Chapter 253 May I ask your name, young lady?
Xie Yao entered the study room very habitually and naturally, and sat down in her seat.
Xiao Ji looked at this scene, standing there at a loss. He couldn't help but glance at Si Nan, only to see Si Nan standing obediently by the door, looking like he was used to it.
Xiao Ji: “…”
He was silent for a moment, then stepped inside.
He was wrong just now. The water in his brain should not have simply entered his brain, but at least entered the lake.
Originally, this was the place he was most familiar with, but Xie Yao acted like she was at home at the moment, which made Xiao Ji feel a little at a loss.
Xiao Ji stood by the door, clenched his fist, put it to his lips and coughed softly before asking, "May I ask...what's your name, young lady?"
After asking, he felt ashamed that he didn't even know his "wife's" name.
Xie Yao paused for a moment, "Xie Yao."
Xiao Ji hummed, and inexplicably felt that she should be called this name.
"Thank you, Miss..."
Xiao Ji spoke again, but Xie Yao was too lazy to listen to such an address, so she interrupted him and said, "I want to talk to Your Highness about the Northern Territory."
As soon as these words were spoken, the panic on Xiao Ji's face immediately disappeared, and his expression instantly became serious.
"This morning, a letter from my eldest cousin from the Wei family arrived at lightning speed. The northern border is attacking, and they have taken down two cities in a row. They are unstoppable!"
"The urgent message of eight hundred miles is not as fast as lightning, and it has not yet reached the capital. Ah Chan received the news early this morning and immediately went to the palace to report the matter to His Majesty. She was then sent back to the Wei family. At this moment, the Jinwu Guards are guarding outside the Wei family."
"After hearing the news, His Majesty immediately summoned the ministers from the six ministries to discuss the matter, but no news has been leaked until now."
Xie Yao spoke in a clear and mellow voice, and told Xiao Ji the matter in a few words in an orderly manner.
Xiao Ji's expression gradually changed, and finally he looked serious.
He quickly analyzed: "I'm afraid they are still doubting the authenticity of the news." He remembered everything except Xie Yao.
When it comes to some things involving Xie Yao, he automatically corrects and ignores them. The result is there, but the process may be subconsciously omitted by his brain.
Therefore, he was particularly clear about the situation in the emperor's court.
This was said not only by the important officials of the six ministries, but also by the emperor.
The emperor did not trust him. Pei Chen's unconditional support had already made the emperor very angry. Then something like Xiao Ning happened, and the Wei family was naturally close to him.
The emperor might have suspected that he was the one behind this matter!
Thinking of this, Xiao Ji felt quite heavy-hearted, but he quickly said, "I'm afraid this matter is related to Xiao Ning."
They had already found out at the beginning that Huyan Yuan was not that simple, and the last time Huyan Yuan pleaded for Xiao Ning in front of the emperor, it further showed that the relationship between the two was extraordinary.
Now it seems...
I'm afraid Xiao Ning is cooperating with Hu Yanyuan!
A cold light flashed in Xiao Ji's eyes. If Xiao Ning really cooperated with Beijiang to harm the people of Xia Country for his own selfish reasons...
He must not tolerate it!
Xie Yao nodded in agreement and said, "I think so too."
"Your Highness has been in a coma for three days. His Majesty has sent Li Dajian to come twice to bring medicinal materials and imperial physicians to personally treat Your Highness and check on His Highness' condition."
"She was even worried that I would be too busy to take care of Zhao Zhao Sui Sui while taking care of His Highness, so she wanted to bring Zhao Zhao Sui Sui into the palace..."
"Wait." Xiao Ji interrupted Xie Yao, his face showing some doubt about life, "Zhao Zhao? Sui Sui? Who... is it?"
He asked this question while facing Xie Yao's death gaze.
Xie Yao: “…”
Good news: His Highness has not forgotten just her.
The bad news: they also forgot their two children.
Xie Yao didn't hide the way she looked at Xiao Ji at this moment, she was just looking at a scumbag!
Not only did he forget about her, he also forgot about the children...
Xiao Ji felt inexplicably guilty when seeing Xie Yao's look and lowered his head.
Xie Yao was tired, slowly retracted her gaze, and explained: "It's my child."
Xiao Ji: “???”
He looked at Xie Yao in disbelief.
It is known that he has no descendants, so the child cannot be his. He must have had a sea in his brain before, right?
Xie Yao met Xiao Ji's eyes, sneered, and didn't want to explain at all!
Xiao Ji, it’s best if you never remember those things, otherwise... humph.
Xiao Ji's mind was in a mess. He thought he should have seen through the essence of the matter at this moment, but when he was stared at by Xie Yao, he lowered his head again.
He seems... very afraid of Xie Yao?
"It doesn't matter." Xie Yao said, "Your Highness, please think about the meaning behind this."
