Chapter 284: Honoring Xie Yao
Prince's Mansion.
Although Xie Yao did not go to the Grand Princess's Mansion to join in the fun, she kept an eye on the news there at night.
After hearing Xiao Ji's solution, Xie Yao let out a long sigh and said, "Take a break."
While helping Xie Yao change her clothes, Zhu Qing asked, "Are you relieved, Crown Princess?"
"Yeah." Xie Yao nodded and didn't say much, but she had a guess in her heart that the reason why His Highness could so decisively take advantage of the situation to detain Huyan Yuan was probably because the news had come from the northern border.
Still good news.
Zhu Qing left quickly, and Xie Yao lay on the bed alone. She couldn't fall asleep for a while, although she was very tired.
In the past, His Highness would always share the news with her as soon as he received it. But now, she has to analyze it based on His Highness's actions...
Even though she knew everything was justifiable, she still silently remembered Xiao Ji in her heart...
She was really, really, really angry.
…
Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Si Nan handed a booklet to Xiao Ji in a low voice, "Your Highness, after the morning court was over, these adults quietly went to look for the eldest princess."
Xiao Ji took the booklet, opened it, and saw the name clearly. A cold light flashed in his eyes.
These people...
"Cough!" Xiao Ji suppressed the feeling of sneezing and turned it into a light cough.
"Your Highness." Si Nan immediately asked with concern, "Have you caught a cold? Do you want to ask the... palace doctor to come and take a look?"
"No need." Xiao Ji clenched his fist and rejected Si Nan's proposal.
As long as he has been ill, he has become a doctor. Naturally, he knows some medical skills. He is very sure that his body is healthier than ever before.
He always felt empty inside, as if he had forgotten something...
But before he had a chance to think about it, Li Dajian's voice came from outside, "The Princess is here——"
Xiao Ji stood up to greet her, "Aunt."
The letter from Sibei yesterday contained information asking Princess Yongle to be informed of the affairs of the Grand Princess's Mansion.
Xiao Ji thought that the eldest princess was old and busy taking care of the emperor's health and had not had a good rest, so he stopped this matter and went out of the palace in person.
The princess raised her hand and said, "Your Highness, there is no need to be so polite."
The eldest princess frowned slightly. She had heard about what happened last night and this morning. She nominated Xiao Ji to be regent, naturally because she trusted Xiao Ji.
But today, right after the morning court session, several ministers came to her one after another, asking her to persuade the prince not to act recklessly...
There were so many of them that the princess had to take it seriously.
The princess walked to the side and sat on the armchair, then said, "Prince, I came here this time to ask about Hu Yanyuan."
The eldest princess had no intention of interfering in other people's affairs and spoke very politely.
Xiao Ji was not surprised. He didn't even take the initiative to inform the princess about this matter. He was just waiting for her to arrive.
"Aunt, please look."
As Xiao Ji finished speaking, Si Nan had already taken the letter from Xiao Ji and presented it to the princess with both hands.
The eldest princess took the letter, opened it and read its contents, and her expression immediately became serious.
"Is this true?" The eldest princess looked at Xiao Ji seriously.
Xiao Ji nodded, "It's absolutely true. Now, aunt, do you understand why I attacked Hu Yanyuan?"
What Xiao An said was absolutely right on this point. He did make a contribution by causing a big fuss last night.
The princess nodded. She understood. "In that case, it is I who am meddling..."
The princess paused for a moment, as if she had just realized something. She smiled helplessly and shook her head, "The crown prince has even included me in this."
Obviously, the eldest princess was not angry, and her tone was full of appreciation.
Xiao Ji stood up and bowed, saying, "I hope my aunt is not angry with me."
"How could that be?" Princess Yongle looked at Xiao Ji with a smile on her face. Besides admiration, there was also a hint of imperceptible disappointment in her eyes.
She used to think that the prince might not be simple. After all, she knew Pei Chen very well, and Pei Chen would not be "devoted" to a fool.
But now it seems that Xiao Ji is better than she expected, it's just a pity...
Princess Yongle suppressed her sigh and focused on praising Xiao Ji, "The fact that the Crown Prince could think of seeking the cooperation of the Second Prince of Northern Frontier in such a short time and cut off the escape routes of Hu Yanyuan and Xiao Ning was beyond my expectation."
It’s not that she thought Xiao Ji couldn’t think of this, but Xiao Ji’s speed was beyond her expectations.
Xiao Ji pursed his lips slightly, "I feel unworthy of this compliment from my aunt."
Princess Yongle raised her eyebrows in surprise.
Xiao Ji said frankly: "This method was proposed by the Crown Princess." As he said this, his eyes were fixed on Princess Yongle.
The princess was stunned for a moment. She obviously didn’t expect such an answer, and she didn’t expect Xiao Ji to speak so... frankly.
Her warning to Xie Yao was not concealed in the first place, and both Xie Yao and Xiao Ji should have known it.
But at this moment, Xiao Ji was still praising Xie Yao.
The eldest princess quickly said, "The Crown Princess should be credited for her contribution, and the Crown Prince should be rewarded."
Xiao Ji: “Yes.”
The princess did not stay long, and left quickly after finishing her business. She saw Xiao Ji's bargaining chips, so she naturally would not interfere in the matter, and let Xiao Ji make all the arrangements.
After the princess left, Xiao Ji looked at Si Nan and asked carefully, "Has the Crown Princess known about the letter from Northern Frontier?"
Simon: “???”
He tilted his head slightly and looked at his highness with a blank expression.
Regarding this matter...did His Highness ask him to tell the Crown Princess?
As soon as Xiao Ji saw Si Nan's expression, he knew what was going on, and he immediately felt uneasy.
He said he felt like he had forgotten something, and it turned out to be this...
Xiao Ji couldn't help but glare at Si Nan again.
In the past, Si Nan would tell his Crown Princess every detail of any trivial matter, but today, with such a big thing, Si Nan remained silent.
Useless guy!
Even though the blame was placed on Si Nan, Xiao Ji still dealt with the follow-up of the matter very quickly.
Soon, Xiao Ji had arranged everything that needed to be arranged.
He stood up as quickly as possible and walked out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation with a serious expression and a menacing manner.
Si Nan immediately followed closely, his heart trembled, and he was ready for battle, "Your Highness, where are we going?"
Xiao Ji did not stop, and said solemnly, "Let's go see Zhao Zhao Sui Sui."
