Chapter 102: Filling the Prince's shoes
Xiao Ji did not attend the court.
When the news came, he was teaching Xie Yao her martial arts skills.
Xie Yao had learned the basics very well by following Lin Xia, so he was responsible for instructing her on some essentials to add the icing on the cake for the Crown Princess.
I heard that the emperor fainted.
Xiao Ji and Xie Yao did not delay and immediately set off for the palace.
In the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
All the concubines in the harem except Concubine Li have arrived, and the princes and princesses are also there. Only the others are standing, and the second prince is kneeling.
Concubine Shu was sitting in front of the dragon bed, carefully feeding medicine to the emperor.
Seeing Xiao Ji and Xie Yao, the emperor's eyes immediately fell on them, "Get out."
"The prince stays."
The Yangxin Palace was immediately emptied.
The emperor looked at Xiao Ji with complicated eyes, but his tone was very sure, "You did it on purpose."
Xiao Ji did not deny it.
What the Crown Princess meant was what he meant.
When the emperor met Xiao Ji's dark eyes, he felt indescribable tiredness.
He had deliberately ignored his son before, but now... he had to focus his attention on him.
"You should know what I mean."
The Nanzhou corruption case ended with the Li family, which was both an explanation to the people of the world and a warning to Xiao Hong.
He asked Pei Chen and Xiao Ji to stop.
But obviously, Xiao Ji didn't take his words to heart, "For your Crown Princess?"
Just by saying the three words "Crown Princess", the emperor's tone could hardly conceal his murderous intent.
Thanks Yao.
He must kill him!
Xiao Ji's eyes flashed with danger. He looked directly at the emperor and said sarcastically, "I wonder if you still remember that when the epidemic broke out in Nanzhou, I was in Nanzhou City."
Xiao Hong could attack him but not allow him to fight back?
Oh!
The emperor stiffened slightly.
He ignored this matter, firstly because he was used to ignoring Xiao Ji for so many years, and secondly because Xiao Ji was not infected with the disease.
"Father."
Xiao Ji continued: "I will protect my wife."
The emperor's face suddenly turned pale, and then he became even angrier.
In his heart, he only has one wife.
Was Xiao Ji mocking him by saying this?
But if it wasn't for Xiao Ji, how could his wife have gotten into trouble? It was all Xiao Ji who brought bad luck to her!
"roll!"
The emperor subconsciously ignored it, and when he thought of it now, he no longer had the resentment and confidence he had at the beginning.
"I'll take my leave."
Xiao Ji was not afraid of angering the emperor, so he said something perfunctorily and turned away.
Ignored for years.
He doesn't care about the emperor.
As soon as Xiao Ji came out of the Yangxin Palace, everyone's eyes turned to him, but they could not hear what was said before.
But at the end, the emperor's strong and powerful "get out" was heard clearly by everyone.
Xiao Ji walked past everyone and went directly to Xie Yao, "Crown Princess, father has mercy on us and allowed us to return home earlier so that we don't have to take care of you."
Everyone: “…”
Is this called mercy?
However, as Li Dajian testified, it is true that Your Majesty does not need the Crown Prince to take care of him when he is sick.
The imperial physician advised His Majesty not to get angry.
If the prince is asked to take care of the sick, I'm afraid...
Xiao Ji kept his word and really took Xie Yao out of the palace.
In the carriage.
Xie Yao moved closer to Xiao Ji, stretched out her soft little hand to comfort him on his chest, "Why is your Majesty so angry? I'm afraid the censor will impeach your Highness tomorrow..."
Xiao Ji grabbed her hand, held it to his lips and kissed it, "It's okay."
Xie Yao understood quickly, "Is it for me?"
"Yaoyao..." Xiao Ji's eyes were somewhat helpless. His Crown Princess was too smart, which was not always a good thing.
Easy to guess.
Xie Yao looked up at Xiao Ji seriously and asked, "Your Highness... have you never doubted me?"
"Did I not show it clearly enough?" This actually caused the Crown Princess to have such doubts.
Xie Yao blinked.
It was because Xiao Ji had never even doubted it that she would have such a question.
She had been prepared for Xiao Ji's confusion and suspicion, and had thought about how to act pitiful and pathetic, but she didn't expect... that the prince would accept it much faster than she did.
He even arranged all the affairs in a meticulous and proper manner, taking care of her in every detail...
If she wasn't sure that Xiao Ji didn't have any big ambitions, she would have suspected that she was being used.
"Thank you, Yao."
Xiao Ji's expression was serious, his eyes were earnest, and he called out Xie Yao's full name, "I have never doubted you."
Xie Yao's heart moved, and some inexplicable emotions emerged in her heart, making her feel a little flustered, as if something was about to get out of her control.
This feeling made her a little uneasy.
But she quickly buried her head in Xiao Ji's chest, her voice soft, "Yaoyao believes in His Highness, Your Highness is the best."
Xiao Ji put his arm around Xie Yao, his palm stroking her back soothingly.
He could understand Yaoyao's temptation and inquiries.
His daughter Yaoyao has been neglected by the Xie family since she was young, so it is completely understandable that she feels insecure.
It doesn't matter.
Now that he is here, he will make up for everything.
In the future, he and Yaoyao will have a child who will stay with Yaoyao on his behalf.
Soon, the emperor ordered the punishment of the second prince Xiao Hong.
Xiao Hong was under house arrest.
The three officials were in charge, with Princess He Yi assisting, and the matter was thoroughly investigated.
Pei Chen even handed over the evidence, but the emperor still wanted to investigate thoroughly. The meaning is self-evident.
But when Xie Yao and Xiao Ji heard that Princess He Yi was also involved in this matter, they knew that Xiao Hong was finished.
Even if they didn't push him, Xiao Ning would not let Xiao Hong go.
Brother and sister killing each other...it's exciting just to think about it.
Xie Yao clicked her tongue and asked someone to keep an eye on the matter while she continued reading.
There is no way. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been paying close attention to her studies recently. If she doesn't study hard, she will be "punished".
The most important thing is that Xie Yao clearly felt that the prince really wanted to teach her something, and she had made great progress in recent days.
"Prince, Princess."
At this moment, the steward of the Prince's Mansion heard an embarrassed voice from outside, "There are many people outside... saying that it is His Majesty's intention."
Xie Yao raised her eyes and met Xiao Ji's gaze, both of them had confusion in their eyes.
What's the meaning?
"His Majesty has ordered several young ladies to stay at the Crown Prince's Mansion for a while, saying that they are accompanying the Crown Princess..."
Understood.
Before Xie Yao's expression changed, Xiao Ji's face darkened.
The emperor's real intention is not to drink!
But since the emperor had issued the decree himself, Xiao Ji and Xie Yao naturally could not refuse entry to the palace. After all, they were not ready to rebel.
Xie Yao and Xiao Ji went in person to meet the daughters of the rich family arranged by the emperor.
There weren’t many people, but they were all acquaintances.
"Big sister, long time no see." The woman standing in the front with a proud look on her face was Xie Yuru.
Xie Yuru was dressed up beautifully, and she did not forget to look at the prince shyly in front of Xie Yao.
She had finally gotten this opportunity to enter the Prince's Mansion openly, and she had only one goal: to please the Prince, and then stay and replace Xie Yao.
She smiled like a flower, raised her chin slightly, and said with a proud tone, "Don't worry, big sister. During this period of time, I will definitely listen to your majesty's instructions and share your worries."
Serving the prince on behalf of the elder sister.
How can it not be considered as sharing the worry?