Xiao Ji's rationality immediately returned, and he understood the meaning behind this in an instant.
His father...seems to have different expectations of him.
"I don't understand." Xiao Ji whispered, and asked very naturally and familiarly: "What does the Crown Princess think about this matter?"
After saying this, Xiao Ji was stunned again.
How could he ask so... familiarly? It was as if he had asked it a thousand times before. As soon as Xiao Ji thought of this, he felt a sharp pain in his heart and brain, forcing him to immediately gather his thoughts and stop thinking about it.
“Your Highness…”
Xie Yao noticed that something was wrong with Xiao Ji and subconsciously took a step forward to check on him.
But Xiao Ji's reaction was faster. He quickly and nimbly stepped back, keeping a sufficient distance from Xie Yao. "I'm fine."
Xie Yao's hand froze in mid-air. After a moment, she lowered her eyes and said, "I think that the person who tied the bell should be the one to untie it. Since this matter is related to Xiao Ning, perhaps we can start from Xiao Ning's side."
Xiao Ji looked at Xie Yao in surprise, and then hummed. It was obvious that what Xie Yao said was similar to what he thought.
Xiao Ji said: "I will take care of this matter, thank you... Crown Princess, don't worry."
Xie Yao raised her eyes and glanced at him. She did not argue with him about this matter. She just nodded and said, "Okay, I will listen to your Highness."
"Your Highness, please be busy first."
After Xie Yao finished speaking, she stood up and left the study.
Looking at her back, Xiao Ji froze in place. Somehow, he felt that Xie Yao seemed... angry?
He stared at Xie Yao's back for a long time, until her back disappeared from his sight, and then he suddenly reacted, "Sinan."
Si Nan immediately walked in, "Your Highness."
Xiao Ji gave some instructions in an orderly manner, and when he lowered his eyes, he met Si Nan's slightly surprised eyes, "What's the matter?"
Si Nan lowered his head quickly, "I obey your orders."
Si Nan immediately stood up and left. Xiao Ji suddenly said, "Wait..."
Si Nan stopped and asked, "Your Highness, do you have any other instructions?"
Xiao Ji's question went through his mind for a while, but what he said was, "Go and do your work first, and come back when you're done... I have something to ask you."
Although he had some doubts about his relationship with Miss Xie, it was nothing compared to the war in the north.
…
Xie Yao was really a little angry.
She knew that the current prince had lost his memory, so he didn't remember her and that was why he treated her like this. But she had always been held in the palm of his hand by the prince in the past. Although she knew the reason now, she couldn't help feeling wronged and angry.
She went straight to Shanshan's residence, opened the door, grabbed Shanshan, and said, "Get up!"
Shanshan: "..."
She was sleeping soundly. At this moment, she squinted her eyes weakly and glanced at Xie Yao. Her voice was full of fatigue, "…Is there anything else? Ancestor."
Xie Yao's face was serious, "I have something to ask you."
Shanshan: “…” She snored silently.
Xie Yao asked: "You said before that His Highness would lose some of his emotions?"
Um?
Shan Shan, who had wanted to fall asleep, sat up with a somersault and looked at Xie Yao with burning eyes, "Tell me in detail, which part of his emotions did you find lost so quickly?"
Xie Yao: “…” She stared at Shan Shan, trying to see other traces on Shan Shan’s face, but she only saw a full heart of gossip and thirst for knowledge.
She was so tired, "Don't worry about this, you just need to tell me, how can the lost memory of His Highness be restored?"
Shanshan said decisively: "It can't be recovered."
"What?" Xie Yao was so shocked that even her voice rose several degrees.
Shan Shan shrugged helplessly and spread her hands. "Once lost, it is lost forever. It can never be recovered! He himself will subconsciously avoid the part about the lost emotions. If he forces himself to recall them, not only will he gain nothing, but it may also make him feel uncomfortable."
Xie Yao's eyes immediately showed suspicion, "You took away His Highness's emotions..."
"It's a price." Shan Shan corrected righteously, "It's the price of his recovery."
After a pause, Shan Shan suddenly had an idea, raised her eyebrows, and looked at Xie Yao with a gloating expression, "Your Highness's lost emotions...could it be related to you?"
Otherwise, how could Xie Yao, who remained calm even when faced with a catastrophe, be so anxious?
Xie Yao glanced at Shan Shan with a cold look, "Leave it alone."
Shanshan: “…” Okay, you guessed it right.
Shanshan sighed softly, "I swear to God, I didn't think of this before. But from this, it seems that your Highness really loved you in the past."
"Why do you say that?" As soon as Xie Yao heard Shan Shan's words, she knew that she must know something, and immediately asked her calmly.
Shanshan added, "It will only eat away the most unforgettable feelings..."
