Chapter 255 Xiao Ji is treated differently!

Xie Yao was always prepared, but the development of things was completely beyond her expectations.

Xiao Ji held Zhao Zhao steadily in his arms, and even had a gentle smile on his face. He held Zhao Zhao with one hand and teased the child with the other hand, which was clenched by Zhao Zhao's chubby little hand.

The little guy grinned, and the scene looked surprisingly warm.

Xie Yao was even more dazed. This scene... was too familiar. It had clearly happened countless times before.

More importantly, His Highness had clearly forgotten Zhao Zhao and Sui Sui, but at this moment, he was so intimate with Zhao Zhao without any backlash.

Unlike her, if she just got a little closer to Xiao Ji, Xiao Ji would feel unbearable heartache.

Xie Yao used to be able to understand Xiao Ji, but now she felt a little unbalanced. How could His Highness treat her differently?

Or... was His Highness's previous "backlash" a deception to her?

If it was the prince in the past, Xie Yao would not have such doubts at all, but now... it is hard for her not to think too much.

As Xie Yao thought this, her eyes were fixed on Xiao Ji.

Xiao Ji could naturally sense her gaze, and after enduring for a long time, he finally followed her line of sight and met her eyes.

Xie Yao was startled, then quickly lowered her eyes.

But Xiao Ji still saw the confusion in her eyes. What... was she confused about?

Although the couple didn't say anything, there was an undercurrent between them, and when the emperor raised his eyes from Jianing, this was what he saw.

He still had a lot of government affairs to deal with in the palace, so naturally he didn't have time to stay in the Prince's Mansion for long.

At this moment, he only teased Sui Sui for a while, then handed the child back to the wet nurse and said, "I still have government affairs to deal with in the palace."

"Prince, you don't have to worry about the government affairs. Just rest and recuperate."

Xiao Ji immediately thanked him, "Thank you very much for your consideration, father."

The emperor hummed and said, "By the way, I have something else to ask for your opinion."

"Your Majesty, please ask. I will tell you everything I know." Xiao Ji responded immediately.

The emperor said, "The northern border is attacking with unstoppable force, and has taken two cities in a row. Who do you think should be the commander-in-chief to strike back at the northern border and show the power of Great Xia?"

Xiao Ji did not hesitate and answered immediately, "In my humble opinion, this person must be Pei Chen, the Marquis of Zhenbei."

"Oh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows. "I know that the Marquis of Zhenbei has a close relationship with you, but this is a matter of state."

"The Marquis of Zhenbei has guarded the Northern Border for many years. He knows the situation there like the back of his hand. He has also had many minor conflicts with the Northern Border. I think he should be more experienced in dealing with the Northern Border." Xiao Ji explained slowly.

The emperor said: "But the current commander of the Zhenbei Army is the second son of the Wei family."

That's Xiao Ji's cousin.

Xiao Ji said: "I haven't thought about it that much."

The emperor laughed meaningfully and said, "Okay, take good care of yourself." The emperor led Li Dajian out of the prince's mansion.

As soon as he left the Prince's Mansion, he said to Li Dajian, "Tell the waiter of the Wei family what the prince just said."

"Send him another letter. I trust him and am willing to give him a chance."

…

Prince's Mansion.

As soon as the emperor left, Xie Yao's eyes were fixed on Xiao Ji, and she walked towards Xiao Ji step by step.

Xiao Ji lowered his eyes and stepped back subconsciously, his voice still distant, "Crown Princess, what are you doing..."

"Xiao Ji, is it fun to lie to me?" Xie Yao asked.

Xiao Ji: “???”

He looked at Xie Yao in bewilderment, as if he didn't understand what she meant at all. "I never lied to you."

"Didn't you forget about Zhao Zhao?" Xie Yao asked, "Why did you hold Zhao Zhao so skillfully just now without feeling any pain in your heart?"

Xiao Ji's hand subconsciously fell on his chest, and only then did he react belatedly.

yes……

He was just holding that chubby kid, so why didn’t he feel any pain?

"Xiao Ji." Xie Yao's eyes were red, and she looked at Xiao Ji with a choked voice, "Is it fun to tease me? If you do this again, I will really get angry..."

Xiao Ji was at a loss, his lips trembling, and finally he could only stammer, "I'm sorry, I don't know why it's different."

Even though Xie Yao's vision was blurry, she could clearly see the confusion and helplessness in Xiao Ji's eyes.

Xie Yao really wanted to cry.

Although she knew that Xiao Ji was not the type of person who would make her cry just to tease her, she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart because of Xiao Ji's situation just now.

At this moment, this glimmer of hope was shattered.

But Xiao Ji reacted quickly and immediately ordered Si Nan, "Go call Shan Shan."

