Chapter 206 I used to call him Brother Chen
Prince's Mansion.
It was not until after dinner that Xie Yao and Xiao Ji sent away all the guests from the Prince's Mansion.
Pei Chen personally sent Princess Yongle back, while Wei Chan and Zhao Ying stayed in the Prince's Mansion.
Xie Yao was also feeling tired today. She sat lazily on the armchair. Xiao Ji stood behind her and gently massaged her shoulders.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Ying and Wei Chan looked at each other in silence.
"Your Highness."
Xie Yao blushed slightly and held Xiao Ji's hand, "You sit down too."
Xiao Ji held her hand in return and said gently, "You've worked hard today, Crown Princess."
Xie Yao shook her head.
Everything went according to her established plan, and it wasn't hard... really.
After they sat for a while, Pei Chen came back with Si Bei.
Si Bei knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and said, "I have failed to do my job well. Your Highness, the Crown Princess, please punish me."
"When I rushed to Xie's house, the house was empty, but I did find traces of her in the empty yard."
Si Bei took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and presented it to Xiao Ji with both hands, "I asked the court doctor to check it. There is no problem with this paper."
Shan Shan is a good Gu, and her whole body is poisonous. Naturally, the things she left behind cannot be touched casually.
Xiao Ji took the paper.
There were five words written on it in a ferocious and dog-like manner: This is just the beginning.
Xiao Ji's brows were filled with anger, and he regretted his carelessness last time again.
With such a person hiding behind the scenes and waiting for an opportunity to attack the Crown Princess...how can he sleep peacefully?
Xie Yao was sitting next to Xiao Ji, so she naturally saw the contents of the paper. She was more calm and said, "Your Highness, don't worry too much. There is good news."
Xiao Ji glanced at her sideways.
"At least judging from today's Mother-Child Gu, she won't take my life right away."
He wanted to take control of her life and use it as a bargaining chip.
"Yaoyao." Xiao Ji's voice sounded quite helpless. How could this be good news?
Xie Yao pursed her lips and smiled, "When an enemy comes, we will fight him with our troops; when a flood comes, we will block it with earth. I stay in the mansion most of the time, so Your Highness doesn't need to worry too much."
Zhao Ying frowned, "Yaoyao, who is this person? If he is so powerful, why did he suddenly..."
"Cousin." Xiao Ji's voice sounded, "You and the Zhenbei Marquis have been traveling hard all the way, go back and rest first."
Zhao Ying frowned, but Pei Chen stood up immediately and said, "Thank you for your consideration, Your Highness."
As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Ying, his eyes lit up and full of expectation, "Yingying, I'll take you back."
"But..." Zhao Ying hadn't even asked a question when Pei Chen pulled her away.
Wei Chan fell back half a step, looked at Xiao Ji and Xie Yao, and said goodbye.
As soon as she went out, she saw Zhao Ying and Pei Chen still arguing.
Zhao Ying's expression was serious. "Marquis Zhenbei, I haven't asked clearly yet..."
"Yingying, you called me Brother Chen last time..." Before Pei Chen could finish his words, Zhao Ying covered his mouth, "I told you, I had to do that to conceal my identity!"
"If you mention this again, I'll be really angry!"
Pei Chen surrendered immediately, "Okay, okay, I won't mention it. I won't mention it."
After a pause, he couldn't help but move closer to Zhao Ying, "Yingying, when will you call Chen again..."
"Pei Chen!" Zhao Ying glared at Pei Chen.
She had always thought Pei Chen was thick-skinned, but now it seems that she had underestimated him.
Pei Chen is simply, simply...
Zhao Ying looked at Pei Chen angrily. She was not short, but she was obviously not enough in front of the extremely tall Pei Chen.
I could only look up at him slightly.
Pei Chen looked down at the slender, angry little girl in front of him and just thought she was adorable.
After looking around to make sure there was no one around, he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her on the lips...
Zhao Ying exploded again!
With a red face, he shouted Pei Chen's name angrily, and Pei Chen's eyes were filled with a smile of success.
But after all this commotion, Zhao Ying forgot to continue asking about the identity of the person who could cast the Gu.
With a stern face, he walked towards the entrance of the Prince's Mansion.
Pei Chen immediately chased after her and said, "Yingying, don't be angry. It was my fault and I was impulsive. Why don't you come back..."
"Yingying, last time the Crown Princess made clothes and sachets for His Highness... I don't want you to make them, so can you buy one for me?"
“…”
Wei Chan turned around and left through another path.
The prince interrupted Zhao Ying's question just now, obviously not wanting to tell them about this matter.
Zhao Ying was very good at doing business and was also a great hand at reading people's expressions. It was impossible for him not to understand the prince's intention.
It's just because I was too concerned that I lost my sense of proportion.
But Pei Chen understood.
So he took Zhao Ying away directly and diverted Zhao Ying's attention with jokes.
After Zhao Ying returned and calmed down, he understood what the prince meant.
only……
Wei Chan also couldn't understand why His Highness would conceal the information of someone who wanted to murder the Crown Princess.
What's wrong with that person?
…
Prince's Mansion.
Everyone left, leaving only Xie Yao and Xiao Ji in the room.
Xiao Ji stretched out his hand and pulled Xie Yao into his arms, pressing his hand on her shoulder, "Yaoyao, is it ok now?"
Xie Yao glared at Xiao Ji, then moved her body slightly to find a more comfortable position.
She turned sideways to Xiao Ji, hooked her hands around his neck, and leaned softly against him, "Your Highness."
"Um?"
Xie Yao rested her head on his shoulder and said lazily, "I just want to call you Your Highness."
Xiao Ji picked her up by the waist and said, "Then I'd like to hear another name..."
"For example?" Xie Yao raised her neck, her eyes and eyebrows showing a smile.
Xiao Ji lowered his head and kissed her red lips, murmuring: "For example, what Yaoyao shouted last night..."
It's late at night.
Xiao Ji opened his eyes and found Xie Yao in his arms already fast asleep. He gently pulled his hand out from under Xie Yao's neck, got up from the bed and put on his outer garment.
As soon as he stood still under the eaves of the main house, he said, "Come out."
Si Nan and Si Bei immediately appeared in the courtyard and said in unison, "Your Highness."
Xiao Ji's eyes fell on Si Bei, and he said without a doubt: "If you find any trace of Shan Shan."
"No need to come back to report, I will kill you without mercy."
Si Bei knelt on the ground and did not answer immediately. Although he really did not find any trace of Shan Shan this time, but...
He even felt a little relieved.
If he found out, could he really do it?
This is about your Highness' life. It's just marrying a woman. Why is your Highness...
Si Bei said nothing, but his silence seemed to explain everything.
Xiao Ji was silent for a moment, and then said, "For me, some things... are more important than life."
Shanshan is definitely not a good person. If he compromises in the first step, there will be a second and third step...
Like an emperor...
He once promised that he would only love his mother in this life.
One more person means one more uncontrollable factor. He can control himself, but he cannot accept putting Xie Yao in danger.
Xie Yao was the light in his dark life, and he didn't want to get to the point where they were disgusted with each other.
"Sibei." Xiao Ji said, "You are one of the people I personally trained and trust the most."
"Don't let me down again."
Xiao Ji's words were already a bit harsh. After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the main room.
Si Nan and Si Bei stood in the yard for a long time, looking at each other in silence.
After a long while, Si Nan's somewhat decadent voice finally came to mind, "You know His Highness's temper, just do as His Highness tells you..."
Just as he turned around, he suddenly heard a voice behind him. They both turned around at the same time and saw a green figure standing at the gate of the courtyard...
