Chapter 137 Are you angry?

"Yaoyao."

Xiao Ji suddenly turned around and saw Xie Yao's expression clearly.

He walked over quickly, but then thought of what he had just said and stopped, not wanting to smother Xie Yao.

"Your Highness?"

Xiao Ji said: "I am very fast."

Xiao Ji took a bath and changed his clothes. All the original lingering smells were washed away, leaving only the scent of bath beans that Xie Yao was used to.

It's dinner time.

Xie Yao held the jade chopsticks, "Your Highness, today..."

She just spoke, then shut up again.

"Yaoyao?"

Xiao Ji glanced at him sideways, with concern in his clear eyes.

Xie Yao forced a smile and shook her head gently at him, "No..."

Xiao Ji placed the back of his hand on her forehead, confirmed the temperature was normal, and then touched her wrist and palm, "But what's wrong? Is the child bothering you?"

Babies in the sixth month of pregnancy are very lively and noisy, not to mention they are twins.

Xie Yao wanted to shake her head again, but after thinking for a while, she said, "I didn't make trouble for her. I just feel a little uncomfortable."

"Maybe just a break will do."

It’s not a big deal, I just feel a little depressed.

She had no appetite for dinner.

Xiao Ji did not force it. He asked the court doctor to come and check to make sure that there was nothing wrong before he felt relieved.

"Your Highness, please go and do your work." Xie Yao rested her head on the bed, "I'm fine."

Xiao Ji wanted to say he was not busy, but Si Nan came from outside to report that Pei Chen had arrived.

"I'll be there soon." Xiao Ji tucked the quilt for Xie Yao, bent down and kissed her forehead, then stood up and walked away.

study.

Pei Chen's face was dark. "Your Highness, when I entered the palace today, someone took Miss Xie away directly."

"It was delivered to the Second Prince's residence."

Xiao Ji had heard Si Nan mention this on the way back home. "Who is it?"

"Empress Li." Pei Chen said, "It's hers."

"Could it be the Xie family..." Pei Chen's voice was a little hesitant. After all, the Xie family was the Crown Princess's maternal family.

Xiao Ji shook his head gently, "Miss Xie was arrested this time, but she saved a lot of people."

Scare away the thief who was about to be caught and cut off the clue.

Then his reputation was damaged, he was taken away and jumped into the Second Prince's palace... everything happened in just one day.

Pei Chen understood quickly, "Your Highness means that Third Miss Xie is very likely a pawn?"

Xiao Ji shook his head, "It's just a guess."

"Didn't we find out last time that this matter was related to Duke Dingguo's Mansion? Keep keeping an eye on Duke Dingguo's Mansion."

Pei Chen said: "Yes!"

After seeing Pei Chen off, Xiao Ji returned to the main house.

It was a dark night, with faint light coming in from the lanterns under the eaves. Xiao Ji lit a candle from a distance.

He walked softly to the bed and sat down.

He didn't rush to go to bed. He turned sideways to Xie Yao, looking down and busying himself with something.

The only sound in the room was the sound of burning candles. Xiao Ji looked up at the sleeping Xie Yao from time to time, with the corners of his lips raised.

Xie Yao didn't sleep for long.

As soon as she woke up and turned around, Xiao Ji immediately stuffed the things in his hand into the cabinet beside the bed.

He stood up and helped her up quickly.

After Xie Yao changed her clothes, she became more awake. Her voice was a little hoarse after waking up, "Your Highness, are you done with your work?"

"Yes." Xiao Ji nodded, "I have someone stewing chicken soup on the hot stove. Yaoyao, would you like some chicken noodle soup?"

Xie Yao was really hungry.

The maid quickly brought the fragrant chicken noodle soup. Xiao Ji and Xie Yao shared a bowl of it, feeling very warmed both physically and mentally.

"I know everything that happened today." There was still a hint of pride in Xiao Ji's voice.

Even when he was away, Xie Yao did a great job.

in this way……

He can also rest assured.

Xie Yao then followed Xiao Ji's words and asked, "Where did your Highness go today?"

So I went to see the doctor.

But the result...

Xiao Ji didn't want Xie Yao, who was pregnant, to worry about his health, so he said, "It's Pei Chen's business..."

Xie Yao lowered her eyes slightly, hummed without comment, then turned and lay down with her back to Xiao Ji.

"Your Highness, it's getting late. Go to bed early."

Xiao Ji felt that Xie Yao was not in a good mood...

"Yaoyao."

He called out, but Xie Yao ignored him and pretended to be asleep.

Xiao Ji paused for a while, then took out the things that had been thrown into the cabinet and continued to work.

A dagger.

A piece of peach branch.

But this time, perhaps because he was paying attention to Xie Yao and was absent-minded, the dagger that could cut through iron like mud cut his fingertips.

It doesn't hurt.

but……

Xiao Ji's eyes turned, he frowned, and shouted briefly.

Xie Yao turned sideways and looked over.

I saw Xiao Ji pinching the fingertips of his left hand with his right hand, and a round and full drop of blood stood on his fingertips.

It was trembling, as if it would roll down in the next second.

"Your Highness!"

Xie Yao frowned, quickly stood up, and hurriedly took out the embroidered handkerchief to wipe the blood from his wound.

Seeing this, Xiao Ji slightly loosened his right hand, which was tightly clenching the fingertips of his left hand.

He knows martial arts, so even if he missed, it would only be a minor wound. If he didn't squeeze hard, how could it be so horrifying?

"Someone come!"

Xie Yao held Xiao Ji's hand, gently wiped the blood with an embroidered handkerchief, and shouted to the outside.

Zhu Qing and others immediately went in, found the golden wound medicine at Xie Yao's request, and quickly retreated at Xiao Ji's signal.

The wound is not big.

After Xie Yao rubbed it several times, the bleeding stopped. She carefully poured the golden wound medicine on his wound.

Xiao Ji sat obediently the whole time, his eyes fixed on Xie Yao without blinking.

Xie Yao knelt on the edge of the bed, her long black hair loose and smooth.

The candlelight reflected on her porcelain-white cheek. Her eyes fell on his wound. Her eyelids drooped slightly, and her long, curled eyelashes trembled slightly.

The soft lips were pursed into a line and the little face was tense.

She is very worried about him.

The corners of Xiao Ji's lips curled up.

Xie Yao raised her eyes and saw that he was still smiling, and immediately glared at him, "Your Highness!"

Xiao Ji raised his right hand and put the thing in his hand into Xie Yao's hair.

Hair is smooth and soft.

The thing slid down her long hair and fell onto the soft quilt.

Xie Yao glanced sideways and was slightly stunned.

A hairpin made of peach wood caught the eye.

The wooden hairpin is carved into the shape of peach blossoms, which are extremely lifelike. The style is not very novel, but it is unique.

You can tell at first glance that it was done with real care.

"Your Highness?"

Xie Yao's voice rose slightly, her beautiful eyes widened, and she looked at Xiao Ji holding the hairpin, "This..."

Could it be that His Highness made this himself?

Xiao Ji lowered his eyes, and the tips of his ears turned light red. "It's my first time, so it's not very good. Yaoyao, you..."

"I like it very much." Xie Yao's original depression seemed to have completely dissipated, and she gave Xiao Ji a bright smile.

Then he looked at Xiao Ji with some distress, "I feel your kindness, but I don't want you to get hurt."

Being looked at like this by Xie Yao, Xiao Ji felt his head getting hot, and he said, "It's just a minor injury, it doesn't hurt."

then……

The two looked at each other.

Xiao Ji coughed and added, "It doesn't hurt now."

Xie Yao saw through it but didn't say anything, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
