Chapter 223 What kind of man do you want?
Xie Yao suddenly felt her palms warm, and it was Xiao Ji who put his hand on the back of her hand. His palm was warm and broad, just enough to cover her palm.
Xiao Ji didn't say anything else, but expressed his support with actions.
Xie Yao held Xiao Ji's hand and gave him a faint smile.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince and Princess, there is no trace of the Second Miss." The Crown Prince's guard replied.
It was impossible for the people from the Prince's Mansion to find anything in the Song family, because Xie Yujiao was not in the Song family in the first place.
Xie Yao was just taking this opportunity to show off.
"It seems that I have misunderstood Lord Song." Xie Yao said, "In this case, Your Highness and I will not bother Lord Song any more. Let's go."
Xie Yao and Xiao Ji just came out.
Song Wenbo, with a happy face, came forward and said, "Don't bother me, don't bother me."
If Xie Yao and Xiao Ji hadn't come, he might not have been saved.
Song Wenbo happily sent the people from the Prince's Mansion away. However, just as Xie Yao returned to the Prince's Mansion, Zhu Qing came forward and said, "Crown Princess, Song Wenbo secretly asked someone to take the prescription written by the palace doctor to consult the doctor."
It was obvious that he did not believe the prescription given by the government doctor.
Xie Yao raised her eyes. Without her instructions, Zhu Qing said, "I have asked someone to tell the doctor that there is no problem with the prescription."
"No."
Xie Yao said: "Let the doctor say... add twice as much coptis root in the prescription."
She had never concealed her dislike for Song Wenbo before, so this harmless counterattack and embarrassment... was just the right amount.
Xie Yao also received a reply quickly.
"The Crown Princess is wise. After listening to the doctor's words, Song Wenbo really believed them. He couldn't wait to buy the herbs and ordered someone to boil them."
Xie Yao said: "This medicine can save his life, I must personally watch him drink it all."
"yes!"
Zhu Qing agreed and turned around to make arrangements.
Xie Yao and Xiao Ji were already prominent figures in the capital. The news that they went to the Song family in a threatening manner today, but were instead sent out respectfully and humbly by Song Wenbo, quickly spread throughout the capital.
Everyone suspected that the two parties had reached some ulterior motive.
This naturally includes Xiao Ning.
Princess Mansion.
"Your Highness." The fox man knelt beside Xiao Ning's legs and respectfully reported what happened today. Finally, he said, "Since the Crown Princess' birthday last time, Song Wenbo has been delivering letters to the Princess's Mansion one after another."
"Maybe he hasn't received a reply for a long time so..."
After Xie Yao's birthday banquet, the relationship between Xiao Ning and Song Wenbo has become known to the world, and the most important thing is that His Majesty knows about it.
Song Wenbo, however, didn't know how to avoid suspicion at all and kept sending messages. How could Her Royal Highness the Princess possibly reply?
"snort."
Xiao Ning sneered, "I'm afraid it's not so easy to get close to them."
She knew Xie Yujiao's "prophecy" and had guessed about Xie Yao's origins.
According to her guess, Xie Yao hated Song Wenbo...if not to the point of crushing him to ashes, she at least hated him to the core.
And she was 80% sure about those guesses.
"Your Highness is right." The fox man immediately agreed, "You are clinging to a short-lived ghost, aren't you afraid of shortening your own lifespan?"
The last time the earth dragon turned over, the news that Xiao Ji was dying had already spread.
They were all Xiao Ning's followers. Although they didn't know whether this matter was true or not, they all believed it. At least it was a good wish.
Xiao Ning's expression changed for a moment, but in the end he said nothing, only saying: "He has already found a way to die, so don't worry about him."
"As for the matter in the south, Xiao Ji will not let it go after losing a man. You go and handle it yourself. What needs to be retracted should be retracted, what needs to be relocated should be relocated, and only an empty shell should be left for his people."
Xiao Ning's eyes were filled with malice, "I will make him think he has won, but in the end he gets nothing!"
"Yes!" the fox man responded.
"Wait." Xiao Ning thought of something and called out to the fox man who was about to leave, saying, "When we are almost done evacuating, pass on the news that Xiao Ji is investigating this matter... to another person."
"Yes." The fox man then turned and left.
As soon as the fox-masked man left, a tall figure slowly walked out from behind the screen in Xiao Ning's room.
It was Hu Yanyuan.
Apart from his exceptionally tall stature, Huyan Yuan had almost no characteristics of a person from the northern border. He looked at Xiao Ning with a half-smile in his eyes.
"Your Highness is really heartless. After all, I was once your guest...Your Highness turned hostile just like that...Tsk."
Even though Hu Yanyuan said this in public, Xiao Ning did not feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he said, "What's the point of having someone here who is no longer useful?"
When she chose Song Wenbo, she considered that this man was somewhat intelligent and would marry Xie Yao, so he would be easy to control and use.
But nothing went smoothly afterwards.
Not only did the person he married change, but Song Wenbo also went from being a candidate who had a good chance of passing the imperial examination to someone who had no chance of passing the examination.
Considering that Song Wenbo had always served her well and that Xie Yujiao was special, she gave Song Wenbo a second chance and recommended him for an official position.
But this matter was exposed, and her father was on guard against her...
Song Wenbo had lost her favor. To her, he was not only completely useless, but had even become a burden.
It's a burden...
It should be thrown away!
Xiao Ning turned her eyes and looked at Hu Yanyuan, "What does the Prince Consort think?"
Hu Yanyuan raised his hand and patted his chest, looking both scared and relieved, and said, "Fortunately, fortunately, I am still of some use to His Highness."
Xiao Ning also smiled, "Don't worry, Prince Consort, you have protected me in front of the Emperor. I will never abandon you at any time."
Hu Yanyuan smiled and said, "Of course I will stand by the princess' side."
If you only listen to their conversation, you might think that the princess and her husband have a love stronger than gold.
In fact, when the two people said such words, they were very far apart.
Xiao Ning slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip. Even though Hu Yanyuan was tall and strong, he looked very capable...
She didn't even think about giving it a try.
She has always made a clear distinction between playthings and companions.
In the future...what kind of man does she want?