What they don’t know, Shanshan should know, no, must know!

Xiao Ji didn't dare to look at Xie Yao's tearful eyes. Just one look would make him feel a dull pain in his heart. But his eyes moved uncontrollably towards her, and he felt awkward and uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Xie Yao wiped away her tears and forced a smile, "Your Highness, don't worry about me, I'm fine."

Xiao Ji: “…” My heart hurt even more!

He now really believes that he must have... really been attracted to the person in front of him and had put his heart into her.

Although he couldn't remember anything, his brain was still there, and his body's subconscious reactions and inexplicable heartache could not deceive anyone.

Thinking of this...

Xiao Ji also felt a little upset. How could he... forget everything?

Finally, Sinan brought Shanshan here.

As soon as Shanshan entered the room, Xiao Ji immediately told her about the different situations he faced Zhaozhao and Xie Yao.

Finally asked: "Why is this?"

Shan Shan looked at Xiao Ji for a while, then groaned, stroking her chin while circling around Xiao Ji, "I didn't expect that."

Xiao Ji frowned and was about to speak when Xie Yao said, "Miss Shanshan."

Xiao Ji saw that Shan Shan, who was originally a little careless, suddenly became serious and immediately replied, "I didn't expect Xiao Ji to be such a romantic."

"Although this has never happened, I can roughly guess that... Xiao Ji loves your child because he loves you."

"Because loving them is a derivative of loving you, so after losing the memory of loving you, it is natural to forget loving them."

"Congratulations, Crown Princess. This is a great lover."

Xie Yao: “…”

If Xiao Ji hadn't lost her memory, she would definitely thank Shan Shan. But now...

"So, Your Highness will not feel any discomfort in being close to Zhao Zhao Sui Sui."

Shan Shan nodded affirmatively, "Not bad."

"Crown Princess, you are the only exception to Xiao Ji. How is that not special?"

Xie Yao laughed angrily.

Noticing her cold gaze, Shanshan turned around and left without saying anything, "Well, I've finished asking questions. I'll go back to sleep first..."

The main hall fell silent again.

Xie Yao was just getting annoyed when she heard Xiao Ji ask, "Is Zhao Zhao Suisui...our child?"

Today Si Nan was so busy that he didn't come back until the afternoon. Xiao Ji was just about to ask Si Nan about the past when the emperor came.

So he really didn't know about these things.

Xie Yao: “…get out!”

She is really angry!

Xiao Ji raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose, then silently retreated. When he reached the door, he paused and moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but finally remained silent.

In this situation now...

All he could say now was sorry, and sorry was the most useless thing.

After leaving the main courtyard, Xiao Ji's eyes immediately fell on Si Nan, "Tell me everything about me and the Crown Princess."

"Yes!" Sinan agreed immediately.

He did not resist at all. Instead, he felt sorry for the Crown Princess. It was the Crown Princess who saved His Highness, but His Highness had forgotten about the Crown Princess.

This is really unfair to the Crown Princess!

study.

Si Nan didn't hesitate at all and just told what he knew, but after he said a few words, Xiao Ji's expression became painful, he covered his chest, and fell to one side...

"Your Highness!" Si Nan was shocked and hurried to help Xiao Ji, "Doctor, call the doctor!"

When Xie Yao received the news, she rushed to the study without saying a word.

Even though Xiao Ji was unconscious, his brows were still furrowed and the pain was visible on his face.

Xie Yao's heart instantly lifted up, and her frown was full of worry, "What happened? Why did His Highness faint for no reason?"

Si Nan looked remorseful and lowered his head, "It was His Highness who asked me about your past with the Crown Princess. I only said a few words and Your Highness..."

Xie Yao looked grimly at the palace doctor, "How is His Highness?"

The court doctor took back his hand from Xie Yao's wrist and said gently, "Your Highness, this is a coma caused by angina pectoris."

After a moment's silence, the court doctor said, "Your Highness has just woken up and is weak. Some things cannot be rushed, otherwise it may hurt His Highness's body."

Xie Yao took a deep breath and looked at Si Nan, "If His Highness asks again, don't say too much. Your Highness's health is the most important thing."

Si Nan hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Yes, Crown Princess."

The court physician prescribed some tonic medicine for Xiao Ji and then left the study.

Xie Yao looked at the unconscious Xiao Ji, pursed her lips and stood beside the bed with a complicated expression. She naturally didn't want to be forgotten by Xiao Ji, and hoped that Xiao Ji would remember her soon, but...

Your Highness's health is more important.

At least that's the case for now.

Xie Yao saw with her own eyes that Xiao Ji's fingers moved, and he was about to wake up. She took two steps back and said, "Take good care of His Highness."