Her words suddenly got stuck at this point!
Then he looked up at Xie Yao with an embarrassed look on his face, and shrank back behind the bed, looking very pitiful. "Um, well... I..."
Xie Yao just looked at her steadily.
Shanshan could only say aggrievedly, "I really didn't know it would be you..."
"Yeah." Xie Yao hummed, but she was not angry.
Shanshan explained it very clearly, and she had told her before that His Highness would lose some of his feelings.
She was mentally prepared at that time, but she couldn't help but feel lucky.
Shanshan thought Xie Yao would definitely scold her and force her to take responsibility through threats and inducements, and she was thinking about how to reason with her.
The worst that can happen is death!
Anyway, she couldn't make Xiao Ji get back the lost feelings.
But she only saw Xie Yao lowering her head sadly, and her thoughts changed instantly, "Um... don't be too sad."
Shanshan said this awkwardly, and she felt a little guilty for no reason. "I can't do anything about this..."
"I know." Xie Yao raised her eyes and saw Shan Shan's expression was very calm, "I don't blame you."
Shanshan: ...Xie Yao is such a good person!
This thought flashed through Shanshan's mind, and Shanshan was shocked. Suddenly she realized: What kind of mess is she thinking about? !
When Xie Yao threatened and bribed her in the past, she didn't have the same expression as now.
She shuddered all over, thinking that Xie Yao was probably poisonous, and her current reaction was a sign of being poisoned.
"Besides me, Your Highness has also forgotten Zhao Zhao Sui Sui." Xie Yao's eyes were burning. "Is this reasonable?"
She stared at Shanshan, who thought for a moment and nodded, "That makes sense."
"This shows that Xiao Ji loves you as much as he loves his two children."
"Of course, these are two different kinds of love."
Xie Yao: “…” This doesn’t need any special explanation.
There was a thoughtful look in her eyes, and then she asked, "Is there really no other way?"
There was a glimmer of pity in Shanshan's eyes, "Sorry, at least I don't."
Xie Yao lowered her eyes, slowly stood up and walked out the door.
Looking at her back, Shanshan sighed softly, shook his head, and fell asleep again.
The word "love" is the most torturous.
"Crown Princess..." As soon as Xie Yao walked out, Zhu Qing came forward with worry written all over her face.
She now understood the current situation and was naturally worried about her own Crown Princess.
"It's okay." Xie Yao said, "At least this time is better than last time."
There was confidence between her brows. If she could make Xiao Ji fall in love with her once, she could make Xiao Ji fall in love with her a second time!
However, His Highness is different now, and her strategy needs to change accordingly...
Thinking this way, Xie Yao did not go to look for Xiao Ji for the time being, but returned to the main courtyard.
She naturally believed in Xiao Ji's ability. Now that Xiao Ji had promised to handle the affairs of the northern border, Xie Yao would no longer pay attention to this matter for the time being.
She didn't sleep all night yesterday, so she decided to go back and rest first, and then proceed to the next step after she has rested and her mind is clear.
study.
After Xie Yao left, Xiao Ji stayed in the study for a long time before leaving.
He stopped at the door and glanced at Si Bei who was waiting at the door. "Where is the doctor who treated me this time?"
Si Bei immediately pointed out the direction.
Xiao Ji walked a few steps in that direction, then stopped and looked at Si Bei, "I used to be with the Crown Princess..."
His voice paused.
Si Bei looked up blankly, his eyes full of questions: "What did your highness say?"
Xiao Ji's lips moved, hesitating to speak, and finally said, "Nothing."
He walked quickly in the direction where Shanshan was and pushed the door open as well.
Shanshan had already fallen asleep. Xiao Ji stopped by the bed and said, "Call her."
Si Bei immediately stepped forward and woke Shan Shan up, "Wake up."
Shanshan was pushed awake, without even opening her eyes, and said unhappily, "What's wrong again... Ancestor?"
Xiao Ji frowned, a trace of deep thought flashed across his eyes, and he said in a cold voice, "It's me."
Um? ? ?
Shanshan was stunned, suddenly opened her eyes, and sat up with a somersault.
"Xiao, Xiao Ji?"
Xiao Ji was about to speak, but Shan Shan was faster. She got up from the bed, clasped her arms around her chest, and walked around Xiao Ji, obviously sizing him up.
Xiao Ji frowned, "You..."
Shanshan interrupted him directly, with a look of doubt on her face, "Have you really forgotten about Xie Yao?"
Xiao Ji had a stern face and asked instead of answering, "You saved me?"
When Shan Shan heard this, she said firmly, "It seems you really forgot."
"It's okay to forget it." Shan Shan turned her eyes slightly and smiled, "Then you..."
"I'm sorry." Xiao Ji said, "Even though you saved me, I can't marry you."
