Chapter 240 Losing Emotion?
Shanshan smiled!
He jumped down from the table swiftly, clapped his hands and put his hands on his hips, looking proud and arrogant.
She knew that the one who would have the last laugh would definitely be Shanshan!
"But..." Xie Yao changed the subject, "You can't decide the conditions."
Shan Shan paused as she walked towards Xiao Ji, her face darkening a little, "If you don't want to save him, forget it."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and was about to walk out.
Xie Yao held Xiao Ji's hand without moving, not even glancing at Shan Shan. Although Wei Chan was puzzled, she felt that Xie Yao had a trump card, so she also had no reaction.
The same thing happened to Sinan and Zhuqing. For a moment, there were several people standing in the study, but no one tried to stop Shanshan from leaving.
Shanshan: "..."
Her steps slowed down unconsciously, but she still kept steady.
When she reached the door, Shanshan could not help but stop, turned to look at Xie Yao, snorted coldly, and said: "It seems that you are no better than this to Xiao Ji!"
"It's a pity that Xiao Ji loves you so much. It's really a mistake to give your heart to someone else!"
Shanshan looked as if she was standing up for Xiao Ji, and Xie Yao almost laughed at her, but she also felt more confident.
Shanshan was reluctant to give up her plan against Xiao Ji.
"There's nothing I can do." Xie Yao followed Shan Shan's words and said, "Your Highness just loves me."
Shanshan: "..."
Bad woman!
She stood by the door, biting her lower lip lightly, with a look of confusion in her eyes... Should she leave now or not?
If I leave...it would be a pity.
If she didn't leave... wouldn't Xie Yao laugh at her in her heart?
Shan Shan glanced at Xie Yao, only to see that Xie Yao was looking at Xiao Ji intently, as if she really didn't care about her at all!
Shanshan gritted her teeth and walked out the door.
Xie Yao had already said that she would save him, so she just didn’t believe that Xie Yao would really watch Xiao Ji die!
No one called her.
Only Wei Chan, who was beside Xie Yao, saw that Xie Yao unconsciously exerted force on Xiao Ji's hand, the veins on the back of her hand bulged, and there were fine beads of sweat on the tip of her nose.
As someone who had been on the battlefield, Wei Chan knew very well that this was a psychological game.
Just as Shanshan said at the beginning, whoever gets impatient first will lose.
Wei Chan unnoticeably placed her hand on the back of Xie Yao's hand, hoping to give her some strength and warmth.
Xie Yao's heart relaxed a little and she gave Wei Chan a smile, but both of them spoke.
Shanshan is still outside the door.
"Okay, okay!" Shanshan's voice came again, "Xie Yao, don't regret it! If you have the guts, don't let me call me here again!"
Xie Yao held Xiao Ji's hand tightly. If Shanshan really wanted to leave the Prince's Mansion... Sinan would bring her back immediately.
But Shanshan hadn't left the courtyard where the study was, so she turned around and walked back quickly, "Since you know Xiao Ji doesn't like me, what are you afraid of?"
"I don't like him either!"
"I can promise you that after you marry him, you will never get close to him! That should be fine, right?"
This was the condition she had originally thought of in her mind, but Xie Yao kept bargaining with her, which annoyed her, so she didn't say it out loud just now.
Now that she has retreated to this point, Xie Yao should agree, right?
Shanshan gave in.
Xie Yao's heartstrings relaxed a little, and she looked at Shan Shan, "You can still get what you want even if you don't marry him."
"I promise you."
Shanshan's eyelids twitched, and in addition to avoidance, there was also suspicion in her eyes...
What did Xie Yao know?
If she knew too much... A cold light flashed in Shanshan's eyes.
"Achan." Xie Yao looked at Wei Chan, "Please go out and wait."
"Okay." Wei Chan nodded, then stood up and gave Shan Shan a warning look, "Cousin, I'm in the yard."
Si Nan and Zhu Qing followed Wei Chan out of the door. Only the unconscious Xiao Ji, Xie Yao and Shan Shan were left in the study.
Shan Shan looked at Xie Yao with dangerous eyes, "What do you want to say?"
Xie Yao looked at Shan Shan and went straight to the point: "You want the witchcraft poison in His Highness' body?"
Shanshan's pupils shrank slightly, and the dangerous look in her eyes became even more intense.
Xie Yao: "It seems that I guessed right."
Guessed it right?
Shanshan's face darkened. Guess?
Is she so obvious? She has never told anyone...
"Although I don't know why you insist on marrying His Highness, you can't marry him. You can take what you want."
"This is a win-win situation, isn't it?" Xie Yao asked.
Shanshan grew up in an ethnic group with simple but tough folk customs. They do not distinguish between good and evil, but they are not scheming at all.
For Shanshan to keep the secret so carefully and go through so many twists and turns to achieve her goal, it must be something very important.
