hand and said, "By the way, your attack is a big deal, and you have royal blood in your body. Now that you are in the palace, let the imperial physician take a good look at you."

After Concubine Li finished speaking, a palace maid led the imperial physician into the palace.

Obviously he came prepared.

Xie Yao had no choice but to accept. The imperial physician quickly said, "The Crown Princess was frightened and a little uneasy, but fortunately the fetus is stable."

"Just take the pregnancy-maintaining medicine for a few days and you'll be fine."

The imperial physician replied respectfully.

Xie Yao naturally didn’t believe these words. When she heard the word “medicine”, she became alert.

Although she was a fertility saint and was not afraid of those medicines, she did not want to be tricked by others.

Concubine Li nodded, glanced at Xie Yao, and then said, "Does the Crown Princess have any other injuries? If so, please tell us. Don't be afraid to seek medical treatment."

Xie Yao lowered her eyes slightly, "Thank you for your concern, Madam. Fortunately, I was protected by the maid, so I was not injured."

Princess Li asked the female doctor to check them one by one, and only then did she feel relieved.

I don't know why Your Majesty specifically instructed this matter.

etc.

Concubine Li finally reacted and bit her lower lip lightly.

Your Majesty is concerned about Xie Yao and the child! But your majesty should know that Xiao Ji is doomed to have no descendants and cannot have children.

Why care about a bastard?

Could it be...

For the sake of that bitch, Your Majesty is willing to follow Xiao Ji's wishes and acknowledge the bastard in Xie Yao's belly?

When she thought of this possibility, Concubine Li felt as if there was an unknown fire burning in her heart.

Just a bastard.

Are you worthy?!

That bitch has been dead for twenty years, but her ghost is still lingering around!

As soon as Xie Yao raised her eyes, she saw Concubine Li's eyes fixed on her abdomen. Concubine Li's expression was distorted, and her eyes were full of murderous intent and hatred...

Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Xiao Ji was summoned to the Yangxin Palace. The emperor looked serious and asked, "I heard that the Crown Princess was attacked. How is she doing?"

Xiao Ji was also alert in his heart and answered them one by one.

The emperor nodded, and soon Li Dajian came in and whispered something in the emperor's ear.

The emperor nodded slightly, and his eyes softened slightly as he looked at Xiao Ji.

This shows suspicion on him.

Xiao Ji lowered his eyelids and pretended not to notice.

The emperor waved his hand, signaling Li Dajian to leave. When only the father and son were left in the palace, he asked, "What do you think of what I said last time?"

What the emperor meant was, of course, that the royal bloodline must not be mixed. If Xiao Ji insisted, he could keep Xie Yao, who was "unfaithful to her husband."

But they could not allow the child to be born.

Xiao Ji pursed his lips. He had never told the emperor about Xie Yao's physique.

The reason was simple: he didn't trust the emperor.

But Xie Yao and the child... he wants both.

Since the emperor brought up the same old question again, he answered in the same way. He raised his eyes and looked directly into the emperor's eyes, "I can live another two years."

emperor:"……"

He saw Xiao Ji's eyebrows and eyes that were similar to those of his old friend, and his firm and stubborn eyes, and was dazed for a moment.

How long has it been since I saw such a look...

Since childhood, Xiao Ji's eyes have been like a pool of stagnant water, without any waves. Now... is it because of Xie Yao?

The emperor couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, he just felt it was very complicated, but because of that look, he was shaken.

Xiao Ji and Xie Yao entered the palace once and left quickly.

Although Xiao Ji knew that Xie Yao was fine, he still checked her carefully from head to toe.

Xie Yao turned around in front of Xiao Ji and said softly, "Your Highness, I'm fine."

Just then, a carriage slowly drove over.

Xie Yao looked over and said, "Is that... Song Wenbo's carriage?"

Xiao Ji nodded, "Your Majesty summons you."

The couple just returned to the Prince's Mansion.

Si Nan immediately stepped forward with a serious expression, "Your Highness, we have a clue."

"After leaving the Second Prince's Mansion today, the secret guards went to the fur shop in the east of the city. Although their whereabouts were very covert, I followed them all the way and still found some clues."

"I have already asked someone to keep an eye on the fur shop."

Xie Yao asked: "Is it related to the people who went to the Second Prince's Mansion during the Nanzhou incident?"

Xiao Ji nodded, "If the epidemic in Nanzhou was really not caused by Xiao Hong, it might have something to do with this person."

Xie Yao's expression also became serious. This person has been hiding in the dark and has never been exposed. This is very dangerous!

Just then, the voice of a servant was heard outside.

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess, Old Madam Zhao, Madam Zhao, and Miss Zhao are here."

Just as Xie Yao stood up, another voice came, "Mrs. Xie, Second Miss Xie, and Third Miss Xie are here too."

As relatives, they arrived at the door together.

Xie Yao naturally couldn't not see any of them.

But her voice was still a little cold, "Please come in."

Although the two families are relatives, they are clearly distinguished from each other.

Seeing Xie Yao, Madam Zhao, who was supported by Zhao Ying, stepped forward quickly, took Xie Yao's hand and looked her up and down, "I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad you're okay."

Knowing that the Crown Princess had an accident on the way back from the Zhao family, the Zhao family was terrified. Fortunately, the Crown Prince's Mansion soon sent a message saying that Xie Yao was fine.

Even so, Madam Zhao still wanted to come and see it in person to feel at ease.

Xie Yao helped Madam Zhao into the house and sat down. "Thank you for your worry, Grandma. Yaoyao and the child are fine."

Old Madam Zhao let out a sigh of relief.

Xie Yujiao sat on the armchair, holding her pregnant belly, looking at Xie Yao with pity and mockery in her eyes.

"Despite the huge commotion that night, my sister's children were all safe and sound... It's obvious that God blesses my sister."

If the bastard in Xie Yao's belly just died, it would be such a bargain for her!

It’s better to wait until she’s a little older, when Xie Yao is happy and thinks she’s on cloud nine, then reveal the truth to her. That will be satisfying!
