Chapter 242 Blatant Favoritism
Although Xiao Ning's eyes quickly retracted, Xiao An's steps towards the outside still paused, and then stopped beside Xiao Ning.
"Big sister." Xiao An clasped his fists, "Your humble servant will go first."
Xiao Ning raised her eyes, the hatred in her eyes had been completely suppressed, and at this moment, there was an impeccable smile on her face, "Third brother, please be careful on the road."
"Thank you for your concern, eldest sister." Xiao An replied, then turned around and left quickly.
What is he afraid of now?
He is not afraid of anything!
Xiao Ning watched Xiao An's leaving back until he could no longer see her, then he slowly withdrew his gaze.
She stood outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation waiting.
The news from the palace soon reached Xie Yao's ears. After sending the third prince away, she went to guard outside Xiao Ji's house again.
The room was quiet, without any movement at all.
As a result, Zhu Qing unconsciously lowered his voice when reporting the news, as if he was afraid of disturbing anyone.
After Xie Yao heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched, "You really are partial to me."
The emperor just let go of such an important matter so lightly, and it seemed that he wanted to put all the problems on Xiao Ning alone.
But...it is indeed the case.
Xiao An did not profit from this, but the way he handled the matter showed that he was not a wise leader.
"Crown Princess." Zhu Qing whispered, "Will the Third Prince come to see Your Highness again?"
Xie Yao shook her head, "He won't."
She could see that the emperor was so blatantly partial to her, and as the person involved... it was impossible for Xiao An not to feel it.
In this case, how could Xiao An take the unconscious prince seriously?
Even if he came to see... I'm afraid he just came to see if His Highness is still alive.
"Even if he comes, I am still here." Xie Yao said, "What are you afraid of?"
Zhu Qing stuck out her tongue and whispered, "I know you can handle it, Crown Princess. I just think... you are too tired."
Xie Yao was slightly startled, then raised her hand and stroked Zhu Qing's head, "With you guys here, I'm not tired."
Now everything is under her control, which is a great blessing for her.
Zhu Qing pursed her lips, her heart was deeply moved, and she became more determined to do her job well and share the worries of her own Crown Princess!
Xie Zhan, who was waiting on the side, also lowered his head in shame. It was all his fault... or he was too young. If he was older...
"A Zhan." After Xie Yao had comforted Zhu Qing, she sensed Xie Zhan's disappointment and was about to speak.
Xie Zhan had already raised his head, without any sign of loss or frustration on his face, and said firmly: "Don't worry, sister, I will study hard!"
Sister is already very tired, and he can't let her worry about him while she is busy with her work.
Xie Yao was slightly startled, then smiled with some relief, "Okay, Sister believes you."
Yuyan walked in from outside and whispered, "Crown Princess, thank you Third Miss for coming."
Thanks Yuru.
She now lives with Xiao Hong in the former Second Prince's Mansion, and has never had a formal status. Both of their identities are somewhat awkward.
You were being very cautious a few days ago, but now you are acting this way again today?
"What's the matter?" Xie Yao asked casually.
Yuyan: "Miss Xie said that she heard that His Highness was in a coma, and she came to visit him on the orders of the Second Young Master."
Xie Yao: "...If you don't want to see me, just say I'm busy."
The visit was fake, the real purpose was to test and show off, but she was too lazy to pay attention to these people, and hoped that Xie Yuru would not be so shameless.
Yuyan turned and left, but soon came back with an unhappy look on her face, "Crown Princess, Third Miss Xie refused to leave."
"She was making a lot of noise outside the mansion, saying that she had to see you. I wanted to have her arrested and thrown into a carriage to be sent back."
"But she is pregnant, I dare not move rashly."
A cold light flashed in Xie Yao's eyes. The news of His Highness's coma today had already spread. Even though Xiao Ning and Xiao An's illegal salt trafficking attracted attention, there were still many people watching outside the Prince's Mansion.
Xie Yuru is so noisy...
Xie Yao: "Let her in."
Xie Yao looked at Wei Chan, nodded slightly, and then went to the main hall to meet people.
After such a long time, Xie Yuru's taste has not improved at all. She looks like a jewelry rack, covered with all kinds of luxurious ornaments.
She walked in with a flamboyant attitude, her slightly bulging belly.
She is now pregnant with royal blood!
You know, His Majesty had conferred the title of Princess to Xie Yao's daughter just three days after she was born. Then when she gives birth to a child in the future... If His Majesty is happy, wouldn't it be easy to restore Your Highness's status as a prince?
By then...she will be the prince's consort.
There is a possibility of further progress in the future...
Whenever she thought of this, Xie Yuru felt her breathing quicken and she became extremely excited.
Especially when she saw Xie Yao looking a little haggard at this moment, Xie Yuru became even more proud!
Look at how proud and arrogant Xie Yao was in front of her before? But now she has become so haggard.
She said, whoever laughs last is the winner!
"Big sister~" Xie Yuru said these three words in a very pretentious voice, "I heard that the Crown Prince is in a coma? How could such a thing happen out of the blue?"
"Big sister, you have to hold on."
Xie Yuru said this, and the joy and gloating in her eyes almost overflowed, "Big sister, where is the Crown Prince? My prince is still under house arrest. I came here today to visit the Crown Prince on the orders of my prince."
"Big sister, please take me to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." See if the Crown Prince is dead!
Xie Yao looked a little haggard, but her eyes were full of coldness as she looked at Xie Yuru. "Are you done?"
Xie Yao has been in a superior position for a long time and has sharp eyes. With just one look, Xie Yuru's smile froze on her face and her eyes became a little evasive.
Then Xie Yuru reacted and became even angrier.
Damn Xie Yao, why are you still so proud at this time?
Wait until the prince dies...hehe!
"Show him away." Xie Yao said directly.
"Big sister!" Xie Yuru's mission today was to see the prince's condition, so she was naturally unwilling to leave like this at this moment, "Could it be that something happened to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and you deliberately concealed it?"
Could it be...that the prince is already dead?
Before this thought came to her mind, Xie Yuru felt a chill on her back, as if someone was staring at her. Even her breathing stopped for a moment.
Well, that's scary...
For a moment, Xie Yuru was afraid to look at Xie Yao's expression. She clenched her hands, her nails digging into her palms, feeling unwilling.
Xie Yao's eyes were sharp, and there was murderous intent flashing in Xie Yuru's eyes. "What did you say?"
If it was normal, she might not care about Xie Yuru's nonsense, but at this moment...
"I, I..." Xie Yuru swallowed, subconsciously took a step back, and fell back into the armchair.
She finally felt more confident after resting her hands on the armrests of the chair, and looked up at Xie Yao, "Big sister, I am pregnant with His Highness's first child..."
I'm scared. Can Xie Yao afford the compensation?
Xie Yao's eyes were cold, and she no longer wanted to play along with Xie Yuru, so she said directly, "Get out."
Xie Yuru really wanted to leave, but when she thought of Xiao Hong's instructions...she bit her lower lip, still feeling a little unwilling.
If she goes back like this, what will she say when His Highness asks her?
Xie Yao stared at her, "Or... you don't want this child anymore?"
Xie Yuru's throat rolled, she was really frightened by this look.
Is Xie Yao crazy?
Her body moved faster than her brain, and she immediately stood up and walked out, muttering, "Just go! What's the big deal? They obviously come here to care about you..."