Xie Yao may not delve into it further, but she must get what she wants.
Shan Shan pursed her lips and didn't answer immediately, her expression changing from one to another. She was thinking... how likely it was that she could succeed in killing someone and then leaving.
Xie Yao was not in a hurry and waited for Shan Shan to think about it.
After a long while, Shan Shan finally spoke up, "Did you know that Xiao Ji had someone inform me of the tribe's transfer before the earth dragon turned over?"
Xie Yao nodded generously, "I know."
Shan Shan frowned and looked at Xie Yao in surprise, "Are you willing too?"
Xie Yao smiled, "Why not?"
"As I said last time, they are all in Da Xia territory, and they are all Da Xia citizens. As the Crown Princess, how can I disregard their lives for my own selfish reasons?"
"Besides...what does my personal grudge against you have to do with them?"
Shan Shan tilted her head slightly and looked at Xie Yao with confusion in her eyes…Why doesn’t it matter?
Shanshan looked for a long time and felt that she could not quite understand the person in front of her.
but……
She nodded and said, "Deal."
Xie Yao relaxed all over, let out a long breath, and a relieved smile appeared on her face.
She is very tired.
The kind that makes you exhausted both physically and mentally.
She was worried to death about Xiao Ji and was already anxious because of Xiao Ji's coma, but she still had to force herself to stay awake and deal with Shan Shan.
"What should I do now?" Xie Yao asked.
Shan Shan's eyes were filled with smiles. "If you want me to help rescue people, I must stay alone with Xiao Ji in an absolutely safe place."
"Three days."
Xie Yao said: "I'll have someone arrange it right away."
Seeing that she was about to call for help, Shanshan couldn't help but ask again: "Do you trust me now?"
"Don't employ someone you doubt, and don't doubt someone you employ." Xie Yao looked at Shan Shan, "Since you've agreed, I'll trust you."
Besides, there is no one behind Shanshan. She is a person with weaknesses, her clan is behind her.
It’s just that some things don’t need to be said too clearly.
But Xie Yao's words made Shanshan stunned again. Her eyes were blank for a moment, and then she lowered her eyes and snorted meaningfully.
Inexplicably a little arrogant.
"By the way." Shanshan said in an awkward tone: "There is one more thing, don't say I didn't tell you."
"This type of treatment has side effects. Xiao Ji may lose some of his...emotions."
“But I don’t know exactly what will happen now.”
Shan Shan pursed her lips after she finished speaking, feeling a little awkward. She was very upset about Xie Yao's threat to her, and she had not planned to say it at first.
But……
Losing some emotion?
Xie Yao was stunned for a moment, "What about the others? Any other questions?"
Shanshan raised her head proudly, "Of course not!" She knew whether there was one or not as soon as she made a move!
"That's good." Xie Yao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Please trouble Miss Shanshan."
Xie Yao acted very quickly and immediately asked Si Nan and Zhu Qing to clean up an empty room. Si Nan personally led the people to defend it, and Wei Chan felt obliged to take charge and also looked after it personally.
Xiao Ji was transferred in. Shan Shan stood beside him, looking at Xie Yao who was reluctant to leave, and raised her eyebrows, "Why don't you come in too?"
Xie Yao's eyes lit up, "Is it okay?"
Shan Shan smiled, "Of course not."
Bang!
Shanshan raised her hand and closed the door, and the door was closed in front of everyone.
"Cousin." Wei Chan held Xie Yao's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, cousin is a lucky man, and he will be fine."
Xie Yao hummed, took a deep breath, and suppressed the worry in her heart.
His Highness is in a coma.
But she still had to do what she had to do. She looked at Zhu Qing and said, "Spread the news that His Highness is in a coma immediately."
"Yes." Zhu Qing agreed first, and then asked: "If someone from the palace comes to see Your Highness..."
"I will deal with it myself." Xie Yao said.
Besides, His Majesty might not have time to pay attention to Your Highness soon, so Your Highness's "coma" at this time is just right.
"Crown Princess." Yuyan arranged for the other doctors and walked in from outside, whispering, "Just now, someone from the Grand Princess's Mansion sent a basket of grapes."
Xiao Ning...
When mentioning this person, Xie Yao's eyes flashed with a cold light.
The person who planted the witchcraft poison in Xiao Ji has been found, and it is Concubine Li. Although there is someone behind Concubine Li, it is still a big deal to induce the witchcraft poison in His Highness...
I'm afraid it has something to do with Concubine Li and her son.
Xiao Ning is giving something at this moment...is he provoking me?
"Let's break up." Xie Yao said in a deep voice. Xiao Ning provoking her? It doesn't matter. She will be busy soon!
Yuyan turned around to share the grapes. Xie Yao looked at Zhu Xin and said, "Send a message to Pei Chen, tell him not to wait any longer and to report immediately."
