Chapter 292 Xie Yao...will she cooperate like this?
Xiao Ning raised her chin slightly, her eyes proud. She would not be led by Xie Yao, she wanted to take the absolute initiative!
"Princess, you reminded me." Xie Yao nodded seriously, "Then let's continue talking about Sister Ying."
Xiao Ning found it hard to laugh.
Xie Yao...will she be so cooperative?
"Sister Ying's safety is of vital importance to us, but..." Xie Yao looked directly into Xiao Ning's eyes, "I have to make sure Sister Ying is safe first."
Xiao Ning narrowed her eyes, "What do you mean?"
Xie Yao didn't say anything, but her expression didn't show any intention of backing down.
"Sure." Xiao Ning said, "I'll have someone send you a personal item that she had when she disappeared."
Xiao Ning emphasized the three words "when he disappeared". Fortunately, she and Xiao Ji and Xie Yao had already torn their relationship apart, so she naturally didn't mind speaking bluntly.
"Handwritten letter."
"Humph." Xiao Ning's eyes flickered and she flatly refused, "Impossible."
The smile on Xie Yao's face slowly faded, "Princess, it seems that you don't really want to go out."
Xiao Ning hesitated slightly. What did Xie Yao mean by this?
Zhu Qing had already stretched out his hand to Xie Yao, and Xie Yao took Zhu Qing's hand and slowly stood up.
Xiao Ning's expression changed then. Xie Yao... is this serious?
If Xie Yao really leaves, she won't be able to come back again. She won't bow her head to keep her!
She just didn't believe that Xie Yao would ignore Zhao Ying's safety.
Isn't Xie Yao afraid that she won't be able to explain to Pei Chen for this?
But Xie Yao had no intention of staying. She turned and left under Xiao Ning's calm gaze, until her figure was about to disappear from Xiao Ning's sight.
Xiao Ning then spoke, "It seems that you don't value Zhao Ying as much as I thought."
very good.
Xie Yao paused slightly, and Xiao Ning became anxious.
"With what the princess said today, I have finally explained to the Marquis of Zhenbei and the Zhao family." Xie Yao said, "The princess also knows what price I have to pay. If you don't give me this reassurance..."
Xie Yao didn't say anything else, but her meaning was very clear: without a handwritten letter, the deal would not be successful.
The two men confronted each other.
After a while, Xiao Ning said, "Okay."
Xie Yao smiled, "In that case, I will wait for news. Once I receive the letter to confirm that Sister Ying is safe, I will fulfill my promise."
Xie Yao left the prison, but saw Zhao Hao and Cheng Fengqi waiting outside. When they saw her come out, they immediately came forward to greet her.
"Princess."
"cousin."
They both spoke at the same time, with anxious looks on their faces. They wanted to ask about the situation but did not dare to speak rashly.
Xie Yao nodded slightly to the two of them as a signal, and briefly explained what she had discussed with Xiao Ning.
Zhao Hao also knew that the best news was that there was no news about Zhao Ying now.
He was worried about Zhao Ying's safety, and was also worried that his cousin would become a "sinner" in order to rescue his elder sister as soon as possible. When he heard Xie Yao's arrangement, he was relieved.
At this moment, Zhao Hao and Cheng Fengqi were both reassured, and immediately began to lead people to search for Zhao Ying's whereabouts.
If we can find clues and rescue people...there is naturally no need to make a deal with Xiao Ning.
Xie Yao got on the carriage and headed for the palace.
Perhaps because of her complete trust, Xiao Ji did not have anyone guarding outside the prison, but she still had to go into the palace to give instructions to His Highness and the Princess.
After all... I believe the princess will know what Xiao Ning's expression is like today.
…
The Third Prince’s Mansion.
Xiao An has been very busy these days. He contacted many court officials and also went to the Xu family, the Minister of War, and the Wang family, a noble family, in person.
But the results were minimal.
Those who used to flatter him now know his situation and have changed their attitudes...
Of course, no matter what happens to Xiao An, he is still the third prince after all.
Now that he has lost his life, it can be said that he is no threat to any crown prince. As long as he behaves himself and does not cause trouble, he will at least be a prince in the future.
So whether it was the Xu family or the Wang family, their attitudes were still very polite, but of course they were not as polite as when he was in the limelight before.
This was like the sky falling for Xiao An.
Although he knew that those who had been trying to curry favor with him had changed their attitudes after he got into trouble, he was still recuperating so he didn't see it with his own eyes.
This time he came in person, but was treated like this...
The more Xiao An felt the gap between them, the more he hated Xiao Ning for causing him to be in this situation. But he couldn't enter the Heavenly Prison...
Xiao An drank the last sip of wine in the jar. The cold wine flowed down his chin, down his throat, and wet his clothes.
The front of his shirt was messy, revealing a bit of his fair skin.
Bang!
He casually threw the jar of wine in his hand away, and it hit the ground and broke into pieces with a crisp sound.
It also scared the person who was walking in.
"Your Highness!"
Master Xuan's voice was filled with worry, "What's wrong with you, Your Highness?"
Xiao An lazily leaned on the carpet, raised his intoxicated eyes to look at the newcomer, and grinned, "Master, Master...you are here."
When Master Xuan saw this smile, he was dazed for a moment.
This reminded him of the past...
At that time, the crown prince was not favored. As the grand tutor, he saw it clearly and knew that his future was hopeless. He originally thought that it would be a good thing to be able to teach the second prince Xiao Hong.
But Xiao Hong had a favored mother in Concubine Li, and he was the Prince's tutor after all, so naturally she would not choose him.
And by chance, he met the third prince Xiao An.
At that time, the third prince was a poor little boy in the palace. Because his mother was of low status, the emperor didn't even remember that he had such a son. Xiao Hong was arrogant and bullied him...
He noticed that the third prince Xiao An was particularly patient, so he taught him secretly.
He didn't have much time to go there, and every time he went, the Third Prince Xiao An would smile with expectation and gratitude, and the anxiety in his eyes would only disappear when he saw him.
The smile at that time... was just like the one just now.
But he often said that as a prince, one should not show his emotions, so Xiao An hadn't smiled like this in front of him for a long time.
Master Xuan was in a trance for only a moment. He quickly said with a straight face: "Your Highness, as a prince, how can you drink in broad daylight? Besides, His Majesty is still in a coma. If people knew about this..."
"No." Xiao An said, sneering drunkenly, "No one... no one will care about me... no one..."
After Xiao An finished speaking, he seemed to think of something, looked at Master Xuan, and stretched out his hand to him, "No, no... Master, I have a Master..."
Master Xuan tightened his hands in his sleeves, then stepped forward, but instead of holding Xiao An's hand, he supported his arm and helped him stand up.
Master Xuan's somewhat hoarse voice sounded, "Your Highness, I came here today to tell you a good news."
"Haha." Xiao An sat on the armchair, supporting his forehead with one hand, "Good news? What good news can I have now?"
Master Xuan's emotions had returned to calm, and he said in a cold voice, "The Crown Princess went into the Heavenly Prison to see the eldest princess today."