"Won't the Crown Princess wait for His Highness to wake up?" Si Nan asked hurriedly.

Xie Yao shook her head, "No."

As soon as Xie Yao left, Si Nan immediately looked at Xiao Ji on the bed, only to see that he had already opened his eyes, "Your Highness..."

Xiao Ji sat up slowly and said, "Continue."

"Your Highness!" Si Nan knelt beside the bed, looking shocked. "The court doctor said that you are weak. The most important thing now is to take good care of your body and not be exposed to too much stimulation..."

"Speak." Xiao Ji's cold eyes fell on Si Nan, and his voice did not allow for any discussion.

Si Nan lowered his head, "The Crown Princess also instructed us not to rush things."

Xiao Ji laughed angrily, "You are a lonely person."

Si Nan argued, "But His Highness has previously instructed that the Crown Princess's opinion is your opinion."

Xiao Ji stared at Si Nan, confirming the truth of this sentence, and even had some self-doubt for a moment.

He used to... actually like the Crown Princess to such an extent?

Thinking of this, he covered his heart with his hands again, and the pain made his body curl up.

"Your Highness." Si Nan was anxious and helpless. "You have forgotten that the Crown Princess saved you. Even if you are doing this for the Crown Princess, you still have to take care of your health."

After Si Nan finished speaking, Xiao Ji's brows knitted tighter, and his expression looked even more painful...

Si Nan noticed this and then shut up, not daring to say anything more.

He was afraid that if he continued talking, His Highness would vomit blood.

Fortunately, Xiao Ji finally calmed down and stopped asking questions. Si Nan quickly went out and came back with a bowl of medicine. "Your Highness, this is a tonic medicine..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Ji took the medicine, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, then stood up and walked out.

"Your Highness, where are you going?" Si Nan followed immediately.

Xiao Ji said: "Go see Zhao Zhao and..." His voice paused and he didn't say the word "Jianing" in the end.

Si Nan quickly reminded, "The little princess's nickname is Sui Sui."

"And Suisui." Xiao Ji said as he left the study.

Xiao Ji went to see the child, and Xie Yao naturally received the news. She was slightly startled when she heard it, and hummed, "Very good."

Although His Highness doesn't remember her, the fact that he can think of the child is also a progress.

"Crown Princess, aren't you going?" Zhu Qing asked in a low voice.

Xie Yao shook her head, "I won't go. His Highness is weak, let him recuperate first." She had thought that things were better now, at least there was some foundation.

Now I realize that not only is the situation not better than before, but there is an extra hurdle.

Whenever His Highness thinks about it too much, he either gets a headache or a heartache. This is simply the biggest obstacle for her and His Highness to develop feelings again.

Thinking of this, Xie Yao felt a headache.

However, Xie Yao soon stopped thinking about this matter because Zhu Qing sent the latest news that the emperor appointed Wei Er, the current general of the Zhenbei Army, as the main general to fight against the Northern Frontier, and led the Zhenbei Army to fight against the Northern Frontier.

In addition, the emperor also summoned Wei Chanxuan into the palace.

Xie Yao secretly became alert and immediately ordered Zhu Qing, "Tell Concubine Shu to pay more attention."

Although Wei Chan is also the niece of Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu should be grateful only to the late queen. Xie Yao did not think it was redundant to give such a reminder.

She would rather be redundant than have anything happen to Wei Chan.

Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Wei Chan was brought into the palace by Li Dajian, "Wei Chan pays respect to His Majesty."

The emperor raised his eyes from the memorial, glanced at Wei Chan who was kneeling in the hall, and said, "No need to be polite, stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wei Chan thanked him, then stood up respectfully and stood aside.

"Thanks to you for reminding me about the incident in the northern border this time." The emperor asked, "Do you want any reward?"

Wei Chan's eyes flashed with sarcasm. She had rushed into the palace to remind the emperor, but this matter still delayed a lot of time...

"To reply to your majesty, this is Wei Chan's responsibility, and Wei Chan dare not take credit for it."

The emperor was very satisfied with this and nodded immediately, saying, "Yes, it is good that you think so."

"Today I have issued an order to appoint your second brother as the commander of the Zhenbei Army to fight against the northern border. You should write a letter to him to comfort him."

"Yes." The emperor was not discussing anything, so Wei Chan had no choice but to agree.

At a glance from the emperor, Eunuch Li took Wei Chan to a side hall to write a letter.

As soon as they left the Yangxin Palace, Li Dajian whispered in Wei Chan's ear, "Miss Wei San, today the Crown Prince advised that the commander-in-chief to fight against the northern border must be the Marquis of Zhenbei."

"But your majesty believes in General Wei, and hopes that General Wei will not disappoint your majesty."