"If Pei Chen asks the reason, there is no need to hide it, but tell him not to come to the Prince's Mansion again."
Xie Yao issued several orders in succession and arranged everything properly before she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Cousin." Wei Chan brought a chair from a nearby room and placed it under the eaves. "Please sit for a while."
Xie Yao didn't feel it just now, but now she felt indescribable fatigue, and her body almost collapsed in the armchair.
A maid immediately brought snacks and tea. Xie Yao drank a sip of ginseng tea and felt that she had regained some strength.
"Cousin..."
Wei Chan could not hide the worry in her eyes. She knew in her heart that Xie Yao must be extremely worried, but she still had to keep a calm face.
The situation in the capital is now treacherous and the northern border is also unstable. Although Your Highness only needs three days, three days is enough time for a lot of things to happen.
"It's okay." Xie Yao sat up straight and gave Wei Chan a reassuring look, "Achan, don't worry."
"You have helped me a lot by helping me guard His Highness here." Although she was sitting here, she had to pay more attention to the situation outside at this moment.
Not long after, a figure rushed in from outside, "Sister!"
Xie Yao looked and saw that the young boy who walked in quickly was Xie Zhan. Xie Zhan had a stern face and it looked like that was the case.
"Sister, I heard that His Highness is in a coma..."
He hurried over, his breathing was still a little uneven, his eyes were full of concern, "Sister, is it true? How is His Highness?"
Xie Yao felt warm in her heart, reached out and touched Xie Zhan's head, and was about to speak.
Then I heard the voice of the steward coming from outside, "Crown Princess, the Third Prince is here, and he said he came to visit His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
He comes with bad intentions!
Xie Zhan and Wei Chan both looked at Xie Yao with worry on their faces.
Xie Yao's expression was calm. "Please go to the flower hall, Third Prince. I will be there shortly."
Pei Chen's side... should be about the same.
Xie Yao changed her clothes at a leisurely pace before going to the reception room.
"Sister-in-law!" As soon as she entered the room, the Third Prince stood up in a hurry, his face full of worry and anxiety, "I heard that my brother suddenly fell into a coma. How is my brother doing now?"
"I have specially summoned the imperial physicians. Why not let them take a look at you, my brother?"
As expected of someone who has been playing the pig and eating the tiger for many years, his acting skills are indeed very good. Looking at his expression and posture now, who would not think that the Third Prince really cares about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
Xie Yao looked a little haggard, but she still managed to cheer herself up. Upon hearing this, she smiled at the Third Prince and said, "Thank you for your concern, Third Prince, but it's not necessary."
"Why?" The third prince asked hurriedly, "But my brother is well now?" His words were somewhat insincere.
Although he said things that wished Xiao Ji well, his eyes showed that he wished Xiao Ji would die quickly.
Xie Yao lowered her eyes and shook her head gently, "Which imperial physician in Xia Kingdom has not seen Your Highness's health? But they are all helpless. The one who can best take care of Your Highness's condition is already in the Crown Prince's Mansion."
"Your Highness and I appreciate the good intentions of our Third Prince, but there is no need to do these useless things."
The Third Prince let out a long sigh, the corners of his mouth involuntarily raised, then quickly subsided, "Then... let this humble servant go and see my brother."
Xie Yao picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Sister-in-law." The Third Prince said, "My Royal Highness has always been supportive of me. I admire you very much."
"If I can't see my brother with my own eyes, I will feel uneasy."
He had to make sure whether Xiao Ji was really unconscious or just pretending. Although Xiao Ji did not have much time left, but...
Xie Yao caught a glimpse of a hurried figure outside the hall, and then she said slowly, "Third brother is thoughtful."
"Come with me."
As Xie Yao stood up, a figure hurried in. Without even bothering to greet, he quickly rushed to the Third Prince's ear and whispered something.
The Third Prince's expression changed drastically, and in his agitation, he dropped the teacup in his hand to the ground!
Xie Yao stopped and turned to look at the Third Prince, who looked as if he had lost his parents. "Third brother, is there something serious going on?"
"If it's urgent, you might as well go do it first."
The third prince suddenly looked up and looked into Xie Yao's eyes!
Pei Chen, it's Pei Chen again! This time, Pei Chen is the one causing all the trouble!
Pei Chen is Xiao Ji's man, and something like this just happened today... Did Xie Yao really know nothing about it?
But looking at Xie Yao's expression and eyes, the Third Prince could not see any problem, and even saw some concern in it.
The third prince smiled inwardly, and the fierce look in his eyes quickly disappeared.
He must have thought too much to doubt Xie Yao.
Even though Xiao Ji is deep-minded and wise, he doesn't have much time left.
And Xie Yao...ha.
Even if this matter was really Xiao Ji's plan, Xie Yao was just a woman, what could she know?
